Yoongi was missing.

The brothers had called all hands on deck putting every ear to the ground, hoping to catch a wind of anything even remotely related to Yoongi or Bangtan.

But so far there was no news. It had already been four days since they had figured something was up. Namjoon, Hobi and Jimin barely came home these days. Since the estate had to be kept off the grid, they were operating from Seoul to better coordinate with their men.

Jungkook had gone to Daegu and was due back today. Daegu was Yoongi's home town before he had joined the gang in Seoul. He still had ties there. Jungkook had gone to find out if he could trace his steps there.

Sua could barely function, she was worried out of her mind. Her brother was in trouble, she could feel it in her bones. She prayed day and night for his safe return.

She had just turned to bed when she heard a car outside. She ran to the window in her room checking who it was. Hobi got out of the car followed by Jungkook, Namjoon and Jimin. They were talking amongst themselves but she was too high up to hear them. She quickly ran downstairs while they were just entering.

"Did you find anything?" She asked.

"Nothing solid yet, no. You should go back to sleep Sua. We will let you know if there's anything." Jimin said softly as he put his hands on her shoulders and squeezed slightly. "Don't worry too much ok." He whispered close to her ears, leading her back to the stairs.

Her eyes met Jungkook's, he looked uncomfortable. She wanted to ask him if he had found anything in Daegu but Jimin was pulling her away.

She had barely closed her eyes when the voices whispering outside her room woke her.

"She deserves to be there just as much as anyone else."

Tae, she recognised.

"But she just went back to sleep less than an hour ago. We will tell her tomorrow morning" the other person whispered.

Jimin?

"No Jin hyung called a family meeting. She's family, Jiminie." Tae sounded adamant.

So it was Jimin, she thought. Sua got off the bed and opened the door just as Tae rose his fist to knock.

"Jin hyung has called a meeting in the dining room." Tae explained. "There's news" he added at her confused expression.

They were all gathered around the dining table. Tae was still rubbing his eyes. It was 2:00 am, he had been fast asleep but this couldn't wait. Yoongi had been missing for almost ten days now and there was finally news. They all waited eagerly for Jin to tell them what was going on. Sua sat between Jimin and Tae. She was constantly fidgeting in her nervousness. Tae gently lay his hand over hers to calm her.

"I'm sorry for waking you all. But this couldn't wait. We have received information that Pyo Su-Bin has captured our brother." Jin began solemnly. "This seems primarily in retaliation to the recent execution of his brother and his men by Yoongi and Jungkook. The video was sent to Boss Choi who seems to have put a bounty on both your heads." He said looking at Jungkook. "I'm not yet sure where Yoongi's being held but he hasn't reached Busan yet. Once he's in Busan and Boss Choi has him........" his voice trailed away.

"Pyo Su-Bin, the drug lord?" Sua asked.

"How do you know about Pyo Su-bin?" Jungkook growled at her rising from his seat.

Sua went silent and looked at her feet in fear. She had reacted involuntarily.

"I asked you a damn question!!" He advanced on her menacingly.

Jimin stood up between them and though he was a lot smaller and shorter than Jungkook, in that moment he looked so dangerous that Jungkook took a step back.

"You will not speak to her that way." Jimin warned, his voice cold.

"That's enough Jimin-ah." Namjoon said sternly. "Sua, please tell us what you know" his voice was kinder towards her.

Sua looked startled. She looked at Jin who nodded reassuringly.

"I know who he is. I also know where he holds his prisoners." Sua spoke quietly.

"You know....?"

"What do you mean?"

"Where is it?"

"I knew it!!"

Everyone was asking at once. The last remark from Jungkook. She looked up at him questioningly.

"Why is it that every time there's something suspicious going on that you're in the middle of it?" He asked looking smug, hoping his brothers would finally catch on by themselves without him having to be the bad guy and ruin the image they had of her.

Sua looked down at her feet again. She could feel the stares of the rest of them on her. They were waiting for her to answer, she realised.

"I was held there for a while. I know that place, it's near Daegu." She said in a small voice unable to look up and meet any of their eyes.

"Tell us where it is. We need to get him out before they decide to move him to Busan." Hobi said.

"That place is a maze. All of you can't go in there together. You would never make it out." Her eyes were wide with fear.

"We will figure out those details later Sua. Can you point the place out on a map?" Joon asked patiently.

"Yes I can but I won't" she answered.

Their shock at her words was speechless.

"You little...." Jungkook started again before Jimin blocked him.

"I wont tell you but I can take you there. And only one other person can enter with me." She said looking around the table. "I can't let you all go in there blind. Those people are dangerous."

"So are we" Hobi said darkly.

Sua wasn't convinced. She looked at Jimin. Her Angel. Though he was bigger than her, he was still lean and....... delicate! Beautiful. She couldn't in her right mind let him be subjected to a fight they were sure to lose.

Jin understood her fear, he chuckled "Sua, Jimin may look innocent and fragile but after Yoongi he's our most experienced fighter. He's actually very dangerous." He assured her.

Jimin rounded on her with astonishment "Are you seriously worried about me right now? We need to be thinking of Yoongi. You can draw me a map of the place and I will lead the rescue, Sua. There will be no negotiation on this. You aren't going."

"I am going Jimin-ah. Drawing a map from memory is unreliable and you know it. They have over twenty armed men guarding the place. You and me, we can go in and out unnoticed. Think about it. Everyone together will draw too much attention. Just the two us would be quick and easy. We are small and can hide efficiently." She reasoned.

"Are you out of your mind?" Jimin scolded her.

"I think she's right." Joon spoke quietly.

"What? Hyung! You can't be serious." Jimin said taken aback.

