His Buried Past| Taekook

Chapter 20

"If they're not answering their phones, why aren't you doing something?? They've been gone all fvcking night! He's your brother for God's sake, aren't you worried?!"

Jungkook and Baekhyun are standing on opposite sides of the younger's desk, bodies tense and eyes shooting daggers at each other.  Chanyeol has his hands placed on his husband's shoulders, supporting the smaller. "You don't know V, or Suga. They are the best at what they do, and no one can protect my brother better than Suga can."

"I don't know him?! I've known him his whole life!" The ravenette's fists tighten at the other leader's claim.

Baekhyun snorts, "You knew him before he was V! You don't know the person he is now; he's positively lethal."

The younger growls, "Then what the fvck is taking so long?"

The two husbands exchange a long look, before Chanyeol takes a breath, "V's been under a lot of stress lately. He probably went to go let off some steam. He needs to do that sometimes."

Wide eyed, Jungkook gapes at the older man for a moment, "What, like he went to a club or something? Or he went to get laid??" At the thought that the boy may be hooking up with some stranger, his eyes grow darker, rage boiling in his blood.

Baekhyun shakes his head, "That's not how V lets off steam. He kind of...goes hunting."

The ravenette blinks, confusion clear on his face, "Hunting?"

Chanyeol clears his throat, "Yeah, you see, he kind of...tracks down people whom he thinks deserve to die, and he, well...toys with them...before he finally kills them."

The younger stares in shock, struggling to process this information. "You're telling me that not only is V your assassin, but he's also a serial killer?"

Baekhyun winces when he hears how it sounds, "Well, I mean, yeah, I suppose he technically is. But he only kills people who come after him first! He acts as bait, and when guys think he'll be an easy victim, instead he makes them the victim instead."

Jungkook sinks into his chair. "And you allow him to do this? What if he attracts someone dangerous? He's putting himself in danger!"

The other two stare at the younger, Chanyeol looking puzzled and Baekhyun frowning, "So what bothers you isn't that he's killing people, but that one of his victims could hurt him?"

The raven haired younger rubs his hands over his face, weariness evident in the lines of his face, "Of course! I don't give a sh!t about his victims, especially if they wanted to hurt him in the first place. But I spent years believing he was dead. I can't go through that again."

A tense silence fills the room, the two older men's mouths hanging open in shock at the younger's statement. While they sit and try to absorb the declaration, a loud commotion from the foyer has all three men frowning and checking to see what's happening, arriving to see that the rest of the group have all come running as well.

Relief swamps Jungkook as he takes in the sight of V standing in the foyer, loudly berating Suga. "I'm able to take care of myself hyung! You could've been killed!"

The mint haired man rolls his eyes, "Quiet down and stop being so dramatic. I've lived through worse."

Baekhyun steps in between the two, raising his hands, "What's going on?! And where were you two all night? I tried calling you and you didn't answer! You had us worried!"

The younger angrily crosses his arms, still scowling at Suga, who just looks bored and grouchy. "I decided to go out and have a little fun to take the edge off, and Suga-hyung followed me. We were cleaning up and about to leave, when someone started shooting at us. And then the pabo jumped in front of me and got shot!"
