"Seokjin!", you whimpered, "I don't know what's going on.", your body shook heavily as you cried , "Please do something."

Seokjin closed his eyes, nails digging into his palms as he stood there powerless, helpless.

When you fell on the ground, still sobbing, he immediately went to your side, hands hovering over your sides but never touching them.

"Y/N, we shouldn't be meeting", Seokjin whispered, heart heavy, breathing uneven, "I had warned you."

Your red eyes snapped at him in disbelief, "You know something, don't you?", grabbing his arms you begged, "Please tell me what's going on before I loose my sanity. Suddenly I'm prohibited from entering the palace. I'm not able to reach Jungkook, feels like I haven't seen him in ages!!"

Seokjin dragged, exhaled and prepared himself to give you out the intel he had got from one of his men, "Y/N, just listen throughout before saying anything. I'm not sure about how much of it is true but...", he inhaled sharply, "I think Mr. Bong is plotting against us. He's trying to prove that you and I are having an affair, directing it to royal treason. I believe that's the reason we're prohibited from entering the palace."

You froze.

After regaining somewhat composure, you blurted out the first question that came your mind, "What about Jungkook? Does he believe this?"

The question that kept Seokjin awake at the midnights, that one question that he dreaded had been asked and that too by you.

You didn't miss the beat of silence, Seokjin pursued before answering.

"I-I don't know Y/N", he voiced out in concern and uncertainty, "I haven't been able to reach him either. And I'm finding it difficult to figure out the reason why he hasn't reached out to us. He's the king, nothing goes above his order. I wonder if it's his order to forbid our entry into the palace", he looked at you defeated, "If not then why didn't he oppose or reject?"

You didn't want your mind to sway with negative thoughts. Jungkook wasn't like this, you knew. Jungkook would never do this, you believed.

"Seokjin", you stood up, helping him to do the same, "Something's wrong. We need to get to it before it gets us."

Seokjin nodded, "It's dangerous Y/N, we have to be careful. Please don't do anything without informing me."

"Look out for yourself too.", you patted on his arms, "and let me know if you get something."

"Be careful on your way back.", Seokjin said, "I can go with you if you want."

You shook head, "Be safe. Meet me tomorrow here."

"Okay. you to be safe."

Giving one stern look with those bloodshot eyes, you said, "Don't doubt Jungkook, we both know who's he.", just before turning and leaving.

"I-I think it's time.", Seokjin exhaled, voice still cracking as he was finally able to stop himself from crying.

Jeonghan gave him a sympathetic smile, masking the grieve he felt towards the former.

Taehyung stood still, unmoving, almost statue-like, offering no words because he truly didn't have anything to offer to Seokjin today or aptly anymore.

"I met with Y/N and Jungkook", Seokjin said, "They have been asking me about those dreams."

"They'll know.", Jeonghan sighed, "Did you ask them to meet you tomorrow night?"
