demonic (Taekook)

Jungkook woke to find himself gazing up at the familiar white of his ceiling. He rolled over, groaning in pain only to find a unfamiliar man seated against the wall, staring at him. Jungkook rushed to sit up, aiming to make a run for the door, but his legs had other ideas. As soon as his feet hit the cold ground, he was falling, the floor rising to meet him until he was sprawled out on the solid surface. He groaned in pain, eyebrows knitting together at the sight of his bruised and cut legs. He scrambled back until his back collided with his bed as the man against the wall rose to his feet, but didn't step any closer.

"Please calm down, I'm not going to hurt you." The mans voice was calm, almost reassuring.

"Wh-who are you... how did I get here..." Jungkook paused, recalling the disheveled room full of demons... all the pain and terror. He gulped back the bile that rose in his throat at the memory.

The man slowly stepped forward until he was within two feet of him. He crouched down so that he was level with Jungkook. "I'm an old friend of Taehyungs, he asked me to take you here. This is your apartment is it not?"

"Wh-where is Taehyung? Jungkooks voice caught in his throat.

The man didn't answer, he merely cast his eyes slightly to the side, a look of guilt flashing in his eyes briefly.

Jungkook felt ice shoot through his veins

"Where is he." His voice lowered to a whisper this time as his mind waited for the answer he knew was coming

The man hesitated for a moment "I'm not sure... He was supposed to be back by now. He was up against a group of Jimins men the last time I saw him..."

Jungkook felt hot tears spring to his eyes.

"Why would you leave him to fight them alone?!" His voice raised, a slight hysteria playing at the edge of his tone

The man look taken aback "He ordered me to go find you, to take you back here... I-I just did what he asked... you would have probably died if I didn't come when I did"

Jungkook swallowed the panic that rose in his throat. Taehyung would be fine. He told himself over and over again in his mind, calming himself down

The man moved closer, a hand moving to help Jungkook back up the the bed . Jungkook instinctually flinched away at first, but let him help.

"Who are you." Jungkooks voice was cold and devoid of any emotion by this point

"Kim Namjoon."

"Are you the one he called in a favor from?"

The man nodded once "Taehyung helped me a long time ago..." The man looked down at his hands for a long moment before continuing "I was madly in love with a human.. But he died eventually and I was left with nothing." The mans voice wavered as raw pain seeped out "I was uncontrollable for many years, nothing left but hatred and so much pain... Taehyung helped me though." The man looked back up at Jungkook, it almost looked like there were tears in his eyes. "He knew what it as like to lose someone like that... how to recover when it seemed impossible." The man sniffed and looked back down "I swore to help him in any way I could after that. He finally called in the favor after all these years."

Namjoon looked up, a soft dimpled smile on his face "You must mean a hell of a lot to him if hes willing to-"

He stopped before he could finish his sentence, but Jungkook knew what he was going to say.

If hes willing to die for me...

Jungkook looked at the man, desperation in his eyes "Please, go look for him, go help him or something! You cant just leave him to die."
