I'm Yours and You're Mine (Zenx Reader) Mystic messenger

Chapter 37 Rika

She ran after Saeran, but she lost him. She tried asking around but they did not notice any signs of him. She could not calm down, then her phone suddenly rang.

"Y/N, Where are you?"

The voice she is so familiar with and the only voice that can soothe and relieve her.

"Zenny, I'm on the ground floor, near the fire exit on the west wing."

"Hmm, you sounded weird. I'm here, so stay there, I'll pick you up."

"Alright."

It did not take long for Zenny to pick her up. Sniffing her favorite scent, Zen can only chuckle at the sight of her. He knows that something is off but he is more worried about her well being.

"Are you ok, babe?"

She snuggled on him more, and nodded.

"I'm ok now, because you're here."

Then she looked up and smiled.

"Gaaah! Babe, my eyes. You're so bright!"

They laughed lightly at Zen's theatrics, he's an actor after all.

In a lighter tone, Y/N told Zen what happened making Zen turn grim.

"We should probably inform the others."

All she could do was nod her head, and hope that Saeran is ok and that he is not doing some shady business. Because if something happened to him, she is sure Seven will not stop blaming himself again and she does not want that to happen.

They started walking and visited Judah. Who just looked at them then waved his hands to shoo them away with parting words.

"Go and enjoy some honeymoon time."

Seeing their faces turning red like ripe tomatoes, Judah laughed and totally ignored them and went back doing his drawing/designing. The two could not do anything, especially if he's like this.

Once they're home, Y/N informs the others of what she saw. Seven, worried about his twin brother, called her immediately.

"Does he look pale? Did he look unstable? I heard before that he hates hospital..Does he look ok?"

A series of questions bombarded Y/N, and she tried to answer to the best of her ability.

"He doesn't look pale Seven, though I caught only a glimpse of him, he looks fine and stable. I tried to ask around but no one seems to notice him. It will be better for you to check the CCTV at the hospital."

"Ahhhh, yeah. I'm currently downloading it."

"Seven.."

"Ye-yes?"

"You're not ok, are you?"

"Hahahahaha, why is your question reversed? shouldn't you be asking if I'm ok?"

"Nope, because if I only asked if you're ok you will just answer the generic answer- that you're ok."

An awkward silence enveloped the two. She waited patiently as Seven tried to mull over his emotions.

"I'm worried about him. What if he was beaten again? I want to see him so much, but he keeps on slipping away from me."

"I may not truly understand what you are feeling right now, and I cannot start to measure how worried you are, but I want you to remember that Saeran is waiting for you, so you cannot be weak. You have to be strong for the both of you, you are his big brother."

A large sigh escaped from Seven, somehow it feels like he has finally made a decision.

"Thank you so much Y/N."

"No need, we are family Seven. Don't forget that RFA has now a new meaning."

"New? What do you mean?"

"Oh it's just something cheesy I made up.
Real Family Association?"

A soft chuckle escaped from Seven's mouth, his voice cracked a bit when he replied.

"Yes, I have a family now. Thank you."

"Mm, so be careful out there, bring Saeran back, we will be waiting for your return. Don't worry we are also going to fight back and create a big diversion for you."

"So you already know?Know that I'm leaving to get Saeran?"

"You can call it a female instinct Seven.Besides Zen is a worrywart, I can feel that something is off when he got home after visiting you, and now that you have a glimpse of what is happening, I'm sure you won't sit still. Will you be telling V?"

"Let's keep it a secret for now. I am going to talk separately to others."

"Ok, I will leave you with that."

They continued talking a bit about their big plans and future guests, other RFA members also started to participate over chats which was then turned to an all out meeting for their upcoming fundraising event. Their first fundraising without the knowledge of V.

Meanwhile, deep into the forest an elegant mansion lays. The surrounding has a palpable tension.

"So, so so. Were you able to persuade the old madam? Did you give a picture of how his son was groveling around to pay for her hospital bills?"

The voice of the woman was soft just like how her hair flows softly on her back, but her eyes are cold and have a sharp glint.

"She was heartbroken, but still she cannot decide, she is worried about her grandson."

"Then let's just bring her son and grandson over, they were all pitiful creatures. We must save them to make them happy."

Saeran clenches his hands under his cloak. He lied about everything, he could not bring himself to show the pictures to the old lady so he only roam around searching for Y/N planning a coincidence play. He wanted to leave trails and clues behind, and that to happen he needed an excuse plausible enough for him to go out and that is to do official Mint Eye business.  His chance came when a few days prior his visit to the hospital, he noticed that a friend of Y/N was admitted. He was tasked to monitor all the movements of the RFA members, though he have to be careful all the time because Seven always have a safety net around them and Y/N especially have the protection of her father. Aside from that Rika is starting to suspect him, ever since that meeting he had with Y/N during the RFA Christmas Fundraising. Because of that he was whipped and was not able to leave the bed for 2 weeks.

"Of course, but I will need more time. It seems like the Old Madam's son is having difficulty. His boss is eyeing Zen, we can use it to our advantage."

"Hmmm, very good Saeran. We can aide that person to cause havoc to Zen, that will make a diversion for all the RFA members.The more distracted they are the more people we can save."

A happy and benevolent smile is plastered on Rika's face but if you look much closer, it is enough to freeze you in terror. The great madness of righteousness is swirling in her eyes. Saeran could not help but shudder and wallow at sadness at seeing how broken she was and how broken will be  the people who love her truly, when they saw what had she become.
