Before you came round my heart would never beat much faster, before you came round I was ready to slow down, before you came round I was heading for a small disaster, before you came round I was ready to blow me down...let it go. Paint my body gold, take our bodies higher and higher and higher, we can fo until the morning glow, we can go higher and higher and higher...
Out breaths mingled together as we ran through the thick woods. Foreheads and hands slick with sweat but we never let go of one another. My eyes and throat burned from the need to let my emotions run but my adrenaline also pulsed as I thought of my immediate death if we slowed...
"we could get in trouble one day you know?" Teenage Jimin complained as I tugged his hand through the long hallways. "we shouldn't be skipping cla-."
"will you shut up and live a little?" I interrupt his whining as I remove my hand from his, glance around my surroundings; and then push the window up. "you go first whinny boy~." I teased as my fingers itched to be laced with Jimin's once again...
Jimin's wild smirk climbed to his face as he stared at me. "I outta smack you." He scoffed as he ducked out of the window and held it open for me so I could jump out it.
"my ass is right here for the taking." I winked as I grabbed his hand and starting running towards the woods. "it's been weeks since I have seen you and you don't want to sneak out of class with me?" I questioned as we ran through the woods.
"(y/n) don't be stupid. I missed you like crazy." Jimin replied as he grunted tripping over a root. "I've just been busy with some things..."
"(y/n)!" Yoongi snapped as he stirred me from my thoughts. "get in the car." Yoongi said as I stared around the empty road wondering where we even were and how Yoongi knew how to navigate his way through the woods.
I didn't question out loud as I ducked into the black van and Yoongi scooted next to me. My eyes catch on Jungkooks as he turns around in the passenger seat. "where's Jimin?" My eyes widen to the question and my vision goes blurry as I think of his body...
"H-he didn't make it." Yoongi said softly as he gently lowered my un-moving body so that I was laying on his lap. I wanted to move away from his embrace, act like I was fine and strong again... But as he rubbed my back and soothed my crying... I didn't want to move...
"I'm in love with you Jimin..." I say softly as I felt myself heat up. I've been pushing this back for weeks but with him always coming and going; it needed to be done today. "you don't need to say anything ye-."
"I'm not in love with you." Jimin says flatly making my whole body freeze. My eyes shake against his figure as he shrugs and sighs. "I'm sorry that I don't have the same feelings towards you (y/n). but can we still be friends?" he says softly as a smile comes to his face.
"y-yeah we c-."
"oh I gotta go. I'll talk to you later!" Jimin yelled back as he took off...
It was like he tried to avoid what just happened...

I stir against Yoongi's lap as I come out of my sleep. My eyes open as I look up to see Yoongi was asleep as well. His head was pressed against his hand as he curled next to the window. The picture of Yoongi crying before is all that ran over my head as the dying sun and flashing lights passed by the car window and showed the stain lines on his cheeks.
Instinctively I sit up and lick my thumb so that I can clean his face off. I didn't want the others to know he was just as upset as I was for some reason... My thumb gently swiped across his soft cheeks as he cooed in his sleep. I couldn't help but smile as he mumbled.
"(y/n)..."
My eyes widen to Yoongi saying my name in his sleep and my heart starts to race. I slowly swallow the saliva build up as I realize how close I was to Yoongi's lips. "H-hey guys where are we g-going?" I stuttered as I situated myself in the seat next to Yoongi and ran my fingers through my knotted hair.
"we're going to meet up with Tae." Jin says as he switches the left blinker on and waits patiently for the light to switch.
"we're what?" I questioned as I pulled myself closer to the two in the front. "why the hell are we-."
"because we have no one else to trust anymore (y/n)." Jungkook snaps as he looks at me. "this would have never happened if we just didn't pick you up that night..." Jungkook muttered as he turned to look back out the window.
My breath catches in my throat as his words kissed my ears. I closed my eyes as I slowly pushed myself back into my seat and leaned against Yoongi's shoulder. He's right...
"that's not true Jungkook." Jin says as he turns the wheel and moves over to the right lane. "this would have still happened even if (y/n) wasn't here..."
The car fell silent as Jin picks up speed. I wanted to speak up to say that I was sorry. But Jungkook spoke again. "Well Jimin would still be ali-."
"That's enough."
My head turns to the man I thought was completely asleep as the words leave his mouth. He ran his hand through his hair as he fixes his bundled shirt. "there was no stopping Jimin's death. What happened, happened. There's no reason to-."
"you're just saying that so that you can forgive yourself for killing (y/n)'s mom." Jungkook scoffed as he rolled down his window letting the heated tension in the car out. "pathetic."
"it doesn't matter if Yoongi forgives himself or not." I speak up as the wind pushes my hair to one side of my body. "I, the daughter of the woman he killed, forgives him." I turn towards Yoongi and smile as I place my hand against his. "that's all that matters. I know you may not forgive me for coming in your life and making things so hard..." I pause as the car slows to a stop. "I may never forgive myself either Jungkook..."
Silence filled the stopped car as Jin turned the engine off. "Nobody is at fault here." Jin says as he opens his door and slams it behind him.
Jungkook sighs as he turns to look at Yoongi and I. "You're right... I'm sorry okay?" he says softly and I simply nod my head. "good let's go talk to tae." He says as he rolls his eyes; stepping out of the car.

