The Spoken Secrets

Chapter 30

Evening~

It's time.

My heart was beating like crazy and my palms were sweaty. For a moment I felt hesitant, but I knew I had to do this if I wanted to escape with Saeran. There was no other time but now. Resting my hand on the door handle I take a deep breath clutching the card that Saeran gave me in my hand.

"Come on Y/n, you can do this" I sighed out. Pushing down on the door handle surprisingly it was unlock. Saeran did mention that he would disable all security so I could make my way to the garden, but is this really going to work? Not wanting to doubt Saeran I quickly speed out of the room.

Looking behind me I check if anyone was around, but as I was distracted I run into someone. "Ah, I'm sorry" I mutter putting my head down trying to get by whoever I bumped into. "Hey, wait a second" a deep voice catches my arm and I shiver on the spot. This is it, I screwed it all up. Good job Y/n. "You're the famous Y/n everyone is talking about, right?" Wait, famous? I decide to nod in response. "Wow! I've always wanted to meet you, it's not every day that you get to be hand picked by the Saviour."

What?

"Where are you going?" The believer then asks dropping my arm muttering an apology. "T-to the garden..." I stammer fiddling with the card in my hand "oh, you're going the wrong way you know. Do you want me to show you the way?" For a moment I was hesitant to reply back, but I also didn't know how to get there through Saeran's instructions. It would be easier if someone showed me.

"If it's not to much" "oh! It would be an honour, come on" the believer replied happily waving for me to follow behind them. As I quietly follow behind the believer I found myself trying to catch my breath. I nearly got caught. I really need to be careful. "Here we are Ms Y/n" Before I could say anything the believer opens the door and the night air slips through nipping at my skin. I take a deep breath, there was something satisfying about breathing in the fresh air after being cooped up in this facility for so long.

"Thank you" I smile "is there anything I can get you?" I shake my head in response making my way out the door "nope, thank you for showing me to the garden." Even though I couldn't see the believer's face I could tell they were glimmering in response. Turning on my heel I make my way into the garden, my foot steps were soft as I made my way across the damp grass.

I should probably get out of sight. Making my way further in the garden I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the different colours of flowers that shimmered in the moon's gaze. Stopping I notice a familiar flower. A white calla lily, one of my favourite flowers as a child. The one that I told Saeran about when we first met. Stepping off the pavement I reach out and let the flower rest on my hand as I go to smell it.

Suddenly I felt arms wrap around me pulling me back into a dark area. I open my mouth to scream but before I could make a noise a hand covers it. "It's me Y/n, Seven." I stop struggling against my holder, relaxing in his arms waiting for my heart to calm down from its fast pace. Saeyoung drops his hand from my mouth and I turn around to see both V and Saeyoung standing side by side.

"V, you're here too!" "Shh" V presses his finger to his lips and I clasp my hands over my mouth. Catching me off guard, Saeyoung suddenly embraces me tightly. "Saeyoung..?" "Y/n, I'm so glad you're safe." Saeyoung's hands tremble griping the back of my shirt. I let out a sigh of relief laying my head in the crook of his neck absorbing his warmth. "I was scared..." "but I'm hear now, so it's okay" I reply with a smile pulling away from Saeyoung. He nods his head smiling in response wiping tears from his eyes, I glance at him with surprise.

I place my hand on his cheek brushing my thumb along his skin, Saeyoung leans into my touch reassuringly. "Aw, that was so touching" pulling away from Saeyoung we turn to see Rika standing close by. Saeyoung pushes me behind him protectively "oh, there's no need to do that Luciel. I'm almost hurt to see you do that. Do you not remember me?" Gazing past Saeyoung, Rika stands with her hand on her hip holding something in her other hand.

Rika shrugs turning her gaze towards V. "It's funny to see a coward like you coming back. Are you ready to confess for your sins, my love?" V steps forward and I grab ahold of his sleeve "what are you doing? You can't seriously believe that everything you've done is your fault" I state firmly. V drops his face, guilt flooding his eyes "Y/n..." "don't say sorry V. Everyone makes mistakes, going to Rika, is that something you want or is it something you think you deserve?" V's breath hitches frozen in place.

"V, Y/n's right. Rika is hurting you-" "shut up!" Rika screams aiming her arm towards us. Now that she was standing in the light I could get a clear picture of what she was holding. "Rika! Put that down!" I shout, Rika laughs the gun in her hand shaking as she points towards us. "V knows what's good for him. He knows he belongs here with me! Move away from him!" Rika shouts aggressively as Saeyoung and I step away from V. I grab ahold of Saeyoung's hand slightly fearful as Rika's frown deepened.

Looking to Saeyoung for reassurance I could tell even he was frightened. "V, who is it? The love of your life or some brats? Haha! Of course I know the answer!" Rika laughs like a maniac before aiming the gun towards Saeyoung and I.

"No."

Rika's eyes widen with shock as she turns her gaze towards V. V shakes his head an angry expression upon his face "I don't love you Rika. Maybe this was all some obsession. I thought I loved you because I believed that no one would ever love me, but... I was wrong." V turns his head towards me and we lock eyes "I have people that care about me, Y/n, Saeyoung, Zen, Jumin, Jaehee, Yoosung. The RFA. This isn't love Rika, you know it! So let us go and the RFA!"

Rika grits her teeth "you're lying! You love me! You've always loved me, tell me you love me" V sighs sadness plastered upon his face than shakes his head. "Ha.... hahahah! If you won't love me then you can't love anyone!" Rika redirects her aim towards V laughing. Instantaneous as her finger pulls on the trigger and my body moves on its own. My fingers slip away from Saeyoung's and I hurl myself towards V.

*Bang*

In a split second an excruciating pain plunges into my back radiating through my body. I wail as I stumble into V's arms. "Y/n!" V shouted dropping to his knees cradling me from the fall. I let out heavy breaths, whimpers falling out of my mouth as I bear through the pain that ate at my body. "Hey look at me!" V taps at my cheeks keeping me awake, his eyes becoming glossy as his breathing begins to hitch with panic. From the corner of my eye I notice Saeyoung trying to go after Rika but is being held back by some believers.

"Y/n!" I snap my attention towards V once more the pain slowly becoming to much for me to handle. V strokes my hair "it's okay, Y/n stay with me. Please..." I exhale out of my mouth my eyes falling shut "Y/n? Y/n!! Let go of me! Y/n!"

Suddenly I see nothing. Suddenly I feel nothing, and now... I hear nothing.

I never got the chance to tell everyone how much they meant to me or how I loved Saeyoung. Is it really over? All those memories unspoken and all those secrets that have been spoken. I wish I could just...

Reset.
