UNWANTED

Chapter 23

"Tae? Tae wake up!" Hoseok shouts, shuffling me slightly as I wake up to notice I'm still on his back.

I rub my tired eyes with one of my hands before noticing a stranger standing in front of us next to a car.

My heart leaps with happiness,

We're safe!! We're safe!!! Oh my God, I'm finally gonna see my parents again!!!

I couldn't help but burst into tears right there and then, the stranger was a man, probably in his 30s. He wore a kind smile as he explains how he saw Hoseok walking down the road ahead, finding it strange to see anyone this far out from town wandering around. At first he thought we might have broke down and were looking for a gas station or something but once he saw our faces, he says he recognises us from the news.

Hoseok gently places me onto my feet, a small smile spread on his lips when he see my expression. I was just so happy, I was finally getting to go home.

The man motions for us to get in, opening the door for both of us.

I was grinning from ear to ear, ignoring the throbbing pain I could feel, specifically in my jaw as I duck my head down to enter the car, getting one foot inside when a loud bang goes off.

I freeze, my entire body fills itself with adrenaline.

The sound rips through the air, echoing loudly in my ears as the man who once stood beside me falls to the ground, a large wound to the head.

I let out a shriek, jumping away from the limp body lying in the middle of the road now. I literally cling onto Hoseok, my full body shaking with fear as we hear a sinister cackle.

Four tall figures appear from the bushes and I do everything I can to not cry any harder than I already was. Hoseok takes a stand in front of me, placing one of his hands out so that he is shielding me, blocking my view of the crazed men.

I glance down at the kind man as my heart aches at the fact we dragged him into this.

If he never saw us then he would've still been alive, driving happily down the road.

I was able to peak just a little around Hoseok's shoulder since he was so preoccupied with the monsters in front to see me peering out from behind him.

"You're a fucking psycho!" Hoseok screams at the blonde haired man, who has a gun twirling around in his grasp. I could tell this was Hoseok's breaking point, he had been suffering for so long, he was so close to freedom till they found us.

"How dare you leave us." Namjoon smirks, taking a stand a few feet in front with Jimin and Jungkook on either sides of him. He pushes Yoongi down onto his knee making my eyes fall onto him.
