Freedom : A BTS Horror AU

We're Free

"What is that smell?" Jimin asked in the office with Taehyung.
He smelled it too.
"Smoke."
"FIRE!" A kid screamed from outside.
"Fire?!" Jimin exclaimed.
The two burst out and saw it, a huge fire in the dining room.
"TAEHYUNG GET THE KIDS OUT!"
Doing as told, he woke up all the kids and had them go outside.
Jimin went to investigate, and noticed things burning, but used his vision to see that it was items meant to resemble bodies.
"Oh my god..."
He ran outside and went to Taehyung.
"The three escaped. Find them while I alert Namjoon!"
Panicking, Taehyung ran to where the 3 were, but not to capture them.
"This is Jimin! There's a fire at the plant, the three top children escaped!"
...
The three were running on the edge when they heard a siren blaring.
"Crap, we gotta hurry!"
"Jisu, we forgot to disable the system!" Hyun said afraid.
"Doesn't matter now, we're almost there." Sung-hoon said.
They arrived at the tree and got the rope. Jisu climbed the tree, taking one end and tying it to the branch. She then tossed it to the other side, where it hooked onto a lower branch.
Taking a hanger, she put it on the rope and let go of the branch, making it to the other side.
Next was Hyun. He did the same and made it successfully.
As Sung-hoon was about to climb the tree, a voice stopped him.
"Sung-hoon wait!" Called Taehyung.
The boy turned and saw him.
"A-Are you gonna report us?..."
Smiling, he shook his head no.
"I just wanted to say... Good luck in the outside. Do me a favor."
He pulled out the ring and put it in Sung-hoon's hand.
"Give this to Madam Park when you find her."
"Tae, why don't you do it?..."
"Well... To put it simply, I did a good thing many years ago, and now I'm chained to a pole."
He opened his shirt and showed a scar where his heart is.
"One step and I'm killed with a shock."
But he was hearing his brothers, they were getting closer.
"You must go. Good luck. I know you can make it."
Nodding, Sung-hoon climbed up and zipped down, landing safely and unhooking the rope.
Running off, they went to find what Madam Park had left.
Meanwhile, Tae stared at the edge.
"Once again... Good luck to you all. I'm sorry you were put into a life like this.
I deeply regret not being able to give you the life you deserved.
I know you will do great things and end this cursed existence.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you sooner.
Stay safe."
Taehyung whispered this all to himself.
He knew this was his end as well.
He sat on the edge, thinking about his choices, his life.
"I loved her.
I loved my life.
But my life was a dream.
Namjoon woke me up and brought me into the real world.
I couldn't fight it, he had won.
I wanted to change this reality. Make it better.
Especially for her.
I couldn't let him hurt her.
Even though it doomed my future, it began her's.
I don't regret it.
I don't regret sentencing myself to death for their safety.
I don't care my life has no more meaning.
I fufilled my purpose. I freed them, so they can break the curse.
I couldn't change a thing.
So I gave the power to let them change it for me.
Because I love.
I cared.
I care for her.
I care for them.
And now comes my defeat.
They were all so small. They all used to be so... Small.
Why couldn't I have loved them normally?
Why couldn't I love her normally?
Because that's not how this goes.
And I don't care."
