Last Girl Alive | Bangtan

143: Bang Shi Hyuk

You don't know exactly how you imagined this moment. Meeting him, the creator of ARMY, of the planet and world you'd live in for the past two years and not only that, who created the eight of you as a team as well. In fact, you couldn't even imagine it because it felt like such a surreal thing, something that if it happened would never live up to any expectation.

However, as the eight of you stand there in front of his desk, looking at this wondrous, marvellous man seated behind his desk with a raised eyebrow and curious gaze all you could feel was awe, intimidation and the power seeping from him. Despite the ordinary setting, the ordinary room, the man in front of you felt extremely special. Sure he was extra, but still part of this world, extra+ordinary. 

The eight, now nine of you, in the room just stood there and took in each other. You watched him and he watched you and neither of you knew what to say, or in fact you didn't want to say anything. Meeting each other was enough and the silence said words you could never express yourself with. 

Bang Shi Hyuk, you hear in your head. This is Bang Shi Hyuk. 

Then, with a light smirk, he extends an arm to gesture to the seats in front of him.

"Take a seat," he says politely, gesturing to the eight seats placed neatly in front of his desk .

His voice seems to break his amazing aura and thus the spell cast over the room. He suddenly felt human and the reason you were here came all rushing back. He was no longer just a fantastic view he was more than that, he was your enemy right now. 

Namjoon scoffs bitterly at his words. A sort fury, disappointment and mingled remorse suddenly builds up in him as he the events of the past two years run through him. And falling onto this planet, you being kidnapped, everyone starving...his blood began to boil just thinking that this man was solely responsible for all of that. For your suffering, for the scar on Jungkook's cheek, for the meteorite nearly killing all of you, for the fear that haunted all of you, for Jimin's coughing, for Hoseok to die, for your powers. Bang Shi Hyuk made all of that happen and here he was with the audacity to treat you like guests? Take a seat? It was ridiculous. 

Before anyone could move forward and vacate a seat he steps in front, gripping the nearest one by wrapping his fingers around it. It cracks with his anger as he picks it up effortlessly throwing it lightly across the room so that it crashes into the wall on the far right.

Bang Shi Hyuk does not flinch. He follows the chair, watches it break into pieces at the wall and turns back to Namjoon, expressionless. Meanwhile Namjoon has inched forward, gritting his teeth as he towers over the man across the desk. Slamming his hands on the wooden table he leans over it looking right into the man's eyes.

"B.I.G.H.I.T," he says slowly, enunciating each syllable. "You're the creator, aren't you?"

"Let me introduce myself," Bang Shi Hyuk suggests, standing up himself. He didn't seem to realise that all of you knew who he was already as he had been living in your thoughts ever since that photo.  As he stands up, you realise that he wasn't taller than Namjoon - you were beginning to wonder if anyone was - but the aura that emanated from him, the energy of power and money and intelligence was felt among all of you. Even if you were perhaps stronger than him now it was all because of him. Whoever you were now, the people that stood before him, they were his making. In the end he was the puppeteer.

"Or rather..." he challenges Namjoon, with an odd smile. "Let me introduce...yourselves."

Namjoon moves away a little, almost as a defence. The physical power was nothing to him when the competition was for knowledge. This man had all the answers and to get them out of him, he realised, he had to conform.
