—————————————————————
It's the last shooting day for Run in this tour. You haven't been able to see Jungkook for a couple of days. Your heart was aching. You felt like you were trapped in a mouse maze and you've hit a dead end. Sejin hasn't been available, either. You've consumed yourself with work. Jungkook hasn't been in his room. Or at least that's what you think. He never answered your knocks or calls. Everyone has been so busy, as well. You had no chance to reason with him. Today, you're seeing him. You hated the idea of him avoiding you. You were in shambles.

He got into the room and saluted everyone formally, including you. He looked like he's been asleep for a while. His face was puffed up. He acted like you weren't in the room. You wished you weren't there. When he was getting his make up done he started laughing with the artist. You never took yourself as the jealous type. But seeing him laughing with another woman made your insides scream and shout. You had to stay calm. You had to curb yourself from pushing her away from him and tell her that he's yours. But, you weren't sure of that part either.

You did your job professionally because at the end of the day, you had to get your job done. Jungkook was carefree. It's like nothing's bothering him. Your body was burning one hour at a time. You wanted to go out and never come back. After the shoot was done, Jungkook left the room. You ran after him. You called him and he didn't look back. Yoongi was the one who lent you his attention. He broke away from the boys and came to you.

"Free for a drink?" He said sweetly.

"I guess." Your voice broke.

He walked silently next to you. You needed that silence. You and Yoongi might not be able to communicate much but there'll always be this silent pact between you both that you be there for each other. You got to the bar and ordered your drinks then he looked at you while he was puffing his cheeks. You smiled at him.

"How are you?" He asked.

"I'm torn." You stated as shortly as possible. He nodded and took a sip of his drink.

"This doesn't feel comfortable or logic." He stated as he played with his glass. Twirling it around and watching the waves that were made. He sighed and continued, "Sejin has been under the radar for a long while. He's been appearing here and there. He's been provoking Jungkook in a subliminal way." Every word meant that Yoongi was smelling something fishy about this situation. "He hasn't provided an explanation and Jungkook is making up all these scenarios." He sighed.

"I feel like I'm being emotionally blackmailed."

"How?" He frowned.

"Sejin has been playing this game where—

"Hey, there!" You heard that blunt voice and you knew who it belonged to. That thick skinned asshole was following you around.

"Can I have a moment with Kae for a while, Yoongi?" He said as he put his hand on your shoulder. He sounded too friendly. His voice implied sincerity but you knew there was venom under those fangs.

"Sure, sir." He said and looked at you with suspicion. Those suspicions weren't directed at you. You felt like you had a chance at getting the truth out there, somehow. Somehow.

"You're not going to do that, are you? You know that anything you'd say would be held against you? Doing this would be useless, honey." He patted you cheeks.

You flinched in profound disgust and held his hand away in dismay. You felt pictures being taken. You heard the shudders of the cameras and looked back. That man was determined to ruin everything.

"If I can't have you, now. I will have you later. If not, then, you're no one's." By the time he said that, you slapped him.

"Sejin, this is outright blackmailing! Are you aware of who you're talking to? Do you know who I fucking am to act the way you are? Who would want someone they don't know with such determination. Are you insane?" You hit your fist on the table and stood up.

"I've shot your last run episode. I'm going back home. Consider my job here done." You stood up and ran to your room.

This place was toxic and staying under his thumb is suffocating enough for you to be crushed like a grape. You felt like you were being held hostage and this is your only chance to run.

10 days left of the tour, anyways. You called Jungkook a multiple of times and he didn't answer. No one was available. They were too busy to look at their phones. Your chest was tightening and you felt nauseous. That's when you knew that you must leave and breathe a less toxic air.

It felt like you time-jumped and the moment you started feeling the surroundings was when you landed in London. Dissociation was one of the things your brain tends to resort to when you're under stress. You never thought that the day you'd run away from somewhere would be the day you run to London. All you were thinking of was your brother. All you wanted was him, now. That's your only refuge.
