"You guys met Jungkook's past self and he's a loyal servant to Jin hyung's parents in this time?" Namjoon asked as the trio nodded, their hair bouncing in sync.

"And Jin hyung's parents ordered the past Jungkook to steal the relic? Is that correct?" Yoongi asked and the trio nodded again.

"But why?" Taehyung asked, stroking his chin.

"We will find out about that when we visit our past selves." Jimin said and everyone nodded.

"Or we can find out now..." Jungkook said and slowly turned his head on your direction.

You were just sitting at the corner with your arms crossed, you raised a brow when they all looked at you, "I think it's better for you guys to find out and I'm too lazy to have a long speech right now."

"I totally relate to that." Yoongi said and shrugged.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous if we will visit our past selves?" Jimin asked.

You shook your head, "We won't be recognized as people from the future or like a doppelganger of our past selves. They see us as just simple citizens."

"But how are we going to know our way?" The eldest asked while munching a grape with Hoseok holding it for him.

"I'll give you maps and don't worry, we will go by groups because most of us are going in the same way." You explained lazily, almost sounding like a drunkard.

"So, what happened yesterday night? You didn't got the relic right?" The four of you, who entered the palace last night, sighed with Hoseok's question.

"One of them saw me and," You leaned towards them, "I was wondering why most of the soldiers were inside the King's room."

"Pardon me but are you sure that it's the King's room?" Namjoon asked, trying to not offend you.

You nodded, "Yeah. My memory is so clear and can remember every details that it sucks to have it."

They stared at you, not knowing how to react, "What? It's not a big deal to me anymore." You said while waving your hand.

The leader cleared his throat, "You've mentioned that the relic was in the King's room, right? Maybe the soldiers were there because it's missing since there's no reason to have so many soldiers inside."

The members eyes widened while you nodded, "But who will steal it? The past Jungkook wasn't able to do it because the present Jungkook managed to stop and threaten him."

"Ah, I feel bad for myself. Don't repeat it, hyung." Jungkook told Jimin who immediately apologized.

"While you guys are out for visiting, I'll look for the person who has the relic right now."

"Can–"

You cut Yoongi off, "I'll be alright. I can handle myself."

"No, no. I know you can handle yourself."

"Then, what is it?"

"Can you draw the maps now?"

You rolled your eyes and he chuckled, "I don't think we should waste any time."

You nodded, "Yeah, you're right." With that, you opened your palms then papers and a pen appeared in the table, the mist fading in the air.

You began drawing maps for each of them and after that, you distributed it and everyone stood up.

"Thank you." They said, sincerity written all over their faces.

You nodded and opened your palms again, small circles of mists burst out and went inside their ears.

"What was that for?" Jimin asked, holding his ear as if he will be able to touch the mist if he did it.

"Putting a part of my magic in you. So if anything happens, just say Guardian then my name. Be careful."

Just like what you said, the group was divided into three; You along with Taehyung and Hoseok since you're all going in the same way. Then, Jimin with Namjoon and Yoongi and lastly, Jin with Jungkook.

You aren't planning to visit your past self, you're going to look for the person who has the relic and Hoseok will go with you since he can't visit his past self.

Everyone began to take their own paths with maps on their hands, "Whose place are we going to reach first, hyung?" Jungkook asked the elder.

Jin looked at his map, "Hmmm, mine."

The maknae nodded, "I'll accompany you then before I go to mine. I think it's not that far from yours."

Minutes later, the two arrived in front of a place, "Is this it?" Jin asked.

"Look at your map, hyung."

Jin followed and his eyes widened when the drawing faded and was replaced by a picture of the palace where Jin lives.

"Are we going in?" The maknae asked.

"I think we should climb that tree since I don't think the guards will let us in."

Jungkook climbed first and offered his hand to help his hyung up but let go when Jin's about to climb, "Jungkook!"

The younger laughed and finally pulled the other up, Jin was about to scold him but paused when someone spoke. That's when they realize that they're near the dining room and the window was left open, allowing the two to see what's happening inside.

The past Jin was frowning with the King and Queen across him, "You did what?!" The Prince stood up and couldn't stop his voice from raising.

"Son, calm down." The Queen spoke calmly.

"Why did you ordered the young kid to steal the relic?!– No, why do you have to steal it in the first place?! You already fixed marriage me to Princess Y/n, what is the point of doing this?!"

"That is why we fixed marriage you to her in the first place, Son. To make her family think that our intentions are clean and to avoid being suspects once we steal the relic. But that brat didn't succeed, ruining the plan." The King spoke calmly, the Prince getting angry even more with the words he spoke.

"Do not call Jungkook like that! And..." He took a deep breath, "I don't want to marry the Princess."

The King rose from his seat, "What?!"

"He's so different from your father in the present." The present Jungkook whispered to Jin, who nodded as they continued listening.

"We only see each other as siblings, nothing more."

"You will marry the Princess! No matter what!"

"Then what?! You are going to steal the relic?!"

"Yes!"

"Why is that relic so important?!"

"Simple, it will give us power to travel anywhere in time. With that, I can change the past and make us more successful and powerful. They will no longer look down on us."

The past Jin clenched his fist, his neck and ears were so red, "What a greedy sh*t." With that, he left the room.

"Jin!" The Queen called and went after his son.

The King's eyes widened in disbelief which was soon replaced with anger, "Kim Seokjin!"
