broken promise

"What do you mean she's not here?" Namjoon stated cooly, being faced with a panicked Jin after stepping one foot into the house.

"She's literally not here! Her phone is on the couch and there's a half eaten cup of ramen too. Taehyung just checked her room and she isn't there," Jin exclaimed, thoroughly distraught with the fact that Luna was missing.

"Hyung, there is no other scent besides hers, it doesn't seem like anyone took her, but I could be wrong," Jungkook flashed into the room, his eyes open wide.

Jungkook was terrified, it was now 9:13 at night and there is no sign of Luna in the whole house. It made him sick to think about the fact that someone could have her or that she could be dead.

Jin just nodded at Jungkook, not verbally giving any confirmation of hearing him. His gaze was cast downwards and his eyebrows were knitted together as if he was thinking.

"Shit," Namjoon cursed under his breath, stepping further into the house, a hand running through his hair in attempts to calm himself down.

Namjoon will admit he's worried. Maybe leaving her alone was a dumb decision on his behalf, but he was beginning to go into a panic of his own due to the fact that it could ultimately be his fault that Luna was now missing.

"Maybe," Namjoon started, getting the attention of the others, who were all grouped in the living room, "maybe, we need to just think rationally for a second and just try to think about where she could have gone,"

Everyone nodded, agreeing that panicking will get them nowhere, but they couldn't help themselves from allowing anxiety to build up inside of them. Jungkook and Taehyung looked close to tears, Jimin was completely silent and wearing a solemn expression, Hoseok was clinging tightly to Yoongi, who wasn't making eye contact with anyone, while Jin was biting his nails, his eyes darting all over the room as if she would magically materialize out of thin air. Namjoon, however, was trying to remain calm, he knew that him freaking out would be bad news for the rest of them. So they began discussing all different sorts of outcomes, each one depressing them more than the last.

Luna walked back, quite slowly, back towards the house on the path that she had taken hours before. She ached all over but the only thing that mattered was that Ryland was safe and he would start healing soon enough. She adjusted her hood slightly before opening the door quietly and stepping inside soundlessly. Luna couldn't deny the fact that she was freezing, resisting the urge to chatter her teeth together. She then closed the door silently and sighed, she felt a little at ease now that she was safely back inside a nice warm house. She could hear footsteps and she sucked in her breath, not ready to face whoever was behind her. Soon the air was broken due to a now firm voice speaking up;

"Where the HELL have you been?"

Luna turned around, lowering her head so that her face couldn't be seen, but she sure could feel everyone's eyes burning into her.

"Again, let me repeat, where the hell have you been?" Namjoon asked again, his voice now heavy with anger.

Although he sounded angry, he was in reality relieved. Namjoon knew he had to give her some sort of punishment for breaking not only a rule but her promise, but he has never handled this kind of thing before so he didn't know if this was going to be effective or not.

"Out," Luna responded quietly while picking at her cuticles.

"Oh, and that's supposed to clear everything up?" Namjoon boomed, growing frustrated with the girl in front of him.

"I made a promise not to tell," Luna said, her voice very small. She was telling the truth, she really did promise Ryland not to tell a soul of what happened tonight.
