MERCENARY 3: Descent into Madness |BTS JIMIN FF|

86

JIMIN POV

I can't sleep. It's almost 3 in the morning, and all I can do is watch her breathe in and out. She's sprawled over my chest, face comfortably resting in the dip of my shoulder, her arm around my waist.

The entire day had been on repeat in my mind. She let me in closer. She let me please her, and she didn't shy away from it. Hell, she pleased me right back. That was an even bigger shock.

She is so very incredibly strong. The mental fortitude this woman has in unreal. And the hold she has on me should be illegal.

I was peacefully observing the love of my life, thrilled that there were no signs of a nightmare, but she rustled and woke up.

Her eyes squinted open, and she said one word. 'Water.'

Dry, hoarse throat, messy hair, and pouty lips... she was the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

'I'll bring you some. I'll be back in a minute.' I whispered back and kissed the top of her head before slithering out of the bed

'Come back fast.' She grumbled, making my chest feel so damn tight with joy

'I will. I promise.' I smiled and left another kiss on her forehead, earning a cute hum in return

Closing the door behind me gently, I melted with the shadows and the quiet of the hallway. It's the middle of the night. Peace. Quiet. Too quiet. It's almost eerie.

Something like a shiver slid up my spine, and I looked around myself in the darkness, but there's obviously not a thing. Unless Namjoon is walking around with a book, or Gyumin is sneaking Hella in his room.

Water. My wife needs water. I reminded myself and went on, reaching the stairs ahead in only a few, quiet steps.

I was halfway down when a shadow played across the wall on my right, and my head whipped to the left window where the source of the light outside was casting it. I stared and stared at the window, slowly descending down completely.

Get out!

That little voice in my head that I've had ever since I was 12 was screaming at me, and another chill went up my spine.

Hella suddenly started growling at something, slowly raising from her bed and making her way around the sofa. Her paws tapped on the wooden floor as she approached the window on the right, now snarling at it. Another shadow ran across the light in front, and I didn't need to stick around. Someone's here.

'Hella!' I hissed her name and she instantly ran to me, both of us sprinting up the stairs

I banged on every door I passed by, slamming once on Jin's, Yoongi's and Taehyung's as they're the closest, then sprinted into our room.

'Rain!' I shook her a bit too hard, but there's no easy way to wake her up. 'Rain, we need to go!'

'Jimin, what's-'

'They're here.'

Like slapped, she jumped out of the bed and started putting on clothes in a hurry, while noises came from the hall.

'The fuck?' Yoongi grumbled outside

'I thought it was you.' Jin muttered back sleepily

I ran out, still halway putting on my clothes. 'House is surrounded. You have less than a minute.'

Like flies, they ran back into their rooms in quiet panic and not a single question, while I ran down the hall and woke the rest of them up as fast as I could.
