In the teacher's office, Daehyun, Taekwoon, me, and Jeongguk were seated. I still can't believe it. My mom... was Choice... and she had the same nullifying hormones as me... and she was a teacher at Hormone High School... but why did my grandmother hate Choice so much?
"Yeah.. Teacher Son Na-eun's daughter.. was ㅇㅇ.."
Daehyun still can't believe it, looking at me in a bewildered voice as he speaks. "Well... I can't tell if this is a dream or reality right now, but Mr. Daehyun, who just heard the story, must be even more confused."
"Then... our past story might be the story of my mother that ㅇㅇ was trying to find out."
".... Please... tell me what kind of person my mother was... and what happened while she was at this school. Teacher."
At my words, Daehyun briefly looks at Taekwoon, then sighs as if he can't help it and looks at me.
"Okay, I'll tell you what you're curious about. It's probably going to be a long story."
Daehyun's eyes deepen as if lost in memories.
Daehyun and Taekwoon were students at Hormone High School. Myungsoo, now Dark Choice, was also a student at Hormone High School at the time, and their homeroom teacher was Son Naeun, who is now ㅇㅇ's mother.
'Hey, Kim Myung-soo, what are you staring at so absentmindedly?'
In response to Daehyun's question, Myeongsu looks at the sky through the window and then turns his gaze towards Daehyun.
'I just... don't really remember what the world outside this building looked like...'
"Hey, these days, do you really have to go outside to see anything? I knew this would happen, so I prepared."
As if anticipating Myeongsu's actions, Daehyun takes out a book from his bag.
'I brought it because I thought of you on my way home this time!'
Myung-soo was under surveillance and restrictions at school due to his killer hormones, so he was forbidden from going outside. Thinking of him, Dae-hyun brought a photo album filled with beautiful landscapes. Dae-hyun smiled like a puppy and opened the book in front of Myung-soo. Myung-soo's eyes focused on the beautiful blue sky, like the painting in the photo album Dae-hyun had opened.
'The outside world... may be more beautiful than I imagined.'
A rare smile appeared on Myeongsu's lips. Until then, Daehyun had thought it was a good thing he had shown Myeongsu the photo album. He didn't even realize that the photo album had ignited a spark in Myeongsu's desire to skip school.
'Ugh-'
'Kim Myung-soo. Are you okay?'
Myeongsu's condition was more serious than expected. Hormone suppression injections had barely suppressed his hormonal urges, but now even those weren't working, leading to unpredictable outbursts of violence. The side effects of overdosing on the hormones caused his vitality to deteriorate, and he even vomited blood.
Jeong Taek-woon...
'huh..'
Myungsoo's eyes, blood staining his mouth, were powerless as he looked at Taekwoon. His face was weary of everything that had happened to him. Taekwoon, watching this, felt his heart ache at the sight of Myungsoo. As a fellow Choice, as a friend, he felt pathetic for not being able to do anything.
'I... want to go out.'
'Kim Myung-soo.'
"Before I breathe... I want to see. I want to take in the high sky and the vast sea, all with my eyes, and feel them with my body. With a body free from restraint... feeling what freedom is."
'Just hold on a little longer... Kim Myung-soo. When I grow up a little more... Then... I'll definitely find a way to make you better... So until then...'
Myeongsu, who seemed to sense Taekwoon's worry in his voice, forced a smile at him.
"Don't worry. I'll try to stay quiet until then."
Because Choice Class consisted of only three members: Taekwoon, Daehyun, and Myeongsu, their bond was stronger than anyone else's. So much so that the thought of one of them disappearing would be a terrifyingly intense fear.
'Ugh...everyone...is gonna die...'
'Ugh.. Kim Myung..ㅅ.'
'I will kill everything that binds me... Die!!'
Myungsoo's irrational behaviors became more frequent. As this continued, wounds began to appear on Taekwoon and Daehyun's bodies. Thanks to Taekwoon and Daehyun's nullifying hormones, Myungsoo regained consciousness before the catastrophic event. Ironically, it was Kim Myungsoo who suffered the most from the growing number of wounds.
'Again... am I... like this..?'
'It's nothing like this - it's not even a wound.'
'....'
As the days passed, Myeongsu grew darker. Guilt over his past actions and fear of what he might do in the future were likely the biggest factors in his mood. And then... something happened that broke Myeongsu's sense of reason, which had been quiet for a while.
