Rosè's POV

"What's wrong?" I looked up at Jennie while biting at my index finger's nail.

"Nothing, I'm just worried about Jenifer" I put my hand down on my lap.

"Why? What happened?"

"She went to see Chou. She hasn't been back since long."

".....Should we go check?"

"But how? I don't know where she might've gone. I don't know where Elizabeth lives"

"We can search...... "

"Yeah.... But it'll be hard. Searching in the city would take forever."

"What about the forest?" I looked at her as she looked back.

"We could try there......" I got up. "Definitely try there. Let's hurry"

•

"See anything?" I said in the earpiece as I looked in the forest from above.

"Nope" She replied. "Except... A river."

"Yeah. I see it to-" My eyes landed on a rooftop.

"Rosè?"

"Y-yeah. I think I found something. I think it's a house"

"What? Where are you?"

"Just follow the river. Make sure it's on your right"

"Alright. Coming" I proceeded to fly towards the roof. Soon enough I was faced with a cottage surrounded by ivy walls.

"Jennie, I think I've found where her sister lives" I said over the ear piece.

"Do you see anyone?"

"No"

"What now?"

"I don't know. How far are you? "

"Almost there. I can see you"

"Okay" I looked around as I waited for Jennie. I couldn't find anyone. I didn't risk going over the ivy walls. I might get caught.

But what if she was caught?

I bit my lower lip. I slowly landed and looked around. I searched the ground. I saw leaves, lots of them scattered in almost a circle in one area. The earth was also disturbed there.

Did something happen?

"Alright, I'm here" I looked up as Jennie came down. "Find anything useful? "

"Leaves. Pretty much everywhere" We both looked around.

"There are broken roots here" She pointed at an area. I squinted at the ground.

"And a trail of dirt" I said as I walked closer. It was in fact a rough and almost camouflaged trail. "Like something was dragged."

"We should follow it."

"Yeah" We started following the trail. It was quite long. "I hope it leads to something" We continued until Jennie abruptly stopped. I looked at her.

"What?" She raised her hand and pointed at a tree. I could see lump of something beside it.

"I see something there." She said and lead the way. As we got closer, the lump seem to start making sense too until.

"JENIFER!"

•

A week later

"You lost a lot of blood too" I was telling Jenifer what had happened. She finally came conscious after a week we found her in the forest, all beaten up.

"I'm gonna kill her" Jennie said. Jenifer chuckled.

"Don't. It's okay. I agreed to it anyway."

"I'm glad you are okay." I sighed. "I thought I lost you too. I was really worried"

"Yeah" Jennie said.

"I'm sorry to make you guys worried. "

"No it's okay. Next time, we are gonna be there with you. Okay?" Jenifer nodded.

"And kick their ass so hard they'll regret messing up with us" Jennie fumed.

"Soooo not intimidating" I said with a poker face.

"Oh shut up."

Elizabeth's POV

I was at the apartment, eating crackers and thinking about random stuff. Everything has been so far really peaceful but that didn't stop me from doubting Jin and worrying about the twins. We are still unable to locate them and Jisoo.

We have people helping us find them. But so far no one has presented good news.

I sighed, putting away the packet of crackers.

" 'Sup? " Soyeon said as she sat down on the couch.

"Nothing much. You? "

"Never better" She said in a fake British accent.

"Can you stop being Hermione for once? " I rolled my eyes.

"Nope" She said. I sighed once again. "So, how's Chou?" She asked as she grabbed the packet of crackers.

"She's fine..... Well not exactly. She's been feeling pretty lonely nowadays. In fact she's still angry at me."

"Then take her out like she asked. "

"It's not safe for her"

"Liz, it's not like you are gonna send her alone. You'll be with her. If you'd like then I'll tag along" I thought about it. Would it really be okay to take her out?

"Should I really?"

"Definitely should"

"Sigh Fine" Soyeon put a hand in my shoulder and squeezed it gently.

"Everything will be alright" I looked at her. She smiled and I smiled back.

