I'll Protect You, Maknae||TaeKook FF ✓

Chapter 13.

"So a beating wasn't enough, was it?!" Jungkook and Taehyung awoke to the sound of the Master screaming at them. They both immediately realized they had accidentally fallen asleep on the ground in the night. And it was already daytime out. They had no idea what time it was or how long they'd been asleep, all they knew was that falling asleep was the last thing they should have done.

Jungkook and Taehyung looked at eachother and could feel the absolute terror reigning through both their bodies. They didn't have to speak to know what the other was thinking.

Oh.No.

They stared up at the Master from their places on the ground. Taehyung spoke up first.

"I...we...we're sorry!" Taehyung cried. Jungkook nodded in agreement.

"It was an accident!" Jungkook screamed. He looked at Taehyung as his body filled with worry for not only himself but also for his hyung. Taehyung was covered in dried blood from the whipping he'd gotten. While Jungkook was also bleeding from his whipping, he still knew Taehyung had it worse. He couldn't imagine his hyung having to take on another beating so quickly, if that's what was to come next.

The Master grabbed both of them by the hair and pulled them to their feet. They both screamed in pain and tried to pry the mans hands off of them, but he started dragging them towards the house.

"That is IT! I am going to show you two what really happens when you disobey my orders!"

"Please! No! It was an accident! It only happened once, it won't happen again. It'll never ever happen again!" Taehyung pleaded as he was dragged towards the house.

Jungkook couldn't hold in his anger. "Maybe if you hadn't beaten us, we would have been able to get more damn work done!"

Taehyung felt like time stopped and he was watching life from some distant point of view when he saw his maknae get slammed into the ground and kicked in the face.

"Ahh!" Jungkook screamed when the shoe collided with his skull. Flashes of light exploded in his vision and he had an instant headache. He started crying hard as the Master grabbed his hair again and pulled him back to his feet and continued to drag them into the house.

The two quickly figured that this was it for them. They were going to be dragged inside to be beaten, or murdered.

Jungkook clutched his head in pain and winced with every step. Having his hair pulled as he was dragged made his headache a million times worse.

The Master said nothing.

They didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing.

They were dragged to their room and locked inside.

Jungkook turned to Taehyung. "I don't understand. He said he was going to show us what happens when we disobey. Why were we put in here?" He pouted as he made his way and sat on the bed. Taehyung sat next to him.

"I don't know," Taehyung whispered. He was feeling very frustrated and weak and scared. His anxiety picked up as he thought of what might be done to them. He didn't want to see Jungkook get hurt again, and he sure didn't want to get hurt again. He clutched his side and winced when a sharp pain went through it.

"Taehyung!" Jungkook cried. He pulled his hyung into a hug. "Is it still bleeding?" He asked about the slash on Taehyungs side that had been bleeding a lot earlier. They both checked it and thankfully it was no longer bleeding, but he was very bruised. Jungkook looked away with a choked sob.

"He can't do this to you again," Jungkook cried. "You can't handle another beating. It will kill you." Jungkook's heart grew sick with worry. It killed him not knowing what the Master planned to do with them after being caught sleeping outside. Jungkook placed his hand on Taehyung's chest and pushed him down onto the bed. "Lay down, you need to rest."
