JIMIN POV:

I stretch out for where I'm lying next to (Y/N), loosely spooning her from behind whilst Kookie was sleeping facing her on the other end, her head tucked under his and nestled close to his neck.

My mind was buzzing, it had been so hard to drop off to sleep last night, yesterday had been one of the most challenging and difficult days of my life. To see and feel two of my soulmates hurting, to know that Yuna had a hand in it, it made my blood boil, it made me want to storm out of the house right then and confront the two but seeing the distraught expressions on (Y/N) and Kookie's faces had halted my feet before I could even consider moving them.

But right now. When they were peacefully asleep, and I was awake- I couldn't stop the anger that begin to rise to the surface again. I didn't even want to think what would've happened if Yoongi hyung and Hobi hyung hadn't made it on time. Even though they'd arrived in time, (Y/N) and Kookie had still been hurt, traumatised. And it was all down to Yuna. AGAIN.

I huffed, twisting slightly to lie on my back, glaring up at the ceiling. I couldn't sit around doing nothing. There was someone out there who hurt my soulmates, I wasn't going to lie about.

An arm came to drape across my stomach, I turned to see Jin hyung looking at me with eyes that were both fond and understanding.

"Baby you're emoting feelings of murder." He whispered, careful not to wake anyone.

And then Hobi hyung's head pops up into the crook of hyung's neck.

"And you're all agitated. Don't worry, there is no way we're letting them walk away from this. I told the officer that some of us would be paying a visit today." He adds, low morning voice doing wonders to settle my nerves, soothe the fury slightly and make me melt, all simultaneously.

But the dark promise that rolls of his tongue makes me shiver in anticipation. Hobi hyung when he's made is something no can ever remain unaffected or whole from. It's very rare when he gets angry to the extent, his energy rolls off in crackling sparks, the way his usually sunshine countenance is wiped away and a thunderous expression takes over.

I know he'll make them pay. And I want to be there when he does.

"I want to see the face of the bastard who thought he could go about making claims about (Y/N) like she's a possession." Jin hyung says lightly but his eyes are sparking with rage.

"A doll he said he wanted to make her. An obedient little doll." Hobi hyung hisses out and I recoil from the words, feeling the sting and possession in them. He said that? He dared?

It's enough to make me push the blankets off, sit up with anger radiating off me.

Jin hyung's hand comes to touch my leg.

"Calm down baby, I don't want the others to wake up. Let's go downstairs, yeah?" he soothes, touch abating the murderous intent that rises in me.

I take a quick glance to the side, feel my eyes soften as I look at how the others are cradling each other close in their sleep, bodies touching even if it's in the slightest.

Hyung's right. They could do with the rest, I know (Y/N) and Kookie especially could. Sleeping will allow (Y/N) to replenish her lost energy and I don't want either of them agitated.

I allow Hobi hyung and Jin hyung guide me out of the room, allow the warm cascade of the shower spray wash away any dregs of sleep, and slip into the clothes they've already laid out for me.

I walk down the stairs, quickly glance at the clock as I meet them at the door and allow the door to click quietly behind us when we step out into the early morning air and drive to the station.

JIN POV:

The drive to the station is silent but Jiminie's and Hobi's emotions pour out of them, broadcasted at such high levels as they mingle with my own until the only thing filling the air is our hurting and angry feelings.

It makes me tighten my grip on the steering wheel. A part of me wants to make the ones who hurt my soulmates suffer, to draw out the pain and suffering until it's all they feel. But a part of me is recoiling at what I'll see, if I'll heave when I see the monster who assaulted our soulmate.

I want to break down and cry for what they've gone through but more than that, stronger than that is my need to protect them, to shield them.

The second I finish parking, the doors are opening, all of us sliding out with haste and it's with each cell radiating with barely restrained anger that I enter the police station, the three of us in sync as we reach the desk.

"I informed you yesterday that I would be visiting today, to see the ones you arrested for harming two of my soulmates." Hobi speaks, each word stiff and to the point, tone full of authority.

The police officer gives the three of us an appraising look, eyebrows raised slightly before he quickly makes work of opening up their case file.

"Choi Dongsoo and Choi Yuna." He states. For a minute I feel the ground beneath my feet sway. Choi Dongsoo? Is he related to Yuna? How? What has he got to do with (Y/N)?

Hobi gives a stiff nod even though I felt the jolt of surprise from both him and Jimin.

"Choi Dongsoo has several charges pressed on him for violations and breaches of his contract with (L/N) (Y/N)'s company. And to add assault and violation of the Soulmates Protection Act, I don't see him getting away." The officer continues, unaware that each word is battering me.

Company? Previous violations? It makes my head spin with questions, but now is not the time to get side-tracked.

"Can you please show us the way to them?" Jimin bites out.

Under the same act, soulmates are entitled to act in defence and protect with full use of their abilities. And even if the law prevents me from fully lashing out, there are other ways to go about it.

We follow the officer down corridors and into a holding cell where the two have been placed- it's warded against misuse of abilities and all the officers working here are highly trained and have abilities that allow them to remain unaffected. At least we know they haven't escaped or gotten away by manipulating any officers.

When we enter, Jiminie and Hobi behind me, it takes all my willpower and then some to hold back the urge to pull the slimy looking shit out of the corner he's slumped in and pummel his body until he can't take anymore.

