60- hopeless, hopeful

"You know, I don't really have a very clear image of Yn in my mind, I don't even remember her face." The guy whose name is Hoseok, sits beside Jungkook as he observes him read a book.

"It's a shame though, she was really so beautiful. Even as a child of 6, she was like a million moons in one place." He adds staring at the ceiling, Jungkook doesn't respond and continues digging deeper into the pages of this old book.

"I wonder what she thought when she was told Namjoon was by her side the whole time, as a carpet." Hoseok says running a hand in his hair strands.

Something strikes Jungkook's mind, he looks up to the think for a couple seconds.

How did Namjoon become a carpet?

You never told him.

"It would've been the end if he didn't escape the Kingdom palace that day, it's almost ridiculous how Abdul changed him into a magic carpet out of his amusement, but it served Namjoon as a benefit." Hoseok says staring at the brownish cover of the book beneath Jungkook's palms.

"He flew out and followed the palace into the middle of the desert, and stayed here to raise Yn. He really did fulfil his promise to Abba."

He says, looking at Jungkook's face now.

"But it feels weird that they're going to turn this place into a tomb now." He pushes his tongue in his cheek. "Yn's tomb, what a weird phrase. She was too young, I miss her even though I don't remember her."

Jungkook's heart skips a beat. He feels himself break into a cold sweat, his hands try their best to not shake in front of the other older male.

"The workers will arrive this week, they're trying to keep it real low for the public. They can't let anyone know about this place, or what happened here."

Jungkook's mind goes into a frenzy, an internal panic commencing inside. He doesn't know what to say, feel or think. He was having a credibility gap.

HE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS NEW PLAN.

Who was going to tell him about this?? What tomb?? When did they think of all this??

The chance is fleeting by for him now. He is running low on time, he has to do what he has been trying to do since the past week.

"Ay, I've been talking to you for the past hour, but it feels like I'm talking to myself." Hoseok looks back at Jungkook with an annoyed face, his eyes falling down towards the book again.

"What have you been reading since the past two weeks? This book looks so old, does it belong to your dad or something?"

"I never had a father." Jungkook says his first words in a while, closing the book with a thump before Hoseok gets to take a peek inside.

The older male falls silent, a bit taken aback at the sudden words. They almost made him regret saying what he did earlier.

"I'm so sorry, man." He says plopping back down on the pillow. "Forgive me for triggering anything."

"You can't trigger a thought that I don't give a shit about." Jungkook keeps the book on his desk, covering it with his tote bag as he runs a hand through his hair while walking towards the bathroom.
