January 17, Sunday

Morning 8:00 am

Jimin was sitting in the living area next to Jin facing the steel door. He got out of bed to help feed the girls. Listening to the noises of pots and pans rattling in the otherwise quiet room as Wongyeong and Ingyeong made breakfast, Jimin was rocking back and forth, watching Byeol drink her formula. He was amazed by her tiny fingers that were wrapped around his finger as he held the bottle. He giggled at the faces she was making when he wiggled his hand under hers.

"She's so little." Jimin sighed as he looked up at Sinmu, who was sitting across from him feeding Bitna. Jin and Dal were still asleep, so were Taehyung and Eun-Chong, which was why it was still so quiet in the room. Sinmu wanted to let them sleep in. Everyone had a rough night and was feeling irritated. 

Jimin could not hear what Sinmu said after that because he noticed the constant red light over the door had just changed to green. Jimin saw it from his peripheral vision and turned his head to look directly at it. Byeol started fussing as Jimin pulled the bottle out of her mouth to point to the light. Sinmu yelled at him "YA! Give her back her bottle. What are you doing?"

"Green.. . . LLight.. .. the light is green!" Jimin stuttered, still pointing with the bottle as Byeol started to cry. Jimin looked down at the pup and quickly put the bottle back in her mouth. She immediately quieted down and started drinking again but her body jerked as she startled from a loud crashing noise from the kitchen. Wongyeong had dropped the pan to the floor as she hurried to unlock the steel door. HyunJo was standing there with a smile when she pulled it open.

Wongyeong grabbed his hands and pulled him into the room. The first thing she said was, "Is anyone hurt?"

"Some. But not too badly. How is everyone here?" HyunJo replied, not really giving a complete answer to her question. He started to pull his hands away, trying to maintain a respectful distance from his leader and best friend's mate.

Wongyeong wouldn't allow him and threw her arms around him, pulling him into a hug. She had been around HyunJo most of her life and considered him a dear close friend. "Thank you for staying alive, HyunJo. We can't live without you."

HyunJo blushed a little in embarrassment as Wongyeong pulled him into the living area and went to get him a cup of coffee. Ingyeong was cleaning the rice and scrambled eggs that fell to the floor. She stood up and tossed the paper towels into the bin. She moved out of the way as the two maids continued to clean up the mess and finish cooking breakfast.

As a healer, Ingyeong understood immediately that HyunJo was trying to soften the news. She turned to him and said, "We have been perfectly fine here. Who got hurt and how bad?"

"Deukshi, KeonHo, Jungkook, and Yoongi are all in the hospital with injuries from knives that were coated with wolfbane." HyunJo started saying. Sinmu gasped and stood up from his chair, still holding Bitna and managed to keep the bottle inher mouth.
