Serendipity Fate {kth}

Chapter 5

Namjoon coughed a little, clearing his throat. You noticed the concerned looks of the rest of the crew, unable to understand why he was telling you anything, nevermind that he was going to tell you what they had been planning. It was none of your business. Even when you thought about it yourself it made no sense.

"Wait-" you interrupted him before he could even begin, "you're not telling me coz you're gonna kill me after right?"

A smile appeared on his lips, the small dents of dimples formed at his tan cheeks. What were you feeling right now?

"No" he answered you calmly, instantly your shoulders dropped a little as you let out a breath.

Gonna have to take your word for it.

"We're not a gang exactly, we're just a group lets say," he began, your eyes glued to his face as he spoke softly, "and there are some people who don't like us for some reasons I'm not going to share," you nodded, you didn't need to know more than this, "and because they don't like us, they threatened to kidnap our birthmark mates."

It clicked in your head. No wonder the girls weren't tied and were a little hesitant to leave the container when you opened the door. They were in danger...

"So we had to find our mates first. Unfortunately, it's not easy to persuade someone you're taking them for their safety." He looked at you expectantly, waiting for a response but you weren't ready to say anything. You felt the need to filter your thoughts and decide how you felt about this. They could be lying for all you knew.

After a few moments of quiet Jimin spoke up, obviously detecting your distrust.

"Here's the proof" he got up to shuffle a few papers in his hand, he stood against the table for support as his leg still hurt and slid the papers over to your side of the table.

"Proof" the brown haired boy repeated, not understanding why they needed to prove themselves.

"We might as well show her as she knows now."

You looked at one of the pictures, recognising the face of the first girl that ran out. You couldn't remember the others.

"Trust us" repeated in your head from that night.

She had her mark placed neatly under her ear, on her neck. It was a sun with a disk around it. You looked up at the boys, trying to guess who's mate she was.

As though answering your curiosity, the orange haired one brushed back his hair around his ear and tilted his head in your direction.

There was a feeling teasing at your stomach. Not guilt exactly because taking the girls without fully having their permission still is wrong but you knew you had gotten involved in something dangerous this time and that in all honesty, you could be held responsible if something happened to those girls now.

The confusion lay heavily on your expression.

"What's wrong?" Jungkook asked you and you made eye contact with him to find soft eyes. They didn't seem dangerous you admitted to yourself but you weren't ready to fall into appearances.

"What about me?" you asked bravely.

"What about you?" Namjoon said.

"What happens to me now?"

"We'll have to think about that."

You felt your cheeks getting hot again as the nervousness set in. Would they keep you down here forever?

"I... I won't tell anyone, I mean, what do I gain from that?"

"A lot depending on who you tell. You've even seen this room which is more than can be said for anyone outside this crew."
