Jungkook sat up, but he no longer heard any beeping. He was sweating as predicted, but he turned off his heater the previous hour. Jihoon turning up the heat was unthinkable, he always froze them out in the house complaining about the bill. Sleep seemed like no option to him.

Getting up and out of bed he decided he'd go sleep in Yuri's room, not caring about the consequences. Tilting his head he smelled something funny. Taking off his hoodie and throwing it to the side he heard the sound of a car door.

Who's up at this hour outside?

Walking over to his window he saw what looked like Jihoon getting in the car before quickly pulling out the driveway. Looking at the clock he saw it was 4:30 AM, Jihoon didn't leave for work for two hours.

Somethings wrong.

As the car was out of sight he turned around and went to his door, he could smell smoke. Twisting the door knob he felt that it was locked, panic rushed over him as he began shaking and pulling on it. Why was he locked inside? Banging on the door he began to fear the worst.

__________

Yuri was awoken by her heightened sense of smell, and the only thing she could identify the smell as was smoke. It was past 4:30 in the morning, and no one was cooking.

Getting out of her warm covers she walked over to her door and put both of her hands flat against it. The door felt hot, turning on her light she looked down and saw smoke entering from under the doorway. Her eyes widened.

Stay calm, and just breathe.

Using the sleeve of her hoodie she tried opening her door only to see it was locked. Looking out the window she saw the car was gone.

That's why Jihoon was being so nice, he was planning on this.

"Jungkook!" She repeatedly yelled in fear.

Hearing her screaming his heart ached, she must've been so scared. Using the screwdriver he found he grabbed the door handle.

"Ah!" He yelped, pulling his hand back.

It had so quickly made his door knob burning hot.

The metal door handle seared off the first layer of his skin, leaving it a dark red color, and very painful. Looking down he saw how gory it looked, moving on he walked away from the door, looking around to see what he could do to get out.

"Jungkook help!!" He heard her loud cries through the vents.

She was a floor below him, the fire would certainly reach her first. He couldn't imagine what would happen to her if he didn't do anything soon. Putting a blanket at the doorway to prevent smoke from coming in he looked up.

As hard as he could he began slamming his body into the door, ignoring the aches and pain he felt. Sweat ran down his face while anxiety took over.

Her cries for help became more distanced apart while he worked on getting her out of there. Jungkook stared as he looked down, losing his cool and beginning to panic. No longer hearing her he didn't know what to think. But he would risk his life if that meant at least trying to save her.

Walking up the stairs he heard a loud crackling sound as his door became engulfed in flames.

Running to the window he put on his shoes, it would be a race to get to Yuri's window. Grabbing his baseball bat, he knew he could get to her window and hopefully shatter it open with the bat.

Who would reach her first, Jungkook, or the burning fiery flames?

Unconsciously hyperventilating Jungkook could see the flames of fire behind him in the reflection of the window, and feel the heat. Turning around looking at the fire in fear he started lifting the window, only to feel it easily lift up.

Looking up he saw a firefighter.

"On the second floor my girlfriend and baby are in there you have to get them first get me after." He rambled, making it all sound like one long word.

"Who's in here?" The man asked.

"My girlfriend Yuri, and our baby."

"Okay, I'll have someone go to them now. Step out here with me so I can get you to safety."

"No, get them now!" Jungkook refused to move.

"I'm Jason, I have to get you down, I'll send someone now." He yanked Jungkook out onto the roof.

Jungkook followed the firefighters instructions after he heard him tell the team about Yuri. Still nervously watching her room from the outside.

"She can't hear." He mentioned, while he stood trembling as the firefighter directed him down the ladder.

"She can't hear?" Jason confirmed before saying it over the radio.

Yuri saw the fire come from under the door, her room was filled with a haze of smoke. She couldn't see anything. Her eyes burned from the smoke while tears poured down her cheeks.

Her heavy, unsteady, accelerated breathing made her feel light headed on top of the lack of oxygen. Backing up as close to the window as possible she leaned against the wall, shaking while she panicked.

Perspiration was dripping down her as her anxiety rose. She shut down, closing her eyes and sobbing, knowing there was nothing she could do. Putting her arm around her stomach she gasped for air seeing mountain tall flames, Feet from her face.

