Chapter XX
"Uncle....are you sad?"
Soobin asked Seokjin who had a blank face during their walk together in the city, there was not a day Seokjin couldn't think of that night. "I'm Soobin...by the way how is Yoongi?" Seokjin ask the child who enjoyed his pleasent time eating cream puffs, Soobin stared at the well-dressed demons with cold eyes.
"preparing for war..."
Soobin mumbled licking the remaining cream from his fingers and stood up, Seokjin flinch knowing what he just heard was right. "war? what war?"Seokjin said as he grabbed Soobin's wrist, He turn around and glared at the older.
"war against demons...Uncle Yoongi said it was time to put a stop on our sufferings, we give and take....it is time we should stop giving and we start taking..."
Soobin said as he yank his arms away from Seokjin and ran away from him, Seokjin pursed his lips together.
"....a war...."
|| ROYAL PALACE ||
"A war?"
"yes my king...."
The King sat on his throne as he gaze upon the spy he assigned to watch and observe over the humans at the slum, the spy had his other knee on the floor as his head hung low at the sight of the King and the 5th Prince beside him.
"a war that will put an end to all of us...."
"now that is laughable" The King spoke in an insulting tone, The spy gulped. "....but my King...their leader is smart...and I think there is a mole inside the castle..." The man spoke as he looked around the area, The King click his tongue and raise his hands to call the palace guards.
"bring all the servants here, now." The King growled at all of them as they begun to scurry away without making the King loose his patience, Taehyung stood there with boredom written on his faces as he looked over his shoulder to see his father, the king frustrated.
"Who is that person who means to create a riot"
The King stood up from his throne as he walked towards the spy with his long red coated cape followed him from behind, The spy then brought out a photo, a man with children's surrounding him.
".....His name is Min Yoongi..."
"Min Yoongi?...is he not the man who was hired to assassinate you father?" Taehyung said to his father who stayed silent for awhile, He glance at the spy. "...I thought he was killed right after he failed his attempt to kill the king?" Taehyung said filled with confusion as he crossed his arms over his chest and glared down at the spy who shakes his head.
"....we thought too at first...but we saw him yesterday...alive..."
"son"
The King called out his son who immediately got his attention, Taehyung then stood up straight and walk towards the King, "...what do you think 'you' should do? if a man who we thought was dead is now alive...." He said as he glance at his son whose smirk got wider.
"....Send a warning father..."
The King approved of his 5th son's brilliant idea, He may have other children's but Taehyung was the closest one who has the same view as the King and the King favored him the most, the spy gulped and glance at the prince.
"w-what kind of...warning...my prince.."
Taehyung chuckle and stood in front of him, the spy hung his head low as his eyes met the golden floor.
"Death..."
|| MANOR ||
"....war....war....war...."
Those were the only thoughts lingering inside his head as his hands were busy preparing the young master's lunch, Seokjin was in dismay when Soobin gave him little information about the 'war' he was talking about but for all he knows for now is that the war is directed to the demons, It made sense why the humans fired back, they have been mistreated in many ways and their sick of it. "....you're in deep thought Mr. Kim?" Seulgi asked the troubled Seokjin, She stood beside him while she peels the skin of the potatoes with a knife, Seokjin chuckle. "....you are sharp as always" Seokjin said to Seulgi who could only laugh.
"Learned from the best"
Seokjin laughs when all of a sudden a knock was heard from the door, Seokjin and Seulgi turn their heads to see the young master looking at them, Seokjin immediately closed the stove and turned around as he faced the young master so did Seulgi.
"Good afternoon young master...." Seokjin and Seulgi said in unison as both bowed down, Jungkook did not say a word and walked towards the man he rejected and broke his heart, He grabs him by the wrist. "Young master???" Seokjin was confused as he looked back behind Seulgi who was waving at him goodbye. "w-where are you taking me?" Seokjin said to the young master but he still did not say anything not until they arrived at the garden. Seokjin was speechless when Jungkook leads him deeper from the garden, "young master...please say something..." He said as he tried to remove his hands from his wrist, Jungkook pursed his lips together and loosen his grip on him before standing in front of Seokjin.
".....Seokjin.....I..."
Seokjin clench his fist together, He was going to hear another rejection from the young master, "...I....I lo---" Jungkook was suddenly interrupted when a child's voice came screaming for help towards them desperately, Seokjin recognized that voice as he immediately run back outside of the garden leaving Jungkook upset and angry.
"UNCLE!!!! UNCLE!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!"
Soobin came running towards Seokjin, He was covered in ashes and parts of his skin were nearly half burnt, "What happened!?!?" Seokjin exclaimed looking at Soobin with worried eyes, Soobin sobs and pointed at the unconscious person lying on the ground with the infant that was picked up by Seulgi who went and check if the baby was alive.
Seokjin gasp and ran towards the man who he identified as Yoongi, "YAH! YOONGI! w-what the hell...." Seokjin's breathing became shallow when he saw Yoongi's arm burnt, Yoongi coughs out some ashes that he swallowed accidentally, "J...argh...in..." He was able to speak Seokjin's name before passing out falling in to a deep slumber.
"u-uncle Yoongi...."
"what happened?"
The frown Jungkook had earlier was still there but it was now mixed with confusion and worry when he saw Seokjin carrying Yoongi bridal style, Soobin immediately grabs him by his black robe as he pleaded to the demon.
"....c-can...y-y-y-you bring...them back..." Soobin said as tears continued to flow, Jungkook knelt down and grabs him by his hands gently, He was honestly worried over the boy, it was strange but he felt the need to protect this child.
"who..."
Soobin gritted his teeth, his eyes were no longer the innocent the child, it was only anger firing in his eyes.
"my friends...please bring them back..."
