Summary: After one fateful night, you find yourself transmigrated into your favorite novel as the Empress that shares the same name as you. As a bookworm, most would think you’d be happy, but how could you be happy when the Empress you’ve become is expected to be killed in three months. The only thing on your mind now is to learn how to survive.
Warning: May contain depictions of violence and mentions of abuse throughout the story. Multiple people crying in this one.
The boys lurch forward to grab hold of you, any part of you to bring you back. With sheer desperation they reach their arms out as far as their body can let them. But before they could even grab you, the portal flashes once more, blinding them momentarily before it disappears in the darkness. Bringing you along with it.
Jungkook gasps loudly as he falls to the ground where he last saw you, “Y/n! Y/n! Come back!” he wails out, tears streaming down his face now. “No, no, no,” he repeatedly mutters, choking back a sob, flailing his arms out as if that could miraculously bring you back to him.
Namjoon steps forward to grab onto his shoulders tightly, “Jungkook calm down!”
“Let go of me!” He roars loudly as he attempts to free himself, but in his current state, Namjoon easily overpowers him.
“Jungkook, stop it!” Namjoon yells, trying to pull him up from the ground, “You’re going to hurt yourself!” he continues to shout as he knows his knees are probably suffering from the gravel and small stones from the ground. With how he’s flailing his body, he has no doubt there are small cuts present on his legs.
“I don’t care hyung!” Jungkook sobs, nothing could hurt him more than the pain he’s feeling in his heart right now, “s-she’s gone,” he whimpers out, unable to grasp the situation fully as all he could see was the pain and hurt on your face. He can’t even begin to imagine how much you suffered throughout the week.
“Screaming won’t bring her back,” Namjoon tells him, holding his own tears for the sake of his youngest friend. God only knows how much he wants to scream and cry out just like him, but he knows it’ll only worsen the situation even more. He needed to stay strong for them, is what he tells himself.
“You don’t know that,” Jungkook snaps, whipping his head to look at him with crazed eyes, “maybe if I yell loud enough she’ll hear me wherever she is! S-She’ll know how much I want her here! She has to!” All rational thought out the door as he was just so desperate to bring you back. He was willing to do anything even if that meant he would have to suffer in order to do so. Nothing else mattered to him other than you at the moment.
“I-I never even got to tell her I love her,” he wails as he buries his head in his hands. Regret written all over his face as he just wishes to turn back the time, maybe if he reacted differently to the situation, you wouldn’t want to leave them. Leave him.
