Chapter 31

Jimin shielded himself with his arms and closed his eyes, expecting to feel the pain of a bullet coursing through his body. When the pain didn't come, he opened his eyes and gasped when he saw Jungkook wrestling Hyun-Seok, he gun was knocked out of his hand and was on the ground. Jungkook was enraged and he pushed him into a tree and punched him hard in the face. Hyun-Seok felt his nose break from the impact of the punch and Jungkook punched him multiple times, slamming his knee into his stomach which made him groan in pain. Jimin watched all of this unfold, frozen in place from the shock of being alive and seeing Jungkook. Jungkook threw the man to the ground and stepped on his chest, leaning in to look at his face with pure hatred and anger.

"You bastard. So you tried to kill me and my boyfriend? You think I'd let you get away with shit like that? I'll fucking kill you myself." Jungkook kicked the man hard in his stomach, the man was bleeding and bruised, yelps of pain coming out of him as he tried to move away.

"N-no.. please... don't kill me..!" Hyun-seok whimpered and Jungkook stared at him.

"You don't want me to kill you? So you can easily take someone else's life but when it comes to your own, all of a sudden it has value? You disgust me." Jimin then ran to Jungkook and grabbed his hand, pulling him slightly and making their eyes meet.

"Jungkook... please, don't kill him. I don't want you killing anyone, you don't deserve to have his blood on your hands. I called Taehyung, he'll be here with cops. This man will be arrested.." Jimin said as he looked at Hyun-seok, still feeling rattled from what happened.

After 20 minutes they were found by the police and Taehyung. The man was arrested and would await trial, Tae briefly spoke to them before leaving them alone as he and the cops went back to their cars with Hyun-seok. Jimin watched them leave then felt Jungkook pull him into a tight hug.

"Jimin... if you had died, I-" Jungkook began but was interrupted by Jimin.

"I know. I'm sorry I left without you, I just didn't want you being in danger... but thank you for saving me."

They embraced each other for a while longer before heading back to Jungkook's house.
