Twenty-Three
*Namjoon POV*
“Jin...what the hell just happened in there?” I walked into our headquarters, running my hands through my hair in frustration.
I looked at Jin as he also walked into the room, his face heavy with grief and fear.
It was just me and him at the moment, Hoseok stayed with Jungkook at the hospital and would call us if he got any updates.
“Jin...where did we go wrong….where did I go wrong..” I sat down on a chair and covered my face with my hands as I took a deep breath in.
Jin walked next to me and sat down heavily, this must be hard for him too.
Everything had gone terribly wrong.
“It's not your fault Namjoon...everyone made some mistakes. Yoongi killed a man when he shouldn't have, Jungkook hurt Rose...judged her wrongly, and Taehyung didn't even try to get Yoonjeo's body so we weren't sure if she was really dead or alive all this time.” He shook his head and I saw the tears glistening at the corners of his eyes.
“How...how is she even alive? She was shot directly in front of Taehyung, he...he saw the bullet go through her head.” I furrowed my eyebrows as I remembered her today.
She was definitely alive and could still do everything anyone else could. Except she couldn't see anymore.
“I don't know Namjoon, like So Hye said, it was a one in a billion chance. I've heard stories about people surviving gunshot wounds to the head so it is definitely possible. It doesn’t even matter, Taehyung was under So Hye's control as soon as she revealed Yoonjeo... he'll do anything for her.” We sat there quietly, losing ourselves in our thoughts...our regrets.
“Don't forget...Rebel betrayed us.” Jin's voice sounded so broken and hurt. The truth of the matter was that we were both broken.
“I really thought she was on our side for a second...that she would choose us over So Hye.” I clenched my teeth and looked away.
It became silent again, sometimes you just mess up so bad that there is no form of comfort for it. We had been hurt so much, our group wasn't even a group anymore.
“Well this is depressing.”
Me and Jin immediately stood up pulling out our guns to the voice.
“Taeil!? You're still here?” We both stared at the man who was handcuffed to the table.
We had completely forgotten about him.
“Yes I'm still here...where the fuck would I go? And Namjoon, you do realise this is all your fault right? You made some pretty shitty decisions and now everyone is paying for it.” Taeil raised his eyebrow and Jin scoffed in anger.
“Don't you dare do that again, you tried to destroy us once and it didn't work. So don't you even think to attack Namjoon or say he was a bad leader because in reality, he is the only reason we are still alive, and the only reason you're able to talk and breath right now!” Jin clenched his fists as he stared Taeil down with anger.
Jin, forget about him.” I moved closer and put my hand on his shoulder but he hit it off and gave me cross look.
“No, Namjoon!? I’m not going to ‘forget’ about him! Is that how we solve things around here? He works for So Hye, how do we know he hasn't been feeding them information about our plans secretly?” Jin walked up and slammed his hand on the table Taeil was bound to.
“Stop saying things that you clearly have no idea about Jin, I was chained up down here the whole time you were playing tag with So Hye, maybe you’re looking at the wrong person to release your anger to.” Taeil stared back with a taunting look and Jin’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Jin questioned quickly.
“Don’t you think it’s strange how Namjoon has never once called for backup?” He said with a blank voice and Jin looked at me with uncertainty.
I sat back down and massaged my forehead with my hand. I know what Taeil is getting at and it’s true.
“Namjoon purposely didn’t call for help Jin! He feels since he is the leader he should be able to protect his group without support from other people. He’s the reason you guys were beaten by So Hye.” Taeils words were strong and direct, I knew they were hurting Jin.
They were hurting me too...because they were…they were right.
“Namjoon...is that true?” JIn looked to me, his eyes filling with hurt.
“Yes, it is. I didn’t ask any other groups for support because I wanted to prove to you all that I could protect you.” I dropped my head in shame and heard Jin breath deeply.
“Jungkook was shot.” He said quietly, his voice cutting me like knife.
“Yoongi was taken.” I could hear the anger and rage in his voice.
“Jimin and Rose left and what did you do!? You tried to prove yourself?? So you risked all our lives for that!?” He rushed forward and grabbed my collar with both his hands, gripping the material tightly.
“Rose could have been hurt...she could’ve died you bastard!!” He pulled his hand back and I knew the punch was coming but I didn’t stop it, I deserved it.
His fist connected with my face and I took it willingly, the pain making me feel not like a complete screw up for a few seconds. I landed on the ground hard and sat there waiting for him to let his anger out.
“You...you’re disgusting. And you called us brothers? More like tools to make you feel better about yourself!!” He stared at me and shook his head disappointedly as he grabbed his jacket.
“I’m leaving...you can stay here by yourself, or with damn Taeil! Just know that everything that’s happened to us IS YOUR FUCKING FAULT!!” He gave us one last glare and walked out the room, leaving a painful gaping silence behind.
I sat on the ground, looking at the empty, cold headquarters, This place used to be filled with life, Rose and Jungkook were always fooling around, driving the other members crazy, Jimin and Hoseok were fine tuning their skills and Yoongi and taehyung...although we barely saw them, they were still safe..and they were with us.
But now they are all gone, some are hurt badly, others are in the hands of the enemy and the rest....they left me.
“I really fucked up didn’t I Taeil?” I turned to him and he nodded sympathetically.
“Yep. You fucked up big time.” I scoffed quietly and leant back into the wall.
My mind went back to a thought from m the events earlier in the day. Yoonjeo said something when they were being taken away.
“Rebel, Namjoon!! It's Rebel!!”
What about Rebel? Why would Yoonjeo say that?
“Taeil, tell me about Rebel.” I stood up and walked over to the table he was handcuffed to, taking a seat opposite him.
“Ah, Rebel...the curly blonde haired adventuress. You should have seen her when she first met So Hye, they nearly killed each other. So Hye just managed to talk her way out before Rebel ripped her head off.” Taeil laughed as he remembered it.
I stayed quiet letting him talk, I desperately need information right now.
“Rebel, is very closed off. She didn't talk to any of us at first and she certainly didn't let anyone know about her daughter. She agreed to work for So Hye for one reason. She wanted to hunt down and kill Seoul's Sinner.”
Those two words sent chills down my back, Seoul's Sinner, when he was still alive, he was the most feared man in Seoul. He made many families cry and even kill themself when he had his fun with them.
“Why was Rebel going after him?” I clasped my hands together and watched him as he explained.
“When she was ten years old, her parents were killed in front of her by his thugs and her brother disappeared, no one knows his whereabouts no matter how much she searches for him.” Taeil nodded with a concerned expression and my mind slowed down for a second as I analysed his words.
Wait a second, her family was murdered? And her brother went missing. If she was ten when it happened then that would put the incident at about fifteen years ago…
“Taeil, I need to find her. Right now.” I stood up and ran to a computer turning it on as fast as I could.
“I'll try my best but she likes to stay hidden. Why are you looking for her though?” He shot me a confused look and I ran up and un-handcuffed him.
“I think I know who her brother is.” We both rushed to the computer but he stopped and looked at me with wide eyes when he heard what I just said.
“What? Who!?” He asked rapidly grabbing my arm.
I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes.
“Kim Taehyung.”
