Country J (Part 5)

Yoon Gi's POV

I was taking a walk in the garden after planning through how to bring down the witch. I hope that our plan would be a success against that evil witch. Even I just met her the temptation to call her a witch is so strong. I really wonder how Seok Jin hyung actually stand her for so many years. She's just as annoying as she can be. Seeing her make up face was enough as a nightmare for a kid and he had to live with her for so many years. At the same time, although we are here for vacation I still worried and think about Lilac. I just hope that she's okay. Even if she doesn't remember me now, I still yearn to care for her. How I wish I could be by her side?

"Oh isn't this Yoon Gi." A voice said. 

I turned around to see that witch. How unlucky can I get? Urghh…

"Greetings your highness." I said. 

"How do you find the garden?" She asked. 

"Well it's pretty nice and simple." I said. 

"Well thank you. I've been working hard to take care of it." She said self praising. 

'Huh you want to play. I will play with you. Dimwit.' I said in my heart. 

"But isn't it too simple for a royal garden. I felt like a commoner walking in here. I've been to a lot of royal's garden and this just seems more like a commoner garden to me." I said mockingly. 

I see her face turned green from listening to what I've said. It's just so funny to watch her reaction. 

"Your highness I would take my leave now. Thank you for telling me about your garden." I said. 

It was really entertaining. Who ask you to disturb my thoughts about Lilac! I'm gonna tell the boys later. I make my way back to Jin hyung's room. Walking into the room, I could see that J-Hope and Nam Joon sprawled on the floor whereas Jimin, Jung Kook and Tae Hyung are sleeping on the bed. Jin hyung is no where to be found. Probably he has some official business to do. It's best if I don���t ask too much. I decide to lie on the sofa which is comfortable enough to pass as a bed. I let fatigue take over me and fell into my la la land. 

I woke up due to the noise around me. I don't want to open my eyes because I'm still very tired but the boys just wouldn't shut up. I woke up and wanting to glare at them but the whole place was dark and quiet. I thought I heard noise just now. Everyone of them is still in their own sleeping position but why did I hear those noise. I walk to the door to see if the noise came from outside but it was the same. I heard someone talking down the hallway. Turns out it was Jin hyung. He was talking to someone on the phone. As I walk closer to him, he disappeared. I blinked my eyes to see that there really isn't anyone there. Am I having hallucinations or am I dreaming? I pinch myself hard and groaned from the pain. I'm sure that I'm not asleep but where did all these hallucinations come from. I walk down the hallway and see a maid cleaning that place. It looks like something had spilled on the tiles. 

I called that maid to make sure that she's real. She turned to me and smile. So, I'm sure that she's real. I started wandering around aimlessly to find for Jin hyung. After 30 minutes, I decide to walk back to the room but suddenly I felt a force tugging me from going back to the room. When I want to scream for help, there's no voice coming out from my mouth. It felt as if something is forcing its way down my throat not letting me to speak. I felt horrible as I want to spit out whatever that's in my throat. When I look down, I see a face smiling at me below the tiles. It was a face of a young lady putting her fingers at her lips asking me to keep quiet. At that moment, I felt a gush of wind and heard a voice. 

"Calm down Yoon Gi." That voice said. 

"Who are you?" I asked. 

I was surprised that I could actually speak. 

"I am Seok Jin's mother. My spirit had been trapped in this palace for many years. Ever since I've passed away, this palace had been sealed with a spell. All these years I don't dare to disturb Seok Jin but when I tried it didn't work. He couldn't see me. When I saw you in his room, I felt a connection with you. Maybe it's because you're related to the person that had sealed me here. I'm sorry if I had scared you just now even to the point of using Seok Jin's image to bring you here. Basically, everyday I've been waiting for someone to let me go from this spell. Can you help me?" She asked.

"How can I be sure that you're his mother?" I asked. 

"Ask me something about Seok Jin." She said. 

"Well you know our names so I couldn't ask you that. Then let me ask you this what does Jin likes to put a lot in his seaweed soup." I asked. 

"Sesame oil. That child had always like the smell of sesame oil since he's a young boy." She said. 

"Ok. I will trust you for now. Will you let me tell the rest of them about you?" I asked. 

"Of course. Please tell Seok Jin that I missed him a lot as well." She said. 

"Ok." I said. 

"Thank you so much for being so willing to help me." She said.
