"Jin hyung, are you sure it's good to split up?" Jimin felt concerned now.
"I know it's a bad idea, but he'll be less suspicious if it's only two of us. Tae and I will look, and Jimin...you and Jungkook will be together. If he saw me and Jungkook, he knows I could just teleport Jungkook away, and he wouldn't confront us. He's...afraid of Taehyung...but he knows you will fight, Jimin. I think this is our best bet. Just contact us from Jungkook's watch immediately, and I think everything should work out."
Jungkook sighed. "This is a bad idea..."
Jimin nodded. "I think so too. I...I don't know if he'll back off this time, since the first time there were people around, and the second time he hit me, and I had to call for backup..." Jimin looked like a sad puppy and pouted, feeling upset at the fact that he wasn't strong enough to fight Jae.
"He did what?!" Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jin all snapped their heads at him in confusion and anger.
"Oh-oh, you guys weren't there..."
"You didn't tell us? Me?!" Jungkook glared at him.
"S-sorry, I forgot to! And a-after I got back to your house, I didn't want to bring it up again since you seemed upset and sad about it so I just didn't-" Jimin rambled on.
"Stop." Taehyung held up a hand. "Just tell us what happened."
"Well, I was trying to stall him so that Hoseok and Namjoon hyungs would come in time, so I joked about my hickies-"
"To much information!" Jin hyung yelled, making Jungkook blush and Taehyung giggle at Jimin's shamelessness.
"A-and he stormed over to me and slapped my cheek and ripped my shirt off."
"In that order?"
"Yeah."
"Oh! So he's used his power outside of his job as well, we can add that later. But seriously Jimin...you should've told us..." Jin spoke.
"I know..."
"You should've told me Jiminie..." Jungkook looked at Jimin, a little sadly.
"I know...I'm sorry. But guys, that's all besides the point! How am I supposed to fight him off this time if he's actually not afraid to use his powers more?..."
"You can do it Jimin. Just- use your powers too." Taehyung tried to be helpful.
"I don't use them when it's not a job!"
"Well you might have to! If you want to protect Jungkook, then I, superhero V, give you permission to use your powers to protect an innocent."
"Cool."
"Are we ready then?"
Jungkook took a deep breath before letting it out. "I'm ready."

"Jungkook, I'm not sure this is a good idea still..."
"Come on, don't be afraid. We're doing it! And then we can talk."
"Is it so serious that we can't talk now?"
"It's too serious. And well, it would be better if we waited till after Jae is gone...so yeah..."
"Ah...I see...it's serious..."
"Yes it is...and I'm sorry I left this part out of the whole story, I just..." Jungkook sighed. "I didn't want to be restricted again if I told you, because I thought by you knowing this part, you wouldn't want me to leave your sight..."
"Jungkook, that sounds concerning. I don't mind if I know where you're going, even if it's alone, but if you don't tell me, then how can I find you? You're lucky you have your watch on all the time, otherwise we'd never be able to find you if you left without a trace. And I'm sorry that I've been mothering you lately..."
"It's just something we'll deal with." Jungkook smiled a little. "Cause I would really like it much better if you didn't mother me..." Jungkook held Jimin's hand. "It's hard to treat someone more...lovingly...when they act like a mother..."
"Ah, I see. I'll try and not be a mother ever again if it means you'll be loving to me."
Jungkook smiled a little. "I'm sure you can handle that."
"I think I can." They smiled at each other and continued with their search, small conversations, and many stories being shared. Jungkook thought it rather funny that they were going to do the toughest thing, and yet they were laughing and having a good time. Jungkook somewhat forget his mission before Jimin spoke.
"Haven't seen him at all...I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
"You don't think he'd be this close to my house?"
"I think we should start heading to the park area, since that's where he was when we first saw him, he probably thinks you live around there?"
"Maybe? But then why did he end up at the bookstore? Shouldn't we look over there?"
"I doubt he'll go to the bookstore ever again..."
"Mm...okay, that makes sense. I guess to the park then?"
