Yoongi's POV-

"He's going to be so mad at me." I say as I lean back on the couch with my hands covering my face.

"Maybe at first." Taehyung sighs as he sits down next to me. "But once his mother explains the seriousness of the situation, with not just Irene but the other people from her past, I'm sure he will understand that going with her is for the best."

It's just myself and Taehyung in the meeting room as we wait for Mrs Jeon and Kook to come back. The two have been talking for almost an hour now.

Before Taehyung left the room I asked him to ask Mrs Jeon if she could convince Kook to go with her.

He was surprised that I didn't fight more against the possibility of Kook leaving but once I seriously thought about everything Taehyung said, especially about those people killing his father, it put into perspective for me just how much danger they are in.

If those people had the ability to run his father off of the road and just shoot him with no hesitation or mercy they would do the same if they found Kook and his mother.

The safest place for him is to be with her when she goes to his Grandfather. I absolutely hate the thought of him leaving, it physically pains me to think of us being apart again, but it's for his safety and I would be selfish if I kept him here where he would be vulnerable.

Even now I'm searching for any sort of alternative but they would all be for my selfishness to keep him by my side. Any ideas I've had are based on emotion instead of logic and none of them would be as beneficial for him as leaving would be.

After what Taehyung said earlier about Mrs Jeon, Mrs Jeon and Kook being in witness protection and the very real possibility that Mrs Jeon and Kook might have to go through the same thing again, I knew he had to go.

If this situation continues to go the way it's going now that Irene has created a connection to Hyuk, Mrs Jeon and Kook it's much more possible that if someone starts looking at Taehee Jeon as she is now instead of the person that doesn't exist anymore, they could find her and if they did that would mean they'd find Kook too.

It is going to be difficult, but leaving is the best and safest option.

When I hear the door swing open aggressively, and the way the door hits the wall next to it with a loud thud I don't even need to look to know who it is or what they probably feel right now.

After a deep breath I gather what I think is enough emotional strength to look at Kook but the sight of him crushes any ounce of strength and attempt at keeping myself together to dust.

"Kook." I say as I look at him apologetically. "It's for the best."

"You mother fucker!" He exclaims before taking long strides to where I am sat on the couch until he is standing over me.

His eyes are red from crying but his cheeks are dried. There is no sadness in his eyes anymore. He has the same look he did when Taehyung had him pinned to the wall.

"You made me promise not to leave and now you want me gone? Are you kidding me?!" He growls. "Why are you doing this? Why are you sending me away?"

I look up at him and my bottom lip begins to tremble. I'm trying to find the words but I know as soon as I open my mouth nothing but sobs will escape me.

I turn to Taehyung who is still sat beside me, silently begging for him to voice out for me what I want to say. He meets eyes with me and nods shortly before he stands up and steps between Kook and I.

"Koo, he doesn't want you to leave. He would never allow that, ever, if he didn't believe that you would be safer somewhere else. You know that."

Taehyung's frame is blocking Kook from my view for the most part but I can see his hands are tightly fisted at his sides. His knuckles as white as paper and I swear I can see him shaking. He is furious and hurt.

"Get the fuck out of my way Tae. This is between me and Yoongi."

I see Taehyung take a unsteady step back so I assume Kook has pushed him or has a hand on his chest trying to move him.

When Taehyung doesn't move Kook speaks up again.

"Are you not the one that said that the two of us, meaning Yoongi and I, need to work through our shit together and leave you out of it? I'm granting your wish. Now stay the fuck out of it."

"Koo-"

Suddenly Kook pulls back his fist and uppercuts Taehyung in the stomach. When the hit lands the air is knocked out of Taehyung momentarily but he is rather quick with a few small gasps to stand up straight before he pushes Kook back.

"You aren't seeing all the angles Koo. Look at it from his perspective. He thought we were just worried about Irene. He didn't know about the terrorists after your mother. The one that murdered your father.

"We don't know if they know about you yet but with what Irene has found she has opened the door for those people to find you and your mother. You are not safe with Yoongi or anywhere but with your Grandfather until we know any and all the information available, and that can only come from your Grandfather. You will be protected there.

"Additionally, Yoongi is thinking about your safety and you aren't thinking about his at all. You staying here would put a target on his back. If they find out where you live they have no reason not to kill both of you. They are out for blood and revenge and I'm sure they will leave no witnesses or bystanders untouched in order to get it."

As they have been talking Taehyung has gradually walked Kook back into the wall by the door and now he is far enough away that I can see him better.

He still has no fresh tears but I can tell his eyes are still just as intense.

He must have felt my eyes on him because he moves his to me and they have a coldness in them I've never seen before. What he says next breaks me and I completely lose my composure.

"You're sending me away to keep yourself safe."

He grits his teeth tightly and I swear I see his eyes get even darker as he continues.

"I'll leave, but you're never going to see me again."

A sob breaks from me finally and I throw myself up off the couch and rush to he and Taehyung.

"Kook please, it's not like that. I love you and I don't want you to leave, but you aren't safe here. Please try to understand. I love you. I love you with every piece of myself and I don't want this but it's the only way," I sob. "I can't protect you like you need to be protected."

He continues to look at me with no emotion.
He moves his eyes to Tae and then back to me.

"I don't ever want to see you again."

And with that he turns to the door and rushes out, slamming it behind him.

I fall to my knees as I just stare at the closed door. Taehyung kneels down beside me and brings his arm around my shoulder. I lean into him as tears continue to stream down my cheeks but I don't make a sound.

"It's going to be okay Yoongi. He gets like this sometimes. He lets his anger get the best of him and it clouds his thoughts. He doesn't mean what he's said... he doesn't mean it."
