Lo$er = Lover - Tomorrow By Together

Never in Jeongguk's life does he believe he's ever heard this much yelling and screaming bombarding against his ears all at once - not counting prom night since it obviously wasn't because of shouting that he became the way he is now.

Even while he didn't have his hearing aids on, he could hear this loud boom as though a drum is slamming against his ears. No matter how bad his anxiety pitched and the traumatizing flashbacks flew over his eyes in horrifying colors to the noises, he seems to be unable or just couldn't think of himself in a time like this and how this is affecting his negative state.

The only thing screaming in his head was to hold an angry Minho back, forcefully, who would attempt to lunge forward whenever the red haired teammate from the other side of the living room - being held back from Seokjin and Woosung - would provoke his anger with his own screeching and a threatening frying pan in hand.

Jeongguk expected this. After the news blew over, he knew his teammates would keep it sucked in about it to not make a scene in front of the other teams, holding whatever emotion they were feeling about the situation until they got home. Before they got here, Jeongguk even moved the coffee table aside and other objects out of the way that he knew someone would be tempted to just throw or use somehow - especially Karma.

At first when they arrived, everything was strangely calm for the first few minutes. It was so calm that not a word was exchanged from anyone, not even to him when they saw the young ravenette waiting for them on the couch. Jeongguk became tense to it since obviously this isn't like protective brother Karma and emotional hyper active Minho.

He actually had hope that maybe this situation isn't affecting the team as much as he expected.

But oh wrong he was.

So wrong.

He didn't realize it sooner how Karma was actually storming his way to the kitchen when he entered the apartment, snatching the first thing he saw - which was the frying pan on the stove - grabbing it by the long handle and with full force swung it to Minho's back while the man was making his way towards his room.

That's when everything got chaotic.

Horribly.

"YOU WERE FUCKING AROUND WITH MY BROTHER WHILE YOU HAD A WHOLE ASS GIRLFRIEND YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FOR ONCE JUST LISTEN TO ME!"

"YOU KNEW MY BROTHER IS PAN AND YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT! OUT OF EVERYONE, TAEHYUNG! SERIOUSLY! WHY USE MY DAMN BROTHER MINHO!?"

"YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH TAEHYUNG!"

"SAY RELATIONSHIP ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL THROW THIS FUCKING SHIT AT YOUR FACE!"

Minho eyes flared angrily, "My relationship with your precious twin brother-"

Karma with full force swung the frying pan towards Minho, but Jeongguk reacted quickly and spun Minho so he's in the line of it. The burning and sudden smack of the metallic object smashing against his spine forced unfavorable shivers in his damn bones to the impact, provoking a shriek out of his lips but Jeongguk held it back with teeth grinding together and tears blurring his eyes.

He can take it.

He can sure take it.

Anything to protect his team.

He can take it.

But through Minho's eyes, he sees someone getting hurt because of him. Just like how the team used their bodies as a wall to protect him and Taehyung out of the airport, and now Jeongguk protecting him from the wrath of Karma's anger.

Everyone being hurt because of his relationship.

Why? Why is this fucking happening?!

Why!

His blood boiled past it's breaking point in a mixture of frustration, and Minho carefully shoves Jeongguk aside, burning red eyes holding grave malice now while he storms towards Karma with fists on either side of him.

Ten and Felix tried getting in the way, but they were no match for Minho's high adrenaline when he easily pushed them aside with eyes only focused on Karma. Captain Hongjoong didn't intervene with this. He was actually the only one watching, sitting on the couch, with tired eyes to the scene.

He should get involved, since it's his team after all, but he knew better.

He knew Karma and Minho.

If they don't let out whatever they're feeling, it's only going to suffocate them and ruin the team in general.

They need to let it out.

And if they both care about Taehyung enough, they won't do anything to hurt each other to severely; even if they're all like family.

So Minho leaves a trail of fire while him storms towards Karma - who shoves Seokjin and Woosung off of him and also in pure rage stomps towards Minho with fists by his sides.

It all happened so fast where Karma's fist raised up, but was suddenly staggering back when Minho was quick to throw the first hit and punched his nose so hard that sent his face flying back.

