Chapter 23 - It's me...

Sorry! I forgot that I didn't update last week so you can have a double update!

The next morning, when Tae awoke, Namjoon was still sitting, sending death glares in Yoongi's direction.

"Joon? You didn't sleep all night?"

"No."

Tae could sense that the man was prickly due to lack of sleep and the fact he had been reading papers behind his back...

Speaking of papers... Today was the day a new one should be in place!

A grin tickled his lips as he stood up.

"I'm going to see Hobi-hyung." He said quietly so not to wake the others. "Don't kill Yoongi while I'm gone and make sure Jungkook eats something before you go to work."

Without waiting for the older man's response, he fled the den, jogging through the opening and down the alley.

Glancing up at the town clock, he saw that he had a good hour and a half before he needed to go to Hoseok's, so he decided to go and see if the paper was there already.

When the park came into view, he caught a glimpse of someone in a long black coat, black trousers and black gloves placing something in the bin carefully. Jin - but something was the matter...

The man's movements were slow - almost fatigued - and even from a distance Tae could sense the negative energy.

Slowly, he approached Jin, who looked up.

That was when Tae could tell something big was going on. Kim Seokjin was crying.

"Jin?" He said softly, going closer.

"I warned you..." The man mumbled. "I tried so hard! I TRIED SO HARD!"

Though Tae flinched at the loudness of his voice, the people around him didn't appear to have heard anything.

"Jin...I-"

"I'm sorry Taehyung." Jin interrupted. "Everything is down to you now. I can do no more."

With that, the man disappeared, leaving Tae in a state of utter confusion.

What could he possibly have meant?

Was he just upset that he had saved Yoongi and gone against his wishes? No. Jin wasn't that petty...

With a sigh, he moved forward towards the bin where a paper was lying like always.

Reaching in, he pulled it out and unfolded it.

Suddenly his breath caught in his throat. His eyes misted up and he struggled to breath...

"No..." He murmured. "No it can't be!"

He fell back onto the path, dropping the paper and gasping as the stones bit into the palms of his hands.

People around him stared in confusion and watched as tears began to stream down his face.

"No...No. no! No! NO! IT CAN'T BE!"

He didn't even realise he was screaming the words until someone came and knelt beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Shh. Hey son. Calm down! Whats wrong? Why did you suddenly burst out like that? Is your mother around?"

Tae panicked, shoving the man away with unintentional roughness. He grabbed the paper and leapt up, sprinting away as fast as he could, which left the people around, and the man on the floor in a rather shocked state.
