The Specter's Guardian • jhs✅

43

Now, the trio are heading to Jimin's place and since his past self is a sorcerer, they arrived at a village filled with sorcerers.

There weren't much sorcerer around but the kids around made it look chaotic since they kept on running around and accidentally releasing magic from every direction.

Yoongi frowned when he felt something coming from behind so he turned around and was caught off guard when a ball of magic was in the air and is few inches away from his face. Thanks to someone who had managed to stop it.

"Apologies!" A teen said and stopped in front of Yoongi and bowed.

"You should be always cautious, Dawon. I already told you that you are not a sorcerer and playing with a magic ball is dangerous."

A familiar voice said causing for the trio to look at the direction where it's coming from.

"I deeply apologize, Misters!" The teen said who named Dawon, the members immediately recognized her.

"I-it is alright, young miss." Namjoon said formally.

"Go back to your friends, Dawon. Be cautious."

"Yes, brother Taehyung!" Then she dashed off.

The past Taehyung faced the trio, "What is the past Taehyung doing here?" Jimin whispered.

"You refer to each other as soulmates right? Maybe you are really best friends ever since this time. This is our first life anyway." Namjoon explained.

The past Taehyung cleared his throat, "I am Kim Taehyung, a seer. What can I do for you, young masters?"

"Good day, Mister Taehyung," Namjoon awkwardly said while scratching his nape, thinking for an excuse, "We are here for a–"

"Tae!" A high pitched voice called for him which made the leader relieved.

A short male with his hair bobbing as he ran is waving at Taehyung's direction and when he stopped in front of the trio, they immediately recognized him.

"Oh! You are with guests?" When Taehyung nodded, the past Jimin faced them, "Greetings! I am Park Jimin, a sorcerer!"

The present Jimin finds it awkward and amazing at the same time, talking to his sorcerer self, "Greetings, we are uh... travelers! Looking for a shelter to stay at for a while..."

"Oh! We are glad to help. Come on and follow us." The sorcerer happily said while the seer just squinted his eyes at the trio.

After some walking, they finally arrived at the last house of the village. The drawing on Jimin's map was now replaced by a colorful picture of his house.

Suddenly, a man rushing out from the house made the sorcerer Jimin stop, "Why? What is happening, Father?"

"Son, the relic was stolen. The matchmaker King called for me."

The sorcerer and the seer's eyes widened, "Will you allow me to come with you?"

"No, Son. Stay here with your mother and younger brother."

The sorcerer nodded, "I will take care of them. Be careful on your way." Then the father just greeted the trio and left.

"Apologies," He smiled, "Shall we go inside?"

You are walking with a bored expression while Taehyung and Hoseok are tailing behind you, they kept on talking about random topics. They even talked about frogs and other nonsense things.

"We are here." You announced and stopped in front of a house.

"Oh, didn't realize that." Taehyung said which made you roll your eyes.

Suddenly, Taehyung moved like his soul left his body, his eyes closed for a brief second and when he opened it again. His eyes was suddenly solid black.

Your eyes widened when he suddenly went to choke Hoseok who's just standing right next to him and asking if he's okay.

You held Taehyung's arm and threw him sending him flying in the air and losing his consciousness. You immediately jumped to catch him in a bridal style and landed on the ground perfectly.

"Y/n!" Hoseok called and ran after you, you went behind Taehyung's house and entered  a house smaller than the main house.

A woman was in there and was surprised when you sent the door open with your magic.

"Need your help." You simply said and the woman gestured you to put him down on the bamboo bed.

"Are you sure she can be trusted?" Hoseok asked you when you stood next to him and leaned against the wall while the woman checks Taehyung.

You smirked and just shrugged, his mouth opening in disbelief, "What? That's it?!"

The woman stood up to grab an elixir, she opened it and gestured, "Need a hand." She divert her gaze to Hoseok who got surprised.

"Y-you can see me?"

You chuckled causing for him to give you a confused look, "I will answer your confusion later, young man. Let us save your friend first."

Hoseok immediately helped the woman and did what she says, when Taehyung successfully took the liquid in, the woman stood up and put the bottle back on the cabinet.

She stared at Taehyung, "Never thought I will meet my grand grandson from the present."

Hoseok gasped which made you smirk, "Apologies for what I have said earlier, ma'am. I-i didn't know..."

Taehyung's grand grandmother chuckled, "It is alright. I will doubt too if I am in your place."

"How can she hear me?" Hoseok whispered to your ear.

"She's a seer, Hoseok. One of the highest, so no doubt her magic is on a higher level." You turned to Taehyung's grand grandmother, "Let me introduce ourselves, I am Y/n, a–"

"Guardian at the present and the only princess of the highest matchmaker family." She continued while you replied with a nod.

"I am Jung Hoseok, a ghost."

"And a loyal servant of The Kim family. I know all of you, you are my grandson's friends. He is at a sorcerer's place right now named Jimin."

"We know him! He's a friend in the present too! We are in the same group!" Hoseok said while smiling widely which is too contagious that you smiled a bit as well.

"Group?" She asked, confused.

"Boy band group, we sing, dance and many activities to entertain people." You stared at the specter, his smile is so bright.

"Oh, you make people happy? That is amazing! I am proud of my grandson and your group."

"Thank you!"

Knocks resounded, cutting off the two's conversation. You walked towards the door and opened it, frowning at the three soldiers standing in the doorway.

"You are under arrest for trespassing the palace of the highest matchmaker family."
