Jungkook snuggled into Seokjin's side, trying to find warmth in the cold night. They had finished at a restaurant with the other boys as a celebratory dinner for Jungkook joining the company and were currently walking back to their apartment.

Seokjin and Jungkook left earlier than others, wanting to spend some time witb each other. Seokjin slid his arm around Jungkook's shoulders, rubbing his arms as they took slow steps.

They chatted about random things, content with each other's company.

But of course that didn't last long when Seokjin noticed Jungkook's ears perking up
'What's wrong?'

'Someone's following us, I recognise them from the restaurant'
Jungkook muttered

Seokjin glanced back, turning around for a split second to see two men who were indeed at the dinner earlier. Seokjin remembered how suspicious they were being, as they had dinner and also paying wjen they got up to leave.

'I don't wanna to lead then to the apartment, walk to the convenience store a couple minutes from there'
Seokjin whispered, tugging Jungkook as they quickened their pace, the men did the same, their footsteps growing closer as they caught up.

Seokjin started sprinting down the path, his feet bounding on the pavement as he pulled Jungkook along.

Jungkook whipped his tail from side to side, regaining his balance as he followed Seokjin.

In a few seconds, Jungkook was in front of Seokjin and forcing him forward with almost no effort at all before turning around.

Seokjin narrowed his eyes, diving into a roll of stop as he looked at Jungkook.

Jungkook was in his panther form, his muscles tensing as he prepared to fight. Jungkook pounced on one of them, knocking something out fton his hand. Seokjin quickly grabbed the object, his eyes widening ejrn he saw the light from a building glint off a shiny dark metal.

Jungkook stopped because he heard a gun. Jungkook heard it click.

Seokjin glanced at Jungkook, watching as the panther took down two men.

Seokjin tried to move to help, but he couldn't, he was frozen in his spot.

That was until the other man brought out a knife.

That's when Seokjin ran towards them, barrelling into the man and causing him to fall over.

Seokjin was afraid he wasn't quick enough, which proved true when he realised the knife wasn't in the man's grip.

Seokjin spared Jungkook a look, wincing inwardly when he saw Jungkook, hunched over in his hunan form with his hand pressing on his shoulder.

Protruding from between his fingers was the silver blade.

Jungkook's mouth was gaped open, pained gasps slipping out fton his lips as he tried to gain his posture.

Jungkook's eyes flicked to the man struggling under Seokjin's hands, his gaze hard as Jungkook got up slowly, his feet making their way to them as Jungkook harshly lulled out the blade, the growing circle of blood staining the shirt he was wearing.

Jungkook glared at the man, a hint of satisfaction evident in his eyes when a terrified expression overcame the man attacking.

Seokjin stared, stunned as he watched Jungkook plunge the knife into the man's shoulder, twisting it and causing him unbearable pain.

The man immediately released Seokjin's grip, watching as both of men scrambled away.

Seokjin then switched his attention to Jungkook, quickly jumping to him when he saw Jungkook staggered back, his chest heaving as his hand shot to his shoulder, gripping it tightly.

Seokjin caught Jungkook, resting him between his legs and laying Jungkook's head on his chest while Seokjin leaned against the wall, running his hand through Jungkook's hair to calm him down.

'Everything is gonna be fine Jungkook, I promise just hang in there'
Seokjin murmured, his head resting on Jungkook's as he slid his arms around Jungkook's waist to support him.

Jungkook's tail wrapped around Seokjin's leg, squeezing his eyes shut as he let out soft mewls.

'Shhh'
Seokjin soothed

Seokjin pressed his lips onto top of Jungkook's head, giving him a light kiss as his hands fumbled around his jacket for his phone, shifting Jungkook off him slightly.

The action made Jungkook whimper, and Seokjin paused at the heartbreaking sound
'I'm sorry kitten, I just have to call the ambulance, then we can get you fixed up, alright?'

Jungkook raised his head and try to meet Seokjin's eyes.
'No hospitals, promise me Jin, no hospitals, no vets and no doctors'

'But-'

'No-promise me'
Jungkook growled

Seokjin let out a sigh, nodding hesitantly
'I promise'

Jungkook relaxed his breath somehow evening
'Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, did they?'

Seokjin shook his head, trying to remain calm as he answered
'They didn't, you punched them before they could'

Jungkook lips pulled up into a small smile
'Did I do good? Did I keep you safety Jinnie?'

Seokjin felt a sharp pain in his chest and he buried his face into Jungkook's shoulder

'You did, you did kitten, you kept me safe'
Seokjin grinned, talking to Jungkook as he tried to distract Jungkook from the faint pain he must be feeling from his shoulder.

'Jinnie?'
Jungkook muttered. Seokjin hummed, as Jungkook turned his head his nose brushing against Seokjin's neck as he rested there

'You're the best owner I've ever had. Thank you'

'You don't need to thank me, I was just doing what everyone should do'

'But they don't, you are the first owner I have ever had that treats me nice, you don't push me and you don't force me into sex, thank you hyung, thank you so much'

Seokjin's expression fell
'They force you.....oh my god how could-'

Jungkook pulled Seokjin in for a hug and he whispered
'They did force me into sex hyung but I never let them do anything wrong with me instead the beat me up but that's okay I have you with me now'

Seokjin tightened his hold on Jungkook as he spoke
'You always have me with you Kookie, I'm so sorry you had to go through that'

'It's not your fault, what matters is that you don't treat me like shit, I really do appreciate that'

Seokjin chuckled slightly
'Language kitten, don't swear'
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Foue men stumbled out of the restaurant, all laughing in joy. Namjoon took a breath, composing himself as he suggested

'Do you guys want to go to the club near Seokjin's apartment?'

'The dj qualla?'

Namjoon nodded
'Yes, that's the one. They have really good drinks there'

All of them nodded enthusiastically, starting the warm towards the bar. They all chatted happily, until Jimin spotted, his nose twitching while his ear perked.

They all glanced at Jimin, tilting their head in questioning.

'Taetae?'
Jimin said earning a hum from his owner

'I smell blood'

A/N- Uh huh-✋
