Barcode Tattoo

Kimbap

You lift your hand, curl your fingers to meet your temple, and press slightly.

Your eyes cloud over and meet with a dark green screen in front of you. You see a menu with icons at the left saying, 'Messages'. This feature is a yellow circle that blinks.

'Appearance Changer' is underneath Messages and is a blue rectangle with an 'A' on it. 'Tracker' is a diamond-shaped red icon that looks menacing.

You force your eyes over to look at the Messages icon and it opens. You become spammed with tons of emails from the members, congratulating you on opening your own mindchip.

You sift through these and compose a message about your tag name to everyone. You look up to the red 'X' and close out of your mail. You then look at the Appearance Changer and change your hair to navy.

You're met back with the menu screen and you roll your eyes. Your eyes start clearing up and you're brought back to the dock.

   "So glad you could make it back Y/N!" Jungkook exclaims, jumping around, sneaking a hand around your waist.

You little rat.

The rest of the members show their appreciation. "Enough of that, we need to get moving," Namjoon responds harshly, walking away.

Capitol Resistance moves down a gray cobbled path as they go by a trail of signs. Once they reach the subway sign, they take a right and are met with a low-ceiling subway station with the words 'BU Station' glittering off the shiny metal exterior.

   "Wow, what a trip this subway station is." Jimin snorts, squinting at the logo of the station.

The group enters the station and is encountered with a cool breeze of air conditioning, and turnstile.

Neon signs show the path of the hovertrains and display advertisements. Citizens crowd the platforms between the pathways of the trains. "We're looking for train F5." Namjoon announces in his leader-like voice.

CR looks around to find a sign in Korean with 'Hovertrain F5' on it. The members wait with their suits turned on until they load into the semi-vacant train. The train starts as the members sway with the movements of the train.

   The train takes twenty minutes to reach Yeongdo-Gu, and when the group steps off, they are met by market stalls selling fresh kimbap.

"Ooh, Y/N, would you be so nice and get me some?" Seokjin pleads, handing you a crisp 1,000 won note. "Ugh, fine. Only if we get to share." You respond, hungry as well.

You walk up to the vendor and asks for samgak kimbap. You look up and recognize the vendor too late. "Hello, Y/N," Dr. Gwan responds, his lips turning into a devilish smile. He knows CR is disguised as guards.

"Would your kimbap be four count or six count?" Dr. Gwan asks, while turning his back to you. "S-six count would be great." You say, stunned.

How does he know I am here? Did he follow me with his guards? Should the boys hide?

Dr. Gwan hands you the kimbap and says that it's free of charge, his treat. As you walk over to the group, Seokjin notices something and looks terrified. "There's something behind you, Y/N. We need to hide."

At those words, you drop your kimbap, and CR runs into the nearest building, a drugstore, as guards charge after you.

   "Dr. Gwan and his guards are here. Who saw the first signs?" Namjoon pants, crouching down in Aisle 2. Jungkook raises his hand. "I saw the first sign, when I saw the helicopters in the sky back in Busan."

You and Taehyung nod your heads in agreement. "Shit!" Yoongi yells as the guards break into the store. All of CR grabs their weapons ready to fight.

You take out your foldable hoverboard as a guard comes near you. You swing the board and hit the neck of the guard as its head crashes into a cash register.

Holy shit.

   The guard still advances, so you take your board and hack off their metal covered arms. You pick up a piece of the arm off the floor and stab it into the guard's chest. The guard sputters blood and falls over.

Another guard comes your way, and you take the guard who is on the floor, pick it up, and throw it at the guard. You look around and see a guard fighting Hoseok.

You go towards Hoseok and sneak up on the guard. You take your board and make contact with the guard, its body stops moving. As the guard falls, you see Hoseok, tired but eyes full of relief.

"Thanks, Y/N." Hoseok says, as he hugs you over the guard's body. What a sweetie. Guard bodies lie all over the floor. "Where did Dr. Gwan go?" Jimin asks, looking pissed off. "I saw him flee toward a train. That little shit." Taehyung says angrily.

The members exit the building and walk out into a red sunset. "Off towards a black prison tomorrow. We are sticking to schedule no matter what." Namjoon informs.

As the group walks, Jungkook stays back to talk with you. "Hey, great job fighting Grant. You looked sexy while doing it." Jungkook says, tucking a piece of stray hair behind your ear.

"Thanks Jungkook. You looked badass too."

   "You haven't even seen what else I can do." Jungkook whispers in your ear. You blush, taken aback. He snickers at your reaction.

Jungkook leaves you and moves forward in the group to talk to Jimin. The group walks until they find a cafe to eat at. They decide to stop because you and Seokjin have been hungry ever since you dropped your kimbap. Capitol Resistance enters the cafe.

Taehyung sits by you in the upscale cafe. He decides to converse with you. "So you're talking to Jungkook, eh?" Taehyung says, his dark eyebrows furrowing.

"What is your deal, Taehyung?" You say, pissed off at him being so protective for no reason.
