29: Twilight

After all the playful fights and messing around, you were all forced to clean everything up. But it wasn't that hard. With your vampire speed, the house was cleaned spotless afterwards, allowing all of you to finally settle down inside the pillow fort you, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Hoseok had built.

"How exactly are we going to defeat Zero?" You questioned your thoughts aloud while you brought your knees up to your chest as a way to rest your chin upon them. "You guys do have a plan, right?"

"Uhh.." Across from you, Taehyung trailed off awkwardly, getting you to roll your eyes in disbelief.

"It's been years already and you still haven't forged a plan yet?"

"Technically, we're just confused with what will work, alright?" Yoongi defended. "Getting close to a demon without dying is pretty hard."

You shrugged. "Fine. So then what are the demon's weaknesses?"

"Demons are basically like us but more powerful," answered Jungkook before he pointed a finger at you. "Though you're an exception. They're weak against sunlight but that's not a good option unless we can force him in without being in it ourselves, but they can also die by a seraph blade."

"A seraph blade?" You tilted your head in confusion, curious to the new information.

"It's engulfed by heavenly fire and infused with the angel's spirits." You turned around at Namjoon's explanation, scooting yourself closer to him with even more curiosity. "Which makes it very lethal to demons."

"But the blade must be made of silver, right? So wouldn't that make it hard for us to posses it?" You pointed out.

"Like Jungkook said, you're an exception," Jin said, making you even more confused.

"But I can get hurt by silver too, how is that an exception?"

"You're blood is very powerful," Namjoon reminded. "If you deliver some blood of yours onto the seraph blade, you can have the power to hold the blade."

That almost instantly brought a smile to your face. "Which means I'll be the one to kill Zero, right?" You asked, clapping your hands together with excitement.

"I guess," Hoseok shrugged. "But there's just one problem."

"What?"

"None of us has an idea on where the seraph blade could be," Jimin sighed and you frowned, bringing your cheeks squished down against your knees.

"Is there any other option?" You asked, words a little muffled. "What other things are demons weak against? Is there like any way to take away a demon's ability to transport?"

"Isn't your friend a demon herself?" Yoongi asked. "Can't you ask her? She's on our side, isn't she?"

Suddenly, your head perked up as your mouth gaped. "You're right, Dumplings, I should've thought of that."

"But you need to be careful," Namjoon quickly reminded. "You never know when Zero will be around and find out that secret bond between you and his sister."

"Maybe it's safer if you go," you said, turning to look at Jimin after being reminded from Namjoon's warning. "You know, since it'll be more of a risk if I go to see her."

Jimin nodded understandingly at your suggestion before Taehyung was quick to look in confusion. "But can't you just phone her?"

"None of us has phones," you rolled your eyes.

"Yeah, I threw mine away after quitting school in case I'd be scammed with texts of Y/N's death," Jimin said.

"Right."

"Can we go to sleep now?" The sleepy grandpa yawned as he went on to adjust himself under his blanket.

You would had laughed at Yoongi or even joked with him if it weren't for you feeling sleepy as well, so you instead chuckled drowsily and yawned. "Well then, goodnight—" you paused, "morning. You know what I mean."

You heard the guys softly laughing at your mistake as you went on to settle yourself under, closing your eyes to wait for sleep to derive you which you knew wouldn't be a problem as the others still kept awake.

Probably to talk some more.

~*~

The sky above you was the most beautiful thing you had ever seen, bathed with stunning colors of lavender and cerulean, you couldn't think of anything else that would look more beautiful than that itself. Yet behind that calm and soothing nature, there was a depth of sadness laid underneath it. You couldn't see it for yourself but you could feel it.

The beautiful twilight.

You stood out alone on a hill isolated from the rest of the world, watching the sky as it had bloomed with its radiant twilight colors. You wanted to feel calm, safe and sound but for some reason, something wouldn't let you. Perhaps by having shared some beautiful moments with friends, you'd once again feel that petrified and vulnerable self you had always felt when you were little.

Happiness wasn't going to last forever. Not with the case of darkness coming your way.

And as the clouds formed and dusk came just as quick as how twilight had appeared, you felt a shiver running down your spine, a feeling you knew you couldn't be protected from. Not Jimin, not even Jungkook.

You were alone-

But you weren't at the same time.

Staring at the person in front of you, she gave you a tight, sad smile, one you could only look back at with even more sadness. Her hands wavered as she went on to wrap her arms around herself and you followed suit. Her long hair and dress swayed along with the cold night breeze and you were wishing so hard for twilight to come back.

Not as disappearing into the night but as blooming into a dawn when the morning would come.

The longer you stared at one another, the easier it was for you to see the hurtful expression in her eyes. They were as disheartening as the darkness surrounding you but even so, those eyes of hers weren't exactly the thing that had caught your attention—no, it was something else, someone else you saw.

It was like watching a heartbroken Jungkook for the first time in front of you.

At any other times you'd only feel his hurting emotions, this time you were actually seeing him holding back his tears, wanting to stay strong yet wanting to break down at the same time.

No words were spoken, they didn't had to for you to know what was going on.

He was there.

But so was she.

And you couldn't help but feel guilty yourself as you stared at the scene in front of you. The answers hit you all at once, making you realize—reminding you that she was still there. In his heart. Forever.

Or maybe she was still alive, awake and witnessing all these situations unfolding. How her position was pulled away from her, both with the royal blood and her soulmate. She looked at you with that sad smile once more, the smile never reaching her eyes, and her mouth opened slightly.

"It's alright," she said. "Everything will be alright."

But you knew they weren't. So the only thing you could say in return was,

"I'm sorry...Yuri."

It was only a dream yet why did she felt so real? Perhaps maybe she had never left in the first place.

Or maybe Yuri had returned.
