Love and Lies -- P.JM

37 - The Archives

LUNA POV:

The past few days have been...slow to say the least so I occupied myself with research. I had no idea who my parents were, or at least they hid most of themselves from me. I found a lot out actually... Mom's name wasn't Yuki, it was Haneul, and Dad wasn't Jiyoung, It was Minho. Shocker? I wish it were. I practically became numb to lies at this point. Mom and Dad met on a mission...where they were supposed to kill each other. cliché... but then they joined gangs and turned into The Shadows. That's all I got after digging through countless files and missions other than the body count of over a few hundred each.

I haven't slept much these past few days either... I just...couldn't. I stayed awake for a while, either down in the gym, punching out my frustration or glued to a screen or book, determined to find something, anything, about my parents.

Today isn't any different. I'm in the archives in the library, going through more mission files. There's a copy of every mission the shadows took in every safe house. Namjoon said it's for "good measure". I grab a file and glance at it. "Zeus's Wrath" I roll my eyes and flip open the cover and gaze at the photo of my father walking to the Acropolis in Greece. The next file is about a mission from Spain, and the one after that is from Italy. Then India, Russia, China, hell they even went to America.

By the time I went through nearly 30ish files, I felt someone tug me backward by the waist."I'm in the middle of something Jimin..." I say softly, looking at the cover of the file currently in my hands titled Project L.

"And I don't care Moon. You've been at this for hours, for days!" he sighs, pulling me against his chest.

"how'd you know about that?"

"You think I'm that dumb? Darling, you mumble when you read. It's adorable, don't get me wrong, but it also shouldn't be something you do at 3 am" he chuckles, tugging the file out of my hands.

"Yah...I was looking at that..." I whine

"too late, look at it later. For now, look at me..." he whispers, turning me around after placing the file back on the shelf. I just look up at him, not knowing what to say when he speaks up.

"Have you even gotten any sleep lately, Moon?" he asks, running his thumb gently under my eyes.

I just silently shake my head and step closer, tucking myself against his chest. He wraps his arms around me tight and sighs.

"We're gonna head to bed. No ifs and buts. You're gonna sleep...at least nap for a little..."He tugs me back to my room and lays me down before climbing in himself. Then he proceeds to koala hug me.

"Chim...I kinda need air to breathe if you don't remember" i wheeze out.

"R-right....sorry." he loosens his grip a little then rubs my side with his thumb as a silent apology.

I was about to fall asleep when I heard a shot ring out. Jimin immediately sits up, pulling me up with him.

"What's going on?" I whisper out

"Don't. Move. Stay behind me." he whispers back as he hands me my dagger and gun before grabbing his own and jumping out of bed.

I follow him silently as we make our way to the door and open it, making the shouts from downstairs clearer to us.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!"

"I'M SORRY'M SORRY OW OW OW"

What?

I head downstairs, silently following Jimin, as we head to the living room. When we get there, we're greeted by the sight of Jin twisting Jungkook's ear.

"What the fuck? Jin what are you doing?" jimin asks, easing up from his defensive stance

"This little shit decided it would be a fun idea to shoot a gun in the damn house to get our attention," Jin replies angrily.

"I SAID I'M SORRYYYY" Jungkook cries out as Jin twists his ear a bit more.

I just stand there half in shock, half in amusement at the scene unfolding. And thats when all hell broke loose.
