"Does it hurt a lot, Tae?" Jungkook asks, his voice full of concern. He did not want a scratch on any of them but Taehyung ended up getting hurt. He feels bad about it. He told him that he wouldn't let anything bad happen to the both of them but still it happened.

"I got fucking shot! What do you think, genius?" Taehyung dramatically rolls his eyes even through his tears and Jungkook cannot help but smile at his roommate. The boy is something.

"Okay, take the passenger seat. I'll drive you to the hospital." Jungkook instructs him. The word 'hospital' always scares the blue haired boy. He often thinks what he would tell the doctors when they would question him about his wounds.

But right now, he also knows that he needs to get his wound treated. It's a gunshot wound. Not a few bruises got by a random fight. So he decides to actually listen to Jungkook and gets out of the car only to walk towards the passenger seat while covering his wound with his hand to stop the blood from flowing.

The cherry haired male gets out too and walks to the other side but his eyes fall on the car that had been following them. He sees Namjoon and Seokjin with two more men inspecting the car. He turns his head to look at Taehyung who is quietly sitting inside his car with his eyes closed. He sighs and jogs towards his people.

The two men other than Namjoon and Seokjin bow in respect but Jungkook just tells them to continue their work. They have already made the man who was trying to shoot them unconscious and put him in the car after handcuffing him and tying him up so that he does not run away when he wakes up.

"Namjoon hyung, do you want to tell me about this?" The cherry haired male asks. Ever since the pro hacker told him that he found out who is behind all this, he cannot wait to know. "I do but right now you need to focus on that boy you were with. And who is he by the way? Why do I have no clue about your friends in the university?" The older demands.

Jungkook looks at Seokjin for rescue. Even though he does not know much, he knows something so he decides to chime in, "Stop it, Joon. This is not the right time for all this. Kook, is that boy okay?" The oldest among the three asks him, pointing in the direction of his car with his chin.

"Uh... no. He got shot... in the arm." Jungkook rubs the back of his neck while looking down. A wave of guilt washes over his body all over again.

"Do you want me to look at him?" Seokjin offers and Jungkook's famous bunny smile decorates his face. "That would be great, hyung."

"Yeah. I'll be back, Joon. Don't wait for me. I'll call one of the drivers later." Seokjin says. Namjoon only nods and goes back to telling the other two men that they are supposed to get the car away from here and take care of the driver's dead body.

Jungkook and Seokjin walk towards the younger's car. Once they are there, Seokjin gets in the back and gently taps Taehyung's head to make him open his eyes.

As soon as the blue haired boy sees the older, he stops breathing. His eyes widen and his heart starts racing because he knows this man. He has seen him several times at the club from where he buys drugs for Mekong. It's Kim Seokjin, the owner of the club. Well, it's not Seokjin, it's Jungkook's father actually but the worlds knows that it's Seokjin for security purposes and normal people do not know what happens in the VIP section of the club. Only the rich and influential people and also some gangs know about drugs being dealt with in that club and a few more that are under Seokjin's name and they would rather not disclose it for everyone's safety.

"Hi, I'm worldwide handsome guy, Jin. Jungkook's friend." Seokjin introduces himself with a pretty smile. He has noticed that the younger looks scared which means he must have recognised him since he is a regular at the club for the drugs. He is just trying to lighten the mood because the air is too thick but Taehyung is beyond scared right now. He is not even working these days but some things just follow him wherever he goes.

"Are you gonna say something or not?" Seokjin raises his eyebrows, a 'not so impressed' expression covers his face.

"I-I-I'm Kim... Kim Taehyung. J-Jungkook's roommate." Taehyung somehow manages to spit the words out. "I know. It's nice to meet you, Taehyung but I wished we met in better circumstances when you were not injured. Anyway, I'm here to help you so get in the back while I treat your wounds." Seokjin says, patting at the seat next to him before bending down to pull out the first aid box from under the seat.

"B-But Jungkook was going to t-take me to the hos-hospital." Taehyung says, his eyes directed towards Jungkook who is already sitting in the driver's seat. The cherry haired male is not making any eye contact with him because firstly, he feels ashamed for not being able to prevent him from getting hurt and secondly, he does not know what he would say to Taehyung when he would question him.

What was he even thinking before pulling out his gun like that in front of Taehyung? But he had to do it. There was no other way out.

The cherry haired male sighs and finally looks at his roommate. "Jin hyung is an expert in treating these kind of wounds so we don't have to go to the hospital for this. Just let him do it."

Taehyung sighs and nods. Well, he can do anything to avoid going to the hospital. He is about to open the door to get out of the passenger seat so that he could go to the back seat but Jungkook holds his hand, "Let's go somewhere else first. I think police would come here soon anyway." Taehyung's eyes widen at the mention of the police. He hates the police. More like, he is scared of them.

They drive for another fifteen minutes before they finally reach a little inside the woods. During their short ride, Seokjin has been noticing how Taehyung has been stealing glances at the cherry haired male. Initially, he shrugged it off because everyone finds Jungkook hot and Taehyung is no exception but when he sees the future mafia boss doing the same, he finds it a little weird.

