Save Me || Book 1 ✅

That Makes it Real

Seconds felt like years passing by. The room was silent, deadly silent - which was morbidly appropriate. No one knew what to do! Everyone was too shocked to do anything. 

Jisoo rose to her feet, slowly. Namjoon offered her his hand to help her as her legs were weak beneath her, however, she refused the help. 

"Jisoo, I am so..." The leader started but trailed off. The girl couldn't look at him, he was covered in her sister's blood. Instead, she looked straight past him at the maknae. 

Jungkook stood motionless, his face was blank, and he didn't want to move away... Or he couldn't. 

Namjoon saw a flash of rage flood the girl's eyes but it was only for a split second. It was like she thought about losing it and then decided it was best not to. He couldn't help but notice just how strong the girl was, mentally. He turned to the maknae who looked just as blank and empty as before. 

"Jungkook, I think you should leave the room." He said firmly, though his tone wasn't angry or cold, just sympathetic. Jungkook didn't respond, he just kept staring at the body on the floor. The cold lifeless body of the girl he was starting to let into his heart. He knew he shouldn't have gotten close to her. 

He should have known better.

"No," Jisoo mumbled, looking at the ground. Her tone was soft but sorrowful. She sounded almost guilty. "I think you should leave." 

"I beg your pardon?" Namjoon asked, looking at the girl in confusion. He felt bad for her, but all he was trying to do was help. He was doing his best.

"Take some blankets, half the food if you need to..." Jisoo said, quietly, tuning away and sitting down. "But I think you should leave." 

"It doesn't feel right, taking their food." Seokjin sighed despite placing cans in his backpack.

"I know, but they insisted." Hoseok shook his head, folding up two blankets and shoving them into his bag. Taehyung and Yoongi were collecting all the group's belongings and were walking in and out of the room, back and forth.

"If they want us to leave, that's understandable at this point. Just be grateful they're being this generous. They don't owe us anything." Namjoon commented, walking into the room. He had cleaned himself off and respectfully left the girls to deal with Lisa's body the way they chose to. "Where's Jungkook?" He quickly asked, noticing the young boy wasn't in the room.

The older men looked at each other and around the room. They hadn't noticed Jungkook leave and instantly started worrying about him. He was in no fit state to be on his own, he was too emotionally unstable. 

Luckily, Taehyung knew where the boy was.

"Jimin took him for a walk, outside," Taehyung told them as he walked into the room, his arms full of all their water bottles. Yoongi was walking behind him, carrying a couple of tools, and almost bumped into him as he paused. 

"He did?" Yoongi asked, moving around Taehyung and going over to the others, a small frown on his face. Taehyung nodded at his hyung. 

"Yeah, Kook was walking off anyway. Jiminah chased after him to make sure he was okay." Taehyung clarified his casual statement. The other's seemed to accept this but Yoongi felt worried, about both of them.  

Jungkook was in no state to be on his own and there was no way Jimin was strong, or well, enough to deal with him if he kicked off. 

"I'll go and find them," Seokjin said, reassuring Yoongi after seeing his concerned expression. "But let's give them a few minutes, first."
