Bridges and Boundaries / Kim Taehyung

Chapter 35

A dark cloud loomed over her life. Louis had become increasingly obsessive and possessive, his frustrations evident in his interactions with her. Despite her attempts to distance herself, he had not relented.

That evening, Y/N arrived home to find that Ara was not in her usual spot. Panic gripped her heart as she searched the apartment, but her daughter was nowhere to be found. It was then that she received a chilling text from Louis: "If you ever want to see Ara again, you need to come to the old warehouse on the edge of town. Come alone, or she'll be hurt."

Heart racing, Y/N immediately contacted Taehyung, her voice trembling as she explained the situation. Taehyung's face turned ashen with worry. Without hesitation, he gathered his closest friends—Jungkook, Jimin, RM, and Suga—and they set out for the warehouse, determined to rescue Ara and Y/N.

Inside the warehouse, Louis was ranting at Y/N, attempting to convince her that they belonged together. His volatile state and the presence of his henchmen made the situation incredibly dangerous.

"Why won't you just be with me?" Louis demanded, his voice echoing in the cavernous space. "You'll see, Y/N. You'll realize you're better off with me."

Y/N, bound and terrified, tried to stay strong. "You're not going to win this, Louis. Taehyung will come for me. He won't let you get away with this."

The warehouse, a decrepit structure on the outskirts of town, loomed ominously as they approached. The dilapidated building seemed to echo their fears. Taehyung and his friends carefully planned their approach, aware of the danger they faced. They needed to act swiftly but cautiously.

Inside the warehouse, the air was thick with tension. Louis, looking increasingly unstable, held Ara in his arms. Y/N was restrained nearby, her eyes filled with fear and determination. The sight of Taehyung and his friends entering the warehouse brought a glimmer of hope to her eyes.

"Louis!" Taehyung called out, his voice echoing through the cavernous space. "Let them go. This has to stop now."

Louis's eyes narrowed as he glared at Taehyung. "You think you can just waltz in here and take them from me? You've ruined everything! She was supposed to be mine!"

The standoff quickly escalated into chaos. Taehyung and his friends moved in to confront Louis, trying to subdue him without causing harm to Ara or Y/N. Jungkook and Jimin worked together to disarm Louis, while RM and Suga focused on freeing Y/N and ensuring Ara's safety.

In the midst of the struggle, Louis pulled out a gun, his desperation making him even more dangerous. He fired a shot in a panic, and the sound of the gunshot echoed through the warehouse. Y/N screamed as she felt a sharp pain in her leg, collapsing onto the ground.

Taehyung's heart sank as he saw Y/N fall. His focus shifted to her, and with renewed determination, he and his friends intensified their efforts to subdue Louis. The struggle was intense, but Taehyung's resolve and his friends' support helped them gain the upper hand.

Jungkook managed to wrestle the gun from Louis's hand, and Jimin quickly tackled him to the ground. With Louis restrained and unable to pose further threat, Taehyung rushed to Y/N's side, his hands shaking as he checked her injury.

The pain in Y/N's leg was excruciating, but she tried to stay conscious as Taehyung cradled her. "Stay with me, Y/N. Help is on the way," he said, his voice choked with emotion.

Jimin called 911 while RM and Suga provided first aid to Y/N, trying to control the bleeding. The minutes felt like hours as they waited for the ambulance to arrive. Taehyung's worry for Y/N and Ara was palpable, his mind racing with fear and guilt.
