Abducted; Namjin

Chapter Fourty

Jungkook

"What's are you doing?"
I jump, surprised to see Taehyung standing behind me. Taking in a deep breath to calm myself, I subtly hide the items in my hands and turn around with a little smile. "Nothing. Just checking on all the equipment. I haven't had a chance to check out this medical ward yet since we came on this ship." Sweat forms on my back and forehead as I try to keep my cool.
He frowns at me for a long moment and I panic he's sees through me. "Are you doing okay? Haven't seen you around much."
Gulping, relieved, I nod. "I'm fine. Hot flashes." I grin.
His eyes trail around the room, a much larger medical ward than our own. "And...and the reptilian? You're really pregnant. God, it's a little crazy.." He pauses his gaze on my stomach.
It takes me a long time to form an appropriate response. Should I tell him the truth? I hate Yoongi with a passion. That I'm terrified and disgusted by what I've been forced to become and endure? That I hate nightmares thinking about what my future will soon be?
"He is fine and yes." There. Straightforward facts. No emotion. Can he tell? Can he see the hate and despair in my eyes?
He sighs, shaking his head. "How did our mission come to this? I can't believe..."
"Yeah." I think about his much more partial little partner and huff. "You don't have anything to complain about, at least, though."
His smile is almost blinding and I feel pure envy. "So right. I can't believe how lucky I got."
Ugh, I can't stand his happiness. It's making me even more depressed. "Anyway. I was just heading out. Have you talked to Captain Kim about his brother or our future...Uh, plans?"
     He scratches his head. "Not really. To be honest I was never about this mission. I always thought it was wrong but unfortunately necessary. I'm kinda glad we got derailed before we could make it home." He frowns, looking away. "Now that we've been away from it for so long, it doesn't really feel like home anymore, don't you think?"
     Nodding in agreement, I sigh. "It was a constant stress for me, being there. I was so afraid they would find out about me and force me into many unwanted pregnancies." The irony is not lost on me. Not by a long shot.
     His eyes once again trail down to my stomach. "What...exactly are you carrying, anyway? Can I ask that?" He looks embarrassed. "I don't want to be rude."
     I almost want to laugh. "To be quite honest, I don't have a clue what I'm carrying." Maybe I want to cry more than laugh...
     He squints his eyes at me. "Are you scared? What are you really doing in here? That reptilian is a little...yeah?"
     I slump against the cot and drop the bag I'd been filling with stolen forbidden supplies. I'm a little ashamed at being caught but defiant as well. "I'm terrified and I don't want this." I look at him with beseeching eyes. "I want to get rid of Yoongi and this monster inside me. I can't...I can't do this anymore. He's doing something to me. Messing with my head all the time. I want it to stop. I don't want to lose control of myself anymore."
     Understanding dawns on his face and he looks down at the bag. "What are you trying to do exactly?"
     Hesitating, I study him. "Are you going to help me?"
     "I will. Of course."
    Nodding, I open the bag and pull out the two syringes and several little bottles of medications and...and poisons.
     He studies the contents. "Are you sure he isn't going to be aware of this if he can get into your head? What if this backfires?"
     I chew on my lip, worried. "I'm blocking him as best I can until I can put my plans into motion. It's a chance I have to take."
    "Jungkook...are you going to inject yourself and miscarry?" He stares at me intently. "Is this really want you want? This could kill you, doctor or not."
     "I'm well aware of the risks, Tae, but I have to do this. The things he wants to do...to all of us. He's powerful and dangerous. We can't let this go on."
    "What if he find out and does something bad to you. He's weirdly obsessed with you, right? He won't let you get rid of his...Uh, spawn?" He coughs awkwardly. "I'm not sure what to call it..."
     I glare at him. "I'm going to take care of him first." I eye the vial of thick clear liquid. Toxic to a range of cold blooded species. "I don't know if this will kill him but it's the only thing we have and it might put him out for awhile so I can do what I need to do with this." I motion to my body. "Then I'll work on detoxing my body and mind of his influences and venom. It's the only way I can get free."
     "Uh, should we get Captain involved in this?"
     "No! He has enough issues and I want as little people as possible involved in this in case it goes bad."
    He nods slowly. "What do need me to do then? I'll help you anyway I can."
    Relief fills me. "Thanks, Tae." I nod down at the bag. "I need to either wait until Yoongi is asleep or, well, hibernating as it were, in order to inject this into his system." I hold up the vial.
     "What if he wakes up or doesn't sleep? What if he gets suspicious?" He worries.
     Determination fills me. "Then I need you to help attack and hold him down so I can do this."
     "Uh, that sounds really hard. He can get into our heads, remember?"
     "Yeah. Let's hope he goes to sleep soon and you can help me hide his body until I can take care of him."
     After a long conflicting moment, he sighs. "Alright. Where is he right now?"
    I smile tightly. "I'm not sure."
    Tsk. Tsk. What are you doing being so disobedient, my queen? Did you really think it'd be so easy getting rid of me? I've worked extremely hard to come this far. I'm always watching you.
    My eyes widen in horror.
    Taehyung immediately mimics my panic. "What's wrong? What is it?"
