Jungkook's pov

"I am JUNGKOOK!! Jeon Jungkook!! Can you recognize me???" My voice cracked with raw emotion, pleading for a flicker of recognition in her eyes.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her breaths were shallow and rapid. "J-Jeon J-Jungkook?" she stammered, her voice barely audible over the moment's chaos.

"Yes, Y/n, it's me," I affirmed desperately, taking a cautious step closer. "Remember us, remember our love."

"Kill him! He is trying to manipulate you!" Taecyeon's voice reverberated through the room, a vicious reminder of the threat he posed.

"C'mon! You have to remember me! It's me, Jungkook! Remember our trips, our laughter, our dreams together!" Tears streamed down my face, mingling with sweat and determination.

"Don't listen to him!" Taecyeon's command was sharp, cutting through the air with malicious intent.

"Y/n, I love you!!" I shouted with all the fervor in my heart, reaching out to bridge the distance that had inexplicably grown between us.

"Y-you love me? J-Jungkook?" Her voice trembled, her fingers tightening around the gun, torn between the memories stirring within her and the confusion clouding her mind.

"Kill him!" Taecyeon's desperation was palpable, his voice cracking under the weight of his crumbling control.

"Jungkook loves you!" I pleaded desperately, my voice breaking as I struggled to break through the walls that had been erected around her. I assumed my name triggered her memories.

"Kill him!" Taecyeon's demand echoed through the room once again. His frustration and fury mounted with each passing moment.

"Try to remember!" I implored, my heart pounding in sync with each beat of the deafening silence that enveloped us.

"NOOO!!!" Y/n's scream pierced the air as she fired the gun, the bullet grazing past me and embedding itself into the wall behind. My heart hammered on my ribs in anticipation. I could have died. 

Her tear-streaked face wacontorted with anguish and uncertainty. The room fell into a stunned silence, broken only by Y/n's ragged breaths and the thudding of my own heartbeat.  Her hands shook uncontrollably as she dropped the gun to the floor, her gaze fixed on the devastation around us. "STOP!!!" Her voice cracked, a cry torn from the depths of her soul. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks, mirroring the torrent of emotions raging within her.

I regained my strength, fueled by the recognition in Y/n's eyes. 

"Why you?!" I intercepted Taecyeon's hand mid-swing, twisting it sharply. He groaned in pain as I kicked him, lips already bloodied. "How can you even think of touching her in front of me?"

"I WILL KILL YOU!" I straddled him, raining down blows.

Tears streamed from Taecyeon's eyes. "David! Help!"

Suddenly, David was behind me, choking off my air. Despite the pressure on my windpipe, I continued to pummel Taecyeon, my rage drowning out everything else. "You challenging a black belt in Taekwondo?" I scoffed, flipping David away. His head collided with the wall, rendering him unconscious.

"You will pay!" I spun around at Taecyeon's voice. He was airborne, fingers clutching a syringe aimed straight at me. My mind raced to find a way to evade the attack, but I was trapped, with no escape in sight.

GUNSHOT!

Taecyeon staggered backward, clutching his stomach where blood was seeping through his fingers. The syringe fell from his hand, clattering to the floor. My gaze locked onto Y/n, who stood there with smoke wisping from the gun in her hand. Her eyes were clouded with confusion, a thin trickle of blood tracing down from her nose. She looked fragile, barely able to support her own weight.

"STOP IT! STOP FIGHTING! It's hurting my head! I hate your faces! Both of you!" Her voice quivered as she fired again, this time aiming at me. I dodged the bullet and hurried toward her, but she pressed against the wall, retreating from me. "Get away from me! Leave me alone!"

Without hesitation, I snatched the gun from her trembling hand and threw it aside. "Calm down, Y/n!"

"No! It was so painful! I don't want to go through that again!" Her cries were almost deafening.I enveloped her fragile body in a tight embrace. "No one will hurt you. You are safe with me," I whispered, running my fingers through her hair.

"You're lying. You're planning to hurt me like him," she sobbed.

Tears overflowed from my eyes. "No, love. I could never hurt you. How could you think that Jungkook would hurt you?"

"J-Jungkook wouldn't hurt me, promise?" Her eyes searched mine for reassurance.

I nodded fervently. "I promise."

It pained me deeply to see her remember my name but not our shared memories. I knew I had to keep reminding her, keep triggering her memory. "Come on, Jungkook will take you home. Hmm?" I wiped her tears gently, her gaze fixed on me like a lost child's. I guided her outside with me, determined to bring her back to safety, away from this nightmare.

.................

It was a vast corridor, its length stretching endlessly into darkness, and I had no clue where the exit might be. Y/n clung tightly to me as we moved forward, my body still throbbing from the recent fight. "Shit!" I muttered under my breath as we entered a large storage area, filled with crates and barrels.

"You can't escape. HA HA HA!" Taecyeon's voice echoed through the godown. He stood not far away, clutching his stomach where blood seeped through his fingers. Despite his injury, he aimed the gun at us with a twisted grin.

I felt a surge of irritation at the relentless persistence of this devil. "Why won't you just go down?!" I muttered, pulling Y/n even closer to shield her.

Instead of aiming for us directly, Taecyeon directed his fire towards the barrels of explosives stacked around the room. The shots rang out in quick succession, hitting their targets with deadly accuracy.

The room erupted into chaos as the barrels exploded one after another. Flames licked at the crates, sending plumes of smoke into the air. The heat was intense, searing my skin even from a distance. Y/n squeezed my hand tightly, fear evident in her eyes as we searched desperately for an escape route amidst the growing inferno.

"HA HA HA! We die together!" His laughter filled the air, manic and filled with malice.
