THIRD PERSON'S POV
It's been a few days since Jimin had sheltered Jungkook and mind you nothing was out of the ordinary to Jimin's disappointment. He knew Jungkook was mysterious he's not ordinary even though he really is dumb sometimes but he was looking absolute normal but Jimin was indeed disappointed.
For the past few days it was the same routine, Jungkook managed to adapt to his new life here and in the morning he does exactly by refreshing by eating breakfast, eating lunch and dinner and always making faces to whatever food Jimin made because it's too good but wouldn't comment any further Jimin doesn't know why but he didn't dwell on that thought much and after that Jungkook is back to the room Jimin had provided him or he's just out in the trees and come back later, funny how they barely made any conversation between each other but ate together.
Jimin is always out to do his daily errands nothing new there but he'll make sure he leaves food in the kitchen just incase Jungkook would need anything and also so he doesn't burn down his kitchen he's not looking for renovations yet.
And today was no different he was out as usual when Jungkook decided to make an appearance from the room he was given even though it's to his dismay because he's used to rich golden life but he's trying to adapt. Today he decided to look around the cabin as he still found it fascinating. He looked out for the well organized furniture, the nicely curved animals from wood chunks, those looked cool to Jungkook and even touched them. Looking more he came across a big sized curtain covering a wall and nothing to be seen now that Jungkook looks back he saw this curtain the first time he came here it was normal but looking properly he could tell there was something here and he was curious.
He held the curtain by the edge and pulled it off at once and his eyes went wide "wow!" he was amazed by whatever he was seeing. "Is this the 'human technology' ?" he slightly touched them having the feel onto his finger tips.
Actually Jungkook was faced with a collection of binoculars, telescopes, mounts, eye pieces, filters and accessories like maps, notebooks all scribbled on something like an intense research of something but Jungkook didn't know that yet he had no idea what this was but it definitely caught his interest. "Human aren't completely dumb after all" he said a bit loudly with a huff, as he picked up the binoculars looking at it knowingly.
"who's not completely dumb huh?" Jimin's voice came out from nowhere startling Jungkook who accidentally dropped the object looking wide eyed like a deer caught in headlights. Jimin smile drooped when he walked in finding his secret all out in open it wasn't going to be a big deal until his eyes fell onto the broken piece
"what did you do?" Jimin said horrified as he picked up the broken binoculars that had already been damaged enough and can't be fixed back because it's something ancient from years back and you can never get the same from the market.
"I ..am so sorry" Jungkook stuttered as he saw Jimin's reaction "this.....this was the last thing I have from my grandfather and you....you destroyed it!" Jimin didnt mean to yell but he couldn't control the hurt he was feeling. This is something he could never replace at all and now it is gone too, the thing that holds his grandfather's memories he still couldn't fathom it.
Jungkook was absolutely sorry he didn't know why he even touched them and now he regrets it "am sorry Jimin" he apologized again and Jimin looked at him up with red angry eyes "your sorry won't fix It, just.....go away before I say anything I would regret" Jimin was sobbing at this point and Jungkook didn't want to make this situation worse and walked back to his given room closing the door behind him.
Jimin remained sat as he clutched tightly to the object crying hard "am sorry grandfather I.... couldn't keep it properly" he sniffed and hugged it close to himself, it wouldn't be worse if he could see even at least his dead body but now this is the only thing he could manage to cherish and now he felt disappointed. Crying for hours Jimin didn't even notice even he fell asleep on the cold floor, dried tears onto his chubby face as he cried himself to sleep while tightly hugging his grandpa's binoculars.
Meanwhile Jungkook wasn't asleep yet he was rather concentrated on the thing happening around the room. He barely comes out of his room because of the manifestation he's been doing lately.
According to the book Taehyung gave him, the only way he could at least restore 20% on his divine power without his ring is reconnecting the five basic elements in the philosophy of the spiritual realm. He can't believe he's doing it but he has no choice, his stepping onto his pride because he's been too strong to use such short cuts but he's weak now it's the only way he can acquire something for the mean time.

He sat crossed legged and closed his eyes calming his spirit and nerves before later on chanting in tongues, well it was the sun city language basically. He doesn't know if it will work yet, but a after futile fails he can't give up yet he knew it would work out some day and today is another day to try again.
He continued to chant for the a hundredth time as sweat dripped down his forehead, was it hot in here?. He had to be extra careful and he would also apologize to Jimin later for scribbling a few mantras on his wooden floor, he had to know the correct recitement of it.
The candle that was melting down suddenly went off and it went dark completely and Jungkook felt a change in the atmosphere and slowly opening his eyes to the darkness the air was still, uninterrupted and suddenly his eyes glew golden bright as images flashed through his eyes.
A house.....
More like an old abandoned house.....
A box, a black box had something in it..
It was heavily guarded....
There are eyes everywhere
But what was special about this?, suddenly opening the box by some unfamiliar people he saw his black ring, gleaming into the darkness and Jungkook felt a pang in his chest trying so hard not to make a peep....
And everything was out, the candle was back again lighting like it never went off the air was normal and Jungkook was panting heavily "my ring..." he muttered. It was only clear that it all worked out the book was right and Jungkook recovered but some of his divinity to show him a way.
Looking down at his clutched hand, he slowly opened his palm only a silver moon pendant to shine brightly in the dark room, "yeah an apology gift" he sighed to himself. One thing about the spell is it will work for something you are desperately seeking for and Jungkook was desperate for his ring and desperate for Jimin's forgiveness he knew he did wrong.
In the Sun city, when someone gets angry at you the only way to seek forgiveness is to gift them something special and Jungkook wasn't surprised some of his mana (spiritual power) was able to make the beautiful pendant, well old habits die hard. "It's beautiful, like his personality..." he smiled before hiding it away.
Before he slept off that night he made sure he cleared out everything like he never did anything here because maybe today was his last night here.

Early in the morning when Jimin woke up, his body ached for sleeping onto one side the whole night. He sat up with so much struggle and looked around as memories of last night flashed back making him groan he was guilty "i shouldn't have shouted at him it was an accident" he sighed he had to talk to Jungkook right away. He got an empty box and carefully placed the pieces of binoculars back in and closed the box placing it together with the rest before closing the curtain back again like nothing happened.
He quickly went to Jungkook's room before knocking on it softly "Jungkook..." he called but he didn't get an answer "i know i shouted at you, i am sorry its not your fault ok am not angry" Jimin spoke out but still never got a response "are you in there?" he knocked again "how about i make you that ramen with soy source you liked" at this point Jungkook would have rushed out like an excited kid but he didn't and Jimin knew there was something wrong.
The door opened on it's own and Jimin was surprised for a minute, the room was completely clean like no one was in here which was true because a few of Jungkook's belongings weren't here.
At a far was something shining brightly as he took it in his hands "its beautiful" he smiled and a note written beside it.
