The Specter's Guardian • jhs✅

You're at the nearest hill and currently staring at the night view of the capital. You're sitting at the edge of the hill while the members were cooking food with a fire they created.

You don't know what they are up to, all you've heard was that they want to experience camping and wants to spend their last night in this era staring at the stars and moon.

It was fine with you, you needed break anyway.

"Hey." You turned to your left and saw Tae who took a seat next to you and handed you skewers.

"Thanks." The surroundings is silent and only the crackling of fire can be heard, there's no wind but it's cold.

"I want to thank you," Taehyung glanced at you, "For saving my life."

"It's my job."

"But Hobi hyung is your job? Not us?"

"You guys are his friends so you're my responsibility too, besides I don't care if it's my job as a guardian or as a friend."

"Did you just considered us as your friends?" You rolled your eyes when Jin occupied the space on your right side, "What? Why are you rolling your eyes?"

"I don't like your presence."

"Hey!" You smirked and accepted the drink he handed you.

"Thanks."

"Welcome– Sh*t! Why is this so high?!" He suddenly panicked and closed his eyes after realizing how high you guys were in.

You chuckled and held his hand, "You should've expected that before suggesting to camp here."

The members began to sit along with the three of you, "Ah. Good old days." They all looked at you with a confused look.

"Good old days?"

"We do this in every era." Their lips formed into an O and nodded.

"Now, I'm curious what we were like in our past lives." Jimin said which made you laugh.

"In some era, you guys exchange personalities."

"Tell us!"

You smiled, "Jin exchanged with Jungkook–"

"WHAT?!" They both exclaimed and the other members laughed.

"Imagine! Jungkook saying dad jokes!" Jimin said in between his laughs, his eyes forming straight lines.

"They almost have the same personality anyway." Namjoon said and shrugged.

"Shut up. Next, next!" Jin immediately said.

You shook your head, "Hoseok and Yoongi. Taehyung and Namjoon and Jimin."

"Oh! Who got Namjoon hyung's intelligence among Jimin and I?" Taehyung asked.

"Jimin."

"Really?! Nice!"

"That's unfair!" Taehyung complained and pouted.

"Whose personality did I got?" Namjoon asked and you pointed at Taehyung with your lips.

Everyone laughed again, "Imagine! Namjoon hyung being dumb!"

"Hey!" Taehyung punched Jimin's shoulder but made sure not to hit him hard but the other reacted exaggeratedly.

"So, I got Jimin's personality?" You gave Tae a nod who shrugged, "I prefer having his personality than his fingers."

"Hey!"

"Hobi hyung! Can you try being grumpy like Yoongi hyung?" Jungkook asked. You glanced at Yoongi who didn't react or even glare at the maknae.

Hoseok did what he's told and everyone winced, "You're too scary. It's like you'll eat us alive."

"Anyway, Yoongi hyung~"

He just rolled his eyes and copied Hoseok's smile later on and everyone cooed with how cute he looked like.

"Were you with us in every era?" Jin asked you and you nodded.

"I was with you in this era and after dying, I became a guardian and began to introduce myself to you guys under a fake name."

"Huh? Why use a fake name?"

"Against the rules."

They all frowned, "But you introduced your real name to us? And even your background." Namjoon said.

You smiled, "It's getting tiresome."

Everyone went silent and stared at the night sky, wondering of how much you've been through and how you managed the pain of seeing each of your loved ones lost their lives.

"What will you guys do after all of this?" Taehyung asked.

"I want Y/n to stay with us!" Jimin said and everyone agreed.

You smiled, "I promise that you guys will receive what you really deserve. More than having me with you."

You stood up, "Let's go to sleep, travelling back to the present requires more energy than coming here."

"Be careful on your travel back."

"We will, Grandma. Take care." Taehyung said and hugged her.

You sighed, you guys are back on where you first landed. Just a little bit more...

You opened your palm, the relic floating above and this immediately caught the members' attention.

"That's so cool!"

"It's so beautiful!"

You closed your palm and the relic disappeared, "We have to go." Everyone nodded as you guys fall in a vertical line, just like what you did before.

You waved at Grandma who smiled before your smoke showered the eight of you and just like that, you guys disappeared like you were never there.

Grandma frowned when she felt like she's holding something, she opened her palm and saw a necklace along with a letter.

Thank you.
