The road stretched endlessly ahead, disappearing into the dark as Taehyung's car sped down the empty highway. The tires screeched against the asphalt, slicing through the flickering streetlights. His grip on the steering wheel was tight as the cold wind whipped past, but the only sound he could hear was Y/n's soft sobs against his chest.

She refused to leave him, so he had to place her on his lap as he drove. Her breaths were uneven, her body was cold, and she was clinging to him with a desperation that made his heart sting.

"I... I'm s-scared"

He was, too.

Hella scared..

He had gone through hell, but nothing, not even the worst moments of his life, had ever made him feel this kind of fear.

"I... it's... hurting..." she whimpered. Her fingers twisted the fabric of his shirt in her fists as if holding onto him would somehow stop the pain.

Taehyung's jaw clenched, his heart twisted painfully as he tightened his grip on the wheel.

"We'll be there soon. Just hold on for me.. " He murmured softly, pressing her closer, eyes focused on the dark road ahead as he sped up.

His gaze shifted to the rearview mirror for a quick glance, but what he saw in the reflection made his heart freeze completely.

A line of black cars was trailing him in the distance. Their headlights cut through the dark, closing in on his car. They weren't his guards.

And definitely not something that could be dismissed as a coincidence.

His breath stopped, but then a deadly wrath surged through his veins, turning his eyes lethal.

"Fuck," he growled under his breath, gripping the wheel tighter before slamming his foot on the accelerator. The engine roared as his car sped forward, leaving the cars behind in the dust.

His jaw clenched as he saw the cars still in pursuit as his hand shot to his phone, fingers dialing swiftly before he tossed it aside and put in his earpiece.

The line barely rang before the person picked up.

"Boss-"

"Where the fuck are you?!" Taehyung barked, his eyes darting frantically between the road and the approaching cars. Y/n flinched at his angry voice, and clutched him tighter.

"I think they were the ones following you.." Alex's voice crackled through the speaker, tight with urgency and panic.

"I need a shield on my car. Now!" He snarled, his deadly gaze locked on the road ahead.

"We're almost there. Give us a few minutes." Alex assured as Taehyung took a sharp turn and sped up, his speedometer climbing higher and higher, but he kept his attention on the mirror, and as expected, all the cars appeared in the distance, taking same turns as him.

He grunted lowkey, but deep inside, something shivered to his core.

He kept driving, trying to stay calm and as he took another turn, several of his own cars appeared in the distance, closing in fast and within a minute surrounded his car, forming a barrier around him.

Taehyung exhaled through his nose, forcing himself to stay calm. He could handle this. He had to.

"They're going to attack.." Alex uttered in alarm from the other line, causing Taehyung's eyes to flicker back to the mirror, and his heart flipped when he spotted the guns aimed from the windows of the enemy car.
