The royals, leaving Taehyung and Yugyeom were currently standing in front of the forest. It was early in the morning and everything around them was so peaceful, leaving themselves. The only thing their mind could think about was Taehyung, their cute little fluff ball, who is lying on the bed there, suffering so much from that poison.

None of them could sleep at night, so they decided to leave for the forest at night itself. All were very quite in the car too, none of them could think straight in this situation.

Now that they are finally here in front of the forest at 5am or something, they stare deep in it, as far as they could see.

" Guys we have been staring this forest for a long time. Let's enter it now. The faster we reach there, the better." Y/N said making all the guys nod.

They started walking into the forest as per the location they wanted to reach to. The forest was okay at the beginning, but then as it started getting darker, it got creepier. Those sounds of insects and scary creepers on the trees. What can be more pleasant right?

Some parts of the forest were beautiful too. They walked for three hours or so when they came across a big banner which said 'Do not cross'.

" This is the sign kept for zoologists. They don't enter this part." Namjoon said.

" But what if someone has?" BamBam asked him.

" If someone did, we won't even know because he must have never come back." He replied.

" That didn't help me calm down." BamBam mumbled.

They passed under the sign and continued walking with that heavy load they were holding.

They walked for a many hours now. And everything was fine till now.

BamBam sprained his legs, Namjoon cried over stepping on some plants, Jungkook burnt a whole tree because he saw beetle on it (thankfully Namjoon extinguished it with his powers), Jin screamed like no tomorrow when he saw insects which invited more insects towards them, Y/N had her hair stuck in the branches of small trees many times making her frustrated, Yoongi kept cursing on each and every step they were walking, Jimin held his stomach and face and hand and leg where Y/N punched and kicked him because of anger and frustration and Hoseok lost his consciousness when he saw a snake.

In short, they regretted all their life decisions due to which they were here but everything was fine.....

They ate something for lunch and then kept walking with their motto- Not to let any creature near them because everything here screams dangerous.

Suddenly they heard a roar.

Namjoon warned through the mindlink and all of them stood in their position.

Hoseok asked panicking. The guy was afraid of literally everything here and freaked out every single second but what can he do!?

Namjoon replied and all of them nodded and did as he said.

Soon when they felt they were safe to proceed, they continued walking.

Yoongi didn't notice a bog infront of him and he fell into it.

" Fuck! Help me!" He said gaining all the guys attention towards him. He was going deeper and deeper in it and now was his time to panic.

" Shit! I...need help" He said. Everyone started panicking too.

" Don't panic and catch my hand!" Jimin said as he tried to take Yoongi's hand but he was busy panicking.

" L-Love calm down....take my hand and all will be fine." Jimin said softly which helped Yoongi to calm down a little as he passed his hand to Jimin.

Jimin tried to pull him but failed to do so alone. The others joined and tried to pull Yoongi out if that bog.

When he was finally out, he was tightly hugged by Jimin who was near to cry.

" Did you get hurt somewhere? Are you feeling good?" He asked Yoongi who nodded slightly.

" I-I'm fine now. Let's continue." He said.

It was about to be night time so the guys decide to end their travel for the day. They started finding a perfect place rest for the night.

" That place is perfect. The trees are near each other so it can be perfect for us to tie are tents there." Jungkook pointed out.

They all started setting their tent up which were suspended in the air. They had four tents with them. Two sleeping in one each.

After setting their tents, they started to work on their dinners. They had collected some dry sticks and leaves to light fire with Jungkook's help and they ate their food sitting around it.

" It was such a long day today." Jimin sighed.

" Yeah I was almost about to give up. This is fucking torture. My foot still hurts." BamBam complained.

" Actually I was about to give up too. I was so much exhausted to walk further." Jin said.

" Let me be truthful to ya'll. I don't even know if I can walk a bit tomorrow because my legs hurt as fuck." Y/N said.

" I too don't have the strength to continue any further. My legs feel numb and I am worn out because of whatever happened today." Jungkook said.

" It's so funny right.....the situation we are in." Namjoon chuckled. " If Tae was here, he would have encouraged us and made jokes about whatever happened today and tease us to lifetime." Namjoon said fondly.

All of the members suddenly become silent. Sadness covered over them when they imagined their little fluff ball lying sick on that bed.

" I-I am going to my tent now. BamBam come after you complete eating." Jungkook said to BamBam and climbed up to his tent.

All of them sighed knowing that the poor boy didn't want to show them his tears.

" I am going to my tent too. I am sleepy and can't control it anymore." Yoongi said and Jimin joined him.

The others stayed and discuss about what they were going to do tomorrow.

The next day arrived and the members were taking off their tents. They brushed their teeth and washed their faces with the water they had.

They ate some fruits for breakfast and started walking again after packing their bags.

They walked and walked for more hours till they could hear noices of water from away.

" It's the river!" Jimin said with happiness. All of them started walking toward the direction of the sound of water. They could have run, but they didn't have much stamina to run.

They finally reached the river. But it was a chasm. The river was flowing between two parts of the earth and they had to pass it.

Jimin backed out a little. He was really afraid of heights. He closed his eyes tightly to calm himself down.

" We have to pass this chasm." Jungkook said.

" No shit Sherlock. We can see that. The question is how can we pass this chasm!?" Y/N snapped.

