Chapter 17 - DIOCH

As soon as they noticed Taehyung was dying, Jin quickly brought him to their base with his teleportation before he finally brought Eunseo back to them. Jimin and Namjoon quickly put Taehyung in their Medical Room and began treating his wound. Jin and Suga are also taking the treatment as their injuries are quite severe too. Luckily, Taehyung's heart hasn't really stopped, it's still beating even though it was so weak. 

Taehyung has lost almost ¾ of his power, he’s getting weaker day by day. But his friends always took care of him, especially Jimin. He felt dying too due to giving him so much power in healing him, but he didn't care as long as he could make him alive again, he would do everything. Jungkook couldn’t help but cry at the sight. If only he could do the same like Jimin does, He would. Unfortunately he didn’t have such power. He really wanted his hyung to open his eyes again. 

And Eunseo, she’s never leaving him, even she would take the couch to sleep just to watch how his lover is getting weaker day by day. Until Namjoon was placing a bed just near where Taehyung was sleeping, so Eunseo wouldn’t sleep on the couch anymore. She always cleaned his face, softly kissing his cold cheeks while whispering sweet words and how much she loved him.

She regretted that she never said she loved him right before he left. 

One year later

He was crawling to the big light far before him, he felt like he never got close.

But now, he could feel the light was piercing right through his eyes. It got closer and closer until the light was totally eating him alive.

He opened his eyes and noticed that he was in a room. The first thing he felt was throbbing pain and a dried throat. He could feel the sunray hitting his face almost make him squinted.

"Wa..Water.." He whispered hoarsely.

Jin was in his room to bring a new blanket for him when he saw Taehyung was clutching his head. The blanket soon fell down as he shakily whispered.

"Tae.. Taehyung…"

Once the realization hit him, he quickly rushed to his bedside. "Oh my god, Taehyung you're awake??" 

Taehyung whispered weakly as he glanced at his hyung. "Could you give me a water hyung?"

Jin quickly poured a glass of water on his bedside, helping him who was trying to get up. Jin held the glass and directed it to his mouth as Taehyung slowly took a sip. His left hand was carefully holding Taehyung’s back, afraid just a little strength would hurt him.

"How many times do I sleep hyung?" He softly whispered as soon as he’s done, his deep voice was horse and bit cracked. Jin quickly put the glass on the nightstand, and helped Taehyung to lean on the headboard.

"Tae . . You've been sleeping for almost a year." Jin softly said, a sad smile was attached on his lips.

“W-What? A-A Year?” Taehyung's wide eyes widened. His mind started to wonder and suddenly memories hit him like a brick of rock. 

The war.. Dominus… and Eunseo.

He suddenly felt his heart thumping faster. Noooo. Eunseo… I left her in Savannah.

"Where's Eunseo hyung? Did you take her back?!"

He clutched his hyung shirt, but it’s not too tight since he didn't have much energy. He was afraid something would happen to her.

"Eunseo.. She.." Jin was about to answer him but Taehyung impatiently cut him off. 

“No.. Don’t tell me you didn't take her back.. Hyung.” Taehyung was ready to burst into tears but Jin quickly calmed him down with his words. 

“She is in the garden, Taehyung.” He sighed. 

“Huh?” Taehyung frowned, his grip loosened.

“Don't worry nothing happened to her. I took her back as soon as Dominus died. And she always stayed here to take care of you Tae.” Jin gave him a reassuring smile. 

He felt so relieved she's alright and also hearing dominus had died was such a blessing too. “So we won?” He hesitantly asks, feeling a little bit regret that he couldn’t see how he’s died.

“Yes, Tae.” Jin nodded, smiling. Taehyung smiled too and then he moved his leg, wanting to get up from the bed, Jin was quickly holding him. “Where are you going?” He panicly said.

“Please show me where she is hyung. I want to see her.” He said, already sitting on the edge of the bed.

He tried to stand up with difficulty.

“But Tae, you just woke up.” Jin worriedly held his shoulder, carefully helping him to sit back. But he refused as he started to take small steps.

“It's okay hyung. I'M FINE. I Just want to see her please.” He begged. 

Jin could only sighed. “Alright, please take a step slowly. I’ll help you.”

Jin guided him to the garden in front of their house. Everyone was on the other side to have a meeting. So this house is empty, and soon this house will be filled with yelling or maybe crying once Jin tells them that Taehyung is already awake.  

When they reached the garden, They could see Eunseo was picking up flowers, sniffing them now and then.

“Thank you hyung..” Taehyung smiled and Jin returned it with a small nod before he slowly stepped out from the garden.

Taehyung was watching her for a minute. He noticed she was skinnier, did she take care of herself when I was asleep. He wondered.

He slowly approached her.

“Eunseo..” He softly called her.  She turned around and gasped. The flowers fall down. 

“Tae.. Taehyung…” She mutters in shock. Tears suddenly filled the brim of her eyes. Taehyung smiled, he got teary too. 

He was slowly getting closer to her. She still looked beautiful just like last time he saw her.  

“Is it really you?” She really wanted to cry, slowly approaching him. “It is not a dream, right?” She touched his face softly as she got closer.

Taehyung nodded as he pulled her in his embrace.

“Oh my god. It's really you… you're awake.. you're awake..” She finally choked up in tears, finally she could feel his warmth, his heartbeat beating normal. She cried in happiness.

“I'm sorry seo.. I'm sorry.. “ Taehyung was putting his head on her head, as he was also crying.

“Please don’t leave me again..” She sobbed. She looked up to meet his eyes, big wide eyes she always wished to be opened for this whole year.

“I won’t..” Taehyung smiled.

“I love you Taehyung, I never said it back when you left me. I regretted all the time I thought I couldn’t get to see you ever again..” She hiccuped at the joy of tears. 

“I’m here love, I’m here now.. And I love you too, Eunseo.. more than anything in this whole universe.“ He closed his eyes as he pressed his lips on hers, not even a second, she kissed him back, pouring all the longing they’re been suffering.

************************************

7 MONTHS LATER

Everyone on every planet wanted Namjoon to be the next King. The coronation day was in a few weeks more. All bangtan members soon throw a party to celebrate this. It’s just a small party near the beach, they didn’t invite anyone. Just the seven of them plus Eunseo and Leah who decided to just sleep in the room as she didn’t quite like partying. 

Namjoon was sitting in the middle of his friends, Jin and Suga were busy drinking their tenth glass of whiskey.

While Hoseok, Jimin and Jungkook were having fun near the speaker, dancing under the moonlight. Meanwhile Taehyung and Eunseo are cuddling in the recliner, a blanket covering both of them.

Namjoon suddenly gets up, gaining attention from Suga and Jin.

“Where are you going?” Jin asked.

“Restroom.” He answered softly as he took steps, leaving them.

“You know he’s going to another room right?” Suga wickedly smiled at Jin who only laughed. “I know.”

Namjoon turned the door knob and stepped inside, his feet covered in white sand. Soon the floor was stained with sand. 

Just like Suga predicted, Namjoon isn’t going to the restroom, in fact he’s going to the room beside the restroom. 

He knocked on the door and soon the door opened, revealing a beautiful woman that always made his breath hitch.

“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you enjoy the party?” She frowned.

“You know I couldn’t really enjoy it without you.” He replied with a smug grin.

Leah only chuckled and pulled the door wide open, Namjoon softly stepped in and soon they sat on the bed.

“So you decide to just come here, are you having ulterior motives?” She playfully smirks.

“It depends on you, do you want me to?” Namjoon answered with a slight raised eyebrow.

Leah pushed him softly. “You better get out.” She pretends to be mad.

“I’m kidding. I just want to talk..” Namjoon quickly defended. 

They laughed before silence enveloping them. He really wanted to talk to her sooner but she just refused to join the party and made his plan crumble down in the blink of an eye.

“Next week will be my coronation day.” He said, breaking the silence.

“Are you nervous?” She worriedly asked.

Namjoon nodded. “People might think I looked tough and accept it without any complaint but deep inside I was afraid if I could really do it?”

“Hey, It’s normal, it’s okay to feel like that. But you have to know that you really deserve this. After what you have done, you deserve to be a king for this whole universe..” Leah was encouraging him, putting her hands on his broad shoulders.

“Yeah, but I’m not confident though..” He looked down to see how sincere her eyes were.

“Why, you have powers and support from people from all around this universe, you defeated the most evil enemy of most people. You’re perfect..” Leah continued.

“No.. I’m not far from perfect.” He shook his head before he looked down.

“Oh Joon, trust me you are..” Whispering in his ear, Namjoon quickly looked up. “I'm not. You know what makes it perfect?” His eyes suddenly looked so intimidating almost made her gulp.

“What?” Leah asked in confusion at his sudden changed behaviour.

“A queen.." He stated confidently.

"You want to be my queen Leah?” He continued, digging holes into her eyes which were already filled with tears.

And Leah said yes.

Meanwhile Eunseo was sitting on Taehyung’s lap as they were enjoying the beach before them. He caressed her soft lock while she was playing with his other hand, playing with his fingers.

“I can’t believe Namjoon hyung will be the king, I swear he really needs to talk to Leah sooner. They’re been flirting so much before. But not progressing in anything.” Taehyung chuckled, he didn’t know that Namjoon is already in serious talk with her.

Eunseo nodded as she remembered something. “Now, talking about them, It really got me curious..” She slowly looked down to meet his lover's big eyes.

“What?” He mumbled curiously.

“Have you ever felt your heart flutter when you saw my queen? I mean she got my face.. Don't you feel something even just a little bit?” She expressed her curiosity without a doubt. She’s been curious about this since long ago but couldn’t really ask him. 

He almost choked with her question. He looked slightly nervous with her question, it only made her frown. 

“Honestly yes..” He started softly only to get a hit from her.

”Yah, Let me explain first..”

“Fine.” She pouted. 

Taehyung started again. “It was only the first time we met in the cell. I thought she was really you. My byul.. I was so overwhelmed, you know after feeling so broken for years and meeting you again for the first time. It’s just too much.

But when I was locked in the cell with you guarding me, the moment you touched me when I wore that bracelet. I knew you were byul.. And from that moment, I didn’t feel anything whenever I saw your queen. At first it just kind of weird to see your face in her but then I never feel anything else besides thinking that she is just a bratty queen. And you’re that I ever think about.” Taehyung smiled and gave a peck at the last words.

Eunseo giggled, slightly squirming in his embrace. “Did you hate my queen?”

Taehyung shook his head. “I don’t hate her, I just feel so annoyed whenever she makes you do something.” 

“Well she’s my queen..” Eunseo clarified and Taehyung mumbled. “I know.”

Eunseo again asked him, since she is curious with another question she’s been saving in her mind.

“You know it’s kind of stupid. But I just really want to know, do you prefer my face now or before? It’s okay if you like my previous face, which means you think my queen is more beautiful.”

Taehyung raised his eyebrow, his long eyelashes dancing beautifully.

“It’s really stupid question.. You know I don’t care about how you look, you’re just beautiful because you’re you,, so if you’re changing face again I still think you’re so beautiful..” He snorted in disbelief.

“You’re sweet but I want a rasional answer. Like what you prefer.. “ Eunseo continued as she still didn’t get a clear answer.

Actually he really couldn't answer her, it’s kind of a trap question. All the answers would only make him look bad. If he answers he prefers her previous face she would think that he might still like the queen, even for just her face and didn’t like her face now. If he would answer her new face, she would think that he would cheat with a woman with her face now if she ever appeared in the past because he thinks she is more beautiful.

“Okay, then I ask you who’s more handsome, is it me or jungkook?” Instead of answering her, he just threw a question to her.

“Jungkook..” She answered without a second thought.

“W-What..” Taehyung gasped in disbelief. “It’s not a good joke.” He spatted.

“I’m not joking..” She blankly replied. 

Taehyung shook his head furiously. “Okay I'm not gonna forgive you for this just because you're pregnant so don't you dare to pull that card.” He said as he looked away.

“Geez, so childish.” She chuckled. Taehyung still looked away, pouting. Eunseo was only letting him sulking as she just leaned on his broad chest, he didn’t even caressing her hair anymore or rubbing her arm, his hands only laying there, tightening in fist.

“Are you really mad?” She looked up to see how his forehead wrinkled, frowning too much. He didn't react nor say anything

“Are you really really mad?” She asked again. Still got no response. He’s now closing his eyes. She gets up and tries to sit facing him.

“Oh C'mon, you know I love you the most, that's all that matters, no?” She said, softly touching his cheeks. He still didn't react.

“Do you really want me to say it?” She utters in disbelief.

“Fine, you're handsome.. more than Jungkook and the most handsome person that I ever met. You hear that? I won’t repeat it.” She huffed as she looked away. Suddenly Taehyung sat up straight and looked at her.

“Too late, I don't believe you. And besides you really hurt my feelings before.” He talks seriously, his eyes give a stern look.

“I'm sorry I was kidding..” She whispered. At this moment Taehyung couldn’t really pretend anymore, a thin smile was soon attached in his lips.

“Give me something so I can forgive you.” He smirked.

“What? Don't ask anything weird.” Eunseo warned.

“It's pretty normal for me” He smiled mischievously only making her gulp feeling nervous. “What?” 

He got closer and whispered in her ears seductively.

“Give me 4 more kids please.” His deeper voice gave her goosebump to her spine.

“Are you kidding me? This kid is not even born and yet you want another?” She gasped and only received a laugh from him.

“You know I love kids, please let's make at least five or seven so we can play games together.” He begged, his big eyes were shining like a puppy, though she really ignored it.

“Not a chance, Taehyung.”

“Then I will still get mad at you.” He looked away again. Eunseo again sighed in disbelief, she just couldn’t believe how childish her husband was. Eunseo sure, she loves kids as much as Taehyung but she just now is only 4 month pregnant, thinking having another baby is just not in her bucket list.

And she got an idea. So she quickly nodded. “Fine, Fine, Ok.  But you have to answer my question. Do you like my previous face or now?

Taehyung gulped.

Chapter 16 - DIOCH

Namjoon and the rest of the members have already reached the place that has Louis' skeleton attached on the grounds. He had covered the skeleton with sand the first time he found it. and he remembered the spot perfectly. He could feel the aura through the black saber that he’s carrying. Just like he felt when he found the lightning bow.

One fact that he learns, the weapons would give him a signal like a deep aura once they were getting closer to the hidden weapon. It felt like something pulled him to the spot that gave him a strong signal.

Just like how he felt now.

At first he just guessed it, but his prediction turned out to be true.

As he gets closer to the black stone, that is just only a few steps from the skeleton. He feels it.

That's why he quickly broke the black rock with his robotic hand. The black rock soon vanished into dust. 

All the members were watching in awe as soon as they discovered a transparent glass just inside the broken rock. They could see the devil axe sticking on the rock below. 

Namjoon quickly smacks the transparent glass and everyone steps back as the glass was broken into pieces, blowing by the wind.

Namjoon was about to grab the devil axe, a sound of footsteps blaring in that desert. He turned around to his members in alert mode.

"They're here.." Hoseok said as he started glancing around.

"Just pull it out, Namjoon." Suga ordered as he kept his eyes back and forth to Namjoon and the weapon.

Namjoon nodded, and quickly pulled the weapon but it’s a little bit hard, not like before. He had bullets sweat on his forehead as he kept trying to pull out. 

The footsteps are getting closer.

"Fuck, I can't pull it out." He cursed as the axe didn’t even move from the previous place.

"We have to distract them, Jungkook and Hoseok. You have to come with me while Namjoon keeps trying." Suga instructed and they followed him as soon as he started to run to fight, leaving Jimin, Namjoon and Leah.

"Are you okay?" Leah asked as he noticed bullet sweat on his forehead.

"I am okay." Namjoon nodded, panting.

"Hyung, is it that hard?" Jimin worriedly asks and also impatient as he’s afraid that the troops would come to them in seconds.

"Yeah, It's a little bit more." He uses more strength to keep pulling, the two persons beside him only watching as they couldn't do anything besides hoping that he could pull it out sooner. 

And suddenly they heard Jungkook yelling. Not long after that they could see Jungkook stepping back, jumping here and there as thousands of troops ran to him.

"Hyung they’re coming here.. " Jungkook yelled as he was throwing his power dust and wind to push all of them. They were pushed back and some of them fell down. And They saw Suga already pulling out to shoot those troops. And hoseok started to make a shield for Namjoon, Leah and Jimin though they know it'll only last for a short time. 

Jimin and Leah worriedly look back at Namjoon who is still trying to pull the weapon.

"Hyung you can do it.." Jimin kept giving him courage and soon Leah Joins. 

"Yeah, it's just a little bit more.." He panted as he kept pulling the axe.

And finally Namjoon succeeded in pulling the weapons, at the same time, the shield from Hoseok was fading away. Namjoon smiled in relief as he quickly stood straight to turn around, facing thousands of troops who were already just feet away from them.

And then the war started.

A few moments Later Jin was back to Dopere with Taehyung. They could see Hoseok was taking the lightning bow, Jungkook holding the devil Axe, while Namjoon was holding the blacksaber meteor.

When Jin and Taehyung came back, it’s already chaos. Thousands of Dominus troops were attacking all bangtan members, but most of the troops already died, their dead bodies spread all over the ground. The air was covered in dust as Jungkook aggressively pulled out all of his power to attack them. A fire was burning here and there, due to Hoseok trying to burn them to the bone. Some troops were frozen and covered in snow as Jimin tried to make them freeze.

Leah was jumping up and down to dodge the troops who were trying to grab her leg. She was flying higher and higher until they couldn’t touch her again, she pulled her bow and attacked them one by one. Until one of the troops jumped so high he succeeded in grabbing Leah’s leg, making her fall down, hit the ground. The troops were about to hit her but Namjoon quickly punched them, threw them away. Taehyung quickly pulled his shield power and covered Leah who was already standing up, gaining a protest from her. She couldn’t escape.

Namjoon turned around and said to her, “Stay here for now.”

“What? I want to fight.” She yelled but Namjoon only left her. Taehyung was also already running to the troops that started cornering his hyung, suga.

Jungkook was pulling out his power wind and then combining it with Jin power, water. They made a big flood and pushed all the troops with that power and made them throw back. At this time, Jimin froze the water and made them stuck inside, frozen. Hoseok threw his fire to the frozen troops and made them burn as well as suga that started shooting them with a black lightning from his gun, making them burned, turned to ash. They were attacking in very quick motions, they needed to get rid of the troops in hurry before Dominus would send much more.

Until the total of the troops was only a few, They could feel the air start to change, it almost suffocating them.

The sky changed to darker as the wind blew so hard, just like Jungkook powered. They stuck in place as they realized that Dominus finally appeared.

Suddenly a big black circle appeared from the sky as it got closer and closer to them, suddenly revealing a big figure with black cloak. He was so big, eyes so red and very long hair, he had his usual black attire and his face was so pale it’s so many wrinkles and scars. At this moment, Taehyung’s Shield on Leah was disappearing slowly, making her immediately run and get ready to fight again. 

Jungkook quickly pulled out his wind power and threw it at Dominus but it only made him stumble a bit, almost didn’t affect him.

They knew their war just finally began now. All bangtan members were now in position ready to attack.

Dominus was eyeing the blacksaber on Namjoon's hand.

“I see you got my weapons.” He darkly laughed. His voice sends chills to them but they wouldn’t show him they’re afraid of him.

“Yeah, and we will kill you with this.” Namjoon glared, pointed his blacksaber at him.

Dominus laughed as he came closer to them and suddenly he pushed Namjoon with his power, making him throw back and hit the ground, quite hard to make him cough up.

“Let’s see if you can defeat me with those useless weapons.” He smirked.

And then he started to attack J-hope, Suga and Jungkook, who were trying to pull out their power and the weapons towards him, but he was faster only as a result, making them all thrown away. Jimin and Jin were also thrown at the speed of light, they couldn’t even blink.

Leah was about pointing her arrow but Dominus quickly snapped the arrow and it fell. And he also pushed Leah to the ground. Dominus was tying them all with his black power, leaving them struggling to get up. And Taehyung was all alone in the middle of the desert, facing him.

“And now it’s only you, our precious Dioch.” His smile looked so disgusting as Taehyung wanted to spat on his ugly face.

“Where’s your sweet princess? I guess she’s making her way to hell now?” He came closer and closer as he eyed the Dioch who was glaring at him. Taehyung was slightly shocked at the news, he knew he just wanted to make him go insane. But he couldn’t help but feel so worried all of sudden, afraid that his words were true.

“Fuck you! You think you can kill her?” Taehyung spat.

Dominus laughed. “Sure I could, you probably would regret didn’t ever seeing her precious face..  when she was losing her breath.” He darkly whispered. 

He wouldn’t believe him but a part of him was starting to get scared.

“You think I believe you?!” He glared.

He’s lying Tae, he provoked you. Don’t fall for him.

Jimin quickly mind-link him, trying to call him down.

“It doesn't matter if you won’t believe me. She’s in hell already.” He said with a confident smile. 

“FUCK YOU!” Taehyung was provoked, and then Taehyung snapped, he gathered all his power, thunder was blaring, and everyone closed their ears but managed to stand. Finally Namjoon and Jungkook could escape from the black power that Dominus threw. Followed by Jin, Suga and Hoseok. Jimin and Leah still struggle to get out.

Taehyung was throwing all his power to Dominus and Dominus quickly pulled out his power too and they were throwing each other's powers.

Even Taehyung was the most powerful in bangtan but Dominus is much stronger than him so he wouldn’t survive that’s why Jungkook, Namjoon, Jin, Hoseok and Suga started to gather their power and combine to attack him. Dominus power was about to hit Taehyung, closing the distance but with help from their friend power, dominus power was pushed back again.

Jungkook was pulling out his wind and dust with his right hand, and his left hand was holding the devil Axe, and Hoseok was pulling his fire and his right hand was holding the lighting bow, meanwhile namjoon was holding the blacksaber and gathering all its power and combining with taehyung’s, helping him to attack Dominus.

Suga and Jin also attacked him from the other side, as well as Leah who’s pointing her arrow at his eyes even though she still gets tied with his power, laying on the ground. Dominus was quick to notice that’s why he succeeded in avoiding their attack and managed to throw Leah’s arrow, leaving her with empty hands. Their power seemed like it couldn't do much since dominus always succeeded in dodging it.

This time Taehyung realized that they needed to get close. He’s too powerful and they need to attack him on the right spot. The ones who are holding the weapons should get close and attack his vitality.

This time Taehyung whispered at Hoseok.

“Leave and get close to him, attack his eyes.” 

“And you attacked his hand.” He whispered to Jungkook.

“You, hyung attacked his heart.” he whispered to Namjoon at last.

“I will count to three and you have to move in quickly.”

“But Tae, you wouldn’t survive if we let go, Suga and Jin couldn’t hold his power too much to help you.”

“It’s okay, I will hold it. Just do it quickly.” Taehyung whispered in a harsh tone, they just need to do it quickly. Because he’s getting stronger and they’re only getting weaker.

They have no choice and that’s why when Taehyung started to count. Jungkook, Hoseok, and Namjoon moved fast, attacked part of his body, Taehyung had been told.

Dominus was noticing their plan so he pulled out another power to Taehyung but at the same time, Hoseok managed to hit his eyes with the lighting bow, and Jungkook succeed cutting his hand with the devil axe and Namjoon also succeed in hitting on his chest, right on his heart. 

Dominus quickly stumbled down as he covered his bloody eyes with his broken hand. He was stepping backs before finally he fell down, making the ground shake so much.

At the same time, Taehyung was throwing Jin and Suga aside so he could take the hit from Dominus all alone, soon he was thrown away and hit a big rock, passing out.

