Jimin was texting you nonstop, asking if you've spotted them. The baby blue was switched out with a dark, navy. Tiny specks dotted the night drop. Minseo was yelling her sister's name with all her breath. Your throat was raw from screaming for them.
A strange feeling overcame you. A rush of fear and anxiety mixed together and washed over your entire system. Tears were welling, blurring your vision. There were just too much bushes, too many plants. Nothing resembled two small children.
Losing them felt like something was robbed from you. You had no where to look and everywhere you did look, there was nothing, only dark blue skies and rows of leaves. Minseo heard your whimpers and wrapped her arms around your neck.
"Ms.(Y/N), I'm sorry for making you cry." Her tiny voice filled your left ear. You patted her back and shook her head. Children were so pure. They weren't exposed to anything that would deem harmful to them. They weren't ruined by the scary world.
"Monkey, are you cold?" You managed to sniff, your throat aching.
"No, because you keep me warm." She smiled. Even in the worst types of situations, she was able to make you smile.
they're not in the trees, or the center, or the field. (Y/N), how could this have happened?
we can't start blaming ourselves right now, Jimin. Come to the garden, i need you.
Your jumbled mind refused to let you think straight. The feeling was so foreign, nothing like you've ever felt. It surpassed the anxiousness of losing your keys or your phone. You lost something that meant practically everything to you.
You loved the twins with all your heart. They weren't hard to love. Minseo and Minjoo were the two kindest souls you've ever met. They had beautiful smiles that had your knees weak. They rarely fought and they treated you with such respect and pampered you with wholesome love.
Besides Jimin, they were your happiness. They needed to be protected and you wanted to be the one to do that for them. They deserved to be happy and you promised yourself that you'd never let their smiles fade. It was a small oath you made to yourself over the course of the months. You were there for them when they needed you.
Traveling deeper into the garden, you heard wailing. Minseo's head popped up and she pointed to where it was coming from. You ran, with every ounce of energy you had left. Screaming for them, you heard the sobs get louder.
Using your free arm, you pushed back bushes and removed pots of flowers. Minjoo and Jihoon were cuddled up next to one another with streams of waterfalls falling from their shut eyes.
"Oh Monkey.." You cooed and set Minseo down. She hurried to pick up her sister, who was covered in dirt. You helped Jihoon up from the ground and dusted him off.
There was a part of you that wanted to scold them for running off on their own, but their crying states reassured you that they had learned their lesson. You were just relived and overjoyed that you found them again. They were safe.
You brought them close to your chest and let them destroy your pastel dress. Hearing them cry made your heart hurt. Small tears stained your face and you rubbed their shaking backs.
Minseo lead the way and held onto Jihoon's hand. He had stopped sobbing after they were found again. However, Minjoo would not stop bawling her eyes out. She felt horrible, knowing that she caused such trouble. She was also grateful that you were her hero and saved her from the scary garden.
Jimin was sprinting from the path and immediately hugged you, with Minjoo still in your arms. He kissed the top of her head repeatedly, brushing the dirt that was caught in her strands. You handed her over to the distressed father and he closed his eyes to embraced her.
