THE WIZARD [vkook]

16: a refreshing dive

The two were enjoying their delicious meals from the streets of Hydorin. The freshest fish tasted better than anything Taehyung had had before. He was having the time of his life, he was seeing and experiencing amazing things and on top of that with a literal, out of this world, guide.

"Jungkook, i've been thinking"

"oh, about what?" Jungkook asked and wiped his mouth with the tissue.

"since there is a word kind of parallel to this one... Does that mean that the kingdoms are also the same?"

"that is not quite the case. People are doubled, but the land is not one on one the same. We have our own lands, names and creatures. See it as an alternative world you can visit."

"but... How can we just travel there and here? That shouldn't be possible right? I don't think it is right to mix like we are about to do."

"Well, it's possible to travel through the break in the world. But it's not like anyone can just walk through. Only those who have the ability to go there. Like, authorized people that are granted a certain item that allows the break to open for them. Here, like this one '' Jungkook said and opened his coat. On the inside hung a blue stone pendant in the shape of a droplet, it was being held in place with silver swirls and a chain that attached to his jacket. "this allows me to travel through different worlds.

"That's cool, but... How will I enter?"

"don't worry about that. I have my ways, I'm no ordinary wizard. I have many tricks up my sleeve to even trick the universe.

"i look forward to seeing that" taehyung chuckled and stared at jungkook, he just.... there was something about him, it felt like.. he should not leave his side, taehyung can't explain why he felt like this, and why it was so strong yet so... faint?

"Is something wrong?" jungkook asked seeing taehyung look at him with a puzzled expression

"no, nothing, sorry" taehyung stood up and threw away their trash. he turned to Jungkook and smiled. "Shall we continue? i'm sure there is much more to see!"

"Of course, anything you want" Jungkook said, before he knew it the words had already left his lips and Taehyung felt a blush creeping up his cheeks. with that reaction, the wizard did not regret saying it.

It was already past sunset when Jungkook had completely given Taehyung a tour around the city. Which was surprisingly big. From afar it looked small, but between these walls there was so much to see and to experience. Small roads and streets the more you went into the center of the city the more compact it became. Yet it did not feel tiny and tight, the light colors and big open windows gave quite the spacious feel. Lots of green to color your view into the streets.

A beautiful place, Taehyung could see himself live in a place like this. People here looked more happy, more free than at his own. His parents had a different view on culture. They didnt like change. Taehyung was always ordered to follow his parent's vision. But right now, he was growing more and more into his own self. A self that wants to change. That wants to become better for the future generation in his kingdom. If he really hase to become king. Then he wants to do it his own way.

A way for the people.

Unknowingly, that was exactly what Jungkook always wanted and tried to do. But in the end he always failed.

"so.. When will we go to your world?"

"once i know that they will not see me enter. Its best if we keep the element of surprise." Jungkook said. "paid collectors will not stop until i am either dead or caught. No matter what i say or bring them. They follow instructions and instructions only. And I don't want to bring you into danger, so we will stay here until I am sure that we are not being watched or followed." Jungkook smiled. "and besides, we are meeting someone here"
