Pied Piper (Kim Namjoon x Reader)

Chapter 21

Maybe it was your lucky day or his careless mistake. But the Prime Minister had left his office unguarded. Normally, he would lock it, or have someone else watch over it. But he must have been excited to forget to take care of that. You shook your head, the image of him touching you still haunts you. After collecting yourself, you steadily approached his desk.

The drawer where he had stuffed the papers from earlier was locked. You cursed for being too excited too soon. But then you took a pin from your hair, remembering something the Hoseok had taught you 'incase you were ever kidnapped'. You wish you could thank him now, though you have no idea where he is or how he's doing. He's alive, at least you know that. After jingling with the lock a little bit more, the drawer finally slid open. Papers filled up to the top. For an evil genius, the Prime Minister sure is messy. But he must have been in a hurry when you came in.

The first few pages were crumbled. Like you had guessed, they weren't notes from meetings or official documents. They were letters or scrambled notes he had written in a hurry. Most of the letters were in Japanese, and you wondered if you could copy them quickly since you didn't have your phone. But the notes were in Korean, so you started with those.

One was dated sometimes last year. Japanese correspondent, scar across his face, family man, father of 3. Received 1,127,255,000 won for military in South. The second one was three months ago, Moving forward with plans, eliminating targets. The next one was two weeks ago, met with correspondence, same man, sent news about dead king. Rewarded with land in Osaka. The last one is from today, Crown Prince looking for wife, offered 4,507,820,000 won, Ha Eun?

You dropped the note, uneasiness crawling over your body. That's what he was talking about on the phone earlier. He's going to marry Ha Eun off to the Japanese Prince, a man notorious for his temper and appetite for violence. You heard about his numerous scandals with models and actresses. You couldn't even imagine what he would do with Ha Eun.

But the notes in your hand proves that Daehan is betraying his country, he's practically selling the country over to Japanese control. The papers crumbled further under your hold. You thought about ways to get this to the Prince. If you set foot outside the house, the guards will surely kill you. If only you had someone to deliver the papers. You thought about Jimin since he often goes over to the palace and could give these to the Prince. However, that would put him at risk, even if it's his father, he'll still be punished harshly. You couldn't do that to him. Honestly, you never really thought about how you would send intel back once you've found them. In the heat of the moment, all you could think about was not dying.

"What the hell are you doing?" you looked to see Jungkook occupying the space in front of the door, Jimin right behind him You were so occupied in your thoughts that you didn't hear the door opening. You quickly hid the papers behind you.

"Jung-"

"I said what the hell are you doing here?" he stalked over to you, reaching for the content behind your back with success. He scanned the papers, his eyes never wavering. "What are these?"

"Proofs of your father's treason to the country. It's all there, you have to believe me." What he did next was unexpected, it was what Madame Lee did to you this morning, only a hundred times more painful. You heard Jimin gasping loudly and moved to hold his brother back. You laid frozen on the floor, your tongue tasting the iron.

"Jungkook, what the hell? Don't hurt her!" Jimin yelled.

"Jimin, I don't understand why you're siding with her. She killed the King and now she's framing our father." Jungkook said through his teeth. His big eyes fuming with anger and loathing towards you. He went over to you, resembling his own father, and kicked your stomach.

"Jungkook, stop." Jimin wedged himself between his brother and you. You saw his body trembling. Jimin was always the more quiet twin. You heard that he got that from his mother. He loves cats, anything fluffy like himself, and cuddles. Jungkook, on the other hand, had the rage of his father. Though not to a huge extent, he could definitely kill you if he has to, to protect his father's honor. You can't blame him.

"Jimin, get away now before I hurt you." Jungkook warned.

"No, Y/N is innocent. I know it."

"Then you're weak, just like mother was. That's why she died, because she couldn't accept reality and killed herself."

"Jungkook stop. Mom only did that because father cheated on her. And you're still defending him."

"Because he's our father. Her," he pointed at you, "She's a complete stranger in our lives. And what's worst is that she committed awful crimes and she must be punished. And since you won't help me," His eyes darkened as he took a step forward practically yanking Jimin to the side, "I'll it myself." He reached for his pocket, digging for something. A smirk appeared once he pulled out a Swiss knife that the Prince had given to him on his 20th birthday. How fitting it was that you would die under his blade. He raised it up without faltering and brought it down.

But instead of the blade in your body, you felt his weight on top of you instead. When you looked up, you saw the face of someone you've been wanting to see. "Oppa!" you exclaimed weakly. Jimin pushed Jungkook's unconscious body off you and helped you up, apparently, he saw Hoseok entering through the window and said nothing.

"I love that kid but he's too dramatic for his own good." Hoseok sighed, "Now give me a hug, I just saved your life." Both you and Jimin ran up to him. His long arms enclosing you both.

"You guys go, hurry before Jungkook wake up." Jimin said.

"Jimin, you can't stay here. It's dangerous for you." Hoseok said. You gathered all the papers and put them in your pockets.

"It'll be dangerous if I'm not here. I can keep an eye out for my father and Jungkook. I'll be careful, I promise. Though you need to do me a favor first."

"What is it?"

"Knock me out. When I wake up, I'll tell Jungkook someone took Y/N. He won't question me." Hoseok gave you a look.

"Sleep well, Jiminie." And then Jimin fell.
