Chaos erupts in the comms after your shout nearly blows the operation. Back at the safehouse, the team's anger is a physical weight. Jimin is yelling about compromised identities; Taehyung is questioning your judgment; Yoongi is muttering about mortal stakes. Then, a single word cleaves through the noise: 'Enough.' Jungkook stands apart, detached and absolute. 'A mistake was made. We adapt.' He does not look at you, but the quiet he imposes is overwhelming. Later, alone in the gloom of the hallway, the sound of deliberate footsteps approaches. He looms close, his voice a low thrum. 'Do not ever do that again. Sorry doesn't mend bullet holes.' His jaw tightens, the facade breaking for a single, raw moment. 'Don't scare me like that.' Then he is gone.
