Boy Meets D.Evil

BAD ENDING#1: Jungkook and Taehyung

Hana really left me... in the middle of nowhere... while hounds are after me. We were so close to the truth! It must be that Boyce! He's already proved he's heartless!

Shit, they're close, I should run. But where?! The house was supposed to be there! What I came up with is waiting for plague doctor then revealing their face. Sounds pretty impossible when I'm running for my life from hell hounds that could probably find me no matter where I hide. And how the fuck am I going to remove the plague doctor's mask? Why did Hana have to leave... was it something I said? If I had only one person beside me, I could execute this easily. We could get rid of the hounds and corner plague doctor, I suppose it was they who put the cage around us anyway.

One of the hounds managed to catch up and leapt forwards, I jumped aside and nearly lost balance but continued to run with the wind. I don't think I can maintain the distance between us anymore... just thinking of Hana abandoning me like this sends a sharp pain through my chest and makes the air leave my lungs. My legs are giving in, I'm huffing and trying to breathe properly but it's not working. 

What's the point anymore? I've come this far only for the source of my motivation to leave me. Hana obviously doesn't want to get back to life, she even said it a few times. Doesn't she have a promise to keep though? Well, it was her who gave up first, not me. I... I can't go on like this...

The hound bit on my leg and I fell, immediately rolled on my back and protected my head with my arms just in time. It dug its teeth deep into my left arm, claws ripped across my chest and held me in place. I tried to open its mouth to free my hand but it quickly bit back like a piranha and I yelled from the unbearable pain. Blood soaked everything, it even ended up on my face. 

Twigs and leaves rustled as someone approached me struggling for my life. Wearily, I looked up and saw the plague doctor just standing next to us without saying a word. 

With every drop of blood leaving me, life was simultaneously flowing out of me too. This has to be some kind of a nightmare, I feel like I'm sleeping and just letting things happen to me because I'm too weak and not truly aware of the situation. It's... really over. 

Damn it, I thought I was able to save my friend. But I failed, both times. 

Am I... crying? I don't remember when was the last time I felt this bad, disappointed and just genuinely sad. Nari, Hana, mum, dad... they all died because of me. Seokjin is gone, and we have no idea if we're ever going to see him again. 

A desperate chuckle left my mouth, quickly after I took a deep breath in hopes to clear the clouds in my mind but I couldn't stop laughing at my misery. What was I thinking? Who am I to meddle with death and nature?

"You're no one, this is the way things should be", they spoke in a deep yet reassuring voice before picking up the scythe above their head.

I closed my eyes and placed my head calmly on the ground, waiting to meet my fate. Instead, a loud gunshot broke the eerie silence. The hound whimpered when it got blown away off of me but I couldn't even flinch at the noise or stand up to run. Another shot got fired and it seems it hit the plague doctor. They dropped the scythe and grabbed the wound on their arm. Someone on my left reloaded the shotgun and picked me off the ground.

I was barely standing on my feet yet the person dragged me to flee from the area as another hound started to chase us. It's no use, I don't have enough energy to run...

The person noticed that and with a sigh turned around and aimed for the hound behind us. Just as it was about to get shot by jumping on us, its ears perked due to a whistle and the hound rapidly changed direction, leaving us alone
