Yoona was in the midst of a peaceful sleep when she felt herself being shaken awake.

Someone had their hands on her shoulders and were shaking her in an attempt to wake her up. Immediately she swatted the hands away and took up a defensive stance.

"It's only me," Namjoon's voice calmed her and she sighed.

"Yes Namjoon?"

He walked over and flipped the light switch, causing Yoona to wince at the brightness.

"I'm sorry to wake you but now's the time to go," He nodded.

Yoona's eyes widened.

"But it's," She glanced at the clock on her bedside table, "3am."

"Exactly," He smirked. "More of a surprise, she won't be expecting it. Besides, even if the spy lets her know now it shouldn't be enough time to prepare."

Yoona had to admit that it was a good plan; no wonder Namjoon hadn't told everyone the time he'd been thinking about.

"Alright," She yawned, stretching out her arms and hopping off the bed.

"Freshen up and get into your gear, and don't forget your blade. Meet us in the living room in half an hour."

After a quick shower, changing into her black gear, fitting on her boots, brushing her hair into a sleek ponytail and grabbing the black sword in her hand, she stepped out of her room only to almost bump into Jimin.

"Yoona," He whispered. She smiled, wishing him good morning. He stepped closer to her, looking down at her with a gaze she couldn't quite identify.

"Are you okay-"

"No," He breathed, brushing her hair back with his hands and cupping her cheeks, leaning closer to her face, their noses touching.

"Please Yoona, I know you've got Jungkook and I know you don't love me but please- please let me, just once," He said in a desperate, hurried whisper.

Jungkook.

She knew she shouldn't. She knew she should push him away, tell him it wasn't fair, tell him she was sorry but he couldn't kiss her.

And then it all clicked into place.

The looks he'd give her when he thought she wasn't looking. The pained expressions he held when Jungkook and Yoona were showing PDA in the house. The tension between him and Jungkook.

Park Jimin was in love with her.

But didn't she spend the night with the one she loved for fear of losing him?

Was it fair to refuse when Jimin only wanted the same, wanted to feel the one he loved one last time, just in case?

She found herself nodding ever so slightly and that was the only signal the boy needed before carefully pressing his lips to hers, sealing the gap in a surprising pleasant union of their lips. She could only think about how soft Jimin's lips were and how nice his hands felt on the skin of her cheeks rather than how they shouldn't be doing this right now.

Yoona gradually pulled away, casting her gaze to the floor. She felt guilty, guilty that she kissed someone other than her boyfriend, someone other than Jungkook.

And guilty that she'd enjoyed it.

"It's okay," He whispered. "You can forget about it. Pretend it never happened. He doesn't need to know."

And with that, Jimin gave her one last lingering kiss on her forehead before trudging down the stairs, leaving Yoona on the landing with a lot of thoughts on her mind.

"Does everyone have their weapon?" Namjoon asked, to which there was a chorus of 'yes'.

Yoona glanced around, taking in everyone's weapon of choice.

Jungkook's small knife, Jimin's bow and arrows, Taehyung's long sword, Namjoon's mace, Hoseok's club and Jin's shurikens.

"Let's get in the car then."

"Why aren't we flying?" Yoona questioned, and Namjoon looked over at her.

"It's too long of a distance to fly carrying the whole trunk of grenades and guns," He explained.

Yoona made an 'o' shape with her lips and Namjoon smiled.

"Let's get this show on the road."

Jin was driving. They didn't want to risk the lives of any of their staff members and so Jin was driving, with Namjoon in the passenger seat beside him.

"So this is it...I'm proud of you Bangtan. I know we can do this," Namjoon smiled, and the rest broke out into nervous smiles as well.

Yoona slipped her hand into Jungkook's and he must have felt it tremble because he gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Are you okay?" He whispered, and she hesitated before nodding.

"I'm just scared, Jungkook," She replied, biting her lip. "It's actually happening, I'm actually going to have to fight real people."

"Hey, look at me."

She obeyed, and Jungkook cupped her face gently. The action reminded her of earlier and she felt the guilt again, but there was nothing she could do about it now.

Jungkook mistook her expression for that of worry.

"It's going to alright," He whispered soothingly. "You've been training so hard, you're going to be fine. We're going to be fine. We're to make it out of there as the same as we are now."

Yoona just nodded, not trusting her mouth to say anything. The rest of the car journey was silent, with everyone in a state of mental preparation.

She had her head resting on Jungkook's shoulder and only lifted it when she felt the car slowing down.

Jin pulled into a clearing in the forest by the castle, in order to not draw any suspicion by parking a fair distance away.

"Whatever happens, I'm proud of you. I'm proud to be part of this group, and I love you guys," Namjoon spoke, his voice slightly wavering.

"It's been a long ride but with you all and Yoongi it couldn't have been any better," Jin smiled, and they all agreed.

"I really love you guys," Taehyung sniffed, and Hoseok and Jimin patted him on the back.

"Hey, we need to be strong right now! But I really love you guys too..." Jimin whispered, and Hoseok agreed.

"I want to thank you for letting me be part of your family," Yoona smiled softly. "I'm so glad to have met you."

"We can do this guys, let's not get too emotional. Fighting!" He made a fist with his hand and gave them a lopsided grin, and they chuckled.

"Fighting!"
