His head felt light compared to the heavy pain on your chest. It was now the 13 time you woke in that same position along with his cinnamon shampoo sense all over your sheets.
The sensation of a bullet between your eyes was been your alarm clock for the past 12 days and Jungkook’s crying eyes screaming to surrender following your fall is the last memory you have of the day before.
You thought to yourself everyday what could possibly be wrong. What position it’s wrong, or is it just hopeless. But something kept you from giving up. Jungkook’s eyes give you more than the feeling of hope. They give you company, something you never had.
You brushed the strands of his hair away from his forehead so you could see his angelic face. He seems calm for a boy like him. Always talking and never listening. Maybe that was the issue. You were sure time will bring him more comprehension to listen to your instructions and less to his impulsive actions, but time wouldn’t stop this forever loop and so wouldn’t you.
You can say you are a lucky person. You have a great job in a coffee shop, a house far from the craziness of the city and you found someone you see yourself marry.
But April 12 was not your lucky day, at all. 12 days ago, or today, you decided to put everything on a line so you could run from your safe home. You made a plan to robber a not very movement bank.
You told Jungkook and he didn’t seem so shocked as you thought he would be. You both worked every detail of the plan and then you executed but something missed from all your “what if this happens” or “all the plans bs”. After 1 hour of perfection the cops were called and they killed you in the most aggressive and raw away possible.
For those 3 seconds before the bullet hit your head, you thought about Jungkook and his future.
After the last seconds of your life, you blinked and there you were. In the same bed than before. You checked your phone.
April 12th.
So you got up and did all of it again. You woke Jungkook and he shouted a fuck right away and you knew you weren’t alone on this.
You and Jungkook did all the same as the day before and nothing worked. You end up always getting killed in the same way so you were forced to accept your fate and work your way out.
You talked about everything you could remember. Times, movements, things that went wrong, what could work this time and a way to not die.
Again there you were. 12 days after and one more robbery had to be done.
His breathe started to get heavier and there you knew.
Jungkook tries to understand where the gun shots come from and then he runs to first floor to see you standing in front of 4 police guards shooting the air one time. You falling to the ground at the second gunshot, he takes his gun from his back and places it against the side of his head, then he pulls the trigger and-
“FUCK” Jungkook jumped from the bed making you lose his warmness. You quickly got up and hugged him from behind feeling him trembling more than usual. A simple motion from Jungkook and you already felt in panic.
“It’s fine baby, it’s another day now, I’m here baby” you couldn’t handle it anymore but Jungkook was your strength, your start, your one and only, and now, your entire day and night. It was him every time and everyday. It took a couple of minutes for Jungkook to calm down and look you in eyes. “What are we going to do, gguk?”
“I don’t know babygirl, but we’ll find a way.”
And that gave you the strength for your legs to work correctly, your hands not to tremble and your head not to fail you.
The last 12 days have been the same. You wake up around 1:36:29 p.m. and Jungkook or wakes 27 seconds later or 45 minutes and 57 seconds later.
Those 27 seconds put Jungkook in a choice between trying harder or giving up. All this without you. Because in that moment, you already have a perfect shot in between your eyes. Has the days pass, Jungkook started to give up more often because he feels lost without you. In a life without you, Jungkook anticipates the death that comes 27 seconds later.
With 45 minutes and 57 seconds, Jungkook runs through the streets of his hometown trying to escape the hands of the police but nothing makes him free. Without you, freedom isn’t free.
You’ve been planning the robbery for 1 week now but those 12 days you never expected to have, have given you the future. You knew what time the clients would enter, what for and what time they would leave the chosen bank but still, you would get caught every single time.
After calming Jungkook down, you start the day by reviewing the plan against Jungkook’s chest while seating in your cold ground.
“What’s the weather for today?” Jungkook hugs your waist and leaves little kisses on your shoulder while you search the weather in your old computer.
“The same as usual. Traffic too. The same fuckin day.”
“Hey, hey, baby” you turned your body following his hands to your face, to face him and meet his black eyes. “We will be fine, i promise you okay? I’ll get you out of this, I promise.” Your face drops to his shoulder and he rubs your neck trying to comfort you and your fears. “I have an idea but you are not going to like it.”
“Shot, I have nothing to lose.”
“Let’s stick to plan but exactly at 4:31 and” he looks closely at his watch as you slowly lift up your head “21 seconds, you can take the car th-“
“No.”
You got up but Jungkook catches you in one move and honestly, you didn’t want to leave, Jungkook’s arms felt too good and too right for you to lose them.
“Baby, I would come to you as soon as I could and then we would run to whatever country you want.” You were again against Jungkook’s chest and you could feel his pulse. Always calming and relaxing.
“Whatever country I want?” Your eyes light up to the sound of your dream on your mind and Jungkook felt the luckiest man in the world for being to call you his.
