The Hunters and their Prey || A Vhope story

Hold On

March 7, 2021

Seokjin looked out of the window...the sky is filled with dark clouds, giving out a gloomy vibe. He turned to look at his brother, who is going through files and files like there is no tomorrow. "Aren't you going?" Jin finally decided to ask his stubborn brother, who is pretending like there is nothing wrong. But Jin could see right through him; he always did. All this being busy act is Namjoon's way of forgetting things that bothered him.

"Going where?"

"The Funeral is going to be held within the next hour. Don't you want to say goodbye?"

"I killed him...That bullet was my goodbye."

"I am going anyway. Whether you want to come or not... that is your choice. I just want you to not have any regrets Joonie, it is a chance for you to move to a new chapter and forget that man who betrayed us."

"......."

"You need this closure Namjoon..not me, not the rest, but you. You are the one in need of this."

"........."

"I will wait in the car for you."

Jin was surprised to see V and the rest in the car. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Let's go and bid goodbye to that son of a bitch." Jungkook shouted while showing his popcorn bucket to Jin's face.

"Seriously? we are going to a funeral, not to watch a movie kookie."

"Oh, he is coming to watch his favorite show, not funeral Jin." Suga said with a smirk.

"Show?"

"Yes, the life of his little rat...Come on hyung why do you think these three get on this car, they just wanna see Hoseok and drool over his crying face. Sadistic bitches."

"Oh V...don't be rude, we just wanna watch over that little kid. You know he needs all the support in this world now." Jimin tried to wrap his arms around his best friend's shoulder, which V pushed away mercilessly. 

"Where is Namjoon?" Suga asked while looking at the front door. The one who is supposed to come is not being seen anywhere. Jin sighed and climbed on the passenger seat. "Let's wait for some time." Both elders looked out through their windows while the youngest ones were bickering in the back seat. 

"We are waiting for half an hour...he is not going to come. Let's go Hyung, there is no point in waiting." V finally said after the long wait. Suga didn't say anything to counter. He somehow guessed that Namjoon would not show up, the hate in his heart was that much strong. He started the vehicle and drove away. Through the window of his study room, Namjoon watched the vehicle fading from his vision. He took a long puff from his cigar. He turned and looked into the photo of Hoseok lying on the top of his desk. He slowly reached towards it and picked it in his hands.

'You were so adamant on hiding this little one from my sight right? Now watch it Mark, I am going to burn him with my hatred...he is going to pay for your betrayal while you could do nothing but wither away.' Namjoon held the photo near his lighter and smirked while watching the fire eating the boy slowly.

Suga parked the car near a tree and looked at the entrance of the burial ground. As far as they can see, there are only a few people attending the funeral. He looked at Jin, expecting him to go.

"I will go." Jungkook was all ready to jump out of the car when Taehyung grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"Careful bunny, you are going to attend a funeral with your blood red jacket and this cheeky smile? Shut up and sit here. Suga hyung, why don't you go and see how things are? It will be better if I and Jin hyung don't appear anywhere public."
