Namjoon paced the house, stressing out. The boys had managed to get him to eat before he paced the house since whilst he was locked down in his cell he had barely eaten and whatever he had eaten wasn't sufficient enough.

Seokjin was also worried but he didn't let it show. He hummed gently as he drummed his fingers on the arm of the sofa.

"They'll be okay, right?" Yoongi asked quietly startling the rest of the boys.

"I believe they will." Jungkook grinned, eyes shining with hope, something the people of Wonderland had lost when they had heard about the return of the Red Queen. "Min-Young is a fighter anyway, and Lee was trained by her. They're together so they won't give up. They have each other."

Namjoon had completely blocked out the boys rambling long ago when the last scoop of food went down his throat and when he began pacing the room. The boys wouldn't let him leave the house, which he understood, but he desperately wanted to. He promised to protect her and in the end it was her protecting him-

The door swung open and all the boys jumped up, expecting to see Lee and Min-Young stood there. But nobody was.

"It was the wind, someone didn't close the door properly." Jimin glared, looking at Jungkook. The youngest simply shied back behind the broad shoulders of Jin - everyone knew how scary Jimin could be because he didn't look angry and he didn't sound angry. But his words were definitely angry. Jimin got up and shut the door and sat down.

All the boys were on edge - desperate for the return of Lee and Min-Young.

The door opened quietly this time. The boys turning slowly to face the door and their eyes widened as they saw the two leaning against one another.

"You two look terrible." Hoseok joked, grinning. "Alive, but terrible."

"Gee thanks Hoseok." Min-Young laughed softly, wincing.

Min-Young was not prepared for the impact of Namjoon's chest colliding with her upper body. She winced but didn't make a sound as she felt his arms wrap around her.

The boys made eye contact with one another and left the room. Hoseok and Jungkook supporting Lee as they left.

"You idiot! Why did you do that?" Namjoon spoke, his voice broken. His grip tight around her.

"I-I was so scared." She whimpered and that's when she finally let the tears fall. She held onto him, hugging him. Namjoon felt her body shake with the sobs and he sighed softly, closing his eyes as he held her close and rubbed her back. "I... I thought I was going to loose you..."

"Min-Young..." He croaked gently.

"Please don't risk yourself for me again..." She whispered.

"I could say the same for you." He broke away from the hug briefly and held eye contact with her. "Promise me?"

"As long as you promise me?" He wiped her tears away with her thumbs and he nodded.

"I promise." With that she pulled him back into hug.
