Wings

Awake

Taehyung doesn't think he'll ever make it back to Hoseok's apartment, he would run but his entire body is screaming to lay down and sleep and his mind is racing. He feels completely vulnerable, like the tough outer shell that once shielded his heart has crumbled leaving him wide open. It's a new feeling and it isn't entirely unwanted. He's never felt lighter and more free, and with every slow step he takes, he feels a little bit better at the hope of living out the remainder of his days with Hoseok. He has to make things right, and if Hoseok doesn't want him around anymore then Taehyung will respect his wishes. Who knows, maybe he will get an apartment and a job close by the older so he can keep a watchful eye out for him. Protect him.

Little does Taehyung know of the aftermath he's approaching.

Hoseok has been crying since Taehyung left, curled up on the couch, while Yoongi rubs his back comforting him. Hoseok slowly calms down and sits up, using his shirt sleeve to wipe away the mess of dried up tears and snot from his harsh sobs. He sighs, sniffling "Yoongi hyung, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you sooner. I should've trusted your judgement... I hate this. I think I was actually in love with him! I feel like such an idiot for helping him..." Yoongi frowns, regretting a few of his life choices and he hates that Hoseok is hurting because of him. But at the same time, he'd rather Hoseok be sad rather than dead by the hands of that demon. It's hard to swallow but he forces a comforting smile and rubs Hoseok's forearm "it's okay. You're not stupid, you're giving. Everyone who knows you loves you, you're a very kind person Hoseok. He doesn't deserve your love." Hoseok nods, wiping his nose again with his sleeve and his head shoots up towards the door at the sound of an abrupt knock. Yoongi tenses, and stands up "I'll get it Hoseok. It could be Taehyung." Hoseok swallows thickly, tensed and afraid at what the demon might do.

When Yoongi opens the door however, it's not Taehyung, but Jin. His brows furrow keep the door barely cracked so Hoseok can't see who it is and he keeps his voice low "what are you doing here?" Jin raises one brow "I'm here to finish things." Yoongi rolls his eyes "Taehyung is gone. I texted you when he left, remember? I don't know where he went." Yoongi goes to shut the door only for Jin to catch it "I'm not here for V. I'm here to FINISH things." Yoongi realizes a little too late that the angel has betrayed him to get to Hoseok, all this time Jin has been using Yoongi to break Taehyung and Hoseok up just so he can hurt Hoseok. Yoongi growls, bristling "get away from him." Jin chuckles, swinging the door wide open and confidently stepping forward, proud when Yoongi takes an equal step backwards. Jin smirks, leaning forward to taunt Yoongi "I will have my revenge. V killed someone very dear to me whom I loved, and I intend to return the favor. If you get in my way I won't hesitate to kill you." Yoongi stands his ground, glaring "so be it. If you want Hoseok you'll have to go through me." Hoseok stands from the couch, calling out from the main room "Hyung tell him that Tae isn't here, if he's even Tae's real brother." Yoongi reaches for the door hand to shut the door on Jin only to have Jin grab him by the throat and lift him off his feet "you got in my way, now you die." Yoongi claws desperately at the angels arm, feet kicking, and eyes scanning the room for some form of weapon. Hoseok shouts from the main room to try to help, but Jin rushes forward to the kitchen and grabs a knife off of the counter and sinks it into Yoongi's stomach.

Jin happily watches the panic race across the mortals face, smirking and drops the man to the ground. Yoongi quickly leans against the nearest wall, careful not to pull the blade out and shouting with the small amount of strength he has left "Hoseok run!!" The dancers eyes widen, tears brimming and he scrambles towards the window to escape down the fire escape. But before he can make it past the couch, Jin grabs him by the shoulder, pulling him with tremendous strength and Hoseok flies across the room, hitting the wall adjacent to them with a loud crack of sheetrock. Hoseok crumples to the ground with a groan of pain, his back aching from the slam but he doesn't have time to recover because the moment his eyes refocus on his surroundings Jin is standing in front of him.
