THE WIZARD [vkook]

21: a friend that was a home

"s-seokjin?" Jungkook turned around surprised.

"Hello Jungkook, it's been a while. '' The man named Seokjin said and crossed his arms with a smile. He was wearing a long blue coat and white coat with silver swirly details. azure colored gems were hanging at the edges and dangles around showing their shimmering glow. To Taehyung he looked like royalty with the expensive looking clothes.

"It hase, oh my, i can't believe i run into you here. Where have you been!?"

"I should ask you the same, you are the one that ran away"

"a-ah but. i-i came back. you were not home, "Jungkook said, defending himself. But he gave up when seokjin gave him a hug.

"i'm glad you are okay. but we should get inside. They have been looking around here not too long ago. its not safe" Seokjin said and then he noticed taehyung. "hello there, you must be Taehyung from another world"

"wait, how-"

"your eyes. I could tell immediately you are not from here. You do look like him. but... actually you do have some clear differences. I can tell with just a single glance at you" Seokjin smiled and extended his hand, "My name is Kim Seokjin. Merchant of the Azure isles, welcome to my homeland" His blue colored eyes were very inviting and friendly. It made Taehyung feel welcome to meet such a kind man first step in.

"Nice to meet you, I am Taehyung from the Yuhan Kingdom"

"You're royalty"

"well-"

"It's obvious, leaving out your family name doesn't cover enough of your true identity. but don't worry. I will not tell anyone, anything you two tell me is safe with me"

"You can trust him, Taehyung," Jungkook said, seeing the hesitation in the prince's eyes.

"Sooo, you two know each other right?'' Taehyung asked while they followed seokjin to his house.

"we do, I was the one that took Jungkook into their home and kept him safe out of other's their reach"

"really?"

"Jin" jungkook halted in his steps and glanced at the older

"a-ah, yes. He lived with me, he was looking for a place to stay. so I am always looking to help and let him live with me."

"And he ran away? why?"

"uh.... the war. look here we arrived. I will open the door" Seokjin walked forward and unlocked the door with a key. and so the doors to this tall white bricked house were opened, letting them all into its walls. "make yourself at home, i will get some tea we can catch up"

-

And so they ended up in the spacious living room filled with plants and flowers. Drinking from the finest tea in the city from a porcelain cup. Something Taehyung was very used to. but it still made him look around in awe. The style was so different from things in his own world. all the shapes were so industrial but the details so organic and swirly.

"So I understand that you are going to Ouvasta to free your name..." seokjin said and sipped his tea. "interesting"

"i want to find the real killer. they have to be out there somewhere. Taehyung can cause confusion that will buy me time to go search the land without getting caught"

"confusion you say?" Seokjin asked and frowned. "everyone can see he is not from here, His eyes break the act!"

Taehyung looked at the two, the conversation that started to calm and happy started to turn into an argument. He was starting to feel uncomfortable..
