Keep me Closer

Ch III: Broken beyond Repair

Yoongi stops the car in front of his garage, a quietly sleeping Luna now present at his side. He could never blame her, after all the stress and commotion, the poor girl must be exhausted. He waits as the door to the garage starts raising then slips the car inside and after hours which felt like decades, he finally feels safe. Yoongi turns to Luna and grabs her arms lightly as to wake her.

"We've arrived." He says, watching Luna struggle to adjust to the lights.

"Where are we?" she murmurs softly, fear surfing up and causing a crack in her voice.

"At my place. You forgot?" he unfastens his belt, rushing to open the door for her.

Yoongi gestures for her to follow, glancing from time to time at Luna who was observing her surroundings, eyes lingering on the other parked cars. At the elevator, Yoongi starts writing the code to the luxurious building.

"Paranoid much?"

"It's the only entrance so of course I am. I don't trust men in suits, let alone my own people"

At the mention of trust, I believe? Luna hugs herself under his coat. Now that he can relax a bit, without feeling the need to protect someone, he notices how petite the girl is. There she goes again, looking as if she wanted to disappear, at which he admits, he can relate to.

"You can take a shower." No response.

"Luna? You can move now"

"Ohh, sorry. Yea, seems like a great idea"

" I will bring some clothes"

It's unnerving how on guard the girl seems. After that, he decides to call Seokjin.

"Yes?"

"Everything fine there?"

"Yea"

"Good then"

He sounds irritated.

"Have you tried talking with her?" There's why..

"I'll wait for her to trust me a little. Do you think it's our fault she got involved?"

He waits for a reply, and then..

"Hyung, no matter what, they would still be after her. They were there for a reason, we saved her. Please, stop blaming yourself, it's not your burden to carry"

"She is innocent" yoongi repeats.. "She could have died"

"She didn't. The world is fucked up, but that doesn't make it your fault. End of the discussion."

"You trust her?"

"Why would she lie?"

"Hyung... Maybe he wants to keep the info, maybe she is that bastard's lover, trying to keep him safe"

A lot of maybes. Too many for them to be true.

"Get here tomorrow to drive her back to her place, keep an eye on her"

"So? You don't trust her?"

"Hyung.. She was almost strangled, now being in shock and under a lot of distrust that it hurts to see. She might break under more violence. We need the info only for us."

"I understand but try to rest a little"

As he end the call, he hears faint footsteps.

"You want something?"

"I know you want to ask me what happened. I'm not dumb." Luna speaks as she rolls her eyes sitting at the other end of the table.
