┌────── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ──────┐

Today you woke up before Taehyung. You could hear the continuous beats of his heart. His chest rose and fell with each breath he took. You lay on top of him, not having the energy to move. Every day you spent with Taehyung in the room, you could feel the energy draining out of you.

You get nightmares every night, and a change in location doesn't change that. You were used to the nightmares. Of course, you would not tell Taehyung that. The nights you actually slept. You would wake up in the middle of the night and then immediately roll over and go to sleep.

Taehyung thought you had nightmares because you were held captive. Maybe he felt guilty. While him sleeping beside you on the bed didn't prevent the nightmares. It helps you go back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night.

Your eyes shifted to his face. He has exquisite features. His eyes were uneven, you just noticed. He had one mono lid and one double eyelid. He had a sharp nose which rounded at the tip. A sharp jawline gave his face a more defined look. He had long, thin lips which turned into a rectangular smile whenever he was happy. You had seen him smile a few times, and it made his mature face look youthful. His black perm had him look like a god.

Taehyung's eyes fluttered open. The first thing he saw was you looking at him. He flushed.

You were sleeping on top of him because there wasn't enough space for both of you to sleep on the bed. It was Taehyung who suggested this sleeping arrangement. You were small and weighed less, and Taehyung was strong enough for you to sleep on his chest.

You could feel him take deep breaths under you. You rolled off him and headed to the bathroom. As usual, there was food near the door. Every morning at four, someone would come and place food. Taehyung didn't want you to know when the door opened and one of the gang members dropped off the food. Because whoever nice he was to you, he had still kidnapped you. But one night you lay awake and heard it. You could use it to escape if you find a gun.

A gun solves all the problems.

You freshen up and take a bath. When you come out, Taehyung is waiting for you. Another man by his side. He was shorter than Taehyung by a few centimeters. He flipped his dyed blonde hair off his forehead. He stared at you intensely, but his stare wasn't as intimidating as Taehyung's. Yet it made you regret the decision of coming out of the bathroom.

"Yeona, we have to take you back to your father." Taehyung said.

You frown. "If you have killed my father, why are you taking me back to him? Just drop me off in Seoul."

"Things didn't go according to our plan. We have to take you back to your father." The other guy responds.

Dread filled you. You didn't want to go back to your dad. You wanted to go back to Seoul. Sure, your dad worked in Seoul, but you wanted to go to the other side of the city. Away from him. You didn't want to face your father again. Not after all these years. Not after what he had done.

"I'm going to blindfold and bind you." Taehyung said. He moved behind you and pulled a black bag over your face. He didn't tie it to allow air to pass. Then he tied your hands. You didn't try to fight it. The thoughts of going back to your father filled your brain. It played repeatedly in your mind, making you feel helpless.

There had to be a way to escape.

Taehyung put his hands between your shoulder blades and gently pushed you, trying to get you to walk. You took a step forward. Taehyung guided you into the car. You could sense more people in the car. Was the entire gang there?

You sat down where Taehyung guided you to. Tension was thick in the air. It seeped under your skin to your bones. You shuddered. Your legs were pressed against someone's. You couldn't tell. The man had a gun strapped to his thigh. Your hands were tied. If only I could get that gun.

You were in a jeep; you guessed. It started moving along the rocky road. Soon the road turned smooth. You were in Seoul again. Your heart thumped in your chest.

The man beside you opened the window. The strong wind blew your hair in your face. But you couldn't feel it because of the black bag on your face. You wondered if it would fly away from your face. If it did, then you would be able to get a glimpse of the scenery outside. It would help to determine where you were.

A hand gripped your thigh, just above your knee. You froze. The long fingers squeezed your thigh reassuringly.

"It's me, Taehyung." Taehyung's husky voice whispered in your ear. You relaxed a little.

Your mind was racing. You tried to gather your thoughts. Taehyung was sitting beside you. You had to get his gun. You didn't want to go back to your father.

All these years you had stayed in the shadows. You weren't ready to face the light. As soon as you returned to your father, the shadow died. You died. You would be put under observation 24/7. You'd have to learn about his work, because you had to take his place when he needed you to. Or when he died.

You wouldn't blame Bangtan. They were doing what they had to do to survive. Though you didn't appreciate it. Maybe you'll drop them a little note about it when you get out of this mess.

You were temporarily blinded. This heightened all your other senses. You could hear Taehyung's shallow breath beside you. Someone was drumming their fingers along the dashboard. Someone restlessly tapped a window. You hear someone move in your direction. A man whispers something to Taehyung, which you couldn't hear.

For some reason you wanted it to rain. Rain would fit the atmosphere in the car.

The car stopped. You wished your heart would stop too.

Taehyung helped you get out. Your legs were turning into jelly, but you forced them to walk. He led you down a rocky path. Grass tickled your ankles as you walked by. You were in a field. It could be an open patch of land too.

You stop. Taehyung unties the ropes binding your hands. You curl and straighten your fingers mischievously. Your hands set to work.

"Stay safe." He whispers in your ear before removing the blindfold covering your eyes.

You blink a few times and look back. You were in a patch on open land. The Bangtan Boys have already left. You smirk, getting the gun which you stole from Taehyung close to your face. Taehyung didn't realise you took his gun. You were going to stay safe now.

Five of your father's men were closing in from the front. You raised your arms in front of you and shot all of them dead.

You tucked the gun in the waistband of your jeans. You needed a break for a few days after this.

{A/N}: So I have noticed that not a lot of you guys are not voting on the chapters. It would be really great if you did. 

But anyways, Indigos, 

How was this chapter?

Have things started to spice up a bit?
