Chapter 13: Run

Jungkook then suddenly appears in the hotel room, and you panic since Taehyung has tried to inform the police force. Jungkook then looks at you and smiles. He had told you that you were somehow the light to his darkness. In his moments of life, you were his everything, so he confronted you on why you had run away. But of course, you don't remember.

Jungkook didn't have to tell you twice to run away. What was he thinking? When was he going to bomb the whole place? How could he do it so fast, and how did he know you would be there?

No, you've got no time to think about that. You need to get out of the place and find Taehyung. After stumbling upon everyone and asking around, you finally found the room.

Opening the door franticly, you were greeted with a distressed Taehyung. Taehyung, who was equally stressed, when he found you missing and nowhere to be seen, he stopped everything. His blood ran cold when he knew you could be in grave danger. He had been planning to bring you here since the day he was 'dead'.

With the help of someone, he had to bring Jungkook down because he knew as long as that man was running and breathing, then no weapon, no men could harm him. Something Taehyung had picked up from years of learning was no place was better to hide from a killer than his place.

So, Taehyung had thought it was undeniably the right thing to do, to book a hotel discreet from everything in Jungkook's empire. More than what Taehyung had calculated, the kid was loaded, having most of the hotel's branches in Asia and having his multiple casinos in Las Vegas. It started to worry Taehyung that Jungkook was more than what He had told Taehyung.

Jungkook was secretly building an empire. Not even they knew about it. He was more powerful than just a mere psycho killer you find in the dark corners of the city.

Who is precisely Jeon Jungkook? What happened to him, and what does he have to do with you?

How was he connected with everything, and what was happening between them?

Taehyung was a step closer to the truth, but Jungkook was always two steps ahead of him. Now, he was on a call with him. He couldn't help to hide the little information on who was helping because Taehyung didn't want you panicking over something so insignificant. He wants you to be free right now, knowing you were not or maybe never in the right mind. He was not about to burden you with the slight information.

He could only pray that one day if he finally gets a chance to tell you who He was, you would be forgiving and might spare him from getting knocked out.

But, of course, you were always the curious type. The moment you stepped into the house, you were always the inquisitive little cat. Sneaking away from hall to halls trying to find anything that could satisfy your curious mind. Of course, it had caused quite a ruckus before, but he had gotten used to your little antics.

Because how couldn't you be so curious? You were being sucked into their world. The moment He saw you. You were never going to be safe. Either you comply and surrender, or you fight, and death is the only thing that could separate you and your misfortune.

When he realised you were gone, all of the resources he had were now focused on a single target, and that was to find you. He was ready to call in everyone to search for you.

But thank heavens. Somehow you had burst into the room the moment he was going to call.

Taehyung was ready to give you an earful before seeing how white you had become and instantly wrapped his arms around you, feeling relieved you were alright but also concerned.

A sickening gut feeling told him something he didn't want to hear.

"Taehyung, Jungkook found us. He – he is going to – oh my god. What are we doing here? We must warn the people, Now Taehyung –"You were trying to drag him. Taehyung, who was confused, was pushed outside; he held your hand before pulling you to look into his eyes.

Somehow over the last time, he had been spending time with you. You were unique; Taehyung didn't understand how you ended up entangled with them. Because outside, there was nothing special about you to make all of them agitated. When you had come in, Taehyung had despised you to the core. He didn't bother to acknowledge you at all.

But you had managed to intrigue all of them, including himself. He guesses that even you being so mundane could be why it made everyone intrigued with you. You were an easy book to read but hard to close the story.

That's why when he saw your eyes, you didn't need to tell him what had happened. He knew.

"He's in here, isn't he?" Taehyung asked, and you didn't say anything. Thoughts were running wild on the possible outcome of what would happen.

Taehyung doesn't need more answers as he pulls you to the nearest fire detector. He begins searching in his pants for something before pulling out a lighter.

"Seriously, are you smoking right now?" You were surprised by Taehyung's sudden action, but Taehyung stayed quiet as he took a bunch of cash in his hands before lighting it on fire.

"TAEHYUNG! WHAT ARE YOU –"

The fire started to burn the money into a pile of ashes, creating smoke. It had notified the fire alarm making the whole place ring, and doors began to open. Taehyung then dashed.

"I don't smoke, well, not now. But I know you wanted to warn those people, and of course, banging on their respective doors is not a choice to be made."

"I wasn't –"

"Don't argue with me, Anne. Now get your ass running."

As Taehyung had grabbed you, to dashed away as everyone was still processing what happened. Both of you had come in very silent halls. There was a back door Taehyung had searched when he had surveyed the place beforehand.

"Come on," Taehyung had dragged you to the emergency stairs, but of course, somehow, trouble will find its way.

"Now – now... Are we going to miss the most exciting part of the story?" That voice. You both look up to see Jungkook dangling from a flight of stairs above you.

"It's the part where the prince saves his princess from the big bad wolf."

"Jungkook..." Taehyung growls in annoyance.

"Taehyung! So glad you be one of the witnesses in this perfect story! You are perfect for the role, I mean since you already have the experience being one!"

Taehyung, who growls in annoyance, drags you through the stairs. With a gun in his other hand. Shooting them to Jungkook, who laughed.

"God, it was a sight. Seeing you so agitated! You should have seen your face! Wouldn't you be surprised when I know that silly information!"

"I don't fucking care, Jungkook." Taehyung screams at the top of his lungs, "Anne, go down now and don't listen to this fucker!"

"Oh, and why is that? You should! You should care!" Jungkook sudden tantrums surprise you even more, his voice echoing with words you don't understand.

"Anne, my love, you would care, would you? SAY YOU ARE. YOU DO CARE FOR ME AND MY STORIES, RIGHT?"

"SHUT UP!" Taehyung points his guns, shooting them at Jungkook.

"Oh... Taehyung, if only your grandfather saw you like this, he would be disappointed. Well, isn't he already?" Jungkook laughs, "Considering you had killed him."

"Jungkook, shut up!"

"See that, my love? How could you run away from me, someone you call the devil, when the devil himself is closer to you?"

You look into Taehyung's eyes. Searching for answers.

"Taehyung?"

"Keep running, Anne, don't listen and trust me." Taehyung was pleading with you, but the whole place was starting to shake before you could say anything.

Times are running out, but it seems like it just started its countdown.