His eyes are narrow, thin slits from which dark eyes peek out, hair that is greasy and slicked back, he's broad and tall and from the moment we enter I detect malicious emotions from him. Next to him is Yuna scowling and looking displeased but when her face lands on us, she plants a wide smile on, getting to her feet to rush forward.

Seeing the excitement on her face is sickening. That despite everything she's done, she's still under the delusion that we're willingly here to see her.

"Oppas! I knew you'd see sense soon, you're here to take me, aren't you? Finally saw that (Y/N) isn't worth it." She says, looking for all the world unaffected that we're meeting in a holding cell.

"Not. Another. Word." I hiss, straightening up to my full height so I can look down on her.

I sneer at the cheeriness she's emitting, there's some sort of twisted pleasure she's getting from this. But I can still detect the bitterness, the vile core of her that repels me just like it did the first time we met.

"Enough is enough Yuna. No more games. No more dirty tricks. What you did yesterday was the last time you're going to get even a foot near my soulmates. You hurt two of ours and for that there is no forgiveness." Jimin speaks up, gone is the angel, there is nothing but harsh fury etched deep into his features. Hate rolling off each word.

In this moment, Jimin is unforgiving and unrelenting. He's like the ocean in the midst of a storm, a force to reckon with. Dangerous and unpredictable, his anger crashing around the room, filling every crevice with waves of his fury.

"Whilst I want nothing more to tear you apart limb from limb, to slowly make you feel pain and to relish in it, I don't want to sully my hands with the likes of filth like you." Hobi spits as he steps forward to stand in front of Choi, his height is about the same but Hobi's muscles are coiled and ready to spring, much like a sleek wild cat tearing into his prey. But right now, he's toying with it.

The door is shut behind us. The officer waiting outside. There is no escape. There is no mercy.

I want them to feel the torment they put Kookie and (Y/N) through, feel it until it shatters them apart. I recall the horror, the panic, the nausea, the rage, and the grief. Remember how it threatened to swamp me and I gingerly place a finger on Yuna's forehead, repulsed at having to touch her, but let those emotions flow out. In its exact quantity. And watch as her face drops, the smile fades and she experiences what she put them through.

When her eyes fill with tears, roll over and fall, I feel a grim satisfaction. Remove the finger and let those emotions flood her and overwhelm her, I know Hobi is pushing out energy towards me, making the tidal wave I have just sent through even more powerful. I stalk over to Choi, leaving Jimin to stand over Yuna with a hardened expression.

I do the same with Choi, but add in the revulsion, the disgust and above all, the searing agony (Y/N) had felt when her mark had screamed and fought against the touch. He made her feel like this. Now he should get a taste of it too.

I remember my own mark searing with an echo of her pain, the way the bond was shuddering and heaving from the sickening touch. Emote that into him, allow him to feel it too. I watch when he comes crashing down to his knees, the way he screams- pained and loud. His hands claw at his clothes, for a second, I wonder if I've somehow magnified it. But no. This was what (Y/N) felt. This is what he made her feel.

Hobi and Jimin's faces are grim but I can still sense their own grief under it all, that even though all we've done is make them feel what they put our two through, the disgust in being near them. And under it all, an inkling of fear.

I don't waste time to gather them close and usher them out of the room, pushing out calming and soothing emotions, Hobi's energy intertwining with it and brushing over the three of us as a whispered caress.

"I don't want to be near them. Until the last second, they didn't care. Weren't bothered. Didn't regret. It makes my skin crawl hyungs." Jimin whispered, but it echoed through the silence.

I pressed a kiss to his forehead, smiling sadly against his skin.

"Sometimes monsters hide in humans' skin my love." I whisper.

Hobi comes to touch Jimin's neck, pushing out a rush of positive energy.

"Chin up chickie. They'll pay for what they've done." Hobi adds.

They will. Because for them. Their cursed fate is beginning.

And their involvement in (Y/N)'s life has come to an end.

(A BIT SHORTER THAN THE LAST CHAPTER BUT THIS WAS SOLELY PROTECTIVE AND HURT SOULMATES, 3J ARE THERE TO GIVE CHOI AND YUNA HELL...OR A TASTE OF WHAT IT'LL FEEL LIKE! I'M SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! I HAD SOME ERRANDS TO RUN AND THEN I WENT ON A WALK! HOW'S YOUR DAY BEEN LOVELIES? HOW WAS IT? I DIDN'T WANT TO STRAY AND MAKE THEM SUDDENLY MURDEROUS, REVENGING PEOPLE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT A STARK SHIFT IN PERSONALITY. THEY FELT PAIN AND THE REASON THEY FELT FEAR WAS UNDER IT ALL...THEY DIDN'T EVER WANT TO COME CLOSE IN THE SLIGHTEST TO THOSE TWO. SO IT WAS FEAR FOR HOW HUMANS TURN OUT. LET ME KNOW AS USUAL! CAN'T WAIT TO READ YOUR COMMENTS! AND BTS DID SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE AND VIDEO MESSAGE FOR CLASS OF 2020! THEY MADE THE ENTIRE OF MY LOCKDOWN WORTHWHILE!)

Life is short, don't let it pass you by, don't live having regrets. Go and seize it!

Borahae! 💜💜💜
