Taehyung laid his hand over the man's shoulder gently and skipped to the elevator. He had a small smile in his lips but his eyes were sad, almost dead thinking of his situation. He really wanted an escape from this, to lead a normal life with friends and start a family but once into the business, there is no way out. It is not like Taehyung didn't try to stop himself but he got one last mission which was impossible to finish.

"You are so badly hurt." The man said as he helped Taehyung lean against the wall while pressing the button of elevator.

"So are you." Taehyung coughed as his throat went dry and that caused him to spit another chunk of blood on the floor.

He hesitantly looked down to see the mess that he caused but the other man was calm as he kneeled down to wipe it with his jacket. Taehyung felt bad for being weaker than the other not because of his pride but it just made things hard for both of them. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath while waiting for the elevator to open. Seconds felt like hours to him as the pain from his thighs shot up to his brain because of the posture.

"I will carry you." The man offered noticing the situation.

"Not with one hand." Taehyung chuckled as he hopped to the apartment door and waiting for the other to open it.

"I have called the doctor. Don't worry, okay?" He assured as he opened the luxurious apartment which finally looked like a home.

"Even you need treatment." Taehyung inspected the other man before landing on the couch.

"Very much, because you broke my hand this time. I am excused from the next two missions so I don't know if I should thank you or kill you." Jungkook grinned as he carefully took out his shirt which was soaked in blood.

"Not my fault, your men came there. I asked you to turn off the gps."

"As if you turned it off. If Jimin weren't there, I would have died in Yoongi's hand."

"And it was your stupid idea to fall down those giant stairs. I clearly warned you about breaking bones and hitting the edges. That was for real, unnecessary." Taehyung complained as he tried to pull his pants down to examine the cut.

Jungkook wanted to badly help but with one hand, it was impossible and he would only end up hurting the boy more. He watched Taehyung squirmming because of the pain and his eyes shut tight. He just moved to the boy and held his shoulder for support, the least he could do for the man he loves. He was feeling sorry, he didn't have to cut Taehyung that deep but he just had to lose his grip like always.

"Tae, why are you still holding on?"

"Wh-what doooo you mean?" Taehyung cried out as he finally pulled the pants off his thighs, pooled to his legs.

The fresh big cut was covered with dried blood, making Jungkook want to throw up. It was indeed a really big cut because his bones were nearly visible at a spot. The guilt which he had till then tripled watching the pain on the older's face. Taehyung was the type who never complains and Jungkook knows it too. He would take in all the pain till he dies but would never try to blame or complain Jungkook for it.

"I know this is my fault. I always lose my control even after knowing I shouldn't hurt you this seriously. I just get carried away knowing how much it would hurt you and at times even your screams and groans doesn't even reach me." Jungkook was frustrated at his own self that he started to take it out on Taehyung.

"It's been more than a year and I am used to this, bunny. You don't have to worry about it like you always do. We have no choice." Taehyung comforted the younger as he tried to tie a cloth over the wound.

"We do have a choice, Tae." Jungkook said it out so soft that it came out as a whisper.

"I thought we agreed to not mention about that choice. You need to go and clean the blood from your face now." Taehyung spoke trying to avoid the conversation which usually ends up in a fight.

Jungkook understood the sterness in the other's voice so he just sighed and walked to their bed room. Jungkook hated his life just like Taehyung did but he can't quit because of his commitment to Namjoon. Namjoon saved him from the mouth of death not just once or twice but thrice and Jungkook needs to return the favour. He has to stay in the gang to protect the older from all the danger even if it means, giving his life.

He was really upset when Namjoon got his leg hurt while he was right there to protect him. He was angry when Jin threw the knife at Namjoon but Taehyung's pleading face came to his mind that he didn't dodge the knife or take it on himself. Jungkook was the type to take the knife for himself if that is how, Namjoon would be protected. Jungkook wanted Taehyung to quit the missions and stay with him, perhaps do a decent job but all those were shattered when he received the last mission.

The mission which he would never be able to finish off. Jungkook could hear the door open and a strange voice coming from the living area. He knew it was the doctor because no one else knows the password to open the door other than them. He stayed there not wanting to see Taehyung go through more pain but it wasn't easy because the older man screamed in pain.

Jungkook just plopped on the floor and closed his ears tightly with his hands. He dug his face between his legs and waited for the scream to subside. He was feeling his heart crush at the painful cries and moans but what else could he do? He kept muttering sorry to Taehyung as his eyes shed tears like a river. He would be probably getting a stitch over the cut but it was nearly bones and not even a little skin.

"I am so sorry." Jungkook mumbled before passing out on the floor.
