Taehyung pressed on Jeongguk's wound to stop the bleeding while they grabbed bandages. He had lost a lot of blood, and his eyes were already dazed as if he was not even there anymore.

At one point, his heartbeat slowed at a drastic pace. This caused Taehyung to freak out, but in a few minutes Hope showed up with proper equipment.

Hope gently wrapped bandage around the boy's torso, watching as the bandage soaked with crimson.

"He needs to go rest, he won't take part in missions for a few weeks." Hope declared before lifting the boy with Suga's help. They took the boy to his room, setting him on the bed and pulling the cover over him.

Taehyung walked over to Jimin.

"This is scary," Jimin admitted, his eyes still wide from what had happened.

"How did you- take action so quickly?" Jimin looked at the limp body with the gun that rested right by his head, almost mockingly.

"Well, someone hurt my Jeonggukie. Simple, really." Taehyung smiled at Jimin. Jimin gave him the 'okay, you're insane' look.

"I'm going to check on him," Jimin informed, walking off to Jeon's room. That's when Fae walked straight up to Taehyung, with an apologetic look on her face.

"V, how are you going about this?" Fae asked, putting a hand on his shoulder for support, or at least she was trying to give some support.

"I killed someone.." Taehyung mumbled as if he was having a mental conflict with himself. He looked at Fae with old tears still lingering in his eyes.

"Welcome to the mafia life. Everyone here has killed a person before. You said you were in a mafia group before this one? Haven't you killed someone?" Fae quirked a brow.

"No, I was just the assistant."

"That job sucks, you get ignored by the leader so many times, that you feel nonexistent." Fae chuckled, trying to relate.

"Yeah, it is true, nobody paid any attention to me there." Taehyung smiled defeatedly.

"Look at you now, superstar. You get full on attention from Jeon. I understand why he hates me, I was an idiot, screwed up things." Fae admitted her mistakes, a small frown growing on her face.

"It's easy to screw up things with Jeongguk, just- be careful. Okay?" Fae told him, a small trusting smile on her lips.

"Look I know you may hate me because of my past with Jeon, but just remember that its not his fault, alrighty? Go get your man." Fae turned Taehyung around to face the hall that Jeongguk's room was down.

Taehyung chuckled and nodded his head. "Thanks, Fae."

"Anytime kid."

Taehyung made his way down the hallway, stopping at Jeongguk's door. He pressed open the door and saw the man lying under the covers, Jimin was by his side with a glass of ice water.

Taehyung walked up to him as Jimin left, probably in search of someone to talk to. Taehyung placed a hand gently on Jeongguk's bandage.

"He's strong."

Taehyung spun on his heels to see Suga leaning against the door frame with a sad smile.

"Oh, yeah. I know he is." Taehyung stared longingly at Jeongguk's limp body on the bed. Suga silently walked up and placed a hand on Taehyung's back. Taehyung thought it was a little odd for Suga to be doing this, but he shook it off as friendly comfort.

"Alright, well. See you later V. Tell me if you need anything." Suga patted his back and walked off, into the dark hallway. That's when Jeongguk opened his eyes. Taehyung grinned.

"It doesn't hurt that bad, right?" Taehyung mumbled, seeing Jeongguk grow a small smirk at the question.

"It hurts bad, so you should kiss it all better."
