Chapter 14: Why Can't I Fix You

Namjoon's P.O.V.

After I had left Nikki and Hoseok to themselves, I began walking around the store, eyes constantly glancing at my phone as I waited for the notification. Heart thumping when the screen lit up in my hands, my eyes practically popped out of my head when I read the text.

System destroyed- electric shortage.
Last operation: Areum Villages @ 3:30am

My plan had worked. The tracker I had slipped into Yoongi's jacket before he was carried away had been destroyed, revealing its location. Now, not only did I know where Yoongi was being held, I knew where Ryan was hiding out. My excitement was short lived however, when I heard Hoseok screaming and crying in the front of the store.

Rushing to see what was wrong, I was shocked to find Hoseok laying on the ground crying and Jin sprawled out, bruised and badly beaten. I looked over at the girls who stood with their mouths open and eyes glazed over in shock.

"What the hell happened here?" I asked, trying to make sense of the scene.

"I found out that Jin is a lying fucking asshole that only cares about himself and his impulsive desires." Hoseok snapped out, tears still silently streaming down his face.

My head was spinning as I grew more and more confused by everything going on around me.

"What the fuck did you do?!?" I asked Jin, terrified at what could have possibly pissed the kindhearted man off so badly. His eyes met mine, and I could see the regret and hurt seeping out of them.

"He screwed my sister and then got her killed." Hoseok growled out, the anger slowly beginning to build back up.

"I said I'm sorry Hobi! What more can I-" Jin started, immediately being cut off by the angry man.

"Go fuck yourself! I hate you!"

The room fell completely silent at the words that spilled from Hoseok's mouth. We've all known each other four years, and no one has ever said anything like that, now matter how pissed they were.

"Hobi... You don't mean that." Nikki whispered out. The boy didn't respond, he just bit his cheek and clenched his jaw.

"Let's just get moving. We'll deal with Ryan now and fix this mess later." I said, walking towards the door.

"Forget about it." Hoseok started, completely broken. "I'm done fighting. Besides the boys are probably worried sick about us back at home. This was a stupid idea anyway."

My eyes went wide at his sudden disinterest. If I can't convince him to hunt down Ryan, I'd have to explain to everyone about what I'd done, and I couldn't do that to Hoseok, not right now.

"No! We need to find Ryan. We've already come this far, we might as well follow through." I huffed out, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

"Fuck Ryan. He's not worth the time and effort." Hoseok snapped again, shaking his head.

"Hoseok you don't understand! We have to find Ryan!" I shouted out, growing annoyed at the boy's stubbornness.

"Why? Why is it so important?!?"

"Because he has Yoongi." I blurted out without thinking. I felt everyone's eyes move in my direction and I cursed silently under my breath. There was no going back- I might as well come clean.

"I fucked up ok? I wanted to know for sure where Ryan was, not just trust the word of some stranger. So I used Yoongi as bait. I don't know what I was thinking I-" I apologized, growing more and more guilty as everyone's eyes cut daggers into my body.
