54. One In A Million

Third Person’s P.O.V.

“You think we should tell Taehyung about this” Hoseok spoke eyeing the email again as he read through it more thoroughly this time.

“He’s going to know about it anyway, he agreed to join again” Namjoon spoke sitting back in his chair.

Hoseok’s eyes went wider at the news “whoa! Really? I thought he wanted out of all this…”

Namjoon shook his head with a smile “you never saw him in his early days did you?”

The swivel chair rolled back a bit as he picked a file from the table and handed it to Hoseok who got busy to check through it while Namjoon mused on his own “he’s a soldier Hoseok, and there’s one thing we just cannot look away from no matter what…the need for justice” his eyes set on the screen going through the email again, the words there a solace and yet a gnawing premonition of some danger that might occur lurked at the back of Namjoon’s head “he may have given up on his revenge but I’m sure as hell he’s gonna see to the end of Byun’s final sentence…after all, do you think he could forgive the man who made sure to take away every single person in his life?”

“Taehyung actually suggested for Byun’s death sentence? I mean of course he did…he never considered Byun as his father anyway” Hoseok chuckled to himself “how long have they given him before the sentence?”

“Twenty-one days” Namjoon sighed checking on other stuff now “it’s classified information though…remember that, we need to break through all of Axels’ hidden heads before that…Jungkook said there are still people on the inside who believe Byun will come back and Axel will rise again, and once the news of his death sentence gets to the press I’m sure these hidden heads will try to take revenge in every way they can or try to get him out…we can’t accept such casualties anymore”

“They are already pissed, especially on Taehyung for betraying them…they have all become fugitives and are being constantly hunted because they believe he being the traitor had given all the info to us” Hoseok spoke realizing they were treading on thin ice right now.

“You sound scared” he eyed the other with a smirk “and relax, we have already eradicated two of the big ones…I don’t think these rats would be too troublesome for us…we got this” he patted at his shoulder earning a scoff from the other “I sure hope you’re right about that” and their conversation deviated to those times when life had seemed to be this close to being over, and how things had changed. 

“One minute! He’s almost ready!” Jin yelled back at Namjoon’s constant hankering to hurry as he pinned a glittering gold-plated badge on Taehyung’s uniform.

“Where does this one go?” He picked up another badge from the dresser checking hastily where to pin it.

“Right..no left…yeah left” Taehyung said checking himself in the mirror as he took in the sight of him dressed as a Colonel after such a long time, years…it had practically been years and more importantly he had given up the hope to be addressed as a soldier ever again, being welcomed back and promoted had been the last thing on his mind. His eyes softly moved to Jin’s keenly working hands on him, those brown eyes diligently set to help him and he smiled to see how those hands had been there to help him every time he had needed them.

Jin pinned the badge in place, finally setting the array of accolades which Taehyung actually deserved. He gazed at him, taking in the sight of him in a uniform for the very first time and a proud smile lingered on his lips.

“If they accuse me of being late, I’ll tell them you were being adamant about dressing me up yourself” Taehyung taunted reciprocating the smile as his hands habitually coiled around Jin’s waist, pulling his beloved to himself.
