They all were now sitting in a round as middle was lit up in fire to keep all the bugs and wild animals away from them . Jin had cooked some food for them all as they were enjoying thier meal quietly until Jimin started to chuckle thinking something.
"What are you thinking about chim that's making you laugh?" Taehyung asked nudging his best friend " I am thinking about all the best time we spend with eachother Tae, we don't know what tomorrow holds for us........... I just wanted to thank you guys for being here always with me, with us" Jimin said getting emotional as Taehyung's and Jin's eyes filled with tears too.
It's right they don't know anything and from what they have heard about this jungle they might not be alive till tomorrow and they understand where Jimin was coming from............ just yesterday one of them might have lost in the darkness of this forest and would've never came back but they were lucky enough.
" Yes Jimin is right we are really thankful to you, Namjoon hyung you have been with me most of my life and you have protected me from any mental or physical damage, Jin and Yoongi hyung meeting you was one of the best thing that happen to me , I really am grateful for having People like you in my life . Hoseok hyung you have been thier whenever I was sad to cheer me up and you Minnie, you gave me your shoulder to cry and for support whenever I needed......... I really am thankful for having you guys in my life" Taehyung said crying.
" Feelings are mutual Tae " Jin and Jimin said hugging him as everyone also joined for a group hug telling eachother how much they mean to them. " Alright lets stop crying now or the wild animals will attack us because of our horrible voices" Hoseok said and everyone laughed and nodded .
It was midnight when Namjoon woke Jimin up to change him on watching to which be immediately agreed knowing how much everyone needs rest he went to the sitting place to find Yoongi whose back was facing him. His heart started to beating fast because after the day of attack he will be so close to him.
The days after attack everyone was sad and upset because of Jungkook being missing and he didn't wanted to talk to the older when he was already tensed and hurt. Actually he didn't even have the courage as well............ He knew what Jungkook means to both elders and still he wasn't able to protect the younger even knowing he is innocent.
With heavy heart he sat beside the elder who didn't even spare a glance towards him . They sat silently for a while before he gathered the courage to apologize............ He doesn't even know if he will be alive thus he wanted to apologize to ease his heart.
" Hyung......" He started getting the others attention " I am sorry" he said but other shook his head before sighing " What are you sorry for Jimin?" He asked softly and Jimin gulped before starting " I am sorry for everything, I wasn't able to protect Jungkook from Taehyung's torcher , I wasn't able to help him to get safe...... I couldn't do anything even knowing that he is innocent................. b-believe me I tried to talk to Taehyung but he never listened, he used his crown prince power to everyone of us who told him to release Jungkook or trust him.....................but I don't blame him also knowing in what state he was but I should've tried harder ........ I am sorry" he said crying.
Yoongi sighed and patted Jimin's head " don't worry , I am not angry at you anymore..............but" he said and Jimin looked at him innocently" but?"
His conscious eyes made Yoongi smile internally" but..... I need sometime to move on and forget what happened......you know what Jungkook means to me and I am hurt knowing the person I love had caused my younger brother pain.......... I know you were not at fault that much but still" Yoongi completed while jimin was stuck on one line
" The person I love"
" He loves me "
" He freaking loves me!"
He squealed out looking at Yoongi with wide eyes" You love me ?" He asked which Yoongi also widen his eyes he didn't knew in all his rambling he confessed his love. He Looked here and there before clearing his throat he stood up and went towards others leaving him dumfounded. He got out of his thoughts when Jin sit beside him telling him that Yoongi's shift was over and now he will accompany him. He was disappointed and happy at the same time now he knows Yoongi loves him so he will do whatever it takes to be with him .
Next day they all wake up with great enthusiasm to find the stone and get back home and the most enthusiastic was Jimin among them who was looking at Yoongi with heart eyes and wide smile. He and Yoongi made eye contact to which he wink making the other choke on his spit. He was determined to make everything right.
They all went on the route that Taehyung lead them too. They were all on thier horses when a loud scream came making thier horses distress who jumped making them fall and ran away making them scared.
They gulped and got worried because thier food and other stuff was in horses they whistle and called thier horses name but they didn't came.........they looked at eachother with a look that says ' what are we gonna do now' . " Hyung what are we gonna do now...........our stuff was with the horses..........we don't even have food or other things" Taehyung said worried.
" Taehyung I think they got scared by something......... they will come back on thier own we can't call them......so I think we should just continue on our journey" Namjoon said making them nod afterall they aren't here to give up. They walked a few minutes on the route when thier eyes caught the sight of a cave making them happy............as they needed to find a cave which they did after a whole week in this damn forest.
They were at quite a distance but as they moved forward they heard some sounds of leaves crushing indicating that someone else was here too making them frozen and alert . That's when Yoongi pushed Jimin who was confused but got terrified seeing the guard that was behind him shot with an arrow. They all screamed and hide behind some trees for protection.
" We need to fight with them after there arrows are finished!" Yoongi yelled and all of them kept hiding after few minutes those creatures which the soldiers told them about started appearing out . They were so many that they were afraid how will they defeat them but they have no choice but to fight them.
As soon as the creature started showing out they also came out to have a hand to hand battle with them . They all started fighting with Jimin and Taehyung using thier powers. They were so into fight they didn't realize a creature almost stabbing Jin who was fighting looking other way .
Namjoon and Taehyung saw that and yelled his name " Jin /Jin hyung" but were late as the creature was about to stab him he got pushed by a horse . Everyone thier were shocked because that wasn't thier horse and what even the horse was doing here at the first place . They looked at the midnight coloured horse which was running on the creatures and fighting with them.
They were so mesmerized that they didn't notice a creature aiming at Taehyung an arrow but as he throw the arrow another arrow hitted it saving Taehyung who was shocked at what happened to him . He looked here and there but didn't found the one who helped him . They continued to fight with that horse and an unknown archer who was shooting arrows hiding.
After few minutes they were finally able to defeat them as they all panted because of exhaustion. They looked from dead bodies when they find someone jumping to find a man covered in hoodie and mask holding a bow with arrows in his back pack. They understand that he is the one who helped them .
They all came forward bowing to him as a thank you " thank you so much young men for saving us......... you don't know you have saved the future of Ice Kingdom, tell us your name so we can thank you properly and gift you something for your generosity " Namjoon said coming forward .
" I don't think I want anything for helping my own family " the masked man said while removing his mask making all of them gasp and shocked.
" Jungkook!"
