There Was Nothing You Could Do

-𝑇𝑎𝑒ℎ𝑦𝑢𝑛𝑔-

I open my eyes and I'm sitting in some kind of movie theatre. On the screen, a movie plays. It shows six of us running around on a beach. The camera turns around and I see Jin.

This must be his camera. He did always used to video everything we did so that one day we could watch the videos and remember what we once were.

Jin waves to the camera and smiles. He then turns the camera back around and I hear a voice, one I haven't heard in a long time.

"They're all having so much fun!" He laughs his high-pitched windshield wiper laugh as I trip over my feet and fall face-first into the sand.

I watch as the other boys laugh and then help me up.

I feel my eyes become wet with tears.

Where Jin is, I just hope he's alright.

I see Namjoon run toward the camera with something in his hands, and Jimin and I are chasing behind him.

I hear my own voice, "Hyung! Hyung let us see!" I begin laughing and I watch, Hoseok had walked up to me and begun to tickle me.

Namjoon approaches the camera and opens his hand. Inside it sits a small crab.

I laugh a little, Namjoon always did love crabs.

The edges of the screen suddenly begin burning. I turn around and see that the projector that was playing the video was now on fire. I jump out of my seat and I spot something standing behind the projector.

"Jin?" My heart begins to race. This is the first time in a long time that I've seen Jin in a dream of mine.

Instead of Jin a tall shadow stands, it's arms around Hoseok.

It lifts him by his neck, and his body is limp.

"Hoseok!" I jolt up in my bed.

"Taehyung?! What happened?" Jin's voice hits my ears.

"J-Jin?" I look up and my eyes meet the man standing in my room, "I-Is it really you?"

I can feel myself shaking from the dream.

Jin places his hand on my shoulder and smiles, "Yes."

I jump off the bed and throw myself against him, hugging him tightly, "I was so scared I'd never see you again. Wait? Why are you here?" I cock my head at him.

"I could ask you the same thing." He sits down on his own bed.

"I...I was tired of putting everyone else in danger just because I'm different. They shouldn't have to risk their lives just because I'm not like them. So I sent them letters and came here, but I ran into them on the way. I couldn't find you t your place, some woman lives there now." I stand in front of Jin.

"You gave yourself up!" He looks furious but sighs and tells his story, "Well, I'm here because they came to my place and took me away. Recently I've been seeing these weird shadow creatures. I guess they found out somehow, they do know just about everything about everyone."

"The shadow! I saw one in my dream! It..." I look to the floor, recalling the events of the dream.

"What? Tae you can tell me." Jin's voice is soft and filled with sympathy.

"It...it  had Hoseok-hyung."

"What do you mean...had him?"

  I sit next to Jin on his bed and explain the dream to him.

"When you last saw him did he seem okay?"

"He seemed alright, just annoyed that I was leaving. They all seemed worried."

I plop down onto my own bed.

"Well, don't ignore it. We both know what happened the first time you ignored a dream." He pats my shoulder, "You should try and rest some more. The longer you stay in this place, the more things that come after you. They have a room where they keep files on everyone here, I'll go see if I can find yours."

Jin turns the doorknob and opens the door.

"Hyung." He stops, halfway through the doorway, "Be careful."

"I will. Get some rest Tae." Jin closes the door behind him with a smile.

I sit on the bed and look out the window. The rain is still falling.

I can see the woods that surround the building, and from my window I have a view of the front entrance.

If they think it's a good idea to come after me they're wrong. After seeing the shadow in my dream, and Jin confirming its existence, this was a horrible choice. The only thing I can do is get Jin and I out of here before the rest of the boys come to find me.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope you stay and read until the end. Just so everyone is aware, I'm going to be trying to post every other day or every day so that way you don't have to wait a long time for the next chapter. Have a lovely day! <3
