When he opened the door, he met eyes with the person he had put  through so much. His first love. All bruised and bloodied, tears staining her face as new ones silently rolled down.

Wonwoo quickly stumbled over to her J as he reached up to untie the ropes that had visibly created burns on both of her arms while whispers of 'im sorry' could be heard from his mouth. When Wonwoo had successfully untied both of her arms, she almost fell to the floor due to how exhausted she was but he held her up, holding her as close as he could.

J looked behind Wonwoo with wide eyes but she was too late to react when jisoo suddenly hit him on the back of his head with the gun in his hand. Wonwoo groaned as he fell to the ground.

J quickly rushed to wonwoos side as they were now both on the ground.

"I'm sorry." Wonwoo mumbled as he was still conscious.

"You're so pathetic." Jisoo spat "next to seungcheol, you were the one I hated most." He smirked as J noticed two men behind him.

"Let's settle this like men." Wonwoo finally sat up. "Let her go."

Jisoo suddenly walked over to them and grabbed J by her arm, making her stand up as he traced the left side of her face with the tip of his gun.

"She's quite pretty though. I'd hate to see her leave without a scratch."

"You fucking beat the shit out of her. What do you mean without a scratch?" Wonwoo yelled.

"Oh no, that wasn't me. That was someone you're more familiar with." Jisoo shook his head innocently. "Your voice is annoying me." He took a piece of tape, putting it on wonwoo's mouth.

"That mole on the top of your lip is so cute." Jisoo turned his attention back to the girl in front of him.

Without warning he leaned closer and placed a kiss right on the small mole.

"Mm" he smirked when he noticed Wonwoo trying to get up from the ground.

As Wonwoo attempted to get up, he felt two men's grasp on his arms. He looked up to see that they were twice his size.

J looked to the other side, to try and avoid Jisoo's lingering gaze on her. She wanted to burst out crying right then and there but held it in, trying so hard to be strong.

She was snapped out of her thoughts when Jisoo grabbed her by the back of her hair, making her look right at him. Wonwoo struggled and struggled which only led the men to tighten their grasp on him even more.

Jisoo crashed his lips on J's as she put her hands on his chest in an attempt to push him away, resulting in jisoo grabbing her hair with more force.

"How does it feel knowing no ones coming to save you?" He smirked in wonwoo's direction. "Not even your precious leader. You chose him over me but how much you wanna bet he's already dead."

Jisoo was a coward, everyone knew it and this only highlighted the fact more. He couldn't face Wonwoo one on one and that's why they were in the position they are in now with Wonwoo being held by two men as Jisoo gloated.

Wonwoo growled but his eyes went dark when he looked over at J who's eyes were glistening with the tears coating the outer layer, they looked like they held diamonds for a second and that's when Wonwoo snapped. This is what he had feared so much when their lives had intertwined with hers, this is what he had always wanted to keep her from, being in danger because of him. And so before he knew it, the two men were on the floor lifeless as Wonwoo only had bloodied hands, and the blood did not belong to him.

He looked up at jisoo who was wide eyed and in shock. Wonwoo pounced at the latter, grabbing him by the collar as he pushed him up against a wall, punching him as his head cocked opposite to whatever direction wonwoo's fists landed.

"Won-Wonwoo." J barely chocked out.

She didn't know why she felt scared of Wonwoo hurting jisoo, she just didn't want him to get hurt in return. Constantly checking the door and making sure no one else from Jisoo's side was coming for Wonwoo when he was alone.

"It was all worth it." Jisoo began in between punches. "She was so good." He smirked.

Wonwoo's eyes went wide, were they thinking about the same thing? Did jisoo reslly dare to even touch J? That's when Wonwoo only saw red, he wanted to kill him right then and there. He punched and punched, he couldn't stop even when he felt his knuckles throb.

"She really is a keeper." Jisoo winked even through all the blood rushing down on his face.

As Wonwoo took a step back confused, jisoo took his hand and roughly pushed Wonwoo back. Making him fall to the ground.

"You took away what was important to me so I'm talking away something that's important to you." Jisoo stumbled over to J. "Don't take it personal doll." He looked at her with his only eye that wasn't swollen shut from the constant hitting before taking a knife out of his pocket and stabbing her right in the abdomen.

J looked down as jisoo pulled the knife back out, making her yell out in pain as she put her hand over the now bloodied part of her shirt, falling to the ground. Wonwoo couldn't believe what had just happened, right in front of him. It was like everything became one big blur and he couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't. But it was all real, it had happened. Wonwoo was shaking as he tried to walk over to J and he gulped before looking away and front drop kicking jisoo right into the wall. Making him go unconscious.

"I-I-" Wonwoo tried so hard to stop shaking as he walked near J, who was crying on the floor with blood everywhere.

"Wonwoo!" Seungcheol came in all bloodied stuffing the gun that was in his hands into his waistband before walking over to J.

"What-what happened?" Seungcheol asked as more tears flooded down J's cheek.

For some reason, it didn't hurt. Maybe it was because of how shocked she was but the reason she was crying was because she was scared. More scared than she had ever been.

Wonwoo was still too in shock to move and finally snapped out of it when seungcheol aggressive shook him.

"Ji-Jisoo. He-" Wonwoo trembled as he reached out to wipe J's tears away from her face.

Seungcheol finally understood and attempted to stand back up. "We have to get out of here."

Seuncheol carefully reached down to carry J in his arms as the three made their way out of the garage.

"Where do you think you're going?" One of Jisoo's guys came out of nowhere. Followed by many more.

"Fuck." Seungcheol whispered as he closed his eyes a little.

Without thinking, Wonwoo stepped forward and turned around to looked at J in seuncheols arms. "Don't let her get anymore hurt. Please." He said as his demeanor changed a little before fighting off every single one of the guys in front of them.

J had her eyes closed, with her arms wrapped around seuncheol as she nuzzled her head into his chest not wanting to see all the fighting going on. Wonwoo came back by Seungcheol's side with a few scars and wounds on his face, looking at the pool of bodies laying on the floor all around them.

"This place is crawling with Jisoo's men. They're no match for seventeen but I can't take any chances. The rest of the guys are meeting us at the front. Let's take her back home and we can finish this later." Seuncheol softly spoke, referring to the girl in his arms.

They made their way to the front door when they heard footsteps behind them. As they turned around, there stood Jisoo, a gun in hand. Looking out of his unswollen eye.

Without uttering a word. Jisoo fired and a Pain groaned could be heard.
