Chapter 13- His Gaze

Getting into Some big oversized clothes made me feel even smaller. By wearing non-fitting clothes, I tried to cover my body parts.  I don't want them to think that I have weird hormones or something. After getting ready for the day I headed downstairs, where others were eating. Still, Yoongi's chair was empty. Where could he possibly be?

"Where's Yoongi?"

I asked while taking a seat as far as possible from Jimin who was giving me this "I'm watching you" eyes. My hand rubbing my nose tip nervously.

"Work" Namjoon simply answered me while scrolling his phone. He acted casually like it was nothing new. Work? I'm getting goosebumps now. There were other things that worried me. Soon I'll be facing whatever they meant by " getting attached" yesterday. It was making me nervous. Jin stepped near me with a plate on his hand.

" Here, eat it" He placed the plate of pancakes in front of me , shifting my thoughts to the nice smell of the hot breakfast. He poured some honey syrup on top of his homemade pancakes. Boy, he can even cook well. The smell of it was enough to make my mouth water. I glanced him with an aww.

" You made them by yourself?"

" Of course" he smiled and sat near me to have his breakfast. I didn't waste any more time to admire it. I grabbed my form and knife and start digging in to the delicious meal.

Jungkook was staring at me from the other end of the table. As I noticed him looking at me I waved him a "Hi" with my mouth stuffed with pancakes. That grumpy man just rolled his eyes and continued eating his food, not even caring to greet with a smile.

Rude!

"How old are you? You look younger than me" Taehyung asked me pointing his folk at me. I couldn't look at him without that picture of him wearing red boxes popping in my head. I snubbed my thoughts and glanced at him. Judging by his looks he didn't look more than twenty-two or twenty-three years.

"19, I became 19 this March" I seized my hand as I answered him , smiling sheepishly at him. His mouth took an "O" shape as he nodded understandably. Jimin decided to ruin my mood

" I'm impressed, I thought you were only three" He sarcastically commented making my face furrowed. He was careful not to start a fight cause Jin was here as well.

" You are younger than Jungkook then," Taehyung said munching his food again. That was a new information for me.

So Jungkook is the youngest.

I glanced at the man who was silently having his breakfast. He didn't mind me or anything about me. As always he's ignoring me and cutting me off from his world. I quickly finished my meal with thoughts whirling around my head.

"Time is up Yeong Seok" Here's the moment I was being afraid to arrive. Namjoon motioned his finger towards me as he stood up.

"Bring him downstairs" He left the kitchen making me even more worried. I looked here and there like a trapped animal. I was getting panicked and anxious. Suddenly Hoseok placed a hand on my shoulder with a light squeeze.

"It's gonna hurt a bit. But Don't worry, come on now Yeong Seok-ah" He smiled at me. God, he's brighter than the sunshine when he smiles. I tried to gain confidence towards myself. I heaved a soft sigh and got up from the chair to follow Hoseok. Other guys were right behind us. Looks like everyone expect for Yoongi gonna participate the ceremony.

We headed to a room in the basement. It was a room, with a dim light, only one chair and a table to the whole room. The table was placed right underneath the bulb making it brighter than other places. Namjoon was standing turning back to us. He looked like he was holding something in his hand. A cloud of smoke was rising from near him. Is he grilling barbeque there? Well, I don't think he brought me here to have barbeque chicken.

Taehyung closed the door with a soft thud making me feel more apprehensive about this thing. I could feel my muscles clenching because I was trying to hide my nervousness.

Why am I sweating even it's cold?

"Everyone who becomes part of us will be owned by him and only him. This will mark you as his property, You will be giving yourself to him," Namjoon explained while still turning his back on us. I was already flustered by his explanation and not seeing what he was doing was making me even more worried. I wobbled my cheeks to get rid of the uneasiness. The blonde turned around allowing me to see what was in his hands. I gasped loudly.

Holy crap!

It was metal mould with glowing  red colour on it. It was still smoking because of the heat. I couldn't imagine how hot that thing was. It was a metallic logo which had a butterfly inside a ring. The butterfly wings were laughing at me like they knew what was going to happen.

The more I stare at that design more it got familiar to my eyes. I have seen that before. My attention drifted to the weird colour tattoo on Jin's exposed arm. Then I looked at Jimin's, I remembered the one Taehyung had on his chest, the one I saw on Yoongi's chest,

It was this design, it was this  mark everyone had it carved on their bodies. The weird redish brown colour tattoo. The similar one everyone had.  I understood why it had a weird colour.

