Music of the stars ( A Namjoon fan fiction)

Chapter 4

'Namjoon, is everything alright?' inquired a young man with a diamond-shaped face while entering along with a group of six other people.

'Give a sec, Hoseok, I'll explain everything,' the leader said in response, waiting for the rest to settle down and take their seats.

'As some of you might know, I have chosen to insert a solution to one of our recent requests to assist a client by bringing back their abducted relations,' he proclaimed, provoking agitation among the other members.

'Hyung, I mean no offense, but didn't we receive similar complaints before? You do realise that such an act might cause public dissatisfaction? Besides, don't we have much serious issues to deal with?' Yoongi objected.

Namjoon gave him a mischievous grin ' You do realise that I wouldn't make this decision if there wasn't a price to pay?'

The rest couldn't make out what he was getting at. That's when the leader brought a hologram revealing a three-dimensional image of Hesper, puzzling everyone else far worse.

Suddenly, it dawned on them once Taehyung quired 'Is that a...'

'...a sirenna...' Jimin finished his sentence. 'To tell you the truth, these things are way hotter than they are told to be '.

'When are we testing her powers?' Hoseok exclaimed in excitement. A smile lit up his face.

'We're still unaware wether she holds knowledge of using them at all. She's either too cautious to reveal them or doesn't know they exist in the first place,' Namjoon clarified. 'Now that things have been cleared out, will there be any further objections?'

A single hand rose among the rest. It was Jungkook, their youngest brother.

'Would you mind explaining yourself?' the leader demanded.

Jungkook, however, responded with a question 'Can we even trust her?' Everyone's attention was drawn towards him. 'Doesn't it look suspicious finding a sirenna in the middle of nowhere? How come we weren't aware of her presence before? Shouldn't we take some precautions first?'

'Jungkook's right, but I don't reckon we ought to be worried about it,' Yoongi spoke up. ' I mean, her species is almost extinct - you really think she can bring much damage to us? It's not like she's an obstacle we can't overcome'.

'And what if it's a trap set by the Eclipse?' Jungkook argued.

' Jungkook, there's no need to be so bitter about everything. That frustration is exhausting you,' Jin attempted to calm him down.

'Oh, so now I'm the one feeling frustrated!' Jungkook mocked. (No Jungkook, you're just "trusfrated"😂).

'Guys, focus!' Namjoon cut into their conversation. ' Jungkook, your opinion has been accepted. Any other converse views?'

As there was no reaction, Namjoon finished the meeting 'Good. Then it has been settled. Everyone's dismissed,' and stormed out of the council hall.

Hesper's POV

It had been hours since I was brought to the guardians' estate. I was relocated to a large chamber, which, I assumed, was their guest room. I had been offered a drink and given maids to assist me if necessary.

Anxiety shook me, making me wonder what was taking the association's superior so long. Just as my mind was occupied by the thought, I caught a glimpse of him finally appearing. I jumped at my feet and bowed in a respectful manner.

For an odd reason his presence caused me to go through a strange variety of emotion, turning me into a very timid person. I was even more smitten when he sent the maids out of the room, leaving us two completely alone.

He approached me and cupped my cheek, making me completely flustered without a clue of what was to follow. To my fortune, he let go of me, not a mark left on my face.

He puzzled me with his question 'Do you know who you are?' I was bewildered, putting every effort in discerning what was the meaning behind his strange behaviour.

I believe he interpreted my confusion as he asked again 'Are there many people in Civas with similar appearance to yours? Sharp ears, small nose, big eyes and a shiny crystal on their forehead?'

' Now that you've mentioned it, I'm not quite certain...' I stuttered.

'What if I told you that you're one of a kind? That the only person who looks just like you is no one but yourself?'

'With all due respect, I'd like to know the meaning of such an interrogation. How is this going to allow me to get my family back?' I enquired.

The man took a seat on one of the couches, his leg crossing the other. 'Your family is likely to have been taken to a slave market, where the rarest species are put up for auction,' he spilled out. 'The fact that your kind is extinct is of a great advantage to us. We're currently working out a plan where you shall play a very important role, but you have to follow it strictly in order to return your siblings safe and sound. Deal?' his eyebrow lifted.

I nodded in agreement to cooperate.

'Splendid!' he concluded as he stood up to leave. ' A room for you to stay in for the time being is being prepared at the moment. If you have any further requests, you're always welcome to address me '.

' I am deeply grateful for your kindness,' I bowed in gesture of gratitude.

'Don't thank me yet and please, change into more decent clothes'.

3rd person POV

Slight string of embarrassment flustered Hesper's cheeks. Little did she know that as Namjoon walked away, regret of making such unnecessary remark bothered him .
