November 12, 20XX - Wednesday

I went in and out of sleep for the past couple of days.

I had a fever and I barely felt conscious at all.

I was ill, very ill.

The whole time, Taehyung never left my side.

"Let's take her to a hospital." the urgency in Taehyung's voice told me that his patience wore thin.

"We can't do that. She'll be taken into custody right away." Namjoon reminded him.

"The fever is going down." An unfamiliar voice sounded in the room. "She'll be fine."

I relaxed under the sudden cool touch.

Who was in the room with us?

Where were we?

Are we safe?

Something was thrown at the wall and the frustrated groan that followed told me that Taehyung had done it.

"Fuck!" He screamed.

There was a sudden increase in pace of the footsteps and extra scuffling.

"Woah!" Namjoon let out. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going to kill him!" Taehyung spit the words with venom.

Taehyung...

I wanted to let him know that I was okay, but I just couldn't find the energy.

"Hoseok." The unfamiliar voice next to me spoke letting me know that he had entered the room.

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WITH HER!" Taehyung screamed, in the midst of him running towards the door, his foot caught into the chair causing it to scrape against the floor.

Hoseok's back hit the wall in a loud thud as he let out a small groan. Taehyung's hands smacked against Hoseok's body, His hands smacking against the leather. 

The person beside me quickly left my side and went over to break up the fight.

"I know!" Hoseok shouted, sounding like he regretted it. "I know."

"WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT THEN?" Taehyung's voice sounded further apart from Hoseok's meaning Namjoon had pulled him to the other side of the room.

"I-" Hoseok couldn't answer it.

"I was sworn protection." Taehyung's voice cracked and his sob hiccuped as he barged out of the room, the door slamming against the door stop.

A bunch of sighs were released into the room.

"I didn't mean to leave her alone." Hoseok whispered. "The last thing I wanted was for her to get hurt. After what happened with Seungwan... I told myself I wouldn't allow another female to get hurt."

Silence.

I felt my eyebrows twitch as I was confused on who he was talking about.

Who's Seungwan?

Hoseok inhaled deeply before taking steps closer to me. "I hope Taehyung realizes now the consequences of bringing someone else into your own problem."

"Hoseok, shut your mouth." The unfamiliar voice warned.

"Yoongi...Don't you agree? Don't you think that she'll be better off if the cops get her? Take her back to safety?"

No!

You don't know where they would take me back to!

My heart started beating fast and it was getting harder to breathe.

"We all know that Taehyung's not going to make it out. So why are we pretending? Things have gotten out of our hands and we can't make miracles happen. There's no way that they can make it out of the airport."

Who was pretending the whole time?

"I think..." Namjoon started, "that it's none of your business. To you, it might seem like we're pretending. But I'm sure as hell not. You don't know what these two have gone through and I'll be damned if I see this crooked society takes in someone they left behind to mess him up further! Until my last breath, I will fight until Taehyung and Hari are free. I won't let myself die thinking that I could have tried harder."

Namjoon...

Hoseok stayed quiet for a bit before answering, "My bad. You're right, I guess. It's none of my business. I'll just stick to doing my job."

And he did.

Just not this Job.

His legal one.
