Beneath The Surface

Chapter 6

Jin POV

I slept terribly last night, 'I Hate You'. That one sentence left Jin feeling tortured throughout the night.

'Kookie hates me, why? I realize yesterday was a bit too much but it was his own fault. Right?'

I turned to see the time 6 am, ugh. We don't have to be to practice till 11, guess I'll get started on breakfast early.

Maybe if I make kookies favorite he'll forgive me. As I walk down the hall I hear sobbing, I turn to see it coming from Taehyung's room.

'Great he's crying again, so pathetic' I was about to continue on when I heard a loud thud. I curiously put my ear to the door and heard nothing, I decided to go about my business.

As I was getting prepared to make enough lamb skewers for kookie and yoonie I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I tried to ignore the tugging feeling in my chest but gave in after a while.

I knocked on Tae's door softly ... no answer. I tried again a little harder this time... still nothing. He usually locks his door so I was gonna give up but something said just try.

I turned the knob and it opened. I walked in and saw nothing. I was quite puzzled since I was sure I heard someone in hear. I start to walk around the bed and halted, my body becoming stiff.

Tae was unconscious on the floor wearing nothing but a towel. Jin scanned his body to finding a number of bruises on his upper body. Along with what looked like a tattoo on his upper thigh, the way he was positioned only let me see so much of it.

I picked the boy up and placed him in the bed covering him with the sheets. Curiosity eating at me wanting to know what the tattoo was, I tried to ignore it.

Didn't work before I knew it I was lifting the towel slightly to give me a better view of it. I knew if anyone walked in I'd have a ton of questions to answer seeing as it was on the inside of his upper thigh.

Once I positioned his leg right I focused in on what seemingly looked like the yin yang symbol.

There was no end to the amount of questions I had. I pulled the covers back up taking in the the sight of his chest.

I didn't have to question where the bruises came from. As I was about to leave I gave him one more glance, feeling the same pain in my chest as before.

I couldn't help but mutter a quiet "I'm sorry" and leave. Returning a while later to leave him some eggs and bacon on the dresser.

Taehyung POV

I woke up to loud banging on the door, "What is it" I said groggily "Um Hurry and get ready were gonna be late" a voice said I still half asleep couldn't make out who it was.

I looked at the clock 10:40am 'SHIT' I race to my closet letting my towel drop, throwing on a pair of red jogging pants and a white long sleeve shirt. I grab my phone and race down stairs, the downstairs area was empty I thought they might've left me till I heard a honk.

I ran outside and hop in the van, feeling a slap on the back of my head. Of coarse I can't catch a break the universe hates me too. Hoseok Hyung put his hand up again to hit me but to my surprise jimin smacked it away. When I looked over jimin and jungkook were right beside me In the seats.

That was honestly a first if they ever had to sit next to me, they'd push over into one seat. Trying to put as much space in between us as possible. Hoseok hyung glared at jimin then turned to give me a glare that seemed to intensify twice over. I couldn't wait to get out of that van, I mumbled a quiet "sorry" and remained quiet the rest of the way.

Hoseok POV

' Stupid Jimin he keeps getting in the way. Why the hell does he all of a sudden care about him, so frustrating.' We started practicing immediately after we arrived, warming up briefly.

After hours of practice we were on our last dance, I Need You. As soon as the part came for me to lift up I pressed all my weight down causing him to face plant. When the others asked he said he just messed up, hes such a coward.

I continued to push my weight down but he seemed to be able to still lift up. It pissed me off but I was too tired to try something else. We continued on for an hour "OK, last run make it your best, TAEHYUNG your slacking" I said

I could see Jimin and Jungkook clicked there tongues in irritation, I walked past knocking their shoulders slightly.

We were midway through the dance when I saw Tae start to slide backwards. I was about to catch him when I recoiled my hands back, he fell on Jungkook.

3rd POV

"OUCH!" Jungkook said hitting the ground. Tae ended up falling on the boys leg, feeling a sharp pain in his back as he did. The members raced to Jungkook pushing Tae out of the way.

Tae tried to stand failing twice before he was successful, he saw the puddle of sweat he slipped on earlier. He tried making his way to the maknae to ensure he was ok, but Jimin was already picking him up walking towards the door.

He spotted a large red bruise on the boys ankle before he disappeared. Jin followed the other two while Tae was left with 3 disgruntle members. Before he could even say anything he was on the ground again holding his head in pain, then a shot to his stomach was thrown.

It seemed almost endless the amount of blows coming from all sides, he couldn't even hear the words they seemed to be saying rather loudly. For whatever reason it stopped Tae took this opportunity to pull himself up and run.

He was two inches away from the door when He got a call from the manager.

"Hello? Taehyung"

"H-hello"

"Did you forget? Were supposed to talk today"

"K" I said and hung up

Taehyung POV

I wasn't thinking at all, that feeling when you body and mind are functioning without you doing anything is how I currently feel. I made my way to manager-nim's office receiving weird looks from other staff as I pass. I swear some said something to me but I couldn't hear them, I kept walking instead of asking them to repeat.

When I reached the door I knocked, I waited a while and he came to open the door. His face seemed to resemble the others a moment ago, he ushered me to the chair wearing a worried expression.

He kept asking me questions, some I heard others I didn't. I couldn't answer them though, when I tried I felt a huge lump in my throat. My chest felt like it was on fire, I started rubbing it harshly. He went to the phone and then back to me, he pulled me up and we walked out of the building getting into a car.

I recognized the building when the car stopped, it was a hospital. On the way in my eyes caught a red colored stain on my shirt, I rubbed my face with my hands. When I pulled them back they were covered in blood. The nurses put me in a room wiping my face with small cloths that stung when they made contact with my skin.

They stripped off my shirt taking a pause to look at the number of old and new bruises I had. That was about the last thing I remember before I woke up in a hospital bed.I felt a lot better, things seemed a lot more clear than they had been before. So when my manager rushed to my side asking what happened I only replied with on sentence.

I'm Quitting BTS

Sooooo how ya like it? Longest chapter I've written so far, wasn't as bad as I thought. On to other news I have a performance coming up so there are extra practices. Not sure if I can still get a chapter out everyday though I will try. If not the chapters will just be longer, and less frequent. As always Enjoy~💕
