His Buried Past| Taekook

Chapter 13

The pink-haired boy presses the back of his hand to his plump lips in an attempt to hold back his sobs. But tears still spill over his round cheeks, his confusion and pain needing some release. Sitting against the wall of his and Hobi's room, he remembers what Jungkook had said in the van. 'Tae might not know us at all.' As painful as that thought is, what hurts worse is what they don't know. What could have turned their gentle little brother into a monster?

Flashback

Jimin jumps back from the table with a shriek, the sight of a spider making his skin crawl. "Kill it! Squish it!"

But Taehyung jumps forward, his eyes wide with alarm, "No hyung, don't hurt it! It isn't going to hurt you!" Saying that, he carefully slides the spider into an empty cup before carrying it outside and gently depositing it on a tree.

Smiling his adorable grin at his still jittery friend, he gives the older a side-hug,"You shouldn't kill anything when you don't need to hyung, even creepy bugs!"

Lost in the memory, Jimin's head snaps up when his door opens. He's greeted with the sight of his boyfriend. Giving him a watery smile, he tries to sniff back his tears. "How's Taehyung?"

Hoseok crosses to the younger, before sliding down to sit on the floor and pull the smaller boy into his lap. "You don't need to hide your tears from me baby. And Taehyung is alright. His shoulder's stitched up and he's been given some pain meds that are probably gonna keep him knocked out until tomorrow."

Jimin nods, and this time his voice is soft and uncertain,"Hobi, what could have changed Tae that much? You saw the reports of what V did. I just...I can't imagine our Tae hurting a single soul, let alone doing the things V has done."

The redhead sighs, "I don't know either. But he's still Taehyung. I think the only thing we can do is wait for answers baby. Wait, and stay by his side, no matter what he's become. That's what a family does."

Jimin lays his head against his boyfriend's chest, "Thank you Hobi. I love you." He's so grateful to have the older with him. He can't imagine feeling more complete than he does when they're together.

"I love you too baby."

Elsewhere

A fist slams against the wall of V's room, crumpling the plaster. "Goddammit!"

Suga is furious, rage practically crackling from his skin. He'd been on his way home from trying to track down the doctor when his phone had rung.

"Hey Boss, I was just about to update you. Doctor Jung has totally disappeared. His neighbors say he hadn't been home in days. I'm not sure if he went into hiding or if he was grabbed."

Baekhyun's voice when it comes is high-pitched with worry, "Don't worry about that right now Suga. Get to the compound, there's been some kind of attack. The overnight security were all killed, and now V isn't answering his phone!" By the end, the other sounds close to tears.

The assassin doesn't hesitate, gunning his car to dangerous speeds as he rushes to the mansion. Arriving at the house just before dawn, the place is in an uproar. Suga doesn't look at the rest of the Byun men as he runs to the room reserved for V's visits. When he arrives, his heart drops to his stomach at the mess, and he immediately lashes out at the wall.

Gritting his teeth, Suga tries to get control of his feelings as he shakes his hand, his knuckles bruised from the punch. His eyes flick around the room, taking note of the discarded guns, and the daggers tossed aside, along with V's phone lying forgotten by his bed. But it's the blood drying on the floor that has ice running through his veins. Snarling, the usually unflappable man loses his cool, stalking from the room. 'Whoever did this is going to fvcking die, and I'm gonna make sure they beg first!'
