"How many are wounded?"

The man scratched his head, flipping through the pages. "263."

Jin sighed, covering his face with his hands. "That's too damn much." He threw the walkie in his hand to the floor.

"Let me see the ones recovering."

"Sir, it's dangerous-"

"You think I'm worried about that right now? Let me see my damn people."

"Alright sir, you need to put this on first." He handed Jin a mask, and secured it around his mouth. The man led him into the cleared section of the facility, where the patients slept. Jin went by each person awake, giving them words of hope as their leader.

He noticed a small girl holding a homemade doll. He smiled, kneeling to her side. "Did you make that?"

She looked at the doll in her hand, bringing it to her chest. "My mommy made it for me."

"Can I speak to her?" He smiled at the girl, who was now looking around the room, trying to find her mother.

The man pulled Jin's arm. "Her mother died."

Jin's mouth slightly parted as he tried to think of what to say, but he couldn't. Nothing could be said.

"We'll find your mother." He tried to smile, letting go of the girls hand. Jin needed to be strong around these patients. He needed to make it seem as if everything was going to be okay. He straightened his tux, and greeted more patients.

He noticed one of them turned on her side. Not speaking a word to anyone, not even the doctors. He tapped the man with him on the shoulder. "Give me a name."

He looked at the tag on her wrist. "Valentina."

              »                           »                        »

"Keep it moving." Namjoon yelled, making sure everyone got a nights worth of food. The volunteers continued to pass down the packaged dinner. The inside of the facility wasn't exactly stable yet, so the people had to live outside, except for the wounded of course.

The sky was still dark. It was almost midnight when my eyes slowly blinked open. I remembered why I fell asleep in the garden when I felt Jimin's arms tightly grip my body. There was no one around us, which made it even more relaxing.

I brushed his hair out of his face, watching his chest rise up and then back down. I kissed his forehead, before slipping out of his arms. I didn't want to wake him from his sleep.

I stretched my arms out, yawning as I walked around the facility and towards the people. I should probably bring some food to Jimin since he hasn't eaten anything all day. A hand reached out to me, holding a plate of food.

I looked at the girl and smiled. "Thank you."

She nodded. "We're family El, and you're part of that family."

I chuckled as my head dropped, cheeks flushed and all. I wandered towards a table, resting my elbow on the wood. I brought the cup of wine to my lips

"How's the facilities princess?"

I spit the drink onto the table, looking up with a raised brow. Riley chuckled, letting his head fall back.

"I did not expect you to react that way." He pressed his teeth together.

"What's with the awful nickname?"

"You're the sacred gem of the facility. The won't kill you because they can't."

I rolled my eyes. "That my friend, is not true."

I stood, walking towards the counter. They really outdid themselves for just a couple nights in the outdoors. A whole bar counter and everything. Riley followed behind me, this time Jungkook tagged along.

I slowly turned around. "Why do I feel like I'm being stalked."

Jungkook raised his hands in defense. "I just wanted whatever you were having." He pointed to the cup in my hand.

"What ever you say kookie." I sang, before running off.

"I told you not to call me that." He yelled. I could hear Rileys laughter from where I was.

Just as I turned around, my body slammed into the same man as last time. I narrowed my eyes, trying to get a glimpse of his face.

I jumped back when the sounds of explosions went off. It seemed distant, but close to the facility. The people panicked, picking up their things and running towards the door. Guards lined up, stopping the people from entering.

I turned to help the people, when I realized something. I left Jimin alone in the garden. I quickly turned back, running through the trail. The sky was dark and I could barely see a thing, but that didn't matter to me.

I slammed into a body, and fell back holding my shoulder. I bit on my tongue, taking in the pain.

"Stay back." I warned, pushing myself away from the dark figure.

"El, what the fuck?"

My eyes widened. "Jimin."

He grabbed my hand, pulling me up. I gave a quick hug, before we both started to run back.

"What the hell was that?" He asked, trying to find my face in the pitch black night sky.

I grabbed his hand, pulling him to the right direction. "Another bomb. I don't know where it hit, but it wasn't the front."

"How do you know?" He panted.

"I was there."

We rushed into to the entrance, and I grabbed Namjoon's shoulder.

"What the hell happened?"

He tried to look back, while also maintaining the crowd of angry and scared people. "Three bombs were launched from here."

Jimin's eyes went wide. "Someone hacked the system..."

"No." Namjoon shook his head. "It was a planned attack."

"Planned my ass, I never knew about this." Jimin argued.

"Neither did I." He admitted. "I don't know who did it, but they must've found out about the letter."

Jimin looked at me, biting his lower lip. "I told Jin."

I lowered my brows. "Well, you're his brother.. would he do something like this or not?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I mean he's exceptionally insane, but not to this extent."

"So tell them." I looked at Namjoon. "Our people are scared. They think we got attacked."

He sighed. "We don't have enough information yet."

"Bullshit." I muttered. "I've got an idea."

Jimin gave me a look, and pulled me back. "What are you doing?"

"Stopping this chaos." I pushed his hand away, and stood on the wobbly table. If I fall, it'll be the end of me.

"Everybody listen." I yelled, gaining not even a fly's attention. Jimin crossed his arms, walking over to me.

"Fucking listen if you don't wanna get bombed again." He shouted, and I widened my eyes. He didn't have to go that far...

Everyone stopped yelling and pushing, turning to face me. I licked my lips before clearing my throat.

"The bombs were not dropped by Ceres, but from our own people."

The sound of chattering rose and Jimin threatened to step up again. They all silenced down, waiting for me to speak again.

"We don't know why they did this, but when-"

"They deserved it!" A man shouted, others agreeing with him.

