As it turns out, it isn't a mystery that sits in the air, but a tragedy waiting to happen.
The war, that is.
This morning, you are greeted by Jimin as he brings you some water. After a casual chat with him, which tokenly included some endearing banter and skilled flirting, he takes you over to meet some unexpected guests.
Taehyung, Namjoon and Seokjin are paying a visit.
"Oh my god!" You exclaim in surprise.
You share an embrace with each of them, letting the safe, fraternal feeling seep into you like old times. "What is this? A reunion?" You joke. "It's an odd place for one."
A chuckle comes out of the three princes.
"We were called by Yoongi and Hoseok. They told us you were four were here." Says Namjoon. "We came over to talk about some things."
You feel your heart sink to your stomach. Your excitement is instantly wiped off as apprehension fills you. "Talk about what?" You urge, despaired and alarmed.
"Y/n, you should go and check up on Yureum. She might need you—" Jimin starts but you cut him off.
"Don't bullshit me Jimin!" Your demand is almost a cry. "What is all this for? I see everything. The armour, the constant meetings with the chief. As the Queen, I demand answers."
"It's okay, Jimin," Taehyung abates the atmosphere. "She's right. She needs to know."
Jimin agrees and lets the other three carry this on.
"Since your abduction, Changwon has been sending us threats too." Seokjin vouchsafes. "Since our trading lines are strongest with Busan, our biggest ally is you guys, Changwon is threatening to attack our economy if we don't forge an alliance with them soon."
"We're here because Yoongi and Hoseok said you guys had a plan to end this monstrosity." Taehyung informs.
You scoff, more so in fright than in anything else. "They are planning war. Is that what you want?"
"Our want isn't in question anymore, Y/n." Namjoon says with a command in his tone. "It's about need. As horrific as this sounds, war is what the mainland needs."
"There is truly no room for moderation," Seokjin chimes. "We tried it all — negotiation, council meetings, contracts. Changwon is trying to dominate. We can't let that happen."
You look at the three princes before you. These boys were your friends, your companions. Now, you see no one else but men. Men with a lot of weight on their shoulders.
