Martyr | Yoonmin [1] (unedited)

chapter 62

Yoongi craned his neck left and right, sighing heavily, and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Maybe he should get something to eat. Jungkook has been asleep for a few days, and the nurse wouldn't come in for another hour. He stretched and groaned from his sore muscles.

"Yoongi," a voice croaked from the bed.

Yoongi stood from the chair and rushed over to Jungkook's side. He grabbed the younger boy's reaching hand and sat on the bed next to him. Jungkook blinked slowly, looking around the room. Yoongi gave him a comforting smile. "Hey," he whispered.

"What happened?" Jungkook's voice trembled with fear, his eyes scanning the room wildly. The corner of his eyes pooled with tears. "What's going on?"

Yoongi looked down at his fingers where he chewed his nails to the point where his fingers stung. He had been so worried about Jungkook since he woke up. He felt guilty, and he was ashamed of himself for not protecting the younger boy.

"Jungkook," Yoongi felt the other boy squeeze his hand. "I'm sorry this is happening,"

"Are the others here too?" He asked.

"Namjoon and Jimin are here at the facility," Yoongi answered. "Taehyung too,"

Jungkook looked like a scared child. "Hoseok?"

"I don't know where he is," Yoongi whispered. "Or where Jin is either,"

Jungkook rubbed his face with his free hand, and Yoongi could hear him sob quietly. Yoongi rubbed his thumb across Jungkook's hand.

"What happened?" Yoongi asked. He was hesitant to ask, feared the worst.

"I don't know. We were just walking," Jungkook answered. "And then we turned a corner, and they had us. They shouted at us to get down and put our hands behind our back. I remember looking at Hoseok before everything went back."

"Do you think it was the men from the Facility?" Yoongi questioned.

Jungkook shook his head. "I don't know. If they're not here, I don't know who else would attack us."

Yoongi chewed his lip. "I don't know either."

Jungkook looked up at him. "I can feel it, you know,"

Yoongi yanked his hand back and clasped his hands together as if Jungkook had burned or shocked him. When Yoongi had pulled back, Jungkook seemed to relax as if Yoongi's emotions had spread into Jungkook. The tension within his body seemed to release immediately. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm still learning everything again,"

Yoongi looked Jungkook in the eyes. He could see into Jungkook's mind a clear flashback of the events in the room where they were strapped down on the chairs. A memory both of them wished they would forget.

"You wanted to see me, sir," Yoongi stated as he stood in front of Felix's desk. The other man was writing on a notepad, scribbling down words Yoongi couldn't read.

"Yes, thank you for coming," Felix began, and he set down the pen. "How are you?"

Yoongi wanted to laugh, and he almost did. He wasn't sure how Felix would react if he laughed. He nodded his head. "I'm fine now,"

"With Taehyung's help, you healed pretty quickly," Felix continued. Yoongi shifted under his feet. He felt uncomfortable as Felix seemed to stare at him, studying him. "Jimin is going on his first mission,"

Yoongi knew he failed to control his emotions. Felix could feel all of it - his fear and anger. "With Taehyung?"

"Yes, but..." Felix trailed off, staring into Yoongi's eyes. "I want you to become his partner, Taehyung will tag along,"