"Yeah. Also, just so you know, we're getting looks...I have a weird feeling."
"...my stomach isn't churning? So we're good for right now..."
"If your stomach churns, please run and not protect me."
"But it could mean danger! Which means I need to protect you, if it is, or isn't Jae."
"Speak his name and he shall come."
"Why are you like this. This is a serious matter, you basically just said you'd rather die then me save you."
"I mean...if you're okay, then I'm okay."
"Then are you ever okay?"
"Stop downgrading yourself!" Jimin slapped Jungkook's arm playfully. "You're doing just fine, well, better at least."
"Definitely better, but I hope...I hope
it'll end up well today. I mean, if he's looking for me, and I'm looking for him..."
"I'm sure we'll find him. Or maybe it won't be us at all, and we'll be back up."
"Yeah...hopefully the second one, but since it's me, we probably won't get that lucky."
They got to the park, and started to walk around that neighborhood, trying not to seem noticeable by other people, though getting unlucky a couple times.
"Superhero Jungkook?!" A couple kids ran up to them, surrounding the two.
"Y-yeah, that's me..." Jungkook gave them a shy smile, as they asked him questions and he gave them his autograph, before they waved, thanked him, and left them.
"You're so cute. You've got your own small paparazzi."
"They're the cute ones, not me. But I love when children recognize me...kids are adorable."
"Am I?"
"Of course you're adorable. I thought that didn't have to be said."
Jimin smiled, and brushed his hair back. "Yeah, I guess so."
Jungkook smiled back, squeezing the others hand a little, in which they had a small battle over who could squeeze harder. Jungkook won.
Jungkook's smile faded slowly from his face, making Jimin tilt his head in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just thinking is all."
"What is it?"
"Well, my train of thought is random, but I realized that I don't know much about you."
"Jungkook...I know. But I think you will fairly soon. After this whole ordeal, I'll definitely share more about me. We all have past demons, and I want to take care of yours first."
"Okay...I just really want to know you better then I do. I only know weird small things."
"Yeah, and I'm sorry that that's all you know so far."
"Hyung...I love y- shit." Jungkook's stomach churned, and he held his stomach immediately. Jimin understood before Jungkook could speak, and looked around. The neighborhood was completely empty, which concerned Jimin more.
"I- something has to be close. He has to be..."
"Unless it's someone else?"
"Mmm." Jungkook looked around, eyes widening. "No- Jimin!" Jungkook tackled Jimin to the ground, as a shot was heard, barely missing the two of them.
"Damn it Jungkook. I thought maybe you wouldn't notice." Jae's voice was heard, along with a clang, like something was dropped, but Jungkook couldn't find him. "If it's just you and that tiny boy, then this'll be fine."
Jimin touched Jungkook's watch immediately, before they both sat up. Jimin stood first, helping Jungkook up. "We should run...that can stall longer?..." Jimin whispered, looking all around, finding nothing. "I can shield us."
"Jimin, he's really fast..."
"Then how do you want to fight him?"
"Stall him a little, but it doesn't seem like anyone's around, so we don't have to worry about damage or people."
"Okay." Jimin closed his eyes for a second before he heard Jae speaking to what seemed like another person, and a yell from him. He saw Jae come into the open, getting away from whatever Jimin was making him see.
"You fucking bastard! Park Jimin, leave now, or else." Jimin took one step backwards, listening to Jae, before focusing on Jungkook. He would not be listening to Jae's tongue magic, for his own sake, and Jungkook's. "Jungkook, here." Jae pointed next to him, and for once, Jungkook didn't move.
Jungkook shook his head. "No Jae. I'm done. We're done. So please...make this easy..."
"Jungkook...baby...are you really going to turn me in? You know I never meant to hurt you...please come back...you left me..."
"Just shut the fuck up! I'm so tired of you and I've barely met you! Jae, you're under arrest." Jimin spoke up, making Jae smile sickeningly sweet at him.
