"Concustodio!"
She was thrown away by a stronger force. An invisible one. Maya rushed towards her man. Who lied there, motionless. Tears in her eyes, voice hoarse. She screamed again,
"Leva eam!"
Her body couldn't resist Maya's power. Her slender figure soared through the air as she yelled,
"You broke the rules!"
"You did first."
"No I didn't."
"Then how do you wxplain the shards of glass sticking on your sole? Huh? It was supposed to be a fight of only strengths and no other substances. But you clearly broke the rules when you dragged in glass shards."
Jungkook's unconscious head laid on Maya's lap. She sobbed seeing her lover in such a state. The girl in mid air gulped down the dishonour of losing to an inexperienced fighter, that too becaus eof her own mistake. Her voice shakey,
"You won..."
She closed her eyes, her voice shakey,
"Mistress of Cards, Spirits and Strength."
"Pileus."
Her voice shakey. Eyes filled with tears. Maya was such a disaster.
She fell on the ground, on her feet. She qalked towards the distressed couple,
"Let me help you."
Maya rubbed her eyes, nodding. She smiled,
"Use your magic, Madame."
"I-I don't know the sp-spell."
Her eyes scanned Maya. How helpless her mistress looks. Her eyes quickly fell on Jungkook. How wounded he was. Her voice raspy,
"Wish I had the powers I did even an hour ago. But you have both my powers and Rosemertha's now. Just carress his wounds softly and whisper, 'consano'.  I'll just fetch some necessary liquids."
Maya nodded. She noticed how flustered and scared Maya was. She smiled, caressing Maya's cheeks,
"Everything's going to be okay. It's on you. Don't mess up."
She walked away. Maybe Jungkook wouldn't like a complete stranger around while his body on full display.

It was just the two of them left. Maya's warm fingers slowly went to his buttons. She slowly threw the shirt away. Bruises all over his beautiful body. A tear ran down her gorgeous eyes. She whispered, running her fingers over the wounds, softly enough to not hurt him at all,
"Consano."
A silver thread shot out of her fingers. The thread thinner than a single strand of hair. It fluttered on the wounds. Small dust like substances took over Jungkook's bare body. His wounds soon disappeared into the thin air along with the threads.
She cleared her throat, getting Maya's attention. Slowly the gap between them lessened. Her long bony fingers scooped Maya's diamond tears, insatnly dropping them in a terribly small bottle filled with liquids.
Maya saw the transparent liquid change. It changed into a red liquid, with small sparkles twirling inside. She shook the bottle before handing it to Maya,
"Here Madame. Pour it over his wounds."
Maya smiled, taking the bottle. Her fingers slowly tilted the bottle as the red liquid ran over to Jungkook's bare chest. Slolwy flowing downwards to his abs and muscles. Maya scooped some in her fingers sprinkling them on Jungkook's beautifully crafted face. The wounds on his lips, cheekbones, brows and nose disappeared. Just leaving behind an unconscious soul, soaked in red liquid.
"He would soon wake up."
She smiled. Seeing the red string between them. Maya nodded, her eyes fixed on Jungkook.
"I just wish that he wakes up very soon... We need to get out of here..."
"Well don't Madame. You both need to be healthy before you meet up with the finale."
Maya hummed. Her heart aching. Did she really mess up? But even if she did, there's no time to regret. She needs to finish all these.
"Madame, I assume you're hungry."

"What's your name?"
She choked on simple rice. Maya's fixed on the rice, as Jungkook's widened. Maya pretended as if she couldn't care less but was asking just for small talk.
She quickly got a hold of herself, taking deep breaths. Her head hanging low,
"It's Kang Jae-Hwa, Madame."
Maya smiled,
"How old are you?"
"I was born in 1994, Madame."
"Then don't call me Madame, Unnie."
Jae-Hwa's eyes wandered towards the young lady, in front of her. She furrowed her brows,
"Unnie?"
"Unnie."
Maya chimed. Sitting straight. Jae-Hwa scanned Maya, then the vividly surprised Jungkook. That was her limit.
Her eyes formed into a crescent as her gums appeared when she smiled. She chuckled,
"You won in life Mr. She's a keeper."

"Angel?"
Maya threw herself in his arms. She curled up in his bare chest, sobbing. Jungkook took a second, his heart bleeding with her every tear. His hands quickly wrapped her smaller figurine. He couldn't help but break down. Sniffing in between, her warm scent hitting his nostrils. He peppered her ears, cheekbones and top of her head with small bitterfly kisses. She doesn't know why but she couldn't help but cry.
"Gguk, I was so scared. The way you were lying, wounded on the floor. It was killing me. I'm so sorrt that I dragged you in this shit. You don't even deserve these. I'm sorry. You deserve to be happy and all. The way Jae-Hwa Unnie and you fought... I'm sos sorry Love. I hate the way you got hurt for my mistakes."
Jungkook's fingers combed through Maya's hair. He tried to calm her down. But all she knew was how to cry. He kissed her forehead, humming,
"Nan sumswigo sipeo i bami silheo
Ijen kkaego sipeo kkumsogi silheo
Nae ane gathyeoseo nan jugeoisseo
Don't wanna be lonely
Just wanna be yours"

Maya rose her head, their eyes met. She sniffed a bit. Jungkook smiled, rubbing her tears away with his thumbs

"Wae iri kkamkkamhan geonji
Niga eopsneun i goseun
Wiheomhajanha manggajin nae moseup
Guhaejwo nal nado nal jabeul su eopseo
Su eopseo"

Jungkook sat down, guiding Maya on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her, pressing her head on his chest. Maya felt his cold chest and heart beat.

"Nae simjangsoril deureobwa
Jemeosdaero neol bureujanha
I kkaman eodum sogeseo
Neoneun ireohge biccnanikka
Geu soneul naemireojwo, save me, save me
I need your love before I fall (Fall), fall (Fall)
Geu soneul naemireojwo, save me, save me
I need your love before I fall, fall"

Jungkook tucked her messy hair behind her ears, pecking her fluttering eyelids. Her lips looked more tempting than ever.

"Geu soneul naemireojwo, save me, save me
(Oh-oh, ooh-woah) Save me, me—, me—
Geu soneul naemireojwo, save me, save me
(Oh-oh, ooh-woah) Save me, me—, me—
Save me, save me (Oh-oh)"

Maya cupped his face in her palm. Slowly lessening the gap between their two lips. As if it's their last.
