34.

As King Taehyung, Queen Y/n, Head Soldier Jungkook, and Minister Jin returned to their Seoul Kingdom, they were greeted with warm smiles and open arms. The kingdom was bustling with excitement and joy, still basking in the glory of their hard-won victory.

In the midst of the celebration, King Taehyung's sister and Jungkook's love, Kim Hyejin, waited anxiously to reunite with their loved ones. They were surrounded by their close friends, Jimin, Suga, Hobi, and Namjoon, who had all been eagerly awaiting the return of their companions.

As the king, queen, head soldier, and minister made their way through the crowds, they were met with cheers and applause. But their eyes were fixed on the familiar faces waiting for them, and they quickened their pace, eager to embrace their loved ones.

Princess Hyejin flung herself into her brother's arms, tears of joy streaming down her face. "Taehyung, I was so worried about you!" she exclaimed.

I missed you too little one. Taehyung replied with love in his eyes.

Then she went towards Jungkook and blushed shyly as Jungkook swept her into a tender embrace. "I missed you so much love," he whispered, his voice filled with emotion.

Jimin, Suga, Hobi, and Namjoon grinned from ear to ear, happy to see their friends return safely. They clapped each other on the back, exchanging stories and laughter.

Minister Jin smiled warmly, watching the reunions with a sense of contentment.

As the night wore on, King Taehyung couldn't help but notice the way Jungkook looked at his sister, Kim Hyejin. He had always known that Jungkook had feelings for her, but seeing it now, he felt a mix of emotions. He was happy for his sister, but also protective of her.

Queen Y/n noticed the king's gaze and followed it to Jungkook and Kim Hyejin, who were laughing and talking together. She smiled knowingly and leaned into the king. "They make a good couple, don't they?" she whispered.

"Indeed, they do," King Taehyung replied, his eyes still fixed on Jungkook and Kim Hyejin. "But I still can't believe my little sister is all grown up and in love."

Queen Y/n chuckled. "Well, she's not that little anymore, Taehyung. And Jungkook is a good man. He'll take care of her."

Just then, Jungkook and Kim Hyejin approached the king and queen, hand in hand. "Hey, Taehyung, what's going on?" Jungkook asked, noticing the king's thoughtful expression.

"Oh, just thinking about how fast time flies," King Taehyung replied, smiling at his sister. "It seems like just yesterday you were a little girl, Hyejin, and now you're all grown up and in love."

Kim Hyejin blushed and leaned into Jungkook. "I'm happy, Taehyung. Jungkook makes me very happy."

Jungkook smiled and put his arm around her. "I'll always take care of her, hyung. I promise."

Queen Y/n smiled warmly at the couple. "We're all happy for you both. Now, let's enjoy the rest of the celebration. We can talk more about this later."

The next day, King Taehyung and Queen Y/n were enjoying a quiet breakfast in the palace gardens when Minister Jin approached them, looking concerned.

"Your Majesties, I need to speak with you about something," Minister Jin said, his voice low and serious.

"What is it, Jin?" King Taehyung asked, setting down his cup.

"It's about the recent victory celebration," Minister Jin replied. "I've received reports of strange occurrences happening around the kingdom. Tools gone missing, strange noises at night, and some of the guards have reported seeing shadowy figures lurking in the alleys."

Queen Y/n frowned. "That doesn't sound like mere coincidence. What do you think is going on?"

Just then, Jungkook and Kim Hyejin approached the group, looking concerned. "What's going on?" Jungkook asked.

Minister Jin filled them in on the strange occurrences . Kim Hyejin's eyes widened in alarm.

"Do you think it's connected to the strange dreams I've been having?" she asked.

Everyone turned to her in surprise. "What dreams?" King Taehyung asked.

Kim Hyejin hesitated. "I've been having these vivid dreams about dark forests and shadowy figures. I didn't think much of it, but now I'm not so sure."

The group exchanged worried glances. What could be causing these strange occurrences and dreams?

As the group discussed the strange occurrences, Jimin, Suga, Hobi, and Namjoon approached them, curious about the serious expressions.

"What's going on?" Jimin asked, his brow furrowed.

Minister Jin filled them in on the reports of missing tools, strange noises, and shadowy figures. Suga's eyes narrowed.

"That doesn't sound right. I've been hearing weird noises at night too."

Hobi nodded. "Me too. I thought it was just the wind, but..."

Namjoon's expression turned grave. "I think we should investigate. This could be serious."

"Okay, let's summarize what we know," King Taehyung said, his brow furrowed in concern. "Tools have gone missing, strange noises have been heard at night, and some of us have seen shadowy figures lurking around."

Queen Y/n nodded. "And we still don't know what's causing it."

Minister Jin spoke up. "I think we should investigate further. Tonight, under the cover of darkness."

The group nodded in agreement.

That night, they set out onto the streets of the kingdom, armed with torches and a sense of trepidation.

As they walked, they noticed strange things. Windows would slam shut on their own, and the wind would carry eerie whispers.

"This is creepy," Kim Hyejin whispered, clinging to Jungkook's arm.

Jungkook tried to reassure her, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease himself.

Suddenly, Suga stopped in his tracks. "Look," he whispered, pointing to a dark alleyway.

In the distance, they saw a figure in a hooded cloak, lurking in the shadows.

"What do we do?" Jimin whispered.

Namjoon stepped forward. "Let's go talk to it."

As they approached the figure, it vanished into thin air.

