PROTECT YOU FOREVER/ BTS/ NAMJOON

43. Escape

Taehyung’s POV:

We sit around each other snickering, guessing and betting what is going inside the closed door.

“I think hyung will confess.” Jungkook says.

“They might even kiss, who knows?” Jin hyung says wiggling his eyebrows.

“It’s been good amount of time, they might take it further.” Jimin says smirking.

We all gasp at what he meant, and then burst out laughing. “There’s a kid here.” Jin hyung scolds him.

“Am an adult hyung!” Jungkook hits Jin hyung offended. We all laugh again.

We have some snacks as we imagine the further possibilities. I think hyung will confess and they will kiss maybe. They will make a good couple.

Just then manager hyung comes rushing towards us.

“We need to leave soon.” He says in a hurry.

We all turn our heads towards him. “What happened?” Suga asks. “We just need to leave, everyone needs to leave.” He says.

He then notices Namjoon missing. “Where is RM?” he asks. None of us dare to open our mouth, and Mr.Bak rushes in. “I can’t find Sam.” He says panicking. “What?” manager says in shock? What the hell happened?

“Listen get them out first, let’s both look for them.” Manager Hyung says to the other man.

He immediately dials to Sam, which she answers soon and tells them the location.

Suddenly a few police officers burst in. “Come on if these are all, you need to leave.” One of them shouts.

Manager hyung goes to one of them and gives Sam’s location. They nod and two of them leave and others ask us to move out.

They push everyone out. When they take us to a place outside there are more armed officers there, with different idol groups. We are united with TXT.

“What is happening?” Suga asks again to Bang PD. “I’ll tell you later back at the company. We need to leave this place soon. But where is RM?” he says. Sejin hyung tells him. Bang PD’s face turns pale.

After some ten minutes one of the officers who went to look for hyung and Sam returns with a man not more than twenty-twenty two.

“The changing room was empty, I found him on the floor tied up. No arms.” He says to some other officer. The mentioned officer clenches his jaw.

We all look at each other worried, if the room was empty where are they?

“Listen officer, we want them back safe I don’t know what you are going to do.” Bang PD speaks angrily to them.

We look at each other in guilt, fear creeping in. I desperately wish they are safe.

Namjoon’s POV:

…The door creaks open.

We brace ourselves to whoever it may be. I wish its one of our staff, sadly it isn’t.

Some young lad opens the door, he curses seeing us. Who is he? I don’t remember seeing him around. Saanjh looks at him suspiciously.

“Well, you guys can do.” He says and suddenly takes out a pistol. We freeze.

“Hands up.” He says. We follow.

“Stay behind me.” Saanjh whispers.

What is she trying to do? She steps forward confidently. I notice the boy’s eyes a bit unfocused and his grip on the gun a bit too tight. I understand he isn’t confident enough to threaten us. He takes a step back, when she takes another step forward.

“Stay there or you’ll face it.” He shouts. But she doesn’t stop.

At this point am scared, he could do it. Saanjh step back.

When she’s close enough to him she stops. He shakes a bit and points it at us tightening his grip more.

“Listen girl, I won’t say it again go back.” He tries to place authority but fails. It’s easy to make he’s nervous very.

“Ok.” She says with her hands still up. The boy looks up confused, his grip a bit loose now. He seems to be debating what to do next. Saanjh uses this opportunity to our advantage. She kicks off the gun away in one swift motion, taking the boy by surprise. Before he can get his stance she knees him in his stomach making
him fall down.

She quickly holds him down taking his hands behind. “Namjoon hold him.” She orders. I quickly follow holding the struggling man, while she gets rid of her tie completely and tying up his hands rough.

“How many?” she asks him. I just watch her holding him with her knees; she’s strong, no doubt. Her angry expression is scary.

“I asked how many of you?” she asks again pulling his hair back.

“Te…ten.” He chokes out. She leaves his hair and we stand up.

“We need to leave before others of his team find us.” She says picking up the gun. “Why are you taking that?” I ask her. “Self-defense.” She says tucking it in her pant.

We hear some light footsteps. “Let’s go.” She says pulling me by arm and rushing outside.

We run in the opposite direction from where we came from. Isn’t the exit other way? Why are we going this way? Seems like she knows what she is doing, her grip tight on my wrist.

We finally stop near the stage set up, more like under it. Its dark, pitch black, as far I know its way past midnight. Saanjh pulls out her phone for flashlight.

“We are under the stage.” I say breathing heavy, looking around.

“Do you know where from here?” she asks scanning the area. Her hand still holding mine

“There should be an opening for the staff to move under here … somewhere towards the west side, usually it’s in the west.”

“Ok, I trust you, let’s head west.”

“Wait, where are we going?” I ask stopping her.

“We are getting out f here through the other exit.”

“Other exit?”

“You’ll see.” She says smiling.

We head west, carefully avoiding all kind of equipment lying here.

Jungkook’s POV:

It’s been more than half an hour we still have no sign of hyung or noona. I am worried for them. The search party caught four more of attackers, and a few still missing. All turned out to be just some youngsters with unlicensed guns.

By now all the other groups have left, even TXT and our other staff too. Only BTS, manager Sejin, Bang PD and a few bodyguards are left.

“We still did not find the pair.” One of the officers says to their head.

“And the other attackers?” the head asks. The officer just shakes his head a no.

With every passing minute we grow restless. Bang PD paces up and down tensing.

“I told you it wasn’t a good idea.” Suga hyung says this to Jin hyung.

“How was I supposed to know this would happen?” Jin hyung yells back.

Jimin and Hobi try to calm them down. I just stare at the path quietly; when their bickering doesn’t stop I get irritated.

“Shut up now will you; instead of fighting just hope they return soon.” I yell back at them. Realizing what I did I shrink back looking down. They stop and look at me with soft eyes. “Sorry Kookie.” They both say together. I just stay quiet; Tae comes and gives me a hug, “They’ll be back soon.” He says. Others too join in. Yes, they will come back soon.
