Sacrifices (vkook)

"No."

"No?"

"No. We're not separating." Jungkook says shaking his head. "We'll figure something else out but I don't want to separate."

"There's no other way, you'll only be separated for a day if everything goes as planned." Junho says, his frustration with the three of them showing.

    "And if something goes wrong? I don't want him away from me." Jungkook argues.

    "He's safer with me than he is with you, trust me." Junho argues back. "Just go with it."

    "I don't care, we're staying together." Jungkook says with a final tone.

    "Can you just accept that he's in more danger with you than he is without you?" Junho says, he knows that Jaewook was saying the same thing.

    "Can you guys stop talking like I'm not sitting right here." Taehyung huffs. "I don't feel good about any of this."

    "You have to trust us, Tae. I'd never put you in a situation I didn't think you were safe in." Jaewook says looking at Taehyung. "Trust me, alright?"

    "You guys haven't said one thing to make me trust you." Jungkook says, which was a faire statement considering they barely knew these guys.

"Jae, talk to them. I'm going to disconnect the cameras." Junho says standing and grabbing the bag he had been carrying on his shoulder.

"How'd you even have time to install cameras in here?" Jungkook asks as Junho goes to the tv stand and taking one of the vases and pulling out one of the fake flowers.

"It was actually pretty easy, didn't even take fifteen minutes." Junho answers.

"H-How many are there?" Taehyung asks.

"Hm..." Junho stops to pull out his phone. "Five upstairs, six downstairs and eight surrounding the house."

"Why?" Jungkook asks, the thought of so many cameras watching them for the past six months making him uncomfortable.

"To make sure nothing happened to you guys." Jaewook says. "We weren't just spying on you for the hell of it."

Jungkook sighs shaking his head. "This entire situation is insane."

Taehyung tugs on Jungkook's sleeve to get his attention.

"What is it, Tae?" He asks turning to his fiancé who looks like he's gonna cry.

"I don't feel good." Taehyung says quietly.

"I'm gonna help Jun get the cameras." Jaewook says standing. "We're gonna need a solid answer before we leave tonight."

"Alright." Jungkook says watching the other two closely as they disappear to another part of the house.

He turns to Taehyung who wipes his eyes with the back of his hands.

"Hey, it's okay, Tae." He tries to comfort the other.

"They're t-trying to kill me. It's not okay. Nothing's okay." Taehyung cries. "Why can't she just fucking leave us alone?"

"I know, I know, baby. But it's gonna have to be okay. I won't let anything happen to you, you have to believe me." Jungkook says taking Taehyung's hand. "I won't let anything happen to you."

Taehyung nods but everything inside him is telling him that something isn't right.

Something's wrong and he can't quite pinpoint what it is.

"Do you think we can trust them?" He asks Jungkook who sighs.

"We're gonna have to." Jungkook says. "Even if we're separated for a little while, we'll be together again. And if something goes wrong, I'll find you and we'll do whatever we have to do. I won't lose you, Tae. I won't. I can't, baby."

Taehyung wraps his arms around Jungkook's neck and hugs him close.

"I love you, Jungkook. No matter what happens to me~"

"Don't, Tae~"

"What ever happens, I'll love you." Taehyung says. "Okay?"

"What are you doing, Tae?" Jungkook asks pulling away from the hug. "Why are you acting like you're saying goodbye?"

"I'm not, but if something happens~"

"Nothing's going to happen." Jungkook says sternly. "We'll be fine."

Taehyung nods even though he knows that Jungkook isn't sure at all if they will be okay.

Jaewook and Junho return with all their cameras.

"Are you guys solid on an answer?" Junho asks.

Taehyung stands and leaves the room, he hates crying in front of people.

    "Yeah, we'll go through with it." Jungkook says standing.

    "Great. There are a few downsides to the plan though." Jaewook starts. "First, you have to cut all ties with your friends without telling them you're leaving. You can't leave any trace that you were ever even in this house, so pack all your things and empty the cabinets and refrigerators by the end of the week. Don't be suspicious about anything, no one can know you're planning to leave. Especially anyone at work."

    "What's gonna happen to Haeun? Is she coming with us?" Jungkook asks, hoping she wasn't. He couldn't handle putting three important lives at risk because of him.

    "She doesn't have much of a choice. We can't leave her in Seoul with your mother." Jaewook says. "She'll be with Junho as well."

    "Why can't she come with us?" Jungkook asks, the thought of being separated from Taehyung and his unborn child was unsettling by itself but leaving them with some guy he barely knew made it worse.

    "It's best if she stays with Junho. He's been doing this longer than I have and I don't want to mess anything up with you, my sister, and a baby on my hands." Jaewook says checking his watch. "We gotta go, we can't give you any more details as of now but if things change we'll send a message. See you guys Sunday."

Jungkook nods and lets the two show themselves to the door and out of the house.

Jungkook goes upstairs to find Taehyung and when he does the other is sitting on the bed with one of the stuffed animals Hobi got him for when he was little.

    "Taeby?" He asks making the other look up with sad eyes. "Are you okay baby?"

Taehyung shakes his head and looks down. "Scared."

Jungkook's sighs and joins the other on the bed. "You don't have to be scared, you know daddy won't let anything bad happen to you. Don't you, baby?"

Taehyung nods, tugging at the ears of his bunny stuffy.

"Come here, baby." Jungkook says opening his arms.

Taehyung scoots closer and lets Jungkook wrap his arms around him.

"I won't let anything happen to you, Tae. I promise."
