"He had blue...electric blue hair."

"A-Are you sure?" Namjoon asked Sumi.

He felt the need to confirm again, and watched the way Sumi rolled her eyes at him. "Of course! I'm not blind you know."

"I didn't say-"

"All I can say is-" Sumi spoke over him. "I was trying to jump locations, and when I briefly looked around, I saw the blue-haired guy stare right at me, at the place where I stood."

"He shouldn't have been able to see me but-"

"But what?" Namjoon frowned. Was there more to the story?

Sumi glanced at Nora, and then back at him. "But it seemed as if he could see me clearly, even with my powers shielding most of my body. And he also looked, as if he was in a hurry, wanting to go somewhere?"

"Did you see the direction where he was heading?" Nora asked.

"Sadly, no. I was too surprised with the fact, that some random human could see my form, and didn't faint from the shock of it."

"Blue haired..." Nora whispered, and she and Namjoon shared a look.

It had to be him.

No other guy, security or staff, had dyed their hair blue, except for one of the BTS members.

Namjoon still found it hard to wrap his head around the discovery. How was it possible? How could he had seen Sumi?

As far as Namjoon knew, he was the only one from their group who believed in myths. He was the one who had read tons of myth and legends related books, and banned papers, from authors whose names were whispered in secretive meetings, only to be silenced, when someone found out about them.

It was hard to find a fellow human who believed in things that Namjoon had read, for the last couple years. It was harder to have another BTS member believe in Namjoon's opinion on myths, because, honestly, who would want to agree with him?

The topic was too fantastical, too much of a mystery, with no concrete proof to show them that such things existed, that myths existed.

Jin hyung had once asked him, why he was so sure about the existence of his myths.

Namjoon hadn't told him much, except that he believed there were powers at work, hidden among humans, that made myths possible.

He knew that rumors, in whatever form or method, must have risen from some incident, some infamous viewing of the myths, that had been swept under the rug. And now, they only had word of mouth to go by, only the rumors to follow and search for truth.

The others were non believers, just like Jin hyung, to a certain degree.

Jimin liked reading about them, and looked at the books filled with myth stories, as some kind of kids story book. He enjoyed immersing himself in magic and the tales of old. But he didn't believe they were reality.

Jungkook was more into gaming then anything else. He wasn't much of a reader, but did occasionally listen to Namjoon talk about myths, like the obedient maknae he was. He smiled and nodded to Namjoon's ways of expressing frustration at the lack of published articles on myth sightings.

As for Suga hyung, he was too worked up about his current mixtape, which was in it's final stage of production. The elder was a man of few words and held a realistic belief as far as myths were concerned.

"I think the origin of the myths came from us humans, and our need to feel the presence of a greater power or powers beside us and cling to it." he had said once.
