chapter 54

Jin was disoriented. He reached for something to grab that wasn't there to steady himself. When he saw the faces, he froze in the spot.

Hoseok was gripping onto a man's shirt collar. The other man looked unfazed.

"You don't know what you fucking did," Hoseok was red in the face. "All of us are dead, you and me and every freak in here,"

Jin looked up. There were in some sort of underground railway. Who are these people? The group hid most of the faces under hoods. Others wore masks and covered their faces with scarves.

The other man stood still, his face cold as a stone. "We had no choice. He would have led them straight to us,"

Hoseok looked around, and unknown faces stared back. Hoseok looked back at the man in front of him and wondered why he was here because he looked normal enough. "The serum, that's what they're trying to fix,"

"They're after the boy," the other man said. He pointed at the crowd behind him. "I gave them time,"

"And then what?" Hoseok said through his teeth. "You gave them a death sentence; that boy is what they needed. After that, they'll hunt all of you down, and then they'll take more people. They'll take more people and experiment on them."

The other man looked past Hoseok toward where Jin was standing. "I'm sure he'll know where to hit Felix's weak spot. After all..." he trailed off.

Jin swallowed hard. Hoseok also looked at him, glaring. Jin's breathing hitched in his throat.

"You're Felix's right hand."

"Then why keep me here?" Jin tried to hide the fear in his voice. The man pushed past Hoseok and pulled out a handgun, but he pointed the firearm downward. The man walked over and stood in front of him.

"Because I'm going to make a deal Felix can't refuse,"

Yoongi should care. He had to care because it was Jungkook's life on the line.

He was just a boy.

"What are they going to do with him?" Yoongi asked. He had gotten over the general shock after seeing the unconscious body of his new friend. What was he supposed to do? He hardly knew him.

You're supposed to watch over him, Yoongi thought to himself. You promised Hoseok you would protect him.

Jimin shook his head. "I don't know,"

Yoongi turned to face the other boy who was looking at the monitor. Jimin was dressed in a blazer, and he had unbuttoned the first button to expose his neck. Yoongi hadn't expected him to dress so nicely. The dynamics inside this place were insane.

He was provided proper clothes instead of white scrubs. Like the past couple of days didn't happen. He was treated like a guest.

Jimin looked at him.

But you promised Jimin first. Yoongi said to himself. You promised you would do anything to stay with him.

They moved freely in the Facility. Yoongi was feeling better than he had a few days ago. It's been nearly a week since Jungkook was dropped in front of the Facility's front steps, an unconscious figure on the sidewalk. It caused quite a commotion. People stared and watched as he brought inside instead of helping. The Facility's security quickly steered police and ambulances away. The crowd promptly forgot the incident.

Yoongi and Jimin returned to their new apartment. A beautiful, fully furnished apartment within the Facility on the fifteenth floor had two rooms, a large kitchen and big windows that filled the entire apartment with natural light.
