STAY WITH US (BTSxreader)

Chapter 53: Red Bullet

Hoseok hadn't let go on my hand for the whole drive to the concert, he held it close with an iron like grip in his lap. His only movements came from his thumb, that stroked back and forth across my knuckles; as if doing so was the key to healing everything within me.

All the boys were just as needy, as they would constantly turn around to glance at me every few seconds. Some even opted to sit in their seat backwards, but were soon stopped by the elders, as that would've been unsafe.

We all talked the whole journey, but no matter how cheery the conversation, or how loud my laugh was... there was still something behind their eyes, every time they glanced my way... something that said they were still scared...

I admit being back felt strange, almost like there was a wall between us now, and I didn't know what it was. Though I was determined to break it down, within the week.

"Y/n-ie before we arrive, we have a little surprise for you" Taehyung smiled bright in a little giggle, as he wobbled his shoulders side to side in excitement.

"Noooo" I whined "...what is it?" I groaned, but they only laughed.

"We know you don't like presents, but we got this one for free, Okay?" Yoongi raised an eyebrow knowing that I didn't like it when they spent their money on me.

"Okay..." I was still suspicious as I watched Namjoon bending down to grab something from under his seat before handing it to Jungkook to pass back to me.

"Here you go sunshine" I took the small present reluctantly, flipping it over and started to tear its paper. I pulled out the tube like package revealing a yellow and red stick with the world 'Red Bullet Tour' written across its front.

My heart throbbed, this was their light stick...

"How were you planning to cheer us on without one of these, huh Y/n!?!" Jin yelled in a laugh from behind me as I gripped the precious thing in my hand.

I couldn't help a small chuckle past my lips as I held back the overwhelming emotion behind this wall I had put up.

"Guys... thankyou" I struggled to speak, but still held the biggest smile on my face "This means a lot thankyou" I nodded my head and blinked my eyes a couple times to calm myself down.

"It's just a light stick Y/n, how much could it mean?" Yoongi joked, but I was quick to answer his question.

"It means a lot because I always wanted to buy one.... but never did, as I didn't believe I would get the chance to even go to one of your concerts this year" I took a deep breath, collecting myself before looing up to their worried faces with a sweet smile. "So, thankyou"

It was quiet for a second until I felt Hoseok slipping a hand around me to rest on the side of my head to softly pull me to him. He placed a soft kiss to the top of my head before leaning his cheek against it, but still allowing himself to meet the worried gazes in the other boys' eyes.

His were probably just as glossy and big as those in front of me... and I didn't like it one bit.

"Hey" I giggled, pulling away from Hoseok to look him in the eye "what's with all these sad faces" I laughed as I looked back and forth between the boys. "There will be no sad faces today" I softly flicked Hoseok's nose with my finger making him giggle. "Besides I'm going to a BTS concert!"

...

With my new light stick in hand I waited in line with my fellow Armys, as we eagerly awaited for the opening of the doors.

The boys were reluctant to leave me alone so soon, but I assured them I would be safe around Army, and that I'd find them right after the concert ended.
