YOU

As he went off violently, Hoseok's words continued to ring in my head. He was first shocked when I informed him about the unknown woman for some reason, but that immediately subsided and changed to denial. I have no idea who this "Y/N" individual is, but it appears that she has an effect on everyone. Apparently, even I. But despite my best efforts to persuade him that I was in fact telling the truth, he won't listen to me. It appears as though he never intended to hear it in the first place.

I don't know why, but he was shocked when I told him about the strange woman, but it immediately faded and moved to denial. I have no idea who this "Y/N" individual is, but it appears that she has an effect on everyone. Apparently, even I. But despite my best efforts to persuade him that I was in fact telling the truth, he won't listen to me. It appears as though he never intended to hear it in the first place.

"Y/N is long dead, and she tragically died before you even knew her—before you probably knew anyone. If you lie to me one more time, I'll permanently stitch your lying lips together." Before slamming the door shut, Hoseok growls. Hoseok snarls before slamming the door shut.

I sighed in perplexity and clutched my head with one hand. I cast a glance over to the Y/N illusion there and continued staring into space. I'm positive that she was present. I feel as like something inside of me was drawn, but I'm not sure what. My hand was on the spot where she had been sitting when I felt something under the mattress. I get out of bed and flip off the sheets while furrowing my brows. I take a look at the mattress and hack it open with my dagger. I suddenly felt something as I dug my hands deeper into the mattress of packed cotton.

I firmly grasped it and drew it out, whereupon I saw that it was a key. Why on earth is there a key inside the mattress? There were strange carvings of a different language that could be seen by rotating it. Then it dawned on me. It was a map, not a language.

I keep checking to make sure no one is watching me from behind. I carefully rise and open my door while turning my head left and right. I doubt anyone is even awake since it has likely been beyond midnight. Too much silence permeates the castle. It's unsettling yet also calming. I glance at the key again and take a quick left turn as I descend Gwyar's winding stairs. The passageways grew darker and more foreign as I traveled farther away from anything. It appeared as though the entire location had been abandoned because of the tangled webs of spiderwebs in every corner and the lack of lit candles. Yet why?

I continued to follow the coordinates while gazing down at the key and making quick turns to the left and right. In the end, I grabbed a torch to help me navigate the pitch-black, underground halls. Is this intended to take me to a cell in a dungeon? Or a secret Yoongi won't divulge to me? In spite of the fact that it has been months since our initial meeting, I hardly know anyone in this room. I only know this Y/N individual.

Why is she such a big deal? I can't comprehend the unknown reasons. And why do I keep getting put in her place? She's not a human, according to what I understand, whereas I am.

I became aware that I was walking in circles as I went on. The stone sculptures and the dimmed sunshine were both too familar against my skin everytime I caressed my fingertips on the walls. I raise the key to flash it against the sun as I start to become frustrated. I take a small step back, but the floor begins to sag. To my surprise, the stone wall behind me rotated and opened, showing a keyhole, revealing it to be a concealed pressure plate. I gave the stone key a quick glance before twisting and inserting it into the lock. I can enter since the door slides open to the side.
