~~MUHYEOK'S POV~~

"That damn bastard!!" I shout angrily, throwing my dagger to the ground, "I can't believe he's still missing! What if he hasn't even kidnapped Hossok at all? And if he has, I have absolutely no idea where he is! Changu is huge! HE COULD BE ANYWHERE!!!!"

My close friend, Hajoon, nervously steps backwards, "Hyeokie... Please... Just try and relax."

"Relax?!? The plan is failing Hajoon! We were supposed to lure Yoongi to Hoseok! He was simply just the BAIT. I thought Jimin would be far more compliant. Then, we were supposed to catch Yoongi and bring him to the palace! We even sent out a search team for Jimin last night and the only people out on the streets was some couple MAKING OUT IN AN ALLEYWAY. Jiun won't forgive me again!"

Hajoon flinches, "At least we still have his soldiers..."

"Soon people will get suspicious! How could I possibly gain so many followers in a span of days? Jiun sent fifteen soldiers and even brought gold bars so I could bribe the villagers to help us out for a short while--"

"August D is extremely powerful, Hyeokie. He might be able to take us all down. So we need all the force we can get. Don't send them back yet."

"Ahhhh stop it!!" I hollor, filled with utter rage, "Enough of that cursed name! It's all I ever hear. I'm tired of it."

"Well, then, what should message should I give Jiun?" Hajoon asks, "What will we do?"

"We need patience," I mutter slowly, "I'll look for Hoseok. Give me three more days... And... If we cannot find him or Jimin, I'll just go after August D myself."

"Hyeokie!" he protests, "Its too dangerous! He beats you at the brawl every single time. I know you hate to admit it, but you are no match for him."

I'll rip him apart. You'll see, Hajoon.

You haven't seen my worst. Not yet.

~~ SANGHEE'S POV ~~

I have no idea what has gotten into me. Why did I do that? Why?! I know he's asleep... But I was shocked by the words pouring out of my mouth. I felt like I had to say them aloud, even if no one else was listening. I feel as though a heavy weight has been lifted from my chest.

Although I must now try and hide my growing feelings, I'm afraid my small kiss only made it worse...

I was just longing... Longing to feel his lips agaisnt mine for the second time.

There's something about him I'm just so drawn too... I see past his dangerously cold persona; I see a cold man who has the capacity for love. He's just too afraid to try.

I hate myself for feelings these new emotions... To be honest, I suppose they've been lingering since the first time I layed eyes on him all those months ago.

Yes, he's been cruel. His words have peirced through me several times... Sometimes I even wanted to run away...

But I began to realize how broken he is inside... How he just cant communicate all the lingering pain in his heart. How he thinks blood and violence will avenge his family.

Again, I ask myself, how could I ever begin to like a man like him? A man everyone calls a heartless monster? A man who has committed so many crimes?

I continue looking down at his sleeping figure, my eyes fixated on his glowing face.

But yet, I can feel something beginning to blossom in my heart--- as though a seed has been planted and it's finally ready to bloom.

When I look at Min Yoongi, I don't see a monster like everyone else.

However...

I know he will never return these feelings.

So I must hide them away.

I slowly make my way up from the floor, sliding under my bedsheets. I stare up at the ceiling, thinking about all the events that have surfaced in the last few days. I still have to figure out a way to tell Yoongi about Jimin... How will he react?

But there is one thing that's still on my mind...

Is Jiun really looking for me?

~~JUNGKOOK'S POV~~

I sit on the front steps of Heyra's hut, after being sent out. Constant anxiety has been flooding my brain since Hoseok went missing.

I let out a long sigh, realizing exactly how exhausted I am. I can't remember the last time I've properly slept.

There's still so many unanswered questions.

Who took Hoseok?

Why?

What was the cause of this entire mess?

I quickly sit up from the step, making my way into the hut despite Heyra's previous attempt to rid of me. I need some comfort from my darling.

"I told you to stay outside," she snaps, enjoying constantly teasing and tormenting me.

"I'm tired," I grumble, walking past her towards the room I share with Jangmi.

I jolt in alarm when I notice Jangmi kneeling on the floor, arms wrapped around her sensitive and now very noticeable stomach. Her face is twisted in a pained expression, immediately making heart sink.

"Jangmi!" I cry out, rushing to her side within seconds.

"I'm fine," she breaths out, grasping my hand, "I'm really okay, Jungkook."

"Don't lie to me," I insist, "You promised to tell me if it hurt. You're supposed to alwyas tell me, Jangmi! We have to get through this together."

She looks up at me with a small smile, "How did I get so lucky? I love you very much..."

"I love you more," I say passionately, helping her back up.

"It was just a small pain..." she mumbles, standing beside me, "I'm just not used to it yet. Heyra said its normal."

"Want me to kiss you until all the pain goes away?" I ask, desperate for some love from my girl.

She wrinkles her nose in amusement, "No. Because you don't know when to stop."

