THE PURGE || BTS EDITION

Chapter 5: Everything Will Be Ok

Yoongi's P.O.V.

The search for supplies in the store didn't end well, as it had already been ransacked by robbers. Still, we managed to find a few water bottles and a couple granola bars. Ravs told us it was extremely important for Namjoon to stay hydrated while he was recovering. He was doing slightly better, his breathing was returning to normal and the color was returning to his face. Jin hyung refused to leave his side.

As I stared at Namjoon and Jin, I felt a hand tap my shoulder. I turned around, face-to-face with Ravs as she smiled up at me. "We're gonna be here for a while, so I figure I'd cash in on my favor for saving your life." She said smirking. I looked at her, my brows furrowing in confusion. "The story!" She whined out.

"Oh... Um... Sure..." I said, regretting the promise. "Follow me." I said, motioning to one of the nearby rooms. She looked at me confused. "The guys don't know, and I'd like to keep it that way. It's top secret information." I said playfully, trying to make light of the information I was about to tell her. She rolled her eyes and followed, closing the door behind us.

I took a deep breath and prepared myself to open up to the woman before me.

Jimin's P.O.V.

I opened my eyes to pitch blackness. My head was throbbing and my whole body felt weak. I moved to stand up from the chair I was sitting on, but was immediately tugged back down by the rope around my legs and arms.

"Taehyung...? Jungkook...?" I yelled out. My voice echoed throughout the room, but there was no response. I tried to remember what had happened before I woke up, but my pounding head couldn't recall.

I heard a door swing open and flinched as the lights were turned on, illuminating the whole room. Looking around, I saw pipes lining the walls, water dripping from them. No windows, no furniture, nothing except for me and the burly man that had just walked in.

"Look who's awake." He said as he walked over to me. I couldn't help but notice the shining piece of metal in his hand- a crowbar. "Maybe you'll be more cooperative than your friends." He said chuckling.

My heart began to sting as I imagined Jungkook and Taehyung locked away in a room somewhere. And then I remembered the girl, Kylie, who I had helped save, only for her to be taken by some douchebags.

"What the hell do you want with us?" I spat out.

"Where are the girls?" The voice asked. "Kylie and Ravs? You see, Ryan has some unfinished business with them."

"I don't know who you're talking about." I spat out sarcastically. In a second, the crowbar made contact with my ribs, knocking the wind out of me and leaving me gasping for air.

"Don't fucking lie to me." I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the next hit for the words I was about to speak.

"I'm not telling you anything. Go fuck yourselves." I said, spitting at the guy. There was no way in hell I was gonna throw those two girls into this mess. Two seconds later, the world went black again as the crowbar made contact with my jaw.

Jungkook's P.O.V.

I had never seen Taehyung so panicked in his life. When Jimin didn't answer and there was a dead body on the floor he almost lost it. When I finally peeled my eyes away from him and began to look around the room, that's when I noticed the slip of paper.

We know you have Ravs and Kylie. If you want Jimin back, bring them to us.
- Ryan's Men

"Taehyung... You might wanna read this." I said, handing the note to him. When he looked back up, I could tell what he was thinking. He wanted to do it- he wanted to trade the girls for Jimin.

"What is it?" Kylie asked from behind me. I cringed, immediately trying to formulate a lie to tell her.

"It's the guys I.D. It's no big deal, just recognized the name." I quickly said. She nodded her head but I could tell she didn't believe me. I looked to Taehyung who was staring the girl down. "Can we talk in the hall for a second Taehyung?" I asked quietly. He nodded and followed me into the hallway.

"Taehyung we can't turn her in." I quickly pleaded.

"And why the fuck not?!?" Taehyung spat back. His face was red and he was anxiously pacing the floor. "We lost Jimin because of them! They're bad fucking news!" My eyes widened at his uncontrollable anger. Still, I had to plead my case. I couldn't give up this easy.

"She saved my life Taehyung!" I shouted over top of him. It didn't stop him, he kept rambling on.

"Don't you DARE cover for her. She can't pull her weight! She's a fucking liability! We're all gonna end up dead trying to cover for her sorry ass." Taehyung screamed. I had never seen him like this, he was normally so calm and carefree. I was shocked, frozen in place.

It took me a moment to realize the furious boy had gone quiet. I followed his gaze to the door to find Kylie, barely managing to fight back tears.

"I'm sorry for being such a fucking inconvenience." She whimpered out, rushing towards the front door. I pushed past Taehyung and ran after her, grabbing her arm and turning her around. "Let me go!" She yelled, attempting to jerk away. I kept my grip strong and looked her in the eyes.

"Kylie, you saved my life back there. I owe you everything for that. I'm not gonna let him turn you in." I said, my hand gently brushing her cheek as I wiped away her tears. I looked over her shoulder at Taehyung who was shaking his head.

"I can't believe you're choosing her over your family." He said as he started towards the door. "I'll make sure I let Jimin know how much his friendship means to you." He spat as he slammed the door behind him and went out into the night.

Kylie broke down, loosing what little bit of strength she had left. "I didn't want to come between you guys. I'm so sorry. I'm so-"

"Shhh. It's ok." I said cutting her off. I pulled her into my arms and she buried her head into my shoulder, it becoming instantly wet from her tears. Her whole body was shaking- she was a mess.

"Everything will be ok."
