Shadows Of The Maknae

Chapter 8: The Standoff

Y/N's POV

The next morning I woke up, rubbing my eyes as I pushed myself off the bed. I was about to go to the bathroom when I heard voices outside Jungkook's room. I decided to press my ear against the door, curiosity getting the best of me as I was wondering what they were talking about.

"Jungkook, I got the intel." That was Namjoon, his very low and serious. "The mission is a go. We need to move quickly."

"But I can't leave Y/N. She can't be left alone because I don't trust her at the moment."

"But I don't think she should go... it might be dangerous for her." Namjoon said with concern in his tone.

"I don't care. She's coming with me. Gather up the members so we can have a meeting about this mission."

I couldn't stay here, I needed to see Jimin and talk to him. Just as I was about to place my hand on the doorknob, it jiggled, making me jump away from the door. I immediately sat on the bed, pulling a nearby book quickly as I pretended to read. Jungkook then came in, looking a bit distressed and running a hand through his hair.

"Hey Jungkook. Is breakfast ready yet?" Jungkook narrowed his eyebrow, curious as to what I was up too.

"Yeah, actually. The other members are already downstairs eating. You can go join, I just need to do something in my study." Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck, clearly nervous. What the hell was going on?

"Ok thanks." I said simply as I threw my book down onto the bed. I quickly got up and ran to find Jimin. I peaked downstairs to see if he was in the main lounge, but thankfully, he wasn't. So I ran down the hallway towards his room and banged on the door as my anxiety started to rise.

"Jimin, please let me in!" After a few knocks, Jimin opened the door with a look of concern on his face.

"Y/N, what's wrong? What's happening?" I then also noticed that Taehyung had appeared behind him, wondering what was going on.

"Jimin, Taehyung, we have to talk, it's important." Jimin looked over with concern at Taehyung. Jimin then opened the door for me to let me in. I sat on his bed, placing my hands on my lap. I was heaving slightly since I felt out of breath from running as well as my nerves.

"I overheard Namjoon and Jungkook guys. There's an upcoming mission, a possibly dangerous one. But Jungkook said he would force me to go." Taehyung's eyes widen upon hearing the news.

"We need to keep you safe. We won't let anything dangerous happen to you Y/N."

There was then a knock on the door making us all shut up. I swallowed hard, gripping my hands tightly as I saw that it was Jungkook who came through the door. I know I'm not supposed to be with Jimin now because of what happened, but I was too nervous to be alone. Before Jungkook could react, I ran out of the room, trying to avoid him at all cost.

"Y/N! Get back here!" Jungkook shouted as he was making his way towards me. I ran back into Jungkook's room, slamming the door behind me and holding the doorknob as tightly as I could so Jungkook wouldn't be able to get in.

"Y/N, we don't have time for this, we have to go. Open the damn door!" I could hear some rustling on the other side of the door.

"You can't take her on this mission Jungkook. She's not ready and we won't let you." I could hear Jimin as he was frustrated and angry at Jungkook.

"We need everyone on this mission Jimin. There's no way around it. Y/N open the damn door!" I looked around the room, trying to find an escape route, but there was none. The window was too high in this room and I couldn't risk jumping. My only option was to stay in this room as Jimin and Taehyung tried to control Jungkook somehow.
