"Jungkook...?"
It appears that the guardians are all in the room. Two looking out the window, one by the door, two more near the narrow hallway to the kitchen. Lucem is on the floor, next to a grief-stricken boy with messy dark hair.
Atelier hopes that she was wrong, but she is not.
"Your highness," one of the guardians addresses her, and immediately, they all move away from their positions to kneel in respect, except Lucem, who looks terribly frustrated. He looks even more so when he turns to see Atelier.
She doesn't need superpowers to know what he is thinking. "I know," she says. "I'm sorry." Lucem purses his lips and moves aside so that she is looking straight at Jungkook, and he is looking back at her.
Atelier has never seen Jungkook without his trademark smile. He looks so different now. So defeated, angry. At no one else but her. If he weren't so weak, he would have launched himself at her.
