Unlasting || Kim Taehyung

9: The Past

The large group enters the building of the base, and you are still slightly frantic because you don't know where Taehyung has run off to, but everyone insisted that he would be okay, and to give him time. You don't know what any of this meant, somehow Taehyung's sire from over a hundred and fifty years ago is now nearby? What does that have to do with all the demons? Or what could even be done about it?

Hoseok starts taking Johnny off to one of their holding cells as Yoongi enters.

"Glad to see you're okay," he says to you.

"Thanks," you smile.

Jin rushes into the room. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, we're okay," Namjoon says and gives Jin a peck on the cheek. He pulls Jin to the side and explains the current situation, and his eyes narrow at the mention of 'Soyoung'.

"Hyung, you should come get her checked out," Jungkook calls to Jin, motioning to Mari, who he had carried back to the base.

"I'm fine, you don't have to-"

"Just have him look, would you?" Jungkook's cold attitude has returned, but Mari doesn't fight him back. She nods her head and walks over to Jin.

"You should get looked at too, just in case," Jimin says, over your shoulder. Jimin carried you back in Taehyung's absence and noticed you were a bit sore, you were sure it was nothing, but also agreed. "And y/n." You turn back around. "Don't worry about Taehyung too much, he'll come back." You give him a weak smile and continue on your way.

Jin leads you and Mari to a medium sized room down the hallway that looks like a doctor's office. You take a seat in one of the chairs off to the side while Mari sits on the large examining table. He walks over and gently begins to put pressure on certain areas and muscles on her body, she winces when he reaches her neck.

"You seem pretty sore here, there might be a bruise there tomorrow," he explains. "But I don't think you're seriously injured anywhere."

"Thank you." She gets down from the table and you take a step up. He then tells her she can head back to the main room, she nods and exits. Jin then repeats his procedure with you, your wrists are slightly sore from being dragged around but other than that Jin concludes you're fine.

"You look like you have a lot on your mind there," he comments, and you sigh.

"I just don't know what to do, I wish I could help Taehyung, but I have no clue what's even going on with him." He nods.

"I'm guessing he hasn't talked about his past that much yet." You shake your head.

"I had asked once when we first met, but he seemed uncomfortable with the topic, and I didn't want to push him."

"Y/n," he starts, "Taehyung may seem really tough, but he's been through a lot, he may even try to push you away, but..." he pauses and looks away. "Can you promise me something?"

"Of course," you answer quickly.

"No matter what happens, just stay by his side." Your eyes meet, and you nod your head.

"I promise."

Jungkook's POV

I had decided to wait at the table in the main room, the rest of the guys have all gone off, but I just want to make sure that dumb human is okay.

'Why do I even care?' I say to myself, 'I should just go back to my room.' I hear footsteps from down the hall before Mari walks out, and she lifts her head up when she sees me. "Oh, hey, were you waiting for me?" I don't answer her question.
