FAREWELL, LITTLE RAVEN

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX.

The atmosphere in their once warm and charming home took a complete turn for the worst. Jisoo couldn't believe Taehyung had walked out on her last night and his actions that followed after he came home hours later until dusk became dawn only added to the turmoil of negative emotions that grew in Jisoo's chest the whole night. She was furious, hurt, reluctant, guilty, and confused all at the same time.

Taehyung had not slept in their bed, he laid on the coach for a good six hours and then went off again to Merlin-knows-where. Jisoo had stayed in the room the whole time, torturing herself by reminiscing every word and detail about their conversation last night. How shocked she was at his reaction, how loud he raised his voice, how the both of them lost the chance to swerve the conversation to another direction so that it wouldn't end up as badly as it did now.

They were both overcome by strong emotions that got the best of them, so Jisoo thinks a day or two of giving each other space would eventually smooth things over later on.

Hopefully, she's right and her little trip to the Ministry to see Bona would be worth it.

It had been her first time stepping inside the Ministry and she held back a little gasp when she saw the interior: silver lined walls, black marble tiles, and eternal emerald flames that burned brightly despite the sun's rays peeking through the see-through ceiling encased with diamond glass. It was like a modern castle on the inside, and she couldn't stop gawking at the sophisticated and regal architecture that made her feel the essence of what magic was in the wizarding world.

"Jisoo!" She hears Bona's voice before she sees her. When she turns around to the direction of where the voice had came from, Bona flashed her the brightest smile.

Jisoo suppressed a giggle. Did her best friend miss her that much in the past two days since they last saw each other?

Hugging tightly, Bona had let go first and the bright expression on her face is weirdly comical. "Are you finally applying to be an Auror?"

Taken aback, Jisoo shook her head. So that's why she was so excited to see me. She gives Bona a pointed look. "No, absolutely not. I just wanted to see you. Are you busy?"

Bona doesn't seem disheartened at Jisoo's quick denial of her proposal. She continued to smile and said, "Not at all. You came at a good time actually, there are some seniors in the office whom I know would love to see you after so long! Come, let's go and say hi."

"Bona, I -" but the other girl was already dragging her forward, keeping a strong grip on her wrist so she would not shake her off so easily. Jisoo sighs in defeat and lets her friend drag her along the winding corridors, passing by department after department, and office after office. The thought of her and Taehyung's fight slowly buries itself into the folds of her mind as she immerses herself in this new and riveting environment.
