T-Thank you, Namjoon. Seriously."

The younger nodded with a small smile. "Of course. Now, unfortunately I don't know how much more I can sneak things for you.... I can't have people getting suspicious."

My lips pulled together in a tight line as I opened the bag of food he snuck in for me. "I-I get it."

Namjoon frowned, crouching down to be at eye level with me. "I know you're in pain, Yoongi. I'm so sorry... I thought he would choose to be with you."

I shrugged. "It's his choice. I just wish the choice that he made didn't make me wish I had been executed."

Namjoon sighed, sitting down on the ground next to me with a slight huff. "I'm not supposed to tell you this. Yoongi, from what I hear, he wishes he had come with you. Apparently he's cried himself to sleep every night, and every time he hears a noise he thinks it's you coming to save him."

I perked up slightly. "So... maybe I should try again? I can go visit him again and maybe he'll actually come!"

He shook his head rapidly. "They've gradually increased the number of guards throughout the city. There is no way in hell you would survive making it to him."

"Well, I have to try. I already feel like I'm dead, so why not risk my life trying to get my heart and soul back to me?"

The room was silent for a few minutes. I was getting ready to speak again when Namjoon stood up suddenly.

"Namjo-"

He held up a hand, wrapping his scarf back around his neck. "I will see what I can do, okay? Just... stay here until further notice. I will let you know."

I released a sigh of relief, standing up myself, meeting Namjoon's shoulder blades.

"Hey Joon?"

He turned around slowly. "What's up?"

I took in a sharp breath before standing on the tips of my toes, and wrapping my arms tightly around his large frame in a hug. I squeezed his body against mine, feeling him hesitantly do the same in return.

We stood in a semi-awkward hug for about thirty seconds until I pulled away.

Namjoon wore a small smile on his lips as he gave my shoulder a squeeze. "I'm glad you weren't executed, Yoongi. You... You really are a great guy."

I felt the first genuine smile for a long time form on my lips as I nodded in his direction, walking as he executed the building, braving the chilly air that made me shiver.

A shorth but hopefully a goody.
