"He's dead..." that's what they heard from Jin, not a warm welcome, not a brotherly hug but tragic news.

The feeling of shock, sorrow, grief, and pain broke through their hearts and soul like a train. That's what the boys felt after hearing the news.

The feeling of guilt flooded Jimin's heart. he couldn't accomplish the man's last wish.

The boys couldn't utter a word, they just stood there looking at the elder boy with shock and sorrow displayed on their faces.

Namjoon ran both of his hands through his hair as he turned around cursing under his breath. Being the soft-hearted one, Taehyung started crying right away, resting his head on Jungkook's shoulder who sobbed silently at the news too.

"Oh, God..." Yoongi whispered, his state not better than his friends.

Y/N was shocked too. Sadness took over her senses. She remembered the day their mother Beyol died. She knew how it felt like. "Who's dead?" Mill whispered in Y/N's ears, seemingly confused.

"The husband of Mother Beyol." She whispered back, still looking at the boys with sadness in her eyes.

"What was that again?" Mill asked her referring to the word 'husband'.

Y/n sighed "soon you will learn." Mill looked at her leader with confusion written on her face.

But soon her face turned to a sad one when she remembered their mother beyol.

Jimin showed nothing, shared no word. But deep inside he was miserable, He just started walking inside his kingdom not so fastly due to him being injured. And soon he disappeared.

Jin lowered his gaze feeling helpless.

Y/N and Mill said nothing. Only they knew how it feels. Y/N remembered how she would cry every night till dawn, but comforted her friends at day with a strong face.

It wasn't easy. They were their parents. If it weren't for them, they would be dead or infected like the Rondiriks.

"I'm sorry guys," Y/N told the guys, patting Taehyung's back once as he couldn't stop his crying.

They all started walking inside. The atmosphere was mournful. Some were just standing and looking into nothingness, some were walking slowly as they kicked small rocks in their way.

It was like everyone was wearing a crying face mask. It was gloomy, somber. Nothing near fun and alive. They were all silent.

They were all shocked to even voice a word out. However, when they saw the two females, their eyes widened and they all stopped in their tracks.

Y/N and Mill felt kind of uneasy under these new male people's shocked gazes, but they followed Yoongi's lead.

It was evening, the sky was almost dark. The lights of the kingdom were illuminating. They stopped in front of a not very tall building. It seemed like an apartment.

They went inside and climbed the stairs to the second floor, then stopped in front of a door.

"You two can stay here. Rest and have a shower, or whatever you want then come down to the first floor. It's the cafeteria and they'll serve dinner in a few minutes."

Both of the girls nodded and opened the door. "The opposite room is mine, if you wanted anything comes and tells me," Yoongi said before Y/N could close the door and turned around to his room.

The room was big enough for two persons. It was a room with two beds and a cupboard. There was another door which was the bathroom.

Mill laid down on one of the beds as Y/N tool out fresh clothes for herself. "They must be very sad..." Mill mumbled out as she looked at the ceiling. Y/N nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

"You rest until I take a shower." She said and went in.

•••

After having dinner, The boys promised the girls that they would give them a small tour around the kingdom. But because they were tired and Lee Jeong-hoon's death tired them more as they said, they couldn't give them the tour that night.

As Y/N and Mill were walking up the stairs to their room, Y/N stopped as worries filled her body again. "Mill, you go to the room, I'll come later."

The doctor looked at her with a frown but brushed it off and nodded.

She headed outside and saw one of the boys who talked about Jimin with his friend throughout the dinner.

Since the minute they heard about Lee Jeong-hoon's death, Jimin went missing and he didn't come back till now which is nighttime.

Y/N was worried. He was injured and didn't have dinner. As Namjoon and Mill said, his injury needed treatment and changing of bandage, he didn't do that either.

She walked towards the boy who was standing and wiping a car which was parked. "Hey..." She softly called out.

The guy flinched and turned fastly and placed his hand on his chest as he breathed heavily. He wasn't used to such a beautiful and soft voice. And it wasn't good for him.

"Ah sorry. Y- ... Y/N, right?" The brown-haired boy asked.

"Yeah. You?"

"Hoseok."

"Nice to meet you. Do you possibly know where Jimin is?" Y/N asked as she looked around, her face expressionless like always and her voice cold.

"Why do you want-"

"Because he went missing the moment your friend told us that Lee Jeong-hoon is dead. He has an injury and hadn't had dinner." She quickly explained.

