"No." Well, if this was getting close to the end and he was screwed, why not just be honest? It was something he never dared to share but who the hell was Yoongi going to tell? No one. He wouldn't let him get near Jin or anyone like that. Not until he was gone. "I don't control Tae. I try, every day, I gotta make him need me and fear me because if he doesn't listen to me then things get bad. It's not that I want to be like this with him but --"

Tae could snap. He just did sometimes and every time, he lost a little piece of himself and left bodies in his wake. "You know, one minute I think I have him, I know I control him and then the next, there's blood everywhere and he's crying to me and what am I supposed to do? I just got to clean it up. I handle it. I'm the hyung."

And he was good at it. He looked at Yoongi and frowned. "Just like I'll handle this. I said if I was king for a day, I'd protect you."
