"Uncle Yoongi!"

Hyunwoo darts to the limping man entering the tent, jumping and wrapping his arms around his legs.

Yoongi grunts, his hand resting above his abdomen where he was stabbed. He smiles a little, ruffling Hyunwoo's hair as Ellen and Taehyung were the next ones to wrap their arms around him. 

"God, since when did you all become so mushy?"

Yoongi croaks out, and they laugh. His hooded, kitty eyes dart around the tent, his eyebrows knit into a deep frown.

"Where's Eunbi?"

"She's gone for-"

"Oh my god, Yoongi!"

A shrill yell startles everyone in the tent as Eunbi rushes to him, throwing her arms around him. A small smile creeps up on his face as she cups her hands on his soft cheeks.

"Thank God you're alright."

She mutters, her eyes travelling his bandaged abdomen. 

After they had all eaten, they slowly sank down beside the two beds situated at the corner of the tent.

Complete exhaustion and fatigue had taken over their bodies, and the little girl lay snuggled under the sheets beside Hyunwoo.

Lamps were placed on the floor beside numerous beds, shedding an unclear dim yellow light on their surroundings. Since Hyunwoo and the girl were sharing a bed, Ellen taps the empty one beside it.

"Eunbi, you're up here."

Eunbi gawks at her, shaking her head.

"N-No, Yoongi needs to sleep on a bed. He isn't fully recovered."

Yoongi turns up beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"You're pregnant. I can never let a pregnant woman sleep on the ground while I was on a bed."

"But-"

"No buts, Eunbi. Go."

Yoongi says sternly as a low sigh escaped her lips. She mutters a small 'Fine' before slowly sitting down onto the bed, nibbling on her lower lip as Taehyung, Ellen and Yoongi lay sheets on the dusty ground with some pillows around the two beds.

With a grunt, Yoongi makes himself comfortable before pulling a blanket up his chest. After Ellen kisses Hyunwoo goodnight, silence befalls upon the atmosphere as darkness creeps across the sky.

Hours passed as Eunbi lay on her back, the enchantment of sleep refusing to tug on her eyelids. She freezes when an arm slides around her, and she slowly turns her head to the side.

Her breath hitches, the hair standing up on the back of her neck when she looks straight into the familiar brown doe eyes of her beloved soulmate.

His cheeks push up into a happy smile, his bunny-like teeth on display as he snuggles into the sheets beside her.

She squeezed her eyes shut, shaking her head.

No, I thought this went away.

Why is it happening again?

No, please. Not here, I can't do this.

"Our baby looked so beautiful today." His voice whispers in her ears. A silent whimper escaped her lips when she juts her hand out in attempt to push him away, but she felt nothing but the ice cold air hanging silently around them.

"Leave me alone. I don't want to see you anymore."

She manages to say, and she's finally greeted by a deafening silence. Shivering, she peels an eye open and her chest rises and falls heavily when her gaze falls to the small empty space beside her.

All of a sudden, Hyunwoo sits up. Eunbi furrows her eyebrows when he slides out of the bed quietly, his small feet landing on the ground with a thud.

She whispers out to him. "Hyun-"

She's cut off when a sniffle escapes his small body, and she sits up in worry. Her worry soon begins to fade when she sees the boy lower himself beside Yoongi.

Yoongi startles, his fist clenching and raising in a reflex motion before slowly relaxing when he sees the boy snuggle beside him.

"Hyunwoo, what are you doing?"

Yoongi whispers in a low voice as Hyunwoo lays his head on Yoongi's bicep beneath him.

"B-Bad dream."

The boy splutters, shifting closer to Yoongi. He looks down at Hyunwoo, the faint tear stains on his cheeks glinting under the dim light.

He didn't know how to reply to the child, as he was never good with handling children. But the much larger reason was because children never warmed up to him, they didn't like his gruffy exterior since Yoongi didn't open himself up to people he didn't know.

Only the people he truly loved had seen the different sides of him, and that was no larger than the group of people around him at that moment.

His breath is caught in his throat when Hyunwoo's arms wrap around his waist, barely reaching across half his abdomen as the boy whispers.

