THE PURGE || BTS EDITION

Chapter 20: Let's Just End This

Taehyung's P.O.V.

I led an emotional, teary-eyed Jungkook through the now unlocked door into a dim, empty hallway. Alaina followed behind, still confused over the situation. She had demanded to know what upset Jungkook, but I refused to let her see Kylie- she had been through enough for the day.

Jungkook sat on the floor as he attempted to calm his breathing and control his emotions. It pained me to see the boy hurting. I wanted to see him smile, to hear him laugh, anything but this heartbreaking sight. I sat down next to him, rubbing at his arm as Alaina walked over and sat in my lap.

"Don't cry Jungkook, it'll be ok. Taehyung oppa and I are here for you." Alaina reassured, smiling over at him. He looked over at us and smiled slightly, eyes still red and brimming with tears. He opened his mouth as if to say something when someone came stumbling out of another door in the hallway.

It took me a moment to realize it was Namjoon. He glanced over at me, neither of us daring to say anything as the tension built. I felt Alaina subconsciously cling to me even tighter, her small hands gripping tightly to my shirt. I rubbed at her back, whispering that it was ok. She was, after all, staring into the eyes of her parents' killer.

My attention turned back to the door as two more people came walking out. One was sobbing and putting all of their weight onto the other being.

Yoongi and Jimin.

"Hyungs!" I yelled as I carefully placed Alaina on the ground, running over to the two men I hadn't seen since earlier in the night.

Immediately, I was grabbing Jimin into my arms, apologizing for everything that had happened. He winced in pain at the tight embrace, and I carefully pulled away.

"What happened to you? Are you ok?" I asked, my eyes looking over his cuts and bruises.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it." He said, his interest in the conversation nonexistent. I noticed Jimin watching Yoongi, his eyes showed his concern.

"Ravs was in there..." Namjoon said quietly from behind me. I swallowed harshly and nodded my head, realizing she had met the same fate as Kylie.

I heard another door creak open from down the hall, and my head immediately turned in that direction to find Hobi and Jin stumbling out.

"Nikki...Nikki..." Was all Hobi could manage to cry out between sobs. Jin held the crying boy to his side tightly.

The hallway was filled with emotion, each of us attempting to calm down one of the three traumatized members. Once Hobi, Yoongi, and Jungkook were composed, we huddled together, each of us suggesting escape plans.

It was no use. We were all confused and completely lost. We had no idea where the exits were and if there were still guards on the lookout. We were unarmed and broken, none of us much of a threat to Ryan's men.

"We're screwed." Jungkook said, holding a hand to his temple and massaging his forehead. He was aggravated and annoyed, on the verge of lashing out on us from his own frustration. I noticed Alaina out of the corner of my eye. She was quickly walking towards Jungkook with something in one of her small hands. She pulled on his pant leg and Jungkook turned around immediately, fake smile plastered on his face as he looked at the little girl.

"I... I found this..." she said timidly, handing over a metal object— a gun. Jungkook gently grabbed it from her and handed it to Hobi.

A few seconds later we heard footsteps and shouting coming from a nearby hallway. Frozen in fear, we grouped closer together, all of us shielding Alaina. Two men rounded the corner and shots began ringing out, both from Ryan's men and Hobi. We ducked down, praying not to be hit by the bullets.

Then, everything went quiet.

I opened my eyes that I didn't know I closed and looked around. The two men were dead on the floor, their blood pooling around them.

But there was also blood splattered on the floor near me.

Hobi...

I looked around frantically, terrified at what I would see. I turned to see him clenching his teeth in pain, his hand gripped tightly on his shoulder.

""I'm fine. Just in the shoulder." Hobi said, obviously seeing my worried face. We stood up and recollected ourselves. Thankfully no one else was injured. We were about to start finding an exit when another figure entered the hallway.

He was tall and muscular, tattoos covering his arm and a scar on his face. It was Ryan. He was unarmed and confidently strolled towards us.

"You have some nerve showing your face after the hell you put us through." Jimin said, glaring at the man.

And he laughed.

In an instant, Yoongi was pushing Ryan to the ground, punching and kicking the man despite his own bruised and beaten body. Suddenly, Yoongi yelled out in pain, stumbling backwards while gripping his thigh. His jeans were slashed and staining with blood. Ryan stood up, pocket knife glaring in the light.

"Fuck you." Yoongi spat.

"That's what your ladies were for." Ryan sneered, winking.

Hobi ran forward, but Jungkook and I held him back, hoping to hear an explanation or a reason for the terrible things he did. But we got nothing.

We all stood there, none of us knowing what to do or how to act after everything that had happened tonight.

"I can't take anymore of this shit." Hobi suddenly erupted, his emotions taking over. "I can't look at him anymore. I can't look at him without seeing my sister, or Nikki, or Ravs, or Kylie. Let's just fucking end this." His hand hesitantly raised his gun, ready to fire at any moment.

The tension was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a blaring siren- the Purge was officially over. Hobi stared at Ryan, his hand trembling as his finger continued to hover over the trigger.

"Put the gun down. It's too late Hobi. This is murder now." Jungkook said sternly, slowly inching towards the upset man.

"So you're telling me this was all for nothing? My sister, Nikki, Kylie, Ravs... They all died for nothing? We fought and we killed for nothing? We tore each other apart and lied for nothing?" Hobi asked incredulously, fighting back tears as he looked at the man.

"Hobi... You don't want this. You're upset but you don't-" Jimin started, only to be cut off by the sound of a gunshot echoing throughout the room.

We all stood in silence for a moment, our brains spinning to comprehend everything. Hobi had just killed a man outside of Purge Night- he was a murderer. Without a second of hesitation we were all running, away from the dead body, away from our murdered friends, away from all of the pain and suffering Ryan had caused.

A/N: This is technically the ending of the story. I'm sorry if this felt rushed and shitty, I'm terrible with endings.

Thank you all so much for supporting this story and showing it so much love!

If you're interested I would love to write an epilogue and do a character/author Q&A!
