Jeongguk felt his heart sink when he heard Hope's voice across the phone. Were they okay, most importantly, was he okay? How could they put him in danger when they had not even made it to the mission yet?

"Are you serious?" He growled out, his hand gripping the phone harder, his fingers digging into the sides.

"I trust you with one mission, one mission Hope." Jeongguk retorted.

'We are so incredibly sorry, Jeon. We really screwed up'

"Hows V? He okay?" Jeongguk dropped the angered act, just making sure that they were okay. Sure, he was mad, but that did not stop the fact that he cared so much.

'V's fine. His muscles are fired, a few cuts, nothing untreatable.'

"You better be glad nothing too bad happened to him, or you'd be in hell until you actually went there. Now get here before I go insane." Jeongguk whispered the last part into the phone, sounding a lot calmer from just a few minutes ago. Calmer since he knew V was okay.

'Jin got in trouble with a cop.'

"We can bail him, I'll send someone down there to get you guys, and have a talk with someone."

Jeongguk hung up.

(In the car)

"I'm so screwed. Jeon's going to be so mad." Taehyung put a hand on his forehead as he leaned on the window. His mind was creating a concoction of bad future scenarios.

"Jeon won't be mad, calm down." RM deadpanned, watching as the driver pulled into a forest of tall trees, breaking through it to a large building that was well hidden within the dense vegetation.

Hope gently picked up Taehyung, who squirmed in the hold. His legs and arms hurt like hell from the adrenaline his body produced, and so rapidly too.

"H-hurts hyung." Taehyung called out weakly, his grip on the boy growing stronger as the ride was getting bumpy. There was a point where Hope was sprinting, making Taehyung lose balance a couple times, only to rebalance and stay put.

When they reached the lobby, Hope walked into Fae. Fae liked to walk around and "monitor" the other members, she feels helpful when she does so.

"What happened to you guys? Was the mission too hard that you had to crash to get out of it?" Fae quirked a brow, her lips curving into an obvious smirk that showed just why she was really there.

"Faith, we don't have time for your games, I need to get V back to Jeon." Hope snapped angrily at the girl, marching off with Taehyung, who seemed content in the hold by now.

Hope set the boy down, Taehyung balanced on his feet, a little wobbly but managing to keep his weight at a good, even balance between each foot, but leaning on the wall was a must.

Hope knocked three times, the door slowly creaked open. Jeon stood there, his arms crossed, his mind flaring with rage toward both the boy who resided in jail and the one in front of him.

"Hope, go get Jin. Then bring him to me. V, we need to talk."

Hope nodded and skipped off, going to do the acquired mission.

Jeongguk pulled Taehyung into the room, pulling his body close, his arms wrapping tightly around his frame. This left Taehyung in shock, why was he not mad? He failed a mission. Jeongguk should be furious, but he is not.

"Why aren't you mad?"

"Remember when I told you that you aren't allowed to apologize?"

"Yeah."

"I'll never get mad at you Tae, I worried my ass off- let's set you down, I'll give you a massage- I'll run a warm bath, soak the muscles, loosen the acid building on them, then I'll massage you, we can call it a night, deal?"

Taehyung giggled and pecked Jeongguk's lips before looking him in the eyes again, his arms loosely around the leader's neck. Jeongguk had his hands on Taehyung's hips, lightly holding the weak boy in place so he would not fall over.

"Deal."

Taehyung could not hide the humungous smile dancing on his lips as he was lifted and brought to the bathroom for his warm bath.