'Ah ...
The exact cause is still unknown, but shortly after going to see teacher Son Na-eun in the principal's office, Myung-soo stormed out of the school building with a face filled with despair and anger. Taek-woon, Dae-hyun, and the people related to Choice all tried to stop Myung-soo from going wild, but it seemed that Myung-soo's outburst wasn't just due to hormones, and his rage was not easily quelled. Myung-soo left the school and disappeared somewhere. Everyone in the school was mobilized to search for Myung-soo, but he was nowhere to be found.
Not long after Myeongsu disappeared, Teacher Son Naeun also vanished. Taekwoon, who seemed to have known about her disappearance even before the news broke, was in a bad mood. When Daehyun asked why, Taekwoon simply replied that Teacher Son Naeun was a traitor.
'Teacher... I'm researching the nullifying hormone...'
Taekwoon went to the teachers' office to ask a simple question, only to find teacher Son Na-eun and a tanned man there. From the first glance, the man had a bad vibe.
Taekwoon...
'Then let's go now. With two nullification choices, my hands are itching to grab them.'
The man looked at me with a beastly gaze, as if he'd spotted prey. He then grabbed Teacher Naeun's hand and tried to drag her away. Reflexively, I grabbed her other hand. Teacher Naeun, watching me, spoke with tearful eyes.
'I'm sorry... Taekwoon...'
'..Teacher... No.. That person is like Dark Choice... It's not like that..' Taekwoon had heard before. That there was someone with a hormone that could recognize Choice's abilities among Dark Choice.
"Something like Dark Choice... and Teacher Son Na-eun... can't possibly have anything to do with it..."
After Myeongsu met teacher Son Naeun, he started to act wildly... and it wasn't because of the teacher either...
'I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... Taekwoon...'
"That's all for the greetings. I don't particularly like the sight of tears."
The strength drains from Taekwoon's grasp as he holds Naeun Son's hand. Hakyeon, a man with dark skin who had been watching, inhales the liquid from the vial he was holding. Soon after, Hakyeon and Naeun vanish.
'This can't be... possible... Teacher... How much... we trusted... We... Aaaah!!!!!'
Taekwoon, who was watching Naeun disappear, collapses to the floor and lets out a sound close to a scream.
"And not long after the better teacher disappeared, I heard that Myeongsu had also joined forces with the Dark Choices."
My mother... had a connection to... Dark Choice...? So that black-haired man I met here on my first day... was also dragged into Dark Choice by my mother? That couldn't be... How could my mother do that...
"rather...."
"..."
"I shouldn't have known... I should have just... listened to my grandmother, who said that we should just live together in Amigol... That my mother... my mother... was the dark choice... for part-time work..."
I couldn't muster the courage to raise my head and look at Daehyun and Taekwoon. So I immediately ran away from that place. Before I knew it, big tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why are you crying? Why am I crying? I don't have the right to cry.
"Huh? Yeah!"
I was just walking down the hallway when I bumped into someone I wish I'd never met. I don't want to worry her... If she sees me crying... She'll worry again... Taehyung oppa sees me crying and approaches me with a surprised look on his face.
"Why are you crying..?"
I could hear Taehyung's worried voice, but I didn't have the courage to look up and face him, so I kept my head down. Right now, I don't even have the right to cry... I'm just the daughter of a criminal.
"Why are you crying?" you ask.
Taehyung's voice lowered. What should I say? I finally found out about my mother, and what I found out was that her past was a dark choice. Maybe the reason Myeongsu fell into a dark choice was because of my mother. Is that the way I should say it...?
"yes!"
Taehyung's hands grabbed my shoulders. Tears flowed uncontrollably, falling to the hallway floor.
"Brother... My mother... My mother... Actually, she might be a really bad person..."
I'd like to explain in detail, but I don't know what to say yet...
"Who said that?"
"...Yes..?"
"Who said that? That my mother-in-law is a bad person."
"That's... rather than saying he's a bad person..."
"Don't trust what's not true. Trust the people who are important to you."
Taehyung's words gave me such strength and comfort in that moment, that before I knew it, the sadness I'd felt for a brief moment overcame itself and I burst into tears. Taehyung embraced me with a gentle hand and patted my back. In his warm embrace, I thought, "It hasn't been revealed yet that my mother is in cahoots with Dark Choice. So let's trust her until the very end."
