The blood in the dusk - A BTS fanfiction

17.

*Next day*

Minna's POV
I woke up to the sound of rain pouring against the windows. I looked outside and it was darker which made me check the time.
It was 6:30 am. I glanced at Anna she was still asleep. Probably tired from yesterday. She got the leg cramp again when we found out our last clue. The boys took turns and carried her since our last destination was up the mountain.
We couldn't be the first team but fortunately we were the second team that reached the destination. Anna blamed herself for the time being but all of us cheered her up for the rest of the day.
Shaking yesterday's thoughts away, i did my morning routine and went out to see the boys already awake.
"Oh you guys are up already?", I asked after greeting good morning.
"Yeah. The dance teacher came by so we ended up being the ones to open the door", Jungkook answered.
"Oops! I guess i'm a heavy sleeper", I giggled.
"What did the teacher say anyways?", I asked.
"Well he said since it's pouring hard so they had to cancel today's activities. And instead we're gonna practice indoor for the competition tomorrow", Taehyung explained.
"What a relief!! *yawns* we can finally rest today", Anna lazily showed up.
"Gosh! You're still lazy!", I complained as she sat down on the dining chair next to us and put her head on the table, closing her eyes.
Silence, was what i received in response.
I sighed and shook my head at her.
"Let's start practicing after breakfast", Taehyung spoke while chuckling at the situation.
"Okay Anna-ssi?!!", He purposedly bent near Anna's ear and raised his voice causing her to flinch.
"YAHH!", She shrieked.
All of us couldn't help but laugh.

We were finally done with the dance practice. The four of us sat down anywhere we found the space. Since we too tired to walk to the couch.
"Ugh as much as tiring it was, it was fun too", Anna said. And we could help but agree.
"I agree!! But i want a drink right now!", Jungkook complained.
"Then go and have one!", I teased.
"There's none in our kitchen. We gotta get it from the supply room and I am too lazy to go there", Jungkook whined.
Taehyung laughed, "i'll go and bring it!"
He said and jungkook sighed in relief.
"Cold coffee for me juseyooo", Anna pleaded Taehyung.
"I swear you guys are 5 year olds sometime", Taehyung chuckled as he grabbed his coat.
I saw him glancing at the two who were now busy watching something on Jungkook's phone and then back at me.
He secretly motioned me to follow him out. And i nodded slightly.
"Guys! I'll be out for fresh air. I'll be back in a few minutes", I told them as soon as Taehyung went out the door. The two just nodded, too engrossed in the phone to give me a glance.
I just shook my head at them and went out.
As soon as i went out the door, i saw Taehyung waiting for me.
He gave me a smirk as soon as he saw me.
"Okaaayyy... but why are we meeting secretly?", I asked him with a teasing tone.
He laughed and put his hand out. I glanced at his hand and then back at him.
He gestured me to take his hand. And i obliged.
He grinned and dragged me to somewhere with him.
The rain had stopped by this time. It was 8:45 pm already. The roll call had ended. Which means we're sneaking out.
It was okay to get something from the supply room but it wasn't okay to wander around this time.
Taehyung lead me further into the woods and soon we stopped by the cliff which had a beautiful stream down it.
Ofcourse it was dangerous at this time. Even the sound was scary but if you focus on the clear sky above, filled with stars, you feel at peace.
Taehyung down on the edge of the cliff and i copied his actions.
We didn't exchange any words for a few seconds.
I kept on starring at the stars as Taehyung spoke up, interrupting my thoughts.
"What's on your mind?", He asked.
I sighed and shook my head before replying, "Nothing really... it's just that... at times like this i miss My brother and Jimin. The dance practice earlier reminded me so much of when we used to dance back then. Hoseok oppa would always scold because I wasn't really interested in every practices. Back then, i hated tiring myself out", I trailed off.
"Tell me", He spoke.
"Huh?"
"Tell me how it used to be back then", he asked.
"Well... Hoseok and Jimin were the most dedicated ones. Dancing was their passion. I know it's strange how two of the most high ranked agents were passionate about dancing. But Hoseok Oppa always wanted to become a choreographer. He couldn't become one after our dad went missing. He, too, was a member of special forces. I was around 10 years old when one day dad went on a mission and never came back. We didn't know if he died or was alive. We still don't know. All we were told was that he went missing. That was the reason Hoseok Oppa sacrificed his dream and worked hard to become an agent. Jimin followed him because it somewhat attracted him. The four of us had always practiced martial arts when we were younger because of our dads since Jimin and Anna's dad are military officers too. But we used to make new choreographies and challenged each other back then alot. That was why he thought of buying a studio. He asked Anna and I to be the main instructors or guides for our younger generation so they could pursue their dream. I still remember how Jimin used to get jealous back then", I said bringing up a new memory.
"Jealous?", Taehyung asked as if i was telling a really interest story.
I gave him slight smile before continuing, "yeah... Jimin used to get jealous over Anna alot. Whenever Hoseok Oppa and Anna would collab and work on a choreography, he'd secretly make her videos or just watch them with a serious face. But he hadn't confessed to her beck then. It was interesting seeing all that"

