Rose crawled up Taehyung's leg with a worried pout on her face. Her and Lucio had ran from Jimin's side to the library. Both of them were out of breath and scared.

"Um...daddy?"

The blonde turned away from Jungkook's explanation of a thickly bound text and picked the girl up. "Yes, what is it Rose?"

"My daddy sent us."

Lucio butt in, hopping against Taehyung's leg with wide, erratic eye movements. Taehyung popped a brow in worry and bent down to lift the boy up. Lucio clung to his shoulder with one hand and Rose's with the other.

"Jungkook?"

Taehyung nudged the ravenette's side.

Jungkook's face was still buried in the book.

"...and that's when we'll send in Jimin as bait-"

"Kook. Hey, could you pause for a second? Something's up."

Jungkook turned abruptly from his book. Immediately, he got to work nibbling his lip when he saw the look on his husband's face.

"Oh. Uh, yeah. What's wrong, kids?"

Lucio averted his gaze, burying his neck into the blonde's shoulder. "Someone is here."

"Some bad people!" Rose affirmed.

Taehyung frowned, placing the kids down on the ground. "What do you mean some bad people are here? People are always coming and going from the Oak Castle-"

"Are there soldiers with these people?" Jungkook cut in. Seriousness laced his tone. 

Rose nodded while grabbing Lucio's hand. 

"Yes."

"Hmmm..." Jungkook pushed past his husband towards the door of the library. "I think we should check this out-"

"Wait, Kook!" Taehyung held out his hand. He paused to listen, tilting his head to the side. "I hear soldiers coming."

"How many?"

Taehyung didn't hesitate. "Four. Two sets of two. And there's another servant with them..."

Lucio and Rose read the confusion in the room. They stumbled behind one of the library's shelves hand in hand. Jungkook wavered around the door. 

"Then it's all right if I open the door? Only soldiers are coming. They're probably here to tell me of the visitors." He placed his hand on the door handle.

"I guess, but..." Taehyung walked over to his husband. "They all have elevated heart rates. They're worked up about something....I don't like it. I'll go with you."
