Kingdom Come

Chapter Eleven

(Not Edited)

"Rosé?" Lisa shuffled slightly, trying her hardest to ignore the cold metal wrapped around her skin, "are you awake?"

"Lisa? Go back to sleep, you couldn't sleep well last night-"

"I'm sorry," she cut off the goddess who's eyes only softened.

"I told you already it's not your fault that we're here."

"No- I-I know you said that already, but if I hadn't gotten that book then maybe we wouldn't be here right now," the Thai brunette looked up skightly, peeking through her messed up bangs, "he was after me, yet you're here with me."

"There's no use of feeling guilty. You did absolutely nothing wrong. Remember that, ok?" Lisa could only nod, curling into herself as the cold metal of the mesh nipped at her skin.

A knock resounded through the room, a wordless permission to enter the room," Hana, is that you?"

The door opened slightly, squeaking a bit as the hinges have yet to be oiled in a while. Hana's little head popped out of the other side, a huge smile across her face, "Hi! Are you gonna eat breakfast with me and my daddy later?" The little girl had also asked the day before, frowning slightly as she recieved the same answer she had previously.

"I'm sorry, honey, but I don't think we can." Hana huffed at Rosé's response, fully entering the room and sitting criss cross in front of them.

"Well, I guess I'll keep you two company until then. The more the merrier, right?" the little girl laughed, her brown curls falling down her back as she tilted her head, "my dad is still asleep right now and he won't wake up until later."

"How have you been?" Lisa asked. Her plan was to gather as much information about their kidnapper without it being too obvious.

"Swell! Yesterday at school, Liam told me he liked me so now we're dating."

"Already? Aren't you a bit young?"

"No, silly! I'm already seven so it's perfectly fine." Hana's gummy smile caused a soft giggle to bubble up from Lisa's lips, "but Liam said he can't come to school today, so I'm kind've sad."

"Hana, be careful, your mom and dad might catch you."

"I don't have a mommy." Rosé furrowed her eyebrows in question; Hana had said it way too casually.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"It's ok! My dad told me that he'll bring her back so then I can meet her," she smiled again, folding her hands together, "I can't wait to see her."

Rosé and Lisa exchanged looks before looking back at the seven year old who was now smiling quietly to herself in front of them. A somewhat large thump startled the trio as they all stared up at the ceiling, "Oh no! He's awake! I gotta go! I'll talk to you guys later, ok?" quickly getting up, she rushed out the door, closing it as quietly as she could before she was caught talking to her father's prisoners.

The clock's ticking rang louder than it was in the nearly silent room. In an almost suffocating atmosphere, a pair of twins stare at eachother, seemingly speaking to eachother, using only their eyes.

Jisoo sipped on her drink quietly while Taeyong sat back in his seat, arms across his chest. It seemed no one wanted to break the silence.

Releasing a sigh, Jisoo began first, "how have you been?"

Taeyong raised an eyebrow, but answered nonetheless, "I'm happy," the brother and sister locked eyes, intrigued by the conversation, "and you?"
