"No." Milly spoke up.
All heads turned to the girl who had been awfully silent.
"What do you mean?" Jin grabbed her hand.
"I'm not buying it. Not until I've seen it for myself."
Before anybody could respond, she walked out the door. Hurriedly, the rest of them followed.
Milly walked around the cabin, stopping when she discovered the pick-up truck was parked next to it.
"What are you thinking?" Jungkook had joined her first.
Milly turned around to face her friends.
"I think that letter is all we're going to get from the Wisher, Milly." Namjoon confessed.
"I wanna go back. To the apartment." She said, making suspense fill the air.
"Milly..." Jin wasn't sure about this. They shouldn't go messing around with these things if they were finally safe.
"I know, Jin." Milly knew what he was thinking. "Just to make sure. Besides, according to the Wisher, they'll leave us alone from now on." She pleaded her case with them.
She, undoubtedly, would not get any closure if she didn't go.
Somewhat begrudgingly, they gave in and entered the car after a small discussion.
None of the boys, beside Jin, could deny the curiosity pulling at them. Jin and Milly had talked about the apartment before, but the boys never saw it themselves. Not that they were envisioning something spectacular, it was only an apartment after all.
=❣=
Nevertheless, they were not expecting what they did get to see, and neither did Jin and Milly.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Hobi felt a little silly for asking but couldn't help himself.
Jin nor Milly responded; they were just standing there, staring with wide eyes.
Where once was the entrance to the place they had been stuck in for a long time, was now nothing of the sort.
Nothing was there at all.
Nothing except a wasteland of - probably illegally - dumped garbage. It was as if the apartment never existed at all.
Instead of feeling sad, the couple felt relieved.
Milly found comfort in the confirmation it was done, they were free.
Jin pulled her in for a kiss, ignoring the few hoots and gags.
A kiss that sealed their troubles away, they were finally free.
Of course, the nightmares wouldn't magically disappear. The flashbacks and the trauma were there to stay.
But no more, no longer will they have to fear the day.
They could start healing.
"Ready to go?" Jimin asked as Jin and Milly turned to the others.
The smile on Milly's face grew, her eyes twinkling.
Jin nodded, smiling just as much.
An arm slung over Milly's shoulders. "I think we have a home to get back to." Yoongi smirked, ready to let loose.
"What are we waiting for, let's go!" Namjoon cheered and led the way back to the car.
No one could wait until they were back at the cabin.
=❣=
Jin drove to the next window of the drive-thru. The smell of food hanging around the building, entering the car.
"I wish they would hurry up. I'm starving!" Jungkook groaned impatiently.
Milly caught Jin's eyes with a grin.
"What?" Taehyung looked between them suspiciously.
"You know what they say, Jungkook..." Jin said, a teasing tone in his voice.
"Be careful what you wish for!" Milly grinned, making everyone snort at their joke.
Fortunately, the food arrived not too much later. The atmosphere in the car was lively, filled with laughter and casual conversation. The family of eight was on their way home.
On their way to start living the next day.
