Unlasting || Kim Taehyung

43: Outnumbered

"Taemin." Jimin takes another step forward.

Your eyes widen as you remember, and you're about to call out to Jimin, but it's too late, Jimin's body is launched backwards and pinned to the ground. Taemin is on top of him, using his weight to hold the vampire down as he struggles beneath him. Jimin's expression is a mix of both panic and confusion as he looks at Taemin. The rest of you all run out on the open field, and Jimin finally stops struggling, looking into Taemin's eyes.

"Taemin?" he pants. "Is that you?" Taemin doesn't respond, merely looking into the vampire's eyes. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because." Soyoung walks out from behind the corner, and everyone turns to her to put their guard up while Jungkook pushes Mari back to stand in front of her. "He was never on your side to begin with."

Suddenly your group is surrounded by a large group of men, including Taeyong, Mark and Johnny, who you give a look, but he simply ignores your gaze.

"What is she talking about, Taemin?" Jimin asks, but he still doesn't speak.

"You can let go of him, Taemin. They're not getting away."

You can tell she was much angrier than before, probably because her plan failed, now she's resorting to brute force. Taemin steps off of Jimin and walks over to Soyoung's side. Jimin quickly gets to his feet and watches the demon.

"...Taemin." Jimin calls out again.

"Don't you get it?" Soyoung snaps, and Jimin's eyes lock on her. "He was never on your side." Suddenly everyone's attention is shifted to Soyoung, just as confused as Jimin.

"I sent him into your little clan to get your trust. Who do you think left the ring there? How do you think we got that letter to Taehyung? Despite how strong I am, breaking a warlock's barrier is a lot tougher than you would think." She grins and walks over to Jimin, meeting him face to face. "Did you really think he cared about you?"

She backs away as everyone watches in silence, and Jimin lifts his face up.

"Is that true?" Taemin doesn't respond. "Answer me!" The raise in Jimin's voice causes you to jump, even Taehyung looks shocked.

"It's true," he mutters out, and you see something change in Jimin's eyes, they're filled with anger, and pain.

"That's enough." Everyone looks at Soyoung again, and she points at you and Mari. "Their blood can be used to finish up the portal." Jungkook instantly grabs on to Mari and pulls her close. "As for the rest of you, I've had enough."

You look around and see the demons begin to encircle you. There are tons of them, more than you can even count, with even more emerging from the woods, and you start to panic. Many of them appeared human, but some were deformed black monsters that filled you with fear.

"Kill them." She spins around and begins to walk away.

The group quickly starts to charge at you, and the boys get into defense. A man jumps at Taehyung, but he quickly dodges his attack and shoves him to the side before getting in a hard punch. You feel a hard tug on your arm, causing you to lose your footing as someone starts to drag you away, and you try to fight to get you on your feet.

"Taehyung!" you shout, and he quickly runs over and grabs the man's arm, pulling him off and kicking the demon in the stomach, causing him to scream in pain.

"Are you okay?" Taehyung sits you back up and puts his hands on your shoulders.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Mari?" You look around frantically for your friend.
