Destin [ON HOLD]

N I N E

Taehyung's POV.

The members are talking cheerfully among themselves, a few feet before me.

A sense of rejection slams into my chest as I watch them converse, seeming to have forgot that they were missing a certain member.

They don't need you. V interrupts. Never did. Never will. Can you not get that into your thick skull?

"I'm sorry."

V only scoffs, disappearing into the ink of blank in my mind. 

However it seemed as if Jungkook had heard me utter my apology of being so pathetic to the mysterious voice in my mind, deciding that he should definitely comment on my usual behaviour.

"Did you say something?"he calls out, stopping to face me as the members soon follow, looks of confusion etched on their faces.

I can feel my cheeks heat up from embarrassment, and I quickly look down at my feet, shaking my head furiously,"N-No."

"Don't lie to me!"he snarled, a wave of anger flashing past his eyes.

Beside him Jin let's out a bark of laughter,"What a freak! Talking to himself!"

Jimin opens his mouth, his lips curled upwards in a cruel smirk, but stops as he spots Bang PD walking down to greet us. His eyebrows pinch together in confusion as he assess the great division between the members and me.

"Taehyung!"Bang PD calls out, coming to a halt before me as he frowns, concern for me evident in his eyes,"You okay?"

I forced on a smile, nodding as I try and edge closer to the others to seem as if I were close to them,"Yeah, I'm good."

I did not want them to get into trouble because of me. Beside me, Hoseok wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me into his side.

"We were just talking about Tae's solo dance. We wanted to see how good he was at it, so we moved back to give him some place."he added, catching Bang PD's disbelieving look.

"He's pretty good!"Namjoon pipes up, a worried smile hanging on his lips.

I am tensed as Hoseok's grip around my waist tightens. I can feel his fingers lift the hem of T-Shirt, skimming lightly over my bare skin like the hands of ghost.

I let out a strangled gasp but thankfully no one hears me, instead all their attention of Bang PD who is talking. My eyes flicker to Hoseok who is only smirking, a look of malice reflected against his pupils.

Then he strikes.

His nails dig into my skin, pressing as hard as he could. Stabs of pain erupt against my hip like a needle being pushed deeper and deeper into my skin.

This time I yelp.

And immediately everyone turns to look at me, all faking concern with a hint of irritation other than Bang PD who is rushing towards me.

"What happened?"he asked, his eyes wide in worry,"Are you okay?"

I only smile painfully, nodding,"Yeah, I just remembered that I forgot my p-phone at the dorm."

A look of relief washes over his expression,"Oh thank God. I thought you were hurt or something. If you want I can go pick it up while you guys are dancing?"

"It's okay."I said, a genuine grin painting my lips as I watch his concern for me display form his words and actions,"I don't want to be a burden."

His forehead crinkled together, eyebrows pulled together and lips pulled back in an angry scowl,"You'd never be a burden, Taehyung. Who told you that?"
