House of Cards {Taehyung x Reader}

Chapter 16

The hospital stay wasn't long. Usually they would have kept me here longer but due to our 'unusual circumstances' they were letting us out early. I was packing up the rest of my stuff while waiting for the interview to start. Jungkook had already finished and was scrolling through his phone. He was back to his normal happy self which was good.

The doctors said I was lucky to be able to walk after what happened. Of course it still hurt walking around but at least I wasn't paralyzed.

We heard the crowd become louder and we both gathered around my laptop that was on my hospital bed. The 6 boys walked up on the stage, they were dressed in mostly black. Taehyung approached the mic.

"A week ago there was an incident at one of our concerts in Seoul. A women opened fire and shot Jeon Jungkook and (y/n) (l/n)." He took a deep breath, "Luckily, they are both fine and are leaving the hospital today. Jungkook's injury will not stop him from performing, in fact he says he can't wait to get back on stage." He looked down at his hands. "As for my girlfriend, (y/n), we have decided the best course of action will be for her to-" He fought tears. "For her to go back to California the remaining months of her education. She is such a joy to have around. Our entire team is sorry that she can't be around at this time." His voice cracked from his cries. Suga stepped up to him and wrapped his arm around him, obviously just as upset.

"We ask for all ARMY, news stations, reporters, and everyone else it concerns to leave her be until she can return home to us." Suga continued in place of Taehyung. I turned away from the screen and finished packing. Tonight was the only time I get with them before I leave tomorrow. They finished off the interview with Taehyung still very upset. He hated that Bighit was sending me home. He thinks what happened to me was his fault for not being right next to me. Honestly I rather it have hit me than him, he's actually worth something. I'm just sorry that all 3 of them didn't hit me but at least Jungkook will be able to live life like nothing happened.

As soon as I zipped up my bag the door opened and Ryu walked in.

"The car is out front, are you two ready?" Jungkook and I looked at eachother and answered with a simple nod before replying.

"Yep." I smiled. I'm so ready to go home. Kang walked in from behind Ryu with a wheelchair. I rolled my eyes but sat in it and allowed them to push me to the elevator, Jungkook followed closely behind.

Taehyung had told me he started packing a few of my things to go back to California. He said he refused to pack all of it so he kept some of my dresses and all the decorations I put around the room. I love that boy.

The automatic doors to the hospital opened as we walked in front of it. The cool winter air bit at my nose. Strangely there were no reporters. No fans. No guards. Just normal hospital staff and a few patients. I guess everyone listened to what the boys asked earlier today.

Despite everything that has happened recently I decided I wanted to be in a good mood. I feel like Taehyung and I's relationship was built around tears. Every few days something happened to cause one of us to break out crying. I want to be able to laugh with him before I go and to continue laughing with him while I'm away. No more tears, no more sadness. Just love and friends and all things happy.

...

All 8 of us arrived at the dorms at the same time. Taehyung rushed over to me and pulled me into a hug. As we walked to the elevator he stayed close to my side in case I needed a break from walking.

For the first time in a while the apartment was clean. The dishes were done and put away and the whole place smelled of clean laundry. They didn't clean often but when they did the whole place sparkled.

"I'm thinking of grilling steaks tonight. " Jin announced. My stomach growled at the thought of it.

"Oh god yes please. I've had nothing but hospital food for way to long." Jin smiled and made his way to the kitchen, Suga followed. The rest of the boys scattered to their rooms, including Taehyung and I. When I entered the room my eyes scanned the walls. I had turned the room into my own personal art gallery. There were drawings, paintings, origami swans, paper snowflakes, and a ton of photographs taped on the walls. Taehyung always liked the stuff I made so he never made a fuss when I would put up stuff in his room.

A few of the closet doors were open to reveal it's almost empty interior, a large suitcase placed right underneath it. This would be the first time I was going back to California without a team of people to back me up. Usually I was accompanied by my bodyguards, makeup artist, and wardrobe. Since there was no need for me to be glammed up I was simply going with my bodyguards.

"You want to watch a movie?" Tae broke me away from my thoughts. A smile spread across my face and I gave a nod. I layed next to him on the bed, basically curling up like a cat next to him. His arms wrapped around me and he used one of his hands to play with my hair. On his laptop we scrolled through Netflix until we finally decided on Moana.

I could hear him quietly sing along to the songs as we watched. He was so cute.

We got about half way through the movie when Jin called everyone to dinner. The house smells amazing. The table was set and a mountain of food sat in the center. Everyone grabbed at the food like it was their first time eating in days. Jimin, who sat next to Jungkook, helped give him food since it still hurt to move his arm. There was an unopened bottle of A1 sitting in front of my plate, I grabbed it and dumped it on my steak. They all laughed at such an american display.

Jin made his weird noises as he ate and I made a mess of everything I ate, Yoongi and Taehyung took turns wiping A1 sauce off my face. Every once in a while J-hope and I would flick peas at each other without the others noticing. The harder I laughed the more my wounds hurt but I tried to ignore it as much as possible.

"You know, now that you speak mainly Korean you're gonna have to start greeting us formally." Jin pointed his chopsticks at me.

"Oh Jin-oppa! The food is so delicious!" I mimicked a cheesy kdrama tone. They all laughed at my act of aegyo.

We all helped clean the dishes after dinner. I was originally in charge of rinsing the dishes but was demoted to dryer after spraying the boys too many times. As J-hope finished putting away the dishes the rest of us got ready for bed and sat on the couch for a movie night. Taehyung put his arm around me and I naturally cuddled into his side.

Taehyung P.O.V

(y/n) fell asleep on my lap half way through the movie. The rest of the guys whispered their goodnights and went to their rooms. Careful not to hurt her stitches I scooped up (y/n) and carried her to bed. Once in bed her body was almost completely on top of me, her head on my chest. Her breathing was even and her mouth was curled into a slight smile. She was so peacefully when she slept. I kissed the top of her head, her hair smelled like her honey shampoo.

I wish everyday could be like this. All of the members and her. Not getting to see her everyday will be hard for me, but I have to endure it, for her.

A/N: I just bought Bon Voyage and I'm pumped. I've been waiting to see the full series for so long! Thanks for reading! Don't forget to vote and comment!! -M