*flashback*

*end of flashback*

"I wish... i just wish they'd watch over us tomorrow", I spoke as a tear escaped my eye.
Taehyung instantly felt the gloomy mood and leaned towards me to take a look at my face which made him detect the tear and wipe it away gently with his thumb.
"Trust me they will", He assured as he looked dead my eyes.
"Tell.. tell me something about yourself", I asked. His expressions hardened as broke the eye contact.
"I think we should let it be..", he trailed off.
"Why? Why can't you tell me about yourself? Don't you trust me?", I questioned with my eyes furrowed.

Taehyung's POV

I gulped at her question.
I wanted to scream it out to her. I want to tell her everything i went through. I want to tell her that her brother and best friend is alive. I want to tell her how bad i feel after hurting Jimin that day.
I want to tell her how my so called dad used to force me to sleep with other girls. I want to tell how i grew up watching that bastard beating the shit out of my mother. I want to tell her how i got beaten to death whenever i refused to his filthy deeds.
But I can't. I can't tell her because i'm afraid i might lose her. I'm afraid i'll disgust her. I'm afraid she won't trust me again.
I'm Sorry Minna-yah, but i can't answer you.
I took a deep breath before turning to her, "of course i trust you. I have a very long story, and it's already late"
She pursed her lips with out arguing or saying anything in response.
I don't know what had gotten into me but soon i found myself leaning in towards her. My gaze went up to eyes from her lips. Only to stare deeply in her eyes as i leaned forth.

Minna's POV

I could help but stare back. It was if i was in a daze.
And before i could even process, it happened again.
His lips perfectly fitting with mine.
Subconsciously, I responded to the sweet kiss as he pulled me closer to him.
My hands went around his neck as he pulled on his lap. And soon i ended up on the cold grass, he hovered over me as the kiss got intensified.
After a while, We parted only to have our breathings highly accelerated and huge smiles on our faces, with a hint of blush.

*Next day*

It was finally the day of the competition and we were pretty hyped up.
All of us gathered around the area where the teachers had instructed us and damn the platform was so cool! It was outdoor, in pure day light. Huaaa!!!
The seatings were just making it look like a mini concert since they were in a U shape and like stairs.
I wasn't expecting that the staff would arrange something like this but it was so cool!
It was 15 minutes before the competition starts. The four of us went and sat down next to Bomin's group. Our performances was somewhere in the middle so we were cool for now.
The sequence was one performance from senior section, the next from junior and sequence continued.
Many of the groups perform and thankfully they were all energetic performances matching the theme really well.
I wish Hoseok and Jimin would see. I glanced up at the sky and sighed.
'I'm sure they will', Taehyung's voice rang in my head from last night. And soon i found myself turning hot as i remembered the kiss.
Taehyung soon nudged me, pulling me out my dirty thoughts and told me that we are now to go back stage.

*Author's POV

Anna, Jungkook, Minna and Taehyung got up from there places and started making there way towards the backstage but Taehyung stopped and turned back around, he handed his phone to Bomin and asked him to record their performance with the perfect angle possible.
He then made his way to his group with a big smile on his face, ready to rock the stage.

"Let's get this done!"
