Chapter 15 - Unrevealed hints of the ring - Chapter 15

Y/N's POV

"This can't be..." I thought as I was making my way in the campus, not knowing where to go, "I should've not left the boys alone with the black silhouette, what if it will disturb them afterwards..." I narrowly started to feel more and more eager and was inclined to go back...yet...every time I thought about it, my heart was sprinting even faster. Why this thing keeps troubling me with this stupid ring! Why can't it just leave me alone?

I turned around to go back to Jungkook and Seokjin until I heard someone's familiar voice nearby, "Y/N, wait up!"

I turned around and spotted Seokjin coming towards me. "Jin?" I mumbled.

"Are you alright?" Seokjin worriedly asked, "You seemed terrified outside..."

"Jin, there's no way I'm crazy, I definitely saw something behind you, I saw this monster more than once," I said as I was looking into his eyes without glancing back, "I don't know how to explain it, but that ring you took from me weeks ago, this ring is what the monster keeps showing me-" I suddenly stopped and sighed in frustration.

"Y/N...whatever this thing does, don't ever wear this ring.." Seokjin quietly said with a serious tone.

"Huh? Why?" I asked, "Are you somehow involved or connected with it? Is it yours?" I added as I was desperate for answers to my questions.

"Y/N I can't answer these questions for you but promise me you won't wear the ring" Seokjin replied and then looked away, but it didn't answer to the questions I was looking for.

An atmosphere went silent between us until I spoke, "Jin, I'm begging you, tell me the truth" I paused, waited for him to glance back at me, which eventually he did, and then I continued, "will it kill me?"

Seokjin didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was willing to tell something but couldn't, until Jungkook appeared and pronounced, "The ring is more than you think it is"

I looked at Jungkook confusedly and waited for him to finish his sentence, until Seokjin stepped on the front of me, facing Jungkook. I couldn't see the reaction of his, but I knew that Seokjin was dissatisfied from what Jungkook has just said. "Jungkook, we talked about it, keep your mouth shut," Seokjin said as he did one step forward to Jungkook.

Jungkook didn't react to it and stayed without emotions yet with a little smirk. "You seemed you were ready to tell her the truth Jinnie, what's the matter?" Jungkook said as he continued looking at Seojin with a bit of impudent gaze. As I was trying to step forward too, I suddenly felt someone grabbed my hand and pulled me away from them.

The guy who pulled me was the guy who saved me from getting hit by a train weeks ago, Hoseok. I tried to pull my hand away from him and call the boys, but at the same time, the big part of me was telling that it would be for the best to keep a little distance from them yet since they seemed like they were having a serious conversation in which I shouldn't be involved. Therefore, I held Hoseok's hand tighter, which seemed like it surprised him, but he continued gently pulling me away from Jungkook and Seokjin further away.

Hoseok took me to the nearest corner, and let my hand go. He turned around and tried to say something, but I interrupted him and said, "Why did you pull me away from them?"

Hoseok blinked rapidly 2 to 3 times and sighed a little, and eventually replied with a quiet and a little bit nervous tone, "I..." he paused, but continued anyway, "...felt like you were in danger with them"

I gave him a confused look, "How?" I asked.

Hoseok swept his hair back gently but quickly, and replied, "They seemed like they were having a little bit of a private discussion..."

I continued starring at him, "and?" I thought in my head.

"And?" Hoseok said, "and if they start a fight, I don't want you to get hurt by them"

"Oh..." I murmured and lowered my gaze a little, "did he just read my mind?" I thought. Like...it was quite strange to me because he repeated the question I thought in my head. But at the same time, I thought that maybe I was just overthinking, "Nah, I think it was just a coincidence..." I thought to my head. I glanced back at Hoseok, and decided to ask, "Were you stalking me?"

He went surprised and confused at the same time, and replied, "What do you mean?"

"That's a second time you practically saved me?" I said unsurely, "You saved me from the train accident, and now from these guys, what are you? A guardian angel?"

Hoseok chuckled and lowered his gaze. Soon he looked back at me and said, "I was just nearby, I guess that's just a coincidence or a luck?" His tone sounded unsure, but it also seemed like he tried to hide it and act confidently. Suddenly, Hoseok's phone rang. He took his phone out and seemed to open a message. I couldn't see who texted him nor sent him something, but his smile slightly disappeared. I asked him, "Is something wrong?"

Hoseok looked at me and then back at his phone. "Um...nothing, nothing," he said unsurely and rapidly.

"Are you sure..." I thought to my head.

"Yes I am" he murmured.

Did he just read my mind again? Or was it another coincidence? This guy seemed too suspicious, and I felt like he was hiding something from me too. I wanted to ask him if he can read minds, but at the same time, I felt like he would think that I'm crazy or something, so I didn't say anything. However, a sudden speech came out from my mouth, "Do you happen to know who Jungkook and Seokjin are?"

"Pardon?" He asked and put his phone back to his pocket.

"The guys you took me from, do you know who they are?" I repeated.

Hoseok looked around as if he was making sure that nobody was nearby. "Why are you asking me that?"

"Yes or no?" I asked with a bit angrier tone.

"He asked you why" someone's impudent voice came from somewhere. I looked at the direction from where it was coming from, and spotted a guy with a smirky face, coming towards us as he messed up his gorgeous dark hair a little with his left hand, and kept his right hand in his leather jacket's pocket.

"Yoongi?" Hoseok surprisingly asked, "Where did you come from?"

Yoongi stopped on front of Hoseok, and playfully sighed, "Y'all asking too many questions.." he said, "can I join in this questionable game, and ask my question as well?" He added.

Yoongi glanced at me for a few seconds, giving me a quite unexplainable look as if he was up to something neither good or bad, and then looked back at Hoseok. Shall I say something? Or shall I let Hoseok handle it on his own...?