Hoseok looked at for a moment before letting out a sigh.

•••

She walked, walked, and walked till she reached the last small house in the far end of the kingdom. Right behind the small black house, there were the walls.

From the small windows of the house, the dim light could be seen by her which indicated that Jimin was sure there. She took a deep breath and walked to the door hesitating before knocking at it.

Once, twice and thrice. He didn't open it. She already was angry at his stupid behaviors. Who on earth goes into the unknown with a fresh injury?! But since his reason was sensitive, she couldn't say anything.

She angrily sighed, "Jimin it's me Y/N. I know you're here open the door."

A few seconds passed then he opened the door. He looked at her. He had dark circles under his eyes and he was pale. His bandage was visible under the unbuttoned black shirt and was stained with blood.

He expressionlessly just looked into her eyes. Then left the door open and walked inside. Y/N said nothing as well and walked after him after closing the door behind her.

The small living room had a brown sofa with a coffee table in front of it. She placed the container of food and the small aid kit on it.

Jimin looked at the things she brought but didn't pay much attention to them.

Not wanting to bother him a lot, Y/N silently sat beside him on the sofa, "I need to change your bandage and apply some ointment cream on your shoulder. Take off your shirt."

"No need to, I'll do it later-"

"Just let me do it." She forcefully said this time. Jimin sighed and unbuttoned the remaining buttons and took his shirt off.

Her eyes looked down at his bare torso, analyzing his toned abs. The difference in his body compared to a females' one shocked her. She knew that boys have a different body built, but seeing it in front of her eyes was something else.

He had a flat chest. And his body seemed so strong and rigid. His arms had biceps and veins were popping out along with his arm length.

Jimin noticed her unmoving body and turned his head to look at her. If it was another situation, and if he had the mood to these things, he would start teasing non-stop and even flirting with her. But when he saw her eyes roaming over his body, he sighed.

"Are you going to change these shits or what?"

She flinched and looked away as she cleared her throat, she could feel the warmth in her cheeks. It was starting to be regular, he was making her feel things she had never felt before.

She started changing it for real now.
Their faces were too close to feel each other's breath.

He was staring deeply at her face analyzing her focused expression while her hands did their work.

Her soft hands touching his wound carefully which made him close his eyes at her warmness.

Her heart started to beat faster as she felt his hard gaze on her.

"Is there something on my face?" she asked coldly while focusing on bandaging his shoulder.

"Beauty," he whispered enough for her to hear, her breath caught on her lungs but soon ignored the feeling.

She started to treat the wound that was on his abdomen "You have-" he cut her off as she looked up at him.

" he.." He lowered his gaze as sadness took over his senses.

"When he still was alive, he told us that when life on this earth was normal, every kid had two persons - one male and the other female - as their parents. Mother and Father."

She stopped for a moment but continued as she thought that it will be best if she listened out to him.

"The Mother would give birth to you, and the Father would work and earn money and would protect you." He was speaking quietly, his voice entering her ears softly.

"Ever since then, I looked at him as my father-" he hissed a bit when she pressures his wound accidentally.

"Sorry." She whispered.

He shook his head as a sign that he was okay. "I always was sure that he's our protector, that he's our lifesaver. I would never feel scared. But now that he's not here is very odd. I know I am old enough to not be broken. But I know the loss of my Father will change my life forever."

He looked at her eyes and she looked back at him too, both just staring at each other. "My dad was the best person I've ever known." And then tears rolled down his cheeks. Which made Y/N widen her eyes.

He was crying, right in front of her. How was that possible?

The great Park Jimin who always was very confident, who always teased her and made fun of her, was crying.

Her heartbeat increased and the first thing she did was grabbing the back of his head and leaning him closer to her embrace. When did I become so soft and caring? but that wasn't a thing to worry about. Jimin was crying for god's sake.

The moment his forehead landed on her chest, his emotions flowed out fastly and he started sobbing. He grabbed both of her hands and squeezed them as if he was asking for some strength.

She looked down at her hands in his ones and her heart ached.

"It's okay..." She didn't know what to say, she has never been in such a situation.

She hesitates a bit but caressed his soft hair, trying to soothe his pain. two hours have passed of Jimin crying which led him to sleep in her embrace for the night.

Leaving y/n all alone with her countless unanswered feelings.
