chapter 40

"I get it, it's your choice," Hoseok said as he continued to pack his bag. Jungkook's bag sat on the floor. Yoongi and Jungkook walked into the kitchen as Jin and Hoseok were speaking. "So, I transferred the intel to Namjoon's computer. I need two at least, for Jungkook"

"Just let me grab them," Jin mumbled, looking lost in thought.

"I don't want to leave, Hoseok" Jungkook protested as he and Yoongi walked back into the kitchen. "I like it here"

"It's not safe for you," Hoseok snapped. The other three stood in shock at his reaction. "I'm doing my best kid; it's been three days and every hour puts you at risk"

"Taehyung should've have walked through the door by now within the first hour," Jin added, looking at all of them. "They should have been notified the minute you walked in, it's not a secret that we're already closely monitored. Felix must already know that you're here."

Namjoon's plan. He wanted all of them to leave. To escape. Instead, Jin refused when Hoseok explained what Namjoon had done. Felix would never let Jimin walk out of the facility, Jin knew that.

"What are you waiting around for?" Yoongi asked, understanding the look his friend gave him. The younger boy beside him turned his head abruptly, so quick he would've injured his neck. The look in the boy's eyes was of pure betrayal. Yoongi looked away from Jungkook, trying to smother the guilt in the pit of his stomach.

"Hoseok's right," Jin said, looking at Jungkook. "You're not safe here,"

"We have to leave," Hoseok whispered. "I can't lose you, Jungkook"

"But you don't care about me!" Jungkook shouted. The three other boys stood in silence. "You leave me behind, I don't even know what you do when you leave. I'm alone - every day. I finally have friends who talk to me like I'm not invisible."

"Jung--" Hoseok was quickly interrupted.

"Hoseok, I don't want to leave. Please let me stay," Jungkook's hair was bright purple and his eyes had turned green. Hoseok watched him in silence.

"I meet with them, that's where I go," Hoseok explained, still looking at the younger boy. "They mostly live alone; they can't risk being in groups. I've met a few already. I think I've met maybe ten. And they remember their time at the facility. It's dark and cold."

Yoongi had dreams, just like Jimin had too. Jimin would scream awake in the middle of the night because of them. Yoongi couldn't piece together his nightmares. It was almost like they vanished when he would wake up, but the feeling would linger. The awful feeling of loneliness. He couldn't bring himself to want to remember it. His time at the facility after he woke was terrible as well. When he would think about his time there, he had a sickening feeling in his stomach. How they forced him to train. But if he attempted to remember his dreams, it terrified him. He would feel cold and empty. He didn't want to feel empty.

"I'm sorry that I can't give you a normal life, Jungkook," Hoseok continued. "But I can do anything in my power to keep you safe, you can hate me if you like but if I have to drag you out of this home I will"

Yoongi watched as Jin handed Hoseok something wrapped in a black cloth. Hoseok nodded and put whatever Jin had given him in his bag.

"Let me walk with you a few blocks," Yoongi said as he grabbed his jacket. Jin stood in the doorway of the kitchen, giving him a nod. Jungkook was pouting as he and Hoseok were about to leave. Their bags packed up. "I'll buy some snacks you can take with you,"
