Captain Jeon 'Since 1894' | Alternative Ending |

101

It was around 9 in the eve, and Tae was still looking at the mirror.

He was thinking of what was happening in the future, or how was his family
there? His aunt? His younger brother?

He sighed, he missed them, so much.—

But he was still wondering, how could he take over that other Taehyung like
how he did earlier?

Or is that other Tae still doing fine there?

Thoughts were a mess on his head, but who can blame him? Everythings a mess now.—

The parting of the tent opened, the light of the moon shone inside.

“How are you doing now?” Jungkook asked, stepping inside and sitting beside Tae.

“I’m doing quite fine...for now.” He sadly said, fidgeting the mirror. He feels a bit anxious.—

“What...actually happened earlier?” Jungkook carefully asked, not wanting to press the wrong buttons that can make Tae feel more anxious.

“I think, every time he’s trying to control me, my head aches. And it hurts so bad.”—

“But thank you for helping me out awhile ago, I know you could solve the
riddle.”

Jungkook looks distracted, he was just holding Tae’s hand, caressing it. And
he’s quietly staring at the blank.

Tae knew there was something wrong.—

He held his hand too, and that made Jungkook jump out of his thoughts.

“Something you wanna tell me?” He asked. And Jungkook thought, that
maybe he’s bad at hiding his emotions when it comes to Taehyung.

He just make him feel so weak and soft.—
“I just...I feel like exploding.” Jungkook started.

“With what happened earlier, I feel like they all suspect me now, that they don’t trust me anymore. I think I’m really a bad leader af—”

Tae squeezed his hands tight that It made Jungkook flinch. “Ouch!”—

Jungkook cried. “Don’t you ever say that again because its not true! If you’re a bad leader then you could’ve not brought us this far!”

Tae knew Jungkook would doubt himself after that, and he just hate that he doesn’t realize his worth.

The younger sighed.—

“I’m so tired hyung, I wanna cry.”

Jungkook leaned his head onto Tae’s shoulder, and hugged his arm.

Tae felt the pain in there, he forgot that Jungkook is also a person. Who’s meant to get tired, to do stupid things and to have limits.

And that makes us a person.—

“I have a lot in my head, I feel so angry that my anger turns to tears. I hate being pressured, & all my life I was. I’m trying to act tough because I don’t want my people to see their own Captain in a weak state.”

Tae felt the cloth on his shoulder getting wet. He’s crying.—

Tae had no words, he just let him cry like that and hold his hands to comfort
him.

They both fell asleep in that state, thinking that everything would be less
worse tomorrow.

But tomorrow hasn’t even came and yet its getting even worse.—

An explosion was heard from outside the tent, and the trainees were making a
fuss outside.

Sounds of gunshots, knives, swords and groans were heard.
