The Missing Piece

16. Back Home

Namjoon's POV

Walking on the deserted road, her unconscious body in my arms, her hand hanging down.

The sun was up in the sky it's harsh rays emitting heat enough to melt ice in a few seconds. I was sweating, my throat parched and exhausted.

The past few days have taken a toll on my health the reason being RM controlling my body. He didn't take care of it, he drank and ate the bare minimum thus my this state.

But I can't give up, I need to get us both back to headquarters. Her bruised body is wrapped up in my uniform, my hat resting on her face to avoid her getting sunburned while I am in my uniform under shirt and cargo pants. I had barely controlled myself when I came back and saw her in that state.

I knew what was happening but couldn't help any of it. I could just watch from the back of my mind and bare the pain of what I, myself was inflicting on my heart. On the person my heart beats for, on the person I was alive for.

All these years of planning my attack on her, went to drain when I saw her chained and that helplessness within her eyes. But RM wasn't the one to quit, he was a part of me but his heart never beats with mine. He is a dangerous psychopath who could do anything and everything he wants.

It was my strong y/n who defeated RM into backing away. She was the one who helped me out, by...by showing... by showing what no one knew about her.

She was...

I hurts to even say it...

She was sexually assaulted...

And yet she stands strong and brave, being the Ace of our military academy making me so much prouder of her for surviving and becoming the best.

My steps turned heavy, taking a step was becoming harder and harder. My breathing also turned ragged, and as if all the energy from my body was drained I fell on my knees covering y/n with my whole body. Protecting her from any harm.

I wish I never let her go, I wish I was always there for her even if I myself was hurting enough to die.

Maybe being there for her would have changed her or shielded her from the harms that she went through. Just like I am doing now, shielding her with my body so that nothing hurts her.

I will bare all the pain for her, like I did back then.

Maybe this is what love is... Forgetting your own pain for the sake of your loved one.

I looked through the stranded area, the scorching heat of the sun blinding my vision. An eagle cried in the sky and through vast bumps of dry land I tried searching for a shade,

Please...

Just one shed to stay a night at...

But alas...

This is our fate, dying here on the road, stranded and alone. I fell on my chest, pulling her body closer to mine, kissing her forhead... thinking that this might be our last moment. I was slipping into unconsciousness when I noticed a truck coming our way. Weakly holding my hand up I signaled for it to stop.

The last thing I remember was the truck driver getting off.

Y/n's POV

It has been a month since we arrived back from that place.

And I can't believe we made it back home safe and sound. Our headquarters the place we call home. We have achieved our dreams of becoming powerful and fighting for our country by risking our lives. This risk gives me the adrenaline boost to defeat those who meant harm towards our people.
