Promise ✔️

Chapter Eighteen

We were home in under an hour. Jimin took my upstairs while everyone stayed in the living room. I still had the dagger in my leg. I didn't want to take it out. The slightest movement shot pain through my whole body. He laid me on the bed and went to get towels and a first aid kit. When he came back, he looked at the wound.

"N-now this will hurt. But if you want me to stop, just tell me. I will stop pulling the moment you say stop. Ok?" I nodded, whimpering as he grasped the handle. I stopped him.

"N-not yet. I don't want it out. It hurts too much." I could tell he broke a little inside. I know he would never hurt me on purpose, and him knowing he did this is probably killing him.

"I know baby. But we need to take it out. Just sit back and try to relax. I'll go slow." I did as he told and braced myself. He slowly started to pull it out. I clenched my teeth.

"I know baby. I'm right here." I grabbed his free hand and squeezed. I started to cry again.
"I know. I'm so sorry. Do you want me to stop?" I shook my head.

"K-keep going. Just g-get it ov-over with." He hesitated then started again. I dug my nails Into his wrist. He kept on saying "it's almost out. It's almost over. I'm right here with you baby." At one point I think I passed out by how badly the pain was. Which made him start to say "stay with me baby. I'm right here. Keep your eyes open for me." I felt the blade get smaller in my leg and when I knew it was finally out is when Jimin threw it on the floor and hugged me.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He wrapped his arms around me. I could feel him shaking. He let go of me and went back to my leg. He placed his hands on the wound and took control over his breathing. Some of the pain went away, making it easier to move around.

"There. I was able to heal it a little. Are you ok?" I sat up in bed and nodded my head. He put a brace on my ankle and wrapped up my leg, then sat next to me wiping the tears away.

"How are you feeling? Are you doing ok?" I said quietly, taking his hand in mine.
"Don't worry about me. I'm doing just fine. Do you want to go sit downstairs with everyone?" I nodded and he helped me up.

"Can you walk?"
"Yes. Just, stay here though." He wrapped his arm around my waist, holding me up for support. We took it slow on the stairs and when we got to the living room, everyone turned to look at me. I have a weak smile and took a seat next to Lisa.

"Oh my god! You're okay!" She said giving me a hug.
"I'm ok. Don't worry." She let go and turned to Namjoon.
"Good to see you Y/n." He nodded, smiling.
"Did you see that! She has wings! Oh wow! They were so beautiful!" Hoseok and Jungkook said, sounding surprised.

"Congratulations Y/n. That was the final step for you, wasn't it?" I nodded at Yoongi, giving a small smile. I was about to turn back to Jimin when I noticed the book he had in his hand.

"What's that?" The whole room turned quiet, not wanting to think about the book honestly.
"It's the book of all the past leaders. Since Jimin was able to be saved, the name changed. We haven't opened it yet though." He fidgeted with the cover of the book. Yoongi already knew, so did Jungkook, but I could see why they kept their mouth shut. I knew as well who's name was on that page. I looked at everyone and noticed that Taehyung was there.
"Taehyung, where were you when we were all locked up? I didn't see you." He looked kind of surprised that I talked to him. But sat up and answered.

"After the party ended, and you and Jimin left, a bunch of guards came to get us. Namjoon and the rest tried fighting them off, but nothing helped. So I knew someone had to stay back to help them escape later, so I hid in a secret passageway while everyone else got captured. Then I waited until the morning to return home. That's how everyone got out." I honestly misjudged him. I thought he was the one that ratted us out, but I was wrong.

"Thank you Taehyung. I also owe you an apology. When I didn't see you in that cell with everyone else, I thought you ratted us out. I'm sorry." He nodded and sat back again, showing the slightest smile on his face.
"Well, I don't think we can stall anymore. We have to open the book." Yoongi handed Jin the book and he opened it. I didn't want to look.

"J-Jungkook." Jungkook hung his head. He knew this would happen. Everyone looked over at the youngest. I couldn't tell if he was happy about this.
"Wait, hold on. Another name is showing up."
"What?" I looked up confused. We all huddled around the book to see five more names pop up.

"How is this possible? I've never heard of anything like this." Namjoon said, looking at his brother's names. In Front of each brother, a crown popped up. I watched as they hesitantly took them and stood up.
"I think it's time we leave you." Namjoon said after a long silence.

"I guess so. I really enjoyed getting to know you Y/n. I feel like we've become good friends. And Jimin, I think we owe you an apology. I wish we bonded better when we were younger." Jin said. Each brother said their goodbyes. Yoongi stopped in front of me.

"If I don't turn into a heartless, soulless leader, I would like to be friends. If that's ok with you." I smiled.
"Sure. I'd like that."
"Me too me too! I want to be friends!" Jungkook said, giving me a hug. Followed by Hoseok. Everyone went outside to say goodbye but Taehyung stayed back.

"Y/n? I- I wanted to apologize again. I feel guilty." I smiled giving him a hug.
"Apology accepted. Thank you. I hope we can get to know each other more." This is the first time I've seen him smile, and I wasn't disappointed. His smile was contagious.

"I'd like that." He said. He nodded, confirming our agreement, and joined his brothers. I went to go sit on the couch when standing started to hurt. Jimin joined me moments later resting his head on my shoulder. Finally, we can relax. Jimin sighed as he played with the rings on my finger.

"We can relax. After two months. We can relax." I chuckled lightly. He moved down and laid across my lap, being careful with my wound.
"Wanna watch a movie?" I shook my head. All I wanted to do was sit and do nothing for a while. I ran my fingers through his now black hair. He let out a soft moan at my touch.

"How does your leg feel?" He says in a raspy voice, probably asking if I was down for anything.
"Hurts like a bitch." He turned on his side, his face in my stomach leaving gentle kisses.
"I'm sorry baby. I really tried my best to take control over him. But he was too strong."
"I know it wasn't you. Let's just leave that behind now. It's done and over with. Ok?" I shifted a little, realizing my leg doesn't hurt as much anymore. I guess the painkillers kicked in.

"I love you Y/n. Thank you for keeping your promise." He said half asleep. I smiled remembering that one day where I learned everything. When all of this started. The day I promised to protect him. And I did. I let my eyes close as I rubbed circles on his arm not realizing both of us fell into a deep sleep for the first time in a long time. The first time where we both didn't have to worry about bad things happening to our friends and family. The first time we were stress free. I was genuinely happy that I kept my promise.
