Shock [BTS X Reader]

Chapter 24: Risks

"Is he coming on tour with us?" Yoongi rolls his eyes.

"Well I haven't really thought about that. I guess he has nowhere else to go..." Taehyung shrugs.

Yoongi groans in annoyance.

Tijang looks down at his hands and shuffles his thumbs nervously.

"He better not try anything, or else he's dead." Yoongi shoots daggers with his eyes.

"Please Yoongi, he's the only blood relative I really have..." Taehyung grabs Yoongi's wrist.

Yoongi scoffs and yanks his hand away.

"Can I talk to you for a moment (y/n)?" Yoongi leads me into the hallway.

"I think your boyfriend is insane, bringing that lunatic with us?" Yoongi whispers lowly.

"It's pretty crazy of him, but you have to understand what he said, Tijang is his brother... by the way, what does he mean by only blood relative left?" I question.

"Taehyung's parents were um... sort of addicted to parties and such. One unlucky drive home caused his parents their lives. This happened when Taehyung was about to debut. Thankfully, it didn't affect his performance, and he made it with us." Yoongi explains.

"Shouldn't you at least show some sympathy then?!" I aggressively but quietly state.

"Dammit (y/n), this man could have killed you, and now you're letting him in like this so quickly?! I don't know what I would do if I lost you. You've made me actually want to wake up everyday. I know it's wrong for me to say, but you're my motivation to keep my eyes open. That bastard could have taken that away from me." Yoongi shyly takes my hand.

My face flushes red.

"Yoongs..."

"I don't know if we can trust him,
(y/n)..." Yoongi worriedly whines.

"This is for Taehyung. I feel bad for him..." I rub the back of his hand with my thumb.

"I'll protect you, I promise." Yoongi hugs me tightly, his familiar mint smell wafts through my lungs like ember from a breezy summer campfire.

"I think I'm going to bed, we have to be up early tomorrow..." I let go and walk slowly away.

"Goodnight." He puts his hands in his pockets.

"(y/n), (y/n)... time to wake up, beautiful-" Taehyung gently shakes me awake.

"Already..?" I groan.

I only slept for a few hours... I was up thinking about what Yoongi said.

Taehyung must feel great about finally having a sibling...

I hope he's not wrong about him wanting to fix his ways...

I pray Tijang was sincere about his apology...

I try to search for my luggage but it's nowhere to be seen.

My luggage was left on the train when Tijang captured me.

I guess I don't have any other clothes than these torn leggings and old t-shirt.

Thankfully the blood was washed out of them.

"Tae..? Can you come back in here for a moment?"

"What's up?"

"I kinda lost my luggage on the train..." I look down at my feet.
