Oath

Chapter 7

The plan was set. You were going to join Yoongi's group and help him find Namjoon by all means, and in exchange Yoongi would offer you protection as a member of his "family". After the deal was made Hoseok brought you back to your room and told you not to go out until he came back. You were not planning to do so anyway after all you've been through in the past few hours. Not to say that now your whole body was hurting so bad you could barely move and it was clear that you needed to rest. You fell asleep as soon as the pain started to fade thanks to the pill Hoseok gave you before he left. The next morning the sound of the door being slammed open woke you up, heart racing from the scare.

"What have you done?!" Taehyung was enraged. Seeing him like this scared you even more.

"Wh...what?" You were confused and your mind went blank.

"Why did you go out? Why would you become a member of our group?!"

"I was curious. And why not? Am I not allowed to join? I heard I'll receive training. As long as that goes well, I see no problem-"

"You really don't know what you're getting yourself into..." His voice softened a bit.

"Maybe not. But I know what I want. And I can't just stay here like this all day now, can I?"

"You can."

"Taehyung-ah..."

"I will talk to Yoongi to get you out. You don't know how ugly and dark this world is. It is not suited for you. You will receive training? All our members went through the same shit and they still died in that stupid scheme plotted by that bastard. Do you want to end up the same?! You were dead two months ago!" His screams filled the room. "I gave you my blood so you can lay in bed now and look at me like I'm some crazy fool. But trust me, darling, when you will get your first shot, you will want to come back to this day and beg Yoongi to leave you out."

"I will not." You fought back the tears that started to form in the corners of your eyes.

"You will...we all do at some point. Yoongi did when half of his men died right in front of him, when his group almost became ashes-"

"Did you?"

He gave you a surprised look. He did not expect this question so he hesitated before answering.

"No. Not yet."

"Do you think you will ever?"

"Maybe." His voice was now calm. He came closer and took a seat on the bed.

"Then give me the same freedom too. I might regret it at some point but right now I feel that this is what I'm supposed to do. Let me bear the weight of my choices just like you do. And if that day comes when I will want to turn back time, I will tell you." You placed your hand on his cheek. "I will make sure it won't be soon. I can take care of myself. I know me, you still don't, but you will see how strong I can be. Just trust me."

"Fine. Have it your way. All that I hope is that you are righ; and it's not just because I came to like you, it's because you can turn out to be our group's weakness and if you bring us to our downfall I will never forgive you."

"I won't, I promise. Hell, I swear, Taehyung-ah!!"

"I believe you. But I have my reasons not to trust people easily. Words mean nothing to me. I'll let you rest, I need to sleep too. It's been a rough night." He stood up and walked towards the door.

"You...won't sleep here today?"

"No. I don't think I'd be able to fall asleep next to you right now. Just make sure to stay here until any of us come to get you. If you go out alone again, it won't be nice."