“Nooo, Taehyung!” Jimin, who could only watch the whole time, quickly tried to get up. The tie from Dominus power slowly fading away. He rushed to his friend as he could hear Namjoon, Jungkook and Hoseok keep attacking Dominus with Suga and Jin still trying to get up, they felt like their bones cracked, but succeeded in getting up, rushed to Jimin and Taehyung.

Leah finally could get up too and followed Jin and Suga.

Meanwhile, Namjoon was ripping his heart and pulling it out from its place and destroying it with his robotic hand. At this time Jungkook crushed his dead body with a big stone he created from the dust and Hoseok burned his body, turning him into ashes.

He was dead.

And this time, everyone was relieved and could breathe again, but it only lasted for a second because when they noticed Jimin was sobbing in the distance It’s like the sky just fell all over again, or much worse when they saw Taehyung was lying unconsciously in Jimin’s embrace. Leah, Jin and Suga on their side, crying too.

They rushed at him and felt their heart stop as they heard Jimin’s words.

“He isn’t breathing…” He sniffed, eyes full of tears.

******************

Meanwhile, on the other side, Eunseo was sitting next to the window, as she noticed that the shield was suddenly fading slowly. She was surprised and stood up to get out of the house to make sure that the shield she saw was really broken.

She raised her hand to touch it and it really disappeared.

“Tae..” She whispered in shock, already feeling that her heart was being ripped.

“NOOOOO!!!!” She cried in agony, she felt her world crumble as she slumped down on her knees. 

She cried and cried, muttering. “Please don’t leave me.. Taehyung.”

She didn’t remember how much and how long she was laying on the bed, crying in those quiet places. She kept sobbing until no tears were left to cry. Her eyes were swollen, her lips getting dry and her face getting pale. She couldn’t get up, chose not to, as she kept waiting for Taehyung to take her back. 

Despite somewhere in her mind she knew he couldn’t.

She felt a presence near. Despite how weak and broken she was. She quickly turned around.

It was Jin.. He stood just next to the opened door, she didn’t realize when he opened it, nor realized that maybe she didn’t even close the door.

“You have to come with me, Seo.” He whispered and gave her a broken smile, only clenching her broken heart more than ever.  Despite how severe his injury is, he is still fulfilling his promise to Taehyung to pick her up.

“Please tell he’s alright. He just sent you to take me because he had urgent matters?” She bitterly chuckled. And Jin couldn’t even answer her.

Chapter 15 - DIOCH

A few hours later, they arrived at Dopere. As soon as their ship landed on Dopere, they came out from the ship, Taehyung was holding Eunseo’s hand tightly, staying alert as he threw his eyes here and there to make sure the surrounding was safe. Until suddenly, Eunseo was stumbling as she felt her wound stung like she'd been hit with electricity. It made Taehyung jolt in his step as well as Jungkook and Hoseok who were walking behind him.

“What’s wrong?” Taehyung worriedly asked, eyes already back and forth on her eyes and her wounds.

“It stings.” She was wincing in pain, gripping on his arm tightly. He was so worried, he took her hand and let her grip on it too tight.

“They’re here..”  Namjoon said.

All the members quickly gather, circling Eunseo and Taehyung as their eyes try to find their hidden enemies.

“Does it hurt so much?” Taehyung asked as he felt his heartbeat getting faster.

Seeing how Taehyung and his friends became so protective and worried, she quickly stood on her feet, biting her lips, trying to bear the pain as she looked at Taehyung who was gently looking at her eyes.

“No, I’m okay now.”

Taehyung doesn’t believe even a slightest bit because her face was getting pale, she had a bullet sweat on her forehead and the wound it’s getting purple again. Silently he grabbed her arm to check her pulse, it was beating too fast. He felt his heart stop beating.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah.."

Taehyung couldn’t really believe her, so he glanced at Jin who had already set his eyes on him, he mouthed “wait” and no one noticed it except Taehyung.

"How the hell do they know we are here.” Namjoon cursed. “Eunseo, is it really painful?” Namjoon asked her in a rather soft tone. 

“Not anymore.” She lied. 

“You know if the pain is so painful it means they’re getting closer.” Jimin said, making everyone's attention fall on him. Something clicked in her mind as soon as she heard Jimin. 

"Wait. If I feel pain, it means they're closer. Then..”

“What? Why?” Taehyung impatiently asked, getting worried more and more. 

“I felt the pain in the river.. It meant his troop was there? Noo.." She almost asked this question to everyone. Glancing at her lover and to all members who were watching her the whole time.

"Shit, they're tracking us.." Namjoon cursed. “Where could it be?” His eyes wander here and there to find the tracker.

"How, where do they stick the tracker?" Suga frowned, helping Namjoon to find the tracker too, just like everyone else.

"Leah was losing one of her arrows in the Riviera." Jimin quickly stated as he remembered the unusual accident they had on that Planet. 

Leah quickly pulled out her arrow to check.

"It's here." She gasped, noticing a black dot was attached on her arrow. Namjoon quickly grabbed the tracker and destroyed it with his robotic hand. 

"Damn, we have to move fast. Eunseo are you sure you're okay?" Namjoon was again asking Eunseo.

Eunseo nodded as they started to walk again. Taehyung was back glancing at Jin now and then, Jin still shaking his head so he’s back focusing on Eunseo again, holding her waist gently to guide her walk even though she still can walk perfectly.

"How could they have followed us to the Riviera?" Leah asked as they continued to walk.

"Now I'm sure the one who destroyed our ship is not an orc. But them..” Jin said as he glanced at Namjoon.

“Magnet flakes..” Namjoon mumbled, and Jin quickly nodded.

“Right, it’s magnet flakes, they poured the magnet flakes all over the area in Moa, when green orcs were chasing us. We stepped on it so they could track our movement from their monitor.” Jin spoke out his analysis. 

“Magnet flakes?” Leah and Eunseo, who had never heard about it, glanced at Jin to question him.

“Yeah, it’s their famous method to track their opponents. they don't last long though. It could be removed once we stepped on glass or something that made them stick off." Namjoon answered for them.

"So that's why he sent another troop to Riviera to put the tracker?” Eunseo questioned as she realized that Riviera was mostly covered in sand. Taehyung nodded from her side.

"I think our movement on the Jackson planet couldn't be tracked by them since their planet is covered mostly in wood and glass." Hoseok said. 

"Right. They could only track us until Riviera since it was full of sand." Jin sighed.

"I am sorry I didn't know.” Leah suddenly softly said, feeling guilty that she couldn’t notice the tracker.

"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault. This is not the time to blame anyone. We have to get ready, fight together. And stronger." Namjoon quickly said as he took steps closer to her.

Until Eunseo felt her wound get stings again, it’s worse than before. She let out a whimper and Taehyung noticed it immediately.

“Are you hurt again?” He held her shoulder and watched her pale face.

Everyone secretly looked at her wound. All attention is on her.

“No, I’m fine. Let’s keep going..” She tried to ensure Taehyung and her friends, forced to smile despite how terribly painful her wound was. Taehyung was shaking his head at his friends, holding Eunseo from moving.

“The wound is purple again.” Leah was voicing out what everyone's thinking. 

“Jimin, please heal her again.” Taehyung calmly said, deep down he was so panicked, worried and terrified. This is it, this is the time. She needs to heal at least, to lessen the pain before he could do the next plan.

Jimin was trying to say that he couldn’t do that. But, to make her wound slightly fade and lessen the pain, he could. He knew Taehyung was actually asking only to lessen the pain.  That's why he started to kneel down before her and started to use his magic hand. 

Eunseo was gasping for air as soon as Jimin started to heal her, not getting better instead she felt worse. It’s like she felt a thousand needles piercing her skin. It hurts so bad.

“Arghh...” She accidentally let out a whimper and grabbed Taehyung clothes as tight as possible, while Jimin’s hand stopped in the middle of the air as he glanced at Taehyung in wide eyes, seeing how the healing from Jimin didn’t affect her at all.

“Fuck they’re getting closer.” Taehyung cursed and everyone stayed alert, glancing at their surroundings. Taehyung quickly glanced at Jin who nodded in reply. Taehyung pulled her in his arms as he saw Jin who rushed to put his arms to him and Eunseo, holding them tight and the next seconds, they’re dissapear. 

“We have to run and stick together, we better quickly find the last weapon. They’re sending so many troops.” Namjoon said as he noticed Eunseo who was suddenly feeling so much pain before and also the air felt suffocated, it means they’re getting closer and the numbers are a lot.

“Follow me, we check from where Louis' dead body is.” He quickly ran followed by his fellow member, without realizing that he grabbed Leah’s hand on the way.

**********************************

In the blink of an eye, Jin, Taehyung and Eunseo reached the planet called Savannah. This all was planned by Jin. 

Flashback

Taehyung was crunched down in the storage room as Jimin and Jungkook were sitting next to him, accompanying him, facing his breakdown.

Tae, you okay?

Suddenly Jin’s voice rings in his head.

Yeah.

He weakly replied.

I have a plan. We should take Eunseo somewhere safe. I know a place.

Taehyung was suddenly in full alert, focusing on what’s his hyung plan. 

Where is it hyung? Are you sure it’s a safe place?

Jimin and Jungkook were asking what happened, that made him suddenly jolt in his sitting posture. Taehyung told them that Jin was communicating with him and soon they watched how his friend, frowning, focused on hearing Jin’s voice.

Yeah, it’s far from Dominus territory. It’s a place where it should be our first basecamp, Namjoon and Suga knew it. We built a home and nobody was living there. It’s an inhabited planet, just like Riviera.

Are you sure it’s safe?

100% 

Taehyung didn’t answer for a while, thinking. Could he leave her all alone in the place he didn’t know? And what if something happened, what’s gonna happen to her? So he voiced his worry to Jin, who’s been waiting for him to answer.

But hyung what if something happened to us. I mean If I left her there, how is she gonna come back to her hometown? Isn’t it too far?

Jin answered almost immediately. 

We have a ship there. It’s still working. I checked it last time. It’s still fine. Besides, you can take her back once we kill him. He couldn’t kill us Tae, not with the power and the weapons we have. 

But still, What if he killed me, any of us or worse all of us.

No Taehyung, He couldn’t defeat all of us... trust me. He will die in the end for sure. The ones that survive will take her back. We promised you that. I’ve been talking with Namjoon about this. He agreed. 

I don’t know hyung. Leaving her all alone in that unfamiliar place. It scares me.

I promised you nothing will happen to her. Dominus and his troops can’t go there. It’s far from their territory. His power would attack Himself if he came out from their territory. Unless he wanted to kill himself. I think it’s the best solution for now. It’s for her safety. We couldn’t take her to the war, you know it might kill her, right?

The last question really made him whimper, he knew Jin hyung is right, and he doesn’t want to lose her ever again.

I know hyung.. I know..

Jimin and Jungkook, who were watching him the whole time, came to his side. Asking him with their eyes if he was alright. Taehyung only gave them a nod.

Suddenly Jin’s next words make him widen his eyes. 

You didn’t plan to back out from this war, did you?

Hearing how disappointed Jin’s voice was, Taehyung was biting his lips, feeling so guilty for ever thinking of that plan.

You know that the decision is in yourself, right? I just gave you a solution, we won’t push you into anything. 

He could feel how sincere his hyung said it, and it only worsened his guilt.

I won’t.. I won’t back out from this war. Thank you hyung.. Please help me.. Help me to take her to that place.

END OF FLASHBACK

Taehyung slowly released Eunseo from his embrace, turning her around. There’s a big house just behind her, a beautiful garden on the right side and the whole ground is covered with green grass. 

“I’m sorry Seo..” He softly said as he looked how confused Eunseo was, he really wanted to cry. At this moment, Jin quietly stepped back, to give time for the couple to talk.

“Why are we here?” She glanced at her surroundings, before she looked at him again.

“It’s savannah, it’s the safest place we could ever find for you Seo.” Taehyung said calmly, closing his eyes, so the tears wouldn’t fall.

“What do you mean? Why are you bringing me here Tae?” Eunseo frowned, gripping his arms.

“I’m sorry but I need to leave you here for a while.” He opened his eyes and gave her a sad smile.

“Noo...” Eunseo quickly shook her head, suddenly clutching on his body so tight, afraid that if she didn't, he would just leave her. But Taehyung was too quick to push her, it pained him so much, but he needed to do this.

“I’m sorry..” Suddenly Taehyung took steps back and slowly pulled out his power to shield the place for Eunseo to hide. The big shield started to cover the house and a big garden. Eunseo looked so hurt and her eyes turned to brim in tears.

“What the hell are you doing?? Why are you doing this Tae? How could you..” She cried out desperately while trying to get out from the shield but she couldn't. It felt like there were thick glasses separating them now. Taehyung is already crying.

“This is only temporary. When I lose power, this will break. You’ll be free..” He choked up. 

“I don’t want this.. Please let me go Tae.. don’t leave me here. And what do you mean you will lose power? Are you giving up?” She cried out, her eyes already stained with tears, if only the shield was nowhere before them, he would wipe it off for her. Even though he couldn’t touch her due to his thick shield. Only imagining touching her face made him burst into tears.

“I’m sorry eunseo, I do this for you.” Taehyung weakly answered.

“No.. you do this for yourself.” She yelled, her tears didn’t want to stop so she harshly wiped it off with the back of her hands. “Fuck you’re so selfish Tae, you didn’t even tell me.” She sobbed.

Taehyung's heart clenched in such a painful way, He promised he would never leave her yet at this moment, he would leave her in seconds. But he’s just scared. “I don’t want to lose you..” He cried.

And then She snapped. “You are afraid to lose me. You never think about me. What if I lose you?! Do you think I'll be okay? You promised, you promised we’re on this together, why the hell you take me here Taehyung? And you didn’t even ask for my consent! You’re terrible.” She whispered the last words yet he could hear it clearly.

“Please don’t say that..” He quickly shook his head. “I’m sorry it’s for the best, I can’t watch you getting hurt. Didn’t you feel it? How painful your wound was.. You tried to hide it from me, but I know.. I know how painful it was.” He remembered how the bruise turned to purple again, and how her face changed color to pale, she was bearing all the pain. He couldn’t stand it to watch her suffer. That’s why he needed to bring her to this place sooner.

“NO, it’s nothing, I can bear it. Please don’t do this Tae...” She stubbornly ignored the fact that the pain was totally hurt so much.

“You can’t. It’s only his troops and it’s maybe just a few.. But once dominus himself showed up. You might die, Eunseo, I won’t let you die. Not again..” He knew she was lying.

“How could you do this?” She just lost her energy, she felt drained out, and she knew whatever she’s saying, it won’t convince him. He won’t change his mind.

“It’s hard for me too, but I don’t have a choice. It’s for the best.” He took a step closer to the shield, putting his hands on it. “I’m so sorry.”

“I hate you..” She mouthed him and it broke his heart so much.

“Please don’t say that. I don’t want you to hate me in my last moment with..” He gulped down all the pain, and couldn't really continue what he would say as the woman before him quickly snapped.

“Don’t you dare to say that!! You.. You have to come back here no matter what. Y-You’ll have to open this cage yourself. I don’t want this cage to break itself. You have to come back here..” She threatened him, finally giving up to just let her go. Thinking that he would be dying pained her so much. So she just needs to make sure he will fight better and come back to her.

“Promise me, you have to take me back.” She sobbed.

“I will. Please don’t cry.. You know I can’t see you crying..” Taehyung gave her a sad smile, he caressed the glass right on her stain face, hoping he could wipe her face, though in fact he couldn’t.

Jin called him, it’s time to come back and Taehyung let his hand go to her face again slowly. 

“I promise I will let you free after this war ends.” He said, didn’t even take a step back even though Jin was already calling his name again and again. He isn’t ready to leave her. 

“You have to come back Tae, promise me..” 

Taehyung only nodded. “I love you..” And Eunseo only stayed still, and didn't say anything back. He didn’t even disappoint because he deserved it.  With that last sentence he turned around and left her.

Chapter 14 - DIOCH

After so much talk with Namjoon, Namjoon finally decided to tell his members with Taehyung permission of course. They need to solve this matter together eventually.

"W-What's wrong?" Hoseok's big eyes filled with concern as soon as he saw the two came out looked so gloomy.

Jimin and Jungkook gulping, getting nervous and worried, the duo feeling so sad seeing how broken Taehyung looked. They guess it could be very serious, like they assumed.

"Eunseo.. Dominus set her as his target." Namjoon said in a soft tone, in hope Eunseo couldn’t hear them. Everyone was quickly turned to their leader in confusion and shock, even Suga and Jin also quickly turned their attention to the duo.

"Is it Dominus?" Jimin quickly said in disbelief. Meanwhile Jungkook only bit his lips as if he already predicted. But he couldn’t say anything back then to  Taehyung, because he was scared to hurt him.

"What do you mean?? W-What happened?" Hoseok who was clueless, asking in confusion and so shocked.

"She got cursed by one of his troops when we were in moa. We fought her and that's when she threw the black circle. I had no idea it was a curse, the black ring." Taehyung explained weakly.

"The black ring? She got the black ring?" Hoseok gasped.

"What do you mean? What is the black ring?" Leah couldn't hide her curiosity even more since she had no single idea about what they’re talking about.

"The black ring is the famous curse, it belongs to Dominus." Namjoon answered.

“What? H-How does the curse work?" She asked again, she didn’t know anything about the curse.

"The curse will be a symbol of the black ring attached with our body and it will be painful if Dominus Troops is close to us, because they're the ones who control it. Just like magnet and iron, they will get stronger as they get closer, same thing like this curse. The closer they are, the more powerful they are and the more painful we get." Jimin explained. 

"He often used it on his biggest enemy to take revenge and torturing them, before he killed them.” Jimin mumbles this sentence without no one notices it except for Jin who has sensitive ears.

“It's like he's putting her as a hostage." Namjoon said it.

"It seems Dominus is trying to stop us from fighting with him." Jimin nodded in agreement.

“Why? Out of all people, why does it have to be her..” Jungkook spoke up what’s everyone's thinking. They quickly turned to Taehyung who was on the verge of tears.

Because it's Laurie, that fucking cunt, she wanted me to back out. Taehyung bit his lips hard, trying not to break down in front of everyone.

“Is there any other way to stop his curse?” Leah glanced hopefully at everyone in hope there's really a way to stop it.

“No, unless we killed him.” Namjoon answered in a cold demeanor, the urge to kill Dominus is 7 times stronger than before.

“Did we need to stop this journey for a while?” Jin asked softly, he worried about taehyung and if everyone wanted to stop, he would surely find a safe planet to land.

"No, we have to keep going..” Suddenly a voice interrupted their little meeting and it made everyone turn their head to the woman who’s standing beside the door in shock.

Taehyung's eyes wide as he saw her suddenly coming out from the room.

"Eunseo…"

Taehyung was pulling her into the bedroom, closing the door gently as he looked at how disappointed Eunseo was.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She bit her lips, a tear slipped out in the corner of her eyes. She cried not because she was scared but because Taehyung would hide something so serious like this. 

"Eunseo, Listen.. I.." He stuttered, and didn't know how to start.

"Were you planning to keep this secret until I get killed?" Eunseo couldn’t help but pull the card he hates the most. He almost snapped, his eyes already widened in disbelief. If only he didn’t see how disappointed she looked he could grab her, forcing her to listen again and again how he won’t let her die but in the end he only let out a weak whimper.

"I won't let you get killed.. Never.. so please don't say that." He touched her face, softly caressing her wet cheeks. Eunseo just looked away, her tears kept coming down. It hurts his already bleeding heart. He gulped down all the pain before he wiped her tears and continued saying.

"Listen, I really wanted to tell you. I swear. But I need to figure out first how to deal with this situation. And honestly I don't know what to do right now." 

He breathed out for a while.

"I want to protect you, Eunseo. That's why I need time. I can't tell you right now because I’m still figuring out..." His deep voice was shaky as well as his thumbs that kept caressing her face.

“Yet, you tell everyone.” Eunseo suddenly looked at him, a look of betrayal and disappointed flash on her teary eyes. It only made him look down, letting out a tear slip out from his eyes.

“Because I couldn’t find any solution. I need their help. I’m so sorry.” He whispered brokenly. Eunseo could feel her chest being stabbed, seeing how the man she loves is breaking down in front of her. But the disappointment that Taehyung wouldn’t tell her the first time, makes her want to keep pressing him more so that he should at least tell her.

“I don’t know Taehyung. I trust you. I thought we would always fix everything together. You promised not to hide anything from me. You should tell me. If I didn’t overheard what you were talking about. You probably wouldn’t tell me anything.”

Taehyung quickly looked, his face already stained with tears, he answered without a doubt “I will..”

“When?”

“Until.. I could fix this.” He answered unsurely, Eunseo noticed this so she kept asking, raising her eyebrow. “And When is that?”

Taehyung kept his mouth shut for a while, he actually had no idea how could he tell her without giving her any hope that she’ll be alright.

Eunseo sighed knowing Taehyung couldn’t answer her so she continued. “It won't get fixed..” She mutters softly. “Unless we have to give it a try.”

Taehyung got an alert as he heard her words, knowing what she’s thinking.

"No.." He quickly refused, firmly shaking his head.“No, Eunseo I don’t like whatever you're thinking right now.” 

Eunseo quickly explained."Tae, it's 50-50 for me if I could take that pain which I definitely could and beside you have power to protect me from their attacks. You and Hoseok will secure me from them. We could make this situation to our benefit, I will attract their troops and pull them towards me and you could attack them in seconds."

"Are you crazy? It's your life Eunseo! We will not take you as bait. I won’t let you put your life at stake! Even if we could shield you from their attack if Dominus himself showed up, I couldn’t guarantee that the shield would be kept safe, he would kill you. He’s too powerful Eunseo, that’s why we need the weapons to defeat him. I don’t want to even think about this stupid idea." Taehyung raised his voice, his deep voice echoing in the bedroom. 

"But it's the only way!" She yelled back.

"No.. there'll be another way." Taehyung furiously shook his head, he just couldn’t believe she could have such an insane idea.

"What? What's the other way?” She barked again.

She was shutting up his mouth instantly, she smiled pathetically, knowing he couldn’t answer her question. She knew it’s only the way, and he should think about it.

Taehyung was shutting mouth for seconds before he said. “I’m backing out from this war.” He's always thinking about this impossible idea since this is what that cunt, Laurie wanted, he thought if it’s the only thing that he could do to save her, he would do it. He knew once he let out this plan, Eunseo would be mad at him just like her reaction now.

“That’s ridiculous Taehyung! Try me! I will hate you forever if you ever back out from this war.” She raised her voices, eyes shaken in hatred and furious.

“I’m serious Taehyung. I will hate you if you ever do that..” She emphatically stated loud and clear. 

Taehyung quickly pulled her into his embrace and kissed her shoulder multiple times, feeling so hopeless and guilty for letting her suffer like this.   

“I’m sorry.. I will find another way. But I don’t want to risk your life. Just let me think.. I’ll find a way. You don’t have to worry. Please trust me..” He begged, tightening his embrace. 

Eunseo closed her eyes and let out a soft whisper. “We have no other solutions. It’s either I’m following you into the war and doing all the plans I said or maybe I should just go back to the moon.” 

“No, It’s dangerous. They will come to you and hurt you and I couldn’t save you from them.. I..” He quickly looked at her, hands on her face, trying to look at her eyes.

She sighed, feeling so tired as this debate wouldn't be nearing the finish line, not when everything she said were being rejected by him who doesn’t even think about it for a second.

“I don’t know Tae, I’m tired.." And she took a step back and turned around, her tears about to fall again and she won’t make him see it.

“Seo..”

“I want to be alone..” She whispered desperately, hoping he would leave her sooner.

“But Seo, we still have to talk..” He whispered back.

“Please..”

