Song of the Chapter - (HALAZIA, ATEEZ)

Jimin POV

I glared at the person who had just entered the room and was now sitting on a chair. "What's wrong, Jimin?" he asked, sharpening his knife while smirking at me.

Not long after that, he got up from the chair and walked towards me, "relax dude – things will get better soon," he said, tracing the knife's tip along my cheek horizontally, leaving an extended, straight cut in the process.

I winced when my sweat contacted the cut, much to Yoongi's delight. "Hurt, doesn't it?" he mocked, laughing hysterically – I glared at him and tried to charge toward him, but he quickly stepped away before wagging his index finger mockingly.

"Nice try, but you will have to do better than that," he said before punching my cheek.

I groaned in pain and threw my head back – shutting my eyes.

"If only you'd sided with your father – this wouldn't have to happen," said Yoongi before grabbing a fistful of my hair and smiling wickedly at me.

Your POV

"Y/n/n, can we go to the amusement park?" asked Chaeyoung. I looked at her while raising an eyebrow – we had returned to my place after eating at her place to watch a movie, but this time, Jin and Jisoo tagged along with us.

"But it's about to rain though," I said, trying to reason with Chaeyoung, but when she pulled the puppy eyes card against me, I couldn't help but comply with her – I mean, nobody can say no to the look she was giving me.

Finally, I sighed and nodded, "alright, let's go," I said before getting up from the sofa.

I was about to head to the front door when Xiumin rushed downstairs, "Y/n!" he called for me as he approached me with his phone.

"Oh, Xiumin – what's wrong?" I asked.

Xiumin was catching his breath, "Your brother... he..." he panted.

I chuckled and patted his back, "woah, easy there, Xiumin. Take your time," I said – it seemed important. If it weren't, he wouldn't be in this state right now.

"Here," he said, handing me his phone.

I took it, "what do you want me to...." I paused midsentence before widening my eyes – I looked at the picture on his phone and then at Xiumin, and I did so a few times before finally studying the picture long and hard.

Jimin, my brother, was tied to a chair, and his face was covered in bruises. "He is kidnapped," I exclaimed before looking at Xiumin, confirming it.

Jin, Jisoo, and Chaeyoung, who heard what I said, rushed toward us in shock. There was a moment of silence as I tried to process what was happening before the door burst open, and Jungkook entered the house, drenched from the rain.

^^^^^

We discussed our plan for almost an hour – I know it was time-consuming, and Jimin won't be able to wait any longer, but we wanted to ensure there weren't any loose openings in our plan.

"Alright, let's go," Jungkook said, clicking his fingers before walking towards the front door.

I followed closely behind him but stopped when Chaeyoung grabbed me by the wrist. "I'm coming with you," she said, but I quickly refused.

"No, you can't come with us this time," I said before cupping her cheeks, "I can't risk hurting you again," I added.

Chaeyoung shook her head, "But...."

I shook my head, "Rosie, listen to me, please... I brought you along last time, and you ended up hurt. I can't repeat the same mistake again, please...." I said softly before pulling her for a hug.

After a minute, we broke the hug, and she looked at me with teary eyes, "promise me you will come back safe and sound," she said, trying to form a smile.

I nodded and kissed her forehead, "I promise you," I replied.

We broke the hug after that and stared at each other for a few more seconds, "Y/n, we have to go," Jungkook said, peeking his head from the front door.

I nodded at him before looking at Chaeyoung, "I love you," she said to me with a soft smile.

"I love you too," I replied before walking towards the front door.

"You better keep your promise, Y/n!" Jisoo yelled, and I looked over my shoulder, smiling at her.

"I will!" I replied before finally joining Jungkook and the others in Xiumin's car.

"Make sure to keep your promise, Y/n," Jisoo threatened me, and I smiled. "I will," With that, I got into my car and drove off to my Mr. Park, or my father's company.

We drove off to my father, Mr. Park's office, and as soon as we got there, the room was filled with other people – I recognized some of them as Yugyeom, the son of my father's old secretary, and Minhyuk, an old friend of Jimin.

"Alright, seeing that everyone is here now, it's better if we get going now," my father said before standing up from his chair. "Yugyeom, you lead them," he continued, entrusting Yugyeom with the role of our leader.

We quickly left the office, but before I could follow the others, my father stopped me for a moment, "make sure that bastard, Jichul gets what he deserved," he said to me, his expression serious.

I smiled softly, "you don't have to tell me," I said, knowing that Jichul would be getting what he deserved.

Jimin POV

"Get up, you son of a bitch!" Yoongi cursed before pulling me up with the collar as he punched me again. He didn't stop there, as he immediately started kicking me in the stomach repeatedly – I could barely breathe when he stopped.

With the bit of energy I had left, I lifted my head from the ground to look at what happened to Yoongi and saw Hoseok straddling him – his hands were still tied, but he tried to headbutt him before Yoongi pushed him off.

Yoongi kicked Hoseok on his head once before stopping. I looked at Namjoon, who was still unconscious beside me – I tried to wake him up, but before I could do so, Jichul entered the room.

"Okay, that's enough, Yoongi."

Jichul walked towards us with a gun in hand, "you are a good kid, Jimin..." he started before squatting in front of me, pressing the barrel against my temple, "if only you had chosen the better side," he sighed before removing the tape off my mouth.

"FUCK YOU!" I spat as soon as it was removed.

Jichul laughed wickedly before getting up, "you are feisty, just like your little brother," he exclaimed before handing the gun to Yoongi. "Do the honor," he told the latter.

Yoongi smirked and pointed the gun at me. I closed my eyes, ready to accept whatever might come.

*BANG*

I was expecting pain to jolt through my body when I heard the gunshot, but when I opened my eyes and realized that I was still alive, I looked around, seeing Yoongi's lifeless body on the ground before me – his lifeless eyes staring directly at me.

Not long after that, Kyungsoo, Xiumin, and Y/n entered the room. "Hyung!" Y/n shouted before rushing to my aid, helping me up from the ground.

"Hurry up and get out of here!" Kyungsoo shouted at us, and we saw him pinning Jichul on the ground.

Xiumin gave Y/n a hand to help me, "let's go!" he said before rushing out of the room – Hoseok was carrying Namjoon on his back as he left the room with us.

As soon as we left the room, we heard a series of gunshots before realizing that Kyungsoo was still in the room with Jichul.

All of us were in turmoil when Jichul wobbled out of the room; his shirt was covered in blood. "Why are you guys leaving so soon?!" he screamed before pointing his gun at Y/n, "if I'm dying, you are coming with me," he growled.

Your POV

When he pulled the trigger, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, but as I opened my eyes, I realized that the bullet barely grazed my skin and someone had taken it for me.

I looked at the person who did so, and my eyes widened, "sorry, Y/n...." Jungkook said, his eyes slowly losing their life.

"No..." I shook my head as I caught his body from falling to the ground. I watched as he died and felt a surge of anger as I gently took the gun from his hand and put him on the ground.

"Fuck you..." I mumbled before glaring at Jichul, my grip on the gun tightening as I charged toward him.
