"You smiled at the stars like they knew all your secrets."

Hoseok released a hum of contentment as he stretched his body, muscles aching in the best way possible and his black hair messy and disheveled from his "activities" the night before.

A large smile broke out onto his face as his golden-brown eyes fell onto a familiar head of h/c hair that was peeking out of the blankets of his bed.

He sighed happily at your presence, wrapping his arms around your bare waist and pulling the back of your naked body into contact with the front of his.

He buried his face into the crook of your neck from behind, inhaling your sweet scent as he held you tighter, not wanting to get up and face the morning  just yet.

"Perfect." He whispered out to you, his lips brushing the skin of your jaw as the tip of his nose grazed your cheek. "Absolutely perfect."

You began to stir in his hold, a soft yawn moving past your lips as your eyes began to flutter open at his sudden affection.

He smiled softly as you turned in his arms, becoming face-to-face with him. Your bright, blue gaze sending shivers through him.

"Hobi?" You husked out, rubbing your eyes cutely.

He responded by planting his lips to your forehead in a brief kiss, a happy hum vibrating from his chest.

"Good morning." He said with a quiet voice, staring down at you lovingly. "Last night was amazing- You were amazing."

You covered your blushing face, your legs tangling with his beneath the heavy duvet as you snuggled into the warmth of his chest, not quite ready to wake up.

"Why are you up so early?" You asked, clearly trying to change the subject.

Hoseok raised an eyebrow at your shyness, momentarily admiring the deep shade of red that now covered your face.

"I don't know." He answered honestly with a coy smile. "I suppose I was simply ready to wake up."

You frowned, burying your head into his chest.

"Well, I'm not." You stated. "So, let's go back to sleep."

The former warrior tilted his head as you closed your eyes to go back to sleep. Normally, he would have made you stay awake so you could start the day bright and early, but he understood why you were so tired....after all, he didn't exactly go easy on you last night.

And, if he was being honest, he didn't want to get up any more than you did. He was simply enjoying the feeling of your warm, soft flesh pressed against his, your bodies fitting together perfectly as if you were made for each other. 

He didn't want to focus on anything but you.

You were all that was important right now. The only thing he cared to think about for more than a couple of seconds.

You, his wife.

He moved his hand up to stroke your hair gently.

"The baby will be up soon." He muttered. "She'll want you to feed her."

You hummed, shaking your head.

"I don't wanna get up." You moaned. "Have Yoongi watch her. Grace likes to play with her anyway."

The black-haired male chuckled deeply, kissing your hair.

"You'll still have to feed her, darling." He stated. "She's only a few months old."

You pouted, looking up at your husband with big, innocent eyes.

"But, I wanna sleep." You said cutely.

Hoseok sighed before nodded hesitantly, intertwining his fingers with yours.

"If that is what you wish, then you may sleep. I'll come and get you whenever Hope is awake."

He could feel you frown against his chest, your grip on his growing slightly tighter than before.

"No. I don't want you to go yet." You mumbled. "Stay with me."

He couldn't stop the large smile that broke out onto his features at your request, his heart thumping and pounding just as it had done the first time he met you.

He rested his chin on top of your head.

"Very well."

The two of you fell into a comfortable silence, the only sound filling the air was that of the birds' song that floated outside.

Hoseok was content-no. He was happy.

He finally had a family. A real family, someone he could call his own, someone he could love and cherish in every way possible. You and Hope were his life now and he would never allow anything to hurt the two of you. He would protect you from anything and everything.

"This is a nice little fantasy, isn't it?"

Hoseok's eyebrows jumped at your words, confusion overriding his features at your suddenly cold tone.

He pulled back a little, eyes locking onto your icy blue ones that now glared up at him.

"What are you-"

A dark laugh left your mouth, causing him to freeze in his tracks, his stomach dropping instantly.

"This isn't real." You spat. "None of this is real."

His eyebrows crashed together, his body moving away from you entirely, chest beginning to heave as he took deep breaths.

You watched him from the bed with amusement, propping yourself up on your elbows.