"Please don't die again, Uncle Yoongi."

Yoongi stares down at him, speechless as his hand awkwardly pats Hyunwoo's arm.

 "I-I didn't die. You don't have to be so... afraid. I'm here now."

"I love you, Uncle Yoongs."

Yoongi's eyes dart down to the boy, his lips parting hesitantly before closing them shut when he sees the boy's eyes close, his deep breaths and calm exterior giving away that he was captured in the grasp of sleep.

Eunbi watched on with a soft smile on her face and she lets out a small sigh of satisfaction when she sees Yoongi's arm slide around Hyunwoo, resting on his petite shoulder.

However, her peace is short lived when small whimpers and cries are heard from the bed beside hers. She runs a hand through her hair, realizing the situation.

The children are tormented in their dreams. How much longer will this go on?

She slowly steps out of her bed and moves over to the one beside hers, sliding underneath the blanket.

"Hey."

She whispers softly, her arm gently shaking the disturbed girl next to her. The girl is pulled out of her dream, her red rimmed, glassy eyes meeting those of Eunbi's.

"Is everything alright?"

Eunbi whispers and the girl parts her quivering lips, tears beginning to escape her sorrowful eyes once more.

"I-I want my m-mama."

Eunbi's heart drops to her stomach, as a painful emotion takes over her when she realizes there was no way to sugarcoat the girl's desire.

Eunbi runs a hand over the girl's hair as strangled sobs leave her lips.

"What's your name?" Eunbi asks, trying to divert the conversation elsewhere.

"Luna."

A smile stretches across Eunbi's face, her finger poking the girl's cheek.

"That's such a pretty name. What does it mean?"

"I don't know, but mama told me it was something to do with the moon because she loved staring up at the night sky."

Her eyes begin to well with drops of sorrow once more at the mention of her mother, and Eunbi's smile slowly fades.

There was nothing she could do to avoid the topic and no matter what avenues she decided to take, it ended up leading to the same place.

But she couldn't do it.

She didn't have the courage nor the heart to tell the girl that her mother was no more, and that she would never see her looking up into the night sky again, but will rather be watching down on her from the endless blanket of diamonds and blue velvet that was draped upon the Earth.

She didn't have the courage to watch the girl get hit and overrun by the truck of reality, and tore her gaze away from to awaiting girl before her.

"Luna... I know you're too young to understand this, so I'm just going to tell you. Okay?"

Eunbi's fingers grasp the hem of the slim pillow beneath her, as she lets out a wavering breath.

"You... Your mother..."

An unusual emotion suddenly begins to take over her body, sending shivers down her spine as she glances at the teary eyed girl beside her.

"Your mother has gone away for sometime."

No, Eunbi. Why?

Why didn't you tell her? You're going to destroy her by giving her lies and false hopes that will eventually shatter her to the ground when the truth is revealed.

"W-What?"

The girl squeaks, and Eunbi sits up immediately, patting her head gently.

"Goodnight, Luna."

She treads over to her bed instantly, her back facing the girl when she lays down, her hand resting on her bulging abdomen.

I'd never let something like this happen to you, little baby.

But... if it came to that, I would give you away into the hands of someone more capable so you can live.

She looks down at Hyunwoo and Yoongi snuggled against each other, as a small tear glides down her face.

I hope you'll be able to see your father soon. 

He'd be delighted to hold you in his arms, or rest you against his chest while you sleep. 

He'd be happy to hear you laugh, hit him, puke on him, and whatever else you have up your little sleeve, hmm?

A sad smile tugs at her lips when she stays the same way. Hours felt like minutes, and before she knew it, slivers of golden rays slip into the tent, gradually drawing the people out of their momentary peace of slumber.

However, she startles at the distant sounds of explosions, and Taehyung's eyes shoot open immediately before sitting up.

An officer runs into the tent, a look of terror plastered on his pale face. Panic begins to rise in the group when they hear the distant booms and thunderous vibrations gradually increasing and growing louder.

"Get down and brace yourselves, now!"
