Save Me? I'm Fine.

Chapter 16

Taehyung shut his mouth the moment he heard that sound. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness around him, they widened as the fell on the figure in the middle of the alley. You. You kneeling down with your hands bound in ropes and mouth taped fiercely.

"Y/n!" Taehyung took a hurried, frantic step forward before he heard footsteps and felt the cold metal at the back of his head.

"Move and I'll blow your brains out."

Taehyung froze at the familiar voice as you shook your head at him fast, voice muffled, pupils blown wide in fear. He gulped taking a step back and then another, raising his hands.

"Fine. Fine. Don't do anything. I won't move-" And with a swift move he turned, grabbing his assaulter's wrists, twisting them till the gun was between his own fingers, its aim now towards its owner. Not trembling anymore, Taehyung pointed the pistol at the man bending over and swearing at him, rubbing his wrists. When he straightened out and Taehyung saw his face, the little confidence that he had got, swept away in an instant.

"JB?"

The man before him frowned at him before his expression changed to that of recognition. "V?"

As his opponent took a step closer, Taehyung held his gun higher, more firmer this time. "Don't come forward."

The other man just laughed taking another step forward, challenging him. Taehyung narrowed his eyes at him. JB was making a mistake. He was making a huge mistake challenging him. Taehyung no longer desired to be the coward he was when he fled, he no longer feared them. He aimed straight at JB's foot and shot him as the other man crumbled before, howling in pain.

"What the fuck V? You bloody-"

"I said don't come forward." Taehyung snarled, a little relief coursing through his body which quickly died when he heard the loading of another behind him.

Taehyung turned around in an instant to see a man standing right next to you, his gun pointed straight against your forehead as you shut your eyes tight. Taehyung took a step back, his hand dropping to his side with the gun as a tall man stepped out of the shadows.

"Well, well, looks like V has finally put on his big boy pants. Not a trembling coward you are anymore I see."

"RM." Taehyung looked into the tall man's eyes, pleading. "Let her go, it's me who you need-"

"Oh no no. That's where you are mistaken. I am here for her, and it's you who I got as a complimentary gift. Must be lucky tonight."

He's after you? Well of course he was. He was the leader of the Crux so of course he was after you. But the fact that the leader himself had to step down for the hunt meant you were a very important prey. Did that mean....were you really Park Jimin's sister? What was going on? Taehyung gripped his gun tighter. Something was definitely off about the whole thing.

"Uh huh nope. Don't grip it so hard V, no use. Drop your gun or I'll lodge a bullet into her head right in front of you." RM pushed the gun further against your temple as you held your breath. Taehyung immediately dropped the gun beside him and raised his free hands. Your safety was most important.

"Good. Now hands on your head. JB! Get up you moron and pick the gun."

Taehyung heard scuffling sounds behind him as the injured man raised himself and limped towards him, kicking him at the back of the knee making him fall on his knees to the ground as he picked up the discarded gun and jabbed it against Taehyung's head.

"You bloody asshole." He hissed under his breath. "I'm going to take you down piece by piece for this."

"Lovely. You entertain Mr.V here while I," He placed the gun under your chin lifting it up. "I will take care of this young lady."
