"You're sick, I-- I don't blame you." He mostly blamed Namjoon. He didn't know how to get out of this alive but he knew that maybe Tae was his best bet. Slowly, he slid from his seat and crawled over to Tae, wondering if he felt as shit as Jungkook felt too or if this was just some act. He thought Jimin was a sweet boy and then he saw him, splattered with blood and looking way too happy to catch them.
Raising his hand, he tentatively petted Tae's head, not sure what else to do. "You don't have to make everything blood and pain. You can get better. You still have your pills, right? Keep taking them." Even in a riot, maybe he could just keep him stable and keep himself alive.
"Why can't you have a normal life? I haven't seen you kill anyone here, you're not dangerous, you're a good guy - you want to be, don't you? So-- So protect me." God, he wanted him to. So badly. "Make sure I survive and I'll-- I'll make sure we still get to go to the arcade one day. Okay?"
It was worth a shot. He smiled, sad and scared but doing his best to be encouraging. "That's what adults do. We make deals. So you keep me alive, I'll take you outside." He held out his hand to Tae, it was literally trembling. "Deal?"
