MATE OF THE MOON BEAST _JIKOOK (HISTORICAL) 18+

CHAPTER 60&61

       { TWIST: HEARTACHE }

The pains were second to none, the agony was slashing ferociously at his heart. The anguish was hellish, he fell deeply into abyss.

Immediately another twenty blades were released into his body, he lost consciousness, and his head went limp on his neck.

Chen threw his sword at the ropes he was tied with, cutting them off.

Jimin fell from the cross, landing roughly on the ground.

Felix and Hyunjin rushed to him, and just when they were about to carry him, order came from the dowager.

“Take him to the dungeon, his punishment continues tonight” she said.

“What!” Hyunjin started crying again as the guards took him from them.

He was dragged to the dungeon, and two guards rushed to the arena, bowing in front of the dowager.

“The rate of deaths decreased by 50” they reported.

“Of course it should, since the culprit got a taste of agony. The punishment will continue for days till people stop dying” the queen dowager replied and left the arena.

Chen smiled and followed her, then Yoongi did the same.

“What exactly did he steal in the town? Why is he refusing to say the truth? He’d die at this rate” Minho said pitifully.

“Something smells foul” Jisung replied.

Hyunjin stood and left the arena too, then he went to Jungkook’s suite and knelt in front of it, still crying.

“Please, save my hyung”

Felix joined him in kneeling, and Hoseok came over too.

“Stop begging, it’s useless” he said, and Hyunjin stood.

“What do you mean?”

“Can’t you see his hands are tied? Even if he’s the king, he has no say in this because it was written in the prospectus that anyone who breaks into border town to steal shall be punished. The rate of deaths in the city will keep increasing if Jimin doesn’t get a taste of agony” he replied.

“So…what do we do? I know you can help” Felix stood too.

“If he tells us what he stole, then we can go to border town to fix it. The deaths will stop and he’ll be free” Hoseok replied.

“But he’s refusing to talk” Hyunjin said.

“You know what? Go with Felix to the dungeon and try persuading him to talk, I’ll go to border town to consult godmother” Hoseok said.

“Hyunjin let’s go!” Felix pulled Hyunjin, and they ran along.

Hoseok was about to leave too when Namjoon joined him.

“Let’s go together” he said, and Hoseok held his hand.

They vanished together.

“I see they’re all trying hard to save him” Chen said from his terrace.

“It’ll all be in vain” Yoongi replied beside him.

                               †

Hoseok and Namjoon landed in front of the white house, but a powerful force threw them away immediately, and they flew to the white sand far from it.

“What’s happening?” Namjoon said as they both stood.