“Whatever you want.”
“Still it’s a no gguk.”
It makes you alive in the most deadly way ever. Feeling like you may lose him to a stupid robbery but that you need.
You and Jungkook lost 10 minutes arguing about a quick escape you weren’t accepting, but as much stubborn as you were, Jungkook can sometimes be worse than you, so, only after promising you that he would buy you the biggest house near the beach and cuddle with you for the rest of your life, you accept his offer.
3:56:32
You drove to the center of Jungkook’s least favorite city and waited there, holding hands with him and jamming to some pop song on the radio, for a pregnant women with black hair and a trolley to close the door of the bank. Looking at the streets, you see more than a normal city.
You met Jungkook in that same town. It was raining, you were alone in your uncomfortable heels and no cabs were around.
“Need a ride home baby?” You met his gaze when you looked at your right. It was dark but fuck, you swear to god you saw an angel. Black hair, black eyes, and all black outfit, but you still see him was the purest angel.
“Oh-h no, I’m fine, thank you. I’m just going to walk.” You started to walk in the opposite way but he followed you. You aren’t afraid of death. You are afraid of dying being a piece of shit to the world and so, for every second Jungkook followed you down the streets, you thought about how not ready you were to die.
“I’m not making uncomfortable, right?”
“You are. Like, a lot.”
“Thank god, you said it. I’m already tired of walking.”
And he left. You were again alone, 5 km away from your house. 10 seconds before you were scared of dying and now you are searching for your earphones and plugging them on your phone so the walk would be less lonely.
You were walking peacefully for a couple of minutes but, as much lucky you can be sometimes, life, once in a while, tries to scare you along the way or more specifically to teach to look at both sides before crossing the road so, while listening to the loudest song on your playlist, you were almost hit by a black motorbike, and guess who was driving? Yes, the man of your life. The one and only Jeon Jungkook. You fell to the ground and your hand burned in pain.
“WHAT THE FUCK, are you okay?!” The all in black guy jumped from the bike and ran to you.
“Yeah-yeah, I’m fine, fuck,” Jungkook placed a hand on your back and other around your legs, and lift you up.”I just want to get home, just sit me in the bench please.” Your hand was bleeding but the pain would start to go away. Jungkook walked the opposite way of the bench but you were already ready to pass out due to the blood on your skirt.”Jungkook, no, not there, the bench.”
“No, I’m taking you home.”
And without noticing, Jungkook cured your wound with some first aids he had left on his motorbike and you were now speeding through the streets of your now second hometown.
3:59:01
The streets were clear and Jungkook made the first move to get out of the car. You followed him, after turning off the radio. He made his way to you, grabbed your hand and helped you get out of the car.
“It will be easy. Stick to the plan and, in 1 hour, we will be heading to whatever country you want baby.” He kissed you and you both walked to the bank.
You were in a constant déjà vu. You knew every look the clients would do. How much time would take to the police arrive. Which TV station would arrive first. Which child would cry first. But Jungkook? He was never the same. Always unpredictable and mysterious.
This building was huge from the out and inside, and for as much days you spent there, it always looks intimidating.
Jungkook opened the glass door for you, you stepped inside the building and the first thing you do is search for your earphones, plug them in your phone and then connect your phone to the bank’s network.
YOU ARE NOW LISTENING TO PARTNERS IN CRIME FROM THE STROKES
The whole building was now connected to your phone. Every employee, every client, and those you pass in front of this place would hear your favorite song of all time. You made sure to leave it in max volume so everyone could hear it.
You never understood why massive buildings as a bank would all be connected to the same network. You lost the interest in hacking these type of services, because they give an open window.
Everyone around you felt confused and some looked like hurting what you found quite offensive.
You and Jungkook waited about 10 seconds of those you decide to leave but no one did.
Time is underrated. Without time, in every circumstance, we are nothing. Look at you. You are living in a loop of time. If you are forced to live here, you are nothing but if you do nothing with the time they give you, you are nothing as well.
No one moved from their spot, so you grabbed your gun from your back and shot the first camera you could find. Jungkook did the same in the opposite side and exactly 7 people ran away while the other 21 lay on the ground. You ran to the door and locked it with 8 handcuffs.
Why? It will be easy for the hostages to get away and it will definitely be a distraction for the police.
“All done here.” You turn around and you don’t find Jungkook. He was probably cutting some wires behind the balcony, but you were so scared of losing him that seconds were days.
Fuck. Don’t freak out. Play it cool y/n.
You moved to the center of the now messy bank and look through the scared crowd. You shot the air for no reason.
“Hello everyone! My name is two.” You do the peace sign and do a quick round so everyone could see and hear it. “Yes, the number two. I won’t take long, I promise. In 1 hours you will all be at your house with family, friends or even alone. I’m, for sure, not here to hurt you or give a traumatic experience. Just don’t do stupid things and we will be out of here as soon as possible. Ok?”
