"YAH JIHOOㅡ"

"no. don't. jihoon , put the knife down and we'll talk" i said calmly.

he still held the knife at my neck. "why should i remove it ?" he said into my ear. "because i know you. i know you better than anyone else. put it down jihoon. do you really want me to die ?" i asked him calmly.

he hesitated at first and still held his position but soon after he removed his knife. i turned to him. he looks so different. he looks like me except that he is blue. the stick , his eyes , his hair , his veins. its all blue. "boys , go outside for a while" i said and they obeyed.

once the door closed , i locked it and removed my stick/spearㅡ whatever you call it. it became a cube again but my features stayed. "why ? why jihoon ? didn't i tell you already ?" i asked angrily.

he looked down. he scoffed. "why not ? those glitchers are trying to help their people. didn't i say ? i won't listen to you" he was going to continue but i decided to speak. "you will listen to me jihoon. i don't give a shit about how you feel. don't you understand how hard it is for them to live right now ? do you want that ?" i said seriously. he looked into my eyes.

we stared at each other for quite sometime until i looked away. he's not answering me.

"do you want that ?" i slammed my hand beside his face on the wall. he didn't flinch. i could tell he was shocked since he never saw me this angry before. "answer me jihoon"

"i-i don't k-know" he stuttered.

"then why are you doing it ? don't you know how it feels to be in danger ?" i said to him. i could feel my tears well up but i held it back. the room fell silent. it wasn't awkward but i could tell jihoon was uncomfortable. i sighed and spoke up.

"jihoon-ah , listen to me. you have to stop. this world is going to suffer because of you and if you don't stop this , then , they all die. including the boys and me" when i said "me" he looked up with wide eyes. i looked into his eyes for a few minutes.

"uhh..(y/n)-ah we kinda have to go now. there are people trying to get into the queen's kingdom. we have to go now"i heard taeyong say.

i glared a jihoon. he for once looked scared. "jihoon , you are coming with me" i said and grabbed his wrist. we went out of the room and the boys looked at us.

"let's go" and we went off.

ㅡ

it didn't take long to arrive at the kingdom. we saw a few people breaking into the window. suddenly , the ground started shaking and huge stone giants ?? came out of the ground. i looked to it and then i realised... jihoon has a stone necklace and the texture is the same..

i looked back to jihoon who looked at them horrifyingly. i rolled my eyes and i told mark to follow me.

"just stay here everyone" mark says.

we walked stealthily among the trees so no one could see us. i actually got to know mark better since we talked quite a lot. he likes watermelon , he's a good rapper , he can play the guitar and all sorts. i looked out for anything suspicious but we saw nothing.

we finally made it to the kingdom and we found a pipe at the back of the kingdom. its big enough to fit two people. we went to the back and looked through it. mark looked uneasy but i reassured him that everything will be okay. he went up first then helped me up too. before we started walking , i tried to hear for sounds or voices. i couldn't hear anything but just people murmuring. that's unusual. i tried listening again but i can't hear anyone or anything.

i was about to try again until i heard someone from outside. "there's a pipe at the back. we can go through there" i heard someone say. we can't let them get in.

"mark , people want to get in here. we need to block this big pipe" i said worriedly.

he just smirked and instantly , the hole at the pipe was covered. it was dark but i brought the cube so the cube glowed. "woah , i didn't know you could do that mark. great job" i said to him and punched his arm playfully. he just smiled. he held my wrist and we walked side by side. he let go of my arm too. we tried not to make any sound but i could hear murmurs. i listened carefully , and now i can hear voices. "they are trying to get into the kingdom. block every entrance" a lady commanded.

she must be the queen. i held marks shoulder , preventing him to move. he looked back and he saw my worried face.

"your highness , we will kill anyone who intends to come into the kingdom" i heard her guard say.

i looked to mark fully of worry. they will kill anyone ? even us ?