"There isn't enough time Jimin-ah. I would rather have a clean rescue than risk any more of you."

"I can do it Hyung. Please, she can't go in there. I won't allow it." Jimin was adamant.

"Jimin" Sua laid a hand on his arm.

"No! This is insane. Do you even know how to use a gun, Sua?" He asked.

"That's why we will go together Jimin-ah." She tried.

"I'll come with the two of you" Jungkook interrupted.

"No!" Sua disagreed

"No way!" Jimin too.

"There's a big chance Jimin will get hurt trying to protect you. And I'll be damned if I let my brother be hurt for the likes of you" Jungkook said looking at her with contempt.

Ouch. She flinched.

"Enough!" Namjoon slapped his hand on the table. "Yoongi is in trouble and here we are bickering like children over trivial matters." He scolded them.

Both Jimin and Jungkook hung their heads in shame.

"This mission needs all hands on deck" Joon was all professional now. The leader in him had taken precedence. "Seokjinie? Taehyugie? Are you guys ok with this."

They both nodded. "He's our brother."

Namjoon gave a sharp nod of agreement. "I will not accept any more arguments. Jimin will lead the main rescue." He looked at Jimin who looked attentive and nodded once. "Sua will guide him inside." Sua nodded.

Jimin opened his mouth to argue but was cut off with a sharp look from Namjoon.

"Jungkook will accompany the two of you." Namjoon continued. This time both Sua and Jimin couldn't stop expressing their displeasure.

"Please Joonie..."

"But Hyung...."

Namjoon slapped his hand on the table again silencing them immediately. "There's a possibility that Yoongi may be injured or worse. In that case, neither Sua nor you will be able to carry him out. At least not without being caught." Namjoon spelled out. "You will need Jungkook. He's strong and he's a good shot."

Jungkook looked smug and nodded in agreement.

Sua had to agree that he had a point. Jimin will not be able to carry Yoongi and sneak out while handling his gun. She would practically be useless once they were inside.

"Sua" Namjoon called, drawing her attention to him. "Will you be able to administer basic first aid if needed?" He asked her.

"Yes. I've had some medical training." She didn't feel useless anymore.

"So its agreed then. Three of you will lead the mission inside. We will be outside and will infiltrate only if necessary." Namjoon looked around at them all.

All of them nodded in agreement.

"Everyone please dress for combat and meet in the armoury in 15 minutes." Namjoon announced. "Me and Jin will work on the plan. Sua, we will need you to describe the place and its perimeter in as much detail as is possible for you. So please dress and be down quickly." He said softly.

She hurried away to her room. She quickly pulled on a pair of black cargo pants she had picked up at the mall the other day and a black tank top. She pulled her hair into a high ponytail and secured it with a band. Within no time at all she was running downstairs again. She hurried into the library and looked around confused. She knew the entrance to the armoury was from the library but she'd never been in there before. She saw a bookshelf that was slightly crooked at the far side of the room. She walked to it and realised it was a door which was slightly ajar and she could hear voices coming from inside. She opened it further and walked in to see Namjoon and Jin already working on the plan.

The armoury was a huge brightly lit room lined with numerous shelves on one side and a glass case holding many different types of guns and hand grenades, knives and daggers. It was all very overwhelming.

She joined Joon and Jin and quickly began working on showing them a rough bird's eye view of the place.

Tae walked in heading straight to the long shelves that seemed to hold all kinds of tech and other equipments and got to work.

Jungkook was next. He walked to them first looking at the hand drawn plans and then moved the other side of the room to pick out guns.

Jimin walked up behind her just as they finalised the plan and had planned everything from the actual rescue to getaway.

"You look great" Jimin said earning irritated looks from the rest. "You look strong, like Bangtan. Like us." He smiled. "Except..." he thought for a moment "Give me minute." He said running out again.

Sua turned back to the others feeling embarrassed. But Namjoon and Jin were both smiling.

"He's right. You do look like Bangtan. You are Bangtan now." Namjoon said proudly.

Jungkook scoffed from the other side of the room.

"Ignore him Sua, he's an idiot. You are Bangtan." Tae announced throwing Jungkook a disgusted look.

Jimin rushed back inside and covered her shoulders with a black leather jacket.

"Wear it and zip up. You cant leave your arms open. This will protect you from unwanted cuts and scrapes."

She put it on. "Woah! You look hot!" Tae wolf whistled and Sua flushed red. Jimin chuckled but looked at her appreciatively.

"Where's Hobi?" She asked in an attempt to divert attention away from her.

"He's loading the trucks." Jin told her.

Tae walked over to her fixing a small device into her ear. He handed her a phone and she looked up at him questioningly but before she could utter a single word Jungkook interrupted them.

"You're giving her a phone?" He asked Tae.

"Yes. She needs to stay in touch with us." Tae explained.

Jungkook shook his head disbelievingly.

"Jimin-ah" Jin called. "Show Sua how to operate a basic automatic glock."

"You want to give her a gun too??" Jungkook looked at them like they had all lost their minds.

"Jungkook-ah that's enough!" Namjoon called him to order.

Tae was already hooking up the rest of them on the handsfree headsets.

Jimin walked back to her and handed her a gun.

"Don't worry its not loaded. But Jin-hyung's right you should know how to fire it. You might need to be able to protect yourself in case I..... can't."

Sua gulped. She had never held a gun before. It felt heavy. Wrong.

"Its ok. Trust me." Jimin said calmly. His angelic voice soothed her nerves.
"Here. This lever right here its the safety." He pointed at a small lever on the side of the gun. "When its like that, it means the safety is on, the gun wont fire, see?" He said pulling the trigger which didn't go in all the way through.

