Risky Masquerade

"That's great news. Thank you so much!", Seokjin spoke on the phone, relief washing over him, like rough waves hitting the rocks at dawn.

"The Neurological Department has ascertained that the brain disease is not communicable.", he informed his task force, "However, that doesn't mean that we are out of danger. It is imperative that the residents of Do-bong stay at home to keep themselves safe.", he continued.

"Well, its bad news disguised as good news.", Jungkook sighed just as Yoongi walked into the facility. He looked sleep deprived as usual. But it was necessary to pay heed to the fact that his profession wasn't the best; it had its hazards.

"Good morning, Yoongi!
How are you?", Namjoon greeted the exorcist who flashed a small smile.

"Hello. I am very well, thank you.", he answered quietly. "I hope the epidemic thing is fine now.", he faced Seokjin who nodded.

"Yes, it is. But we musn't let our guard down. Anything is possible.", he remarked. "When must we begin with restoring peace to the Red Palace?", he asked.

"I visited the palace this morning. I think we may begin in the afternoon.", Yoongi spoke.

"That's splendid! I'm sure all the patients of the disease will recover when we appease the spirits of the Red Palace.", Namjoon smiled. "Do-bong will become a peaceful, uneventful town again", he joked.

Yoongi smiled at the task force who seemed to be bubbling with energy.
But what his expression hid,
if they only knew.
