"Y/n.... Y/n...!"

Someone was gently shaking you awake. You blinked open your eyes slowly,

"Wh... What...?" you muttered drowsily, looking up to see who it was. It was still dark and you couldn't clearly make out who it was but it sounded like Jungkook. Shadowy Jungkook bounced lightly on your bed,

"Come on! Get up! Get up!" he whispered in an anxious tone. He grabbed your hand and pulled you out of your nice, warm, cozy bed and into the unforgiving cold of the rest of the house. You groaned lightly as he dragged you out of your room and along into the hall,

"What's going o-" you drawled rather loudly. Jungkook whirled around and clamped your mouth shut with his hand, holding a finger to his lips.

"Shhh! Listen!" he grinned, his eyes wandering around as if he was looking for the sound. You raised an eyebrow but remained silent. Quietly, there was a soft murmur coming from one of the rooms down the dark hall. You felt a shudder run your your spine and began to back pedal slowly towards your room,

"Great that's nice. I'm going back to bed." you whispered sharply. Jungkook only tightened his grip around your wrist and jerked you closer to him,

"Oh come on! Jimin already said no and Taehyung is asleep too. Please? Just a little eavesdropping?" he flashed you large, watery puppy eyes. You rolled your eyes; Jungkook wasn't a very good liar,

"Oh please. Eavesdropping? You're just salty that you and Jimin missed out on all the excitement today." you shot back, "Especially with me and Taehyung in village and all that stuff that went down."
Jungkook opened his mouth to protest, then stopped, nodding in agreement,

"Ok ok yeah. I'm salty. No one is telling me what's going on anymore," he hissed between his teeth, "ever since you showed up. And I am tired of being treated like a child. I'm sure you are too." You felt yourself bristle at that remark, "Twenty bucks tells me that whatever is getting discussed in that room is pretty important. So, I'm going to see what I can find out."
He let go of your wrist and crept along the wall like a ninja, making his way towards the murmuring voice's.

"Jungkook!" you hissed, "This is a bad idea!" He kept crawling along, "You get back here before we both get in trouble!"

Even if he heard you, Jungkook ignored you and continued along his merry way. You fidgeted, moving back towards the room, then back towards Jungkook, then back to the room. You cursed under your breath, your curiosity peaked now.

"Dang it!" you spat, then scuttled after Jungkook's shadowy figure. You grabbed the edge of his white nightshirt, shooting him a seething look. He glanced over his shoulder and flashed you a victorious bunny grin,

"Curious?" he snickered, then continued edging along the wall. You gripped his shirt tighter as the two of you drew closer to the voices. You couldn't quite figure out who was speaking, but from the different cadence's and pitches, you guessed there were two people.

Then a third voice joined in.
A deep, terrifyingly recognizable voice.
There was no mistaking it.

You faltered for second, your eyes going wide. If Namjoon was in that room and he caught you? His warning was still fresh in your mind. You could still feel his breath upon your neck;

"I will do things to you that you would not be able to comprehend.."

You squeezed your eyes shut and stopped moving, fear freezing you to your spot. Jungkook gagged as he was jerked back, your fingers still hooked in his shirt,

"Y/n! What are you doing?!" he hissed, crawling back to you. You shook your head,

"I- I'm going back to my room..." you whispered weakly, letting go of his shirt. Jungkook's irritated scowl melted into a concerned and soft frown. He reached out and gently touched your shoulder, picking up on your frightened vibes like a bloodhound,