"When your gun is on the holster, make sure the safety is on but when you take it off to use it, first make sure you turn the safety off, like this." He showed her how to turn the safety off. "Now you fire." The gun fired a blank but still startled Sua.

Jimin looked at her. "I wish I didn't have to show you this Sua. I can protect you." He said quietly.

"What and have Jungkook smugly tell us how right he was for the rest of our lives if you get hurt? No thank you. I would rather shoot myself." She muttered.

Jimin laughed softly. "How about we both don't get hurt, huh?"

She nodded.

He picked up a holster from the table and moved to buckle it around her. She was watching him but a prickling sensation at the back of her neck made her look up and straight into the eyes of her nemesis.

He looked hot, she thought. There was no other way to describe Jungkook dressed in all black. He seemed to be thinking along the same lines as he stared back at her with a fire burning in his eyes. He was watching her intently as Jimin fastened the gun holster on her. Her body turned hot under his unwavering gaze. As Jimin's cool fingers brushed the heated skin at her waist, she gasped.

"Did I hurt you?" Jimin enquired.

"N-no I.... I'm ok." She stammered.

"Okay. Now, I'll show you how to load your gun" Jimin said handing her the gun again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once everything was packed and ready to go they left for Daegu. Hobi, Jin and Jungkook in one car and Namjoon, Tae, Jimin and Sua in the other.

Jimin continued to show her how to hold the gun correctly, checking her posture and her hold, making sure she had her elbows lose and bent.

It took them over 3 hours to reach Daegu and another 20 minutes to reach the place they called Yosae. It was the prison where Sua had been held for months after being sold. The place still gave her the creeps. She had travelled to and from there to Busan multiple times with her captors, so she knew the outside as well as the inside of the prison reasonably well.

They parked in a nearby secluded area and covered the cars in camouflage nets.

They split up, setting up a perimeter. Tae sent up small drones to get an idea of the area. They were all so professional, she felt like a part of an action movie.
Jimin put a silencer on her gun and helped her shoot a few rounds. They spent the day collecting as much information about the place as possible but still weren't able to ascertain whether Yoongi was inside and which cell he was in. The prison wasn't too big but going in blind was still a risk. Even if Sua knew the place, they would still have to look through every cell to find Yoongi. Also, no one seemed to talk about it but it hung like a dark cloud over their heads that Yoongi might not be here at all. Her heart raced at the possibility of not finding him, she didn't want to think about it. They would find him, they had to, she thought fiercely.

They continued to monitor the situation for the rest of the day. As the sun set, she felt a change in the air. She had been sitting on a tree trunk besides Tae watching as he effectively mapped out the place from all the information his drones had collected. A few of the others lounged around them waiting for it to get darker so they could enter. Jin had distributed snack bars and water a while ago, not that any of them could actually eat.

Jimin signaled her to follow him. She quickly got up and followed him into the bushes. He turned around after they had walked out of earshot.

"Sua, I really think you shouldn't go in there. We have enough information of the building to draw up a rough blueprint and we will have to check every cell for hyung anyway." He said looking deep into her eyes.

"Jimin-ah" she groaned "We've been over this. How are you going to get out? Will you move around with your head buried in a map? How will you defend yourselves or Yoongi? And if he's hurt? What then?" she asked.

"I'm still not comfortable having you in harm's way Sua. You've already been through too much. Most people go through their entire lives without any near death experiences. You've already lived through several of those."

"Exactly. So I know how to fight for my life" she said tongue in cheek.

"It's not funny. Why do you want to test fate, Sua-ya" He whined, his eyes reflecting his fear in spite of his cool demeanor.

"Guys. It's time" Jungkook called. "Don't worry Jimin hyung, Sua will be between the two of us. We'll protect her together." He said sincerely.

Jimin walked to close to him, his eyes stormy "Can I really trust you, Jungkook-ah?

"Jimin-ah!!" Jungkook looked offended. "You are my brother. No matter what, that's the only thing that matters to me. I would die for you if need be. You know that."

"It's not me asking about, Jungkook-ah. I can take care of myself. Can I trust you to protect Sua?" Jimin asked again,

Jungkook looked at her, his eyes burning with sincerity. "I will" he said.

She nodded. "I will be fine, Jimin-ah. I trust both of you."

"Let's go then. And stay close to me please." Jimin still did not like this but he was out of time and there was nothing he could do to stop her.

They walked back to the others who were getting restless.

"There you are" Tae said as he ran to them. "Stop disappearing on me before I have got you synced to my system."

He took their phones and tinkered while Jungkook was arming himself with different tools and guns.

Jin came up to her and handed her a small back pack. "It has everything you will need to administer any sort of first aid. The front pocket holds syringes. You might have to give him morphine. There's an adrenaline dose in there too."

She nodded. She was trained in basic medical care at Uni. She could do this, she was sure.

Jin checked her gun. He released the magazine and reloaded it again. He made sure her holster was buckled properly and secured the gun in the holster.

"Are you wearing socks?" he asked her suddenly.

"Yes" she answered lifting up her cargo pants and showing him.

"Here" he said as he sat on his hinges and quickly slipped something in her socks. She looked at him questioningly.

"It's a pocket knife. A small back up if something goes wrong." He continued to fuss over her without meeting her eyes.

"Oppa?" She called.

"Hmm?" He still didn't meet her eyes.

"Oppa?" She called again.

He looked at her then. He was very close to tears she realized. She hugged him.

"Don't worry Jin Oppa. I'll be back before you know it."

"Just make sure you come back to me, okay?" he said sniffing.

"I promise" she said.

"You set?" Joon asked her.

She nodded silently.

