Mono | ᴋ.ᴛʜ & ᴊ.ᴊᴋ ✓

章14

【 Jungkook 】

Time almost seemed like it slowed down as you sat there feeling utterly mesmerized by the stunning view ahead; carefully taking your sweet time in admiring all of the details, not to mention the incredibly magical shades of color you were seeing. 

The both of you had been there for quite some time now, and after a while, Taehyung eventually stood up as he mumbled out a ''Get up we're leaving'' whilst safely putting away his camera into the camera bag he had brought with him— though when you didn't make any effort to budge from your current position, he let out a soft groan and proceeded to nudge your shoulder so that you finally would snap out of it

Taehyung: Come on, if we don't head back soon they'll probably think we've gotten lost and send a team to come look for us.

A wordless nod served as your only reply while you carefully got up, trying your best to not put too much weight on your injured ankle before limping over towards Taehyung; earning another sight out of the older whom shook his head at you before signaling for you to once again hold onto him for support, and as much as you wished to just ignore him and walk by yourself, you knew this was a moment where you needed to swallow your pride and accept the help you were offered in order to not make the injury you had sustained any worse.

And so the two of you slowly began following the forest path leading back to the camp, a heavy and awkward silence still surrounding you both which only was bearable thanks to the calming sounds of the night's nature life.

The colors you had been seeing were slowly becoming more and more desaturated by the second, so you tried to cherish the last of its remains while you still could, considering it would soon once again cease to become yet another memory.

Though after a while, the heavy silence was broken by Taehyung, as he mumbled out what first seemed to sound like a bored-toned question, yet you could still sense the hint of genuine curiosity in his words

Taehyung: So how does the whole Mono color sight even work...?

Jungkook: Honestly I don't really know how it works either, all I've noticed so far is that the longer the eye contact, the longer the effects lasts...

Taehyung briefly glanced down at you as you now lowered your gaze down to the ground, a sad smile painting your lips as your vision now had turned back into the colorless and dull world you were used to seeing.

Taehyung: Do you still see them... the colors?

You shook your head slowly as you sighed softly, voice almost coming out as a whisper as you mumbled out a "No, not anymore..."

Yet another awkward silence then seemed to momentarily surround you both until the older once again felt the need to ruin the somewhat peaceful moment as he cleared his throat before speaking up

Taehyung: Well you better not come looking for me Jeon, I did you a favor and let you see them once. Just remember, I'm not your drug so don't get addicted to it.

You couldn't help but snort in disbelief as you rolled your eyes, pushing yourself away from Taehyung's helpful grasp while letting out a frustrated yet disheartened reply— heart clenching sadly as this felt like yet another harsh punch to the gut, serving as a painful reminder of how shitty life as a Mono truly was.

Jungkook: Honestly fuck off Kim, I never asked for you to do me a stupid favor in the first place

The older tried to grab onto your arm once again so that you would lessen the weight put onto your ankle, but you swiftly slapped his hand away as you gritted your teeth in frustration; taking a deep breath in and out before limping one step closer to him, possibly stepping a bit too close for comfort but you were committed to your actions