I shook my head. "No, that's not true. We killed their people as well, hundreds."

The same man stood on the opposite table. "We killed hundreds to save one of ours. They killed and injured around four hundred people for a bottle of medicine."

"Sit down little girl." Someone yelled from the crowd of people. Jimin pushed past them, grabbing him by the collar.

"I suggest you shut your fucking mouth."

"Or what? Are you gonna execute me? Put me in prison for life."

Jimin licked his lips, chuckling afterwards. "No, I'm gonna kick your ass in front hundreds of people."

He dodged the mans first punch, socking him in his jaw afterwards. People moved back, eager to see the fight continue. I jumped off the table, running towards the middle of the crowd.

"Don't you have better things to do." I muttered to one of the men cheering them on. The mans fist landed on Jimin's face, leaving him with bloody lip.

I pushed the guy off of him, before he turned to face me. "Listen here you bi-"

He was knocked to the floor in an instant, and I was left facing Jimin. I walked towards him, wiping the blood off his lips.

"That's not what I intended to happen." I apologized, holding the napkin on his busted lip.

He chuckled. "This is normal for everyone. I've been in too many fist fights long before you were here."

I raised my brows. "People hate you that bad."

"What can I say. I'm dating the hottest-"

Jin harshly pulled Jimin's shoulder back. "Are you fucking insane? What the hell do you two think you're doing?"

Jimin shoved his arm off. "What the hell are you doing." He harshly poked his chest.

I narrowed my eyes. "Did you have anything to do with this?"

Jin licked his lips, looking around at all the anxious people. "I-"

"I did it."

I turned my head, and stared into those bright blue eyes, and my heart fell silent.

"Mom." I whispered in disbelief. She lied about her identity. She lied about how she found me. She lied about everything.

She turned to the people. "We need to show we're stronger than they are. They can't get away with hurting our people ever again."

I slowly shook my head, walking towards her. Jimin pulled my arm back. "Just forget it."

"Forget it?" I crossed my arms. "That's my mom."

He widened his eyes as I walked away. "Y-your what?"

Jin grabbed my arm. "You can't do this in front of everyone."

I jerked my arm back, and walked over to Jimin. I stood by his side, biting my tongue. "Your brother's an asshole."

"Touché."

I sighed, pulling my hair back. "How could she do this? She lied to me about being a farmer, but she actually works here."

He shrugged his shoulders. "There's a lot of shit we don't know."

Those with commanding position, report to the side door by the garden.

Jimin's eyes met mine as the man finished speaking. He stood, helping me up.

"I need you to stay here."

"J-"

"I mean it."

"Jimin, my mom is going in there. I'm her daughter so I think I have some sort of right to be in there. Plus you're my fiancé aren't you." I winked and his cheeks turned a red color.

"My God, I love you so much." He leaned forward, and I pressed a finger to his lips.

"After you take me with you."

"Deal." He quickly blurted out, nearly yanking my arm off as he pulled me with him.

He let go of my hand, dramatically pushing through the closing door. "I'm here, I'm here."

Jin sighed, laying his palm on his forehead. I awkwardly walked behind him, and my moms eyes went wide.

"Leana what are you doing here?"

I leaned on the table, smiling innocently. "I'm here to talk of course."

Jimin looked up at me, making me giggle. I cleared my throat. "Go on."

"We can't continue if she's here." One of the men hissed.

I pouted. "Just pretend like I'm not here."

Jin gave Jimin a warning look, in which Jimin took as nothing. He continued to slouch in his chair, barely paying attention to the other men's issues.

"I think we're all missing the point here gentlemen." I heard my mother say. "We need to protect ourselves from whatever is out there."

"And what is that exactly?" The old man argued back.

"El can tell us."

My eyes went wide when I heard my name. "Uh-come again?"

"Ceres people." Jimin muttered loud enough for me to hear.

"Ah, Ceres people."

"What about them." The old man continued to throw questions at me.

"They're the people we attacked."

"To be fair, they attacked us." Another woman added.

I stood up, pushing my chair back. "We attacked them first, and all they did was get even. We went even further than they did, attacking a second time."

Jimin laid back in his chair, smirking as he watched me get heated.

"What's your name sir?"

All eyes were on Jimin now. He narrowed his eyes, lifting them from the ground.

"Who the hell's asking."

"I am." Amanda, my mother, stood up waiting for an answer. I bit my lip nervously, also anxious of what he would say.

"Jimin."

She raised her brows, glancing at Jin. "This is your younger brother?"

Jin cleared his throat. "Mhm."

"I've heard a lot about you Park Jimin." She tapped her nails on the table.

"Yeah?" He leaned in. "Like what."

"You left your people and ran away from all your problems, taking some girl with you."

I bit my lip. She doesn't know it's me. Holy shit, she doesn't even know we're together. I looked over at Jimin, wanting to calm him down, but I couldn't.

He slowly breathed out, and stood out of his seat. "Cause her battle-axe mom sold her away."

The room fell silent, and I slowly moved my gaze to his eyes. He gave me an apologetic look, and sat back down.

"Leana, what the hell is he talking about." She crossed her arms, narrowing her eyes at me.

I gulped, looking at those who knew. Jin slowly shook his head, Yoongi sat with a blank look, and Namjoon nodded in approval. Of course I'm gonna go with Joon.

I slowly brought my left hand up, showing the shiny ring. "Jimin and I are engaged."

Jin fell out of his seat, passed out on the floor. Namjoon slightly grinned, before Yoongi hit his shoudler. The men gasped in unison, staring at one another. My mother kept her eyes on me. They were angry and filled with disappointment.

"Good to know we have your support." Jimin muttered, grabbing my hand. He pulled me towards the door, quickly closing it behind him.
