Reflection

Thirty-Two

It was dark, the smell of rain was in the air and Yoongi hoped that it didn't storm before he found Namjoon. He still didn't know what was going on with Taehyung, if he was safe, if he was hurt, or if he was even alive for that matter, but what he did know was that right now he had a distraught hybrid on his hands and if they were going to get anything done he needed to handle this first. Namjoon seemed to be really good at hiding - which he honestly should have known considering - but with no tracks left behind and no scent to go off of, it left Yoongi wandering around the surrounding woods uselessly, trying to pick up anything remotely tall and skinny or wild enough to be his hair.

Soon enough, as the minutes ticked by, the rain that had been building up in the clouds above them started to fall heavily from the sky in thick sheets. This was both a good and a bad thing. Good because now footprints would show up better and he could already make out some sort of trail that Namjoon must have made in his escape, but bad because with them being so high up on a mountain like this, it was dangerous for even them.

Picking his way through the foliage and trees the sound of sniffling sounded heavily in his ears amongst the sounds of rain and thunder. Going towards the source of the sound, Yoongi soon came to a small ledge overlooking a cliff... with Namjoon standing close to the edge.

Great...

This was not good...

Looks like this was the day that Yoongi was going to have to be super emotional because not only did he have to have a heart to heart with Taehyung TWICE today, but now he was going to have talk Namjoon off of the ledge and doing something reckless. He really didn't sign up for this, and honestly he could walk away right now, but Jin would have his head if he did that and part of him would feel guilty despite the fact that killing himself now might actually be a kinder fate then what is waiting for him in the future.

But... He couldn't do just nothing...

Namjoon must have smelled him because he turned his head slightly to look over his shoulder, his eyes blank and expression troubling as he cried. It was as if he was seeing him without actually seeing him.

"Namjoon," The hybrid didn't move, still seeing him without seeing him and Yoongi took a tentative step forward, "I just want to talk," The others shoulders hunched up towards his ears and Yoongi menatlly cursed himself, "I won't hurt you, your not in trouble, but please," He slowly offered his hand towards him, "Please take my hand. I promise it's all going to be okay."

For a moment, he really thought that Namjoon was going to take it, instead though he dropped himself over the ledge and he had no choice but to dive down deep into the dirt. With as much speed as he could muster he raced towards the lower edge of the cliff and managed to grab Namjoon before he could fall to his death in the treeline below, pulling him into the dirt with him and back out towards the upper world again, clinging onto the thrashing hybrid in his arms tightly and not letting him budge an inch. Yoongi didn't even let him go as he had dragged them both into a small opening in the side of the mountain, it wasn't a cave, but it was dry and solid and it would be the perfect place for them to talk.

Still not letting Namjoon go, no matter how hard he squirmed to get away, he sat them both down, locked the hybrids legs with his own and kept his arms locked firmly around Namjoons as well as his torso. "WHY!"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LET ME FALL!"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LET ME DIE!"

"I DON'T WANT THIS!"

"I DON'T WANT ANY OF THIS!"

"JUST LET ME DIE!"

He was sobbing hard, trying to pull Yoongi's arms off of him but he only held onto him harder, "WHY!" Slowly the fight drained out of him, and he slumped boneless altogether, sobbing hysterically as Yoongi gradually started to rock him like he would a small child, humming softly in order to help him calm down.
