COLD

31: E

"So, where have you been?" Jungkook picked at his burger, separating the sesame seeds from the bun. "You disappeared for 30 years without saying anything. Yoongi was really hurt."

"I know, Kooks, but, I had to leave. If I didn't, there would have been consequences." Taehyung's phone pinged, getting a text message. His eyebrows furrowed as he read it.

"Consequences? What kind of consequences?"

"Bad ones. We all could have died." Taehyung put aside his phone and flicked the sesame seeds that Jungkook picked away from him.
"I left to save us all, Kooks. Why can't he see that?" Annoyed, he flicked the last seed hard, burying it in a wall.

"He? Who?" Jungkook started to worry. He thought Taehyung was a calm and happy person, but right now, it was totally the opposite. "Why are you so tense, Tae?"

"Stop asking these questions, Jungkook," Taehyung's voice suddenly dropped, becoming husky and deep. "I'm way more powerful than you think, I can easily kill you right now."

Jungkook froze. What was this creepy aura he was feeling coming off from Taehyung? He glanced at Taehyung's phone, seeing a message from Yoongi which read, "Joonie got sliver poisoning, but I think he'll live."

"Hyung, I'm just curious. I didn't mean anything. I know it's tough handling Jimin's situation but-"

Taehyung slammed his hands on the table, attracting stares and whispers.

"Someone didn't do a job properly and now I have to go do it myself. I'm leaving. Goodbye, Kooks." He got up from his seat and walked off. Confused, Jungkook got up to follow him when he suddenly felt a strong force, pushing him back down on his seat.

"Don't follow me," Taehyung turned around and glared at Jungkook, and disappeared.

________

"What condition?" Yoongi turned Seokjin around, making eye contact with his tear filled eyes.

"Joonie can't take silver, he once touched a silver spoon once and he had to go to the hospital. Now, it's in his fucking veins. He'll die."

Yoongi gulped and let go of him, holding Jimin's arm.

"We'll save him, hyung. We will."

"You got the money?"

"I won't give it until the job is done."

"But you said-"

"Do you want the money or not?"

"Fine."

"But if you fuck it up, I'll come for you, and you're going to die."

Now

Taehyung slammed Sehun against the wall, lifting him off his feet.

"Didn't I tell you to do the job properly? Why is he still alive? He should be dead instantly!" Taehyung threw a fist, hitting the wall beside Sehun's head.

"I did what you ask! I don't know how he's still alive! Please, have mercy!" Sehun pleaded with all his might.

"Mercy? I gave you mercy months ago, when you couldn't even crash a car into a fucking person properly! But I still gave you another chance to make up for it and you wasted it!"

Taehyung released Sehun, making him drop to his knees, begging.

"I'm sorry, please give me one last chance!" Sehun clasped his hands together, rubbing them.

"Suck my dick."

"What?"

"I said, suck my dick. Do it and I'll spare you."

"I'm not gay, dude! Im not going to-"

Taehyung flicked his wrist, and Sehun's head jerked to the side, snapping his neck, killing him instantly. He collapsed, dead.

"Can't even suck a dick to save your own life," Taehyung muttered under his breath, shaking his head.

A metallic crunch and a "oh shit" came from behind Taehyung, and his eyes widened in shock, then furrowed his eyebrows in anger.

Fuck.

Jimin slowly opened his eyes, realising someone was behind him. He glanced down, noticing two arms wrapped around his waist. He recognised Jungkook, who was resting his head on Jimin's shoulder, sound asleep. His soft snores tickled the hairs on Jimin's neck. Jimin smiled and closed his eyes, feeling Jungkook's warmth against his back.
______

Yoongi threw his phone aside and sat down next to Jimin. Taehyung nor Jungkook were picking up their phones.

"I sense them in the Plane. What are they doing there? " Seokjin rubbed his arm, uncomfortable.

"It's probably something we shouldn't be worrying about." Yoongi said, but there was a slight tremor in his voice. "So many things are happening ever since Tae appeared."

"Do you Taehyung did something to Kookie? If he did, I'm going to murder that son of a-"

"No, Tae wouldn't do that. He's our friend."

"I just hope we're his."
