A new brotherhood

Taehyung's POV. 

With the wind blowing in his ears, he almost flew through the trees, eyes scanning around everywhere to find the person that he was looking for. Not that he was exactly sure of where he was going since y/n never really specified that, but he knew this jungle better than anyone. How hard could it be? He could just feel the anger in him grow bigger as well as the worry for his people, if he didn't find Hoseok soon enough. No, he didn't even wanna think about it. 

Running for what felt like twenty minutes without any success, he paused for a moment to catch his breath. Leaning down with his hands on his thighs, his heart beating loudly in his chest, Taehyung suddenly heard something. A low cough, just cutting through the pretty quiet jungle. Like a dog that hears something, Taehyung froze as he tried locating the sound source. The cough was shortly followed by a raspy sigh, like the person had a hard time breathing. 

Silently he began walking towards the direction that it was coming from, listening carefully for every step he took. When he got closer, he noticed that it was coming from a bigger bush not too far away from him. 

Not waisting any time, he swung his arm to the side forcefully, creating a strong gust of wind. Strong enough to pull up the bush by it's roots, only to then harsly toss it to the side like it was nothing more than a paper bag.

"YOU-" 

Taehyung quickly cut himself off after witnessing the situation before him. There on the ground, in a pool of his own blood, was Hoseok. His face was pale as a ghost, with little cuts here and there, which most probably came from the bush that Taehyung had just torn up. His eyes trailed further down to the man's chest. The white buttoned down shirt that he was wearing, had blood stains all over it, especially around a certain spot on his side. It looked like a rather deep cut.

Staring back at Taehyung with half open eyes, a vague smile appeared on Hoseok's dried out lips. 

"Your majesty, what a coincidence to see you here." his voice was weak and raspy, like it really forced himself to speak. 

Taehyung eyed him with narrowed eyes. It had come as quite the shock to see the person that he had only for some mere seconds ago felt such rage for, being in this condition. The pieces of the story that y/n had told him didn't seem to fit. Hoseok was supposed to be the bad guy here, then why was he the one to laying here wounded? Hurt or not though however, his suspicions for the man still remained. 

"Whatever it is that you are doing, then please just stop. I don't want to start any feuds, just, please tell me where the stone is." Taehyung asked calmly, not returning the smile. 

Hoseok's smile vanished, as another strike of pain hit him, making him squeeze his eyes shut followed by a painful sigh. Pearls of sweat forming on his forehead. 

"Man...who knew that it would come to this." he mumbled more to himself than to Taehyung, grinding his teeth in a attempt of trying to stand through the piercing pain in his side. "Look, kid. I won't say that I had nothing to do with this, cause then I would be straight up lying to your face. And trust me, I'm not doubting for a second that you hate my guts, but you gotta hear me out. You're all in grave danger if you don't do something, now."

He wasn't lying. He did hate his guts, but as the man that he had been so sure about to be the culprit, no longer seemed so likely.
