Red Lips Always Lie vol.3 [Bts fanfiction]

𝚇𝚇𝚇𝙸𝙸

          The Council meeting lasted for around two hours. Magnus told us about a bunch of other human villages that the Dark Lord has attacked and we discussed the possibility of warning humans about the war that is coming up. However, in the end, we decided that it's better if we keep them out of it a little bit more. There is no need to stir up things. Maybe we can find a way to fight back Tae San without transforming it into a nationwide crisis.
          Kicking the shoes off of my feet, I sigh and throw myself on the bed, groaning when the mattress feels like a rock under my bones. Everything that happened with the Magic Diary left me exhausted. I wish I could just go to sleep. But I can't. Not since I noticed the name of a very special village on the map. Llyne. The name of the village I once grew up in. Seeing it made my knees tremble. Because I fell in love with the people that lived there. Everybody was so kind and, growing up, I learned how to love that side of humanity. How to appreciate it. I learned to live with it. And once I got used to it, the Underworld felt strange. All that malice and terror that filled the realm to the brim left a sour taste in my mouth. And, suddenly, I wanted to go back to the only place in the whole Universe where I felt accepted. Where two humans raised me as if I was their daughter, regardless of my nature. Those two people loved me from the bottom of their hearts. They probably aren't alive anymore. But just thinking about them makes me relax. It brings a smile to my face.
          Jungkook enters our room too and closes the door behind him. I sigh and turn on my back, pressing my cheek on his chest when he lays down beside me. For a moment, none of us says anything. We stay like that. We just exist.

Jungkook: *he sighs* I'm so tired.
Isabelle: *I nod and lift my head from his chest* Try to sleep. *I say and caress his forehead*
Jungkook: I can't.
Isabelle: *I frown* Why?
Jungkook: I'm too tired.
Isabelle: *I scoff and place my head back on his chest* I know the feeling. *sighing, I draw circles on his chest and try to change the subject* Have you ever heard of Llyne?
Jungkook: Llyne? *he asks and hugs my waist*
Isabelle: Yes.
Jungkook: It sounds somewhat familiar. Why are you asking?
Isabelle: I can't sleep either. And I was wondering if you would like to go on a walk with me. I don't think it's too far away from here.
Jungkook: *he suddenly tenses up* Wait! Are you talking about the human village?
Isabelle: Yeah. *I answer as I sit up* Is there a problem?
Jungkook: *tilting his head, he sits up too* You heard Magnus. We shouldn't warn humans. It will only scare them.
Isabelle: *I shake my head* But I'm not going to warn them. It's been an eternity since I visited Claecynthia and... *I look away as I bite my lip nervously* Llyne was the village where I grew up a long time ago. *I say and play with my hands in my lap* I can't remember the exact place of the house, but I want to see if anything has changed.

          Jungkook nods and doesn't say anything. For a good minute, he stares into a blank spot without even blinking. I'm not sure if he's breathing. He then sighs all of a sudden, making me wince.

Jungkook: Llyne... *he whispers* I don't know, Isabelle.
Isabelle: *I frown* If you don't want to come with me, just say it. I'll go by myself.
Jungkook: It's not that. It's just. You'd better stay away from that place. They aren't good people.
Isabelle: I spent a few good decades there. I grew up among those people. Why are you trying to lie to me?
Jungkook: I'm telling the truth. Those people used to be kind. They are now... pretty unwelcoming.
Isabelle: *I scoff* Now you made me even more curious.
