THIRTY-SEVEN

"So, Namjoon was the head of all?" Y/n asked.

"Was? He still is. And you know what the greatest thing is; he is fucking immortal." Taehyung replied while Y/n's eyes grew as wide as a hockey ball.

"Did- did you just say immortal?" Y/n asked dramatically while Taehyung nodded. "Is that even real? I mean, these things actually exist?"

"They do Y/n but they are very few in number."

"But- isn't it like- like everything is temporary in this world?" Y/n questioned her brother.

"It is, Y/n; it is. Everything and everyone has an end but it's just that we don't know how to end it." Taehyung replied while sighing.

"So, you mean that you don't want this tribe to survive?"

"Hell no, sis! Although I have been a part of this for sixteen years now and you can say that I have adapted to that environment and that culture and now I do feel uncomfortable living outside that place but I still don't want this thing to continue. This is just totally absurd. You know, when I joined their tribe, they promised that they won't harm my family; as in they actually promised all of us that if we stay loyal to them, they would never harm our families, and trust me that was the reason I continued with this for so long, but now that he killed my family and his eyes are on you now, I wouldn't let this pass."

"So it was Namjoon that killed mom, dad, and gran?" Y/n questioned and Taehyung nodded as a reply.

"I honestly don't know why he did so. He is a man of his words and I really trusted him." Y/n could sense the betrayal that her brother went through and how much it hurt him.

"But why did he spare me then? Like-"

"I have already told you this Y/n; he fell in love with you. His eyes are on you because he wants you for himself and I don't want that at any cost." Taehyung replied while looking at Y/n who was snuggled in her brother's arms. "I'll protect you; I promise." he said.

"Just like the best brother you are!" Y/n said while passing a small smile to Taehyung.

"Just like the best brother I am!" Taehyung sweetly repeated Y/n's words while looking at her with complete adoration.

Taehyung quickly placed a small peck on his sister's forehead and that way they both fell into a deep slumber. For the first time in sixteen years, Taehyung felt like he was at home and after their parent's death, for the first time, Y/n felt like she was safe and protected in her brother's arms. These two fell asleep while hugging each other in peace and completely having no idea that Namjoon was also present in the room; listening to all their talks.

-----

Waking up in the morning, the very first thing that hit Y/n's head was that she literally slept in her brother's arms after ages but the room was totally empty when she woke up. It was still quite early in the morning and she did not understand why her brother would leave without informing her. Roaming her eyes around the room, she noticed a small note kept under the night lamp on the bedside table. She reached her hand out to grab and read it while still being half asleep. The note was from Taehyung and he had asked her not to leave the hotel until eleven in the morning. He also mentioned that he was going back to their house on the other side of the river and if he does not return, she is safe to go back to her flat and in case he did return before eleven, it would mean that Y/n was in some sort of trouble. Keeping the note in its place as it was, Y/n let out a sigh while falling asleep again.

She woke up around ten in the morning and waited for her brother to arrive. She knew that if Taehyung did not return by eleven, she was supposed to leave and therefore, without wasting much time, she packed a few things that she used the previous night and got ready to leave. As it was a holiday for her at work, she was a bit relaxed thinking that she did not have to go to work.

As Y/n was sitting on the bed, she continuously kept looking at the clock; waiting for it to hit eleven so that she can go back to her flat. Her wait was soon over though and as soon as the clock hit eleven and she did not see any sign of Taehyung, she almost ran out of the hotel. She did not want to stay there a moment longer and was longing to go back home.

Getting out of the hotel, she was met with a much-unexpected face; it was Jungkook. He was standing with his group of friends in front of the hotel and suddenly he seemed to happen to look at Y/n.

"Hi, Y/n. What are you doing here?" Jungkook asked while all his friends turned their gaze towards Y/n.

"Hello, Jungkook! I- I actually had some work here; that's why." Y/n replied after slightly bowing to his friends who bowed in return with big smiles on their faces.

"Oh, so are you heading home now?" Jungkook questioned and Y/n nodded in reply. "Great then! You can come with me; I am heading home as well."

"Hey, just go with him already; don't think much. He has already spent the whole night talking about you and made our ears bleed." one of Jungkook's friends spoke when he noticed how Y/n was thinking about whether she should accept Jungkook's offer or not.

"Yug!?" Jungkook dramatically looked at his best friend, Yugyeom who was busy spilling the tea about him.

"What? Don't deny the fact that all night you talked about her Jeon." another tall and handsome-looking guy spoke up while the others laughed out loud but on the other hand, Jungkook was almost on the verge of dying of embarrassment.

"Can you guys just stop? Eunwoo, pleeease?" Jungkook whined while the others laughed like maniacs. Y/n felt her cheeks heat up as she was blushing so very much after hearing that Jungkook had talked about her to his friends.

"Okay! Alright, guys stop teasing him. You guys may leave; we won't stop you anymore but there's one thing that you should know Y/n; this guy really likes you." another of Jungkook's friends spoke up.

"Aish, Jae please just stop. We'll get going now. Shall we, Y/n?" Jungkook asked Y/n with a small smile and they made their way to Jungkook's car after bidding their goodbyes.
