I Want the Headline

Namjoon tensely approached the group, eyes trailing over Yoongi's cool gaze. His hand reached out to touch Jungkook's arm, but the man flinched away before he even grazed him, face pressing into your neck. Namjoon recoiled slightly, brows furrowing. Jungkook was one of his strongest men and the sight of him hunched over a woman who only went up to his shoulder, quivering and weeping was something he had never seen before. What had Yoongi and his men done?

While Taehyung wasn't crying, he wasn't much better off. His head bobbed back and forth, unable to sit up properly and he grinned at nothing, in particular, hands twitching at his side. He raised his hand to scratch at his cheek, fingers curled at an angle that was bound to break the skin. Mildly shocked, Namjoon saw Tae practically claw at his face, the stupidly idle grin unwavering. Hoseok gently pulled Tae's hand away from his face, dabbing the sleeve of his shirt at the red marking on his cheeks. Taehyung only sighed softly, letting his head loll back.

The leader sighed deeply. He wanted Yoongi to pay for both his men, but he knew Yoongi would refuse it. There wasn't much he could do about Tae, he had snuck into Yoongi's warehouse when he wasn't supposed to, but as for Jungkook. He had been abducted while on his own turf. That was something Namjoon could use. Jungkook wasn't in the wrong.

So Yoongi needed to pay.

Just the sight of one of his best men curled in on himself made his blood boil. An irate smirk crossed Namjoon's lips as he lightly scratched his nose, "Hyung? Let's talk, yeah?"

You watched as Yoongi immediately stepped to him, ignoring the odd looks from Jimin and Hoseok. You frowned, was there something wrong with Yoongi and Namjoon talking? You helped Jungkook sit down on the bench beside Tae, calmly stroking his hair as he held onto your shirt, burying his face in your stomach.

Hoseok intercepted Yoongi's stride, grabbing ahold of his arm. "Hyung, wait.." He lightly jerked on him when Yoongi still kept walking,"This whole thing...this was my fault, I'll go." Yoongi vaguely shook his head, prying Hoseok's hand off of him. That also confused you. It was technically Hoseok's fault, why wasn't he going with them? Was it a leaders only kind of talk?

Jimin's hand had curled around your waist, slowly pulling you away from Jungkook and pulling you flush against himself. Surprisingly, Jungkook had let you be pulled away. He only dropped his head into his hand, sighing shakily. Jimin lowered his head, breath fanning along your ear.

Yoongi had dusted his sleeve off, staring at Hoseok, "You work for me." He explained slowly, "Whatever you do, I take responsibility for." Hoseok angrily turned away from him to Namjoon. It was obvious Yoongi wasn't going to listen.

"I did it!" Hoseok snapped,"I drugged them both. The man you have a problem with is me." Namjoon, however, hadn't even thought over the offer. It was like Hoseok was invisible.

Namjoon only motioned to Yoongi. "He's right. He's responsible."

Jimin's hand was tightening around you, mouth parting over your ear, "Once Yoongi goes through that door.." he began, whispering softly," I want you to run, baby.." He was shocked when your head dropped down on his shoulder, a shuddered breath passing through your lips. You've heard that phrase plenty of times and tried it and it only made things worse.

"Why? Why does everyone tell me to run? I've been trying and I never get anywhere. There's no point." It seemed better to just stay put and let whatever will happen, happen. You flinched when he pinched you suddenly,

"Don't give me that shit." He growled lightly, "As soon as Namjoon gets Yoongi alone, he's going to kill him and then he's probably going to kill us. This is probably your only chance to escape unnoticed.."