"Be careful. Stay alert at all times. Remember we can hear you. If something goes wrong, we will come in after you." He paused making sure she understood. "I'm so proud of you Sua. Thank you for doing this for my brother." Joon said with feeling.

"He's my brother too, Joonie" she answered.

"Be safe, Sua-ya" Hobi called looking up from the monitor.

Tae walked up to her checking her bluetooth headset, his brows furrowed in concentration.
"Sua, I have yours connected to mine personally." He tapped the earphone in his ear. "So I can hear you at all times."

He squeezed her shoulders "Be careful."

Sua nodded. She was surprised by the composure he showed. He was stronger than everyone gave him credit for.

Jungkook held his hand out for her. She looked at him. "I won't let anything happen to you." He reminded her.

She took his hand as they walked to Jimin. He looked at their hands but didn't say anything, quietly turning around and leading them towards the prison.

The place was dingy and smelled of mold, just as she remembered. Jungkook hoisted Jimin over the wall. Sua could hear some scuffling and a silent pop of a gun and then silence. She panicked. Jungkook put a finger to his lips indicating her to stay quiet so he could hear. And then, there it was, a soft bird-like whistle coming from beyond the wall.

"Come on" Jungkook said pinning his fingers together like he had for Jimin to step on. Sua put a foot on his hands and jumped as he hoisted her up. She reached the top of the wall and swiftly climbed up. She could see Jimin on the other side.

Jimin threw a rope at her which she caught and then threw it down the other side for Jungkook. Jimin had already secured it on his side. He helped Sua jump down. They waited, looking at both sides of the passageway to make sure no-one would walk in on them and raise an alarm. She had her gun up, holding it with both her hands just like Jimin had showed her. Jungkook had climbed down to their side. The two of them quickly pulled back the rope and packed it up while Sua kept watch. Her main job was to be a lookout. She was to warn them if she saw anything suspicious. The gun was only for defence, Jimin had reminded her multiple times.

She looked back at them to see they were almost done.
"This way. Come on." She said indicating the path to her right. She waited for Jimin to take the lead.

"Game on, baby." Jungkook said with a grin. His lip piercing glinted and his bunny front teeth flashed at her in the darkness. God, she loved that smile, she thought pathetically and then shook her head dispelling the thought. She needed to concentrate on the job.

Jimin started walking ahead and she followed right behind him. They quickly made their way inside the building, crouching and heading down to the basement which held the prison cells. They could hear loud boisterous laughter coming from the upper floors. The guards were probably having some kind of a celebration. Which luckily meant that they wouldn't be guarding the prisoners.

Jimin froze suddenly and indicated them to stop. Sua and Jungkook plastered flat against the wall. Jimin swiftly peaked around the wall and leaned back. He looked over at Sua silently pointing two of his fingers at his eyes and then behind them. Lookout, she understood as she gave a quick nod and moved away from the wall and stood pointing her gun towards the way they had come down. Jimin indicated Jungkook to follow him and both of them crouched down and moved towards the entrance. She heard it again, the tiny pop pop of shots being fired. And when the familiar whistle came, she quickly followed it.

Jungkook was pulling the bodies out of eyesight just like they had done to the guard at the wall. She tried not to dwell on how many people they were killing. They weren't hurting innocents, she reminded herself.

"The cells are through here. We should split up so we can cover more ground." She said to Jimin.

"You stay with me." His voice voice was stern.

"No we don't have a lot of time Jimin-ah" she argued.

"Jungkook will take the right side. We will go left." He continued as if she hadn't spoken.

"Jimin-ah....." she tried again.

"Jungkook-ah?" Jimin called

"You're the boss" Jungkook shrugged.

That's how professional she was supposed to be. Jimin was the leader in this mission and Jungkook followed him without question and here she was arguing with him again. "You are the boss." She agreed.

Jimin gave a curt nod in her direction. "Let's go then."

They entered the basement. The walls were lined with prison cells. It smelled like rust and salt and rot. It smelled like death, she thought. Sending up a silent prayer hoping they would find Yoongi alive.

They moved from cell to cell whispering his name. The inmates grumbled, some begged to be saved. It was hard for Sua to ignore the cries of young girls and move to the next cell. But Jimin pulled her with him. They had checked almost ten cells when Jungkook's voice came through their headsets.

"I found him. He's hurt, come quick." He sounded worried and without another thought Sua took off running in the opposite direction from where they were headed.

"Sua stop! You are attracting too much attention." Jimin whisper scolded through the headset.

Sua stopped running but continued to briskly walk towards Yoongi's cell. Jimin was close behind her. Jungkook had managed to get the prison door open and was squatting next to a lump on the floor.

She rushed inside and gingerly lifted his head. Yoongi whimpered and then started thrashing. His eyes were swollen shut, she noticed.

"Ssshhh.... Yoongi its me." She whispered.

"S-Sua?" He asked, his voice hoarse and barely audible "I must be dreaming again." He whispered.

"No you're not. I'm here. So are Jungkook and Jimin. We're here to take you back home, Oppa." Sua explained.

Yoongi chuckled and then winced like even that small movement had caused him pain. "You never call me Oppa"

"I will from now on, if you like it." She joked as she checked the extent of his wounds.

A broken arm, she noted. A few damaged ribs, there was swelling on his ankles too, probably from being bound too tight.

"Where does it hurt Yoongi-ya?" she asked, her voice breaking.

"Everywhere" he chuckled and winced again.

"Hurry" Jimin called from the door where he was keeping watch with Jungkook.

"I'll need some help." She called back.

Jungkook came in. "What do you need?"

"Hold his head up." She let him hold Yoongi's neck in her place.

She pulled out a syringe from her backpack and filled a shot of morphine. Yoongi's sleeve was torn on oneside she pulled on it and it ripped out completely.
"Ah! be gentle, sweetheart" Yoongi muttered.

