Followed by a modern style text text ""Do you want to be bonded?" Namjoon asked bluntly. Seokjin's head turned without his permission, eyes skipping away from that little blot on the ground back to Namjoon's face. "If it saves me from an active warzone," Seokjin said. He had thought to joke but the words sounded so serious. Namjoon's expression didn't change. "It may," he said. "Then I will be incredibly cooperative," said Seokjin. Those big big eyes flashed in his mind again, the tattooed hand. The single swollen knuckle. One of the highest scoring sentinels we've had in years, the memory of Namjoon's voice moments ago reminded him. "Namjoon-hyung, can I have tomorrow off? I've got to see this," said Jimin. OR Seokjin has spent years in a war bunker waiting to bond to a sentinel. The opportunity is here. Will he survive it?"