(Namjoon's POV)
"why am I even here Johnathan?" I asked softly as I shivered from the rush of cold air kissing my fresh cuts and bruises. "I can't bring you tae or (y/n)..."
Johnathan hummed as he paced the floor in front of me. His black suit reeked of cigar smoke as he inched closer to me. "are you saying you want to die?" He questioned as a large smile comes to his face. "come on that's no fun."
"what are you getting at then Johnathan?" I chuckled instantly making me regret that as the pain of my bruise ribs ran through my body.
Johnathan smirked as he walked closer to me. "see you're going to be my bait." My eyes widened as I tried to picture (y/n) running through those doors, tears in her eyes as she finds me... But then is gone the second she reaches me... "one of the groups is bound to come after me or you." He smiles as he sits in his chair and crosses his legs. "and I have no plans for a while. Do you?"

(Y/n POV)
"Now when we go I don't want anyone to start any-."
"where the fuck is taehyung!" Yoongi yelled as he pushed passed Jin and into the old abandoned building. "come on son of a bitch! Show your face!" he yelled causing all eyes to fall on him.
"hey who the fuck do you think you ar-."
"it's okay." Tae says as he comes out of an office at the top of the rusty stairs. "come on guys." He waves us towards the door, his eyes locking on mine and then ripping them off as he disappears in the room.
I tuck my hands in my pockets as I walk up the stairs last. Men catcalled below me as I walked up the stairs, clear view of my ass. "hey if another one of you whistles; I'm going to rip your throats out." Yoongi cusses as he stares down at the men and grabs my waist making my nerves electrify. "go ahead of me." He whispers as he picks me up and places me in front of him.
"So do you know what we are going to do?" Jin asked as we filled the tiny room. I shuffled my feet on the dark floor as Taehyung stared a hole into me. "hello? Taehyung?" Jin said as he waved his hand in front of Taes face to gets his attention.
Taehyung smiled as he rubbed his head. "I'm sorry I'm just tired." He said making Jungkook and Yoongi to scoff at the same time.
"tired of being a complete asshole?" Jungkook muttered to Yoongi like they were two school girls gossiping about a hot teacher.
"okay-." Taehyung paused as he sat on the edge of his desk and stared at the four of us. "I get that you are angry at me but-."
"How long have you been working with my mother?" I asked as I stepped past Yoongi and Jungkook, their eyes following me as I moved. I pulled on the edges of my shirt as I situated myself under the stares of all the men. My eyes darted onto Hoseok's who seemed sad as he stared at me.
"I'm sorry; what?" Jin asked as he tugged on my shoulder. "this is no time to be asking qu-."
I shoved Jins hand off my shoulder as I cocked my head at tae and scoffed. "you know what I just thought about as I set foot into here... was 'how the hell is taehyung connected in all of this?'" I smiled as I stepped closer and rested my finger on my chin. "Hoseok has a clear story, Namjoon does, everyone I have ever came into contact does- But. You" I say as I poke at Taes chest. "so what is it? Why are you the person 'calling the shots' around here?"
Taehyung sucked in a dry laugh as he moved my finger from off his chest. His eyes stared at me up and down, a small smirk coming to his face. "where's Jimin?" he questioned making my eyes widen.
"he's dead." Jungkook said flatly as he stepped up along me. "now (y/n) here has a good point." He begins as he places his hand on my shoulder and pulls me close to the side of his body. "how did you get in this equation?"
"are we seriously going to talk about this right no-." Taehyung began but was quickly interrupted by Hoseok.
"yeah you actually never even told me." Hoseok said as he leaned in to hear the story.
Taehyung sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "we could literally be under attack any minute and all you guys want to do is question me? The person who invited you here; to help you?" Taehyung scoffed as the room fell silent giving him an obvious answer. "(y/n)'s mom took me in as a baby...."
"took you in?" Jungkook questioned as my eyes scanned my 'step-brother.' "were your parents killed or so-."
"No; No one ever knew my parents..." Taehyung says as he looks at me. "I considered Lucile my mother."
"wait a second." Jungkook began as he leaned forward. "tae how old are you again?"
Taehyung laughed as he pressed against his desk. "are we seriously fucking doing this?"
"just answer the question dipshit." Yoongi spat as he stepped up with his arms crossed to his body.
Taehyung sighed as he looked at the group. "21."
Jungkook began to break out in laughter as the whole room stared at him questionable. "man this just keeps getting better and better."
"what do you me-."
"My father came home one night telling my mother this panicked story. 'Mrs. Lucile is pregnant what if it's a boy, I won't be able to take over the company anymore.' Blah blah blah. Anyway, 21 years ago your mother claimed she had a 'miscarriage' while she was away on 'business'" Jungkook chuckled nervously as he rubbed his face. "to put it shortly- Taehyung is-."
"My Brother..."