“ok!” you jump a little from Jungkook’s voice on your ear and you curse at yourself for always getting scared. He always does it but in different situations and you are sick of it. (not really but ://) You push him a little and he placed a transparent card on your hand. You start to walk to the stairs while hearing Jungkook give some instructions to the hostages.
4:00:05
You reached the computer room. It was full of people writing in their own computer while discussing the reason of the loud music. Everyone looked so confused that it was quite funny, you would say. And yes, the music was on repeat.
Computer 19, line 23
You reach “your” quite messy desk that belong to the secretary from downstairs and took from your bag an usb pen and some codes so you could start working.
On the other side, Jungkook leaned 7 hostages to the cafeteria, and other 7 to the waiting room.
In 35 minutes, the police would arrive and Jungkook tries to understand where the leak is. For 35 minutes Jungkook walked from room to room but nothing seemed off. Everything looked too perfect for it to fail something this important as someone secretly calling the police.
4:27:09
TRANSITION at 45%
You successfully broke the network and robbed each and every person on that building with only some codes and clicks. You were 4 minutes away from getting away with nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Boo: 44%?
You: 45% ahaha
Boo: how can you laugh? We are robbing a bank
You: your idea asshole
Boo: I CAN’T FIND THAT ONE MEME YOU ARE TELLING ME TO FUCK OFF
Boo: but baby
Boo: can you go now? I will handle that
Boo: i promise
You fear being without Jungkook. You fear losing him to this. You fear a world where Jungkook is not in it. And he fears it too.
You: i’m coming
You looked at the screen of the computer and estimate 10 minutes for it to be done. So you got down stairs, grabbed your stuff and went to find Jungkook.
You found him in the waiting room with a 65 old lady who got very but very anxious for the 13 time.
You placed your hand on his shoulder to get his attention. There was no need for words. You left a kiss on his head and left for the back door.
You found this black car with the engine on and you took no time to get in.
4:35:07
Jungkook was now alone trying to control 21 people, all at the same time when he hears the first sirens. 3 more minutes, the transition will be completed and he will be out of there.
Jungkook got it all covered. The hostages were calm and thankfully patient, the police wasn’t very close and the love of his life was safe.
Boo: is everything fine there?
You: yup, everythings fine
Well, fine wasn’t the right word to describe it. Everything was really bad. You are now, not out the country but in the back seat of the car. Both of the exits were closed with “temporary fuckin fence”. Of course you could just destroy them but everyone would notice and you couldn’t just give that way. So you got in the building again.
Jungkook got everything covered. Everything less you. And that was it. You ran to the stairs and picked the usb pen after confirming the transition. You got down and found Jungkook looking straight at you.
“WHAT THE FUCK Y/N?”
“Baby, both exits are fuckin closed, what could I do?” you sat on the stairs and stared at Jungkook thinking and thinking and thinking.
“Go back to the car, I’ll find a way.” You got up to him but he didn’t notice.
“I won’t Jungkook, I’m staying.”
“Y/n can’t you do something I tell you one fucking time?”
And so you did. You ran to the back door.
You ran to the fucking back door that you left unlocked.
You ran to the fucking back door that you left unlocked which let the police enter and shot you right in the middle of your eyes.
For the fuckin 13 time.
14:07:51
And there you were. Again on your bed. You looked at your phone. 12th April.
No longer with Jungkook in your chest but now hugging you from behind.
27 seconds passed and nothing happened. You guessed Jungkook would run the streets and escape.
You felt sleepier than any of the other days.
You felt deader than before. You just wanted to sleep all day and forget everything. So you did.
17:28:18
You woke up to the sound of your dog scratching your door.
“Sum-sumo stop that” you rolled over the bed and looked at your clock. “Fuck, what?” You slept a way too much but in the worst case, tomorrow you will just sleep even more. Your eyes widened to no sign of Jungkook at your side. You got off the bed and searched the all bedroom. No sign of his phone, clothes and neither that familiar cinnamon sense.
You searched every part of your house and nothing. You called and messaged him, and nothing would come from that.
He wouldn’t do the robbery alone right? He wouldn’t risk it all like that. Of course not. He wouldn’t.
The worst part of waiting for him was the certainty that he was capable of doing it alone without asking permission or even a warning.
So you turned on the TV.
The first channel talked about an Australia Zoo, the second about Trump, the third about the number of deaths in crime, the fourth a robbery on-
The robber was shot on the chest inside the bank while trying to remove an USB pen from the computer’s room. The assaulter was-
The rest of the night was cold. For 13 days, you were finally living something new but that you wish you would never lived. Living without Jungkook.
