"What is this place?" The girl asks, looking around the area with awe.
A man wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a yellow shirt walks up beside her, a baseball cap on his brown locks. "This is SHINee world. A place where you don't have to worry about...
Ji young quietly walks along the path in the woods, humming a soft tune to himself as he does so. He has his phone out, messaging his other friends from his band. The sudden sound of marching brings his attention away from the phone screen and makes him look up. His eyes widen, nearly tripping over a limb in the process.
A huge group of soldiers were marching towards the red kingdom in the fields below. Panic courses through his veins as he turns to start running.

The group finished eating hours ago. They all now sat in the living room area, each finding a seat on the furniture available. Jonghyun and Key were sitting on each side of Ally while they all spoke to one another. She didn't really listen to anything they were saying, her mind elsewhere as she thinks up a plan. She glances around the room before discreetly standing up and leaving.
She finds herself wondering the hallways, the soft sound of her shoes hitting the floor below her filling the room. She runs her fingers along the wall, admiring the pictures on the stone wall. It was mainly framed pictures of BTS. Either group photos or individual ones. The further along she went, some other groups appeared on the wall as well. She assumes it's the many groups who come to this utopia to get some peace from the everyday life as an idol.
An opening appears in front of her. The glass doors sealed shut for now, showing the expanse of the kingdom. She walks up to the doors, reaching a hand out to test the door handle. It's unlocked so she takes the chance to walk out onto the small balcony. Her eyes widen to see the sight in front of her.
The place is beautiful. It was a small garden, built for the palace. All sorts of flowers were being grown. A few benches were placed throughout the garden, for whomever wanted to sit and relax amongst the flowers. There are trees as well. A few whipping willows, a perfect place to sit down and lean against on a hot day.

The sound of footsteps has her turning around, facing a person walking up to her. "I was wondering where you went. Somehow you managed to sneak off without us seeing." The red king walks up to her, seeming a bit intimidating at first. He reaches the spot beside her, his vision on the garden below. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
She turns back around, a small smile forming on her face. Yoongi was really a soft person in real life. She finally gets to experience his personality in person. (Despite how good he looks in the red blazer and black hair.) She notices a smile on his face but it fades to a frown, the sudden weight of the problems going on around them. "It doesn't seem like it's been nearly month since Onew Hyung went missing," he mumbles, his hands holding onto the rail in front of him.
"We will find him, Yoongi," she places a hand on his arm. "You just have to keep your head up. I was brought here for a reason and I'm going to find him."
The two continue to talk for a little while. He tells her about the pictures that lined the walks, telling her about the groups who have homes in this small utopia. She listens intently, smiling softly at the fact that the idols have a safe place. Some time passes, the sun starting to set in the horizon. The air seems to come to a standstill and silence fills the air.
A sudden sharp pain surges through ally's head, the same feeling she got back in the woods with Minho, Jimin and Hoseok. Her grips tightens onto the railing in front of her, trying to form words together. "Yoongi, you need to go warn the others." She manages to get the sentence out, stepping back from the railing. An arm wraps around her waist, startling her. She peeks her eyes open, looking up to see Key right behind her. "No need to warn us. Ji young just arrived. The enemy is headed this way."
He helps her stand straight, the pain not leaving her. It slightly subsides enough that she could comprehend the situation. Yoongi's eyes grow dark, his hand going down to a sword on his hip. For some reason, the girl only just now noticed it. "Take Ally and the rest of you leave. I'll take care of the army."
Her eyes widen, going to speak up to reject the idea. The idea of talking sends another surge of pain through her head, nearly making her collapse. Kibum nods, bending down to put an arm under Ally's legs and the other under her shoulders. He picks her up easily, heading inside. She looks back, panic written across her face as she meets the brown eyes of Yoongi's. He gives her a smile, gums on display. "I'll be safe, Ally. You have a job to do."
A few tears escape her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. She couldn't tell if it was from the pain or the fact that she was worried about one of her idols.

Screams.
That's the first sound that reaches the ears of the people who take an escape route from the red kingdom. Namjoon stands at the end of the line, worry pricking at his insides as he sees the fire looming in the distance. A hand rests on his shoulder. He turns his head slightly, his eyes landing on Jungkook. The younger one squeezes his hyung's shoulder lightly. "He will be okay, Hyung. Ateez is there to help him along with the many other soldiers. No matter how much the enemy tries, we know who will come out the victor."
Rm lets out a shaky sigh, patting Jungkook's hand. "I still worry. Hyung might be strong but the worry is still there. I don't doubt the battle." He lets go of the younger's hand then turns to follow the others.
Jungkook sighs, watching the white king walk around. He only hopes this will end soon. He looks back once more at the fires in the distant, sending a quick prayer. "Yoongi Hyung will be okay." He whispers to himself as he jogs to catch up with the rest.
