Safe And Sound [Taekook]

chap 9

Tae's heart was drilling in his chest as he slipped from the man's arms.

He scurried his way to the door
and yanked it open as fast as he could, escape being the only thing to occupy his mind.

But the very moment he stepped outside, was the moment he wished to return.

He'd never in his life, thought that the darkness would be more welcoming than the bright outdoors, but the blood at his feet proved otherwise.

His stomach churned, his body trembling as he stared wide eyed.

The faint, familiar scent
that should have spread warmth throughout his body, set a chill in his bones.

'Kookie?'

His mind went fuzzy as he continued to stare.

He stood there, unmoving
not noticing the shadow that loomed over his body, until a hand was placed softly over his eyes.

He gulped harshly, his body feeling as though he was in freezing water as tears slipped silently, down his cheeks.

"What's your name, little one?"

...

Yoongi's brows threatened to merge with his hairline as he stared down at the clothing in his arms, his eyes wide in shock.

He jumped slightly when the door to the cabin slammed shut.
Tossing the shirt aside, he hurries after the boy. "Wait!"

Yoongi ripped the door open, barely getting a foot out before hearing a calm voice.

"Yoongi."

Nearly tripping over his own feet, Yoongi turned, almost running straight into a concerned Jin,
who had himself pressed against the wall of the cabin holding the Omega securely in his arms, one hand over his eyes.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he takes a moment to appreciate how nimble the little guy was.

Jin held the shaking Omega closer to his body, looking at him with pity filled eyes as he spoke. "Who's this, and where's his shirt?."

Yoongi rubbed at the back of his neck. "I don't actually know, he wouldn't tell me his name. I found him hiding out inside."

Jin raised one of his eyebrows. "What about his shirt?"

"I picked him up, but he went all boneless on me, and slipped out of his shirt." Yoongi looked almost embarrassed as he explained.

Jin nodded his head, eyes looking concentrated as he scanned the area, making sure to keep the child's eyes securely covered. "We need to take him away from here."

There was a small pause, Yoongi had a bad feeling about this. "..To the camp?"

Jin shook his head, making sure to avoid eye contact as he said what he was sure to anger the beta. "To the house."

Yoongi grimaced, he knew he'd say that. "No."

Jin gave the other a stern look as he began to speak. "Yoong-"

"-No, Jin. Do you not get it? We already have a mouth to feed, thanks to you, and now you want to bring another one? We don't have enough to feed ourselves let alo-"

"I wasn't asking." Jin raised his voice slightly as he interrupted Yoongi, being very careful not to startle the already fearful omega.

Yoongi wanted to argue further, but the look on the olders face was enough to shut him up.

Pushing past Yoongi, Jin walked to the bag he had abandoned on the floor, his nose twitching slightly as he slowed by the door to the cabin, a tell that there's a smell in the air he doesn't exactly like.
