Anna Alice. Cry (№ 444427)

Jeongguk looks like he's covered in long, sharp needles. Metaphorically. If you get close to him, you'll prick. If you want to stay close, you will bleed. That's how his defense mechanisms work. I've seen a lot, Namjoon. People do not put up such protection when they are already morally dead and decomposing. They expose it when they are almost destroyed. Almost is the key word. Jungkook wants and will fight. To spite everyone and to the end.
