Into the Shadows

Patience

One Month After the Attempts

Monday 3:16 AM

"What type of venue do we want?" Y/N asked as she flipped through the magazine on the table. Yoongi rested his chin on her shoulder pursing his lips as he watched the different places flip by. They hadn't had a whole lot of time to plan or decide on a cake let alone a place with Namjoon being back in the hospital. Yoongi wanted to get married soon, but they had both agreed that they would wait so he could be his best man. Sometimes Yoongi regretted it, in turn making him feel bad for the ill thought. The pages flipped with no stopping in sight until Y/N exhaled defeated. Leaning her head back on his shoulder and whining.

"I just don't know...."

Yoongi gave her a small smile kissing the top of her head. She was so cute when she pouted, even with her messy hair and tired eyes she was stunning.

"We have time..."

"Yea..." she said half-heartedly. He could tell she was getting tired of waiting as well. She spent more time with Namjoon lately, watching him as he spiraled downward. The doctor's were at their wits end with scans and bloodwork. No one knew exactly what was causing the seizures or why he seemed less responsive. The doctors found him to be in good health aside from the occasional seizures, so they eventually they released him to back into Amber's care. Who also seemed reluctant to take him home, she always looked on the verge of tears when she looked at him. Her sad eyes always with a red rim around them and wearing one of Namjoon's hoodies for days at a time. Self-care was important, everyone tried to explain that to her. But she would blow them off and hide in the bathroom until she heard them sigh and leave. Definitely felt bad for her just didn't know what else they could do to help other than pray Namjoon recovered from the brain trauma.

"I wish we could just do it now, and just hold a reception later in the Gallery." She sighed looking up at him with pitiful eyes. Caressing her cheek, he kissed her pouty lips, then her nose, her cheek, her forehead, and then her lips again. This made her smile and hug him tight.

"We will get married soon enough beautiful...just have to pray Joon recovers soon."

"I know... Hopefully Amber doesn't give up on him..."

Yoongi sighed walking over to the coffee maker starting a pot. "Yea... she doesn't return my text or calls anymore. May just have to go over there."

Y/N stiffened at the thought of going to Amber's place. She couldn't imagine what the place must look like now. Back when she helped Amber get it ready for Namjoon it was so messy they weren't sure where to start. Not that it was her fault. Perseus and Calliope helped out a good bit. But Amber only asked them to keep up with the bedrooms and their bathroom. Which they did, their rooms were spotless as well as their bathroom. However, everything else...

Shaking her head at the thought she watched Yoongi move about the little kitchen. He was a little thinner than before, his pale skin a little lighter if that was even possible. He had been spending less time at his study in downtown Seoul and more time here with her. Y/N loved him being home, but she also knew he loved to be in his studio creating new works of art.

"Yoon...Why don't you spend some time in the Studio today." Yoongi turned to look at her coffee cup in hand.

"I don't feel like it today..." he frowned sitting down in the chair next to her turning a page while sipping his black coffee. Y/N curled her fingers in front of her mouth contemplating her next attempt when she saw it. She put her finger on the page with a huge smile on her face.

"Found it!" She exclaimed. Yoongi glanced at the page and smiled side hugging Y/N. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, just not sure why it took so long to find it.

"Apelgamo Gwanghwamun?"

"I love it!"

"Well if you love it. So do I." He loved how excited she would get, he wanted nothing more than to give her the world and everything she desired in it. Y/N jumped out of the chair running to the bedroom appearing moments later with a little black notebook. Hastily she scribbled down the name, address, and a contact number. Still smiling happily, she bounced over to the kitchen pouring herself a cup of coffee with some creamer then leaned happily against the counter smiling into her coffee.

"I love you." Yoongi smiled a gummy grin, Y/N beamed at him.

"And I you."

The rest of the day was spent cuddled up on the couch, Y/N reading a book while Yoongi sketched in his book. Happy in their own little worlds that was until Y/N's phone rang. They both looked at each other, then at the name on the screen. Neither one was wanting to answer it. Not because they didn't want to talk to her, they were just unprepared for the news that could follow. Clicking the red button on the screen Yoongi sat Y/N's phone on the black coffee table pulling her to him to snuggle up. Before they could get comfortable her phone lit up again. Sighing in frustration Yoongi picked up the phone looking at it. Amber was calling again.

"Guess it's important..."

They both sat up as he put the phone to his ear, a loud cry came from the other side.

"SHE CAN SEE HIM!" A panicked Amber cried out.

"Woah... Wait... slow down." Yoongi looked at Y/N worried. Her face mimicking his as she rest a hand on his thigh.

"Calliope... Calliope can see him." She cried again.

"See who? What's going on?"

"Calliope can see whatever Namjoon is seeing before his episodes."

Yoongi furrowed his brow. His mind raking for a reasonable explanation. The only thing that kept coming up was that Namjoon was haunted... that can't be it.

"Are you suggesting Namjoon is haunted? Have you gone mental? Look I know you..."

Amber cut him off screaming.

"CALLIOPE NO GET AWAY FROM NAMJOON!!! AAAAGHH!!!" A high-pitched screech came after that and then the line went dead. Yoongi dropped the phone his eyes locked in on the one lone photo on the wall. Y/N turned his head to look at her, he seemed almost lost.

"What did she say?" Y/N asked him. His eyes coming into focus on her worried ones.

"Namjoon may be haunted...and."

"What?"

"Namjoon may be haunted, and Callie Bug can see it." He choked on the last words.

"I um...What do...What does she need?"

"she...Screamed at Callie...then the line went dead." Yoongi said distracted by his thoughts. Y/N in a state of panic grabbed the car keys and ran from the apartment leaving the dazed Yoongi to collect his thoughts. She knew he would follow soon after. There was no point trying to get him to come at that moment.