Because it isn't a tattoo after all. It is a freaking flax logo to show that they were owned by someone. And that someone is "Him"

My mind kept screaming. I took a step back, gulping down hard. It's going to hurt a lot I swear to god, I wanted to run, run away far as possible from this.  I can't do this, I can't do this at all.

I took few steps away from Namjoon till I hit my back on someone else. I saw it was Taehyung who was behind be as I swilled my head around. He glanced at me with a concern and worrisome written in his face.

"It'll hurt, but you'll have to do it" he nudged me. I stuttered having problems with finding my voice.

"I.."

"Yeong Seok!" Namjoon called me. " You have to do this, You know it right?" I sighed and stared at the iron mould on his hand.

"Where do I have to put it?" I asked, finally caving in his idea. I heard Jin's voice behalf of Namjoon's.

"On your chest-"

" HELL NO!NOT THERE!NO!" With a loud shriek ,I covered my chest with my hands, gagging at his statement. My eyes winded in horror thinking about getting undressed infront of them. Ok, maybe I overreacted. They were looking at me like I was something from out of space.

"I mean, it'll be so painful" I tried to be reasonable and excuse my daft act.

"Let me finish, your chest or your arm" Jin completed his sentence trying to calm me down. I sighed in relief. But again thinking about keeping that thing on my body, Can I really bare that?

I gulped.

"It has to be done if you want to be part of us Yeong Seok" Namjoon again talked some sense to me. He was forgetting something. It's not like I wanted to join, I was forced to join. But it was totally my fault, it was because I wasn't careful enough to save my butt. There's no point in arguing now. I took a deep breath.

"Ok I'll do it"  My jaws clenched together as I said. By harshly biting my lower lip, I tried to seduce myself to this.

" Good boy, you can sit there. It'll take only a sec all right" Namjoon smiled in relief and pointed me the chair. I nodded and sat on the chair. He called the guy who was watching from behind.

" Jimin! Stretch his arms" No, not him. Jimin stepped towards me to grip my arm. He didn't smirk at me or anything. Instead, there was a somewhat concern on him. I was kinda astounded by seeing his worried face. A few minutes ago he looked like he wanted to kill me, but now he's concerned about me.

Maybe Jimin is not that bad...

Others stood in a semi-circle around me. With all of them around I felt comfortable and less worried. Jimin took my hand and rolled my sleeve up revealing my bare arm. I slightly jittered when Namjoon came near us holding that thing in his hand.

"Look at his arm.No muscles at all. Even his hands are like a woman"

Out of blue, suddenly Taehyung stated examining my body. I flickered at him.

"Yah! Stop underestimating my body" I was panicked about what he said. Did he...

"Chill, I'm just trying to distract you" I was mentally relived as he said. But again that relief was stolen by the heated mould in the blonde's hand.

"I'll keep it here ok?"  Namjoon circled an area in my lower arm with his finger while Jimin was holding my arm tightly. I agreed with a nod.

Man, I'm scared.

I'm so scared.

How can I bare the pain?

I wish I could hold  someone,

Namjoon inched the hot metal to my arm. Jimin was having an iron grip on it, not letting my arm shake. I could feel his tense through his face. I was on the edge of tearing up.

I suddenly felt a hand on my free hand.

I looked at the owner.

Jungkook?

He was holding my hand. He was holding it tightly.

I looked into his eyes.

His twinkling eyes.

That spark of his eyes...

I felt a huge pain in my arm as the merciless metal sunk into my flesh. It started burning and getting deeper inside my muscles. 

I wanted to cry so hard.

I wanted to scream out loudly.

But...

I can't...

Because those eyes were holding me back. I was trapped in his eyes. I was looking into them instead of thinking about the pain. I was immersed in that universe inside them.

A tear drop fell, rolling down my cheek. That single tear captured all of my fears and pain inside it.

Even it hurts,

It really don't hurt.

Why do these tears keep overflowing like this?

This look in your eyes gazing at me is so beautiful...

The gazing eyes of his are so colourful...

Mitsume teru,

Kurayami  sae ye mo

So beautiful🌹

I was literally listing to " Your eyes tell" song when I wrote this😅

See ya in the next chap❤️
