Taehyung's POV

"Fuck! What am I supposed to do now." I grumbled under my breath as I just looked at my lover who lay dead in front of me.

"What do you mean? And should you be swearing, there are journalists watching." Yoongi snapped back at me through gritted teeth.

"Yoong's, I just said I love you to a dying man and kissed his forehead, I don't think it matters if I swear because I have already done enough for them to likely write a story about me," I began.

"And secondly, I was gonna run away." I whined while pouting.

"Are you not going to now?" Yoongi asked while wiping some of Jungkook's blood off his hands with his handkerchief.

"I- I don't know. I mostly wanted to run away so I could be with Jungkook, I wanted to experience love for once but that's just been taken away from me." I huffed, tears still slipping down my cheeks.

"What about Jungkook's crew?" Yoongi questioned.

"I mean they are lovely but I never got to know them." I replied.

"No, what are you going to do about Jungkook's crew? If you're deciding to stay, you obviously are going to crush their dreams of freedom." Yoongi replied.

"I mean I could free them and not go." I explained.

"Well go do it then." Yoongi snapped, confused while I stayed still and wasn't moving.

I just wanted to be here with Jungkook, not that he'd be waking anytime soon.

Yet I just hoped this was a nightmare that I could wake up from.

My body felt like a ton of bricks as I got up.

I'd rather that I was shot than have to live in a world without Jungkook, the sexiest pirate who's now just alive in my imagination.

But could Jungkook just have been an illusion of freedom?

I ran down the stairs, rummaging through the journalists who stood shocked by everything that happened in front of them today.

Then I flung open the doors.

I sighed seeing my golden carriage was gone as I could've used that for transportation to the castle.

Instead I merely had to run in heavy gold and silver clothing back to the palace.

I went inside the gates, everywhere seeming empty because they likely got called to kill Jungkook.

Only so many of them risked their lives to make sure one man, Jungkook, died.

My Jungkook.

My heart felt broken, it felt twisted, and it ached an unexplainable amount.

Could I actually stay here when I know what my family's wishes were for my lover?

I am not sure which would hurt more, being stuck around my family who are the reason Jungkook is dead, or being onboard Jungkook's ship, everything reminding me of him, only with his absence.

I ran up the castle steps, sneaking inside.

I could hear people speaking in the distance, yet they were talking about lamb so I was not about to run into guards.

I dashed up the stairs towards my bedroom so I could put on something lighter before helping the others escape.

Yet to my surprise an outfit was laid out ready for me on my bed.

I walked over to it slowly, some tanned light pants, and a white blouse, and a red and black lined jacket was in the centre of my bed.

However I gulped as my eyes cast beside the outfit.

Tears flowed again as I reached my left hand slowly forward to touch the leather of the pirate boots Jungkook gave me.

Next to it was the necklace he stole for me.

As well as what looked like a sword belt, a new looking sword inside of it.

This was Jimin's doing for sure, yet he wouldn't be aware of Jungkook's death.

I chucked on the pants, and blouse.

I then put on the belt and sword because I may need to use it if people get in my way while saving Jungkook's crew.

I then closed my eyes as I picked up the necklace.

I smiled while remembering the feeling of Jungkook's warm pinky finger running against the back of my neck when he put the necklace on me.

I opened my eyes once the necklace was done up.

I then gazed over at the boots.

I shook my head while walking away from the boots, yet I walked straight back over to them.

Do I become a pirate? Or do I just be King?

"It's my future, but what do I want?" I choked out.

I've never been able to think of my future and now I don't even know what choice I should make.

Maybe Jungkook was pressuring me into going with him, all because of him.

Maybe where I've grown up for all my life will be better for me.

I groaned as I grabbed a black bag, chucking the shoes and pirate looking jacket inside so I could decide at a later point whether to leave or stay.

I then stuck on some simple black shoes before heading to my bedroom doorway. 

My body sprinted down the hallway and prison stairs, only coming to a halt as I slowly entered the prison.

There wasn't a single guard inside as I walked towards the crew's cell.

Their eyes lit up as they saw me.

I unlocked their cell and they all happily filed out of the cell.

They all chanted to themselves dancing with happiness.

Yet the air grew stale as they all turned to me, noticing the absence of their captain.

"Ah, Taehyung... Where's Jungkook?" Dawon asked me after she looked around at everyone's faces one by one.

The rest of the crew now noticing as they also looked around the room for Jungkook.

I couldn't answer.

My throat just went dry.

His crew probably have known Jungkook for years now.

I am going to crush every single one of them.

It's only just dawned on me that they may see me now as a threat because they likely think it is my fault, that I couldn't save Jungkook on time.

Could his crew hurt me for accidentally putting Jungkook in the position where his life was taken?

I don't actually care if they do hurt me to be fair.

I'd be fine to die today, I'd be happy to be with Jungkook again.

"Taehyung?" Dawon questioned, snapping me out of my daydream as she walked over to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I couldn't hold in my tears any longer as I shook my head, tears rolling down my cheeks as I sniffled.

"He's-" I stuttered.

"He's gone"

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? Do yal think Taehyung is going to stay behind or go with Jungkook's crew???