"Come on," I whine, pouting like a baby, "I know all your favourite places for my sweet kisses... Starting with you're neck... Then your lips... Th---"

"Jungkook, stop," she complains, pushing me away which only makes me more excited.

"Stop resisting me. I know you want it," I smirk seductivly, nearly laughing at my own desperation.

"I said nnooo~~" her voice immediately drowns off into a mumble as I grab her waist, silencing her by locking our lips.

I allow my hands to trail up to her neck, feeling her warm soft skin and pulling her in agaisnt my chest. I smile when she responds to my embrace, beginning to move her lips against mine and a slow and syncopated pace.

"I... W... IN..." I murmur agaisnt her lips between kisses, happy that she surrendered to my nagging.

I take advantage of her parted lips, slipping my tongue between her teeth and tracing every inch of her lips with a hungry and urgent manner. She lets out a small noise of protest, but I am determined to continue. I scoop her up in my arms, gently placing her delicate body on the matress. I am careful not to break our heated contact during this moment.

I feel my heartbeat quicken when she encircles her arms around my neck, pulling herself closer to my chest. I remove my lips from her own, trailing down her soft jawline until I reach her neck. I shower her with sweet pecks, going crazy at the soft noises escaping her mouth.

"J-Jun-gkook," she murmurs with a hitched breath.

"HEY!" Heyra suddenly shouts, scaring the living life out of my soul.

I slowly pull away from Jangmi, glancing behind me with fearful eyes.

"You two are awfully loud! My patient is trying to sleep. Shut up please."

Jangmi giggles, her cheeks flushed with a rosy pink.

"And you!" Heyra glares at me, "Stop kissing her before you get all uncontrollable and start thinking dirty thoughts-- Hey, stop smirking at me--- Go back outside, Jungkook!"'

"You heard her," Jangmi teases, pinching my cheek, "You look like a baby bunny."

"JUNGKOOK, GO OUTSIDE--"

"---Aishhh, okay, okay, sorry, I'm leaving now..."

~~YOONGI'S POV~~

My eyes slowly flutter open, greeted by bright lighting and the sweet scent of honey.

I notice my muscles are still tense from late night... I don't remember falling alseep; but I must have.

"I think I'm falling for you."

"I can't ignore this growing feeling in my heart."

"Last night made me realize..."

"I think I'm falling for you."

"I think I'm falling for you."

Does she really feel that way? My mind suddenly erupts into chaos, recalling her words,

Do we both truley feel this way?

Did she really mean it?

Was she DRUNK?

How could she possibly fall for me?!

I've only ever been cruel and mean--

I decide to shut off my thoughts, slowly slipping out of bed before checking on Hoseok. His breathing is much more steady, which is a huge relief. I suppose he'll be asleep for a couple days.

I divert my eyes to Sanghee's bed, surprised to see the matress empty.

It's all too much to comprehend.

Maybe we're both just tired.

Maybe we don't even know how we feel.

But I do know how I feel...

Since the moment I saw her, a little spark lit up inside...

NO.

NO YOONGI.

It's just for revenge.

Just keep her alive...

You're being delusional.

I peer out the window, suprised to see Sanghee busily washing her clothing in a large bucket, scrubbing them with soap and warm water. I carefully make my way towards the door, slowly opening it and trying to ignore the fluttery feeling in my chest.

I feel my muscles freeze when her eyes instantly lock with mine.

"Good morning," she says, her thin lush lips curving into a smile. The constant tension still continues to linger between us, filling the air.

I thought she might ignore me... Judging by her abruptness last night... And the whole... "Incident."

"Morning," I say quickly, in a somewhat cold tone. I just stand there and watch for the longest moment, unsure of what to say.

"We should take a trip to the market," she suggests, putting down her clothing, "And... I'll explain what happened with Hoseok."

"Good," I nod, immediately grabbing my jacket and slipping on, while placing my gun in my pocket. I proceed to heading to the road, waiting for her there.

She quickly gathers her own things, checking up on Hoseok before shutting and locking the door.

I hum a small tune to myself while waiting.

"August D," a chilling and deep voice says from somewhere behind me, causing me to whip my head around within seconds.

My eyes widen in shock when a man holding a pistol emerges from behind a tree, aiming to shoot straight at my chest.

I have almost no time to react, quickly pulling out my own gun.

BANG.

It's too late.

He fired first.

Within a flash, quick as lightening, a figure dashes in front of me, shielding my body from the penetrating bullet.

It all happens so quickly, my eyes barely have time to adjust.

Silky black hair. Milky skin that shines brightly like the moon. A slim figure with elegant curves.

She throws her body in front of mine.

"NO!!!" I shout, reaching for her wrist. My heart plunges into the deepest depths, so much that my entire body begins to swarm with pain.

She lets out a yelp of shock when the bullet sinks into her skin, drawing crimson blood within seconds. She stands tall for several moments, frozen with shock.

And then she topples to the ground, the filthy mud sinking into the fabric of her clothing.

"Sanghee!" I cry, my voice cracking like a billion pieces of shattering glass.