Hearing how desperate she was to make him leave, he sighed knowing he couldn’t convince her to make him stay and maybe she really needed time alone. 

Once she heard the door open and close. She lay down on her bed as her tears kept streaming down like a waterfall.

******************

Taehyung was sitting in the storage room. He raked his hair in frustration. He didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to see Eunseo getting hurt, but the closer they will face their war, the sooner he will see Eunseo’s hurting. He cried at those thoughts.

If only he could take the curse, he would without second thought. The door suddenly opened, revealing Jimin and Jungkook. They gave him a thin smile before they took a seat beside him, putting him in the middle.

“I know it’s hard Tae, but we won’t let them hurt her.” Jimin said the words that are most cliche at the moment like this, he even felt bad as soon as he said that.

“How, jimin? How? You can’t stop them from hurting her.” Taehyung chuckled pathetically. 

“I know.. I’m sorry.. But we are here for you.” Jimin softly said.

“Fuck, I don’t know what to do. I’m useless, it’s my fault to take her with me.” Taehyung frustratedly yells out, raking his already messy hair. 

“It’s not your fault hyung. Stop blaming yourself.” Jungkook said from his side.

“You have to be strong Tae, being all weak like this won’t solve anything. And at this time the important thing is you have to be by her side, comfort her.” Jimin also encourages him, giving him a side hug.

“She kicked me away...” He muttered, letting out a big sigh.

“She told me that she should just go with us and willing to be a bait as she takes the pain so she could gather his troops for us to attack. How stupid is that?” He driedly laughed as he looked at his friends who were only watching him in worry.

“She thought my shield power and Hoseok hyung could protect her from their attack. She didn’t know if Dominus was there she would die in a second.” He said again.

“You have to understand her, if I was her, I also didn’t have any choice but to think of that plan.” Jungkook said softly.

“I know.. I just don’t know what to do. Even taking her home wouldn’t make her safe.” He couldn’t bear this pain again as he let out a sob, his hand covering his reddened face as he continued sobbing. His friend quickly embraces him as they try to not break down too, seeing their dear friend crying like a broken child. 

“We’re here for you Tae.” That's only the words Jimin could say at this moment as he kept holding his head on his chest gently while Jungkook couldn’t stop from biting his lips to hold his tears, while caressing his hair.

After an hour and half, Taehyung knocked on the door, but didn’t hear an answer. He kept opening the door though and seeing she was still laying on the bed, her back facing him. He sat on the bed next to her figure, slowly caressing her shoulder to get her attention. She didn’t move an inch.

“I’m sorry..” He whispered. His deep voice almost made her flinch but still, she didn’t answer. And Taehyung knew for sure she wasn’t sleeping.

“Are you still mad at me?” 

Suddenly she turned around, facing him, frowning. “I’m not mad tae, I’m disappointed.” 

“I know, I’m so sorry..” He sadly smiled.

“It’s just.. I’m so scared... I don’t know what to do.. I’m scared to lose you again. All I want is to protect you and make you happy and yet I failed and let you’re in danger.. I have no guts to say this cruel reality to you, I’m sorry...”

His words just made her heart clenched, she quickly sat up and pulled him by his neck and clinging to his body like her life depended on it. Her eyes were already full of tears.

“I’m sorry.. I shouldn't have pushed you away like that, I know you're just worrying about me..I’m sorry..” She cried on his chest.

“It’s okay.. Please stop crying. I promise I’ll protect you. You just have to trust me..” He soothingly rubbed her back, calming her down despite how much he wanted to cry too.

“I promise I won’t let you feel any pain.” 

She really wanted to ask him ‘how’ since she got the curse and obviously couldn’t get it off. She wonders if he ever considered her idea to shield her with hoseok’s and his power? She was curious how he’s so confident to protect her, since he was getting so scared an hour ago. But she didn’t want to ruin anything so she just gulped down all her curiosity, and trusted him.

Taehyung was pulling her closer and putting his chin on top of her hair, kissing on top of her head as if he’s convincing her that they'll be alright.

“I promise we’re on this together.”

She heard him saying.

Chapter 13 - DIOCH

Eunseo sighed as she walked back to the wooded chair where Jimin and Jungkook sat, they were watching her in question.

"Where are they going?" Jimin asked as Eunseo took a seat next to Jungkook with Jimin opposite them.

"My queen lost one of her arrows. And Taehyung was helping her to find it."

She sighed.

"How could she lose it?" Jungkook curiously asked, paying all attention to her.

"I don't know, she thought she dropped it near the river or on the way yesterday. She had no idea." She sighed again, catching both guys' attention.

"Don't worry, Taehyung hyung might find it. He has sharp eyes."

She nodded as she glanced at the spot where they disappeared, she didn't realize she had a distress look and let out a really long sigh.

"You're not jealous, are you?" Jimin blurted out and made her cough almost immediately.

"W-What?! Wait What? Why should I? Why.. I mean she's my queen. I would never think..."

"Okay, relax! I was kidding." 

She let out a sigh of relief, his words stuck in her mind. What the hell… Am I jealous? No way she was over this long ago. She’s just worried.

She pulled up her sleeve and long pants, suddenly feeling hot.

"Noona, what happened with your leg?!" The youngest spats in shock. Jimin's eyes almost instantly followed jungkook's gaze. 

"Oh hell, you really have a big bruise there." Jimin's words make her quickly look down and find a really big bruise on her right leg. It looked so horrible, in deep purple.

Her eyes trembled in confusion and fear. 

Is it because she bumped into the rock in the river yesterday? But why did her bruise look horrible? She wondered.

"What happened Noona? Did you hit something?" Jungkook worriedly asked as his fingers came closer to touch her bruise. Once he made contact with her bruise, she slightly winched. 

"I don't know. I just saw it now. But I think I hit something in the river yesterday. It might be rock or something." She actually wasn't sure what hit her yesterday. She just assumed it was rock.

"Pull up your pants. Let me see it." Jimin ordered in concern. 

"Raise your feet and put it on this." Jimin  continued and slowly helped her to put her leg on the wood before them.

"Does it hurt?" Jungkook asked in worry when he saw Jimin pull her leg. 

"Noo.. I guess it's ok if you didn't touch it. It slightly stung when you touched it." She replied honestly. They became so serious it only made her more terrified but she tried to hide it, and didn't want to make them more worried.

"Are you really sure it's a rock that hit you? This looks so bad." Jungkook asked again.

"I actually had no idea. I think I just bump into something, it felt like a rock. I'm not really sure. It did feel stingy and I don't know if the bruise would be this bad." 

"Let me try to heal you.." Jimin softly said, carefully touch her leg.

"Okay.."

"Relax noona, take a deep breath." Jungkook soothed her, who looked so scared. She nodded and Jimin started to put his hand above the bruise and did the healing.

Eunseo felt her leg getting cold. They were silently watching the purple bruise slowly turning brighter and brighter, it made a thin smile creep out on their lips.

For about 5 minutes, Jimin tended to heal her wound until the bruise changed color from purple to blue. But the moment the bruise turned to blue, it couldn't fade anymore. A sweat started to form on his forehead, as his brow narrowed on the unchanged bruise. 

Jungkook and Eunseo frowned but didn't say anything, scared that they would disturb his concentration, until the next minutes, Jimin took a deep sigh and put down his hands.

"I don't think I can heal it anymore. Does it still hurt?" Jimin gently touched the bruise.

Eunseo does feel a little bit stingy but it was much less painful than before.

"Better than before." She smiled.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why it won't work. But I promise I will help you until it heals." Jimin said softly, his face smeared with guilt.

"It's okay Jimin, Thank you tho for healing this. It was much better." Eunseo smiled and gave a squeeze on his hand that had been healing her before.

Jimin only smiled half-heartedly, he wished she didn't notice his worries in his eyes, guess he's right as he saw Eunseo just looking down, studying her bruises.

This moment he glanced at Jungkook who was already looking at him, noticing something was odd since he saw the bruise. Jimin nodded as he gave Jungkook a code, and he replied with a slight nod.

They knew something wasn't right and Jimin needed to tell Taehyung as soon as possible. So, he sent him a message immediately to Taehyung through a mind link.

Did you find the arrow? Where are you? I need to tell you something and hurry back here.

In a second Taehyung replied.

Yeah, still near the river, we are heading back. Is something wrong?

Promise me, you will be calm. Don't panic.

Did something happen to Eunseo? 

Tae..

Damnit Jimin, just fucking tell me! I'm on my way..

No, wait! I told you not to panic. I'll tell you but please stay calm because I don't want to make Eunseo suspicious because you will tell her yourself.

What the fuck happened Jimin? Just spill it! I'm calm. Shit I'm trying!

She had a bruise on her leg Tae, it's pretty bad. She told me she hit a rock yesterday in the river. But I don't think it was from a rock. I'm so sure it was a curse or something because hell I couldn't heal her. I couldn't make it fade away. You have to see it, maybe you could see what kind of curse is that.

I'm on my way.

Remember tae, please be calm.

And after that Taehyung didn't reply anymore.

"Did you tell Taehyung about this? I mean you were hurt yesterday." Jimin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence around them as Jungkook and Eunseo didn’t have a conversation when he was mindlinking with Taehyung. Jungkook quickly set his eyes on Eunseo.

"No.." She shortly answered, feeling guilt since she just broke her promises. But she didn’t know his leg would have this horrible bruise.

"You have to tell him. He might be disappointed if you hide this from him." Jimin softly said, but his words only stab her hurting heart more. 

"I know, I will. I just don't know if it will turn out this bad." She answered honestly. If she knew it would turn out like this, she definitely would tell him. 

"You sure it didn't hurt more right?" Jimin asked again, he’s so hopeless right now that he couldn’t tell her anything.

She nodded.

"Let me know if you feel any pain again." Jimin smiled painfully. And Jungkook couldn’t help but feel his heart being clenched. 

In the next minutes, Taehyung was coming back. His face was cold and blank, meanwhile Leah was panting like she's been running. Eunseo wondered what happened back there. She wanted to ask but she remembered she had to tell Taehyung other things. She rushed to them.

"Did you find it?" Eunseo asked as they got closer. 

"Yeah we did, it's near the riverside. I was right, it dropped once I put the bag on the ground." Leah answered in her tired voice. 

"That's a relief, you might lose its power if your arrow is not full." She mumbled only Leah to hear.

"Right.” And she giggled. 

Eunseo felt like Taehyung was still watching her and so she looked up at him, who had a distraught look. Leah soon noticed the atmosphere so she quickly left not before she gratefully thanked him which replied with only a simple nod.

"Are you okay?" Taehyung asked as soon as Leah left. This question seems like it has two reasons, one because she looked uncomfortable since they're back. And two because he definitely wanted to know if the bruise did nothing to her body.

"Actually, I really wanted to tell you something." Eunseo hesitantly said.

Taehyung was breathing in relief as he heard her words he's been waiting for.

"Wanna go somewhere?"

She nodded, and saw him giving his hand to take. She took it and he pulled her to his side gently, knowing she had a bruise in her leg. He felt guilty as he remembered what he did to her this morning. All he did was torturing her wounded leg. If only he knew.

"We'll go to the forest for a while. We'll be back soon." He yelled to his friends who’s watching them from a distance, still sitting in the woods. Jimin and Jungkook, who already knew the reasons, only nodded, watching them worry as they disappeared into the forest.

Taehyung silently watched how she walked. Wondering if her leg is really okay. She walked just normal, he had no idea if she tried to bear the pain or she's really fine.

"Look Tae, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I thought it was only a small accident and it wouldn't turn out this bad." She stopped suddenly and turned to face him.

"What happened?" He asked calmly. Despite how impatiently he wanted to see her bruise so bad. 

"I bumped into a rock in the river yesterday and I got a bruise. It was pretty bad. But Jimin already healed it, so it didn't hurt anymore." She softly explained in hope Taehyung wouldn’t make a big deal about it, though it is impossible knowing how protective he is.

"Let me see it." He answered, still trying to be as calm as possible. 

She nodded, finding it a bit odd how calm he took this information. "Please don't freak out."

She pulled up her pants, revealing a dark blue bruise on her leg.

"The bruise is this bad huh?" His sharp eyes quickly found the bruise even without bending down. As soon as he saw the bruise, he couldn’t be calm anymore.

"Does it hurt?" He quickly averted his eyes on her.

"No.. unless you touch it." She shook her head, biting his inner cheeks.

Taehyung, biting his lips in worry. "Does it hurt so much if I touch it?" He suddenly bent down, as soon as his eyes met the bruise closer, his eyes widened in fear, he tensed at the sight and he hoped this was only a nightmare. 

"No.. not too much after jimin healed it was less painful." He heard her shaky voice as he gulped down all his fear knowing he should pretend it was nothing to worry about. He needs to be strong for his Eunseo. 

Noticing how tense and stiff his lover was, She knew something wasn't right. Remembering how terrified Jungkook and Jimin were, she already sensed something wasn't right.

"Is it bad Tae?" She bravely asked, wanting to hear the truth already. 

Taehyung didn’t answer. He couldn’t tell her. 

"I knew it, it's not just a bruise is it? I wonder why Jimin couldn't heal this, this must be not just any bruise. What is it Tae? Please if you know something. Tell me."

“I don’t know..” Taehyung stood up as he answered, his eyes not meeting hers. Eunseo looked at him, feeling betrayed. She knew he was hiding something and didn’t want to tell her. 

"I don't know what this is. But I promise I will figure it out soon." As if he knew what she’s thinking Taehyung said it all again. 

"Is it bad tae?" she trembled asking him. 

"No baby, I promise you're gonna be okay." Taehyung quickly pulled her in his embrace, softly caressing her long hair, putting his chin on her head. Trying to appear calm despite how terrified he was. His eyes shook in fear, he felt like his life was gonna crumble once again. He really wanted to cry, but he couldn’t. Not in front of her.

"Are you sure it's nothing serious?" She trembled in his embrace, making him tighten her grip on her petite body. He didn’t want her to see how he looked. So broken and scared.

He only nodded because he couldn't say another lie. He needed to speak to Namjoon. He didn’t want to believe it before he got confirmation from others. 

She's in real danger. And he was afraid he couldn't protect her.

At the same time he heard Jimin sent a message.

Jin comeback. We need to leave this planet soon.

******************************

Jin was coming to bring them with their new ship they got from Jackson.

"I'm sorry, we took a long time to get this new ship. Jackson was nice, he was going to give us the ship without second thought. But their people were such assholes." Jin complained for the second time as he sat, ready to control this new ship that he got it with his blood, sweat and tears. 

"They won't give us the ship for free." He shook his head frustratedly, still couldn’t believe they made them do that. 

"What did they make you do?” Jungkook curiously asked.

"Drinking and dinner.." Suga answered for Jin, and in seconds both Jungkook and Jimin had their eyes popped out from their socket.

"You know we only drink water and eat those mushrooms and you guys were drinking wine and having an expensive dinner. Wow." Jimin sneered.

"You know we don't have any choice. We could only do whatever they wanted to build their trust, especially their mayor. If only you knew what happened, you wouldn't even want to come with us." Jin explained as he started the ship to fly away. He remembered people bringing them to the gambling place using them to take a guess for them, drinking shots and shots they couldn’t count, and many other useless things they did just for them.

"Yeah, he's the main problem. He kept asking us to do some crazy stuff. He even brought us to his house just to show us his toy collection." Hoseok sighed remembering the moment he really wanted to disappear. His house smelled so much of flowers but it’s too strong. He couldn’t breathe properly without feeling want to puke.

"And namjoon was gonna steal one." Suga chuckled as he pulled the gas to speed up the ship.

"What?! N-No.." Namjoon quickly defended, feeling betrayed that his friend suddenly targeted him even though he just stood still without saying anything.

He spontaneously glanced at Leah who was smiling, listening to their embarrassing stories, he felt his cheeks burned seeing how pretty her smile is.

Eunseo and Taehyung were in the bedroom, he was still comforting her that she’s gonna be okay and all her answers were only nodded. Until she told him she wanted to take a rest and she wanted him to leave her for a while. He offered to cuddle but she declined, saying she just needed a little nap. So in the end Taehyung got up from the bed, walking towards the door. He turned to her once he reached the door to give a little smile before turning the door knob. This time Taehyung made his way towards his friends. It’s time for him to talk to Namjoon.

"Hyung, can we talk?" Taehyung said in a weak state, Namjoon was surprised to see how he looked. Taehyung walked to the storage room as soon as he said it, not a second waiting for his hyung to answer him. Namjoon glanced at his friends, who were only staring at his leader in confusion and worry before he followed Taehyung. Their friends started to make a fuss about it once Namjoon followed him. Only Jungkook and Jimin who remained calm, their hearts started thumping so hard, didn’t like how it was gonna happen.

"What is it Tae, is there something wrong while we're gone?" He asked as soon as they were in the storage room. He’s getting worried and looking at how broken Taehyung's eyes were right now, it only pinched his heart. 

"Hyung, do you know about the black circle that is one of dominus powers?" Taehyung started with a weak voice.

"Yeah, it's a power he gave to his troops so they could spread the curse."

Hearing this, Taehyung's hand began trembling. 

It's her. She’s fucking did it. He knew the truth already but knowing another sickening fact from other people, it doubled his pains. He felt hopeless now.

"Eunseo, I think she got cursed.." He said softly, his deep voice already sounded weaker.

"What do you mean? Who cursed her?" Namjoon only gasped in shock.

"She had a bruise on her leg. I tried to look closely at her bruise and It’s exactly the same as the black ring." His voice getting weaker, he didn’t know if he could bear his tears anymore.

"B-Black ring?? How? I mean.. she always stayed with us. We never met Dominus or his troops." Namjoon muttered in disbelief as he came closer to him.

"Actually we met one of his troops." Taehyung continued as he looked up at his leader's eyes, who was hardly taking the information. 

"W-what? Where?" 

"When we were in Moa, my biggest enemy appeared. Laurie.." just remembering that moment, his hand curled up in a tight fist, if only he could kill a dead person he would kill her again and again to pay for what she did.

"Laurie is Dominus troops?" Namjoon whispered.

"Yeah hyung, I saw the symbol on her forehead when she died. Jungkook also saw it." Taehyung bit his lips, his tears almost came out so he looked up to blink away the tears.

"We fought with her and Jungkook killed her. But.. before she died she threw the black circle towards Eunseo and made her fall into the river. I thought I had crushed that black circle, because I saw it with my own two eyes, it turned to ash." 

"I really had no idea that it could possibly already hit her before I crushed it. I didn't know it was a curse."

"And I also had nightmares, Laurie kept saying, Eunseo is gonna die.." Taehyung couldn’t hold it anymore as he let his tears fall down, making the leader's heart tightened in a painful way. 

Namjoon quickly hugged his shoulder, ruffling his hair so tenderly as he spoke. "Oh No, Tae. You know it won't happen.. We won't let them kill her. We'll protect her."

"How hyung? How? At this rate I couldn't even trust myself that I could save her.. I'm scared."

At that moment Namjoon felt his mouth being stitched, and couldn't really say anything back.

Chapter 12 - DIOCH

Taehyung brought her to the beautiful spot on top of the hills. They watch sunrise, his head on her lap, her hands caressing his soft hair. The sun started to appear slowly rising up to show itself, slowly eating the darkness away. The sky turned brighter and brighter until the darkness totally disappeared.

“This is so beautiful, how could you find so many beautiful places?”

“I found this yesterday when I hunted for wood. I’ve purposely searched this place for you. So we could spend time together.”

“You never change.” Always being a romantic guy she always loves. Without her realizing, she moved her hand to his ear, touching it with so much affection. 

“Do it again.” He mumbled.

“What?” Her hand stopped in the middle of the air. He grunted and brought her hand to his ear again.

“Touching my ears, I like you touching my ears.” He said with his deep voice as he closed his eyes.

His words make her body goosebumps.

“What the hell, it sounds just so wrong.” She mumbled hoping he wouldn’t hear but he definitely heard her as he giggled. 

“You sound like a pervert.” So she continued to mock him.

“Why? It’s the fact tho, I really like you touching my ears.” He whined cutely, his sexy lips pouting like a kid. And she’s really like this side of him, her face redden. 

“Ugh, shut up!” She turned her face away. 

“Are you embarrassed? Did I ruin the mood?” He suddenly looked up and noticed her red cheeks. He giggled at her being all shy and she just ignored him, but kept stroking his hair.

For a few minutes they stay silent, Taehyung playing with her hands. Sometimes he brought it to his lips and gave kisses to her knuckles. Pampering her small hand with kisses here and there. 

Their hair swayed from the wind, Eunseo still looking far away to the bright sky. Taehyung was mesmerizing her beauty from under her. She looked really beautiful, so breathtaking he swore he would never get enough to watch her for the rest of his life. Her tiny and pink lips, her thick eyebrow, and her mole under her eyes. He smiled, realizing they have match moles. 

"I'm glad I came to the moon and you caught me that day." Taehyung whispered as he looked up to see Eunseo who was now looking at him. 

Eunseo smiled.

"And I'm glad you showed me your bracelet." She replied. And then she remembered a dream she always had. 

"That woman was really telling the truth." She sighed. 

"What do you mean?" He frowned as he still looked up, to see his lover's gorgeous face.

"I had this vivid dream.. " She whispered, eyes thrown over the horizon far before them. Taehyung already sat up, closely taking the spot next to her, ready to hear her stories again.

The beautiful woman showed her a red bracelet. 

“This bracelet will help you find him.” She smiled as she handed her a red bracelet. 

She confusedly took it and took a close look at the bracelet. It’s the same bracelet she received from her grandmother. Why did she have it, did she relate to her grandmother? She always wonders. 

She never got an answer as the dreams always stopped right before she could question her and failed to ask her grandmother as she died when she just turned 7 years old.

"I thought whatever she said in those dreams was bullshit. But no, she's telling the truth. I'm so thankful for her." She smiled, looking at Taehyung’s eyes that never left her.

"Whoever she was, I'm also thankful she brought you here to me." He took her hands, gave a little squeeze and brought to his lips to give it a peck. A proud smile was attached to his face.

“It’s been so hard on me, after you left. I felt my soul leaving too.. It’s so hard.”

“I'm never ready to face another day, just wishing that I could die too.. But Laurie, she made me want to stay strong and I was crazy to kill her.. You must hate me for this but I killed so many innocent witches just because I needed to find Laurie and kill her.”

Eunseo bit her lips, feeling the urge to cry as the information she got, and her heart getting painful by looking at how painful and guilt were smeared on his lover's face. She kept caressing his scalp, giving courage for him to keep on talking. 

“You have no idea how they’re begging to spare their life, crying and bawling their eyes out.. Yet I killed them. I kept having nightmares, the people I killed were coming at me, all at once, saying that I was a ruthless bastard..”

“I’m sorry for leaving you, for making you to be someone that you're not..”

“Nooo.. It’s not your fault. I chose to be that someone.”

Suddenly Taehyung sits up and grabs her shoulder and lifts her chin up.

“You know why I hate it so much whenever you try to save your queen from any danger?” He stared at her ocean eyes and whispered softly. 

Eunseo only stared at him and didn’t answer.

“Because it always reminds me how you were taken from my life. You saved me that day, and I lost you. I lost my soul and reason to keep on living. If you are gone I don’t know how to live anymore.. “ 

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry I make your life living like hell..” Eunseo suddenly hugged him and weakly whispered on his chest.

“No.. don’t apologize please. It’s not your fault. Just please promise me, you will be careful and keep by my side..” He said soothingly, as he pulled her closer to his embrace and kissed the top of her head.

“Promise..”

"Let's go to the waterfall. I really wanted to swim there ever since we came here." Taehyung stood up and extended his hand for her to take. But she only refused and shook her head.

“It’s early, it must be freaking cold.” She whined.