It's as though Karma's anger ignited the second he pulls his hand back from his nose, seeing the warm. thick blood on his finger tips. His eyes flickers in crackling flames, snarling his teeth and screeches in wrath before shooting a fast but hard punch with his brutal hands towards Minho's face.

This is the first time a physical fight has ever broken out within the team, and Jeongguk was never ready to witness such brutal and horrifying scene. He could physically feel his body trembling, elevating more and more to the point he could sense his heart skipping beats, making his breaths hitch and hitch tighter in his throat.

One of his hands shakily rises to his chest, rubbing hard right on the middle to ease the tightness as the horror fills his eyes by how Minho and Karma are now on the floor - throwing hits so aggressively that blood is definitely the main goal in forcing out someway somehow out of them.

But Jeongguk wasn't alone.

Immediately by his side Woosung came - like the angel of the team that he is - but Jeongguk only eases out a hand to not touch him right now.

Truth is, he's okay.

Okay, maybe not physically but mentally and emotionally surprisingly he's not so.... In that state of his past as he usually would be upon facing something that could negatively trigger his emotions.

Maybe it's because his main focus is on his teammates rather than himself? Is that how it works? Who the fuck knows.

Or maybe this is progress?

He's definitely going to have to talk to Yoongi about it.

It's as though his body is physically reacting, yet his mental and emotional state is still.... Focusing on the scene before his eyes in paralysis.

Minho aggressively pins Karma to the ground by the hair, corner of his lip bleeding and a bruise on his eye, yet still murderously holding a screeching and equally beaten up Karma down.

Taehyung is definitely not going to be pleased by this.

"STOP FIGHTING ME KARMA!"

"YOU FUCKER WAS WITH MY DAMN BROTHER WHILE BEING WITH SEULGI-"

"IT WAS FAKE!" Minho exclaimed, the desperation clear in his gaze with his wrath to convince his teammate, keeping his grip still stone tight, "We only said we were together to keep me and Taehyung a secret-"

Karma suddenly shrieks angrily, throwing a vicious tantrum and managing to kick Minho off him before shakily climbing on him and throwing a punch to his face.

"YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" Karma screams, swinging his fist down on him again, "YOU FUCKED WITH MY BROTHER! MY FAMILY-"

"YOU ARE MY FAMILY KARMA!"

The fist that was about to meet Minho's face stops the second he said this, still held up in the air with Karma's face stern and heaving in a growling snarl while Minho now has his gaze glittering in tears while trying to be strong.

And he didn't stop from there.

"You're my family too Karma," Minho repeats, voice cracking as fragile as glass, "So is Jeongguk, Ten, Felix, Hongjoong, Seokjin, Woosung, Hoseok, the skating teams, Seulgi, and... Taehyung."

One of Karma's eyes evidently twitched, still not moving a muscle but no doubt those words did hit a nerve.

A nerve he didn't want it to be nagged.

Irritated, he shakes his head angrily to keep his composure, "You honestly expect me to be fucking okay with the fact that you and my brother have a thing going on? And I never knew about it!"

"BECAUSE WE KNEW YOU'D ACT LIKE THIS!" Minho exclaims in aggravation, the tear now gliding down his cheek to the pressure on his chest, "I didn't want to lose you, and Taehyung didn't want to either. We only did what we had to do to protect our relationship Karma! Please understand!"

Karma's jaw tenses, his fist still tight with eyes narrowed, "Yeah.... And look where that lead to. Now you both are screwed."

This was a fatal blow to Minho's heart, forcing more tears out as the realization settled in.

They are screwed. May get suspended from the team or any other activities. Will get judging eyes wherever they go. What was once normal is gone.

They fucked their own lives up.

Karma only rolls his eyes, fighting back the harsh burning in them because of how hurt he is for the pair in this situation, before he gets off Minho and storms to the hallway, but stop mid step and turns his head back.

"You two do whatever the fuck you want, not like it was any of my business to start with."

Before Minho could even say anything, Karma walks off to his room and slams the door shut.

Leaving everyone now in this silence.

Piercing and agonizing silence.

All of them knowing that after today, this team will never be the same again.
