"How can I protect you..?" I said as I looked at how fragile she was.

I laid down on my couch and heard Oceana's voice.

"You cannot predict what will happen, unless something does happen. Joshua, please be aware of ?????. If he continues to believe in hatred and gets Taehyung corrupted. You will surely lose... Y/N."

"But what can I do...? I can't protect her and ????? is right. He knows he is.." I mumbled a little frustrated by myself.

"That's because you believe that you can't protect her. You think you can't protect her, but truly.. You know you can... We are all depending on you."

I looked at my crystal one more time to see that it was pure red, just like before. It didn't change the slightest bit.

"You have to find out what happened to ?????. He's angry because he's hurt and you know that. But what is the real reason why he's like that?"

"Thanks Oceana. I'll make sure to talk things out with ?????.. If he listens." I mumbled and closed my eyes.

*Next Day*

Y/N's POV.

I slowly opened my eyes as I saw Joshua looking through his phone carefully. He then put his phone away as he noticed I was awake.

"You're awake now." He spoke and smiled at me warmly.

I nodded with a want smile also and he came towards me.

"I'm going to cook breakfast. Do you wanna help me?" He asked and I nodded again with a smile.

"Let's go then." He said with a light chuckle.

We walked downstairs quietly and entered the kitchen.

"What are we making?" I asked him while we washed our hands.

"Hmm.. Let's see what we have." He replied, checking the fridge.

"Let's just make Kimchi-jjigae, Gimbap, Bibimbap, Bulgogi, and Japchae. Since there is a lot of us." Joshua answered, taking out all the ingredients we were going to use.

"You two are awake? Let me help out too." Jeonghan said coming into the kitchen and washing his hands.

"We finished!" I said smilingly brightly at them both.

They both nod in agreement and sighed in relief.

"Y/N can you go wake them up? Me and Joshua will set up the table while you do so." Jeonghan told me and I nodded.

"I will." I said going upstairs.

In order, I woke up Hoshi, Jun, Mingyu, The8, Wonwoo, Vernon, Woozi, Dokyeom, Seungkwan and then Seungcheol. We all sat down and started to eat. I looked at the calendar to see that it was a Saturday.

"Does anyone have any plans today?" Seungcheol asked us all.

"No." We all answered in sync.

"Let's go into groups of 7 and have fun, since there are 14 of us. We have nothing to do anyways." He suggested with a shrug.

"That doesn't sound so bad." The8 said and everyone in the room agreed with him.

"But who gets to be with who?" I asked and Seungcheol thought about it.

"We need leaders. I will be one and Woozi will be the other leader. We get to pick who we want and then we'll decide where we want to go." He answered.

They both started picking and eventually, we were in these groups.

Seungcheol: The8, Jeonghan, Seungkwan, Mingyu, Wonwoo and Dino.

Woozi: Hoshi, Dokyeom, Vernon, Jun, Joshua and me.

"We're going to an Arcade. See you guys!" Seungcheol said leaving with his group first.

"Let's go to... An Amusement Park?" Hoshi suggested.

"Anyone disagree?" Woozi asked, to confirm the place we were going to.

"Okay, it's final. We're going to an Amusement Park." He said as we put on our shoes and went out.

"Walk or drive?" Woozi asked us.

"Either one." Vernon replied.

"Let's walk!" Dokyeom said smiling energetically.

"Walking it is then." Vernon said and started walking ahead.

We all chatted and laughed at Dokyeom's usual self as we made it to the Amusement Park that wasn't long nor short.

"Where are we going first?" I asked them.

"Let's go on the roller coaster first!" Dokyeom said running towards it.

"Dokyeom! Slow down!" Woozi shouted as Doykeom kept running.

We all caught up with him and he looked at us.

"What took you so long?" He questioned.

"Walking that's what." Jun replied shaking his head.

"Fine, fine. Let's get on it already!" He said as we all stood in line.

I looked at Joshua who seemed very quiet since we got here.

"Joshua..?" I spoke making him snap back to reality.

"Sorry. I was thinking about something." He told me, smiling reassuringly.

"If you say so." I smiled, trusting him.

"Did you see your face?" Vernon said laughing at Dokyeom who laughed along with him.

"Guys let's go get some food." Woozi said getting our attention.

"Who's paying?" Joshua asked confused.

"Who else?" Woozi said shrugging.

"Really?" Jun said looking at him suspiciously.

"You want the food or not?" Woozi said glaring at Jun.

"I'll take the food." He quickly replied.

We were eating and joking around, but Joshua always seemed to space out. Woozi nudged me to try and talk to Joshua.

"Joshua is there something on your mind..?" I asked him as everyone was anticipated.

"Yeah you've been so quiet and spaced out lately." Dokyeom added with a frown.

"It's nothing. It's just... I don't want to interfere with your fun." He stated with a very small smile.

"Are you sure about that Joshua?" Woozi asked him, raising a brow.

"Of course." He smiled reassuringly.

We finished eating and decided to go on other different or similar rides.

Joshua's POV.

I had a lot on my mind recently. I couldn't focus on the fun and kept thinking about why ????? is so.. Full of hatred.

"You won't ever figure out why he is full of hatred, Joshua. It's not his hatred. It's because of what he never got. You don't know who I am and it's better like that, but please bring back ?????."

A/N: Do you want a letter of who ????? is?