"Thanks" I murmured.

Jungkook's POV

I was lying on my bed, doing nothing but staring at the ceiling for the past 2 hours. My wounds had recovered and I was well. Physically but not mentally. Not much at least.

I had a scar around my neck and on my back and front from the heavy injuries.

I sighed and sat up, looking around my room. It was really messy now. I should seriously clean it. It would keep me busy at least.

I got up, grabbed my phone and searched for a song. I finally decided with Side Effects by Stray Kids. I turned the volume up and started with the white shirts on the desk chair. While cleaning the room, I'd do some steps of the song.

I finally reached my desk. I started stacking the notebooks and neatly put away the stationery scattered on the desk. I then opened my drawer. I paused as I saw the green paper boat in it. The one that kid gave me on a rainy day. I turned it upside down and their they were, the initials.

KTH

I never got the chance to ask that kid his name, let alone see him. I carefully placed the paper boat on the shelf above my desk. With a last glance at it, I quickly finished tidying up the desk area.

After that, I fell on the bed, exhausted.

"Man, I'm sleepy" I murmured. My eyes were starting to droop and soon enough, I drifted off to sleep.

•

Darkness.

And then I see it.

A faint blue glow in the distance.

I started walking towards it. It got closer and closer until I reached a doorframe from where the glow emitted. I entered and I saw big and small glass cases aligned against the wall. There were antique artifacts in them.

I studied some of these. Some were ugly, others were beautiful. I didn't know about any of these though. I continued to look around.

I finally came across a door in the corner of the room. I opened the door to find a passageway. Out of curiosity, I continued to walk. It was a thin passageway with caged lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling.

As I walked on, I ended up at a dead end which left me confused. I looked around for a handle but it was quite dark to find one, so I pressed my palms on the wall and started searching for a handle.

I did find one when I reached the left wall. I grabbed it and turned it. Inside was a big room. I walked in and there was a big, horizontal glass case which was covered by a curtain of blue strings.

A/N - Just pretend there's a glass case inside that...

I could see something inside the glass case but not tell what it was. I continued to get closer. Inside it was a man. He had black wings. Then I saw his face and I ran forward.

"TAEHYUNG!"

I fell on my knees as I put my hands on the case, banging at it.

"TAEHYUNG? TAEHYUNG! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" He didn't stir. He was just lying there, limp.

"TAE! PLEASE WAKE UP!" I was sobbing now as my hands were now fisted and I was banging harder, trying to break the glass but it won't.

"TAE! DAMMIT, FUCKING WAKE UP!" I leaned my forehead on the case, and sobbed.

When I looked up, my eyes widened.

"What..... " I pressed my hands on the glass case, my mouth open, my breath fogging the glass. "Taehyung!"

He was crumbling away.

"TAEHYUNG!" He was crumbling. He was disappearing. "No. No. No. NO!"

When his face was about to disappear, he suddenly opened his eyes and a tear fell out of the right one as he looked at me.

"TAEHYUNG-"

And he disappeared.

•

I woke up with a gasp. I looked around to find myself in my room, a song still playing.

It was a dream.

I let out a sigh as I panted. I ran a hand on my face then through my hair. I was lightly sweating as well. I grabbed my phone and paused the song.

Damn these nightmares.

I got up, grabbed my jacket and went out of my room. In the lounge I found Elizabeth and Soyeon.

"If someone asks, I went for a walk" I said reaching the door and without waiting for an answer, I went out.

•

The weather was damp and cold. It is January after all...

I didn't really had a destination at the moment so I just kept walking, letting my feet guide me.

I wonder what Taehyung was doing. Now that I mention him,  if it wasn't obvious then I miss him a lot. Fucking a lot. And I still loved him of course. Very much.

I've been thinking about something a lot nowadays. What would it be like though? To have his mark on me? I'd love to have him mark me then walk around with it, telling people I was his. I was Kim Taehyung's.

That would be great. I smiled.

I soon decided to stop to see where I ended up. And would it be weird to say I ended up in front of his house.