Jeongguk immediately followed ㅇㅇ, who ran out of the teachers' office.
"He's already a guy with a glass mentality."
Jungkook feels all his nerves focused on ㅇㅇ, thinking that the story that Daehyun and Taekwoon had told him today must have been a huge shock to her, and he quickens his pace. The moment he turns the corner in the hallway, Jungkook sees ㅇㅇ being held in Taehyung's arms. Jungkook doesn't stop walking towards ㅇㅇ. Taehyung, who was comforting ㅇㅇ and is approaching where he and ㅇㅇ are, makes eye contact with Jungkook and gives him a silent signal. At that moment, Jungkook's unfocused eyes return to focus and he stops in his tracks.
It was strange. Jungkook knew that Taehyung really liked ㅇㅇ, but he didn't know why he suddenly cared about her... why she kept bothering him. Taehyung's gaze, watching Jungkook standing still in the hallway, unable to leave easily, instinctively sensed something and sharpened. The moment he met Taehyung's gaze, Jungkook's feet, which had been frozen, began to move again.
"Hey, Pumpkin. Let's go."
Jungkook, who reached where ㅇㅇ and Taehyung were, grabs ㅇㅇ's wrist from Taehyung's arms and pulls it away. ㅇㅇ's bewildered eyes turn to Jungkook.
"You know I need you more than Taehyung. So come with me."
"don't go."
Taehyung grabs Jungkook's other hand. A strange war of nerves unfolds between Taehyung and Jungkook as they stand facing each other.
So... what is this...? Even among the Choice class, Jungkook and Taehyung were clearly the ones who showed a special camaraderie... Why do sparks seem to be flying like this..? Did I do something wrong?
"Taehyung oppa, I don't know if Jungkook's dark hormones will kick in."
I thought Jungkook needed me more urgently, so I tried to soothe Taehyung, but Taehyung's hand on me only became more oppressive. Uh... I can't help it. Taehyung is especially jealous, so I'll just stay with him for a bit, then check his reaction and go to Jungkook...
"Jungkook- right now, talk to Taehyung oppa..."
"Let's go. Right now."
Even Jeongguk, who would normally back down, showed no signs of backing down today, but instead, he was even more determined. Wait a minute. Why are you all like this? What do you want me to do? Because of Jeongguk and Taehyung, who were up all night engaging in a war of nerves, the story of my mother's past that had been lingering in my head flew away to Andromeda. As I was pondering how to resolve this situation, the door to the Choice Class opened with a creaking sound.
"Huh? Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! What are you doing with ㅇㅇ between you?"
Jimin, who could be the oil in this situation, runs to me and hugs me tightly.
"Hey.. Jimin oppa, what's the situation right now.."
"Kim Taehyung! Handjob? Jeon Jungkook, you too!?"
"Park Jimin, get off? Huh?"
"Pumpkin. Let's go!"
Be quiet... Be quiet... Everyone...
"Get off me!!!!!!!!"
I simultaneously shook off three men. Taehyung, Jimin, and Jungkook fell away, dumbfounded by my unexpected and powerful actions. No, if I look closely, I look like some kind of bundle. These people!
"Everyone! You think I'm some kind of object! Listen carefully! I don't belong to anyone! I'm not an object! I'm a person with a will and choices! That's why I'm alone! I'll be alone! So don't touch me!"
As I entered the classroom with a loud thump, the three men who had been staring blankly at me glared at each other.
"Park Jimin, you suddenly popped out and that's why ㅇㅇ got mad."
"Oh my~ You and Jeon Jungkook didn't make ㅇㅇ angry? How much did you bother them that the gentle and kind ㅇㅇ yelled like that?"
Taehyung and Jimin look at each other again and growl, and Jungkook, who was watching them, sighs deeply as if he feels sorry for engaging in a war of nerves with them.
"Erai- I don't know! I'm going to ㅇㅇ!"
When Taehyung and Jimin bicker, Jimin runs off into the classroom like a flying squirrel, leaving behind a strange tension between Taehyung and Jungkook.
"jungkook jeon."
"why."
"Can I just pretend nothing happened today? Can I just think of it as a side effect of your hormones?"
At Taehyung's words, Jeongguk answers without a moment's hesitation, looking at Taehyung.
"No, don't think of it as something that never happened or as a side effect. It's neither."
Taehyung's face hardens at Jeongguk's words.
