《Daybreak ⚣ 「k.th + p.jm」》Twenty-Four
Advertisement
My leg bounces up and down nervously as I wait. Jin left a little bit ago to go get Jungkook and Taehyung's been with his father for a while. I'm scared that something happened to him.
I look out the window and see Jin helping Jungkook back to our car. Namjoon gets out of the car and walks over to help them, talking with Jin on the way back.
They lay Jungkook in the backseat and Namjoon comes up to Yoongi, Hoseok, and I.
"We're leaving now," He says, turning to Hoseok. "Do you think you could stay back and help Jin, Jungkook's in a pretty bad condition," Hoseok's nods and Yoongi and I follow Namjoon down the path to the house.
"Tae's father must have been abusing Jungkook, he's not looking good at all," Namjoon says. "I'm scared to see what he's done to Taehyung,"
The walk is quiet until we reach the building. We walk up to it and Yoongi quietly opens the door.
We walk into the dimly lit room and see two figures near the back. Some yelling can be heard.
"weak," I hear, followed by a loud noise and the sound of coughing.
We get closer and I see Taehyung chained up with a guy standing in front of him. We lock eye contact for a moment before the man bends down to him, dragging something along his skin. I narrow my eyes and realize it's a knife.
As the man pulls it slightly away from Taehyung's skin, Namjoon kicks it out of his hand.
The guy watches the knife slide across the floor and then stares up at Namjoon with a smirk before looking over at the group of us a couple feet behind him.
"So you brought friends?"

The man, who I assume is Taehyung's father, pulls out a larger knife and walks closer to where Namjoon and Yoongi stand.
Yoongi walks closer to his father, planning his next attack when Taehyung is pulled up from the ground into his father arms.
"If any of you get closer," He says, pressing the knife into Taehyung's neck, drawing a little blood. "Then I'll kill him,"
Namjoon, Yoongi, and I look at each other before Namjoon yells something, causing his father to get distracted.
Yoongi runs up to him and grabs the knife out of his hand, causing Tae's father to drop him on the ground.
His father goes after Namjoon and Yoongi who lead him to the other side of the room.
I run up to Taehyung, trying to get the chains off of his wrists while Namjoon and Yoongi stall his father long enough for the police to come here like we planned.
I get the chains off one of his wrists and start working on the other when I notice Tae's eyes widen.
"Jimin-" He yells and I don't realize what's happening until I feel it.
Bang. Bang.
I fall in pain as I feel a piercing in my shoulder and then another one in my abdomen. I look down and notice blood pouring out of my wounds.
I look back and see Taehyung's father pointing a gun towards me. I turn and look up at Taehyung, who is sobbing, and my vision goes blurry before it goes completely black.
I lock eye contact with Jimin as I see him, Namjoon, and Yoongi come in through the door. Yoongi and Namjoon distract my father and Jimin runs over to me, undoing the chains around my wrists with a little chain cutter.
I look over at Yoongi and Namjoon when I realize everything going quiet. I look to where they're looking and see my dad pointing a gun towards us. He moves it away from me slightly and I realize where he's pointing it at.

"Jimin-" I yell, looking back at him. Jimin looks up at me when the gun goes off.
Bang. Bang.
I watch the bullets pierce through his skin, blood pouring out from the wounds. He looks up at me and my eyes start watering. The chain on my wrist breaks and I reach out to him.
I catch Jimin in my arms as his body falls limp. I pull him closer to me and I can hear his slowing breath.
I feel tears run down my face as I cry into his shoulder, hugging him close to my body. I use my hands and try to put pressure on the wounds to help stop the blood.
The door breaks down and I turn my attention to it, police start piling. I look around the room and lock eye contact with Yoongi and Namjoon, but my father is nowhere in sight.
"He escaped," I hear someone say. I look back down at the limp boy in my arms.
I soon feel him being lifted up, and I try to hold on. I look up and see a guy wearing a police uniform taking him away from me.
The guy next to him bends down and cuts the chains around my ankles, helping me to an ambulance.
I watch as they put Jimin's body on a stretcher and wheel him into another ambulance that takes off soon after he's put in.
I sit in shock, not fully processing everything that has happened yet. Then it all hits me.
He's gone.

Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals:50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!Links:Lotsseries.blogspot.comSocial:@tonyswag0 - twitter@lotsseries - FacebookI'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come.

There's magic in reading together to form a shared experience.Again, welcome aboard, my Guardians.

Whites' Veil
A boy leaves his hometown, tired of his menial life and, most importantly, the poverty of his village. His destination is Rubia, Capital of the Five Continents; and his goal, money to bring home. Though, that may just be an excuse; an excuse for him to leave the confines of his so-far idolised life--a life free from the endless adoration and praise, for reasons he detests. So he invites you to join him, to grow alongside him and to, one day, celebrate next to him. The year is 97c. Welcome to the Pentas Dale. Welcome to Whites' Veil... ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ Useful info. Usually, I publish on Sundays, if not, I aim for once a week or attempt to keep at least a bi-weekly schedule. This is a hobby/side project for me so I may go for long periods of time without uploading. I also recommend reading the story with Garamond, as this is the font I use for my manuscripts (obviously optional). ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ Links.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.
