Heart pounding, I stare up at the ceiling until I'm confident Taehyung is asleep. Waiting has been agonizing, but if I'm too rash with my actions, I could end up getting the fairy hurt. I don't want that. All I want is for them to grant my wishes.

I carefully get up and grab my backpack and head far enough away so that no one will be able to find me and sit down and grab the jar out of my bag and try to get a better look at the fairy. They remind me of the fairy in my paintings, so I bring the orb closer to myself, wondering what their face looks like.

However, before I can get close, the jar vibrates in my hand, only to explode. My eyes clench shut, bracing for impact that never comes. Instead of glass shards cutting me up, I am instead greeted with the peculiar feeling of someone in my lap.

My eyes open and I instantly blush. They're more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined.

Soft, silver eyes look like full moons as the fairy studies me, full, plush-looking pink lips set into a slight pout as they do so. They look extremely beautiful and their nose makes me want to boop it.

Fingers run through my hair and I instantly grab their waist as they touch me and stare into my eyes. The fact that my hair is much lighter than anyone else's in the area has always made me feel a bit curious and self conscious, but the way the fairy seems to be so interested in it makes me glad for the peculiarity for once.

The fairy exhales, cold, minty breath hitting my face before their hand moves out of my hair and instead opts to poke my nose, causing it to twitch involuntarily.

Blushing, my hands fly to my nose and the fairy's eyes widen before narrowing slightly in concentration, their finger now poking my forehead.

At the moment of contact, I am overcome with intense feelings of déjà vu followed by memories of a cold, wintery night. I'm vulnerable, cold, and unable to move. But it all goes away and all I feel is security. The ghost of featherlike lips lingers on my forehead and I instantly blush at the memory.

"Your name... what is it?" The fairy asks, their voice the very definition of comfort itself.

"J-Jeon Jungkook."

Author's Note: Jungkook remembers Jimin! What could this mean?
