"What?! What is happening? Y/n! I'll go with you." Hoseok asked, panicking.

You looked at the grandmother, "Please take care of Taehyung." She nodded and closed the door when you are out from her house.

"Stay here, Hoseok." You said, not caring if the guards will think of you as a crazy woman talking to herself.

"No! I'll go with you."

"You have to inform the others."

"I have to accompany you, you can tell them what's happening Y/n with your magic!" You just wore a frown as the guards pushed you lightly inside a carriage.

You went inside with Hoseok following, you shook your head and just let him be. The guards sat across you as the carriage began to move.

Your wrists were tied and you knew it wasn't an ordinary rope, it can control your abilities.

"I'll remove the rope." Hoseok said and you shook your head. The rope can recognize its owner so it can't be removed.

You sighed and put your attention outside, not long enough the carriage stopped in front of the palace.

You were immediately brought to the jail under the palace and there are no prisoners except for you because they transfer the prisoners to a jail with a tighter security if proven guilty.

You entered the jail as the guard locked it before leaving. Sighing, you sat down, the jail is empty so you can't sit anywhere but the floor.

Hoseok sat beside you and held your tied hands, "What are you going to do?"

"We will see if someone will come and release me. If no one comes, you'll go and tell the members to do it since I can't use my abilities. Understand?"

He stared at you and sighed before nodding, "May I ask why did that happen to Tae?"

You smiled when the specter rest his head on your shoulder and didn't let go of your tied hands.

"He didn't follow his dreams resulting to the evil spirit within him to wake up and is trying to take over his body."

"What? Where did that evil spirit came from?"

"When they're born, there will always have an evil spirit inside them. And once they didn't follow their dream, the spirit will try to take over their body."

"Is that why Taehyung's attitude began to change?"

"Yeah and he didn't follow a dream that I think was long ago and it got triggered because I arrived."

He moved away, frowning, "Huh? What do you mean?"

"I have magic and it's in his blood since he wasn't surrounded by anyone that had magic, the spirit couldn't take over. But when I came, it got triggered."

"Do you... Know the dream he didn't follow?"

You were leaning against the wall, next to Taehyung's door, waiting for him. Minutes later, the door swing open and when he opened the lights, he jumped in surprise.

"You scared me!"

You smirked, "How you doing? Enjoying his body, huh?"

The expression on Taehyung's features disappeared and was replaced by a cold one.

"Leave his body before I choose violence."

"You should tell him that because he's the one who can make me disappear. I'm just desiring to have a body of my own. Oh wait!– The relic was already stolen by someone else from that Hoseok guy and he couldn't do it again unless he travels back in the past, right?"

He leaned towards you with a smirk, "So go and find that relic and travel back in time to get everything right."

"T-taehyung was supposed to steal the relic from me?"

You sighed and nodded, "He's blaming himself. You wouldn't die if he stole it himself but he respect you too much to not lay a finger on your things despite of knowing each other for years."

You two fell silent until your eyes suddenly glowed, sensing a presence of someone who shouldn't be here.

"Y-y/n..."

You looked at Hoseok and your eyes widened when his whole soul is glitching, you cursed and pinned him against the wall to stop his soul from being pulled by his past body.

His glitching became infrequent unlike earlier but you're slowly losing your energy, your figure is turning faint as seconds pass.

"Y/n? What's happening?"

"Your past self is around." The specter immediately got what you meant and remained in his place.

"A-are you okay? You're turning faint." He said, you shushed him and closed your eyes tightly, feeling your energy.

You froze as you slowly open your eyes when you felt his lips pressed against your forehead, his right hand resting on your back as he pulled you closer.

He leaned towards your ear, "Thank you."
