A Night-Long Lament

you did it.

(Your POV)

"You did it." Your voice reverberates throughout the room, sending chills down your spine and goosebumps on your arms.

Namjoon staggers backward. "D-Did what?" He exclaims, voice cracking.

"You're the one who stabbed me." You utter.

Jin jogs up to you and squeezes your arm. "Y/N. Think about what you're saying here." 

"Your voice. I knew I recognized it. Deep down, I knew it was you. I just denied it." You grip your chest in pain. "I just didn't want to believe it." A tear slides down your cheek.

The King claps and flings away a tear from his eye. "You made me laugh so much, I cried." He cries out in laughter. "I thought he'd last longer than this!" he gasps.

"F-Father!!" Namjoon screeches. Namjoon staggers backward and soon slams his back into the wall. "I-I'm-- I'm sorry! It wasn't--" His eyes dart around the room in a frenzy. Trying to run out of the place, he trips over himself.

Jin tightens his grip around your arms. "Y/N. Think." His eyes reflect a worrying emotion. He didn't know what to think. Shaking off his grip you straighten your posture.

"I'm sure of it."

Hoseok runs past both of you and rushes to Namjoon's aid. "It wasn't his fault! Don't blame him!" He screeches from the floor.

A cackle bursts from behind you. "Hoseok, you too? Namjoon defied me?" He laughs. 

Hoseok's eyes burst in flames, but Namjoon holds him back as Hoseok rises. "Please."

Your head spins in both mental and physical agony. You couldn't wrap your head around it. The thought of Namjoon hurting you was too much to handle. You always thought of him to be a reserved man with a fantastic intellectual capability. But him being manipulated-- no, even voluntarily doing the things he did to you shocked your whole being.

"Why did you do it, Namjoon?" The room goes quiet when you finally decide to speak. Namjoon's eyes fall on you with a regrettable expression shown.

Slowly, he makes his way across the room to approach you, but Jungkook jumps in front of both of you. You can see Jungkook's hands shaking with confliction.

But either way, he loads up his entire arm and slams his fist into Namjoon's cheek. Namjoon's body collapses onto the quartz floor, staining it with a deep red.

Jimin and Taehyung run to Jungkook and hold both of his arms back, yelling at him.

With all the commotion, the King waltzes up to you and grips your shoulder. "The room is torn. What's your next move, Y/N?" He whispers.

Looking from the King to the room, you can see the clear separation between the six men. Jin, Hoseok, and Namjoon on one side, and Jungkook, Jimin, and Taehyung on the other. You look back at the king in utter disgust. He was a terrible man. He was looking for chaos within the castle, within his children. Watching this was entertainment for him, and it made you sick.

"You're disgusting." You spit. Instantly regretting what you said, the King cracks his neck and straightens his hovering posture. 

"Disgusting?" He repeats. "Me? Disgusting? Look at yourself. Get a fucking clue. You're just toying with them. You don't want commitment. You don't want to choose. So you drag it out as long as possible." Smirking, he steps to the side of you, circling you with his horrid aura. 

"I--" 

"You what? Are you sorry? Too late for that shit! I'm sorry I'm the one to tell you, but you're a complete slut." His words hang within the room as the boys' quarreling suddenly stop as they watch your hand raise itself into the air and slam it down onto the King's face.