She quickly cleaned a patch of skin with a cotton swab pre dipped in spirit and injected him. She pressed the tip of the used syringe against the floor breaking the needle and threw it in the corner. She gingerly tried to lift his broken arm and Yoongi swore.

"I'm sorry Oppa but I can't wait for the morphine to take effect. We need to move." She quickly pulled out some medical tape from the bag and wrapped it around his arm. He thrashed and bit down on his lip to stop himself from making any sound.

"Can you move?" She asked after she was done taping up his arm.

Yoongi tried to sit up but the movement caused him pain. His face contorted and a moan escaped his lips. He fell back with a huff.

"No I can't. You should go, Sua. Please just go." He cried.

"We're not leaving you here Hyung. I will carry you." Jungkook looked at Sua "Help me get him on my back"

"No wait." She said bending over Yoongi to check his sides.

"We're running out of time Sua" Jungkook warned.

Sua ignored him and watched as Yoongi jumped when she touched a specific spot on his side. "He has a broken rib." She tore his shirt completely off him revealing a set of carved abs and a slim waist.

"Ah! There goes my favourite shirt" Yoongi said dryly drawing a chuckle from Jungkook.

"I'll get you a new one" Sua said as she taped his side. Yoongi groaned at the pressure. But stayed still.

"Sua" Yoongi called gruffly "you might want to check my left thigh. One of the bastards stabbed me yesterday."

Sua checked and sure enough there was an open wound on his thigh. He had bled through his pants. The wound wasn't too deep though, so she quickly bandaged it up.

"It will hurt like a bitch but we need to move now. The morphine should kick in at any moment but you will still feel the discomfort." Sua told him and he nodded.

She looked at Jungkook and nodded. Together they got him up on Jungkook's shoulders. "Let's get you home, hyung" he said walking towards the door.

"Sua you will now be the tail. Please stay alert and be careful." Jimin warned her she nodded.

They quickly walked towards the exit and retraced their steps through the basement.

When they reached a T-junction in the maze like path, Jimin walked straight ahead followed by Jungkook with Yoongi on his shoulders. Sua was close behind Jungkook when she noticed a movement on their left from the corner of her eye.

Without any hesitation her instincts took over as she stepped between the danger and Jungkook.

"Sua!!! NO!!!" Jimin screamed.

She pointed her gun to man in front and pulled the trigger hitting him straight in his head. But at the same time she heard a loud bang come from his gun and felt the bullet whoosh past her ear.

"Sua? Sua? Are you ok? Please answer me!" Tae was screaming in her headset.

"I'm okay." She answered.

She heard Jungkook gasp. She whirled around "Did it hit you?" She panicked.

"Are you hit? We're coming in" Tae yelled.

"Just grazed." Jungkook's eyes moved to his shoulder and she saw the spot where the bullet had torn through his shirt and a left small superficial wound. It was bleeding but before Sua could check, Jimin was yelling at her to run.

"They're coming. We need to run!" Jimin yelled.

They moved as quickly as possible. Sua could hear Tae and the others through the headset as they moved in to the wall and threw ropes in.

Sua looked at Yoongi, he seemed to have passed out. He must be in excruciating pain, she thought.

They ran faster as they got to the last flight of stairs. Sua could hear shooting and screaming as they reached outside.

When they reached the wall, all hell broke loose. There were bullets flying everywhere. Bodies lay scattered on the ground. She just prayed none of them were her brothers. Jimin pulled her aside and looked her straight in the eyes. "Get out of here."

"W-what No!!" She argued.

"Please for once just listen to me Sua!" he screamed.

He held his hands out fingers entwined waiting for her to climb up. She stepped on them and he hoisted her in the air. As she climbed up the wall she felt it shudder several times from the bullets fired at it. She jumped down the other side and fell through the bushes. She rushed to the cars. "Plan B!! PlanB!!" She yelled into her headset.

"No! Sua get out of here!" Tae yelled at her.

"Go Sua please." Jimin

"Plan B was not for you to execute. Please leave Sua. Go!" Namjoon

She ignored them all. She knew Plan B just as well as any of them. She pulled the nets off the bigger truck and got in. She started it and drove out on the path driving ahead towards the gates of the Yosae.

"Move away from the gate!!" She screamed into the headset as she pressed down on the gas, throwing the truck into max speed. The truck hurtled straight through the gate pulling it off its hinges. The impact had her head hitting on the steering wheel and then pushed her back into the seat.

Her ears were ringing and she could see stars for a moment. But there wasn't time to dwell on it.

"Get in!!" She screamed.

The boys all ran towards the truck. Tae was half carrying Jimin. Her mind reeled. Was he hurt? Please God, let him not be hurt, she prayed silently, tears streaming down her face.

Jungkook dumped Yoongi in the open cargo bed of the pick up truck and continued to fire shots. Sua could hear the brothers scream at each other to get in. Once they were all in Tae banged on the side of the truck "Get it out Sua!! Now!!"

Sua put the truck in reverse and backed out of the entrance, the tyres squealing on the broken debris of the gate.

There were still a few shots being fired at them. There were supposed to be only twenty men in there. But there had been so many more.

She pulled the truck out completely and swerved around and headed down the path she had come. There were groans and moans coming from the back of truck.

"Is everyone ok?" She asked into her headset.

No one answered.

"Jimin-ah?" she called. "Someone please tell me what's going on."

"Are you hit?" Tae asked.

"No, it just grazed my shoulder" Jungkook replied.

Someone gasped "Namjoonie!!!" Jin screamed.

"What? What happened? Is he hit?" Sua panicked.

