Lie // BTS x GOT7 Mafia Au

Part 8

Hoseok POV 

I walked back downstairs to where the other two guys were, confusion running through my mind. Why do I feel bad this time? We've done this hundreds of times, keeping people hostage. We've shown no mercy when destroying their lives, their families, their happiness. So why do I feel so awful when it's happening to Y/N. All the people I've pretended to befriend, all the people we've led here. And yet, it's different this time. It feels wrong. Like she's too special, too important and caring to be in this situation. The people we usually do this to have done wrong; worked for the enemy, stolen money, lied, betrayed, killed. So maybe it's because she's innocent... because she hasn't done anything wrong. 

I ponder as I make my way back to the living space to find Jin and Jimin sitting watching some boring action movie. I head to the fridge and grab a drink before joining the two on the large sectional. My mind won't stop. I can't stop thinking about how awful I feel. I consider asking the boys if they feel the same way when suddenly, Jimin speaks. 

"You know, this Y/N girl is way too nice to be stuck in this situation. I feel for her." he speaks confidently. "I don't know if either of you are feeling the same way, but she doesn't deserve this. She's just a young college student who's been thrown into an awful situation." He states with a solemn look on his face. 

"I know what you're saying, but evil runs in her blood. She might seem sweet, maybe even sincere, but I can promise there's a darkness in her. None of this weakness, she's got bad written all over that nice girl act" Jin replies, not averting his gaze from the TV. I look to Jimin, his face mirroring mine. 

"I befriended this girl, hyung. I listened to her story, gave her a shoulder to cry on. If you think she's evil, you're crazy" I replied protectively. "Besides, were no better.. right? We've stolen, we've betrayed, we've attacked, we've killed. You can't tell me we're any better than them". 

Jin looks over at me, his face now laced with anger. "Come and tell me that again after we've done the same shit they've done. Come tell me that again when we've reach that level. When we've killed innocent. When we've committed crimes for fun. When we've done something without reason. Come tell me that again when we're so sick in the head we'll ruin someones life for fucking nothing. Take away their family without remorse and left them to loneliness" Jin spits, raising his voice slightly. Clearly the situation has his a nerve. Silence falls for a few moments, no one looking at each other. That's when Jimin slowly raises his head, parting his lips to speak. 

"That's what were doing to Y/N" he says harshly. "She's done nothing wrong. She might come from a bad place, a bad family, but that doesn't mean she's evil. We've taken her from her home for no reason. We threatened to kill her for no reason. We made her think her best friend and his family were fucking dead. And for what? No fucking reason at all. When did it get this bad? When did we stop doing the right thing and start doing the wrong?" Jimin spills, anger coming forward in his voice. 

"He's right" I reply, standing up for Jimin. "When did it all turn into this? How did we all end up in this situation". I was angry, and clearly so was Jimin. "This has turned into something much deeper than having each others backs. This has become dangerous, lethal, even scary".  As me and Jimin look at each other, Jin slowly stands up, looking down at the two of us with daggers. He inhales slowly, before exhaling in the same way; closing his eyes and finally readjusting them to that of a calmer expression. 

"You two are way out of line. Don't start talking nonsense... you two signed up for this. You could've walked away, left the city when the option was there. But you chose to stay. You've known for years what being friends with Namjoon and Yoongi was gonna lead to, and you chose to stick it out. And here we are, years later- all together like we planned. But if you're planning on leaving, good luck on doing it alive" he paused. "I'm going to sleep, and I think you should too" he begins to walk out of the room. "And wake up with better attitudes... these ones fucking suck". He states standing in the doorway. As he goes to close the door, he stops. "This is what you got for being fiends with a Mafia bosses son. Don't act surprised" and with that he was gone, leaving Jimin and I shocked. Without a word, we decid to head for the door and up the stairs. As we wonder along the dimly lit corridor, we walk past Y/Ns room, looking at the door before turning to eachoter. 

"Goodnight. Sleep well" Jimin states monotonously before retreating into the room opposite Y/N's. 

"Goodnight, you too" I reply as he closes his door. I stood for a few moments staring intently at her door before continuing down the hallway and into my room, closing the door slowly and dropping straight into bed, knocking out instantly.