He chuckled, grabbed her arms to pull her up but she only rooted on her place. “Oh c’mon it’s only water.” 

She rolled her eyes as she wanted to say “And yet you were panicked because I just swam in the water yesterday.” But she only kept her mouth shut, and didn't want to start a fight.

She kept sticking on the ground, refusing to get up even though Taehyung kept pulling her up. Noticing how stubbornly she was to just stay in her place, an idea popped out in his brain. He bent down and wrapped his hand on her waist. In a quick motion, he took her on his shoulder and ran to the river. She squealed, only receiving a giggle from his excited lover. She yelled at the top of her lungs as he made a quick run to the waterfall.

She slapped his back to stop and demanded to put her down.

Taehyung only laughed evilly and didn’t even slow his speed. 

“I count to three.. And hold your breath okay.” He laughed.

“Noo... No.. Taehyung.. No..”

But he counted already and launched to the deep river with her on his shoulder. They fell in the cold water and Taehyung was laughing crazily when they came out from the water, his grip didn’t loosen on her body as he brought her body close to his. His boxy smile was brighter than the sunlight as his laughter only got louder. He's definitely enjoying this. He looked so happy to annoy her.

"I hate you!!" Eunseo sprayed water on his face, it only made him laugh, showing his boxy smile.

"Okay.  Okay.. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. " he laughed as he covered his face with his arm until eunseo stopped. Taehyung was glad that she stopped so he could approach her but once he swam closer, she started to do something that he hates the most, tickling. 

“Oh No.. Noo.. Please stop.. Eunseo.. I’m so sorry..”  He bursted in laughter and wiggled his body, the water sprayed as he tried to get away from her. 

“No, you should pay for what you did!” She smirked, as she kept tickling him on his weak spots, making him laugh louder and louder, his face getting red and Eunseo was smiling in victory as she succeeded in her revenge.

Minutes later they stopped bickering and enjoyed the water and swimming together. They spray water here and there but not too much and wash their body in the process. 

Taehyung suddenly took her hand, who was busy brushing her hair, and brought her closer. 

"Let's meet inside and kiss." He smirked.

"What?!" 

"Please." He was whining like a kid. It only makes her snort. 

"What the hell Taehyung, Are you a teen?!" She utter in disbelief.

And again Taehyung didn’t listen to her as he grabbed her arm and pulled her into the water. She widened her eyes in shock as the sudden force. Under the water, she quickly held her breath as she could see Taehyung smiling so brightly. Right there Taehyung grabbed her neck and pulled her closer to give her a kiss on her lips. He bit her lips a little so she could open her mouth. As she opened her mouth, he blew on her mouth, giving her a breath carefully.

They stayed under the water for about 30 seconds before he pulled away and took her out of the water. She thought he was done but nope, as soon as their head came out, he kissed her again.

*****************************

"Where did you two go? Jungkook is just about to take your breakfast." Jimin yelled from a distance at the sight of the couple who were coming out from the forest.

Taehyung and Eunseo approached the table, She took a seat beside her queen while Taehyung beside Jungkook in front of leah.

"That's not true. I thought it's leftover." Jungkook quickly defended as soon as Taehyung and Eunseo reached the table.

"Right, leftover with this portion?" Taehyung teased, giving a smirk to the flustered Jungkook.

"I swear I didn't." Jungkook argued. He expected his favorite hyung would believe him but his hope only crumbled down as he heard his answer.

"It's okay kook, you can eat mine. I'll already have my breakfast." Taehyung continued teasing him, smiling full of mystery as he glanced at the frowned Eunseo without anyone noticing.

Jungkook felt betrayed, he threw a dagger to Jimin who only giggled like an idiot. 

"Eww, did you guys do it in the forest? Gross." Jimin fakely makes a disgusted face. "Wait, why are you soaking? Did you do it...." Jimin continued his analysis of the couple.

"Geez, Jimin, what were you thinking? We got some mangoes in the forest and we swam near the waterfall" Taehyung snorted at his dirty thoughts, even though in fact he might be half true since they were making out in the forest. 

"You should stop thinking of perverted things." Eunseo shakes her head.

"Well who knows if you really did it." Jimin grimaced at the thought. 

Leah clears her throat and speaks, stopping the bickering.

"Eunseo, you should try this. It's really good." Leah pointed at the meat that had been grilled that looked so tempting as soon as she took a look.

"Sure.." She took the thin branch and started to dig in.

"Hyung, Where is the waterfall? I want to go there too." Jungkook speaked as he turned to Taehyung who was giving full attention to his lover who happily munched the meat. 

"It's 6000 feet from here." He answered nonchalantly, eyes still on Eunseo. It made Jungkook snort in annoyance, but he was still curious about the waterfall so he just let it off.

"That's close. Is the water clear?”

Taehyung nodded. “Why didn't you tell us? " Jungkook continued.

"Of course he wanted to keep that place only for his sweet darling." Jimin butts in.

"We could hang out there together, it's more fun. Let's go there this afternoon." Jungkook excitedly gave an idea, he really loves a waterfall. 

“Sure..” Taehyung shrugged off and the other nodded in agreement. Jungkook smiled brightly seeing everyone respond. 

"Is it the only place you visit ? You took a long time to just play in the water." Jimin started again making Taehyung sighed and glaring at him. "Did we really have to tell you in detail?"

"Yes, I'm curious." He put an innocent smile. Make everyone on the table sighed in disbelief.

"We watched the sunrise." Taehyung said blankly. 

"Oh how romantic. I felt so single." Jimin screams like a fangirl.

"You are single." Jungkook mutters in sarcasm. Leah laughed at his comment.

"And where did you go after that?" He ignored Jungkook's rude comment as he kept pressing the couple with questions.

"Stop asking about us. It's a kind of privacy you know." Eunseo beat Taehyung to answer him, she just couldn’t handle his noisy mouth anymore. 

"See, I told you they did it." Jimin smiled mischievously at Jungkook.

Jungkook and the rest only shake their heads.

And they continued their breakfast, with Jimin still being nosy with Eunseo and Taehyung's secret place.

Leah and Eunseo were cleaning their arrows. They have the same weapons as they were from the same planet. The difference is its power. The queen arrow is hundred times more powerful than the ordinary fairy.

"I lost one of my arrows. I think I dropped it somewhere."

"Are you sure, quee.." Eunseo couldn’t continue as she felt her glare as soon as that word came out.

"Leah.. " She whispered hesitantly. It just feels so weird to call her by her name since she never in her life called her like that. 

"Yeah, yesterday it's still completed but I didn't check after we went to the river." she frowned as she checked her arrow one by one. No matter how many times she checked it’s still missing one.

"I'll go there to check." She finally decided to check the river and stood up, bringing all her arrows. 

"I'll go with you.. " Eunseo was about to follow her but stopped when Leah turned around with her frustrated look.

"No Eunseo, it's okay I can go alone."

"No I'll go with you .. as a friend." As she said this she suddenly remembered about Taehyung's request that she needed to tell him everything.. She decided to get permission from Taehyung and keep following the queen despite her rejection but before she could do all her plans, Taehyung was already behind her. 

Taehyung who was watching them the whole time decided to approach them, sensing there’s a problem.

"Is everything okay?" He asked Eunseo, eyes glancing back and forth at Leah and Eunseo.

"No, actually my qu…" She glanced at Leah who frowned. "Leah lost one of her arrows. We guessed it dropped near the river. I will go with her to search for it." 

Taehyung quickly shakes his head. "No you wait here.. I'll go with her."

"But Tae.."

Taehyung just gave her a smile and he took a step closer to give her a peck on her forehead and softly whispered. “Just stay here, I’ll come back.”

"Let's go.." He looked at Leah without an emoticon as he started to walk to enter the forest.

Leah glanced back at Eunseo and smiled apologetically. Eunseo bit her lips and nodded before Leah walked to the forest, following taehyung. 

[naomikafka]

Chapter 11 - DIOCH

Jin brought them all with his teleportation to another planet, Riviera. Since their ship had been destroyed with those green orcs. He couldn’t think of any other places, since they had to escape Moa in a hurry, he just brought them here. It’s his favorite place whenever he wanted to be alone, this place was his number one destination. 

Riviera, It's an uninhabited planet with beautiful land, a clean river and waterfall, and beautiful forest. 

“We have to take a new ship, because definitely I couldn’t go to Dopere by teleportation. I never go there.” Jin said to his friends who were sitting, circling around him, facing the bonfire J-hope made.

Namjoon had discovered a new clue from the new weapon they found, the lightning bow that had blue ruby belonged to Dopere. Namjoon was so sure their next destination should be Dopere. Though he still couldn’t figure out where Louis might hide the next weapon. They decided to just visit the place where namjoon found the louis skeleton. 

“We could take the new ship from Jackson, He has so many ships ready.” Namjoon said. All eyes turned to him.

“I’ve visited their planet once, so I could go there by teleportation.” Jin replied.

“Right, the problem is their rule for outsiders. We couldn’t go there with this number of people. We have to split for a while.” Namjoon said again.

They all nodded.

“I think it’s best if the ones who should go are the ones who could operate the ship. So, it should be Yoongi, Hoseok and of course me.” Jin suggested. Suga and Hoseok just nodded, and didn't even disagree the slightest bit.

“Jackson is my friend so I should go there too.” Namjoon stated, deep inside he was worried about leaving Leah here. But as a leader he must be responsible to his team.

There's guilt creeping out his heart once he glanced at Leah who was quietly listening to their conversation, he took a deep sigh.

It’s for the best.

********************************

Jin, Hoseok, Namjoon and Yoongi have left. Leaving the rest of Bangtan members, Leah and Eunseo.

The men already built a camp from tree branches and dried leaves. Taehyung was hunting for more woods, while Jimin was hunting for food with Jungkook, leaving Leah and Eunseo alone in the camp. 

They were preparing the branch near the bonfire. They were too focused to even talk.

"I've been wanting to ask you this question since so long.. " Leah started, breaking the silence.

"Are you and Taehyung a thing?"

It made Eunseo cough.

Leah laughed. "Does it mean yes?"

Eunseo only smiled awkwardly. She didn't know how to answer that. 

To put it simple she only nodded. She could see Leah smiled, it made her even more shy. 

"Since when?"

Eunseo wants to answer “ever since years ago” but how could she say that? It’s just she’s not ready to tell anyone about her past with Taehyung. Especially not with the woman who has her previous face. 

"I don’t know. It’s just happened..” She finally answered simply.

"Did he confess to you?" Leah got curious, she really wanted to know what made her like him in this short period of time.

Now that she mentioned, Eunseo remembered he never said it, those three words after she remembered all those past.

"Yeah, he did." In the past.

"It seems you love each other so much. I see the way he looked at you and put you first in every situation. That's good you're not hurting here but happy." Leah smiled, she’s happy that Eunseo didn’t even experience any pain like she imagined. 

“Yeah, they never hurt me, but treat me like a family..” Eunseo agreed.

“That’s good.” Leah smiled, eyes now back to the bonfire before them, she started to put more woods into the fire.

Eunseo felt all her regrets coming back as she saw how pure and full concern her queen eyes were. She’s really a good person and yet she ever felt so jealous of her, days before. 

She cleared her throat and whispered. “Thank you for coming here My queen, Thanks for worrying about me. You are a Queen yet you risk your position by coming here just to make sure I’m okay.” She glanced at the queen who already set her eyes at her. 

“I’m really thankful..” Eunseo continued.

“And I’m so sorry for making you come here..” and for having such bad thoughts before. She mumbled but of course Leah couldn’t hear it.

“Why are you apologizing?” Leah chuckled before continuing.

“Eunseo, I always consider you as my friend, of course I will come to save you..”

Eunseo smiled at her answer.

They talked and talked about everything, about the people on the Moon, and so much more. Eunseo never had such a deep talk with her queen before because even though they were close, there’s always that line that separates them from making them closer. And now they’re having to talk about the queen’s life that she never heard before, it makes that thin line totally disappear. 

"I'll go to the river for a while. I need to wash my face. I felt so tired. I'll be back in minutes." Leah suddenly stood up, wiping off the dirt on her bum as she stood up.

"I'm coming with you." Eunseo eagerly stands up, needs to get some fresh air too and of course the main reason is to accompany her queen.

"No, it's okay. I can go by myself." Leah answered as she knew Eunseo just wanted to guard her.

"I need to freshen up too." She argued.

Leah sighed and just nodded and then they took their weapons and started walking to the river. 

Once they arrived at the river.

Leah quickly washed her face as well as Eunseo. Leah put her bag of arrows on the river side. She also pulled out her hairpin and put it on the rock beside her to wash her long hair.

"I feel fresh. This water is so cold." 

When she was about to stand up, she saw her hairpin fall into the river.

"Oh No. My hairpin." Leah was about to reach the hairpain but the water only dragged it further.

"I'll take it for you.." 

"No, Eunseo, it's okay." But it's too late, Eunseo already jumped into the water and swam to take the hairpin.

"Eunseo, Just leave it. Go back here.” Leah screamed and tried to reach her with her hand. But she swam only further.

"I almost get it." She managed to say as she kept swimming.

Once she grabbed it. She swam back at Leah who was worriedly waiting for her in the riverside. She helped her to get out of the water. Eunseo felt sharp pain on her right leg as she bumped into a rock in the water, it felt stinging. She’s biting her lips, trying not to groan in pain.

"Are you okay?” Leah worriedly asked as she gave her jacket to cover her drench clothes. Eunseo only nodded.

“Why did you jump just like that? It's only a hairpin. What if something dangerous is waiting for you in the water?" Leah scolded her as soon as she made sure Eunseo was covered in her dried jacket.

"I'm sorry. It's your hairpin.." Eunseo handed her a hairpin.

Leah took the hairpin. “Thank you for this but jumping into the water is not necessary."

Eunseo only nodded and smiled, she tried to ignore sharp pain on her leg.

"Listen to me, you don't have to treat me like your queen here. I told you I always consider you as a friend. And here no formality needed so just treat me like your friend and don't risk your life for something unuseful." Leah sternly said as if she’s scolding her kid. 

"Yes, Quee.."

"And don't call me Queen. Just call me by my name. Call me leah."

Eunseo nodded. 

"I'm sorry.. I won’t do it again."

Leah sighed and took her hand. "I just worried for you. I'm not mad at you. Now let’s go before you freeze to death.”

Meanwhile Taehyung was coming back to their camp and saw Jimin and Jungkook was cutting the fruit and mushrooms they found. When he saw there's no Eunseo in sight. His heart triumphs in alert.

"Where's Eunseo?"

Jimin and Jungkook quickly widened their eyes.

"We thought they were with you."

"No.. Shit." He quickly threw the wood on the ground and turned back into the forest.

Only a few minutes into the forest. He bumped into Eunseo and Leah. What caught him first was how soaked she was. And Leah's jacket was wrapped around her petite body.

"Why are you soaking wet?" 

He frowned at Leah who didn't wet even slightest on her clothes, far different from Eunseo who was drenched, as if she just fell into the water.

Eunseo was hesitant to answer and So Leah beat her.

"She jumped into the water to take my thing that fell into the river." She said in a soft tone, feeling bad. 

"Huh?" He frowned even more. "Did you ask her to do it?" He didn’t realize that he clenched his fist already, it made Leah frowned, yet she understood why he took it that way.

"No, Tae I did it on my own." Eunseo quickly defended her, putting her hand on his chest to calm him down, she knew he’s getting mad.

Eunseo was looking at Leah, asking her to leave them alone. 

“I’m sorry.” She whispered once she saw Leah disappear from their sight.

Taehyung only sighed, his anger subside at her guilty look. He took off his jacket and put it on her body. Double jacket wrapped on her petite body.

“Why are you keeping risking your life for her? She’s not your queen. Not here.”

Taehyung remembers how many times she’s always put her queen first.

First, when Jin was about to land on their ship, Eunseo was giving her seat for Leah, because no seat left and so Taehyung would pull Eunseo on his lap instead and hold her tight when they had a harsh landing. 

Second, When they’re landing on Moa and ready to separate for their missions. Eunseo was about to give Leah her bulletproof jacket. If only Taehyung wasn’t there and gave Leah a threatening look, she might have given her and went without her safety jacket. 

And third, when Namjoon pulled out the lighting bow, she tried to shield Leah from any danger. What if something really wanted to hit her queen, did she really take the hit for her?

And now this, Taehyung didn’t know exactly what the thing was that she managed to take it from the river. Is it really important that she needs to jump into the water?

Taehyung didn’t like any idea that his woman would be hurt. He’s trying so hard to protect her from any danger, but the one he tried to protect is so careless only making it harder.

“Please don’t do this again, I want to protect you yet you’re so careless about taking care of yourself.” He pushed her hair to put it behind her ear, caressing her cheeks, looking at her eyes softly.

“I’m sorry Tae, it’s just.. She's our queen.. So I should..” She replied by looking into his eyes. She couldn’t help but always protect and guard her spontaneously whenever she saw her queen in danger or need help even for a really small thing. She was always living that way. 

“No, You shouldn’t. It’s her choice to come here. You didn’t have to protect her..”  Taehyung frowned, getting annoyed with her answer.

“She came to save me.” Eunseo held his hand on her face, sweetly caressing it to calm him down.

“And so you have to pay her with your life?” He regained his calmness due to her sweet touch.

“No, it’s just she’s always been kind to me.” 

He sighed hearing her answer and pulled her into his embrace which she accepted in seconds.

“Why are you so stubborn?” He whispered, putting his chin on her head, closing his eyes.

“I’m sorry, I can’t promise that I won’t save her. But I’ll promise you I’ll be carefull.” 

Taehyung pulled out from their warm hug to cup her face and look into her eyes.

“Fine, next time just tell me whenever you want to leave. And whenever dangers come, always stay by my side. Promise?” 

“Promise.” She smiled.

“So tell me what exactly happened? Why are you soaking wet?”

“I’ll jump into the river to take my queen’s hairpin.” 

Once this sentence left her mouth, she gulped seeing Taehyung's scary look. “Are you kidding me?”

************************************

He was holding his breath, gaining all his power to attack the devil woman before him who was laughing like a maniac. They were fighting with all their power, pulling out all their strength to win.

He finally succeeded to push all his power to the woman, make her stumble and throw her over the tree. Her body hit the tree and this time he quickly moved to her, putting his blade on her neck. It only made the woman laugh even more. 

"Kill me. Kill me. My precious dioch. But it doesn't mean your precious princess will be fine."

Taehyung pressed the blade to her neck to make it slice her neck a bit, and she only smugly continued.

"My lord Dominus would kill her for me. He will for sure.." She laughed like a maniac.

"You don't deserve to be happy.. she will die." She continued laughing, mocking him with her disgusting smirk.

And this moment he pressed the blade and cut her neck, killing her. 

But the voice kept ringing in his head.

She will die

She will die

She will die

It made him tremble and drop his bloody blade on the ground. 

"No.."  The voice kept ringing.

"No.." He covers his ears in tremble. But it won't stop.

She will die

She will die

"NOOOOOOO!!"

He opened his eyes, only to realize it was just a dream. He had a bullet of sweat and his breathing was raked. He took a deep breath to calm down and turned to see Eunseo on his side but only to find it's empty. 

He quickly sat up in panic but as soon as his eyes found Eunseo sitting, facing the bonfire. He could breathe in relief. His fast heartbeat turned to calm.

He slowly approached her, from a short distance he could see Eunseo was putting her hand over the bonfire.

Slowly he took a step more and put his arm over her shoulder, back hugging her, giving her warmth. 

"Why did you wake up so early?" He whispered on her neck, made her a little jolt in surprise but smiled in second once she knew it was Taehyung.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" She whispered back.

"Rude, I asked you a question and you dodge me with another question?"

Eunseo laughed.

"I don't know, I woke up and couldn't get to sleep again."  She shrugged before turning to him, looking at his soft gaze already set on her face.

"And why are you waking up?" She mumbled.

"Because I didn't find someone to cuddle with." 

"Geez.. you're such a kid." 

Taehyung laughed. He pulled away and moved to sit beside her.

"Are you cold?" He took her cold hand and brought it to his face. He blew on her hands playfully and rubbed it to warm it. Eunseo only lets him do whatever he childishly does. 

He was softly rubbing her hands, making sure every inch of her skin was warm. Until the dream started to appear in his mind. He stopped, the voice started ringing in his head again. His eyes were shaking. 

Noo.. not again.. He shakily mumbled.

Eunseo was slightly confused with his sudden quietness. She wanted to ask him what happened but at the same time he pulled her closer, pulled her head to his chest.

She could feel his heartbeat getting faster. She's getting worried.

"Tae, Are you okay?" She softly asked as she tried to look up to see his face, but he didn’t let her as he hugged her tighter. 

“Tae.. are..” She wanted to ask again but got tongue-tied with his next words. 

"I love you..." I can’t lose you.. Not again. He really wanted to speak up his mind but he couldn’t. He didn’t want to make her worried. He gave her a kiss on her hair. 

"I really love you so much.. Seo.." please don’t leave. He repeated.

Eunseo was slightly taken aback with his sudden confession. However It was the first confession after she regained her memories. She looked up to see his eyes which somehow turned sad.

She wanted to utter a word but he didn't let her, as he pressed his lips on hers softly, closing his eyes. He kissed her slowly, tasting her sweet pink lips, calming his drumming heartbeat. She was stunned for a moment but kissed him back in seconds.

The kiss was slow and sweet. He treasures every inch of her lips. All his worries were gone as well as the voice. He felt his chest flooded with butterflies, making him groan in pleasure. Kissing her it feels amazing like he was on cloud nine.

"I love you Seo." He panted as he pulled away for a second to take a breath.

"I love you too, Taehyung." She whispered back and their lips met again.

Chapter 10 - DIOCH

Queen Leah joined the team and Eun seo was somehow jealous of her since her face was exactly the same as her before, though she shouldn’t because two facts, first she’s always been the queen who was very kind to her and second because Leah doesn’t even know she has her face. 

Still, she couldn’t help but wonder if her appearance made Taehyung's heart flutter? 

Eunseo quickly shook her head, she shouldn’t think too much, she should trust Taehyung.

“Is it where you sleep?” The one that haunts her mind now comes face to face with her, she sits on the bed beside her. Eunseo didn’t notice when Leah came into their room.

Eunseo nodded, smiled apologetically as she was just thinking about her a minute ago. She watched the Queen's eyes wandering around the small room.

“They didn’t hurt you right?” Leah suddenly looked at her, worried was so evident in her tone and it just made her feel much more bad. How could she’s jealous of this caring woman? She definitely would slap her head to get some sense.

“No, they’re all so caring to me.” Eunseo answered with a smile. “What made you come here, My Queen?”

It’s been hours since Leah was coming here, but they didn’t have much time to talk since Leah was busy arguing with Namjoon and all the members, which ended with them being on good terms.

“I didn’t trust them. Even though they promised no to hurt you. I couldn’t believe them.”

Eunseo bite her lips, feeling regret with her bad thoughts.

“But, talking with them again, I have just this little trust in them, maybe it will grow much more.” The Queen smiled.

“Yeah, they’re good people.” Eunseo agreed.

They talked more and more, and Leah told Eunseo that the moon was now building a new village for the people who lost their homes after the Titans attacked. And Leah also told her that Jihyo, the black fairy, has now become the temporary queen for the moon since Leah will be doing the mission with bangtan. 

“GUYS! Be ready, we’re gonna land on Moa in a few minutes, it will be hard landing, so please stay in your seats and hold on tight.” Jin announced through the speakers.

Seconds later, Taehyung rushed to the room, standing right before Eunseo.

“Eunseo, come, you have to sit on your seat.” He extended his hand before he glanced at the Queen sitting next to her for a second, their eyes met for a second but quickly he threw his eyes at Eunseo again.