"Don't be so hard-faced, hyung. You know that too. I don't have much time left. And I'm not as cute or affectionate as you, hyung."
Taehyung's eyes shake with anxiety at Jeongguk's words.
"Jeon Jungkook. I told you not to say things like that..."
"That's why... everything isn't allowed to me. I just want to be able to do whatever I want with my mind."
"...."
"So don't worry about me and do whatever you want, hyung. I won't worry about you either and I'll do whatever I want."
Jungkook speaks firmly to Taehyung and then storms off into the classroom. Taehyung, who had been listening quietly to Jungkook, now has an expression of indecipherable sadness and anger.
"It's been a while. Here too."
While Hakyeon is exploring Hormone High School, he spots Yongguk and Wonshik, who are watching over the school. Both Hakyeon and Myeongsu are wearing Hormone High School uniforms, and have also consumed a neutralizing potion, rendering Yongguk and Wonshik's hormones ineffective.
"I always feel this way, but the supplements at Hormone High School are always vulnerable to hormones that nullify it."
Hakyeon says this as he enters the school gate as if he is insignificant, but Myeongsu just follows Hakyeon without any particular reaction.
"Kim Myung-soo, wake up. This isn't something I should be doing, it's something you should be doing."
Myeongsu frowns slightly at Hakyeon's words and opens his tightly shut mouth as he looks at Hakyeon.
“Have you ever thought that you talk too much?”
Myeongsu walks past Hakyeon, who is left speechless with his mouth open at Myeongsu's words. Hakyeon, who has been watching Myeongsu, shouts at him in astonishment.
"Hey! Where did I say I talk too much! Huh? Just give me three reasons... No. Give me three hundred! Three hundred!"
Here too... I get the feeling that something is a bit shabby...
It's confusing. It's confusing. Listening to Teacher Daehyun and Teacher Taekwoon's stories, I think our mother had a close relationship with the Dark Choice, and Myeongsu can also think that his mother intentionally dragged him into the Dark Choice. However... Jungkook's story keeps bothering me. The story about our mother making her own hormone potion... Why would our mother go to the trouble of making a potion with her own hormones? Even though it would consume her own life. There must be a reason for it.
"ㅇㅇㅇ, what are you thinking about?"
Yunki oppa stares at me, deep in thought, and asks, "This story. It's best to keep your mouth shut until you're sure, right...?"
"I just have something to think about."
"Meow- kyaoo-"
"Amiya- why is Ami so sharp?"
Ami suddenly runs to the front door of the classroom and shows her sharp teeth as if she is wary of someone. Namjoon runs to Ami and tries to hold her in his arms, but Ami continues to scratch the front door of the classroom with her front paws.
"Why is he really like this?"
"Is there something in front of the door?"
Jungkook, who had been observing Ami's behavior, spoke to Namjoon, who opened the front door of the classroom. Opening the door revealed an empty hallway. However, Ami, more sensitive than before, began to cry and clawed at the hallway.
"It seems like there's nothing..?"
As ARMY's strange behavior continued, Namjoon went out into the hallway and turned his head to the right.
"Wow, what a sharp cat! How annoying."
Hakyeon, with dark skin, catches Namjoon's eye and stretches out his long arm towards Namjoon, hitting the back of his neck and knocking him unconscious.
"namjun kim!!"
Yoongi, who was watching the scene, runs to Namjoon who has fallen while calling his name, and Hakyeon passes by Yoongi and enters the classroom.
"you..?"
Taehyung's eyes trembled anxiously as he saw Hakyeon. Hakyeon, who seemed to remember something upon seeing Taehyung, smiled happily at Taehyung and said.
"Oh, it's been a while. You're that guy with those weird hormones back then. He was so confident in his abilities that he couldn't even tell the difference between shit and soybean paste."
"...Shut up. If you killed Seonwoo, that's enough. Why did you come here again?"
"Seonwoo... Was the name of the nullifying hormone choice back then Sunwoo? Then you shouldn't have made Cha Seonwoo die back then. Then you wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble to find another choice with nullifying hormones."
You came here looking for a choice with nullifying hormones...? Wait, then what he's after is...
"Don't even think about touching ㅇㅇ."
"Oh my gosh- why are you trusting in the power of those crappy hormones and attacking me again?"
