5 YEARS LATER

"Kim Taehyung, son of Kim Beom Seok and Park Ji Ah, was a brave soldier to our country who was successful in killing Kim Seokjin, the ruthless leader of Erasird. He killed himself trying to protect us, our people. We are still grateful to him even after years of him dying. This museum in his name is to honor his bravery and kindness towards us. There were two more soldiers with him that have kept their identity a secret---"

The man on a stage wearing a suit lectured his pupils. I stood behind crossing my arms and softly smiled listening to the lecture.

"He can't be forgotten." The owner of the museum that was beside me said as I slowly nodded.

"Because of him, today, Molvania and Erasird are one. Yes, he killed himself. But he thought it right--"

"There was no other way." I cut him off and the old man in front of me paused. There were several children around us who were listening to the lecture with focus.

"I guess he was impatient to kill him," I muttered looking away and standing alone.

═⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯═

"Here. This way." A policeman opened the gates as he pointed outside and Jungkook politely bowed towards him standing in the prison building. He wore a loose T-shirt and a jacket that hung over his arm.

Jungkook bowed again as he decided to step out.

"Your stay here is over. Live a great life, man." Jungkook could hear the policeman's words as he silently bopped his head walking out.

Taking slow steps, he looked up at the sun which wasn't so bright in the sky. His lips curved up in a slow and small smile seeing the sun after so many years.

His hair was all tousled as he looked down with that same smile and ruffled his hair more throwing his jacket over his shoulder.

He stepped more, looking up from the ground and seeing me standing far away with a car beside me.

His smile widened looking at me. I opened the door bowing a little acting like a servant. He chuckled with an amused expression walking towards me and sitting in the car.

"Where do you wanna go first, sir?"

"I am tired. So please take me home, ma'am."

FLASHBACK

I sat on the stairs outside the house in Erasird. We're so lethargic nowadays. Me, Jungkook, and Taehyung. We had a mission to do and we were laying around the house.

I sipped the juice from my cup of drink staring at the beautiful moon resting in the sky and giving its mesmerizing glows.

I could hear the voice of the door opening behind me as I turned around seeing Taehyung walking out and taking a seat beside me.

"Erasird is so beautiful. I never would've thought it was so-" I cut him off pointing my finger at him when he had sat down.

"Words are less to describe Erasird." He breathed out a chuckle after hearing my words.

"Of course."

"Taehyung, I think we should stop lazying around." I acted as if I'd faint at the moment.

"We should, but I am being more lazy than you all." He turned towards the moon staring at it as I sipped my drink gazing with him at the pretty sky.

"You know what, Dae?" Taehyung muttered still busy taking in the view.

"Hm?" I hummed as he continued.

"I think we won't get out of here alive. At least one of us." I turned to him as he slowly bit his lower lip.

"Even if we had to die, I would go die alone...since you and Jungkook have a life to live."

"Ah, stop talking like that." I glared at him and he giggled.

"You both are a beautiful couple. I wouldn't want one of you to die and the other to live in pain all their live."

I rapidly shook my head as he slowly ruffled my hair warmly.

"I am your elder. So I will protect you both."