Eunseo took his hand and stood up, earning a frown from the Queen. Before she could even question her, Eunseo was taking the queen's hands too. 

“Let’s go, my queen, we have to sit on our seats.”

**************************

Moa is the planet of the green orc. The footprints in the video were green orc footprints. The green orc is a beast and a cruel creature. They spend their days mostly sleeping and they’re very sensitive to outsiders, they'll be very angry with anyone who’s coming to their land and disturb their peaceful sleep. They surely wouldn’t let anyone escape their land without a fight.

So Bangtan had to be really careful to choose the perfect place to land.

As soon as the ship was landing. They quickly get out of the ship since they didn’t have much time on this planet. 

Namjoon told them to find the Red Tiger Tree which was the red dot he saw on the video. He had to zoom to 180% to see it clearer and captured it so he could show the big tree to his members. He’s sure that it’s the clue to find the next weapon or maybe stone, Namjoon still doesn’t know. 

They split into three teams.

Namjoon, Leah, and Jin. 

Jimin, Hoseok and Suga. 

Taehyung, Jungkook and Eunseo.

Here they were in the middle of the red tiger forest. It’s been hours since they were walking silently in this big forest. Taehyung who always managed to intertwine his hand with Eunseo, keeping her safe by his side, always threw his eyes here and there to spot any danger coming. 

It was completely silent around them, only a creepy sound of wind and a faint sound of green orc snores who probably were sleeping far far away from them.

Jungkook, who was far ahead from them, suddenly jolted in his steps, eyes widening. 

“N-No..No.. It couldn’t be..” He stuttered as he saw what he found.

He quickly turned around, urging the two love birds to come quickly. Jungkook is still frozen in place as they come to him. Taehyung's big eyes turned bigger and gasping once he spotted what Jungkook showed.

“NO.. Way..”

Jungkook and Taehyung were both gasping, too frozen to do anything until Eunseo patted their shoulder to come to their senses.

“Quickly, tell Namjoon.” She told them.

Taehyung nodded in excitement as he quickly mind linked Jin who was with Namjoon.

Hyung, Come here! Hurry up! We found the tree.

A second later, Jin responded. 

What? Where?

20000 feets from our ship.

Alright! We’ll be there in minutes. Please make sure there is no danger around.

While waiting, they didn’t dare to lay a finger on the big tree, as from their previous experience that all of the clues only connected to Namjoon. So to avoid any problems, they’re just waiting for their leader to come. 

Minutes later, Namjoon, Leah and Jin come. Jungkook quickly showed the big tree.

Namjoon smiled as he saw the big red tiger tree that was exactly the same with the clue on the videos. And he felt it too.. those unfamiliar feeling he still figure it out.

Namjoon was taking steps slowly as he’s studying the big three, trying to find the hidden clues, peeking through any small holes he discovered. Until he sees a small hole that shines, his smile brightens. 

“It’s here.” He announced. 

Everyone stayed alert, careful of what he might do.

“I’ll break this tree. Please move away as far as possible. Be ready we might run in a flash after this.” He said.  

Taehyung wanted to grab Eunseo's hands to step away but before he could move, Eunseo grabbed Leah's hands and dragged her away and shielded her, leaving Taehyung frowning on his spot.

After some time, Namjoon breaks the tree, a loud snapping sound was echoing in the Red tiger forest, everyone held their head to avoid any woods that would hit them, Taehyung was coming to Eunseo's side, shielding her head with his two hands. Leah glanced at him in question but kept her face straight.  

Back to Namjoon, his smile brightens at the sight before him as he tries to stand stably despite how crazy the tree is falling down, making the ground shake. He could see the black arrowhead stuck inside. The lightning bow. He took a deep breath before he took the bow. It’s quite hard to pull the bow but he manages to take it out and succeeds without any scratch. He turned around to his friends and smiled proudly. Jin clapped for him followed by Jungkook.

Until the ground started to shake, everyone stopped moving. They were staring at each other before they heard thunders were blaring and the land became more shaking and cracked. Namjoon nodded at his friend before they started to run in a flash, taehyung holding Eun seo's hand so tight, kept dragging her away at the speed of light. 

“No, wait, my queen.” She almost stopped and tried to shake Taehyung's hand on her, it made him gritted his teeth in annoyance.

“She’s fine. She’s with Namjoon hyung.” 

At the other side, Namjoon was taking Leah's hand, dragging her away without him realizing. Until Jin comes to his side.

“Take my hand Joon, I’ll teleport to our ship.” Jin yelled due to the noisy thunder blaring.

“What about them?” Namjoon yelled back, pointing at his other friends who already disappeared.

Taehyung, Jungkook and Eunseo were far ahead of them. They couldn't see them.

“I’ll rescue him later, I’ll tell taehyung right away. Hurry, put your hand on my shoulders. We’ll go now.”

Namjoon finally grabbed Jin’s shoulder while holding Leah who just followed them without arguing. Before they disappear Jin managed to tell Taehyung by mind link.

***************************

Meanwhile Taehyung, Jungkook and Eunseo kept running, avoiding the holes on the ground. The Thunder was hitting the ground made it more cracked. Taehyung pulled Eunseo, and suddenly taking her bridal style made her squeak in surprise but soon she quickly put her hand on his neck, afraid she would fall though it’s never gonna happen as Taehyung wouldn’t even let her. He kept protecting her from the thunder with his body as a shield. He could take the hit from thunder but Eunseo is only a fairy, she could hurt. They jumped here and there until finally the ground stopped cracking when they arrived at the river, the water was red like blood. It makes Eunseo’s stomach crunched.

Taehyung put her down and pulled her in his embrace as he saw how scared she was. 

“We could jump to cross this path and wait for Jin Hyung over there, he crossed this path before.” Jungkook pointed to the small tree across the river,

“Alright, we have no choice, this place is not good.” Taehyung stomped on his feet as he felt so sticky on his boots.

Jungkook agreed, realizing the ground was also sticky on his boots.

“I’ll go first..” Jungkook was about to jump but Taehyung stopped him.

“Wait!” Taehyung frowned, his heartbeat beating faster at the information he just got from Jin.

Jungkook, who was halted on his track, looked worried at his distressed hyung. 

“What is it?” Eunseo asked worriedly as she patted his chest.

“Did something happen, hyung?” Jungkook quickly rushed to him.

“Our ship is destroyed..” He whispered and looked at them, before quickly looking around and stayed alert to protect Eunseo.

A second later, there’s a shadow from up the tree. A familiar female was flying down and stood before them with her smirk, eyes on Taehyung. 

“Long time no see, my precious Dioch. I see you have a new princess now.” She glanced at the intertwined hands of Taehyung and Eunseo.

Taehyung gritted his teeth at the sight he hated the most, without realizing, gripping on Eunseo hand too tight. She only gulped in nervousness at her sight.

At the same time there’s a voice from jimin.

Fuck, Green orcs are chasing us. 

“Don’t you dare to pull your weapon. Just keep hold on me, don’t let go..” Taehyung whispered darkly at Eunseo who was about to pull her bow, but quickly put it back and clinging on his arm instead made him slightly smile at her obedience. Taehyung pulled out his blade and swung it above his head to gather its strength. 

“This time, I’ll protect you no matter what.” He whispered again as he turned his head to Jungkook who was ready to pull out all of his strength and they nodded.

They really didn’t care about Dominus and his troops now as they were ready to pull out all of their strength ready to fight the wick witch, Laurie, Taehyung’s forever enemy.

All hell broke loose as they started to fight.  

Taehyung throws her with the lightning he creates from the blade, and Jungkook swirling his hand to create the wind and dust. Eunseo was about to pull out her bow but again Taehyung hissed and pulled her to his side again.

“I told you. Don’t let go.”

His dark glare made Eunseo have no choice but to cling on his arm again.

"I kill you this time and your sweet little princess." Laurie smiled evilly as a hundred shadows started to appear. The shadows were coming fast to attack the three of them but as a Dioch, he’s faster than any other creature, he could dodge all of them and manage to push all the shadows back to its owner, Laurie almost stumbled but managed to stand back.

"I won't let you hurt her. Not again." Taehyung replied darkly. 

Laurie didn’t stop, it just made her crazier, she started pulling out more of the shadows, the numbers were much more than before and began to attack them. Jungkook and Taehyung dodge her attack in quick motion. Jungkook swirled the wind and the dust he made and put them together with the lightning Taehyung made, and pushed them to Laurie, making her step back and hit the tree. 

"Oh darling, I won't just hurt her. I'll kill her just like your sweet lover." She coughed but her smirk didn’t even fall from her evil face. 

She started to create a black circle from her hands, the famous weapons and throw it to them. Taehyung frowned at the familiar power, but didn’t waste any second to question it. He won’t let his guard down as he dodge her attack again and again with Eunseo following his movement. Eunseo really wants to pull her bow but the wind that Jungkook created makes it hard to stand in balance. She felt pathetic for not doing anything but she knew better that Taehyung would definitely be mad at her if she let go of him. 

The hundreds of shadows and the black circles keep coming to them, and Jungkook manages to crush them with his big rock he formed with the dusk. They were destroyed one by one, until they totally disappeared.

They kept throwing their power at each other as Eunseo only held Taehyung by his waist. She never felt so useless in her entire life before this moment.

She felt Taehyung step back as her power made him stumble a little.

Laurie was laughing crazily as she pushed them with her black circle power. Until the wind from Jungkook made her swirl and at the same time Taehyung pushing her with his lighting made her body hit the ground and coughed. Again, he hit her with another lighting and made her cough of blood. 

Taehyung smiled in victory as he saw how she's getting weak. Finally put his arms down. He knew his power would make her die.

But to his surprise, even in her last breath she managed to create another black circle and threw it towards Eunseo, pushing her to the red River. It happened in quick motion, Taehyung couldn’t even blink. At the speed of light he moves the river and sees Eunseo was fighting with the black circle in the water. It made her sink and drinking the red water made her want to puke. He quickly jumps into the water to save her and succeed in grabbing her arm. He threw the black circle with his lighting and crushed it with it and brought her body closer.

On the other side, Laurie was coughing and continued to provoke him even she’s dying.

“I couldn’t kill her, but My Lord will.” Laurie was laughing in her weak voice.

It makes his jaw clenched and his hand tightening in fist, he’s boiling in anger but his priority now is the girl who’s struggling in his embrace trying to swim fast to get out of the bloody river that makes her stomach crunched in disgust. 

At the same time, Jungkook’s rage is surfacing and he doesn’t need to be told as he pushed a big rock he created to end her, he killed her just like Taehyung wanted.

Eunseo was coughing once Taehyung took her out of the water with his arm, the red water was coming out from her mouth. She felt disgusted as the red water tasted really racid. 

She quickly urged him to put her down, and rushed to the nearest tree as she let out all of the food in her stomach.

Taehyung rushed to her to pat on her back.

“Are you okay?” 

“I drank blood.” That’s all she said, feeling another twitch in her stomach as she puked again. 

Taehyung rubbed her back slowly until she finally calmed down. He used his own bloody hand to wipe all the blood on her body.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

She shakes her head. "She only pushed me to the river, I succeeded to avoid her black circle that was trying to attack me."

"It didn't hit you right?" 

"Noo.." 

Taehyung glanced at Laurie’s dead body, smiling and mouthing ‘Thanks’ at Jungkook who succeeded in killing her.

“Are you really okay?” His focus was back at Eunseo, wiping the red stain on her face. 

Eunseo nodded, she’s on the verge of crying due to the disgusting water she accidentally gulped but she tried to hold her tears, and didn't want Taehyung to be more worried.

“I’m sorry, it's my fault, I couldn’t protect you.” He silently mumbled but she could hear him.

“What do you mean? All you ever did was protect me. And clearly it's her fault not yours. Please don't blame yourself! On the other hand I feel so useless I couldn’t do anything. ” She quickly raised an eyebrow, disliking how he started to blame himself for everything, just like the old times. At this moment she was already feeling so pathetic, because she couldn’t do anything. 

“No.. Don’t say that please. You’re precious, you’re strong. But I’m just too afraid to lose you again.” Taehyung held her face, caressing her cheek, looking at her eyes tenderly, calming her down.

"And please promise me don't ever blame yourself again." She looked at him as she held his arms, sweetly caressing it. He nodded. They were staring at each other and smiling at each other.

Jungkook cleared his throat as he couldn’t handle watching the two love birds were all lovey dovey again. And clearly he wouldn't see them kissing or worse making out in front of him.

“Please note, there’s another person here. Don’t do anything dirty in front of me please. I’m innocent.”

Taehyung and Eunseo only laughed and turned to Jungkook.

“And could you please tell Jin hyung to pick us up.” He continued as he stared at Taehyung.

“Maybe they’re still fighting with the green orc. I still didn’t get any information again from them.” Taehyung answered as he stepped back but still held her hand securely.

“What do you mean?” Jungkook asked confusedly as well as Eunseo who looked confusedly at his lover.

Taehyung sighed before answering. “Jimin told us, Green orcs were chasing them right when that witch appeared. Jin hyung and others will probably come to help them.” He shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal, because he knew they could fight those monsters themselves.

“Are they okay now?” Eunseo worriedly asked.

“Let me communicate with them.” Taehyung closed his eyes and asked Jimin.

Are you okay now? Is Jin hyung with you?

A second after that Jimin answered.

Hell yeah, Jin and others are here with us.  We’re still fighting, their numbers are only a few now. Please don’t communicate again. I'll focus on killing them.

“They’re still fighting. Told us to wait.” Taehyung informing them calmly, only made them sighed.

Taehyung glanced at the lifeless body of Laurie, slowly approaching her, still holding on Eunseo’s hand with Jungkook following behind.

"Finally, she's dead. We could live in peace." Eunseo said from his side.

Taehyung touched her forehead and there it was, a famous symbol was attached under her thick hair.

Taehyung’s wide eyes glanced at Jungkook who only nodded, leaving Eunseo looking at them in confusion.

No, they still couldn't live in peace.

Chapter 9 - DIOCH

She remembered she was thrown somewhere before everything turned black.

When she opened her eyes. She was standing in the middle of a big land, it was empty with only the wind she could feel and the sand on her feet. 

“Taehyung!!” She screamed, walked around to find him or anyone near. But no one answered. She walked and walked. Tears streaming down like a waterfall. When she realized she’s alone in the middle of nowhere. She slumped down, feeling the hot sand brushing her skin, she cried. She realized maybe she is died.

“Taehyung, I’m sorry I left you.” She whispered weakly, realizing she’s nowhere near her lover and she left the love of her life alone in that messed up world. 

Until there’s a big shadow on the sand, it’s getting smaller and smaller until it changes into a beautiful woman. She couldn’t see her face, her face was blurred with the bright light around her, she was wearing a white dress, with white flowers all over her dress, she was so bright it could hurt her eyes.

“Why are you here darling?” Once she started speaking, her face was getting clearer and clearer, revealing a gorgeous woman. Her flawless skin, cherry lips, dark eyebrows with ocean eyes, like a goddess. 

She only sniffed, looking confusedly at the beautiful woman.

“It’s not your time yet. Why are you here?” The beautiful woman asked again.

She only shook her head.  She didn’t know why she’s stuck there, she had never died before. 

The beautiful woman only smiled.

“I know what you have done before. You sacrificed for your loved one. So I’ll give you a reward. I’ll give you a chance to choose. Every human has a chance to be alive again, to reincarnate to be another creature. You know that right?”

This time she nodded. She wondered if this woman is an angel?

“Do you want to be alive again?” 

She nodded. Suddenly feeling a little hope in her heart that the woman wanted to help her to live again.

“Do you want me to make you alive right now? Or do you want to wait a little bit more?”

She hesitated. Taehyung’s face appeared in her mind all of sudden.

“If I wait? How long should I wait?” She quietly asked, biting her lips in nervousness.

“A thousand Years.”

She widened her eyes. Noo… Taehyung.. 

“T-That Long?”

The beautiful woman smiled and nodded. “I could make you live right now, but you can’t be alive again with this body.”

She really wanted to see him again. She thought if she would reincarnate in a thousand years maybe she couldn’t meet him. Who knows if something happened to him. She’s scared and confused. But if she’s alive right now, she would leave this body. What if he couldn’t recognize her.

She’s biting her lips hard, thinking.

And finally she decided she wanted the beautiful woman to make her alive sooner even though she’s not gonna be alive with this body anymore. She couldn’t bear it if she had to wait for another year to meet him. 

She glanced and traced her fingers all over her body so slowly, mesmerizing her body. Will he notice me? Will he know me?

“Don’t worry darling, I will treasure your body here. It will belong to the good soul and it will definitely become a strong and brave woman just like you.” The beautiful woman smiled.

After some time, she felt her body become so light, her feet started to fly away, the beautiful woman was lifting her soul with her power. The light started to surround her, she closed her eyes, unable to meet the bright light.

With the last voice she heard “Soon, You will meet him. “ The light buried her.

She didn’t know that being alive again meant she was reborn, starting a new life from the fetus until she grew old, which is she would forget about her previous life, forget about the love of her life, her reasons to come alive.  

She woke with a gasp, a bullet of sweat on her forehead. Feeling her head in pain, she closed her eyes, clutching her chest, as if there’s a rock stuck in her chest. Making her hard to breathe. 

So many memories hitting her all at once. 

The whole village in Vallaga had been destroyed as an evil witch, Laurie, attacked their village and killed people as she wanted to steal Taehyung’s weapon. 

Taehyung and Laurie were fighting, the thunder was blaring and the wind was raging. 

“Everyone Run!” Taehyung asked the people in his town to run away, he succeeded in hiding Byul behind a big container as he stood up to fight Laurie. The people started scrambling out of the town. The whole city was a mess.

They fight so intenses, the whole village covered in dust and fire in a few buildings. It’s too foggy to see what’s happening but for sure, Byul could see Taehyung was avoiding her attack now and then. Until, Laurie finally succeeded in making Taehyung’s weapon thrown away. He was running in a flash to pick it up again, afraid she would take it, before he could make it to the thrown weapon. That's when Laurie was going to attack Taehyung and he didn’t see it, Byul came to his side and pushed taehyung aside.

“NOOOOOOO!!! BYUL!!!” It was the last thing she could hear before everything black out.

A tear slipped once the memories played in her mind ended.

Eunseo is remembered now. 

Taehyung…

He was his lover. 

She was byul.. 

A beautiful woman gave her a chance to come back to be alive again. 

To meet his lover, Taehyung..

She was crying, it's too overwhelming.

Hearing her cry, Taehyung came to her room. He was so worried, he thought she was having nightmares again so he quickly rushed to her side but only got surprised when Eunseo pulled his neck and hugged him so tight.

She pulled him until he sat on the bed, sniffing on his neck as she cried harder.

“Eunseo, what's wrong..? Are you having nightmares again?” He panickly asked, worried as well. 

She didn't let him see her face. She only sobbed and sobbed.

“Eunseo please tell me what's wrong?!” He’s getting impatient with the way she always pushes him off whenever she’s hurting. He wanted to pull away, forcing her to look at his eyes. But her words next make him stiffened. 

“Byul..” She whispered.

Taehyung widened his eyes in surprise as he quickly pulled away and looked at her face, flushed and swollen.

“You..” He stuttered.

“I saw it, Taehyung…”

“I saw those memories..” She cried again as she looked at the frozen Taehyung.

“I'm sorry..” Her voice was cracked as she hugged him again.

Taehyung doesn't realize that he has a tear slipped out from his eyes as he nearly cried, he hugged her back.

His tears now streaming down like a waterfall.

****************************

The ship moves to Moa, Suga and Jin are still the ones who control the ships. Namjoon was checking the previous video, trying to get a more detailed location of the next weapons Louis hid. 

He still had no clue the exact place where he could hide it because compared to the previous video that showed the clues for black saber, this video only showed a big footprint and the mud that he’s sure belongs in Moa. Namjoon checked the video again, now he got another clue as he could see a big tree. He stopped the video and zoomed to see clearer. And he smiled as he saw the red dot, it was shiny. He grinned. Now he knew.

On the other side of the ship. Taehyung was busy teaching Eunseo to play a game on Jungkook's computer. Meanwhile Jungkook, Jimin and J-hope were watching her play.

“Click this and that at the same time to zoom the scope and click this to shoot. You should shoot while hiding behind the tree.” Taehyung pointed at the monitor as he teached her.

“I got it.” Eunseo nodded as she tried to focus more.

“Look behind! There's a shot from behind you. Quickly turn around.” J-hope suddenly shrieked, making everyone who watched the game shocked.

“Where? Where’s the enemy?” Eunseo Panicky asked. Taehyung rushed to her side, squinting his eyes at the screen to help find the hidden enemy.

“It’s from the right. Hide behind the tree!” Finally Taehyung found the enemy and pointed at him with his finger, but he was hidden behind the bush.

“I can’t see! I can’t see!”

“Don’t move, keep hiding, only move your scope.” Jungkook butt in.

“How? I can’t..” 

“Let me play for you Noona.” Jungkook was about to get up and grab her gamestick, but Taehyung pushed him down.

“No Jungkook! Just let her learn.” He sternly said only to make him pout and sit again.

“Click this and this and scroll to move..” Taehyung calmly guided her. 

“He’s coming! He's coming! The enemy is coming..” Jimin and J-hope were screaming as they heard the steps getting closer.

“No! No! No....” She panicky clicked the shoot button and shot randomly but luckily she shot the enemy, headshot.

The game was over in victory.

“WHAT?! I Win?” She stared at her result in disbelief.

“Yes, baby you win!” Taehyung cheers from her side.

She screamed, and stood to hug Taehyung, he laughed and ruffled her hair.

“You’re awesome.”

“Now, it’s my turn.” Jimin quickly sat down to play the next match.

Suddenly the ship was shaking. It’s like their ship had been hit. Automatically Taehyung reached Eunseo’s waist, holding her tight so she wouldn’t fall.

“What happened?!” J-hope was panicking, gripping on Jimin’s seat so tight. Jungkook glanced at the window to see what hit their ship.

There's a big ship flying next to them.

"SHIT! They trapped us." Jin mumbled but the microphone he wore made his voice louder.

"What do you mean hyung?! Who are they?!" Jimin quickly approached Namjoon in worry.

"We don't know, but they have been chasing us since an hour ago."

Everyone takes a peek at the other ships outside through the windows. There's three or more ships flying around them, left and right, above and below them. Their ship was trapped and couldn't move.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jimin asked silently.

"We don't want to make you guys panic." Jin sighed, body slumped down on his seat as if he’s giving up.

"Now we have to face them no matter what. Stay calm and don't move from your spot."

Namjoon said as he walked to the door.

Taehyung was already hiding Eunseo behind him protectively, eyes focused on the door.

Namjoon instructed Jin to open the door. Once The door opened, the door of the other ship was open too and there's a familiar woman standing with a smirk on her beautiful face. Two guards were standing right beside her. 

Namjoon almost couldn’t recognize her as she was wearing so casual clothes unless before, on their first encounter.

"I couldn't believe that my tracker here would last this long." She smirked, pulled a small chip just near the door.

"Queen.." Eunseo whispered, slightly shocked with her sudden appearance.

"I'm not dumb enough to let you guys slip out so easily from my land." The queen Leah smirked as she took a step to get into their ship.

She kept walking until she stopped right a step before Namjoon.

"And from now on, I'll be part of your team. You don’t have a choice but accept me since I can't go home and be stuck here with you." She snapped her fingers and her ship closed the door second after before all of them speeding up, leaving their ship.

Namjoon only froze at the moment. First, because he couldn’t believe he would meet her again in this short time, and two she looked absolutely gorgeous in those casual clothes.