At Hakyeon's words, Taehyung automatically blocks my path. Hakyeon smiles, seemingly amused, as he watches Taehyung block his path and glare at him.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not the one dealing with you today. Kim Myung-soo. Hurry up, hurry up. Let's finish this quickly and go back. I'm pretty tired."
Another man enters the classroom at the school's request. Kim Myung-soo. That man... I saw him on my first day at Hormone High School.
"Isn't it strange that you don't get tired when you keep mumbling like that?"
"What, Emma? When did I ever stop mumbling? People hearing it for the first time will misunderstand!"
"What? Let's say that's true."
"hey!"
"Let's finish this quickly and go. If that's what you want, just keep your mouth shut."
At Myeongsu's words, unlike the dark image from earlier, Hakyeon, who had been chattering loudly, clenched his jaw as if he had no choice. As Myeongsu approached me step by step, Jeongguk blocked his path.
“Seokjin hyung, call the teachers.”
"Ah... I see!"
As Seokjin tries to run out of the classroom at Jeongguk's words, Hakyeon quickly moves in front of Seokjin and blocks him.
"Ah- That can't be. It'll be a bit of a hassle for us when those humans come."
While Seokjin is hesitating on how to act at Hakyeon's words, Hoseok grabs Hakyeon's body from behind while Hakyeon is concentrating on Seokjin.
"Ugh- what is this!"
"Kim Seokjin! Go quickly!!"
"Okay! Please - Jung Ho-seok."
While Hoseok held onto Hakyeon, Seokjin quickly left the classroom, and Yoongi, carrying Namjoon on his back, followed him. Hakyeon, who had been watching them, sharpened his gaze, gritting his teeth as he roughly pulled Hoseok away from his body.
"evil!"
Because of that, Hoseok is thrown against the classroom wall, and Hakyeon looks at him with eyes filled with anger, holding Hoseok's neck with both hands.
"Ugh.."
"You're making things difficult... Alright. Then I'll finish everything before those annoying humans come."
"Hoseok hyung!"
"Hoseok oppa!!"
As she was about to run to Hoseok, who was groaning with his face turning red as if he was having trouble breathing, a pure white object flew towards Hakyeon's hand, who was strangling Hoseok's neck.
"Meow- Kyaaaaak!"
A pure white cat..? Ami!
"Damn!!! What the heck. This annoying creature!!!!!!!"
"Haha..."
As Ami claws at Hakyeon's hand, Hakyeon's grip on Hoseok's neck loosens, and Hoseok collapses to the floor, gasping for breath. Hakyeon quickly runs after Ami, who is running out of the classroom, his eyes rolling back in his head.
"What a stupid guy..."
Myeongsu, who was watching the scene, looked at the place where Hakyeon had disappeared with a pitiful look, then turned his gaze back to me, who was hidden behind Jeongguk and Taehyung.
"If you don't want to hurt anyone, you'd better follow along."
"If you don't want to get hurt, it would be better to just go back."
Jeongguk responds to Myeongsu's seemingly threatening words. Myeongsu chuckles at Jeongguk's actions, then hardens his expression and looks at Jeongguk.
"Yes. It would be an honor to die by my hand, even with the little life I have left."
In an instant, Myungsoo's gaze becomes sharp and intense, and he rushes towards Jeongguk. Jeongguk quickly dodges Myungsoo, but Myungsoo, instead of chasing him, runs towards Taehyung. Taehyung, noticing Myungsoo's unstable state, bites his finger, drawing blood. A few drops of crimson blood drip from Taehyung's fingertips. As I watched, a memory flashed through my mind of what Professor Daehyun had said about the precautions to take when administering hormone suppression injections.
Let me explain the situations that shorten the duration of hormone suppression injections. First, if the injections are abused. Second, because the hormone injections work on your own blood, excessive bleeding shortens their duration. Third, if the hormones momentarily become more potent than the injections.
Could it be... that Taehyung is trying to neutralize the effects of his hormone-suppressing injections? But Taehyung's hormones aren't aggressive hormones, are they?
"Stop. Stop all this."
Taehyung stops Myeongsu from running towards him and whispers an order into Myeongsu's ear, but Myeongsu looks at Taehyung as if he is dumbfounded.
"Why should I listen to you? This is just ridiculous."
At Myeongsu's unfazed reaction, Taehyung bites the wound on his finger, causing it to grow even larger. Myeongsu, who had been watching, grabs Taehyung's neck with a powerful force and slams him against the wall. Perhaps from the impact of hitting the wall, crimson blood drips from Taehyung's head.
