Restored Family - JJK BTS

Chapter Eight

Jeongguk p.o.v.

I felt weaker these days and I don't know why? So today I told Housekeeper Park to cook me a homemade meal. I really craved for it. It was like the inside of me rejected everything it is offered and only wants a homemade meal. I felt dizzy and my hands throbbed so much more than it used to. I don't know what was going on. Maybe I was going mad. I did everything they asked for, I drank the bitter medicine, I tried not to play the zither, as they say, that if I was exposed to dangerous instruments it may have a toll on my body, I tried resting for more than a couple hours, and I even walked into the palace gardens, when I usually stay away from black roses. I really tried my best. Maybe it wasn't enough. These thoughts ran through my mind and my head started to hurt really bad like my head was being stabbed by a thousand knives.

I walk around the garden hoping to see something different. I spotted a big fluffy bunny. I was so big it hopped around my garden. It stopped when it bumped into my leg. I picked it up and cuddled it to death. It was the biggest and cuddliest bunny in the world fight me on this one. I saw a butler from Harvest Palace arrive. I let go of the rabbit and it hopped to the attendant. I knew it has to belong to Taehyung hyung. He loves animals. The bunny would be a great addition to his collection. I am now half sulking because of the bunny leaving me. and the other half sulking because of my stomach growling. I hurried back to the courtyard. I was left with a pleasant surprise. It was just rice with some half-cooked meat it was something I enjoyed. I took one bite of the meat and it was very tender, chewy, it has the taste of home. It slowly melts your tastebuds. It felt rough on the first bite, but it slowly turns into a silky smooth taste. It slowly awakens my once dull taste buds. After the meal, I somehow felt that my body and mind were renewed and I had the strength to hold my brush. I started writing and catching up on the edicts that I have yet to finish. I also had to prepare for the meeting In the local tea house with Lord Zhang and Lord Xu. I try to sleep earlier today, but my eyes just keep wide open. I decided to have a cup of tea with Jimin hyung, so I walked to the Jade Courtyard. I expected it to be dark as I was up very late, but Jimin hyung was standing on the porch as if he knew I was coming. I slowly approach Jimin hyung hoping that he wasn't tired.

"Jimin hyung. are you okay? Why are you up so late?" I said. Hyung doesn't reply but slowly turns his body towards me and I saw the most horrendous sight ever. Hyungs eyes were pitch black and his hand was making its way to my neck. I try to grab his hand, but it just goes through my hand. I scream of horror and somehow Hyungs eyes go back to honey brown. I was terrified and could not comprehend what just happened. Yugyeom and Sehun were beside me, Yugyeom made a slight bow to Jimin and took me out of there. Sehun was looking around to see if there were any servants there, but strangely everyone even Jimin hyung's bodyguard Jongdae wasn't there. I couldn't sleep that night even though I had a meeting the next day I just couldn't every time I close my eyes Jimin hyung's actions repeat in my head and haunts me.

I wake up barely sleeping and my pale complexion grows paler once I down at my feet. My feet were bruised even though I didn't do any major sword fighting techniques. I do my morning routine hoping something good will happen today. I go outside and admire the beautiful flowers before winter hits. I get on my horse, hoping my bruised feet won't affect my riding too much. I arrive at the Lucky One Tea House. I quietly sip my tea waiting for Lord Xu and Lord Zhang. I look up when I hear a rumbling noise and see assassins getting down from the roof. I didn't want anybody to get hurt so I ran outside and far away from the town. I stop when I arrive at a deserted forest hoping the assassins followed me and not hurt anybody from town. I regretted not taking any guards with me and my shadow guards only come when I really need help. I pull out my sword ready for when they attack. Three assassins wearing black clothes and a black cloth masking their face came running at me. I managed to dodge one sword and hit the man with the back of my sword. I kick another assassin in the stomach and silt the neck of the third assassin. After that, a crowd of assassins came rushing toward me. I managed to silt five on the throat, stab three in the stomach, and knock out twelve assassins. There were at least thirty more, but I can't possibly finish all thirty by myself. Just then Two men appeared before me. I recognized one as Minghao, but I didn't know the other. We took down most of them and the rest flee before we can kill them. I took the wounded back to the palace to interrogate them. I thanked Minghao and the man named Yixing. We ended up having to postpone the meeting to tomorrow, but I was fine with it since I was the one who caused all this.
