chapter 47

"We're important, all of us," Hoseok spoke quietly that Jin had to lean in to hear him.

Jungkook sat on the Barcalounger, watching the other two sitting on the couch. He couldn't help but glance toward the kitchen doorway, where the other male was tied on a chair out of sight from Jungkook. They had been watching TV, completely relaxed and unaware of the danger that climbed up the stairs when there was a knock on the door. They froze and watched Jin slowly answer the door, revealing another boy he didn't know.

"We're not disposable," Hoseok added, and Jungkook snapped out of his daze.

Jin nodded. He couldn't believe this was happening. Jin was going to get them killed. His hands shook so much he had to hold them down on his lap. "I think it's time we finally do something," Jin uttered. "Enough sitting around,"

"What are you hoping we could do?"

"You'll make us disappear," Jin added curtly. "We'll have to leave – for real this time. We'll knock him out again, and we'll leave him here."

Hoseok couldn't protest anymore. He's wanted to leave since they came back but not without them, and now they had a chance. "I've powered up a car before,"

Jin nodded. "We need to be invisible; he can track us through security cameras."

"I can take care of that," Hoseok added. "I mean... we can kill him,"

Jin looked at him, and his mouth gaped open. He didn't react to what Hoseok said right away. It didn't seem to click in his brain. He almost considered it. They wouldn't know how long Taehyung would be knocked out; it might not be enough time to run. "No," Jin shook his head. "That's crazy, and we couldn't,"

Hoseok nodded. "Okay, we'll just knock him out,"

Jin couldn't stop shaking. He couldn't just sit around and expect everything would be okay. He was risking everyone's life. He had to leave Namjoon behind; Namjoon knows he would do the same if Jin were in the Facility. Namjoon would call him stupid for sitting around, hoping he would come home. Jin knew he was stupid.

"What about Yoongi?" Hoseok seemed hesitant to ask.

"What about Yoongi?" Jin repeated. Jungkook seemed to understand quickly before Jin understood. Jin shook his head. "No, he's coming with us.

"He's weak," Hoseok answered. "He'll only slow us down,"

"That's where the car comes in," Jin retorted.

"It's only going to take us so far," Hoseok tried to reason with Jin.

"I can't believe you're saying that," Jin scowled. "He's my friend,"

"I can't believe you're not thinking it," Hoseok replied. "Look, I don't want to be an asshole, but we won't get far if we bring him along,"

"Then why come back?" Jin retaliated, looking at both boys. "There was no reason, and you already left both of you had a chance never to come back,"

"We're strong in numbers," Hoseok answered. Jin hated the way he answered in a very blunt manner. In a way, Hoseok was only thinking about him and Jungkook's safety.

"We'll come back for him," Jungkook said. Both boys were turning to look at him. "You said it yourselves. Felix hates that we care for each other."

"kook," Hoseok attempted to cut him off.

"Hoseok, I know why you sneak off, leave me behind for the whole day, and I know the reason now," Jungkook looked straight at him. "I didn't understand at first, you were looking for somewhere we can hide, every time – scouted the area first before coming back to get me, and we would move again. You're searching for a safe place for us, and we can do that now. We can search for a safe place for all of us,"

"We have to go ahead before they can come with us," Hoseok looked at Jin. "We find that place, and then come back for everyone else,"

"What if they get hurt?"

"We should be dead already," Hoseok explained. "Don't you get it?"

Jin's eyes watered, and he shook his head.

"He knows we're together," Hoseok whispered. "He knows Taehyung is here, and he knows Jungkook is here. He would have killed us the moment Jungkook, and I was five blocks away when we first arrived. He has been watching you since the beginning, even before Jimin woke up, he's always been watching you're every move,"

They jumped up, startled by the sound of the door opening and Yoongi and Jimin walking to the living room. Jimin held Yoongi around his waist, Yoongi had his arm around Jimin's shoulders. Jin quickly rubbed his face and tried to look like he hasn't been crying for a week straight. "I don't think you should be moving,"

"I'm okay," Yoongi muttered. He was sweating beads. He wasn't okay. "Where is he?"

"Kitchen," Jin answered him.

"Jimin, go see him," Yoongi whispered, startling Jin. He would have thought Yoongi wouldn't want him near Taehyung. "I'll be fine here,"

Yoongi reached out to Jin, who quickly wrapped his arm around him. Jimin went to the kitchen without a word. Jin watched him walk away.

"Something's wrong," Yoongi said quietly. Jin's brows furrowed together. "He's different,"

"What do you mean?" Jin whispered back.

"I don't know, and I can't explain it," Yoongi groaned, and Jin and Hoseok helped him sit on the couch. "It's like I can't recognize him,"

Yoongi noticed they were quiet, especially Jungkook, who usually never stopped talking or asking questions. "Okay, what's wrong with you guys? It's like I stepped into a wormhole. Everyone is acting differently now."

"We were talking," Hoseok answered him. Jin was about to interrupt. "We're talking about leaving the city before everything fucks up,"

"Jimin's here. We can finally leave," Jin added.

Yoongi scowled. His head snapped to the side to look at Jin. "Namjoon's not here,"

Jin couldn't look at him. Hoseok raised his hand. "We're not doing this right now, we agreed,"

"Agreed on what?" Yoongi asked, looking back and forth at them.

"You're too weak right now," Hoseok said. "and we don't know if Namjoon will ever leave the Facility."

"You're leaving us behind," Yoongi interrupted. The apartment was still for a split second. Everyone seemed to be holding their breaths. Yoongi nodded, "Okay,"

Jin raised his head, surprised by his answer. "Yoongi,"

"You don't have a choice," Yoongi whispered. "I know you don't,"

"Jimin will never leave with us, that's the problem," Jin pointed out. "He would never leave you behind,"

Yoongi's lashes fluttered, he nodded. "I know, and we'll stay,"

"No, you're going to be here alone," Jin snapped back. "He's going back to Felix, and you know that,"

"Then I'll wait," Yoongi declared. "For him,"

"He's just a puppet now," Hoseok muttered. "Somehow, Felix will get him to him if he hasn't already,"

"He's acting differently, but it's Jimin, and I'm not leaving him," Yoongi remarked.

Jin couldn't stand it – he hated making the final decision. "Okay, we leave soon then,"
