7 Husband, Who is The Real One | BTS

Chapter 17 - A Glimpse of the Past

Now that Y/N had a glimpse into the deeper threats surrounding her, she knew she couldn't confront her situation alone. She would need allies - but who could she truly trust?

After narrowly avoiding detection in the library, Y/N resolved to study the interactions between residents more closely for hints of hidden motives and sympathies. While keeping her newfound insights veiled, she looked to open lines of genuine understanding.

One evening during a lavish dinner, lighthearted talk turned to fond memories of adventure outside the estate. Y/N engaged Taehyung and Jimin in reminiscence, discovering in them carefree souls longing to experience life's beauty despite obligations keeping them confined.

After narrowly avoiding detection in the library, Y/N resolved to study the interactions between residents more closely for hints of hidden motives and sympathies. While keeping her newfound insights veiled, she looked to open lines of genuine understanding.

One evening during a lavish dinner, lighthearted talk turned to fond memories of adventure outside the estate. Y/N engaged Taehyung and Jimin in reminiscence, discovering in them carefree souls longing to experience life's beauty despite their obligations.

"Remember that time we sneaked out to the town festival?" Taehyung asked, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia. "We pretended to be lost tourists."

Jimin laughed. "And we ended up getting caught by the guards!"

Y/N smiled, but her expression quickly faded. "I don't remember that," she admitted.

Y/N shook her head. "I can't remember anything like that."

"Maybe we should go back to the town festival," Taehyung suggested. "It might help you remember something."

Jimin agreed. "It's worth a shot."

Y/N hesitated. She wasn't sure if she was ready to face the outside world, but she also knew that she needed to learn more about herself and her past.

Jimin: "We know you've lost some of your memories, Y/N. Maybe going back to the town festival will help you remember something."

Taehyung: "Yeah, it could be a good way to jog your memory."

Y/N: (Hesitating) I don't know...

Jimin: "Come on, it'll be fun. We can just pretend to be tourists again."

Taehyung: "Yeah, and we can show you all the cool things we did."

Y/N was still hesitant, but she knew that Taehyung and Jimin were trying to help her. She finally nodded.

"Okay," she said. "Let's go."

***

Y/N carefully weighed her options after the conversation with Taehyung and Jimin. While she wanted to learn more about her past, sneaking off the estate without permission could endanger both her own security as well as Taehyung and Jimin's.

She decided a more transparent approach was needed. The following day, Y/N requested a private meeting with Hoseok to discuss the issue. As someone she felt she could trust, she hoped he could provide guidance.

"Taehyung and Jimin have suggested visiting the town festival to try and jog my memories," Y/N explained to Hoseok. "But I'm worried about the risks of going behind your back. Is there a way we could do this safely and with your approval?"

Hoseok listened thoughtfully. "I understand your desire to learn more about yourself," he said. "Let me speak to the others and see if we can arrange an approved outing. I'll accompany you as well, to ensure your safety."

Y/N relaxed, grateful for his sensible counsel. A few days later, permission was granted for the three of them to attend the festival under Hoseok's watch.

However, as they were preparing to leave, Seokjin, Namjoon, Yoongi, and Jungkook approached them. "We've decided to join you," Seokjin said. "It might be helpful to have more eyes out."

Y/N was surprised but pleased. "Really? That would be great."

"We'll keep a low profile and blend in with the crowd," Namjoon assured her.

While Y/N appreciated their support, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease. She knew that the boys had created her, and she wasn't sure if she could trust them. She would have to be careful and always be on her guard.

As they walked through the bustling town, Y/N couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. The sights, sounds, and smells were familiar, yet somehow different. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had been here before.

Jungkook, who had been quiet up until now, spoke up. "I think I remember coming here once," he said. "With a group of friends."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the missing piece of her memory? She turned to Jungkook and asked, "Do you remember who you were with?"

Jungkook hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I think it was Namjoon, Jin, and... someone else."

Y/N's eyes widened. "Could it have been me?"

As she pondered the possibility, Y/N couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. If she had been with them before, what had happened to her? And how is it possible for her to have the memories of the real Y/N if she is just a replica made to replace the original Y/N.
