When things you cannot even imagine in your wildest dreams happen, you do not know how to react. You freeze. You feel like you want to move a muscle or two, take a few steps and get out of the place but you can't because your feet are glued to the ground.

This is what happened to Taehyung. He stands there in the rain, staring at the spot where Jimin stood minutes ago. What the hell just happened? Moments ago, he was so happy. He wanted to share his happiness with Jungkook because he is his friend but since Jimin is Jungkook's best friend, he would have told him about it too. After all, he thought that the blonde haired boy was genuinely a nice person. That's the impression he gave at least until Taehyung found out.

Taehyung wonders if Jungkook knows about his best friend being a killer, a gangster or whatever the fuck he is. Jimin was scary out there and Taehyung wonders if the person he shot is even alive or not.

He keeps getting drenched in the rain but he is not able to move. His heart is still beating at an abnormally fast rate. But he knows he has to move when he hears footsteps approaching him.

He dashes into a corner and looks for a place to hide. His eyes fall on a pile of cardboard boxes kept at one corner of the alley. He moves as fast as he can and hides behind the boxes. He adjusts the boxes in such a way that no one can see him.

He sits there very quietly. Even his breaths are very calculated. Taehyung knows his life sucks but he doesn't want to die just yet so he tries not make any sound that would attract attention towards him.

After a few seconds, he sees two men clad in black, come to the alley. They have some kind of cleaning equipments in their hands and they start cleaning the road. One doesn't have to be a genius to know what they are doing.

They are trying to remove blood from the road. The blood of the man shot by Jimin. They are trying to erase the proof.

They are Jimin's men.

They are Jimin's men.

They are Jimin's men.

Taehyung cannot help but keep thinking about it as he stays hidden behind the boxes, getting wet in the heavy downpour.

The men go away after a while but Taehyung is too scared to come out of the hiding. He hugs his body and pulls his legs closer to himself, trying his best to stop shivering. His teeth start chattering too because the water is so cold.

He tries to clench his teeth together but he is not able to do that. He feels like his body is not in his control anyway. He is tired. Every inch of his body hurts. Taehyung knows he will pass out soon. His headache starts getting worse. Before he even notices it himself, he is already sobbing.

A few minutes pass and his state keeps getting worse. Keeping his eyes open is also a challenge for Taehyung. His eyes start drooping. His consciousness starts to slip away.

"Tae!"

"Taehyung!"

"TAEHYUNG!!"

Taehyung can hear someone calling his name. The sound seems to be coming from very far but in reality, the person is screaming his name from a very small distance.

Of course, that person is Jungkook.

His eyes pop out of their sockets as he sees Taehyung in the state he is. He rushes towards the cardboard boxes and removes them in a hurry.

"Tae, hey Tae!" Jungkook softly touches the blue haired boy's face and pats at it gently, trying to get his attention.

Taehyung sits straight with a jerk. He is just too scared. He thought that it wasn't Jungkook but someone else who came to get him. His mind feels blurry and so do his eyes. He has stayed in the rain for way too long.

"Tae, look at me please." There is desperation in Jungkook's voice. Taehyung slowly looks at him. Jungkook can see how tired and scared the boy is.

"Are you... are you okay?" The ravenette asks as he caresses both of Taehyung's cheeks. The blue haired boy looks at him innocently as he shakes his head.

Jungkook doesn't know what to do. Never in his life has he comforted someone. It's his job to scare people, not comfort them but seeing Taehyung in this state breaks his heart. The boy looks like a mess.

As if putting an end to Jungkook's dilemma, Taehyung himself moves closer to Jungkook and wraps his arms around him. Taehyung has always liked some kind of physical contact when he is distressed or feeling down. It always consoles him in a whole different way.

But since Taehyung became a loner over the years, he didn't have anyone he could share his feelings with. But then Jungkook came along and now he is glad that there is at least someone for him.

Taehyung doesn't totally want to be dependent on the ravenette but you do need people, don't you? Humans are social animals and there's a reason why they live in a community.

Jungkook wraps his one hand around Taehyung's slim waist while he uses his other hand to rub his back. He can feel him shivering in his arms badly.

"Hey Tae! Listen to me please." He says as he takes Taehyung's face out of the crook of his own neck. He tries wiping his face but it's of no use because it doesn't seem like the rain will be stopping anytime soon.

"Let's go back to the dorm, yeah?" Jungkook asks, hoping for a positive answer. But Taehyung is silent and the silence scares Jungkook even more.

Taehyung slowly nods his head. Jungkook mutters an 'okay' and sits on his knees. He puts his hands around the blue haired boy's back and says, "I'm going to help you get up, okay? I want you to try."

Taehyung agrees. Jungkook slowly tries to lift him up and even though Taehyung is deeply exhausted, he somehow stands up and tries walking with his roommate's help.

They have taken only a few steps when they see the sky and their surroundings lighting up from the lightning. A loud sound of the thunder follows soon after.

Taehyung is terrified. He hides his face in Jungkook's neck and shuts his eyes. "Shhh... it's okay. Don't be scared. I'll take you to the dorm soon and you'll be in your cozy blanket sooner than you expect." Jungkook whispers in Taehyung's ears and rubs his back again. The blue haired boy feels calm because of the other boy's actions.

But then it happens again. His legs freeze. He is too cold to move and Jungkook notices this. He knows that the boy in his arms needs warmth as soon as possible or he might get hypothermia.

He needs to take Taehyung out of here as soon as possible. He is so worried for him. He is also worried because of what his roommate has witnessed. He needs to take care of this mess carefully. He doesn't want anyone to get hurt but he does not want any secrets getting out either.

It's going to be very difficult for Jungkook. But he will manage it. There is no word like 'impossible' in his dictionary. After all, he is the Jeon Jungkook.

So he puts his one arm under Taehyung's thighs while the other hand supports his back. He lifts him up in bridal style and carries him to his car.