Feeling cold air behind her she turned around. Seeing the window open and a man and women standing on a ladder, connected to a fire truck. They reached their hands out gesturing to her to go with them, and she willingly did as fast as possible.

Both of them looked for a baby before seeing her stomach.

Pointing to the front of the house, the direction of the attic she looked at them. Her broken sobs trying to tell them to get her beloved boyfriend. Repeatedly pointing she looked back at them.

"He's okay!" The man shouted, forgetting she couldn't hear.

He pointed to the house and did the ok symbol with his hand before pointing to the ground. Seeing she nodded he pulled her closer to them both, before feeling her slowly go limp.

"She's out. Tell em' to reel us in so the paramedics can check her out!" The women shouted.

Jungkook was forced into an ambulance bed as he never took his eyes off of the house, waiting for her to be safely brought out and into his arms.

"I'm Eunji and you are?" The woman asked him.

"No one else is in the house right?" The paramedic looked at him.

"No. They set the fire and left us." He bluntly said, not even looking in their direction.

"Who?"

"Jihoon."

"Okay, we'll talk about that later. Right now we need you to put this oxygen mask on."

He saw a large heavy set man walking out holding Yuri in his arms. It didn't look good from Jungkook's view. Immediately he sat up and got off the bed rushing to her side.

"Slow down son," The man holding her said.

"Let me hold her." He reached out.

"Sit down, put on your oxygen mask and keep it there, let me do an exam and you can." Eunji negotiated, seeing Jungkook do exactly what she said.

He reached out his hands, and slowly pulled her into his arms.

"Why isn't she awake? Is she okay? Yuri!" He raised his voice in a frenzy, pulling off the oxygen mask.

"Her room was filled with smoke, and she was panicking. Likely she passed out from lack of oxygen."

The other paramedic quickly put an oxygen mask over her mouth and nose.

"Keep this on." Eunji reached over and put the mask properly on his face.

He looked down at her while he eyes teared up, to soot on her face and the redness around her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes, squinting at the bright lights above her.

Jungkook carefully lifted her up more, pulling her tightly against his chest. Her heard her gasp loudly while her body tensed up. He turned her head gently so she could look at him and made eye contact. Pulling the mask off, yet again he lipped to her "It's okay." Putting the mask back on before Eunji had an aneurysm, he rubbed his hand up and down her arm, soothing her the best he could.

"Are you injured, and what's your name you never answered?" Eunji looked at him.

"Jungkook." He answered and showed his hand.

"Ooh man, this looks like it hurts. I can give you a shot for the pain-"

"No. No shot."

"Okay. Where are your parents?"

He didn't know how to answer. Blankly staring at her looked down and shrugged his shoulders shaking his head.

"Who were you living with?" She softly asked, seeing it was clearly a sensitive subject.

"They took us from our parents." Jungkook mumbled.

"What?" They both looked shocked.

"You guys are good to go to the hospital." Jason shut the door of the ambulance.

A loud blast shook the ground and made their ears ring. Yuri cowarded in Jungkook's arms as the whole crew was just as shocked. He held her close to his chest tightly.

"Woah!" Jason turned around.

"I wish the best for you both. Stay healthy." He said to Jungkook.

He could hear Yuri breathing heavily, Jungkook knew how bad their anxiety was, especially hers.

"Baby." She sighed to him.

His hand was already resting on her stomach, and neither of them felt any movement.

"I don't feel anything." She looked up.

"What's she saying?"

"She can't feel our baby move." Jungkook worriedly looked up.

"We're gonna check that out now." Eunji paused. "You two were kidnapped?"

"When I was eight, and she was seven."

"Oh my god. We'll make sure that its addressed."

"Ok."

"Are you two are siblings?"

"What? No. I got her pregnant!"

"I'm sorry. I'm confused, they took you separately? "

"Yes."

Yuri felt them slowly lift her shirt, holding Jungkook's hand tightly as she intertwined their fingers. Trying to calm herself down. Feeling the latex gloves as they pressed and pushed on her stomach she just stared forward, going into her own little world.

The cold metal of a stethoscope was on the side of her stomach. She put her hand on Jungkook's chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat. Seeing dialogue between both paramedics she studied their facial expressions, trying to read them.

The stethoscope was moved to the other side of her stomach before she saw them both light up with grins.