"Put pressure on it." Jin told someone. "The bullet is still in him. There's no exit wound. We need to get it out. There's just so much blood" he cried.

"Get it out then! What the hell are you waiting for?" Hobi yelled.

"The truck is moving too much. And I need to clean the wound first." Jin answered.

"Should I stop?" Sua asked.

"NO!!" Multiple voices rang out at the same time.

"Keep driving Sua" Tae said calmly.

Sua heard some mumbling through the headset.

"Okay. Can you find it on the map? Here, put the address in."

"Sua. Yoongi says he knows a place close by we can hide for the night. Can you reach your phone?" Tae asked her.

Sua moved her fingers. It hurt. She realised she had been holding the steering wheel in a death grip. She loosened her fingers and reached down to one of the pockets where Tae had put the phone in earlier.

"Got it." She answered.

"Great. I've sent you the location. Take us there." Tae instructed.

She opened the map and set up the route, clipping the phone to the steering and drove as per the directions shown.

"Stay with us Hyung. We're almost there." Jungkook was whispering.

Sua concentrated on breathing and driving. She couldn't even imagine the scene in the cargo bed. She drove for fifteen minutes before the map had her pulling into a dirt road to the only house visible at a distance.

"You will have to speak to him." She heard Yoongi from a distance.

She pulled up to the front of the house.

"I have to keep pressure on this wound" Jin said "Sua? Taehyung? Go ask the owner for permission to stay here. Let them know Yoongi is in the car with us."

Sua got out of the car just as Tae jumped out the back. They ran up the steps to the main door and rang the doorbell. A young man in his thirties opened the door after a few minutes, looking at them suspiciously.

"What do you want?" he asked Tae.

"Anneyonghaseyo Ahjussi" Tae bowed "I am Kim Taehyung. I am here with Min Yoongi." Tae started.

The man looked at Sua. She bowed too. "Yoon Sua. I beg you to help me and my brothers, please." She said.

The man's eyes softened. "Where's that bastard?" he asked looking past them at the car.

"He's in the car." Tae answered him.

The man walked down the steps and to the car, then peered into the back. "Yah! Min Yoongi. I haven't seen you in ten years. Now you show up at my door dragging in trouble with you" he accused.

"Je-bal Ahjussi." Sua bowed again. "They are very hurt."

"Ho Jun-ah. My brother's been shot." Yoongi said urgently.

The man looked at Sua "I want you all gone first thing in the morning."

"Yes. We will." She bowed again.

"You can't stay at the house though. You might've been followed. My family's asleep and if my wife sees you all in this condition she would panic." He looked away.

"Go around the house" he pointed to a dirt path to the right of the house. "Drive along that path for a few minutes. It will take you to the barn. You can stay the night there. I'll bring you some supplies in sometime."

"Thank you. Thank you so much for your kindness." Sua said fervently, her eyes shining with gratitude.

"Thank you." Tae said as he climbed back into the truck.

Sua drove along the path that the man had shown her and within minutes pulled up outside the barn. She quickly got out.

"Let me check" she said into the headset and rushed to open the door. The place was dark and musky but fairly clean. The hay was stacked neatly in one corner. It was one big hall–like room with a high ceiling. A few windows lined either sides.

She ran back out. "It's fine, we should go in."

HoJun pulled in behind the truck in his own pick up.

"I got clean sheets and towels. A few pillows. I didn't have much first aid but I got everything. There's water and fruits in the back too. I'll ask my wife to make you all some breakfast once she gets up." He said.

"Gumawoyo." Sua bowed as she relieved him of the stack of bedsheets and ran back inside.

She pulled some hay and laid it on the floor. Joonie was tall so he'd need more room, she thought as she laid out more. She covered it with a clean sheet and lay a towel on top. Jungkook and Hobi came in carrying an unconscious Namjoon between them. Jin was holding onto him. Blood was dripping from his side and on to the floor.

"Here, lay him here."she pointed at the makeshift bed.

"That's good. Sua could you make two more of the same please? Jin asked her.

"Yes, right away" she said moving to get more hay.

She lay it down near Namjoon's bed and rushed to get more. She readied two more beds. Tae and Jungkook carried Yoongi and lay him on one of the beds. Jungkook ran out again as Tae fussed over Yoongi.

"Sua! Your back pack?"Jin asked.

She was still wearing it. She quickly took it off and handed it to him.

"There's more in the truck." He said.

"On it" Hobi sprinted out.

Jungkook came in carrying a barely conscious Jimin. "You need to stop downplaying your pain, Jiminie hyung." He scolded him as he lay him down on the last bed.

Sua hurried to his side. "Was he shot too?" she asked checking Jimin for bullet wounds.

"No. Stabbed, I think. Check his back." Jungkook told her. She tried to move Jimin but he groaned.

Jungkook bent down to help her turn him.

Sua checked the wound. He would need stitches.

"Morphine" she said to Jungkook who nodded and went to get it from the backpack.

She ran to fill a bowl with the water Ho-Jun had brought for them and then proceeded to clean Jimin's wound. Once she had cleaned the dried blood and grime, she brought clean cotton and antiseptic from the back pack and cleaned the wound.

"Jin Oppa. He needs stitches." She said taking the syringe of morphine from Jungkook.

"I'll be right there. I'm almost done on Joonie" He replied. "Check on Yoongi, Sua-ya"

Sua injected the morphine into Jimin's arm and got up walking to Yoongi's side. "Does it hurt anywhere specific?" She asked him.

"I am stoned baby" he laughed opening his one good eye. The other one was still swollen shut.

Sua laughed too. But she still checked his pulse and made sure his bandages were secure.

She brought back the bowl of water and cleaned his face with the cloth. "That feels good" he cooed.