Chapter 8 - DIOCH

Bangtan is now in the ship with Suga and Jin controlling the ship. As soon as they get into the ship, they lay Eunseo down in the healing room as Jimin quickly continues to heal her wounds so they could change to be humans again. Namjoon quickly got his computer ready to scan the stone, after making sure Jimin was handling eunseo to heal her wound. Jungkook and Hoseok quickly followed their leader to inspect the stone.

On the other hand, Taehyung is still holding Eunseo tight, she is hissing in pain due the healing effect, he’s rubbing her back softly, encouraging her that she’ll be okay.

Namjoon scanned the stone and he smirked as he saw the result on his monitor, there’s a black chip inside, just like before. 

Without wasting time, he crushed the stone, making Hoseok gasp and Jungkook shocked, despite he definitely knowing his leader would do it. 

Namjoon quickly threw the shred stone to take the black chip to put it on the card reader.

Not long after that, the monitor screen showed Louis who was on his path to put the lightning bow, everybody’s eyes were focused on the screen as they tried to see any clue what planet it could be.

“I know what the next destination is.” Namjoon proudly said as he saw big footprints that showed on the video.

“Where?” Hoseok asked curiously as he didn’t get any clue at all, already facing their leader with a tilted eyebrow.

“Moa..”

******************************

Eunseo was sleeping inside the healing room, she slowly awoke only to see Taehyung was sleeping, his head on the bedside, intertwining their hands.

She remembered Taehyung comforted her when she was having nightmares again. He hugged her until she stopped crying, and didn't even question what her nightmares were, because he knew, she’s not ready to tell him.

Something warm crept in her stomach, she felt her heart beat faster.

She was just so confused why he was treating her like this, like he knew her already. He was so protective and clingy around her even from the start. He always said they knew each other. She only shrugged it off whenever he said that thinking he’s just crazy. But now she started to think about it, is he being honest?

She couldn’t deny how annoying he was and how much she wanted to hate him, she couldn’t. Instead, she felt weird and he always made her heart flutter for no reason. she didn’t know when it all started but for sure, she felt it now.

She could feel comfortable around him, she felt her heart warm when he was showing his affection moments ago. How he sweetly took care of her and how softly he encouraged her. She smiled at the thought.

She watched him sleeping so peacefully, she noticed that he had so many moles on his face. 

Looking at his face closely, suddenly there’s this odd feeling that he seemed so familiar, it’s like she had met him before. Is it what he meant that he knew her because he felt it too? 

She shakes her head to throw those thoughts. They met only for days. There’s no way she ever met him. She never met anyone other than the other fairies and humans who always tried to sneak into their land. 

Her eyes now fall on a red bracelet on his arm. She frowned. “But why?”

**************************

“Be prepared guys, we’re soon landing on Vaga. Please hold tight because I’m not gonna land so smoothly.” Jin spoke through the speaker, making everybody sit down and fasten their seatbelt. 

The ship was finally landing on an inhabited planet, Vaga, not too far from Moa. They need to check the ship, the machine and all before they continue their journey. It's a safe place without anyone living and the planet was so beautiful, it had so much food, a jungle with so many fruits, and a beautiful lake. Jin landed the ship near the lake.

As soon as the ship landed, everyone quickly took their tasks. Suga and Jimin were fixing the ship, Namjoon was cleaning the room in the ship with J-hope.

Meanwhile, Jin, Taehyung and Jungkook were hunting for their meals. For the first time, Jungkook helped Jin to catch the fish with a net and Taehyung climbed on the tree to pick up fruit. 

Meanwhile Eunseo was preparing the cooking stools, cleaning the table for them to eat. She was healing so fast, the wound was still there but it’s not hurt anymore, thanks to Jimin for healing her with his magic hands.

After a few minutes, Jin, Taehyung and Jungkook come back with food on their hands. Taehyung quickly approached Eunseo, giving her an apple, a boxy smile on his face.

“You took a lot.” Eunseo glanced at the bunch of apples on his arms, she took the apple, wiped it and then ate it. A satisfied smile creeped into her face as soon as she felt the sweetness, Taehyung’s smile getting bigger at her reaction.

“Is it good?” He couldn’t help but ask, and she nodded with a smile.

Jin and Jungkook started grilling the fish, Jin is so great at cooking. Jungkook watched him in amazement at his amazing cooking skill. Jungkook always stood by his side to help whenever he needed something. 

Eunseo was helping to set the table and preparing the plates with Taehyung's help.

When Jin finished grilling with the last piece, he called all the members to come, and everyone quickly came as fast as the lightning speed.

Jimin and Jungkook sat side by side and  started digging the food. Once in a while they feed each other. They’re all sitting, with Suga coming in last, they’re all munching their food in happiness, thanking Jin for cooking so well.

“How’s your wound?” Namjoon’s attention was now on Eunseo who silently ate with Taehyung who kept putting the slices to her plate.

“It doesn't hurt anymore, Thanks to Jimin. I really owe him a lot.” Eunseo smiled at Jimin.

“No, No, it’s okay, you’re like my sister now. I should help you.” Jimin smiled.

Everyone agreed with his statements.

“How long will we stay here?” Taehyung asked.

“I don’t know, maybe a couple of hours or more. It’s up to you guys, if you’re still tired we can sleep here for a while. If you want to leave right at this moment I’m okay tho. I’m fine with anything..” Namjoon shrugged, looking at all of the members.

“Me too, Leave now or tomorrow it doesn’t matter to me.” Jin followed.

“I think we have to rest for a while here. If any of you want to take my part controlling the ship then I’m okay to go now.” Suga said as he stared at Hoseok beside him. 

Jungkook, Jimin and Jin followed his stare to look at Hoseok who became so flustered.

“Let’s leave tomorrow then.” Hoseok coughed and smiled sheepishly, he definitely wouldn’t take suga part, because even though he's good at controlling the ships, he still couldn’t handle his panic when there’s a problem.

“I agreed with him, let’s leave tomorrow.” Jimin said, and Jungkook nodded from his side.

Taehyung was grinning looking at the beautiful fairy beside him, with an unknowing look.

****************************

Once they’re done, Eunseo gets inside the ship to change her clothes. She suddenly remembered about the red bracelet on Taehyung. She pulled the zipper of her backpack to find hers. She remembered she put it in her backpack. She always brought that bracelet even though she rarely used it. She tried to find it but frowned when she found nothing. She quickly checked the other pockets but still couldn't find it. She panicked, afraid that she lost it. It'd been with her since she was 5 years old.

‘Please always wear this wherever you are’  the grandma’s voice echoing in her head. 

She panicky checked her backpack again. It’s gone, she lost it. 

No… she wanted to cry.

“Are you looking for this?” A deep voice interrupted her suddenly. She quickly glanced at the door, there was Taehyung who was leaning on the door, swirling the red bracelet on his hand. Eunseo gasped in shock.

“H-How?” She rushed to him to grab the bracelet in panic. 

“W-Why do you have this?” She asked as she checked the bracelet, making sure it was hers. There’s a small name behind the bracelet, her name. She could finally breathe in relief.

“You thought you lost it?”

She nodded.

“Where do you find it?”

“It fell from your backpack when I moved it to the healing room when you’re hurt. I want to return it as soon as you wake up. But.. I didn’t find the right time.” Taehyung explained. He was surprised to find the same bracelet he used to give byul back then, seeing the bracelet is now with Eunseo, he couldn’t help but felt so happy. There’s no doubt that she's really byul.. Indeed, His intuition never betrayed him. 

“Thanks..” She smiled with teary eyes, feeling so relieved she didn’t lose it. 

“Why didn't you wear it?” His deep voice sounds so soothing in her ears. Yet his question made her cower.

Eunseo didn’t say anything for a few minutes, she had no idea how to explain. She didn’t like to talk about it. 

She should just ignore him like before, but ever since Taehyung helped her, taking care of her, staying by her side when she was hurt, she could feel something. She didn’t know if it was good or not.

It feels like there’s something in her mind and heart that stopped her from acting so harsh to him.

“I don’t know, I’m afraid to lose it. It’s so precious to me.” After some thinking, she finally answered.

Taehyung confusedly looked at her. She felt Taehyung was looking at her in intimidation, like couldn’t wait for her, pressuring her to keep talking, to explain further but of course it’s just her thought, in fact he was patiently waiting for her. Way too patient. Because in the next few seconds Taehyung didn’t ask her anymore.

"I saw a good place around here. Would you go to this beautiful place with me?"

In the next minutes, Taehyung brings her to that place. There’s a small hut facing a beautiful lake. There’s a creeper leaf, making a roof above the hut. They sit there, watching the color of the lake turn to purple, reflecting the beautiful sky. Eunseo was gaping the whole time they just arrived. She’s staring at the beautiful sky, so many stars she couldn’t count off. The silence envelopes them but it’s not awkward, yet it feels nice. 

“How could you find this place?” Finally she turned to Taehyung only to catch him staring at her. His eyes widen a little as if he’s been caught stealing.

He was just stunned from the way her eyes glisten to the amazing view before her, even before she is always amazed with beautiful scenery.. She didn’t change. 

He cleared his throat before answering. “I found it when I was looking for food. Do you like it?” He smiled genuinely. 

She nodded before turning to face the sky again, eyes turned sad. Looking at his smile made her feel guilty somehow. She had no idea why. Is it because she was treating him so badly before? Why is he so nice to me? She glanced at him one more time with her sad eyes. What’s she done to him to make him treat her like a treasure? And why does she feel so sad now? 

Taehyung frowned at her changing expression. “Why? Why are you sad?” Taehyung couldn’t hold back anymore, he’s worried about her being so gloomy all of sudden.

She only shook her head, even herself didn’t know why she suddenly turned sad. She glanced at Taehyung who looked so disappointed and looked away. Her stomach crunched, feeling bad. She suddenly remembered when she had nightmares before, he looked so worried. And all she did was push him off. And now, she also did the same thing. She glanced at Taehyung who was looking at the lake with no emotion. 

She took a deep breath before she let out a whisper. “I want to tell you something.” 

Taehyung simply looked at her, with the same emotion. He tried to look calm, even though he felt his heartbeat getting faster, he was scared she’s going to tell him something bad.

“The nightmares.” 

Taehyung was slightly taken aback, but he tried to hide it to make it look calm.

“It’s always haunted me. I had no idea why, but it was terrifying.” She’s sure she’s ready to tell him but still she told him in puzzles. She hated herself for becoming so nervous. She glanced at him again, his eyes full of concerns, he looked so patiently waiting for her to continue.  Taking a long breath, she threw her glance far ahead, to the beautiful lake.

“It’s always the same. This beautiful woman always appeared in my dream. She stood there, smiling, there was so much light around her, it pierced my eyes. She always said she would save me. She lifted me so I was flying in the air and the light was coming at me. I was so scared that I tried to fight the bright light all at once. It felt like the light was trying to choke me, but it’s not, the light stopped right before my eyes. When she said I have to find someone. It felt like there’s thousand needles piercing my heart. The light started to suffocate me, I couldn’t move and I couldn’t breathe.. I don’t know who she's talking about. And she wouldn’t tell me.. I never get an answer. Maybe that’s why I felt those feelings when I woke up.”

“W-What did you feel?” Taehyung softly asked in concern as he got closer to her. 

“The throbbing pain in my heart, the headache, the frustration, it feels like there’s something in my body that demands me to know that someone. My heart, my mind, they’re all betraying me, giving me a torture, it’s so painful.. Like I could die in a second.” She continued slightly trembling, remembering the feeling of her nightmare. She didn't realize a tear slipped out. Taehyung felt his heart breaking, knowing that she was suffering just like him.

Taehyung suddenly pulled her into his embrace.

“No.. you wouldn’t die..” He whispered, his body shaking.

“You don’t know.. It hurts so much. It’s like I’m dying.” She weakly whimpered.

Suddenly he pulled away, putting both hands on her shoulder. 

“No Eunseo, I promise you, I won’t let you die..” He sternly said.

She felt his tight grip on her shoulders. She could see his eyes on hers with so much agony, worry, yet there's slight rage as she could see his jaw clenching.

Eunseo just looked at him in confusion. Her mouth slightly ajar as she watched him in almost horror.

Until his pupils started to shake, it changed to softer and he pulled away from her as he raked his hair in distress.

"I'm sorry.." He weakly said, there’s a regret shown in his face. She could feel her heart clenched.

"I didn't mean to scare you. It's just…"

"Why.." Why do you have to react that way? She wanted to ask but she couldn’t.

“I’m really sorry Eunseo.” The guilt was clearly shown in his face.

She watched his distressed face, she couldn't hold back the curiosity that was eating her life. 

”Who are you Taehyung?” She finally asked.

Taehyung glanced at her, a little bit surprised. He wanted to say something but no words came out. His mouth opened and closed for a while before he sighed.

“If I tell you. Would you remember me?” He gave his weakest smile; it made her heart crumble. 

“What do you mean?” She whispered.

Taehyung then gave her his bracelet and then she took it hesitantly.

“Show me yours.” He asked her to pull out her bracelet.

She slowly took her bracelet from her pocket and put it on his palm.

“Where did you get this?” Taehyung asked calmly as he played with her bracelet, inspecting the material closer.

“From my grandma when I was 5 years old.”

“Do you know where she got this?” He asked further.

“I don’t know. She never told me. All I remember was she told me to always wear it. She told me it will help me. I don't know what she meant. I didn’t have a chance to ask because she died later on.” She smiled bitterly.

Eunseo hid the fact that she also had a dream that the beautiful woman was also showing her this red bracelet and told her that that bracelet could help her to find the truth. Though she didn't understand and even now she doesn't understand, she knew a little bit that maybe Taehyung is one of the truths that she needed to find. 

Taehyung didn’t say anything, only watched her with a painful smile.

“I’m sorry for your loss.” He whispered.

“No, it’s fine, it's been a long time.” She tried to smile.

He’s back focusing on inspecting the bracelets. He tried to connect his bracelet to hers.

She frowned once she noticed that their bracelet turned out it could be connected, it looks like the bracelet was supposed to be one, but it was torn into two.

He carefully gave it to her. Put it on her palms.

“How?” the bracelets shake in her trembling hands.

Taehyung asked her to wear it and then she wore it, but as soon as the connected bracelet touched her skin, she was screaming, her head felt like it’s been pounded. 

Taehyung widened his eyes in fear, he worrily came to her side, asking what happened.

The pain in her head soon vanished and she told him she was fine.

“Are you hurt? Just pull it out if it hurts you.” Taehyung couldn’t help but worry.

“I’m fine, it’s just a small headache. But it’s gone now.” 

“Are you sure?” 

She smiled even though she knew it didn’t convince him so much because his face clearly smeared with guilt. 

Seeing she was in pain, He felt like he made the wrong decision to give her his bracelet.

At that time, there was only one thing that she had in mind.

Is the woman right?

[naomikafka]

Chapter 7 - DIOCH

“Why she didn’t come out yet! What if something happened?” Taehyung was biting his nail and tapping his foot on the ground, he couldn't hide how impatiently he was waiting for her. He was dead worried. He started overthinking. It’s been an hour since she disappeared into the cave. Even Suga, Jin, and Jungkook who were searching from outside the cave were already back and couldn’t find anything.

“Calm down Tae, she’ll be alright.” Jimin came to his side to caress his back.

Taehyung became calmer, he tried to take a deep breath. Until the rock that covers the cave starts to shake. The ground started to shake like an earthquake. His heart stopped.

“Eunseo!” Taehyung automatically called her name, he was ready to break the rock to get into the cave despite how crazy the ground was shaking so much, he tried to get into the cave but Suga was holding him to move.

“Don’t, Don’t use your power.” Suga was holding his wrist tight.

“What the heck hyung! Eunseo is right inside the cave! She’s probably in danger. How could I just stay here and do nothing!” Taehyung barked, pushed Suga off of him, making him stumble on his feet but he managed to stand still.

Taehyung was about to pull out his power but.. Again suga stopped by grabbing him by his shoulders.

“DON’T! Your power could hurt Eunseo! She might get killed!” Suga yelled due to the loud sound of stone’s breaking. Realizing his hyung was indeed correct, Taehyung weakly slumped down on the ground. 

“WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THEN!?” Taehyung cried out frustratedly.

All bangtan members stood still, and didn't know what to do except for Namjoon and Jimin who were trying to get into the cave. They were trying hard to be able to walk due to the ground shaking so hard, it started to crack. Namjoon and Jimin were trying to peek into the cave through the hole that was now bigger than before. Namjoon, Jimin, Suga and Taehyung are already changing to their original forms. 

“Hyung! Please step aside! I’ll break the rock.” Jungkook suddenly said, it turned out he was already changing to his form silently. Namjoon, who was about to break the rock too, quickly stepped aside with Jimin.

Without warning, Jungkook ran at the big rock, he smashed the big rock with his hands, the bangtan moved to the side of the cave to avoid the rocks that started to fall, slowly revealing a dark cave,

Jungkook became the one closer to the cave, he quickly got inside, searching for Eunseo, followed by Taehyung who rushed to the cave as soon as the rocks cracked.

“EUNSEO!” Taehyung cried at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing inside the dark cave.

“Eunseo!” Jimin, Jin and J-hope followed to call out her name.

They didn’t see her anywhere nor hear her voice. Until Jungkook, who was already ahead of them, yelled.

“Hyung! She’s here!”

They all rushed to Jungkook's voice and found Jungkook was kneeling beside Eunseo who was sitting on the ground, leaning on a big rock, she looked in pain.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Taehyung quickly bent down, kneeling beside her, taking over Jungkook's spot.

“I’m okay.” Eunseo said calmly. “It’s just, something cut my leg.” She tried to sit straight, hissing in pain in the process.

Taehyung averted his eyes to her bleeding leg. “Shit, you’re bleeding too much. What happened to you?”

Namjoon sat down next to Taehyung and asked worriedly. “What happened to you, Eunseo?”

Eunseo wanted to tell him, but the sharp pain made her groan in pain. 

“We have to bring her to our ship!” Taehyung yelled worriedly.

Namjoon nodded as well as the other members. Taehyung was ready to pick her up in bridal style but Eunseo stopped him.

“No, we have to stay here.”

“What do you mean? We have to treat your wound. You might have lost your blood.” Taehyung frowned.

“There’s something inside this cave. We have to take it.” She whispered.

“Eunseo you’re bleeding!” Taehyung said It again, eyes full of agony.

Eunseo sighed seeing how worried Taehyung was “Don’t worry about me, Jimin, you can heal me right?” she asked calmly, looking at the Elf who has a magic hand. The said guy quickly nodded as he came closer to her.

“And you guys go to take the stone.” Eunseo whispered.

“You found a stone?” Namjoon questions almost in shock.

“Yeah, over there. The golden stone. But I couldn’t pull it out.” Eunseo pointed to the direction where she saw the golden stone, everyone's eyes turned to the spot she’s pointing at.

“Well, I'm staying here with Taehyung and Eunseo to heal her wound. And you guys take the stone.” Jimin said, nodding at his friends.

“The golden stone couldn’t be removed so easily. I was hurt because of that. So, please be careful.” She warned them.

All the members were listening and nodded. 

“Don’t worry, we’ll try to not get hurt.” Suga gave her a thin smile and everyone nodded before they started to walk to the area where Eunseo pointed.

Meanwhile Jimin, he started kneeling beside Eunseo and Taehyung.

“Does it hurt so much?” Taehyung couldn’t stop worrying. Eunseo smiled a little and she didn’t realise it. 

“It’s just stings.” She answered softly. 

“You can lean on me.” Taehyung brought her head to put on his shoulder as Jimin was ready to heal her and she didn’t complain, too weak to say anything.

“You know it will take so much time to heal this deep wound. Your wound couldn’t heal fully with my power. But I’ll try… so take a deep breath.” Jimin smiled.

Eunseo nodded and took a deep breath, while Taehyung held her gently as he caressed her hands.

“What’s making you hurt?” Jimin asked, as he was healing her wound with his hand, Eunseo started telling them what happened as if she knew they wanted to know. 

“I saw a bright light as soon as I got into the cave. So I followed the light, then I found it was from this golden stone.”

She took a deep breath before continuing. 

“I quickly pulled it out, but it’s hard so I used my bow to break the rock that buried the golden stone. Once the rock started to crack, I felt the ground shaking, but I kept pulling the golden stone, still it wouldn't come out. Until something strong pushed my body, I fell with my leg cut by the sharp rock.”

“It's so hard to take the golden stone. It seems the golden stone could be removed only with the chosen one.”

                                                **************************

Meanwhile Namjoon and the other members were walking towards the source of light they saw where Eunseo showed. They were getting closer until they finally arrived, they were standing right before the stone. Jungkook quickly touched the stone and tried to pull it out, his jaw clenching, his muscles showing but still he couldn’t pull the stone.

“It’s stuck.” He sighed.

“Let me try.” Jin took steps closer and tried to pull the stone, he used all his power, his face reddened, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead, yet he couldn’t pull the stone.

Hoseok and Suga were looking at each other, signaling that they should try too.

“You first hyung.” Hoseok said and Suga quickly pulled the stone, but gave up a minute later, hands up in the air.

“I can’t, you go try.” Suga shakes his head. And Hoseok quickly came forward to pull the stone, and failed.

Until finally it was Namjoon's turn, he took a deep breath before he touched the stone, he started to pull the stone. In a second, the golden stone was easily removed from its place.

Everyone was gasping at the moment.

“How could you?!” Jin gasped loudly, widened his eyes almost to pop out.

Jungkook could only clap, Suga only froze as well as Hoseok.

Suddenly there’s a bright light coming from the hole behind the place where the stone was taken.

The light becomes brighter, it makes them close their eyes with their hands.

Namjoon being the only one who took closer to see the light, he squinted his eyes as his hand reached the rocks that buried the light, he gripped to the rocks, crashed it with his robotic hand.

The light became brighter and brighter until it was full of light in the cave, they closed their eyes until the light totally disappeared, revealing the thing they've been searching for. 

"That's…. " Hoseok was stuttering as he saw a black weapon attached to the rock, the black saber meteor.

Namjoon slowly and carefully grabs the black saber. He took the blacksaber easily, but as soon as the black saber was removed from the rock. The cave suddenly started to shake incredibly. The rocks in the cave started to fall, they all could feel the whole cave shaking, it’s like the cave was about to collapse.

“We have to get out of here!” Namjoon yelled as they started running towards the entrance.

Once they’re outside, they can see how much the meteor is falling. They hit the ground like a raindrop. Hoseok quickly pulled his blade and made a barricade circle to protect them all from the meteor rain.

“Come closer, We’ll teleport to the ship.” Jin said, making a signal to come to him with his hand.

“How about Taehyungie-hyung?” Jungkook asked before he came closer to Jin.

“I’ll come back here after I send you all to the ship.” He answered.

They all came closer to Jin, and that’s when Taehyung came out from the cave with Eunseo on his arm, and Jimin was running behind them. All of them screaming in syncron, calling out their name to quickly come to them.

“You guys come here! we're about to teleport.” Jin loudly said due to the heavy meteor rain.

Jimin and Taehyung with Eunseo on his arm quickly lean on Jin, grabbing any part of his clothes as well as the other members so Jin could take them together.

Chapter 6 - Dioch

There she is again, the beautiful woman.

She could feel she was flying, looking at the beautiful woman smiling at her, standing on the ground. A bright light was surrounding her, making her squint her eyes too hurt to see the light.

“You will meet him for sure..” The beautiful woman said and she felt she was becoming lighter and lighter, flying in the air as the bright light started coming to her, it started to hurt her eyes, suffocating that she couldn’t breathe.

She wanted to cry.. It hurts so much..

“You will meet him, darling..” The woman's voice kept repeating, it getting louder. The light started squeezing her, it was suffocating her. The pain on her body became unbearable.. It hurts.

