Chapter Text
Finally everything falls into place for Hobi. It was the vice-captain who planned to go against his instructions for a treasure he had no right over. This is now a more concrete theory and he should tell Jimin about it. However he can't leave the room before Yoongi stops him with an obvious truth.
- He won't do anything about it.
- Yoongi, I know he's emotional but he's still my boss. He needs to know this!
- All you'll do is stress him even more. But let's be honest, his plan won't change. He'll try to go back home going unnoticed so they don't attack us
- You don't think he'll face them? They're murderers! You think Jimin will let them go?
- And you think my lovely and extremely correct Jimin would risk his mission, his ship and his life looking for justice without a direct order from Earth?
-...Well, if you put it like that I guess not.
Hobi feels uncomfortable to say the least. There's something extremely wrong with letting those people behind and just run away. They killed a crew that he considered heroes. The other three can tell that's what he's thinking and Yoongi decides to say the first thing that comes up in his head.
- Maybe we could go after them
-...What?
- Look, you don't have to join me if you don't want to. But honestly I don't mind doing this for us. My other option is to just go back to earth with you and spend my life sad and very very lonely. This way I could at least take a problem off my Jiminie's shoulders.
There's a moment of silence. And the first one to stand by his side ready to join him is Kook. Let's not lie to ourselves, Yoongi won't make it alive without someone to protect him.
- You'll really leave the ship where Tae is?
- They are a threat to my Pak'thra as well. It is my mission in life to keep him safe. And this is the last thing I'll be able to do for him before we go back to our planet where he'll ignore me forever
- God, you guys are so dramatic about that.
Hobi can't understand how they think about their romantic problems in a situation like this. But he can't even ask about it before Joonie joins them as well. He was there when it all started and he wants to be there when it ends. If there's one person in this world that wants justice for what happened to the last crew it's him. Although Hoseok doesn't love the idea, it feels like the right thing to do.
- We're gonna need a plan if we wanna go through with this. I have an idea. It's risky but I think it'll work
- Of course it's risky, we're only four!
- No, guys. You're three. - Hobi says - I can't leave my position and I would shit myself if I go with you. I'll make sure things here go as planned and we can escape if they try to catch us.
Since having an actual physical fight would be an absolute disadvantage, they decide to listen carefully to Hobi's plan. Kook is on his warrior mode. Ready to do whatever it takes to put an end to that menace. Joonie of course intervenes with silent signals to guide Hobi on things that he knows would work. This is their only chance against that man and his crew. The possibilities to come back alive aren't as high as they wish but neither of them cares about it anymore. They won't back down now.
Before leaving, Yoongi writes a small letter. The most important thing is to clarify in it that if something happens to him it's his own responsibility. He's doing this to take a problem away from Jimin not to add one. He makes it clear he's not following his orders at all and that he lied about his reasons to be in that ship. If this is a mistake then he's the only one to blame for the result. He leaves the letter on top of his desk together with instructions for Jimin to access his entire collection of songs. He feels that's the part of him Jimin will miss the most if he doesn't come back alive.
After going through their plan for the third time, they head to the emergency exit capsule. The three of them leave Hobi behind and finally start a journey in a different direction than their ship. After a few minutes, they check the map to make sure they're in the right direction.
- How the fuck are we supposed to find this guys? I mean...what if they're not as close as we thought?
- Well, if we can't go to them then maybe they should come to us
- Give me an idea that works, Kook
- If Patra talks they'll trace him, right? And they could come and get us.
They both stare at the white haired alien, waiting for his approval. He takes a deep breath calming his nerves. Not even he remembers how his own voice used to sound. After clearing his throat, he looks out the window where the stars and galaxies hide his biggest enemy on this universe.
- Come and get me, Donghae
His voice is deep and sweet at the same time. Kook already chose Tae as his other half but he must admit a voice like that would make him have a crush on Nam if he thinks about it too much. Now the three of them are ready to end the debt of injustice after what the last crew passed through. And hopefully they'll be able to talk about it someday...