"What the...?" Hobi trailed off, his eyes wide with fear.

The group continued their search, but the occurrences only grew stranger and more frequent.

They saw ghostly apparitions flitting around corners, and heard disembodied voices whispering in their ears.

"This is getting out of hand," King Taehyung said, his voice firm. "We need to find the source of this and put an end to it."

But as they turned a corner, they saw something that made their blood run cold...

As they turned the corner, they saw a group of people standing in a circle, their eyes black as coal. They were chanting in unison, their voices low and menacing.

"What are they doing?" Queen Y/n whispered, her voice trembling.

Minister Jin's face was pale. "I don't know, but I think we should get out of here."

But it was too late. The group had already noticed them.

The chanting stopped, and the people turned to face them. Their eyes seemed to bore into their souls.

"Welcome," one of them hissed. "We've been waiting for you."

Jungkook stepped forward, his hand on the hilt of his sword. "What's going on here?"

The person who spoke earlier smiled, revealing razor-sharp teeth. "We're summoning something. Something ancient and powerful."

Kim Hyejin clung to Jungkook's arm, her eyes wide with fear. "What is it?"

The smile grew wider. "You'll see soon enough."

Suddenly, the air grew colder, and the wind picked up. The group felt a presence behind them.

"Turn around," a voice whispered in their ears.

They turned to see a figure cloaked in shadows, its eyes glowing red.

"Oh no," Hobi whispered. "What have we gotten ourselves into?"

The figure began to move towards them, its presence filling the air with an unspeakable horror.

"We need to get out of here, now!" Namjoon yelled, but it was too late.

The figure reached out a shadowy hand and touched Jungkook's face...

Jungkook screamed as the figure's touch burned his skin. "Ahh! What's happening?"

Kim Hyejin tried to pull him away, but the figure's grip was too strong. "Jungkook, no!"

The figure leaned in, its breath cold and rank. "You should not have come here," it whispered.

Suddenly, the world around them began to distort and writhe, like a living nightmare. The group stumbled back, horrified.

"What's happening?" Queen Y/n asked.

Minister Jin's eyes were wide. "I think we're being pulled into a different realm."

The figure released Jungkook, who stumbled back, gasping. But as they looked around, they saw that they were no longer in the kingdom.

They were in a twisted, nightmarish landscape, surrounded by grotesque creatures that defied explanation.

"This is hell," Suga whispered, his voice trembling.

Namjoon drew his sword, ready to face whatever horrors awaited them. "We need to find a way out of here."

But as they looked around, they realized that they were completely alone. No sign of civilization, no hope of rescue.

Just the endless, twisted landscape, and the creatures that lurked within.

"What do we do?" Jimin whispered, his eyes wide with fear.

But before anyone could answer, a voice boomed from the shadows, echoing off the twisted rocks.

"Welcome to my domain," it said. "You will never leave."

And as the group trembled with fear, the creatures began to close in..."I can't believe this is happening," Kim Hyejin whispered, her voice shaking. "We have to find a way out of here."

"But how?" Jungkook replied, his eyes scanning the twisted landscape. "We don't even know where we are."

"We need to keep moving," Namjoon said, his sword still drawn. "Find shelter, and figure out our next move."

But as they walked, the landscape only grew more distorted. Rocks twisted into grotesque shapes, and the air grew thick with an eerie, pulsating mist.

"This place is driving me crazy," Hobi whispered, his eyes wide with fear.

"Stay close," Queen Y/n said, her voice firm. "We have to stick together if we're going to survive this."

But even as they walked, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. That unblinking eyes were trained on them from the shadows.

"I feel like we're being herded," Suga said, his voice low. "Pushed towards something."

"But what?" Jimin replied, his voice trembling.

As they crested a twisted ridge, they saw it. A vast, dark castle loomed before them, its towers reaching like skeletal fingers towards the sky.

"Oh no," Minister Jin whispered. "What is that place?"

But before anyone could answer, a cold wind swept through, extinguishing their torches and plunging them into darkness.

And in the darkness, they heard it. A low, ominous chuckle. Echoing off the rocks. Growing louder with every passing moment..."What was that?" Kim Hyejin whispered, her voice trembling.

"I don't know, but I don't like it," Jungkook replied, his eyes straining into the darkness.

"We need to keep moving," Namjoon said, his sword still clutched in his hand. "Find shelter before it gets any worse."

But as they stumbled forward, the chuckling grew louder, more menacing. It seemed to come from all directions, echoing off the rocks.

"This is driving me crazy," Hobi whispered, his eyes wide with fear.

"Stay close," Queen Y/n said, her voice firm. "We have to stick together."

But even as they walked, the darkness seemed to press in around them. The chuckling grew louder, more intense.

"I feel like we're being surrounded," Suga said, his voice low.

"By what?" Jimin replied, his voice barely audible.

As they walked, the ground beneath their feet began to shift and writhe. Like a living thing.

"What's happening?" Minister Jin cried, stumbling.

But before anyone could answer, the ground gave way beneath them. They fell, tumbling through darkness, the chuckling growing fainter...

And then, silence.

They lay there, panting, waiting for their eyes to adjust to the darkness.

But as they looked around, they saw nothing. No walls, no floor, no ceiling.

Just an endless, oppressive blackness.

"Where are we?" Kim Hyejin whispered, her voice trembling.

But no one had an answer.

"Where's  Taehyung?" Queen Y/n whispered, her voice laced with worry.