“Please…” She tried to cry out and struggle but the light only squeezed her more..

Until she heard a man's voice as if calling for her. His voice is getting closer and closer.

Once she opened her eyes, it felt like she'd just been saved from drowning. She could finally breathe.

“What happened? Are you okay?” Taehyung’s worried face was the first thing she saw.

“Are you having a nightmare?” he asked again.

Eunseo finally came to her senses that it was just a dream, a dream that always haunted her. She suddenly realized how close Taehyung's face was. She only nodded and quickly shifted and sat straight, looking away.

She was trembling though, the dream felt so real, the pain.. It was unbearable. 

“You’re sweating so much.. Are you okay?” Taehyung caresses her forehead to wipe her sweat with his hand but once she realises what he’s doing she catches his arm and throws it aside.

“Don’t touch me! You’re freaking kidnapped me here. Don’t pretend like you care. You just want to hurt me.” she yelled weakly, still trembling from her nightmare.

Taehyung sighed. “I’m sorry for taking you here. You can hate me all you want, but two things for sure, first, I am not pretending. I truly care about you. And two, I’m not gonna hurt you.’”

“Whatever, just get lost. I don’t want to see you.” She whispered again, feeling so tired and sick all of sudden.  Holding her knees, she wiped the bead of sweat that kept forming on her forehead. The nightmare, why she could feel the pain even after she had woken up.

Taehyung ignored her complaint, only focused on her pale face, her trembling state.

“No. Remember what I told you. You have to stay close to me no matter what.”

Eunseo just ignored him. Face down on her knees.

“You okay?” He couldn’t help but worry so he asked again. She still ignored him.

Taehyung sighed and took a seat next to her, patiently waiting for her to respond. But her body only shakes more and more, it makes him terrified.

“Please tell me why you are trembling?” He patted her shoulders again and finally she looked up, he noticed she looked so scared.

“Don’t fucking touch me!” She yelled frustratedly, she couldn’t bear the pain in her heart, it felt like a thousand needles hit her heart.

“Please just leave me alone!” She yelled again. 

She was a brave woman but one thing she scared the most, it’s her nightmare. The after effect is the scariest thing for her because, after she wakes up, she felt this horrible feeling, all of her body was in pain. 

“At least tell me what happened, so I know what to do.” Taehyung whispered, getting worried looking at her state, he didn’t move a single inch even after she tried to push him away, only scooting closer.

She didn’t answer him, because her energy started to drain out, not only sweating, her body started to shake uncontrollably, she started crying. It hurts so much.

Taehyung widened his eyes in fear and worried, he quickly turned her around, cupping her face so gently. 

“Why? Why.. are you crying.. Please tell me...” He desperately said. He’s worried sick, but Eunseo didn’t say anything. She only cried harder. He tried to meet her eyes, but she just was so unfocused and kept crying. So he pulled her into his embrace.

To his surprise Eunseo didn’t push him back nor say anything, only sobbed in his chest. 

“Please don’t cry.” He whispered, rubbing her smooth hair with his hand. 

And she started to calm, her trembling body started to stop. His touch was like a magic to her that could make her pain slightly fade away. 

Taehyung sighed in relief and hugged her tighter once he felt she started to calm down.

“It’s okay Eunseo, I’m here.. I’m here..” He whispered again, slowly caressing her back.

She didn't know what was happening but one thing for sure.

Once she was in his arms, she no longer felt the pain.

Her tears came to a stop.

                                      ******************************

After 48 hours in the ship, finally Bangtan’s ship is now landing on Awasis. Their next destination is to find the Blacksaber. Fortunately this planet is still in Dominus radar, he could still trace them with his power. That’s why they’re still in their human forms.

They didn’t split into teams since Namjoon, Jimin, Jin and Jungkook already saw the path so clearly on the video before.

They were now standing right before the cave, the supposed to be a place where the Blacksaber was hidden. 

The cave looked so much different from the video they saw. The cave right before them is so much bigger and darker. But they are so sure it’s the right destination. 

Jungkook, who was curious, walked ahead of them to see if the cave was okay to enter.

“Shit, we couldn’t get into the cave, the access was blocked by the rock.” Jungkook cursed as he stopped walking.

Jimin who was right behind him, curiously peeking through his shoulder. 

“Damn he’s right.”

“What should we do?” Hoseok turned to his leader right away as well as the other members. It's their habit, it’s like Namjoon is their problem solver in the team. 

Namjoon quickly scanned the area, studying the structures of the rock on the cave. Biting his lips, he was thinking.

“We should get into the cave without destroying the rock and without changing to our original forms. We have to stay in our masquerade as humans no matter what. If this spot is blocked we have to see another entrance..” Namjoon traces all the structures of the rock with his robotic hand. It was full of moss. 

“Well, I think this hole is big enough to sneak in.” Namjoon smirked as he found a hole on the rock, he turned to his members who were raising their eyebrows as they looked at each other.

“We couldn’t get through this. Unless…” Yoongi said as his eyes slowly landed on the newcomers.

“It’s me.” Eunseo said blankly. 

“Right! Eunseo could transform into a tiny fairy. She could get into the hole and get inside the cave. She has her shining wings. And also she’s the only one who could change freely. Dominus couldn’t trace her.” Jin was excited as it clicked his mind.

“I don’t agree. It’s dangerous.” Taehyung refused almost immediately. He definitely doesn’t agree with the idea. 

Eunseo rolled her eyes. “You think I couldn’t take care of myself?”

Taehyung ignored her protest, instead he faced all the members. “What if there's a dangerous creature inside the cave that’s ready to kill her.”

“Tae..” Namjoon wanted to speak but Eunseo was cutting him off.

“Stop your nonsense. I’ve been a fairy soldier for my whole life. You think I could die so easily huh? I could protect myself!” Eunseo sneered from behind him, raising her voice.

“Oh Are you sure you could fight it? You never came here. You don’t know what creature you would face. You only had your bow, Are you sure you could protect yourself?!” Taehyung quickly turned around to face her, mocking her. 

All the members of bangtan are only sighed. They all already know who Eunseo was, and ever since they were in the ship the bickering between Taehyung and Eunseo is something they used to see. They were so happy for Taehyung to find his soulmate back, but on the other hand, they also felt bad for Eunseo because Taehyung was already so protective and clingy around her. Taehyung should give her a time however Eunseo doesn’t know anything, that’s what they told him but he just didn't listen.

“You thought so low of our Queen before, now me. What is wrong with you?!” Eunseo stepped closer to Taehyung and glared.

Jimin quickly steps in to the two, afraid the fight will get worse.

“Stop fighting, it’s not time for arguing. So please keep your head cool. Eunseo, I’m so sure Taehyung is not thinking so low at you, he’s just worried. Am I right Tae?” Jimin stared at his best friend.

Taehyung quickly nodded, he became calmer. 

“And Taehyung, you have to trust Eunseo, and we’re all here to protect her. If something happens we will destroy this whole cave right away. Right hyung?” 

Jimin glanced at their leader and Namjoon nodded. Finally he sighed in relief, knowing Jimin said something he’s gonna say before. 

“Jimin is right, we would definitely do something if dangers come. If we have to destroy this whole cave to protect Eunseo, we would. If his troops or Dominus himself come here, we’ll fight them. It’s just that we have to make a better plan for the worst. This better plan is making Eunseo go inside. She didn’t have to stay long and find the weapons all alone, all she needed was to see if there was any other way to enter this cave, and some of us would search from the outside to see another entrance beside this place. Don’t worry Tae, I promise we will protect her if anything happens. Eunseo is part of bangtan, my family, I’ll protect her with my life.” Namjoon said and Taehyung only glanced at Eunseo with his sad eyes making Eunseo’s heart twitch for no reason.

After reassuring Taehyung so many times, Eunseo finally transforms into a tiny blue fairy. Taehyung and almost all bangtan members are stunned at how beautiful her form was. Until Eunseo came closer to Namjoon to get some instruction. All eyes stopped staring at her.

Eunseo was landing on Namjoon’s wide palm, facing the leader. 

“You have to see if there’s anything that could open the rocks. If there's a long leaf, button or anything, you have to make sure it doesn’t lead you to any danger before you pull out on them. And if you see any light that leads to another entrance, just come back to us and tell us the direction we'll find from the outside. Remember, if you see anything weird, danger alert, you should get out of the cave as soon as possible.” Namjoon said and Eunseo was wiggling her wings, telling him she understood.

“Now you can go, please be careful.” Namjoon smiled, slowly letting her fly out of his palm.

Eunseo was flying, her shining blue wings sparkling like a diamond. To everyone's surprise she was landing on Taehyung's shoulders and wiggling her wings. Taehyung was stunned for a moment because he swore he could see she was smiling. 

Before he could say anything, she was flying away, disappearing behind the rock.

Chapter 5 - Dioch

Half of the village is now being destroyed after an attack from Titans. Namjoon is now standing beside the queen, watching the ruined village, thankfully there’s no victims since Bangtan could save them in a right time.

“I’m sorry for all of this.. Because of us, he sent titans to attack your village. We couldn’t stay here any longer, he would send more of his troops and definitely destroy your land more, there will be victims. We have to leave this moon as soon as possible.”

“I’m so sorry queen..” Namjoon said again, looking at the Queen who was nibbling her quivering lips as she watched the ruined village, meaning her fairies are losing their hometown. 

Queen Leah shook her head, and looked at namjoon. 

“No, it’s not your fault, you’re doing your mission to save the whole universe. Don’t worry about my land. I will fix it, it’s my responsibility as the queen of the moon. You have to go and please... kill him.” The Queen said, looking at Namjoon.

Namjoon smiled and nodded. “I promise I will bring his head to you.”

The Queen smiled.

Namjoon was about to leave the Queen to inform his friends that they should go but stopped once he saw Taehyung approach them.

“One fairy should come with us.”

The queen raised her eyebrow as well as Namjoon. She wanted to speak but Taehyung cut her off.

“You and your people now know about this mission, that we found something in your land. We couldn’t just leave without knowing that our secret is safe with you. We should at least bring one of your fairies to make sure you wouldn’t spill anything.”

“Are you saying we are gonna say everything to Dominus troops? Do you think we are so low to spill anything to that disgusting creature?” The Queen whispered and glared at Taehyung.

“I wouldn’t say anything even if it cost my life!!” The queen raised her voice, but tried to stay calm.

Taehyung only shrugged. “We don't know."

"W-What?" The queen uttered in disbelief.

"It’s just fair if you let us bring the fairy with us.” Taehyung smugly said and suddenly grabbed Eunseo by her shoulders.

“And we chose her because she knows everything.” Taehyung smirked.

Queen Leah shook her head. “NO, I won’t let you take her.”

“I’m sorry queen, I think taehyung is right. We don’t know what might happen. We believe that our secret is safe with you even if it costs your lives. But what if he doesn’t want your life but your people’s life? Are you gonna stay quiet?” Jimin suddenly approached and said.

“So we should at least take her with us so you could choose who’s gonna you save? Your people or her?”  He continued, facing the queen.

The Queen yelled. “How could you put her as a hostage!”

Namjoon, after so much thinking and trying to understand the situation, he then comes to face the Queen.

“We’re sorry, but I think they’re right. we should take her.” Namjoon said, he honestly hates to say it but it seems his friends are up to something, and he trusts them so much that he would risk taking their side. The queen suddenly became so quiet, staring straight at his eyes. Namjoon tried not to shake his eyes, looking at her eyes became darker.

“And you too? Why are you suddenly changing? I can’t believe you could be this sly.” The queen leah looked so hurt, Namjoon felt a twitch in his heart, but he managed to retain his cold demeanor. 

“Sorry but this is the only win-win solution.” Namjoon gulped before he answered.

“We promised we wouldn’t hurt her, and you promised to keep our secret.” 

                                                   ************************

They were now flying back with the ship. 

Taehyung was taking out the blanket from their storage when Namjoon came to him.

“You owe me an explanation Taehyung. The queen hates me now.” Namjoon said, leaning on the open door.

Taehyung glanced at him and smiled. “I’m sorry hyung. I will tell you later when I find the answer.” He again went back to focus on the box of storage before him, opening the storage to find a blanket. 

Namjoon snorted at the obviously rude Taehyung, it seemed he’s so okay with what Namjoon had been risking.

If only he knew. Namjoon sighed, trying to stay calm, and decided it’s not time for him to be annoyed, he needed to know why Taehyung had to bring Eunseo. He believed Taehyung didn’t just take Eunseo to shut the Queen’s mouth. From the time when they were in Prisons. Taehyung had been acting weird. 

Namjoon took a step closer to Taehyung. “What do you mean?”

“I'll tell you later.” He answered again, not looking back but he could watch from the corner of his eyes, Namjoon was taking steps closer to him.

Taehyung felt Namjoon was watching him with his hawk eyes. Taehyung tried to ignore him but he’s just standing there, Taehyung felt so intimidated. He sighed, he couldn’t really hide it from his leader. And also, Namjoon would definitely figure it out himself since he’s so smart to read people and situations.  

Meanwhile Namjoon was patiently waiting for him to speak up.

“I can’t tell you exactly. But for sure, she’s Byul. My Byul.” Taehyung finally said after some time.

Namjoon widened his eyes, and couldn't believe the words coming from his friend.

“W-What? H-How?”

“This bracelet tells me everything.” Taehyung answered calmly, he already expected Namjoon would be surprised.

“The bracelet from your mom?” Namjoon was already standing beside him. 

Taehyung nodded, finally he could find a blanket and now he took it out from the storage.

“How?” Namjoon asked again, and couldn't really wait for his explanation. It's just too much to take.

“My mother once told me, when I wear this bracelet, I can feel the feeling of electricity through the touch of my soulmate. And I felt it from Eun seo just like I felt it with Byul.” Taehyung stared at him for the first time after Namjoon came to the storage room. Taehyung was dead serious and Namjoon only gulped. 

“B-But …. Does it mean that maybe Eunseo was your new soulmate, I mean maybe Eunseo is just Eunseo, she’s not Byul. You know Byul already …” Namjoon couldn’t complete his sentence as if he’s scared Taehyung would hurt again. Namjoon still couldn’t believe it.

“Byul's body is dead Hyung, and Eunseo, I'm so sure her soul is Byul.” Taehyung skipped the part where Byul's body is on the queen. He needed to figure out first what had happened so he could tell his friend without doubt. 

“But.. Tae..” Namjoon wanted to argue more but Taehyung only cut him off. 

“I know it might sound crazy because it’s only 100 years after her death. You might think It’s impossible because Eunseo is now grown up which means Byul reincarnates to be Eunseo maybe dozens years before which is not normal. She should be reincarnated at least 1000 years after she died. But as you can see I'm alive, hyung, a dioch. So I believed there must be a reason. And that’s why I need to figure it out.” Taehyung stared at Namjoon, there’s no slight doubt in his eyes making Namjoon couldn’t argue more, but he just needed to know how Taehyung is so sure about this.

“Why are you so sure he’s Byul Tae?” He questioned.

“Because as a dioch who couldn’t reincarnate, my soulmate throughout my whole life is only one. It’s my fate. I’m very sure she is Byul. I just have this feeling.”

Namjoon knew that as a Dioch, Taehyung had a speciality that he was never wrong with his instinct. When he was sure of something or someone that could bring good things or bad, he was always right. 

But still, he was afraid for the worst.

"But.." Namjoon opened his mouth to speak but Taehyung was cutting him off again.

"I know maybe you wouldn't believe this because heck I even couldn’t believe it. But.. I feel it, hyung.. Those feelings when I was with Byul are coming back, and the electricity.. It’s so clear.. “ Taehyung whispered.

“Please just trust me on this. I know what I'm doing hyung." He continued.

"I'm just afraid that someday maybe Byul with her body will come to you and you'll fucked up. I just don't want you to get hurt." Namjoon said softly.

"She won't." Taehyung smiled as he shook his head.

"Huh? W-Why?"

Because her body is on the queen leah. And I couldn’t feel anything with her. Taehyung wanted to say it out loud but he didn't want to make this talk longer, he's tired. Besides, he himself too didn't know why the hell this was happening. For sure, he believed Eunseo is Byul, that's all that matters.

"I'm just so sure."

Namjoon only sighed with his answer.

“Who knows about this?” he finally ended his questions, he chose to close the case for now.

“Jimin and now it’s you.. Maybe next minute all the members will know.” Taehyung sarcastically smirked as he glared playfully at his leader. 

Namjoon cleared his throat and blinked nervously.

“You know I couldn’t hide this important thing from them, you know how curious your friends are.” 

“Sure, you can tell them. It doesn’t matter.” Taehyung only shrugged and walked out, taking the blanket on his arms.

Chapter 4 - Dioch

“Kim Taehyung, are you okay?” Jimin rushed to his friend after the Queen released Taehyung from the cell and now he was standing before the palace. The blue fairy was standing behind him, ready to take him down in case Queen Leah wants him to be captured again.

Taehyung nodded and Jimin sighed in relief. He grabbed his arm to drag him to their other friends who’s waiting before the door. They’re all been waiting, worried for Taehyung. 

“You have some explanation to tell. What was that back in the cell?” Jimin whispered, voicing out the question that his friends want to know so badly.

Taehyung took a slight glance at the frowning blue fairy behind them. She suspiciously stared back at him.

“Later.” He mumbled and Jimin noticed the blue fairy so he nodded.

Taehyung managed to know that the blue fairy’s name is Han Eun Seo. They talked, despite the fact that she was still acting cold and harsh in their conversation, but still they were almost getting along before another fairy came to the prison to tell he was being released. ALMOST.

He is 100% sure that Eun Seo is Byul. There’s no doubt.. It just so clicked everything when he felt those familiar feelings, her eyes, and the way she was talking to him, somehow it reminded him to Byul. And the queen..

He doesn’t know why Queen Leah is having the same face as Byul. Well, that fucked up. But he was so sure there must be a reason for that and he needed to find out later.

“You okay Tae?” Namjoon patted his shoulder as Taehyung came face to face with him. Taehyung nodded to all his friends, receiving a smile from them. 

Taehyung noticed Queen Leah was standing at the back, between Red and Yellow fairy. Looking at her face still makes him weird somehow. She was just like a carbon copy of Byul, she totally looked so similar to Byul.

She glared at him, even the glare is exactly the same as his Byul. Taehyung sighed and took a step to the Queen. She cautiously stands straight. And the two fairies beside her quickly stepped in front of her, ready to protect their Queen. Taehyung just sighed, he deserved that she’s treating him like a threat. He quickly bowed at her, a perfect 90 degree.

“I’m so sorry... I shouldn’t touch you like that. I mistook you for someone else. I’m really sorry.” Taehyung took a big bow, facing her. Leah raised an eyebrow, she was so confused with the changed behaviour of the man before her as well as all of his friends. It made them really want to know what was happening to him.

The Queen cleared her throat, noticing Taehyung was taking too long to bow at her. 

“Well you shouldn’t touch me like that and I still don't believe you so please just take a safe distance from me.” She said sternly.

“I understand, and I’m so sorry.” He’s still bowing at her.

“It’s okay, put your head up now.” she said softening.

Taehyung quickly stood straight again and avoided her face, still uncomfortable to see that familiar face.

He stands back to walk to his friends. Hoseok hugged his shoulder and Jungkook patted his back. They really wanted to ask him what the hell was happening but they knew it’s not the right time.

“We will cover you all so no evils could detect you being here. I have ordered all my people to stay at home and my soldiers will help you to keep guard in some spots to see if anyone would come. And some will come with you. We don’t have much time so we need to move now.” The Queen ordered and every fairy started to move.

                                                   *************************

“Why are you following me now?” Blue Fairy, Eun seo frowned and stopped to turn to the man behind her, making him stop.

“Didn’t you hear what the queen said? We have to split into teams. And my team is you.” Taehyung shrugged as he started to walk again, passing her. 

“She said we could choose anyone. Why are you with me?” she yelled and followed him.

“You know this place too well.” Taehyung turned and smiled. A big smile she didn’t used to see. It’s just too creepy for her. 

“Other fairies also know this place.” Her voice softened, feeling goosebump with his weird-nice attitude. 

“I don’t know them.” Taehyung stared blankly.

“Do you think you know…” Eun seo frowned but cut off immediately.

“We know each other.” Taehyung just smiled again. 

He kept saying he knew her and she had no idea what the hell he meant. They just met in less than 24 hours and clearly it’s not a good term. Why the hell did he say that? 

The way he said so surely and so sincerely saying he knew her and she should remember him. It made her terrified and confused. But the part that she was so scared of was because when he got too close to her, she felt her drumming heartbeat as if it was about to pop out.

“Stop being so creepy.. And please don’t get too close to me or I’ll kill you. And for your information we need to keep our distance. I’m only guarding you.” She thought maybe Taehyung was just crazy. 

“Why? Are you afraid I’ll make your heart beat so fast?” Taehyung smugly said. It almost made her choke.

“W-What? don’t talk shits. Just stay away from me!” She walked, leaving him behind. Trying to hide her blushing. “For fuck sake it’s Queen order.” She continued as she kept walking, leaving the stunned Taehyung.

“Don’t talk shits! Just stay away from me!”

Byul used to say that to him when he was bothering her back then. The way she yelled so shyly was almost just the same as Byul. It brings back memories.

Now he was more sure than ever. He just needs to find out what is actually happening. And he needs to be as close as possible with her.

They were walking in the middle of a desert now and Taehyung kept tailing her behind like an obedient puppy. They’ve been searching for the stone for about an hour but still get no trace. Taehyung kept making conversation but Eun seo just answered coldly in a quick reply. He doesn’t give up, he promises to himself that he’s gonna melt her heart soon, just like he melted byul’s heart before.

Until he heard Jimin linked his mind, he stopped in his tracks to focus on what he would say.

“Namjoon hyung found it. We’re on the way back to the ship now to scan the stone. You guys can go back to the ship.”

Taehyung quickly approached Eun seo who was already far ahead. He grabbed her arm, gaining a protest from her.

“What the hell..” She protested and wanted to curse but he cut her off immediately.

“Namjoon found it.”

                                               ************************

“Hurry put it on the scanner.” Namjoon ordered Jimin who was holding the stone. They were already back on the ship. The fairies who came with them are waiting outside to guard them from any threat that might come.

Jimin quickly put the stone on the circle scanner as told. In a few seconds the stone changes color to be transparent. They both widen their eyes as they see there’s a small thing inside. It’s a chip.

“What the hell is that?” Jimin gasped.

“It’s right. This is what Louis hides.” Namjoon smiled in satisfaction.

Jimin couldn’t understand fully what his leader meant, he only stared confusedly at him.

“We have to destroy the stone.” Namjoon picked up the stone from the scanner with his robotic hand to put it on his right palm. Jimin watched in horror as Namjoon started to make a fist with his robotic hand and ready to punch on the stone. 

Jimin quickly grabbed his robotic arm, trying to stop him.

“Are you sure that we have to destroy this?” Jimin asked hesitantly. He’s not sure about his leader's decision. It was so hard to find that stone and it’s an important thing to lead them to find other clues. If Namjoon was wrong in making a decision it will be the end for them. 

Namjoon wouldn't be so reckless to make a decision. 

He remembered so clearly the words written on the rock in Dopere when he found Louis' skeleton next to it. Even it was so smudged by the sands and moss. He could read it perfectly. 

3 Stones. Shatter. Black. Find.

And just below the words there were pictures : 

Necklace, blade, hand 

In the next rock behind it there’s another rock that had writing ‘MOON’. >>

He knew from the clues he found that he needed to go to the moon. As he saw there a smeared line below the words 3 stones that pointed to the pictures of necklace, blade and hand. 

