Shock [BTS X Reader]

Chapter 25: Finale

~ Author's Note ~

(Acknowledge the song above)

Thank you for sticking with me for this long! I know that this story is a bit messy, but it is my first after all.

Personally, I made myself cry over this chapter so prepare yourself ;)

**********************

( (y/n)'s POV )

"Hey! Wake up, (y/n)! The show starts in two hours and we all overslept." Namjoon suddenly barges into my bedroom and makes me jump two feet in the air.

"Holy crap Joonie-" I gasp for air.

He darts out of the room and I hear him trip over the coffee table, then a loud smash follows.

"Goddammit, Namjoon..." Yoongi laughs from a distance.

"Hyung... that vase must have been expensive..." Jungkook giggles.

I hurriedly throw on the nice clothes that Tae bought for me yesterday and join the boys near the van out front.

"Tijang is staying in the hotel for his own safety, with all of those security guards at the show, there's no way he'd go unnoticed." Taehyung whispers lowly to me.

There's an unusual uneasiness in Taehyung's voice that makes my head spin.

I've never seen him this way before.

He's so reserved and quiet... which is the opposite of his usual self...

I didn't see a single smile curl from his lips until he took the stage, when he was forced to smile for the fans.

Their show turns out to be a huge success, and the boys all leave the stage full of smiles, except for Taehyung.

There must be something else bothering him...

I grab his arm and pull him to the side and speak softly to him.

"Is everything okay love bug?" I sympathetically look into his eyes. He swallows hard.

"Yes, I just have a lot on my mind right now." He gives me a smile but his eyes tell a different story.

"You know that you can tell me if that will make you feel better..." I gently rub his arm.

He blinks a few times in attempt to hold back tears and clears his throat.

"I'm sorry, (y/n)..." He coughs.

"For what..? You didn't do anything wrong I-"

"I can't share what I'm thinking right now... I just can't do it." Taehyung collapses into the crease of my neck and lets his tears free.

"I don't understand-" I stutter.

"I know baby~ I'm so sorry." He wraps his arms around my waist and squeezes tightly.

The other members watch worriedly from across the large room.

"Tae, why don't I take everyone to dinner? Does that sound good?" I hold him by the shoulders and look him in the eyes.

He slowly nods and dries his burning cheeks.

When we join the others, Namjoon frantically pulls me aside.

"Why is he so upset?! Did he tell you?" Namjoon's eyes scan my face.

"No... but I'm really worried about him, Joonie. He's never kept anything from me like this." My eyes start to water.
