To The Void [kth X reader]

"No good in hiding from me little lamb."

He cooed while looking for me around the mess. I stayed hidden behind a huge tree on the edge from where the forest started. I couldn't move, my body was aching too much from being hurled up in the air and then thrown on the ground. I had to keep my hands covered on my mouth and nose as the smoke was making my throat itch, and the need to cough was increasing.

His footsteps got nearer to the place I was hiding. "Sweet cheeks..." he said in a sing-song way. "Come out and show  your face." 

If I wanted to show my face I wouldn't be hiding, gorilla.

I felt him stop right behind the tree I was hiding and I knew I was busted. I positioned my hands to use my magic if  he came too near.

"I know where you are.....And I am very angry." his tone darkened.

My breath hitched in my throat as I waited for him to grab me. But instead, I heard a groan and a thump.

"Candy?"

Fuck the pain.

Like an automatic response to his voice, my body jolted upright and I came out of the shadows. He was panting while holding a gun in his hands, the body of the creep laid sprawled on the ground. Dead.

He slowly came towards me before tucking his gun back and pulling me in for a hug. I didn't hesitate to bury myself in his torso.

"I thought I lost you." he whispered, a sense of worry and relief in his voice. His hand caressed my hair as he kissed the crown of my head.

"I thought I lost you too." I said in his chest, my hands gripping the fabric of his t-shirt tightly. 

Looking up from the embrace I asked. "Where are the others? Are they fine? Did they get hurt?"

He pursed his lips before looking away. His grip on me tightened but his demeanor and expressions weakened and I started assuming the worst. My heart beat increased as I waited for him to say something.

"They are fine." he simply said, but something was bothering him and that reflected in his tone.

"But....?"

"But we lost them......all of us got separated when we stopped our bikes to find you. Some of us fought those bikers and rest looked for you, but we had to make a run when they started increasing in number." he sighed.

"Does the map work?" I ask hopefully.

"It works, yeah, but I guess they are too far away for the signal to catch."

"Shit." I murmured, frustrated how things have gotten totally out of control. "Now what?"

He looked around, still holding my waist until his eyes caught something at a distance. "Let's avoid teleporting as much as we can. That bike can be used." he pointed towards a bike laying on the road, which I assumed to be  of one of the bikers'.

We jogged towards it, steering clear of the fire that blazed around us. Getting on the bike, I winced while putting my leg over the seat. I don't know how much injuries I have on my body because of this complicated suit. Once we take a stop, checking myself up will be the first thing to do.

"You comfy?" he asked, looking over his shoulder.

"I'll manage, let's go." I give him a tight lipped smile and he started towards the path.

I held him by his waist, my mind wandering to how would the rest be. They don't know about us, if we are alive or not, where we are heading. We don't know where they are headed or anything right now. This moment, right here, is where I have no idea as to what we would be doing next.

We kept moving towards the hills, as earlier planned. Looking back, the whole area infront of the forest seemed to be destroyed. Dead bodies lay scattered all over the stretch of the road, smoke from bikes and other vehicles hung over it like a cloud of despair and the fire cackled, burning everything coming in it's contact. It was a sight that I don't want to remember.
The air started getting cleaner as we neared the hilly terrain and the altitude increased. I let my head fall back, enjoying the fresh air and the warmth of the sun.

Third Person's POV

A smile graced his features when he saw Y/n close her eyes and relax under the bright atmosphere. His worries about his brothers subsided when he found her behind the tree. He knew that the guys are together and would be fine. It was her that he was scared about. The moment he shot that guy, his thoughts took him to scenarios that would have happened if he didn't find him lurking. What would have happened to Y/n if he didn't reach in time?

He looked back at her again from the mirror, taking all of her in. Her innocence reminded him of his own self when he debuted. At that time, it was like being thrown into an unknown world, just like what happened with Y/n. But of course, her condition was so much worse than his. He wanted to protect her, she doesn't deserve all this, neither do anyone of them. But he knew the guys would fend off for themselves, they have been trained. 

"Where are we going V?" she asked, leaning forward so her face came beside his.

"I don't know, but I think hills would provide cover from the lower land."

"So, umm....can I sleep on....your back?" she asked, hiding behind his shoulder.

He gave a deep chuckle before replying. "You love to make me your bed, don't you?"

She suppressed a laugh, giving a breathy smile instead but Taehyung could see her blushing.

"Rest, I'll wake you when we reach." he said softly,

She clung on to his waist and leaned on his hard back, letting the events of earlier occupy her mind and pulling her in a sleep.