"Taehyung oppa!!"
"Ugh..."
"I don't know what you're planning to do, but I think you'll die before you do it."
Myungsoo's grip on Taehyung's neck tightens with more force than before. Taehyung writhed in pain. Jeongguk, who was watching, tried to pry Myungsoo's hand away from Taehyung, but Myungsoo's killer hormones were kicking in, and Jeongguk couldn't handle it. "No... If this continues, Taehyung's brother will die... I... I have to do something."
"Stop it!! Stop it!!"
As I grabbed Myeongsu's arm, Myeongsu's sharp eyes returned to their original state, the strength in his hand that was holding Taehyung loosened, and Taehyung fell to the wall as if he was collapsing.
"Taehyung oppa. Oppa! Come to your senses! Look at the blood... the blood... Taehyung oppa!!"
Seongyeol's voice suddenly rings in Myeongsu's ear as he watches me holding onto the fallen Taehyung and shouting with tears in his eyes.
"If you bring me Choice, who possesses the nullifying hormone, I will grant you freedom. You will no longer be bound. But if you fail to do so... remember that you will be trapped in an even darker hell."
Freedom... If he could just get that child, he could be free. The freedom he'd dreamed of his entire life... If not... he'd lose even this little life he had left. The moment these thoughts coalesced in Myeongsu's head, he came to me, grabbed my hand, and forced me to stand.
"Let go of this! Taehyung oppa! Taehyung oppa!! Open your eyes!!"
The moment Myungsoo grabbed my hand with such force, an indescribable rage welled up in Jeongguk's eyes as he watched. For Jeongguk, the very person he cared most for was in danger, perhaps blinding him. Unlike before, when he was pushed by Myungsoo, Jeongguk easily subdues Myungsoo's grip on him and pounces on him. Sitting on top of Myungsoo, Jeongguk begins to strangle him with both hands.
"Jeon Jungkook... No way."
Is the killer hormone kicking in..? No.. If Jungkook kills someone with his own hands.. he'll really fall into despair.
'I won't die. I won't die... so don't play with Park Jimin.'
'pumpkin.'
Jungkook is a kid who doesn't fit the word "murder" at all. I shouldn't let hormones blind me. Thinking I had to stop Jungkook, I wrapped my arms around his waist, just like I did when I first met Myungsoo at Hormone High School. Then, Jungkook, who came to his senses, discovered his own hand strangling Myungsoo's neck. He was so shocked that he pulled his hand away and his hand trembled slightly. Myungsoo, realizing Jungkook's unstable state, threw him aside and was about to run towards me when someone's body embraced me. And then...
"Stop attacking."
Taehyung's voice rings in my ears. Myungsoo listens to Taehyung's words with unfocused eyes as if he's possessed by Taehyung. What...? Myungsoo is moving just as Taehyung tells him..? It seems like it's not just Myungsoo who's being influenced, Jungkook is also looking at Taehyung with unfocused eyes as if he's possessed by Taehyung. Hatred and sadness entangled in Taehyung's eyes, who were looking at him with unfocused eyes.
"And then. Die."
Taehyung's resentful voice makes Myeongsu run away as if possessed. Perhaps because he has lost a lot of blood, Taehyung loses consciousness and collapses on the spot after saying those last words. Jungkook, perhaps under Taehyung's influence, begins to strangle his own neck with his own hands.
"Jeon Jungkook. Stop it!"
As I approached Jeongguk and grabbed his hand that was strangling his neck, Jeongguk seemed to stop for a moment, then looked at me with his eyes focused again and asked in an anxious voice.
"I... didn't kill anyone or anything... did I...?"
At Jeongguk's anxious voice, I smiled at him as if to say that it was okay.
"Of course, you idiot. You wouldn't kill someone."
Jungkook seemed relieved by my words, but then he seemed to lose strength and collapsed into my arms, leaning against me.
"thank god."
Jungkook, who thought everything was over, lost consciousness in a relaxed state. Just in case, he urgently checked his heartbeat. "Thump, thump," he heard it beating rapidly. "Thank goodness... Thank goodness... Really... Okay... Wait a minute... Now that I think about it...
"Taehyung oppa!"
I rushed to Taehyung, who was turning pale in fear. I grabbed his bloody hand, but it no longer held the warmth it once held.
