THE WOODS

'There is always an adventure waiting in the woods'

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"You sure you aren't really dumb?" Jimin asked casually while dubbing a cotton pad onto Jungkook's bleeding eyebrow where he got hurt earlier, looking back he was glaring at him "whom you calling dumb?" Jungkook scowled at Jimin reminding him of an angry bunny "what, dumb?" Jimin was intentionally riling up Jungkook having way too much fun teasing him 'he looks like he almost wants to kill me' Jimin thought out before clearing his throat "no I don't mean your one just back there you didn't fight back even after having that body...." he said the last part to himself masking the way he had time to look at his body.

"I....don't know how to fight" lies, is all Jimin's brain could register, with that body how dare he not know how to fight, that body was meant to fight, well don't judge a cover by its book (see what I did there｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡)

'i can't tell you I am powerless without my ring' Jungkook sighed planning not to give any explanation to Jimin while he stared at the necklace in his hand, glad he got it back. "How did you find it?" he asked and Jimin laughed nervously "not everyday you find jewelry laying on the ground" he said 'and almost sold it off' he rubbed his neck in embarrassment which went unnoticed by Jungkook 'i can't believe I almost did that' he had his regrets.

"How did you do that?" Jungkook asked with curiosity "do what?" Jimin asked "the book, you made it disappear and then you had it" he sounded like a kid wondering how a magician made that trick. Jimin sat up and looked all smug "I can pull off ticks it's my specialty" he bragged and Jungkook rolled his eyes 'smug enough, i can see that but what's a human with such kind of tricks unless it's a.....' "am not a sorceress or witch or wizard you might think" he just read his mind 'he reads minds too' Jungkook noted at the back of of his head, he was speechless as he looked at Jimin.

"I do tricks after years of practicing, it's really easy, I mean see.." Jungkook was confused at first and looking down to his hands the necklace was gone "check in your pockets" Jungkook quickly did and he found it "a witch" is all he concluded and Jimin never laughed so hard in his life as he did right now, it's the first time someone gave him that kind of look. Some were always looking at him like he murdered someone some were wide eyed but Jungkook was just....funny "your so funny, it's nothing serious really" he gathered himself up and put away the first aid box. "You must be hungry which i am too so make yourself comfortable I'll make ourselves something" Jimin smiled and stood up to walk away to the kitchen as Jungkook only stared at his back before he pulled himself up and went outside to feel the fresh air.

Jungkook put aside whatever he was thinking about Jimin and stood at the balcony of the wooden cabin and relaxed he got, he finally took in the area around himself. Ever since he landed he didn't get a break to look at where he was exactly and now he did he can't help and appreciate.

The trees stood tall and proud their leaves of vibrant green that seem to capture the essence of life. The air fresh and crisp filled with scent of pine and earth a perfume that soothes the souls making me take deep breathes. Sunlight that streams through the branches creating patterns of light and shadow upon the ground. Gentle rustling of leaves and distant call of birds are the only sounds, a natural melody that speaks of peace. 

Then to the cabin was surrounded by towering pines and whispering leaves. The cabin itself had it's rough hewn logs and smoke lazily curling from the chimney a point that Jimin was actually making something at the moment. Jungkook could actually think this is all 'impressive', as far as humans were stupid from his point of view this was actually impressive. The cabin was ancient aesthetic and it gave off such a nature comfort of peace absolutely what Jungkook loves 'snap out of it' he reminded, he didn't come to get comfortable he was here for a reason and he would much as early start working on it, but before that he needs to find the most important thing, his ring. 

It was his backbone of everything "the ring would also guide you to the prince" the voice of Aureus reminded so he needed to find it as soon as possible "but how?" he groaned leaning to the railing pulling his hair in frustration, he doesn't even know what to do next. 

One thing for sure he knows is that he cant let his true self be revealed, he cant tell no one at all, not yet. A lot had happened and he needs to get his thoughts together which is not now, he needed serious rest, not everyday you land on earth from all the way of the sun now he thinks he might have angered the Gods at some point to punish him like this. "The food is ready wanna join?" Jimin called out from where he was and Jungkook only sighed and went back in he was starving that's for sure. 

Jungkook was....confused, he looked around the table and he could barely figure out what kind of food he was looking at right now. 'i have never had this before' he thought to himself as being a picky eater he was this was not what he was planning for. Jimin was busy munching on his soy bean noodles getting it at the corner of his lips which didn't go unnoticed by Jungkook, doesn't eat the classic way he notes to himself. 

Jimin was too hungry as he ate at an inhuman pace and looked up to see Jungkook who gave him looks which reminded him he wasn't alone. "i know an animal that eats like that" Jungkook pointed out making Jimin frown he was being called an animal???

"And you though why are you not eating?" Jimin decided to ask seeing Jungkook didn't touch anything on his plate. "or...you don't know all these?" Jimin asked and Jungkook nodded his head making Jimin frown more 'where is this guy from?' he was utterly confused. 

"ok look here this is Kongguksu Soy Bean Noodles, eat while it's still hot" Jimin suggested but Jungkook seemed hesitant "c'mon am not poisoning you, see am eating it too" Jimin tried and finally Jungkook took a taste "how is it?" Jimin asked in anticipation but Jungkook managed an aggressive eating and frowning at the same time and Jimin couldn't tell if he was liking it or not. 

But Jungkook never stopped eating it only meant he was loving it "I know right" Jimin giggled while digging in too "and this here is bossam" he pointed and Jungkook didn't waste a minute to try it out too, "there is Japchae, mushrooms....." Jimin continued to tell Jungkook the food he made and Jungkook tasted it right away and aggressively.

'what is this, it's so good!' Jungkook's inner voice pointed out as he couldn't get enough of what he was eating right now it was a new experience 'how comes I have never had any of this before I like it' Jungkook went on eating like it was his last meal making Jimin chuckle

"And you said I was eating like an animal guess who's the other animal?" Jungkook looked up to Jimin "I didn't say you are an animal" he defended and Jimin shrugged "we are very many animals" he chuckled and Jungkook only looked at him for a few seconds before diving in right back, they'll bicker later this is more important, the food was amazing and he was glad to appreciate it by eating of course.

'am weirdly so hungry' Jimin's eating never stopped either and he was never like this he wasn't the person with the biggest appetite he barely ate he was used to hard life but he just can't seem to stop eating right now that he can see the food, be was glad he stocks his food well.

'ever since that night my body had been acting weird and this is one of them, I really am eating like a pig' he groaned to himself and looked up to Jungkook who had now started eating with his bare hands 'and guess am not the only one' he smiled at the scene, Jungkook really was full of surprises and he wanted to see more of that.

What felt like an eternity, a beautiful eternity had finally come to an end, the food was all done"take rest you need it" Jimin reminded Jungkook who pulled his body away from the sink after washing his hands and flopped onto the couch near him "can I sleep here?" he asked face flat in the cushion, Jimin wanted to let him know he could use the guest room but the other was already out as soft snores followed,

"goodnight Jungkook"