Sua smiled. She was glad she could bring him some small comfort in his pain.

She looked over at the others. Hobi had come back with the rest of the medical supplies and had set up a drip for Namjoon. Tae was helping Jin stitch up Jimin's wound. She looked at Jungkook. He was sitting at the foot of Jimin's bed and staring at her.

When their eyes met, he walked up to her.

"Sit down" he said.

"W-what? No, I am fine. Jin Oppa might need me yet" she replied anxiously.

"Sit down" he repeated "Let me take a look at your head"

Her head? She involuntarily raised a hand to touch her forehead. "Fuck!" she swore as the touch shot a jolt of pain through her.

"Come on sit here, let me see." He led her to a stool and sat her down on it.

He knelt down at her feet and stared at the bump on her head. "You hit it pretty hard, didn't you?"

Sua nodded wincing slightly. Now that he had brought the injury to her attention it was throbbing painfully.
He stared intently into her eyes "Are you having a problem with your vision at all?" he asked softly but her mind had gone blank. She stared into the dark depths of his eyes and forgot how to breathe.

"Sua?" he called.

"Hmm?" she managed.

"Your vision?" he asked again.

"I see you" she answered.

He grinned at her and she blinked.

"Yah! You're supposed to check her head not turn her into an invalid" Yoongi muttered from the side.

Sua looked away embarrassed at her reaction to him. The fact that he seemed completely unaffected by their contact was even more unsettling.

"Stay put" he said standing up and walking away. He came back a few moments later and pressed an ice pack to her head. Her eyes moved to his shoulder which was still bleeding.

"You are bleeding. Do you want me to clean it for you?" She asked.

"I'm fine. You should rest." He replied walking back to Jimin's bed.

Sua sat with the ice to her head for sometime and then picked up the first aid kit and went to Jungkook. "Take off your shirt" she said setting the kit down.

"Woah! At least wait until we get home Jagiya." He smirked. "I'll take it all off for you then, I promise" he winked.

Sua rolled her eyes and waited for him to take off his shirt. He purposely kept eye contact with her as he slowly slipped his black tshirt over his head.

Sua couldn't help but stare. If Jungkook in black was hot, a shirtless Jungkook was flaming on a whole new level. His wide chest lead down to a perfectly chiseled set of abs before narrowing down to the smooth expanse of his slim waist. The band of his underwear was visible just above his jeans. Sua gulped.

He looked up at her from beneath his lashes and smirked again. Sua looked away before she did something stupid, like kiss him in an attempt to wipe that smirk off his face.

She slowly began cleaning the wound. He flinched when the cotton touched the cut. She blew on it softly. He stiffened. Sua looked up at him, his eyes were smouldering into hers. She looked away.

He hissed when she applied the antiseptic liquid. "Such a baby" she chided as she purposely pressed a little harder than was necessary.

Jungkook clenched his jaw."Are you punishing me?"

"Maybe" she said pursing her lips.

"I can think of better ways" Jungkook whispered staring up at her hungrily.

Sua pressed harder.

"Ouch" Jungkook flinched again.

"Aww did I hurt you?" she asked with fake concern. "You don't need stitches so I'll just bandage the wound" She gently placed a clean cotton pad on it and taped some gauze over it.

"All done." She announced proudly.

"Won't you kiss it better?" he pouted.

She narrowed her eyes at him and lightly tapped his shoulder, he winced. "Ah! You are a witch!"

She grinned and walked away leaving him hot and staring after her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jungkook lay down on the sheet on the far corner of the room. Sua had laid out sheets for all of them earlier. There were barely any pillows but she had saved one for him. He appreciated the gesture as his shoulder was stiff and uncomfortable. He had been watching her work tirelessly for the last hour. The girl really loved his brothers. There was no doubt about that in his mind anymore.

He watched as she carried a box of small water bottles inside. She left it at the door, picked out a few bottles and walked up to Jin who was lying close to the door. She knelt down close to him and placed one of the bottles close to his sheet. Jungkook couldn't hear what they were speaking but it made Sua smile fondly down at Jin. Jungkook felt a pang in his heart.

Once she had made sure Jin hyung was comfortable, she moved to Joonie hyung who had just regained consciousness a few minutes ago. She checked his IV and whispered something to him. She poked his cheeks making him smile. She smiled again as she placed a bottle next to his bed too.

Jungkook watched as she moved to Jimin next. They were within earshot. Jungkook watched as Jimin lifted a shaking hand to her face and tucked a strand behind her ear. Jealousy sharp and cruel sliced through him.

"You're hurt?" Jimin asked her.

"Just a scratch"

"It looks more than just a scratch. Did you at least clean it? Put ice?" His concern was evident in his voice.

"Yes Jungkookie put ice on it for me, a while back" she said.

His name on her lips did something funny to his stomach. He wanted to make her say it again. Preferably while she was under him and he was buried deep inside her.

"Good. You should rest now." Jimin said. "Where are you sleeping?" He enquired.

"Next to Tae" she said pointing in the direction farthest away from Jungkook. His mouth twisted.

"The water bottle is down here if you need it at night." She said as she lay a bottle on the floor close to Jimin's bed.  "Sleep well" she bent over a placed a kiss on his forehead.

Jungkook almost rose and snatched her away. Mine. His heart growled. He took deep breaths willing himself to calm down. She wasn't his, his mind reasoned. Yet, his heart corrected.

Sua had moved on to Hobi hyung. They were quietly laughing about something. Sua's laugh was something else, thought. Breathy, soft and giggly. It brought a smile to his lips. She ruffled Hobi's hair lovingly and laid his bottle close to him.

