Kinda early update?
"Jungkook."
~
The ravenette spins around to see who stopped him.
He freezes, eyes meeting a pair of orbs that glisten with a lifeless spectrum of black.
Baekhyun.
But he's not alone.
Emerging from the depths of the night is a man that Jungkook not only hates but also fears
"Boss..." Jungkook greets, trying to hide the quiver in his voice.
The man smiles, not warmly but rather menacingly. "Ahh, Jungkook, how nice of us to meet again."
Jungkook nods stiffly, not wanting to enrage the man.
"Heard you got caught by the cops," Baekhyun states as his lips flutter into a wide smirk.
Jungkook tenses his jaw, "yes."
The older man steps forwards, his grey-ish black eyes meeting the young ravenette. A patter of rain starts to fall and Jungkook fidgets as the man continues to stare at him, eyes glancing over his shivering body.
"Well now that you're out, we have another job for you."
Jungkook furrows his brows, staring up at the man as if he had gone insane. "I just came out of jail, I can't..."
He trails off, noticing the man's eyes sharpen into a glare. "You do as I say now, okay?"
Jungkook gulps down his nerves. "I-I- can't."
Everything seems to cease all movements; The whistling wind and the crying rain only act as a mere backdrop to the deadly stare that the mob boss gives the ravenette.
"Are you refusing me?" The man asks, eerily calm.
Baekhyun snickers in the background, entertained by what he sees.
"S-Sir, I can't." Jungkook says as firmly as he can manage, quickly averting his gaze to the floor.
The older man is silent for a few seconds, allowing for the patter of the rain to be heard over their voices.
"So is that a no?"
It's not a question.
It's a threat.
And Jungkook is brave enough to agree, "y-yeah."
But it's a mistake.
Because one second he's standing upright and the next second he's on the floor, an iron-like fist clashing against his jaw. A sickening crack is heard along with the joyful sound of laughter.
Baekhyun joins the man in the spree of violence; He kicks the solid heel of his shoe into the ravenette's gut, causing the boy to groan out in pain.
Jungkook lays on the floor and takes in the hits. He doesn't fight back.
Not when he knows that the man who is currently punching him happens to have a single action revolver in his back pocket and one wrong move could result in Jungkook's brains been blown out. Simply said, it's an unfair fight.
It's an unfair fight in this unfair world.
The rain starts to hammer down lividly, crashing against the rough ground that starts pooling with the scarlet liquid flowing from the ravenette.
He groans out weakly as his body takes in the continuous jabs; He can only hope that someone would hear him, that someone would help.
But who would hear him amidst such a ferocious storm?
And for a second, Jungkook starts to believe it.
Believe that these are his last moments in this world. With every bruise that splits open and every crack in ribs, he thinks that this is his last.
And what's crazy is the only thing he can think off as he gets beaten to death is,
Bambi's still mad at me.
"Boss," Baekhyun says as he pulls out his phone.
The man pauses his actions and looks over at the younger male. "What?"
"They want us to meet at the..."
The male's words start fading in Jungkook's head. They merge in with the sound of the rain and Jungkook can barely process the sound of feet walking away from him.
He lays there on the cold wet street, feeling numb to the very core.
They're gone. Says a voice in the back of his head.
Get up, his body yells at him.
But he can barely move. He can't feel his limbs at all. All he feels is tired.
So so tired.
Maybe if he just... sleeps.
His eyes start to drift close but then an image of that blue-haired boy pops up in his head.

Jungkook is scared of storms."J-Jimin, I have to go," Taehyung says, standing up hesitantly as he looks over at his confused best friend.
Jimin frowns, "what, why?"
"U-uhh, um- I have a m-meeting... Yeah haha a meeting. I- have to go."
Jimin furrows his eyebrows "what meeting could you possibly have at-" however he doesn't get to finish speaking seeing as his best friend is already zooming out the door.
Taehyung speed walks through the dark hallways with worry written over his face. He knows that he should be staying away from the boy but he made a promise.
'I'll protect you'
And he just can't bear the thought of Jungkook being all alone in a dark room while this monstrous storm takes place outside.
And so he wills himself to keep walking to the dorm until he's right in front of it.
He slowly opens it, expecting to see the worst.
But never; Never was he prepared to see what was in front of him.
The dim light of the moon shines on the almost lifeless figure of Jungkook. Blood soaks the white linen sheets and bruises paint across the boy's body.
"Jungkook!" Taehyung cries out as he rushes to the boy; Dropping to his knees in front of him as he watches the boy's eyes roll in an out of consciousness.
"What happened!" Taehyung cries, his heart beating frantically. Jungkook doesn't respond.
"I w-will call an ambulance-"
"-Don't." The ravenette croaks out weakly. Taehyung stares at him in bewilderment.
"Jungkook, y-you're going to die!"
The ravenette shakes his head slightly and then winces in pain.
Taehyung then notices how soaked the boy is. His whole body dripping wet and his skin as pale as paper. Taehyung gulps in fear. What is he supposed to do?