Then a lot of things start making sense to the oldest male. Whenever Jungkook talks about people, his face is devoid of any emotion. He doesn't usually care about them or their story until it's beneficial for him in any way. But the way he has been asking about Taehyung and the anger that followed after finding out the truth proves that Jungkook cares for the blue haired boy. If he did not, he would have got the information from Taehyung himself by hook or by crook. It means that Jungkook doesn't want to hurt him and this boy is special for him, right? Seokjin is not being delusional, right?

"Jin hyung, get to work." Jungkook instructs the older as he gets out of the car, dialling Namjoon's number.

Seokjin gets out as well with the first aid box which, by the way, has way more things that a normal first aid box contains for obvious reasons. He quickly moves to the passenger's seat and opens the door.

Taehyung looks at him with a nervous expression but he calms himself down thinking that Jungkook is just around. But now he has been thinking if he can trust Jungkook or not because he always thought that the boy was innocent but no innocent person carries a gun in their car and is friends with a club owner who, in reality, deals with drugs.

"Let me see your wound." Seokjin says, this time, his voice comes out softly, making Taehyung feel a little better. When the blue haired boy nods, Seokjin grabs a pair of scissors and cuts the sleeves of Taehyung's shirt. He looks at the wound carefully and smiles a little, "The bullet did not pierce all the way through your skin and muscles. It just grazed your arm."

"So that's a positive sign, right?" Taehyung bites his lower lip. He does not want anything to happen to his hand. You see, he wants to be an artist and he can't very well do that with a bad hand.

"Well, in comparison to actually getting shot, yes it is." Seokjin then starts tending to his wounds. He cleans the blood smearing Taehyung's hand and applies some antiseptic liquid on it before going ahead with the procedure.

All this time, Taehyung has his eyes closed. There's no doubt that all this hurts like a bitch but he knows he has to endure the pain to get better. "All done." Seokjin's cheerful voice makes him open his eyes. He looks at his wound which is now neatly dressed. "I'll prescribe some painkillers for you so that you don't feel much pain, okay?"

"Okay." Says the younger in a small voice. He wonders if he should ask Seokjin about Jungkook because the cherry haired male hasn't been in sight since the moment he got off from the car.

"Uh... J-Jin?" Taehyung calls out, his voice a little unsure.

"I'm older than you." Seokjin says, crossing his arms across his chest and giving the younger an intimidating look. He absolutely hates when people do not respect him. Well, that runs in the entire Orion for that matter.

"I'm sorry, Jin-ssi. Does that work with you?" Taehyung asks politely. He does not want to get on the bad side of this man because he seems like a powerful and important person. His aura says it all.

When Seokjin nods, he relaxes a little. "Can I... Can I ask you something?" Taehyung starts again. Seokjin nods again, hoping that the younger boy does not ask about anything related to what just happened.

"Uh... As you k-know that I... I got shot and you... you treated my wound for which I'm very thankful... I al-also wanted to know what J-Jungkook meant when he said you're good at t-treating these kind of wounds. H-How did you even see them? Carrying a gun and using it is not allowed for the civilians in Korea." Taehyung says, his heart beating really fast. What if he blabbed nonsense just now and got himself into trouble?

"Yeah, I know but I studied medicine in America. I saw a lot of gunshot wounds there and even treated them." Seokjin says hoping that the other would buy it but Taehyung is still in a dilemma if he should believe Seokjin or not because he knows that this man does not do anything remotely related to medicine. At least on the basis of what he has seen previously but then again, this man also treated his wounds so well just now so maybe he is telling the truth. Who knows? But Taehyung decides not to question him further because he does not want to get into any kind of trouble right now.

"Okay, I get it. Do you... Do you know where Jungkook is?"

"He went to make a phone call. Must've walked a little because getting a good signal in the woods isn't exactly easy." Seokjin says and Taehyung agrees with that.

------------------------

"Hyung! Finally! The network here sucks. I've been trying to contact you since forever." Jungkook says as relief washes over him. He was really annoyed by the poor connection he was getting. He even walked a kilometre or two away from his car just to get some proper network.

"Okay, I'm glad you're able to connect with me now. Remind me to get everyone a satellite phone or something." Namjoon says from the other side of the phone.

"Will do."

"Cool. So what did you want to talk about that couldn't wait?"

"Seriously, hyung? You're asking me this?"

"I'm seriously asking you this." Namjoom replies, making the younger roll his eyes.

"Okay, hyung just tell me who was behind all this?" Jungkook asks. He cannot wait to know anymore. The curiosity and agitation is killing him.

"Well, it's... How's that boy who was with you, by the way?" The older decides to annoy the younger a little more.

"For fuck's sake, hyung, if you-"

"Okay, okay. Listen to me and listen very carefully. I wasn't expecting them to be behind all this but I got to know that this car, which was used for following you guys, was stolen two days ago and the men we caught today have been in Korea with fake identities." Namjoon says. Jungkook's eyebrows raise as multiple thoughts start running through his mind.

"So who are they actually?"

"Kyoichi Shido and Taiga Samejima." Comes the older's reply.

"And who are they? Their names sound Japanese."

"Indeed they are. They work for the Yakuza."
