Family [BTS mafia ff]

61 | Questions

'Can I ask you a question?' Seokjin asked, glancing over at me for a brief second as we cruised along the road. We were trying our best to get as far as possible from Gwangju considering the limited fuel the car had remaining.

I nodded slowly, signaling him to speak.

'How come you were never afraid of joining Bangtan? Like some former and even present members were terrified to join us, they refused constantly.' Seokjin said, furrowing his brows. He seems serious about this question.

'Damn I didn't expect that question coming... I thought you'd ask me out!' I chuckled, nudging him with my elbow.

'Oh are you saying I should shoot my shot? Well I'd rather ask you out where either of us are not being chased by a bunch of crazy bastards and are currently wanted by some crazy man who calls himself a father.' Seokjin scoffed. He leaned forward in his seat before promptly sitting back down in his seat.

'Fair point.'
'So what's your answer then?' He said, clearly sounding quite desperate for a reply.

I hung my head low, gathering a suitable response to his question.
'Hmm well to be honest, you guys didn't seem that scary at first glance. I mean Hoseok and Jimin didn't really leave that formidable impression when I met them., you know' I responded with a shrug.

Seokjin nodded, 'But even then, you weren't scared of joining this random group of people, after leaving your family and all?'

'Firstly, fuck that family. My foster parents didn't even have a slight bit of interest in me. In fact, I'd sometimes catch them talking about how I was some bad influence on their son.' I explained, rubbing the back of my neck.

'Wow that's rude, maybe we should've taken you in much earlier.' Seokjin laughed light-heartedly, in attempt to balance out the air between us.

'Even though they never cared about me, I loved my younger brother to bits. We had only a year difference but he meant a lot to me. I never would have survived that shitty life without him.' I added on.

Seokjin turned to look at me with a small frown. 'You told me about him before, about missing him.'

I gave him a weak smile. 'My brother passed away a week before I got the scar. He was beaten so badly that he died once at the hospital. Ever since then, my parents started acted liked they cared for me. Only to fill the gaping hole of their missing child, their real child.' I sighed.

Seokjin pulled the brakes and gazed at me with a tender and solemn look on his face. He held the sides of my arms before pulling me into a hug. 'I'm sorry you went through so much, I really am.' He whispered softly into my ear.

'It feels good to let it all out.. thank you for listening to me.' I said, fumbling around with my hands.

He pulled back and continued to drive down the road. 'If you're ok with answering, why was your brother beaten up?'

'My brother was gay.' I replied bluntly and Seokjin's eyes widened.
'That's literally the stupidest reason, not that there needs to be a reason for being bullied!' He exclaimed passionately.

'Well that was their reason. Every time I'd defend my brother even if it went to using violence against them. They pissed me off so much.' I muttered, holding back my anger. Thinking of those assailants made my blood boil and thinking of my brother never failed to my heart ache.

'You could also say that all those times I fought back, prepared me to join Bangtan. Whether or not I had to use my skills against you guys.' I laughed quietly.

'You already do though.' Seokjin argued and both of us laughed at his remark.

'Well that's why I was prepared to move in with you guys, start a new fresh life instead of being a simple replacement.' I finished off explaining and Seokjin hummed in comprehension.

'Since you revealed your reason, I'll tell you the reason why we never appeared to be formidable in your eyes.' He said, with air quotation marks.
'Go on.' I responded, curious in hearing his answer.

He cleared his throat and started talking. 'For starters, Namjoon warned us to be welcoming to you since he justified that you guys were cousins... although Yoongi didn't get that notice. But I suppose he wanted to test you.'

I grinned, thinking back to the time when Yoongi hated my guts. 'So Namjoon was always aware I lived there.. which means he came over on purpose not because my parents sold me?' I asked, putting two and two together.

Seokjin was about to say something but suddenly the rear windscreen came crashing into the car. Fragments of glass shooting towards us in the front seats.

I gasped and Seokjin quickly stepped on the pedal. We drove as fast as possible but the loud roaring of guns firing deafened our ears and the bright flashing of the guns blinded our vision.

'They found us, fuck!!' I yelled, rolling my hands into a fist.
Seokjin continued driving as fast as he could but with the lack of fuel it was difficult to escape.

All of a sudden, it seemed like everything was happening in slow-mo.

A single metallic bullet soared through the broken window and in our direction.

The bullet brushed past Seokjin's right ear and punched it's way through the front windscreen. Glass came crashing down in our faces and both of us ducked trying to avoid the shards of glass landing on us. Seokjin screamed in pain, clutching his ear. Blood came gushing out and Seokjin winced, letting go of the wheel.

'Seokjin!!' I cried out. Swiftly, I took the wheel from my seat. 'Seokjin, I know it sounds impossible but please step on the gas pedal!' I shouted. He gave a small nod and stepped hard on the wheel.

I directed the car down a narrow road, hoping whoever was chasing us will be slowed down. I quickly scanned the car and spotted the red emergency brake button and pressed it. The car halted to a stop.

I gasped for air. But it lasted only a few seconds as the attacker's cars pulled up behind us.

Everything went silent as I watched intently at the rear view mirror. Someone stepped out of the car and moved towards the blue car we were inside of.

My eyes widened in shock to see the person that made their way closer to us.