"Who-Who are you?!" He shouted. "Where's Y/n!? Where's my wife!?"

His words only seemed to amuse you even further, his eyes widened as you threw your head back in laughter, obviously enjoying the pain and confusing etched across his face.

"Wife?!" You repeated. "You don't have a wife, Hoseok and, frankly, at the rate you're going, you will never have one."

"What-What do you mean?"

You rolled your eyes, sitting up straight in the bed he had been in only moments before, hands reaching for the sheets to keep yourself covered.

"I'm dead." You deadpanned. "Or, at least, I will be soon."

He frowned, taking a step backwards as he swallowed hard.

"I don't understand."

You stared at him with big eyes, tears beginning to glaze over the multiple hues of blue.

"You knew about Jin." You stated softly. "You knew what he was going to do to me...and you didn't care. You didn't warn me...."

His eyes widened at the mention of the spirit's name, heart dropping to his stomach in anxiety.

"Y/n-"

"No!" You cut him off. "Don't say my name. I thought we were friends...I thought you cared about me-"

"I do!" He yelled desperately, shooting over to you and gripping your hand tightly in his. "I love you, Y/n."

You stared at him sadly.

"Then why did you let Jin kill me?"

He swallowed hard at that, eyes falling away from your face as he hung his head in shame.

"I-I'm sorry."

You shook your head.

"Sorry won't bring me back." You stated. " You should have told me the whole story. You should have told me the truth about Jin...Even if it means revealing your dirty little secret to me..."

He slowly looks back up at you.

"I-If I would have told you...You would have hated me."

You sighed.

"You could've saved me." You started. "But, now...I'm going to die

because of you."

"NO!"

Hoseok's loud shouted echoed throughout the thin walls of his small bedroom as he shot up from his laying position, chest heaving and body shaking from the terror he had just experienced.

He glanced around his room for a moment before sighing in relief, laying back down and running a hand through his black hair that was now damp with perspiration.

He stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, his mind going one-hundred miles a minute as he struggled to process the visions that had gone through his head.

It was just a nightmare,

But, god, did it feel real.

The way you looked. The way you spoke...Everything was so vivid and realistic...It was almost scary how well his subconscious had paid attention to you, getting every single detail right.

He couldn't help but shiver as your last words began to repeat themselves in his mind over and over again.

"I'm going to die...because of you."

He groaned, running a hand down his face.

He knew that it was only just a dream and nothing more. It was only his own doubts and fears manifesting in the forms of visions...but he couldn't help but feel worried-regretful.

In some, twisted way...You were right-well, "dream y/n" was at least..

Your life was in serious danger because he couldn't find the courage to tell you the truth...about everything.....

He wished that he could be more mature. He wished that he could be a better person, but he was selfish...He would rather let you die than to tell you his dirty, little secrets...and to him, that was despicable.

He slowly turned his head to look out the window, trying to determine if the sun had already risen...It hadn't. Moonlight poured in through his open window, illuminating his darkened room.

Hesitantly, he sat up.

His mind began to go over the first part of his dream...

It was too good to be true.

The way you felt in his arms. They way your skin made him feel warm and happy...The way you allowed him to hold you...It was all too perfect for him to simply let go.

Something inside of him snapped suddenly.

Realization slowly dawned on him, his eyes widening.

He wanted it.

He wanted everything that had happened in his dream...except the last bit, obviously.

He wanted to wake up with you in his arms, he wanted to have a family of his own with you...He wanted to take you away from this cursed palace, to a place where only the two of you could live...Until you were both ready to have a baby- to start a family.

He wanted it more than anything else.

But he wouldn't get it, if you died.

If he allowed Jin to have his way..You would be killed-trapped in a hell-like place with nowhere else to go..no one else to talk to...Alone.

You would be miserable...and Hoseok didn't want that....even if it meant you would hate him forever...

He shot up, grabbing one of his robes and loosely tying it around himself before throwing his door open.

He knew it was late and you were probably asleep, but he couldn't stop himself from marching to your chambers...

He had a mission.

He had determination.

He had something to tell you.

A/N,
