Our Own Love Story

Chapter 8

Taehyung panted as he heaved loudly. He stood still for a moment to collect his breath, and when he was sure that there was nothing in his stomach to get out, he got his small water bottle and cleaned his mouth. Then, he put on his black veil and checked his black outwear. Finding no strains, he left his hiding place behind the trees and run ahead.

He caught up with his four men team, which included Jungkook, himself, Soobin and Yugyeom and started running behind them.

"Where were you?" Jungkook asked as he slowed down and started moving along with Taehyung.
Taehyung grunted. "I needed to take a piss. Do I need your permission bastard?"

"Hn," Jungkook looked ahead. "You take the lead. I'll stay behind."
Nodding, Taehyung quickened his steps and jumped from one branch to another, getting ahead of the little group.

After Jungkook got injured and recovered, he had started taking Taehyung to missions with him. It had been almost four months now. They were mostly doing assassinations for other countries, and they were really good at it. Quick, silent, and invisible.
Jungkook immediately had Taehyung assigned to his team. It seemed like the bastard always had an ear and eye on Taehyung, and the other ones seemed to be on Soobin. Because there wasn't enough warrior to educate younger ones, every team had a beginner level warrior, so that they could learn in action.

With a hand gesture from Taehyung, they all stilled, sensing their target close by. Taehyung stilled immediately, focusing on his sage jutsu. The other three dropped on the ground, and covered themselves between the trees and bushes.

Jungkook took off his sword from its sheath, where it rested on his back, and walked ahead soundlessly. He gestured for his team members to pick up their weapons and move in time with him.

When he heard bushes shaking ahead of him, Jungkook quickened his steps and lifted his sword and without hesitating, he lowered it, ready to cut his opponent.

"Stop!"

Hearing Taehyung's cry, Jungkook stopped suddenly and came face to face with his opponent, who had similar clothes with Jungkook. All dark, loose leggings stuffed in long boot style sandals, hair and face covered with a veil.

Taehyung run into Jungkook's side, eyes golden, and took of his veil.

"Don't hurt each other."

"Taehyung, what?" Jungkook looked at Taehyung with a frown. Great, now he had a sword pressing against his throat.

With determined steps, Taehyung approached to fighter Jungkook was holding off and took off his veil and then lowered Jungkook's own quickly.

"J-Jungkook?" Bambam dropped the sword he was holding against Jungkook.

Frown getting deeper, Jungkook looked around and saw his comrades from the city holding weapons against the other.

"What's the meaning of this?" Soobin asked as he took a step backwards.

"Somebody has hired us to kill each other," Taehyung said thoughtfully.

"I'm so going to kill that man," Jungkook growled.

"Yes but, how?" Taehyung questioned. "It's really hard to tell who did this, since we get the orders secretly, and we don't know which team going where."
Jungkook exhaled a deep breath. Taehyung was right. They weren't organized enough to know who was getting orders from whom. And every team moved to their own accord. Great, just great.

"What we do now?" Bambam voiced the question everybody was thinking.

Jungkook let out another deep breath. "Back to the city."
