“Fire cannot hurt a dragon.” —Daenerys Stormborn, Game of Thrones.

  10 minutes earlier   The floor cracked the moment Yoongi stepped inside. Feeling the building shaking, he ran for cover just as the place started to blow up. Smoke and dust filled the air, and soon fire erupted. Yoongi hissed when his pants caught on fire. He looked around for anything to smother the flame but everything around him was also on fire. He then used his bare hands and smothered the flame until it was all gone. He got up on his feet and looked around for sign of life, surely Taehyung must have been around here somewhere. He ran further inside Eden, shouting Taehyung's name while trying to not breathe in too much. The building started shaking one more time, and not a moment later the upper floor got a blast, and then the next and the next. The air thinned and burning debris were falling left and right it was hard for someone as unskilled as Yoongi to stay out of harm's way. Just as he lost his way and the smoke finally got his head spinning, someone jumped on him and shielded him from a falling debris.    It was Namjoon.    "You okay?"   Yoongi nodded quickly. Namjoon was captivated by Yoongi's green eyes that were brighter than they should normally be that he forgot, for a moment, that they were in a grave situation. When Yoongi flinched at something falling next to them, only then that Namjoon got back to his sense. He took Yoongi by his hand and tried to find their way out.    "I don't understand," Yoongi said. "You put me into a e house and now you're helping me."   "It's a complicated story." Namjoon said while pushing their way through. "I'll tell you all about it once we get out of this place." He turned and may or may not have given Yoongi a quick wink. "I rigged this place with explosives. It's going to collapse soon."   "We can't leave yet." Yoongi remembered. "My friend is still inside!"   "Who? Jimin?"   "No. Taehyung. He came here for me."   Namjoon hesitated for a moment. But when he finally nodded and said he'd go find Taehyung, Yoongi never felt more glad. Namjoon ran off to the direction, leaving Yoongi standing there surrounding by the fire. Strangely enough, he didn't feel the heat or the need to step outside faster.    Then a faint but noticeably piercing noise cut through all the chaos. Soon Namjoon ran back and grabbed Yoongi by his wrist, dragging him outside.    "Wait, wait!"   "They're here!"   "Who?"   "People who are not happy I ended Eden!"   "What are you saying?"   Namjoon's shoulder was sagged and his shirt stained red there. There were also burned marks on his skin.    "I'm saying forget Taehyung and get out of here. If he was here then they must have already gotten to him."   "You can't know that!" Yoongi tried to resist being dragged outside but Namjoon kept his grip and his pace. "I can't leave Taehyung behind! He needs me!"   "There's no time."   "Stop! Let me go!"   "Hey, there's no time!" Namjoon pushes Yoongi through the door and out. A gunman came at him and Namjoon swiftly dodged his way to safety too. Once he's out, he saw Jin and Jimin and his heart swelled with joy and gratitude.    "Run!" He yelled for them. Jin was quick—he had always been. He helped Jimin, who was obviously injured, and they all were running to the only exit.    "Taehyung…" Yoongi sobbed.    "He's alright. Look. He's already outside." Namjoon pointed. Between the hastiness of dodging the bullets and running, Yoongi got a chance to have a glimpse at who were waiting on the other side of the gate. Jungkook and Taehyung—both alive and all right.    "Jimin, the password! The gate!" Namjoon yelled just as a bullet kissed the side his abdomen. He flinched but he kept moving. He saw Jimin putting in the password as told and he saw the gate going into lockdown mode as it was programmed to. He picked up his pace. Nearing the gate, he pushed Yoongi ahead hoping he wouldn't trip midway. Once Yoongi made it to the other side, Namjoon squeezed his way out and the gate slammed shut right after. He could feel his shirt getting stuck between the steel door but he didn't care. He was out, he was safe, Eden had fallen.    Now the only thing left was to run away and hope they'd never be able to track him and everyone else down.    * * *    "Call an ambulance!" Someone shouts. It's probably Jin. Jimin rushes to Taehyung's side and presses his fingers against the younger's boy neck. A few seconds later, Jimin lets go and his face falls. Yoongi lifts Taehyung's upper body and holds his head close to his chest.    "He'll be okay," he says. "Right, Jimin?"   Jimin hates to say it, so he just shakes his head.    -   Namjoon has a car—not big enough for 6 adults, but still a car that'll get them away from Eden. Jimin is rummaging through his backpack for bandage and medicines, not forgetting to look at Taehyung every now and then when his head seems to not be working very well. Taehyung is not breathing but there must be something that can help. That can't just be it. Among all the crazy blur, he pulls up an envelope. His bloody hand shakes at the sloppy handwriting.    To: Jimin   From: Taehyung :)   (Read alone! Hehe…)   He shoves the envelope into his pocket just in time before anyone sees it.    "Shouldn't we go to the hospital?" Jin asks, to which Namjoon answers no a little too quickly. "Why not?"   "People who are pissed about what happened to Eden will be there to get us. We can't risk our only chance at freedom."   "We can't risk that boy's dying either."   "He's…" Namjoon glances back at Taehyung quickly and met Jimin's eyes. He turns back to watching the road. "Do you want me to say it?"   "Don't." Yoongi breaks his silence. He has held on to Taehyung's hands all the way, and it's no doubt he finally comes to realize what has become of Taehyung. Jungkook is also keeping his silence ever since they left Eden. Nobody has said it yet, but they all know. Taehyung has bitten the dust.    Jimin shakes his head a few time to clear his sight. Everyone in the car just seems like a distant image to him right now. Their voices are muffled and gibberish.    "Can't we just do something at all? Most of us are injured. We need medical treatment."   "Don't you think I know that?"   "Well, Namjoon, I don't think you know a lot of stuffs considering how you could do what you've done for the past years."   "You yelling at me now isn't going to make anything better, Seokjin."   "At least I'll feel better."   Jimin feels a sudden sharp pain in his chest. His hands are cold as he reached to take off his necklace. He hands it over to Yoongi. If something is going to happen to him too, he feels like Yoongi deserves this little protection after he's gone. The necklace should be able to provide comfort to Yoongi in a way Jimin nor Jungkook can't. But Yoongi doesn't accept, and the necklace soon slips from Jimin's grip along with his consciousness.    The necklace hits the floor mat and a red flare blasts everyone in the car. The sharp pain vanishes, and he can
