"At least they know of your existence," Jimin snapped pulling all the attention towards himself. "For me, it's like I'm not even alive. My wife is venerous over other men and believe me, that isn't—to the slightest bit—comforting."
[y'all don't listen to google venerous is a real archaic word]
"That is true," you say thoughtfully.
"You see this?" Jimin gestures at you. "Not one bit of emotion."
"Are we jealous, Chim?" You ask in a sing-song tone, taunting him even more.
"Should I not be?" Jimin raises a brow, leaving no hesitation at being honest.
Yureum and Jungkook look away, stiffening up at the awkwardness of the situation caused by Jimin's honesty. "Wow," Yureum's lips pop, "I did not see that one coming."
Everything goes silent after you narrow your eyes at Jimin for some time and then shrug the whole thing off. Your carriage drives down the last hill as you all come onto the main road, looking forward to going home and getting back with your friends.
• • • • • • • •
As the road merges with the muddy floor of the forest, the anticipation in all your hearts grow. Sounds of Busan's salty, ocean water crashing onto the rocks reverberate in your ears, as your skin tickles with the feeling of the warm, playful breeze running over your face.
Yureum recalls the jolly crowd of the kingdom, chattering and hustling on with their lives even as the carriage moves forward.
However, you're all snapped out of your trances once a suspicious shuffle of the leaves happens. The axle of the wheel breaks into two all of a sudden, and the carriage nearly falls onto it's side. Yureum grips the side of the door, her fingers grasped tight against the timber.
Out of nowhere, an arrow sparks out of the dense bushes and spikes right into the driver's neck.
An abrupt terror fills you all up for you're all now alone. And in dire need of help.
Breathing heavy, you try to look out for help, eyes desperately scanning through each and every part of the forest. You straighten a little upon spotting a small cottage afar, but just as you're about to get closer to your window, another arrow shoots past you and into the thick wall of the carriage, affrighting you with shock then and there.
"Are you alright?" Jimin inquires.
You nod.
Your eyes widen and your jaw drops. Your gasp in fear, palm almost covering your mouth on seeing that a liquid slowly drips down the point of the weapon.
"It's poison," Yureum says in a shaky exhale, swallowing a knot in her throat harshly.
"Who's doing this?" Jungkook murmurs, getting ready to step out of the carriage. He reaches out for his dagger, but doesn't find it. Then he realises that he hadn't tied the case onto his waist.
"Lord, listen to our prayers." Yureum shuts her eyes close, biting her bottom lip when it threatens to tremble.
"There's a small cottage there," you assemble the guts in yourself and then speak, "We can go there, but we'll have to be careful."
"Are you out of your mind?" Yureum snaps. "We get out of here, we get killed! Do you want to die?"
"If we stay here we die anyway, Reum." You gulp, aware that Yureum is not at all wrong. "I'm asking you to go along because, though narrow, we have a chance of surviving."
Your sister sighs. She closes her eyes again. This is wrong. She wants to stay in here. But you're correct too. Once she opens her eyes, she notices, something shift under dried leaves through the door at a place. Astounded and wise to what is happening, she says, "This is not going to work out, Y/n. You know it too."
"We won't know if we try," you try to persuade her, unaware of what she just saw."
"Can you both manage to pull out your swords from the luggage?" She turns to the husbands.
"It's risky, but we'll try." Jungkook answers.
"Let's do this, then." She says and all four you immediately step out of the broken carriage.
The gore pooling the dead driver horrifies you, but you release a breath and move closer to Jimin.
Just then, tens of attackers appear into the scene. The sharp blades of their long falchions glisten in the penetrating sunlight. A shine brushed through it as a man steps nears you four as if your death is written all over it.
With a hundred masked men encompassing you four and the driver of the carriage deceased, everything seems to be unfolding as a fiendish nightmare for all of you.
Every wallop that Jimin and Jungkook get hit by and every strike that Yureum and you try to dodge, just seems to be put on a barbarous loop. These bloodthirsty soldiers, disguised as outcasts, abide appearing out of nowhere, outnumbering you four further into a bigger, dastardly doom.
"Let them go!" Jungkook grunts, tackling a man and twisting his neck—so hard that it leaves the man paralyzed on the ground (or maybe even dead).
"Bastards!" Jimin pierces his bodkin into the neck of another man, ceasing the other life then and there.
Abruptly, you feel a large hand cover your face with a piece of cloth. Your vision starts to blur and in spite of how much you try to squirm your way out of it, your eyes give up and you feel them get heavier. Your arms weaken and your eyelids threaten to close as you involuntarily stop trying to free yourself.
A large hand presses against Yureum's throat, making her breathless with every passing second. Her hands struggle to loosen the grip of the man in front of her but she fails and her eyes roll to the back of her head as she collapses into the mud and leaves.
Two arrows spike right at the two kings, striking them right in their chests.
Jimin falls on his knees whilst giving his best shot to get closer to you. He is given a painful thwack right at his temple as the sharpness of the splinters cause bleeding.
Jungkook tightly wraps his fingers around the arrow and manages to get it out. But the spewing blood significantly decreases his pressure and he ends up dropping into the earth beneath him. Still breathing, be tries to crawl towards an unconscious Yureum, but somebody kicks him in the gut and he clutches his abdomen while still looking at his fallen wife.
And with that they fall.
Before you fall, you catch a hazy note of Yureum dropped unconscious, and the two husbands struggling to crawl up to you and your sister, bodies soaking in their own blood and eyes filled with tears.
It all ends with one large thud, images of your children flashing before all four of your eyes before your heads hit the ground and eyes get one last reminiscent glimpse of all the happy times.
