I was with Jungkook and Hoshi in the training arena not long afterwards, the three of us seated on the wall that we often sat on when we wanted to talk in private. We were discussing the events of the morning, and our plans for the future. Hoshi said that he had spoken to Wonwoo, who was happy to not only be getting rid of Danni, but to be promoting someone who'd long since deserved it. Wonwoo enjoyed making his soldiers feel wanted and appreciated, and according to he and Hoshi, the girl he'd promoted deserved this more than anyone.
"I'm actually really happy Yoongi gave that job to Danni," said Jungkook. "It means neither of us have to do it, Hoshi."
"No," Hoshi agreed. "We have plenty of other things to be doing, such as, what the hell are we going to do if Jong-In decides to attack using the rings?"
"I have no idea," I groaned. "Every time I think about it I shudder. That pain is unbearable, and the fact that it could happen again at any time is the worst thing about it."
The two of them looked at me sympathetically.
"Okay," stated Jungkook, "So... if we don't take into consideration what is realistic here, we have three options on what we can do for a short term fix to our problems."
"Three?" Asked Hoshi.
"Three," Jungkook nodded. "And two of them are only of help to You, Taemin-ah. It doesn't help Taehyungie or the others."
"What are they then?" I asked him.
"One, get the rings off Jong-In, which realistically speaking is our long term goal anyway. Two, retrieve the original bracelet from the bottom of the sea, or the river bed, or wherever it happens or be at the moment. And three, Yoongi goes back to the original woman who made the bracelet for him and gets another one."
There was a pause as Hoshi and I digested this information.
"All of those are awful ideas," I said, at last.
Jungkook scoffed at me.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence."
"Sorry," I smiled, "I just... number one is, as you said, our long term goal anyway, and number two and three are almost entirely impossible. Yoongi had that bracelet made so long ago, there's no way he'd be able to find the woman who made it again. And even if we knew where the bracelet was, what hope do we have of retrieving it from the bottom of the sea?"
"I don't know," Jungkook sighed.
As he spoke, there was a commotion at the bottom of the arena, and Danni, accompanied by four others, entered by the far gate.
"I forgot Yoongi told them they could come in here to discuss privately," I said.
"I better go and check they know what they're doing," Hoshi chuckled, jumping down from the wall.
