Death Progress Bar [Taekook]
Staying [2]
Kim Taehyung
No!!!
*Flung the door open and rushed in, darted to Jungkook’s side and hugged his thighs*
Master Jungkook, you must take me in. My brother wants me dead, you can’t send me back to him! To repay my saving your life, please let me stay!
Kim Taehyung
*Tightening his grip and looked up at Jungkook with teary eyes*
Someone
Whoa.
*Took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, intending to watch the fun*
Jeon Jungkook
*Frozen with shock, then his face sank*
Let go!
Kim Taehyung
No! It’s easier to invite the devil in than to send him away—you caught me, you have to be responsible for me!
*Abandoned his dignity*
[I am a teenager right now, I can throw a tantrum and make a scene without batting an eye—]
Kim Taehyung
*Nod at himself*
Kim Taehyung
[and TaTa gave me the ‘Twice the result with half the effort’ buff just now. He estimated that if I wanted to stay, the success rate of this method is the highest, so I would never let go!]
Jungkook’s legs lacked strength and he wasn’t able to kick Taehyung away. Perhaps because of anger, his pale face reddened slightly and his lips closed, pressing tightly together.
Jeon Jungkook
*Pulled out a dagger from his waistband and held it to Taehyung’s throat, threatening*
Let go or I will kill you.
TaTa
*Noticed his hesitation and reminded him loudly*
<Darling is bluffing, he won’t kill you! Look at your progress bar, it hasn’t risen at all! TaeTae, don’t be scared. Come on, take him down!>
Kim Taehyung
[How come these words sound a little weird?]
Taehyung was somewhat dubious, but he calmed down and kept clinging to Jungkook’s legs. He quickly explained his situation.
Kim Taehyung
*Looking pitiful*
Master Jungkook, you’re an honorable man, you definitely wouldn’t let me go back to die, right? And I’m not yet an adult. Are you really heartless enough to force me to try to make a living on my own? In case I run into a real criminal syndicate, it’s almost certain I will end up dead.
Jeon Jungkook
*Expression in his eyes changed, but not because of Taehyung’s sob story. He moved the dagger away*
You have four older brothers besides Kim Namjoon?
Kim Taehyung
Yeah, they’re all ruthless.
*Showing Jungkook the scar on his wrist*
Do you see this? In order not to die at my brothers’ hands, I had to fake a suicide attempt to get some breathing space and find a chance to escape, so don’t send me back or I will die, really.
Jeon Jungkook
*Voice relaxed a little*
Let go or I will really send you back.
Seeing him soften, Taehyung slowly loosened his hands, feeling nervous.
Jungkook did not look at him. He straightened his clothes and waved the rubber-necking doctor away.
Jeon Jungkook
Are you telling the truth?
Kim Taehyung
Truer than real gold.
*Promised and tried to make his story more convincing*
Remember the cucumber pillow I brought with me? There’s my blood on it, from the time I pretended to commit suicide; I used it to hide my documents and cash from my eldest brother, to be ready for when I found a chance to slip away.
