The Nerds

54: Fallen of The Heir

Lovely - Billie Eilish And Khalid

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO LISTEN TO IT WHILE READING THIS CHAPTER!!!!

The crowd in the lobby is frozen in place.

Not a single body moved.

And if they did, it's to get out of the way.

All air escaped everyone's lungs with shocked eyes to the man moving through their bodies wordlessly. Only a few of them made way to the middle of the lobby for the familiar blonde-haired man to walk through, with a leverage in his arms.

A pricey leverage.

Yeosang's unconscious body.

Everyone was mute, watching the crazed man with emotionless eyes as he takes the limp prince in his bloody hands, stopping in his steps all so suddenly when he is met with the faces of the main five a few feet ahead of him by the stairwell.

The intensity is growing with every passing second as they stare at each other without uttering another word, but Taehyung's attention didn't last long on them.

But to the king.

Taehyung makes eye contact with Jungkook, who's staring at Yeosang's body but slowly looks to the blonde man with a lethal glare. Taehyung's eyes are completely lifeless, eyeing the way the main five are pointing their guns at him.

Including Jimin, with a similar emotionless expression clear in his eyes as well, but that's something Taehyung isn't deceived by.

The maniac is back, but that's a cover.

He's too emotionally attached.

Taehyung made sure he was.

He needs someone from the inside after all.

They all wait; for the leader to give the call that won't ever come, or for Taehyung to own up to the body he's carrying in his arms.

For anything by this point.

The tension began to rise every lingering second.

And the blonde fallen angel grew impatient by it.

"He's breathing," Taehyung murmurs without emotions, feeling the body stir softly in his arms.

Jungkook teeth gritted together and goes to take a step forward, but notices the gun being pointed to Yeosang's side from Taehyung's large hand holding him.

There's more to this of course.

The blonde shakes his head numbly at him, "One step closer and I'll kill him. If anyone shoots me, I'll kill him. You out of all people know I will do it. I don't give a fuck."

Jungkook froze, watching intently to the unconscious boy with his heart beating hard against his chest and his throat throbbing by how bad he's holding in his rage. Yeosang looks dead already with his pale face and purple visible marks on his neck from the blonde's murderous hands, but the sight of his moving chest says otherwise.

Seeing him like this brings Jungkook back to when he first found him.

How the boy was so beaten up and abused that he feared the touch of anyone, no matter how safe the person could be.

But he trusted Jungkook after a while

And Jungkook promised to protect him.

If Yeosang dies... Because the hands of Taehyung.....

Because of a fucking rat-

The small body in Taehyung's arms slightly begins to stir, nuzzling his small face against the blonde's chest before slowly fluttering his eyes open. Jungkook parental instinct forced him to almost rush forward and yank the kid back into his arms; be his shield to the world and keep his promise to protect him from anyone hurting him.
