29. Roses & Thorns

"Welcome to Level 7!"

Being jolted to a standstill quite suddenly, clueless as always, not knowing where they exactly were and it was murky overall. That stomach-churning feeling befriended them without showing mercy when their gazes wandered around for any signs of longing.

Pure duskiness had even infected the air all over.

"Argh!" was the sound of Moon's groan when she founded herself smashed hardly with something on the side.

Painfully opening her eyes whilst clutching onto the newly created bump on her forehead when she got hold of herself, everything now started to come into view which only worsened her expression.

A window.

"God! Are you alright?" Before Taehyung can reach to look after her, Jimin was already there.

Jimin gently removed her hand from her forehead to properly examine the swelling. He then himself firmly pressed his palm onto the area. Soft breath hit her face when he leans closer, cupping her cheeks as his lips moved to give slight blows.

That was it, and Taehyung had no say rather than staring at them with questionable eyes. It felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest. Confusion and anger infiltrated his bones. There was thunder in his thoughts, despair coursing through his blood, and a numbness clouding his eyes.

He tugged his steps back and turned his face to the side as he just couldn't withstand the heartbreaking sight.

He was drawn out of his conflicting, miserable trance when golden rays of light enlightened the place.

The glass windows which were making their vision blurry, wrapped with fog till now slowly visibalizing the outside view, awakening them to see hazy green flashes of light whizzing by, mottled colors ever-changing.

The surprise once again caught them off-guard.

A Train.

As Namjoon curiously glanced through the creamy walls of the window, the sky above was full of darkness with wandering coppery clouds. It was grey, unpleasant, and sombre outside with the heavens threatening to rain, deeply calling their troubled souls.

"It seems like it will pour soon," said Namjoon settling himself on the lower berth along with the others.

"Let's see where this train journey will take us, Bon Voyage!"  Yoongi heaved a sigh which he didn't know he was holding, taking a spot beside Jungkook.

"Huh? What's that?" Jin pulled down a mini silver trunk that was just lying desolated on one of the top bunks.

And when he disclosed it, a merry squeal escaped his mouth.

It was loaded with lots of food items.

In a blink of an eye, they all were taken like monkeys swooping on their stuff.

After satisfactorily munching on their food, four of them including Jungkook, Yoongi, Jin, and Namjoon had drifted into their peaceful, deep slumbers. The mild motion of the moving train lulling them to relax, and they finally got their much-awaited rest.

Meanwhile, Hoseok and Bee were engaged in their own conversation while chomping on whatever savoury they had.

Bee got confused when Hoseok chuckled all of a sudden.

"Why? Is there something on my face?"

"Yes, you've spilled some juice." Hoseok pointed in between his cute giggles.
