Blood Wars

Nine

It's been about a week since everyone has gone back to their normal lives. Jin, Namjoon, and Hoseok have gone back to work at the hospital. I think they do research for medicine and things like that. Jin does some work with patients, mostly blood related things. Funny right? Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jimin went back to school. I'm not sure what they're majoring in.

I've spent most of my time wondering around in the woods. It's autumn now so the leaves have all changed colors and are covering the ground. I've started to be able to see my breath when I walk outside. I've read a few books but they never last me very long since I read pretty fast. At night I'll hear Yoongi playing the piano and I'll go listen. That's usually the extent of my contact with him. I'll see him around the house every once in a while but he doesn't really talk to me. I'm starting to get really bored.

It's Sunday now and everyone is free. We've all been lazing about around the house. I'm currently in a small library/office space I found on the second floor. It has a big window with a cushioned window seat in it. There's an empty desk pushed against the left wall and bookshelves lined the right. I'm sitting in the window seat with a cup of tea. I had found some tea called blackberry sage in one of the cabinets in the kitchen. It smelled nice so I made some and it's actually really good.

I've been sitting here for about two hours. For the first hour and a half I read a random book I pulled off the shelf. It was called The Wind in the Willows. It was really good. When I finished it I placed it on the desk and went to the kitchen. That's when I made my tea and came back up here. I've been sitting in the window and watching the birds fly around outside  ever since. It's quite peaceful and quiet in here. It's only around 3:00 and I have nothing to do but read more books. I was about to get another one when I hear a soft knock on the door. It opens slowly and Jin walks into the room.

"Hello Jin. I'm actually glad you came up here. I was wondering if anyone uses this room. It didn't seem like anyone did. If not I was wondering if I could use it as a private space. I quite like it in here."

He gives me a smile and nods his head.

"No one uses it. Feel free to have it."

"Thank you."

"Of course. Now I came up here to ask if you wanted to go shopping. I don't know how many clothes you have or if you want anymore and we need to get you more food. Plus you've been cooped up in here for two weeks. I think it's about time that I took you out."

I smile at him and nod.

"I'd love to."

I get up from my spot at the window and follow him out of the room. We make our way downstairs and I go to the kitchen to put my mug in the sink.

"Are the others coming?"

"No. The younger ones have a study group they went to a few minutes ago. Namjoon and Hoseok had to go to the hospital to check a few things and they had a meeting."

"You didn't have to go to the meeting?"

"No. I already talked to the people they're meeting and told them I had plans so they already filled me in on the information they needed to tell us. As for Yoongi, he said he didn't want to come and I don't have the energy to deal with him today. It's just you and me. Like old times."

I nod and give him a smile.

"Well let's get going."

We leave the house and get in Jin's car and he drives us to the mall. When we got there we went to get clothes first. We got my some new bras and panties. Jin stayed outside the store while I was getting those. Then we went to a few other stores and got me new shirts, both long sleeved and short sleeved. Some shorts, jeans, and leggings. We got tank tops, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and only a few dresses.

Next we went to get me some groceries. We got rice, noodles, meat, eggs, bread, and a bunch of other stuff. Let's just say that I'm definitely not going to go hungry.

We put everything into the car and decided to go back home. It was getting kinda late and we were both pretty tired. When we got back everyone but Yoongi was sitting in the living room like usual. We all greeted each other and said our goodnights before going to bed.

I wake up when I hear soft piano music drifting through the house. I look over at my clock and see that it's midnight. Right on time. Every night at midnight I wake up to piano music. I get out of bed and quietly make my way downstairs. I get to the room where the music comes from and slowly open the door like always. When it's open I see his figure sitting on the piano bench under the moonlight like always. His fingers gracefully moving over the keys.

I slowly and quietly walk over to him and like always he scoots over to make room for me on the bench. We never say anything. We just sit there and listen. Eventually I always lay my head against his shoulder and fall asleep. I don't know why but in these nights of music filled silence I feel at peace. He's never said a word about me leaning on him. It just feels natural and every time I fall asleep. But when I wake up I'm always in my bed as if nothing happened. Like I never left. Sometimes I wonder if it's all just a dream.

The next day everyone went back to work and school and left me and Yoongi at the house again. Only this time it was different. This time around noon I heard a knock on the front door. I furrowed my eyebrows and went to check it. When I opened the door I was met with a group of eight men that I had never seen before.

"Are you the one that killed Jackson and his boys?"
