Chapter 20

"No."

The answer that came out of Namjoon's mouth was just as you expected. You closed your eyes and let out a soft sigh.

"This is the only way. Let's just give it a try."

"No."

"Stop being so stubborn."

"Look little kitten. I'm not going to take the risk and end up losing you."

"Then would you rather have both of us suffer? In the end, one of us have to die?"

Namjoon parted his lips to say something but closed it back. He chose to remain silent as he tried to think of your opinion. You've got the point after all but he still wasn't willing to try it.

"It's worth a try," you told him with a smile, trying to assure him that it will be fine. He knew you weren't going to accept any of his reasonings to tell you it's a bad idea so he just gave in.

Namjoon was allowed to leave the hospital the next night. Seokjin and Min had joined to help him pack his things up and bring him home. Although Min was in his cat form, he still managed to help out in his catly ways.

You were obviously there to help as well but being extremely quiet as you tried to figure out how to tell the older two. For sure, you knew your brother would straight out say no to your idea.

And that was exactly what happened when you told him once all of you had settled in Namjoon's house.

"But oppa-"

"No buts, young lady. Do you know what you are getting into? You are literally letting that music to consume your heart."

"That's the only way to solve this problem. I don't want to risk it. Besides if I don't then Namjoon would be suffering. It's one or another."

Seokjin ruffled his hair in frustration. He didn't know what to do. One is his precious gift and another is his beloved sister. There's no way he could choose over the other but there's no way he could bear to see one of them suffer.

"It's Taehyung who said it. He's the creator of fate, right? I'm sure he knows what he's saying."

Seokjin let out a sigh and nodded his head. True Taehyung had always known everything. From beginning to end. However, he's just afraid that something might go wrong and the outcome could lead to a dreadful tragedy.

"Oppa... please. We should try. It's better than nothing."

Seokjin pressed his lips together as he tried to give it a thought.

"Fine..."

He glanced at Namjoon and Min who had been waiting for the two of you at the side. They didn't know if it was appropriate to join in the conversation. So when he glanced at them, they kind of looked less tensed and joined you two.

Min asked you to close your eyes and that's what you did. He mumbled some words that you couldn't understand. You were definitely curious and you continued to keep your eye close. It was only when you felt a light pang in your chest that your eyes flapped open.

You gasped for air and fell onto the floor on your knees. You clutched your shirt tightly because you felt the need to grasp hold of something. Seokjin knelt down beside you and worriedly glanced at Min.

"It's because this is a forced target. She's consciously aware that she's a target. That's why this happen. The pain will be gone soon but... it might get worse after hearing the flute. Will you be okay, child?"