Jungkook watched as she walked to the box again to pick out more bottles. She was petite and slim but her curves were perfect in all places. Her hair had escaped from her band, flowing freely down her back to her waist.  She had taken off Jimin's jacket revealing her arms through her tank top. Her skin was all peaches and cream in the semi darkness of the room. It made him want to taste every inch of her. He was craving to touch her again but she was completely ignoring him.

She walked to Yoongi hyung who lay the closest to him.
"Yah! I thought you had forgotten about me" Yoongi complained.

"Never!" Sua said clutching her heart.

Yoongi chuckled as she checked his bandages. "I'm fine Ja mae. Don't worry too much."

"I will always worry about you, Oppa." She said lovingly.

"Hmm... I could never get used to hearing that. Oppa. I never had anyone call me that before" he mused.

"You do now" she smiled.

She really loved them, Jungkook thought again. She could have escaped during the commotion today. She had a phone and a gun. She could have easily made it out, yet, she had stayed.

"Sua-ya why didn't you escape when you had the chance tonight?" Yoongi asked, giving words to his thoughts.

"And leave you to die?" She asked him, surprised by his question.

"You don't owe us anything. Especially me. I almost killed you once" Yoongi muttered painfully.

"But you are my Oppa and I love you. I could never leave you behind" she confessed.

"You are too good for us Ja Mae" he smiled weakly.

"Sleep now. You need rest so we can move you home tomorrow."

"Jal jayo" Yoongi said as Sua quietly placed a bottle next to his bed.

Jungkook expected her to come to him next. His heart raced and he swallowed in anticipation. But Sua walked away from him without so much as a glance. His heart sank. She turned off the lights throwing the room in complete darkness. As his eyes adjusted he saw her kneeling next to Tae. He could hear their soft whispers. Tae snuggled into her lap and she brushed a hand through his hair.

His chest contracted. She hadn't come to him, he thought again. Well, what had he expected? He had tried to strangle her less than a month ago. Had insulted and ridiculed her at every chance he got. He closed his eyes. She had saved him tonight. Not once but twice. He remembered the way she had stood in front of him shielding him with her body while she had shot the man in front of her. Shame spread through him. After everything he had said and done she had been willing to take a bullet for him. Then when she'd had the chance to escape, she had come back and saved them all. They would have never made it out if it wasn't for her, he thought. No matter her past, she had more than redeemed herself. She deserved every bit of love and affection his brothers showered on her.

He lay there criticising his behaviour for an hour before he heard a soft rustling sound. Sua had gotten up from near Tae who was sound asleep. There were soft snores all around the room. She slowly walked to him in the darkness. He closed his eyes quickly, not sure how to react. She knelt down beside him and placed a bottle nearby. She hesitated before gently checking his shoulder. He opened his eyes and looked straight into hers. They were most definitely the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

Without another thought, he grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her to him before she rose. She fell on to him, her palms flat against his chest as his arms came around her pulling her closer. He looked intently into her eyes as he brought her face closer and rose to meet her lips with his own. The moment their lips touched, his heart sighed. Her breath hitched and he pulled her closer, his tongue begging for access.

A brief moment's hesitation and then Sua gave in slightly opening her mouth. He hungrily deepened the kiss, his tongue moving with hers and sending shivers down her spine. His hand moved down her thigh and pulled it over him until she was straddling him. He arched as his throbbing hard on touched her through the clothes. His hands roamed freely on her back and knotted in her hair. Her hands were still on his chest. He pulled her hair slightly, releasing her from the kiss and moving to place soft wet kisses down her throat.

Sua threw her head back giving him better access. His free hand sneaked in through her top and moved higher at a torturous pace. She started to grind against him and he barely contained his moan as he brought her mouth back to his own. When his hand finally found one stiff bead on her breast, she gasped. He swallowed her gasp and his tongue explored her mouth. His head was spinning. Her scent, the feel of her skin, her taste, everything was driving him insane.

Sua felt herself melting into him. She had craved to touch him all day and now he was in her arms. Her breast filling his palm as his thumb formed circles around her aching nipple. His other hand was knotted in her hair holding her head securely to him as he kissed her senseless.

Sua heard a soft moan coming from a distance. But she was too caught up in the sensation that was purely Jungkook, to notice. His hand let go of her hair and moved down to her rounded bottom. He grabbed it and pressed her down on himself. She could feel his hardness against her core. She was dripping wet, she realised.

Another moan. Louder this time. Sua stiffened. What was she doing? She was shocked. He was injured, she thought. Probably high on pain meds. She tore herself away from him when she heard another moan.

Tae, she realised.

She threw him a panicked look. Jungkook looked confused, his eyes hooded, his lips swollen from their kiss.

"Sua?" He whispered questioningly.

She shook her head and rose turning away from him, she quickly walked back to Tae and lay down beside him, hugging him.

Jungkook couldn't believe what had just happened. He had almost assaulted her when his brothers were all in the same room. He closed his eyes. She was driving him mad. He shifted uncomfortably, his dick painful in his jeans. He turned away, facing the wall as he slipped a hand into his jeans hoping to ease some of the pressure. He bit his lip, he could still taste her, his dick lurched in his palm. God, he was worse than a horny teenager, he thought. And if he didn't have her soon he would surely die from the pain of his hard on.

Only after he had managed to finally release some of the pressure did he slip into a fitful sleep.

This was my first time writing a full blown action sequence. Did I do it justice??

Also, I am very sorry for the delay. I would blame it on Jimin releasing his new album and Jungkook's live and Jimin's live. They just kept distracting me.  😜

Jungkook is so hot that writing smut about him is the easiest LoL. Plus the JK x CK pics released today so that helped a lot 😉 Here's some for you to enjoy.