He thought for a moment until it clicked, that moment he was so sure that the three items, those were clues that lead to him, the colors of the stones were regarding what the necklace Louis gave to Namjoon, the color of Namjoon blade, and the color of robotic hand he has.

It seems Louis was expecting Namjoon to be the one who would find the weapons. Because only he knew about these clues. As soon as he figured them out he quickly told his team what he found and put a strategy and prepared to do this mission.

Namjoon so sure, from what Louis wrote, the chip is the key, not the blue stone. And he wanted him to crush it as the clue 'shatter'.

Without a second doubt he punched the stone with his robotic hand. Jimin gasped and widened his eyes in horror. He was still scared if Namjoon made a wrong move.

Meanwhile, Namjoon smiled as he took the black chip with his human hand, slowly and carefully.

“This is all we need.”

“A-Are you s-sure?” Jimin stuttered, still not believing his leader.

Namjoon just nodded and put the chip on the card reader next to the monitor screen.

At the same time, Jungkook came with Jin.

“Where’s the stone?” Jin asked

“He crushed it.” Jimin answered, pointing a finger at their leader.

“WHAT?!” Jin shrieked and Jungkook widened his eyes in shock. They started muttering something like why the hell he did that.

“Shh.. I’m working on it.” Namjoon just ignored their protests, frowning as his friends were being too loud, he couldn’t focus on typing something to put on his monitor screen. The other guys quickly shut their mouth in seconds and watched what their leader was about to do.

In a moment the monitor screen played a video of Louis walking in a green forest.

“We’re almost there.” Louis talked and faced the camera. And then he walked further into the forest. 

The camera started to film a big tree that looks like a dragon blood tree. And then it showed the ground filled with dead leaves. Louis wasn’t in the frame anymore.

“T-Borg, you don’t listen to me.” There's Louis' voice again and then the video starts to show louis’ face again.

“What is it, master?” T-borg answered. 

Namjoon and all his friends now understand that there were two people in there. Louis and his cyborg. His cyborg was recording Louis and their surroundings with his eyes. 

“You have to keep walking behind me, you need to record everything.” Louis said.

“Yes, Louis, I’m Sorry. But you walked too slow.” T-borg answered as he took steps behind his master.

Louis gave T-borg a playful glare and then he started fastening his steps.

They arrived in a big cave with vines covering it.

“Is it here, Louis?” T-borg asked as he scanned the area with his eyes, there was text that appeared in the video as he scanned the area.’Water 30 %. No living creatures detected. Light 70 %.’

The result was ‘Dragon forest - Awasis’.

“I’m gonna put this blacksaber in here.” Louis said. 

Namjoon smiled. It’s a clue. They have to go to Awasis after this. Of course it’s there. The Dragon blood forest is right there.

Louis and T-borg opened the vines curtains to enter the cave. The video began to show darkness for a few seconds before T-borg activated his torch in his head. The whole cave is now showing and it’s full of moss and a bit damp.

“Everyone who wants to fight that king of satans should find this weapon here.” Louis said as he took a blacksaber out of the sack bag he’s been carrying. Once he pulled out the weapon a bright light radiated from it. 

 It almost hurts their eyes as they feel the light as if coming out from the monitor screen. Soon the light disappeared in seconds, showing so clearly a blacksaber on Louis hand.

“He should be dead.” T-borg said, his voice echoing inside the cave.

“I know, but he’s not.” Louis whispered. 

“You tried hard, Louis. But you couldn’t fight him alone. He had millions of troops.” T-borg said in a stern voice. His tone never changed. 

“Damn.” Louis cursed and then caressed a big rock wall next to him, he turned to the big rock.  

“I should leave it here.”

Louis took one of the rocks in the cave to put the blacksaber inside the big hole. Then he put the rock back to its place to cover it, sealed it with his power.

The video ended. 

Namjoon glanced at every friend in the ship.

“Now we know what to do.” He stared at his friends and they nodded in return. But once they wanted to step out of the ship Jimin cursed loudly and made Jin, Jungkook and Namjoon stop in their tracks to look at him.

“Taehyung sent me a red alert. The titans are coming. They destroyed half of the village.”

Chapter 3 - Dioch

He felt his world spinning, yet he grabbed the door’s to get a close look at her face, he was so sure, and he’s calling out her name again, gripping the door too tight it might break in seconds. 

“Byul, Lee eun byul..”

The queen squinted her eyes and stepped closer to Taehyung, it made him cry. She looked exactly like Byul. She is Byul? Her Byul? He completely forgot about the existence of the blue fairy instantly, though she kept throwing a dagger at him. 

Bangtan members were stunned in their place, trying to digest what the hell was happening. They’re questioning is she really Byul? Taehyung's lover who already died 100 years ago? They’re too shocked to do anything and to say anything. They’re simply just watching. 

Taehyung tried to reach her face by the hole in his door, a tear escaped his broken eyes. 

He touched her cheek for a second, finally he could feel her soft skin again but..

He felt nothing..

 He wanted to touch more to make sure but his hand got snatched by the blue fairy before he could touch her again.

“Don’t touch our queen!” The blue fairy snapped, gripping tightly on his arm.

Taehyung feels electricity stings his body through her touch. A familiar feeling hit his heart. Taehyung blinked and froze for a moment. He looked at the blue fairy confusedly. He’s quickly pulled away from her grip as he’s taking a step back, feeling so confused and scared at the same time. 

W-What… W-What’s it? What’s happening?

A tear came out as he kept staring confusedly at the two fairies. Without him realizing, his body started to glow, he had changed to his original form.

The queen shrieked and widened her eyes.

“You’re not human!”

The blue fairy pulled out a bow from her back and stepped in front of her queen to protect. All fairies in the building pulled out their bow and pointed to every Bangtan member in the prison. Bangtan members already expected this to happen so they just stole a glance at their leader to see what they should do.

“What are you?” the blue fairy squinted her eyes at Taehyung. He couldn’t utter a single word, feeling his mouth being stiched.

 Namjoon had no choice but to transform to his original form. 

“Please put your weapons down. I promise we came here with no harm.” Namjoon says calmly, while looking at the Queen, showing his robotic hand on his left arm and a scar on his other arm.

The Queen widened her eyes, seeing the famous scar and that robotic hand.

She immediately looked at every person behind the bars of prisons. The total of her prisoners are 7. She suddenly becomes conscious as the realization hits her.

"Bangtan?"

                                                **************************

“Why are you all coming here? You’re not coming for nothing. Tell me what you guys found?” Leah, the queen, asked Namjoon who was quietly sitting down on one of the chairs in the palace.

The fairies got them out of the prisons and brought them to the palace since they knew bangtan was not a threat. Bangtan has been known as a hero who saved the whole universe. Every planet knows very well about their good deeds.

“I’m really sorry, we didn’t mean to intrude in your area. We masquerade as humans so they couldn’t trace us. Now we have changed. I’m sorry to tell you this but your people are now in danger.” Namjoon told her as he glanced at his friends who sat in the seat, all behind him. Bangtan is the biggest enemy of Dominus, he already targets them, the moon is not far from Dominus kingdom, in that distance he could trace Bangtan’s whereabouts only by their scents. It’s one of his powers.

“What do you mean?” The queen frowned.

Namjoon cleared his throat before he started explaining his purpose of coming there since he had no choice. They have changed to their original forms, their time on the moon is limited. He needed to find the blue stone as soon as possible or the evils would come to the moon and start a war. He wouldn’t risk every fairies’ life in order to find that stone. The best choice is to tell them the truth so they could prepare for the war and evacuate the fairies to the safe place.

Even obviously she already knew about the rumors about Louis. He told her again about him.

Louis was one of the right hand of Dominus. 

He’s actually against the dominus, he’s a spy in the dominus kingdom. He knew dominus was so strong since he was born. His power kept getting stronger day by day and it would kill himself if he didn’t throw his power to other things. So one day, he pulled out his 50 % power and kept it in the three weapons he had. Since that day, he’s become so powerful and his power couldn’t bring danger to him. The three weapons were The blacksaber meteor, The Lightning Bow, and The Devil Axe. With the power he had and the 3 deathfull weapons in his hands, he became the king who rules the whole universe. The universe was chaos, people who didn’t want to be his soldier would die in every minute.

Dominus is so cruel and Louis couldn’t just stay watching how cruel he destroyed every planet, killing people.

And one day, Louis was stealing his 3 weapons. Dominus lost his weapons, meaning he lost half of his power. Louis wanted to fight him but he lost even with the 3 weapons in his hands, so before Dominus crushed him, he ran away with his teleport ability.

He started to hide one by one the weapons on different planets. With his teleport ability he succeeded in hiding them and nobody knows where they are exactly now. 

“I knew it already, that news had been spreading like wildfire. He attacked Dominus, stealing his weapons and ran away. And it’s not only you who’s started searching for his weapons, everyone has. Especially the other evil creatures, they wanted to be another Dominus to rule this universe.” The queen quickly commented after Namjoon finished talking.

“That’s why we masquerade as humans, so Dominus couldn’t trace our scents, because he's been watching our every move ever since Louis' death. He thought we had them. He’s right though because we will have them in the future. We have to find it before anyone can. And I got a clue Louis is hiding something here, in your land.”

The queen seemed to stay quiet, processing everything he said before she finally spoke.

“Where did you get the clue?”

Namjoon shook his head feeling sorry. “I’m sorry I can’t tell you that.”

He couldn’t tell the queen because it’s risky. He couldn’t tell anyone except his team about his first and his last encounter with Louis. He suddenly remembered the moment he was with Louis.

When Louis saved him back then, he gave Namjoon a beautiful necklace. Namjoon remembered so clearly what Louis told him as he handed Namjoon a necklace. “Come to this place, when you know I’m dead.”

He was confused back then, he was about to ask Louis what he meant? And where did he mean? but he’s already disappeared. Namjoon could only look at the necklace on his hand, and it clicked his mind when he saw the blue ruby on the necklace, it only belonged to Dopere, the dark planet, uninhabited.

He only frowned as he questioned himself.

“He wanted me to go to Dopere? What does he mean he would die?"

His thought quickly interrupted once the queen Leah said something.

“We don’t have much time. I will ask my people to watch in some spots in our land to see if any danger would come and I will order them to evacuate the people in town. And you please complete your mission with some of my fairy guiding you here, I promise they will take safe distance from you.” Leah nodded, understanding the situation. 

Leah glanced at one of the black fairy to tell the situation to all her people and help Bangtan to find whatever they wanted to find. Once the black fairy went out to deliver his queen message, Leah couldn’t help but sigh in worry.

“Don’t worry we’ll protect your people.” Namjoon smiled reassuringly as he stood up.

“And I’ll help you find whatever you are searching for.” the queen smiled in return. The queen is ready to leave her seat. But a voice made her stop and glanced at the man who was calling her. 

“Before that, can you please release my friend?” Jimin speaks up from his seat, staring at the queen full of hope.

                                                      *************************

In the prison, Taehyung was left alone with the blue fairy, she was standing near the door to watch his every move. 

The fairies released all Bangtan out of the prison but him after he tried to touch the queen again by grabbing her wrist. Leah got mad and told the fairies to lock him up. She didn’t want him to be near her. She gave a command to the blue fairy to watch him and make sure he wouldn't run away. Even though she knew Taehyung is capable of destroying the whole building, she knew as a bangtan he wouldn’t do it. 

Taehyung sat on the floor, leaning against the metal door, facing back the blue fairy. As he didn’t want to make him more confused than he already was. 

He gripped the red bracelet on his arm, trying to find if it had been broken. 

Why the hell this bracelet wouldn’t work? Even after he changed to be a Dioch, he couldn’t feel anything when he touched his Byul. She was finally here, standing on the same ground with him, yet he couldn’t feel anything. 

He stared at the bracelet, lips quivering as he felt the feelings coming back. The misery, the loneliness, the feeling of loss. It’s like he’s losing his Byul again.

It’s too much. A silent tear coming out without him realizing.

“Why did you want to touch our queen so bad? Are you fucking a pervert?”

The blue fairy snorted in disgust.

Taehyung ignored her.

The blue fairy frowned at his silent response and how his shoulders slumped down. Isn’t he supposed to be strong? She wondered. As much as she despised that guy, she couldn’t help but feel twitches in her heart seeing him so weak.

“Are you o..?” she tapped his shoulder and only jumped in surprise as Taehyung quickly jolted up, standing up to face her in shock. Taehyung looked at her so shocked, as he felt the electricity again through her touch. What the hell was happening? Why did he feel those familiar feelings with this girl? 

He watched her face as he felt he’s drowning into her ocean eyes, little by little. Again. There's a tight knot on his heart, there’s a lump in his throat, he couldn’t comprehend what was happening. 

Why did he feel this way? Why did his heart feel like it was about to pop out? Why does she make his heart flutter?

The blue fairy froze at the sight. She wanted to ask if he’s okay? But those sad brown eyes filled with tears captivated her focus more than anything. She shutted her mouth almost instantly. She’s staring for a minute or more just to question why he’s crying.

“Are you okay?” The blue fairy finally stopped the intense staring as she came out from her deep thoughts. She couldn’t help but worry.

Taehyung gulped at her sincere tone. Another hit attacked his now soft heart. He’s still questioning why she made him feel like this? All familiar feelings he had never felt for one century are now coming back.

He gripped on his bracelet. Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. 

He took steps back as he gripped his left arm, silently making a wound with his power in the process as he kept taking steps back. He took off his bracelet and put it in his pocket secretly.

“My arm hurts..” He let out a whimper as blood started to come out on his white sleeve. 

The blue fairy widened her eyes as she quickly glanced at his now bloody hands.

"Shit.. What happened to your arm?" The blue fairy gasped and quickly opened the door with trembling hands. 

In seconds the metal door is open and without wasting another second the blue fairy is now standing just one step closer to him.

“Are you okay?” The blue fairy now held his bloody hand and watched the wound. 

“How did you get this? I didn’t even hurt you.” She bites her lips as she watches Taehyung just standing frozen, and doesn't say anything. 

Taehyung didn’t feel anything. It’s just a mere touch that he only felt. 

Without his bracelet on his arm, he couldn’t feel anything. Just like how he felt when he was with Byul back then. 

“This cut is so deep. Are you okay?” the blue fairy asked again in worry. Somehow she forgot he’s a strong creature. 

“I’m gonna wrap your wound with this cloth.” She again said as she pulled out a brown cloth from her pocket dress and ripped them with her teeth. She wrapped his wounded arm gently as she lightly blew on the process.

Taehyung didn’t pay much attention to what she said as he kept focusing on what his heart felt. He quickly pulled out the bracelet from his pocket. He really needs to find out. 

“Can you put it on me?” He said softly.

As he handed her his bracelet, the blue fairy frowned.

“This…” She looked slightly taken aback as she glanced at the item on his hand.. He raised an eyebrow in question.

“Why?” He wonders why she was stunned.

“Nothing..” The blue fairy shakes her head as she takes the bracelet carefully.

As soon as she put the bracelet on his arm, feeling her touch on his skin, all those feelings hit him again, all at once. His heart burst out from beating so fast.. He stared at the beautiful face before him. He gulped down, finally completing the unsolved puzzle.

He was so sure..

This girl.. is Byul.

Chapter 2 - Dioch

"It's two hours more before we could finally land on the moon." Jin speaks through the microphone, his voice echoed inside the ship. He is sitting in the driver's seat, taking control of the starship together with Suga. His eyes focus on the maps on the monitor to see the direction.

"Why would we ride this slow ship? We won't spend 24 hours just to go there if you just take us with your teleport ability. This ship is so fucking slow." Jungkook complains from his chair, his brows knitted, his eyes fixed on the monitor screen before him, his fingers are in battle to win the game on his computer. 

"Shut up Jungkook! You're the first one who agreed to this idea so you could play games for a whole journey. And you also helped us camouflage as humans. Are you not sincere enough to help us?" Jimin speaks from behind him. 

"I just didn't know this ship would be this slow. It started getting on my nerves." Jungkook pouted.

“Well I like this ship.” Jimin said with a smirk.

Jungkook has the power to change every creature to be another creature. His power could change them only for a while though. He couldn't change a weak creature to be a powerful creature. He could only change the stronger to be a weak one. 

And also he couldn't change the creatures who have so much power. That's why Bangtan members tried to hold his power and hide them so much that they have to hold their emotions, so Jungkook could change them to be humans. 

If one of them becomes so angry, so happy and any emotion that needs so much energy, they would be back to their original form. They were doing secret missions and they couldn’t get caught.

Jungkook didn’t change himself to be a human, because he is half human, he just needs to hold his power. He was an active guy who was always doing something in 24 hours. Usually, he would practice, go hunting and or swimming in the lake near their base. That’s why he’s just bored since he just sat there on the ship for almost 24 hours without doing anything. He’s bored to death. 

Now he’s only facing his monitor screen, playing games. Jungkook pouted, feeling so annoyed since everyone seems like they’re enjoying this, but he’s not at all. Suga saw Jungkook mumble ‘damn my ass is hurt’ from his monitor.

"Well, My ass is so fucking hurts too since I have to sit here and control this shit."  Suga frowned, he said it through speakers who make everyone feel bad because he's the one who was working hardest.

Jungkook shuts his mouth immediately, feeling guilty. But in a second he mumbled again.

"Why should we bother to spend hours if we could just go there in the blink of an eye. We could find the stone and go back to our land fast." 

His friends are humans now, but Jin has good ears even without using his power he could hear it clearly. He quickly speaks up as Jungkook keeps mentioning his ability.

"Yah! How could I bring this ship with teleportation? Do you think I could embrace this huge ship with my two arms? Who do you think I am? A titan? And did you forget that we have to go to many places, not only the moon. It could be the places I never had visited before, so how could I bring you there?" Jin yelled through the mic, his loud voice from the speakers made everyone cover their ears. 

Jin doesn't care, he just pointed out the truth, if he would use his power he should bring this ship too because they need to move to another place which probably he never visited before. His teleportation is useless if he doesn't even know what the place looks like. And also it’s secret mission, they need to leave traces as if humans were visiting their destination, not Bangtan.

Finally Namjoon sighed and stepped out to calm down his friends. 

"Jungkook, you should be grateful you're not the one controlling this ship. Be thankful for your hyung." Namjoon looked at him in disappointment. Jungkook looked down feeling embarrassed and guilty. He quietly nods and mumbled sorry.

"We ride this ship for a reason. We didn’t even know what places we would visit next after the moons. We masquerade as humans so they couldn't trace us. It's a secret mission, I thought you knew this so you helped us." Namjoon sighed, he repeated the obvious reason just to calm down his friend.

"I know, I'm sorry I'm just tired." Jungkook says feeling bad and sorry for being such a brat.

"You're tired because you lost in all the games you played." Jimin voiced out, mocking at him only made Jungkook turn around and glared at him.

"NO Midget! I won once!" 

Jimin only snorted from behind and Jungkook only stared daggers before he went back to his games. 

A little fight is normal for them, they're been living almost for a century. They had ups and downs just like any other team. They have their own way to make their bond keep stronger so even a big storm wouldn't make them crumble.

The ship kept moving closer to the moon. Everyone had been so loud, talking about everything they had in mind. No one noticed how quiet Taehyung had become. He started sleeping the moment they entered the ship. Everyone thought he was just too tired because he didn't get sleep for days. No one knows that he actually feels so scared and restless somehow.

                                              ***************************

The boys finally land on the moon. The moon is inhabited by wing fairies. They are pretty sensitive to outsiders. So the boys chose to land their ship far from the area where fairies live. They chose to search for the stone in a desert area. They quickly get off and split up carefully to keep hidden. Jimin, Hoseok, and Jungkook. Jin and Namjoon. Meanwhile Suga with Taehyung. 

They splitted the team for a reason. Jimin, Jin, and Taehyung, having elf’s blood in their veins, the three of them have an ability to connect their minds, so if one of the teams was in trouble they could tell the other teams right away. This power only needs a little energy, so their scent wouldn't come out.

Taehyung and Suga are walking far from the ship. They were in the middle of the dead forest, the black trees all around them and a white sand in their feet, their black boots had gone dirty long ago. 

They checked every tree they passed to see if the stone was there. They walked for quite some time until Suga stopped in his tracks to sniff the air around him that felt too familiar. The scent is so vague since he didn’t use his power now, but It’s enough to click in his mind. 

Suga detected someone's presence, he couldn’t tell what creature he/she was. Suga gave Taehyung code with his eyes and Taehyung took the hint almost quickly. 

They both looked around to see if anyone was approaching. But no one was around. They walked cautiously, feeling the presence so strong and getting closer. 

And finally, a girl jumped from nowhere and stopped right before them with a bow pointed right on both of their necks. She is a wing fairy.

“Who are you? What are you doing in our land?” that girl throws them with murderous glare.

At the same time, Taehyung heard Jimin's voice.

'We were surrounded.'

And not long after that, Jin's voice also rings in his head.

'Damn, they caught us.'

Taehyung should care about them and quickly find a strategy to face this situation, but the only thing he did was staring right through her sharp eyes, the girl who pointed the bow at them.

He felt his heart flutter.

                                                  ********************

"This is not the first time humans entered our territory, none of them had a good intention. They just came to destroy our land. What do you want now? Why did you splitted into teams? Are you plotting something?" The fairy girl with blue dress glared at every boy behind the prisons. The other three fairies were also glaring at the boys as if trying to make them cower. 

The fairies put them into different prisons. Jimin, Suga, Namjoon’s prisons are facing Taehyung, Jungkook, and Jin. Meanwhile Hoseok is in the back of their prisons. He couldn't see what's happening but could hear clearly what the fairy girl said.

Namjoon already told them the strategy if they would be caught like this Beforehand. They have to pretend to be human no matter what and pretend to be scared so the fairies would leave them alone. And when the fairies are gone, Jin would save them one by one with his teleportation ability. They kept looking down, hoping the fairies would quickly leave.

Meanwhile Taehyung, the only one who stared back at the girl with a blue dress with his intense gaze, made the other members curse secretly. They thought Taehyung forgot about their strategy but no, he didn't forget it at all, he just couldn't take his eyes off of her ever since the blue dress fairy appeared. 

Ever since he and suga got caught with her, he only froze. As if being hypnotized he only kept quiet as she ordered men fairies to take Taehyung and suga. He didn’t even fight back when they forcefully grabbed his arm and dragged him away. All he did was stare at her. He didn't know why but it felt like she's a magnet and his eyes were an iron, she pulled his attention completely and he couldn't back down.

The blue dress girl felt the intense stare, she ran to his door and punched the metal door angrily.

"What do you want?" She snapped, Taehyung shocked, taking a few steps from the door. He was so surprised with the sudden closeness. He felt his heart beating fast instantly.

The girl frowned looking at Taehyung's red face. She thought he was scared of her but why did he keep staring at her with that intense look. She was annoyed and wanted to come closer to his door again but stopped after another fairy put her hand on her shoulder to calm her down, at the same time a fairy with a red dress came into the building.

"Queen Leah is here.” The red dress fairy walks into the hallway. Every fairy steps aside and stands in a row to welcome his queen including the blue dress fairy. Bangtan members looking up at the door curiously, they never met the queen of this moon. The red dress fairy steps aside to let their Queen enter. She’s wearing a long white floral dress with a flower on her head. All fairies here are so beautiful and the queen, she’s more than beautiful, a goddess. All eyes were on her as if they’re being hypnotized with her beauty.

But Taehyung didn’t even throw a single glance at the queen, he still can’t take his eyes off of her, the fairy with blue dress. Until the queen speaks.

“Well, I heard some intruders came into our lands? So tell me…”

As soon as Taehyung glanced at the queen, he froze. 

He couldn’t hear the next part of what she said. His heart was beating faster. He couldn’t help but call out her name, make the queen stop talking and everyone turned their attention to him. 

“Byul.”
