Hunter's Fate (KSJ x Reader)

Chapter Thirty Two

The moment you got back to their new house, which was situated more shut off from the rest of the village, Jin had slipped off his hoodie and pulled it over your head. The others were happy you were back, each and every one of them giving you a smile and a warm hug. You didn't let go of Jin's hand the whole time.
The seven boys you knew hadn't changed much. Yoongi's hair colour was different, Jimin's face was maybe a bit more defined and Taehyung and Jeongguk now had their hands intertwined whilst stealing loving glances at each other. Small differences, but it didn't change the fact that these were the boys you knew and had grown to love. It was as if these past years had been nothing as if it had been merely days since you stayed with Jin in their other house for the last time.
Everyone sat down in the living room together and you fiddled with the strings of the hoodie, hesitating to sit down next to Jin. He pulled you down onto his lap instead, nuzzling his face into your side.

"What happened," you said, barely audible. You wanted to get that out of the way. Everyone looked at their leader, expecting him to explain.

"We managed to get back to the house all of us, but your parents had tracked Minho's phone. He and Mahiro helped us slip away but in return, none of them got away-" Namjoon spoke, trailing off when he saw you avert your eyes to your lap, tears forming but not falling over the edge.

"Even if hunters have never been fond of us, things have been tense since The Kawamura family disappeared. It turns out we shifters were blamed for that. I set up a meeting with the hunter's council to try and get a stop to this whole mindless war thing. Some other alpha's distributed around town and the ones surrounding showed up. Turns out the council didn't know about the crowd your parents amongst others had rounded up."
As Namjoon spoke, Jin drew shapes on your legs and arms with his fingers in a gentle gesture.

"Since they knew your parents were the cause of the Kawamuras unlike the other hunters, they had to admit they were at a wrong and promise us some kind of peace."

"What did you come up with?" 

"Rules. Murder is murder, and they've set up a group of both shifters and hunters that will settle matters like this. It's been a bit up and down but... It's a start. We're trying to make peace."
You felt proud of the people living in your home town trying to sort things out and you smiled faintly as you looked up at Namjoon again. 

"That's good." you simply said. Namjoon frowned slightly. 

"You need to know that Jin tried to look for you and reach you. After all that was sorted, we went back to the house but it was all blood and the scents were so mixed up we could barely pick up on yours"
You leaned back into Jin, shaking your head slightly. 

"It's okay. I didn't know if you were alive either, and when I left I- I couldn't have come back even if I wanted to. I ran out of money pretty much immediately" you admitted. Jin shifted underneath you. 

"That reminds me, what have you been up to these past years?" he asked. 

"Oh yeah! Please tell us you've done fun stuff" Taehyung smiled. You smiled back and squirmed out of Jin's grip to sit next to him. He pouted and you squished his cheek. 

"Calm down, Jin. I just want to be able to look at your handsome face," you told him and you heard Jimin giggle. "I didn't do much in the beginning, I felt... Empty? I was scared. But then I met this sweet older lady who let me sleep in her guest bedroom and who cooked me meals and wiped my tears when I cried. In return, I helped her in her flower shop, and when I had money for it I got into this programme for people who have experienced psychological torture and other kinds of trauma. And I guess maybe this sounds... Sad? But I think I needed that." you told them as they listened intensively.  Jin leaned over to press a kiss to your lips. 

"I'm really happy that you're not only alive but well." he smiled, the whole time looking at you like you were the only person in the room. The only one he had eyes for. 

"I told you to trust your instincts" Yoongi piped up. Jin shrugged. 

"Yeah, she's my mate after all!" Jin beamed. "That means we..." he intertwined your fingers together, raising them up to place a kiss on the back of your hand. Somehow you must have forgotten how much his words affected you, how much his touches made your body so weak and so strong at the same time. Or maybe your feelings had simply grown whilst being apart. Either way, when he finished his sentence you felt tears fill up your eyes again. This is where you belong.

"We are fated to be together"
