Chapter 18: Let's do this!

"T-Tae..." I breath out still stunned by his confession.

"You never once left my mind. It was you all along. I confirmed it when I looked at the pictures hanged here in your room. Your still the same girl."

I threw my arms around him. Hiding my face in the crook of his neck. "You knew who I was? Yet, I didn't remember you. My memory with you is faded, but I want to remember."

He pulled me to face him again, he took my hand and placed the pin in the palm of my hand. "Now, I can give you this. It belongs to you."

I stared at the pin in my palm, tears welled up in my eyes. My father. My mother. I still have one piece of them.
"Thank you." I softly let out as a whisper.

His arms wrapped around me and his soft lips connected with my forehead.
"What about your mother?"

I know I shouldn't be asking that but I need to know if there is someone who can tell me stories about my parents. I'm afraid of forgetting how they look and how they felt.

"She was...killed by the Great Evils..."

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, I have you now."

I looked up at him and there was pain his eyes, yet he still managed to smile at me. I connected my lips with him, his soft lips always make electricity run through my veins in a way that's almost impossible.

I broke our kiss and looked up at him, "You don't need to hide your pain with me."

He hugged me, hiding his face on the crook of my neck. He's been through too much to cry again...but maybe that's what he really needs...to let it all out.

"We leave today right?" Kangjoon asks as he looks up at the star-freckled sky.

"Yeah," I answer looking up as well. "I'm kind of scare you know."

"Me too," He says averting his gaze to me. He takes my hand and intertwines his fingers with mine. "But, we have each other. Nothing can stop us when we're together."

I look at our hands and laugh, "Nothing."

I look at him and he sighs looking back up at the sky. "Taehyung told me about everything..."

I could only manage to blush. "Oh..."

"I'm happy for you." He says smiling broader than ever looking into my eyes. "Sometimes I thought I would have to take you because no one would want a weirdo like you."

I smacked his shoulder, "Hahaha very funny."

His eyes screamed sorrow and I didn't know why. I should've asked why right then and there but I didn't. I ignored it not wanting to ruin the mood but now I regret it.

Everyone's gathered now, of course only those who wanted to. Still, it was a fair amount of students along with the guards. BTS helped me lead but we were all under the command of the Academy's "General". He wasn't a real one but he just earned that title. We all prepared so much for this and I finally learned how to control my emotions.

I just want this war to end. We've gone deep in the woods already. Everyone with their waist sheaths and swords cling with them.
