Jungkook walks into the living room, handing you the cup of tea after sitting beside you. He didn't know what to do to help calm your nerves after that traumatic experience.

You take a gulp of the tea and he caresses your thigh, "I'm so sorry, Y/N. It–"

"It had to be done." You answer unemotionally, finishing his sentence.

"Yes, but she was still your mom. You grew up with her and you loved her."

"She made her choice. Now I have to make mine."

Jungkook looks at you with a confused look on his face. He wasn't sure what you meant by that.

"Y/N," Poseidon jogs into the living room.

You stand up and he hugs you, holding you tightly.

"I'm so glad you're okay."

"But my mom," You whisper. "She isn't."

Poseidon closes his eyes and sighs. He kisses your forehead before pulling away.

"It was for the better." He tries to encourage.

"Doesn't mean it was easy."

The whole room is swallowed by silence after your words were said. No one knew what to say. What they did know was that the threat had finally been defeated.

The others walk into the living room, Jimin's body looking as if it had been dipped into a green slime-like substance.

"What happened to you?" Jungkook questioned.

"Euryale swallowed me whole then threw me up," Jimin responds, no trace of disgust in his expression.

"He reeks," Jin holds his nose. "Like bad."

"Thanks, hyung." He answers, walking out of the room to take a long, nice shower.

"Thank you, Jungkook."

"For what?" He looks down at you.

"For everything. For even just being here and holding me, trying to make me feel better."

"Of course," He smiles warmly. "I love you, Y/N. I'd do anything for you to be happy. Anything."

You fake a smile for him and he kisses your forehead.
