After making the deal with Namjoon, he told you to go back to the room you were in before. You frowned, but obeyed, you didn't want to anger him before you got your memories back, but why couldn't he just give them back to you now?

You huffed and lay back on the bed, your arms and legs spread out. Where were the others? Were they okay? You hoped Namjoon didn't do anything to them. You were so caught up in your own thoughts that you didn't even hear the small creak of the door being opened.

The bed sunk next to you and you whipped your head to the side to see a dimpled smile. "It's comfy, isn't it?" You nodded. Did this man have mood-swings or something? "I wish I could stay here forever."

"Why can't you?" He sighed.

"My father will be expecting me back in Agartha, he'll be disappointed if I don't have some things for him." You sat up, crossing your legs, looking down at the warlock.

"So, you want the map for your father?" Namjoon's eyes slightly widened and he sat up too, facing you.

"I—yeah," he said. "After Jungkook and I destroyed the contract, and scattered everyone, he knew the King of Empyrean would try and find a new gatherer after..." he cut himself off, looking at your confused face.

"You and Jungkook destroyed it?" He nodded. "Why?"

Namjoon inhaled sharply, his eyes growing cold. "That's none of your business." You frowned.

"Fine, but you said new gatherer, was there another one?" He stayed quiet and you groaned in frustration. "Why doesn't anyone tell me anything?"

"When you get your memories back, you'll know everything, I promise."

You took in his words, glancing around the room, while his eyes stayed on you. "When will I get them back?"

"When I take you back to Empyrean."

"Which will be?" Namjoon shrugged.

"Depends, plus I'm sure the others are looking for you right now. I might as well take all of you." You nodded, but felt nerves building up in your stomach.

"Jimin doesn't remember anything either."

"I know."

"How?" You asked. "How did you know me?"

Namjoon swallowed, looking nervous now as he locked eyes with you, his dark ones swirling with sadness. "We were good friends. Agartha and Empyrean are close together and I'd visit you." You were taken aback at his words. "I watched him wipe your memories and I watched them throw you down to Earth."

You looked at him in shock. "And you didn't stop them?"

Namjoon shook his head, giving you a sad smile. "I couldn't. I was on the run, everyone was angry at Jungkook and I."
