Chapter 51- Yoongi.

"Hurry up Yoongi! We can't miss this train!" Hunny yelled at the boy as they hastily grabbed their belongings from the trunk of the taxi.

Yoongi panted heavily as they ran at full speed towards their train. He almost fell once or twice, tripping on his own tired feet, but the growing fear in his chest pushed him to continue running.

"Thank god..." the girl gasped as she fell to the floor of the train carriage, her luggage messily discarded at her sides as the train door shut tight behind them. Yoongi was in a similar position. Squinting his eyes shut as his chest burned and he drank in desperate breaths of air.

After collecting themselves and their belongings, ignoring the hateful flares of the other passengers, the pair got seated at a little booth like area with a table between them.
They loaded their bags above them before falling into the two couch like seats.
It was a cold, dark morning, only around 4am. January wasn't merciful to them in the slightest.

"Just a few hours Yoongi, then we can start fresh." Hunny tried to offer the boy some sense of comfort.
It had only been less than an hour prior that he left his lovely safe home.
His warm bed.
His two lovers.

The reality didn't hit Yoongi until they arrived in Daegu. It was ironic in a way. Yoongi left Daegu as a young orphaned child, fleeing to the city to find something better, only to flee it once again.
It was a bittersweet feeling to be back.

They arrived at a motel. It was horrible. A cheap double bed that stank terribly, damp, sticky carpets, broken tv and no working hot water. Great.

"I'll call my friend about that apartment tomorrow. Then we'll start searching for new jobs..." the girl mumbled softly as she lay out some clean blankets atop the bed. She looked up to see the blue haired boy staring at his phone.

She walked up behind him and placed her hand tentatively on his shoulder.
"You have to get rid of it Yoongi. They'll come looking, and if they find you... so will Julian."

The boy bit his lip and turned off the phone. The last picture of he and his lovers slowly darkening before he walked over to the window, and threw the phone as hard as he could against the tarmac ground. He jumped and stepped onto the device, harsh grunts and angry tears flowing down his cheeks as he did so, until he was satisfied with the damage.

Hunny felt like shit. If she had just been brave enough to leave a few years ago, she could have avoided all of this.

"I'm so sorry for pulling you back Yoongi..." she silently apologised, sitting on the edge of the bed as Yoongi finally came back in and locked the door behind him.

"Hunny... don't apologise. I mean, what did I expect?"

The pain evident in the boys voice caused Hunny to look up, to which her heart shattered.

Tears ran down his cheeks, yet his face was emotionless. His eyes seemed glazed over in a cloud of raw pain. His body stood limp, no movement nor energy.

"I was a fool to think I could just run away from my problems... an idiot to fall in love again. Now they're in danger. What if he hurts them and I'm not there?!" He finally lifted his face to meet the girls fear filled eyes.
"What if he kills them like he did to Namjoon?"

Hunny ran to the boy and grabbed him by his shoulders.
"He won't. He won't if you're not there to see the damage," she explained with painful honesty that made Yoongi cry more.
"As horrible as it is Yoongi, they're safer when you're separated from them."

She let go of the boy and took a step back, giving him some space.
"We need to be smarter now Yoongi. Julian won't give up easy, he'll probably find another... another pawn like me to do his dirty work..." she angry clenched her jaw. Yoongi brought her hand into his own and gave a reassuring squeeze.
