Ch-40

The journey towards their kingdom led the brothers' thoughts astray, as each of them found their minds wandering to their respective lovers. Jimin, a hint of uncertainty in his voice, mused aloud, "I don't know how she's doing, what's going on with her." Hoseok agreed, adding, "We need to meet them, to ensure they are safe and sound."

The brothers exchanged glances, their concern for their loved ones evident. Yoongi asked, "Are all of you going?"

Jungkook responded with a nod, "We can always return here after meeting them."

Jin, the voice of caution, reminded them, "But make sure not to alert our enemies."

Taehyung, however, expressed a valid point, "But we don't even know who we can consider as enemies."

The brothers engaged in a lively discussion, each emphasizing the importance of ensuring their loved ones' wellbeing. Hoseok pleaded with Yoongi, "We should all go. We need to confirm that all seven of them are fine."

Yoongi initially hesitated but after being playfully persuaded by the others, he acquiesced, "Fine... but I can assure you, not even a demon can touch her."

The others chuckled and rolled their eyes at his overprotective tone.

"What? I am telling the truth" Yoongi stated, "and i guess she isn't missing me either"

"Hyung!" Hoseok added.

"Even if she is not missing you, she is your responsibility, don't forget she is your fiance" Jin said

"I forgot everything and he is saying don't forget" Yoongi muttered.

Namjoon laid out a plan for the upcoming evening. "Alright, so around evening time, we'll be back here," he stated.

He added a stern warning, emphasizing the potential dangers of being out after sunset. "Don't be late. It's too dangerous at night."

The brothers nodded and split up into pairs, setting out on their respective journeys to meet their loved ones. Jin and Jimin stuck together, while Hoseok and Jungkook paired up. The others, Yoongi, Taehyung and Namjoon, went their separate ways.

Jin called out to Jimin, requesting his assistance in reaching the balcony. Jimin nodded in agreement. However, Jimin couldn't resist teasing Jin, adding, "But hyung, you aren't too heavy, right?" Jin responded with a playful glare, clearly not amused by his younger brother's lighthearted jab.

As Jimin approached the lakeside and fixed his gaze upon the familiar figure, he was momentarily captivated. She was dressed in a navy blue gown, her hair meticulously pulled into a bun. Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still for a moment before he snapped out of his trance.

She stepped towards him and enveloped him in a warm embrace, her voice trembling. "You... you are alright."

Jimin reciprocated the embrace, pulling her closer and peppering her head with gentle kisses. He reassured her softly, "I am alright... I am fine..." He pulled away and kissed her forehead. "I missed you" Luna whispered with happy tears. "I missed you too..."

Jin cautiously made his way through the seemingly endless corridor, taking refuge behind a door to evade detection from the guards. He peeked inside the room and entered, only to find a figure lunging toward him in attack. However, he swiftly caught her hands, preventing any harm.

Amelia's eyes widened, her disbelief evident. "You are alive!!"

Jin rolled his eyes, a hint of amusement on his face. "You thought I died?"

Amelia didn't respond, but the relief in her voice was evident. "No... but it's good, you're fine."

Jin's gaze softened. "I hate to admit this...." Amelia took a deep breath, "i did miss you" She was looking away and Jin chuckled. "You missed me?" He smirked and she glared at him. "I am gonna beat you with this stick now" She chased him, "hey hey wait" Jin ran around the room.

Annalise wandered near the waterfall, skillfully creating a playful tornado in her hand. She was abruptly interrupted when a familiar touch came into view beside her, creating a fireball like her, she immediately turn towards Hoseok.

Initially, Annalise thought she was dreaming, her disbelief evident. However, Hoseok's reassuring words broke the spell. "It's not a dream," he reassured her, his smile warm.

Annalise's emotions overwhelmed her, and tears streamed down her face. Hoseok witnessed her distress and, despite his initial hesitation, he chose to embrace his feelings. He held her tightly in his arms, offering comfort as he spoke softly to her. "I am fine... it's okay," he murmured, his words gently soothing her.

Daisy was engaged in the endearing act of feeding some animals when one of the bunnies broke away and dashed towards someone. Curiosity piqued, she looked up and froze.

With a hint of humor in her voice, she inquired, "Are you a masked guard, attempting to kidnap me and then make me the food of a demon?"

Jungkook chuckled, unable to contain his amusement at her unique question. "Well, you're wrong, Princess," Jungkook responded with a firm tone, causing Daisy to be puzzled by his words.

She then inquired further, a hint of confusion in her voice, "Then are you a disguised monster..? Wait, wait, why are you coming to me?"

Jungkook quickened his pace and enveloped her in a tight embrace, lifting her feet off the ground.

"It's really you..." Daisy whispered softly.

Taehyung observed Aurora as she delicately crafted both a flower crown and necklace, her smile radiant as butterflies danced around her. A wave of emotion washed over him, and a tear threatened to escape his eye, which he quickly wiped away.

He approached her, his voice carrying a hushed tone as he whispered, "Aurora."

Aurora was stunned. Taehyung knelt down in front of her, his smile gentle and warm. Words eluded Aurora as Taehyung took her hand and gently kissed her knuckles, his touch tender and affectionate.

He observed tears streaming down her cheeks and swiftly wiped them, his voice barely above a whisper as he soothingly said, "Don't cry, love."

Taehyung was caught off guard when Aurora unexpectedly wrapped her arms around him, and she began to cry. His surprise was replaced by a sense of warmth and empathy as he enveloped her in his arms, offering comfort and support.

Namjoon was walking towards the familiar library and he saw the librarian who smiled seeing him. "She isn't here" He muttered and Namjoon thought about a place and went to the cemetery. He walked around and found a certain redhead. He smiled and walked cautiously. "Boo"

Isla screamed, Namjoon covered his ears and then covered her mouth. Isla widened her eyes and he got amused. "Yah!!! Namjoon" He widened his eyes, "did you just call my correct name?" 

Isla expressed her surprise and frustration, saying, "Gosh! I can't believe this! After vanishing for two months, you come back, scaring me like this?"

Namjoon felt a pang of guilt and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Isla sighed and stood up, her pout evident. "Well, I missed you," she admitted.

Namjoon chuckled, his expression softened. "I'm glad," he said, earning a glare from her. He couldn't help but giggle at her annoyed reaction.

Yoongi strolled aimlessly through the courtyard, his expression betraying his disinterest. However, his gaze caught sight of her sitting by the side of the garden, seemingly lost in thought.

Approaching her, he awkwardly greeted her, "Hey..."

She immediately noticed his presence and responded with a hesitant, "H-hey." There was a palpable awkwardness between them.

Diana confessed her concern, speaking honestly with Yoongi. "To be honest, I was worried... When I heard you and your brothers were missing, I wanted to find you all, but I was powerless to do so."

Yoongi listened attentively to her words, his gaze softening as he looked at her. For the first time, their expressions reflected a moment of understanding and vulnerability.

Yoongi responded softly, "I am here... We found our way back."

Diana smiled softly in response,"You look pretty when you smile," he remarked. Her cheeks blushing a rosy hue. Yoongi chuckled, his gaze fixed on her, "And cute when blushing"

Diana's face flushed further, and she looked away, her voice barely above a whisper. "Don't make me flustered," she protested, a hint of embarrassment in her tone.