" The answer is simple. By Yoongi's and BamBam's power. They can help us pass this deep chasm." Namjoon replied to Y/N's questions making Yoongi's and BamBam's eyes widened.

" What are you saying. I-I cannot do that!" BamBam yelled while panicking.

" Yes. Bam is right! Don't put this duty on us!" Yoongi said while panicking too.

" Stop getting afraid. We trust you both. You have to do it or we can't reach the other side. There's no bridge here to cross it." Jin said.

" B-But what i-if-" BamBam started but Jungkook cut him.

" Just forget all those what ifs. You both are our one and only hope. Just trust yourselves like we trust you." Jungkook encouraged the two boys.

" Guys....." Hoseok suddenly said. " Jimin..." He pointed at Jimin who still had his eyes closed.

" Shit..." Jin cursed under his breath. " He is afraid of heights......very much."

Yoongi went towards Jimin and placed his hand over his shoulder.

Jimin immediately opened his eyes when he felt calm with the touch and looked at Yoongi.

" Y-Yoong-"

Yoongi cut him.

" Shh. I know. But will you trust me? Just look at me and all will be fine." Yoongi said.

" B-But this is imposs-"

" Jiminie....Just look at me. Hold my hand." Yoongi said and Jimin followed. He trusted Yoongi, so he just did as said.

He looked at Yoongi's eyes who stared back at Jimin with affection.

Jimin didn't even notice that he was levitating in the air. Yoongi and BamBam with their powers started to take them to the other side of the chasm.

They reached it safely and Yoongi finally gave Jimin a small peck.

" We are on the other side of the chasm Jiminie. You did it!" He said.

Jimin's eyes widened and and he looked at the other side of the chasm.

" I-I did it? I DID IT! I PASSED THE CHASM! I PASSED THAT HEIGHT! DID YOU SEE THAT TAE-" Jimin realised that Taehyung was not with him.

His smile faded and he bit back his tears. He is keeping a secret from everyone. He is keeping it all to himself so that the others would not break here. The world has to be saved. They cannot be selfish.

" L-Let's go..." Jungkook said. They should reach their destination in a few minutes.

" We are here." Namjoon said as he looked at the map where had marked. They were standing in front of a cave.

" So we have to go in here?" Hoseok gulped. No way he can go in that thing.

" Yes. Didn't Namjoon just said that we reached the place?" Yoongi asked him.

" Come on continue walking." Jungkook said talking out his torch. Everyone took out their torches and started walking in the cave.

They again heard a sonund of water rustling.

" Now what's this?" Y/N asked as they walked towards it.

They came across a bridge, which was made to cross a river.

" G-Goddess really is m-mean to me..." Jimin said as pure horror could be seen in his eyes.

The bridge looked so old that it felt like it could be broken at any moment.

" Why don't we just cross this bridge like last time?" Namjoon asked and all of them nodded and looked at the Aerorians.

They tried to use their powers but failed.

" I can't use my power." Yoongi said.

" I can't too." BamBam spoke.

" WTF- wait let me try to use my power.." Hoseok said as he tried to use his fire powers but failed.

" I can't use my powers too!" He said and it shocked everyone.

" I guess all of us can't use any powers in here, in this cave. Maybe we have to cross this bridge." Jin said.

" I won't!" Jimin decided as he turned back to walk away but was stopped by Y/N.

" Jimin....we came here to take the elemental gem together. We do everything together. You cannot back away. This is just an Elemental Gem. We still have to fight that Lord of Darkness, which means that we can also die in that battle. Do your really think backing out is worth it?" She asked him who just stared at the ground.

He can't think anything straight. He can feel Taehyung. It's just that he can't feel Taehyung's physical pain, but still it's affecting him.

Taehyung is-

He tries to shake the thought off. He looks at all the members. ' I wil do it for you soulmate' he thought in his mind.

Y/N took the lead followed by the other guys.

" Ahh!" Hoseok's leg went through one of woods of the bridge.

His heart was beating at so much pace right now. He doesn't have any powers right now. No one will be able to save him of he falls.

He panicked as he started moving on the bridge causing the whole bridge to move.

" Hobi calm down! You are causing the whole bridge to move!" Jin said but Hoseok just couldn't stop panicking.

Jungkook's eyes diverted to the string of the rope attached to the bridge and the other side.

It was breaking.

" Guys the bridge is about to fall! Start walking!" Jungkook said as Y/N walked faster followed by the others.

They reached the ther side just in time the bridge was about to fall.

They sighed of relief.

" How are we going to go back though?" BamBam stared at the other. The others were dumbstruck.

" Didn't think about it...." Namjoon said.

" Let's first just get our gem. Then we would see about all the other things." Jin said.

They reached to a place, where there was a box kept on a stone.

They looked at each other before walking towards it and touching the the box which shined and opened.

Y/N picked it up and put it in the small bag.

Not only that, but a door opened somewhere behind the box of the gem.

" It has to be our exit!" Hoseok said. Jungkook's most awaited moment came. He wanted to go back to his baby as soon as he can, and finally he can now.

" Let's go back to my baby."

*****

So they have finally found all the Elemental Gems!! Now what's gonna happen next!? You will see that soon. Till then 💜💜💜

Jungkook is me watching some BTS content and Yoongi is my friend who looks at me like I've gone crazy 😂😂😂