"Sure, sure. But Jimin, you see, I've done some research on you...and I'm certain there's some things you'd rather not want to world...or rather your "precious, fucking beautiful boyfriend" to know?" Jae looked between the two, as Jungkook glanced at Jimin, who looked suddenly uncomfortable.
"Jae. Don't do anything. Just...please make this...easy. One last thing..."
"Jungkook, it seems you haven't done your research like you usually do. Are you slacking off on your job?"
"At least I have one."
"But Jungkook, wouldn't you rather know everything about him? Know what he really is? Know that he's a murderer. That he's a street kid who stole, and sold drugs, and did any job for money? Jungkook, I don't want you to spend your life with a bad person."
"Shut the fuck up! I'm not the bad person here, since you're trying to manipulate him again, after all you've already done to him! I don't want you to speak another word!" Jimin ran and lunged at him, Jungkook trying to stop him, but it was too late. The two were wrestling, punching each other. No powers, just a pure fist fight, in which Jungkook didn't know how to stop, so he willed Jin and V to come quicker.
"You- punch - murdered your only parents - punch - and killed many others! And for- punch- for what Jimin!? For what?!" Jae was yelling at the other who was on top of him, punching him.
"I said shut the fuck up! I only did it to protect people! And who the hell was there to stop me? No one! Don't think it was all my fault! Where were the heroes then huh? Where were they?!"
Jimin was yelling, as he was maliciously harming Jae, who had stopped fight. Jimin didn't notice that, as he kept punching the body underneath him. "Who stopped me?! Who cared enough?! It doesn't matter anymore!"
Jungkook's mind was blank. What...what was happening...did...Jimin really...
"Jimin! Jimin stop! Stop it Jimin, stop!" Jin's voice came from nowhere, as he and V ran up to them. Jin pulled Jimin off of him, as Jimin was still trying to hit him, anger and rage clearly visible in his heavy breathing and clenched bloody fists. Jimin glared daggers at Jae's rather limp body, a smile clear on Jae's face.
Taehyung had gone over to Jungkook, who was silent and eyes glazed. "You okay?..." Taehyung asked, but got no answer.
Jae laughed, some blood coming out of his mouth. "Jungkookie's...just a bit- cough - just a little shellshocked from some information. Jimin here-"
"Don't you fucking dare start again!" Jimin's voice was deep from rage, as he lunged at Jae again, Jin stopping him, holding his arms behind his back in a hot second.
"Jimin, stop. I will cuff you to a pole if you don't stop." Jin spoke clearly and harshly, making Jimin take deep breaths, as V went over and cuffed Jae, calling HQ to their location. Jae was still smirking as he sat up.
"Jungkookie~" Jae spoke, making Jimin glare at him.
Jungkook didn't answer, but he looked up at him.
"I'll miss you. I wish you...good luck with your soulmate." He smiled more, making Jungkook look down.
HQ vans came, and started rushing about, pushing Jae inside one, a final smirk making Jimin snarl, and Jimin being moved into one for inspection of harm, while the others watched.
Jungkook was still silent.
Jungkook was silent when they let Jimin go, and took Jae away.
Jungkook was silent when they got to Jin's house.
Jungkook was silent while Jimin took a shower and Jin and Taehyung made food.
He was silent.
Until Jimin came out, his usual pleasant aura gone, as the two shared a look, Jimin's eyes growing immediately sad, apologetic, and desperate. "Jungkook, please don't do this-"
"We need to break up." Jungkook's first words since the incident made Jimin's eyes water and the other two's eyes widen.
"Jungkook, please-"
"No. Jimin, we need to break up. Soulmates or not, I can't live with this. My...my morals, my self pride- you- I...you never said how much you hated heroes, but I'm glad I understand now." Jungkook exhaled through his nose, shaking his head, clearly upset. "So be glad! You won't have to deal with this again." Jungkook pointed to himself.
"Jungkook- no- I didn't-"
"Jimin, no words can save you from what I saw and heard. Please understand that. I will not...will not...okay? Goodbye Jimin..." Jungkook took one more glance at all three of them before leaving Jin's house.
"Jungkook..."
