Hearing the man's words, Yoongi looked to his side, where Taehyung was clutching his head in pain. Yoongi ran over to Taehyung and examined his condition. Taehyung's eyes were already unfocused, and he looked as if he might pounce on Yoongi at any moment.
“Kim Taehyung, wake up!!”
While Yoongi was distracted by Taehyung, the man used his powers to combine iron and hurled it at Yoongi. Yoongi, who was only checking Taehyung's condition, didn't feel the iron and was forced to take the hit.

The man was grinning eerily at the two of them, and when Seokjin, who had teleported Seol-i home after finishing her treatment, returned, he saw a spectacle. Taehyung was clutching his head in pain, and Yoongi was bleeding from a metal wound.
"hey…!!"
But even after witnessing the scene, Seokjin couldn't easily approach. Seeing Taehyung and Yoongi, both with their powerful offensive abilities, suffer like that, it was clear that Seokjin, with his strong healing abilities, would suffer. However, he couldn't just stand by and watch Taehyung and Yoongi suffer, so he quickly approached them and teleported to Seol's house.
Seol-i, who had been unconscious for quite some time, regained consciousness after receiving treatment from Seok-jin. As soon as she did, Tae-hyung, Yoon-gi, and Seok-jin returned. Yoon-gi was bleeding from his mouth, and Tae-hyung was crying and complaining of a headache. Of them all, only Seok-jin was normal.
“Why, why is it like this…?!”
“Seol, are you… okay?”
“I’m fine… but why are these two like this…!”
“…What happened earlier?”
“What did he do when we were away?”
“I don’t… remember.”
“Obviously, I was just bored and went out and got lost… but then that guy realized I was human.”
“I suddenly lost consciousness when I realized I was human…”
“…I’ve decided, I’ve decided.”
“What?”
“No, I’m going to treat them, so can you just wait a moment?”
"yes…"
Seokjin, not yet capable of treating mental health issues, treated only Yoongi and gave Taehyung tranquilizers. As time passed, Taehyung gradually recovered, and only then did the four of them gather together and begin to talk.
“Kim Taehyung, why are you acting like that all of a sudden?”
“…I remembered my parents dying again.”
“And… the sight of Seol-i dying.”
“What about you, Min Yoongi?”
“I got hit by a bullet while watching Kim Taehyung.”
“He’s a talented metalist.”
“… I’m sorry, I went out for no reason… and everyone got hurt.”
“Seol, it was wrong of you to leave, but I don’t think you need to feel sorry.”
“Anyway, that guy must have been after me all along, from a long time ago…”
“It was bound to happen someday, and I’m sorry I put you in danger too.”
“You don’t have to feel sorry for either of us, so let’s stop here and make plans.”
“I plan to get revenge on that guy.”
