Ripple: BTS AU Story ✓

Chapter 30

Hello! I am back with another chapter. We're on chapter 30! It's crazy. Thank you for continuing to support this book and I can't wait for us to continue this journey as the story moves along. Now, let's get started!

"I still don't understand why you're so against this!" Jimin shouts. The group had gathered in the living room of Namjoon's place, the following morning. They were currently discussing whether or not to go to the location they had found on the note. "I don't understand why all of you are for it!" Yoongi retorts, "It's not going to work out the way you want."

"Maybe not, but it's the only thing we can do right now," Jin says.

Taehyung nods, "We need to go to Incheon. We have to at least have to check the place out."

"We could get in serious trouble. Does no one else think this is a setup?" Yoongi questions.

Namjoon sighs, "Even if it is, we'll make it work. We don't have anything else to go off of at the moment."

"We're all in agreement. We all want to go to the place except you, Yoongi hyung. We all want to go, even if it is dangerous," Jungkook says. The rest of the group nods, agreeing with Jungkook. "Aren't any of you worried? At all?" Yoongi asks, "Hoseok?"

Hoseok frowns, "Of course, I'm worried. I'm as nervous as could be, but we need to know. This could be our chance to fix things. We can't just give it up. I'm willing to go into harm's way if it means we get things back to the way their supposed to be." Yoongi groans and shoots to his feet. He paces back and forth, his hands clenched into tight fists. "I don't get why you're so adamant about it, hyung. It can't just be because you're afraid of us getting hurt," Namjoon states.

"You're right...it isn't just about that," Yoongi says, looking at each of the group in the eye.

Jimin sighs, "Than, what's it about?" Yoongi looks at them again and shakes his head. "I need to go," Yoongi states, walking quickly towards the door. The others eyes all widen, surprised and confused as to what is happening. "What are you talking about?" Jin questions. Yoongi doesn't answer and proceeds to open the door. He leaves Namjoon's place and slams the door shut behind him. "What the heck?" Namjoon mutters, moving towards the door. He opens it and frowns when he sees Yoongi already gone. He shuts the door and walks towards the window. He peers through the glass, but doesn't spot his friend. "Did he actually leave?" Jungkook asks. Namjoon nods and crosses his arms. "Well, whatever, we'll just go to Incheon ourselves," Jimin says, "He didn't want to go anyway."

Hoseok shakes his head, "We need to go find him. We can't be separated for too long either, remember."

"I'm sure he'll come back. It was probably some misunderstanding," Namjoon mutters to himself, "Or was it something else..."

Taehyung looks to the others, "Why did he leave in the first place?" The group falls silent, not really knowing what to do next. "We could split up? Some of us go to Incheon and the others find Yoongi," Jin suggests.

"We don't know what's in Incheon. It would be best for us to all go," Hoseok states, "Safer."

"I still say we go without Yoongi," Jimin says, "If things work out, we find the time machine and change things back. Yoongi doesn't need to be there for us to fix the timeline."

"He should be there. Even if he disagrees with our plan," Namjoon says, "He's a member of BTS. This is his life as well. We're not just leaving him behind. We can't. He's our friend. Our brother. We're stronger together, remember. We're not the same without one of us. Yoongi is a part of the group. A part of us. A part that we need."
