Jungkook, the son of a renowned archaeologist, chose to embark on an adventurous journey to Russia. Since learning about the lost Korean princess in Russia, he dedicated his life to researching her story.
Upon completing his studies, he conducted a...
"Puzzle? Dragons? I don't understand a thing you are saying... I'm here to ask about the wings that Taehyung grew when he fell from the tree years ago... I guess you knew about it," Ji Min inquired.
"White Wings, just the pure angel Taehyung grew, or about the dark wings that you grew which saved both of you?" the bear asked, with a smirking action.
"I don't know what happened that day... but...." Ji Min began, realizing that he had seen two different sets of wings around them, yet he didn't know it was his wings that had protected them.
"You saved him that day... but I don't get one thing... I get a strong aura from you... a dragon aura, but your wings are so fragile, and they were broken that day... still, you were conscious that day, and the strong-winged Tae who emerged with wings several times later went unconscious each time... You are a miracle" The bear's puzzlement mirrored Ji Min's own confusion.
"Did Tae really grow wings? It happened only once.... so I thought.. Dragons??? " Ji Min asked confused.
"Well, he occasionally grows wings in his sleep. I can sense the invisible scars on his back, but they aren't clear with you. Also, I sense the presence of a dragon around you... Do you have a connection to a dragon? Because I feel a strong dragon aura from you...," the bear inquired.
Ji Min was getting increasingly confused and asked, "What's all this talk about dragons and wings? Can you please explain what's going on?" The bear then proceeded to provide a simpler explanation, revealing the mysteries surrounding Tae and Ji Min.
. . .
" A long time ago, during the Ice Age, regular humans lived alongside Drago men and Winged women. Drago men were strong, and Winged women were both beautiful and smart. However, a wise creature with strong magical powers ruled over all three species, I'm the descendant of the creature with 1/3 of his magical powers.
Drago men means a dragon and Winged women means a bird, they had a special bond, the bond is stronger than their connection with humans. They believed that only a bird could control and rule their dragons, and this bond gave them incredible power.
Initially, they were born as regular human babies, but after bonding, a dragon gained immense strength, and the bird got to control their wings for flying. They are stronger those days who could take over the world with their power.."
The bear continued to lead Ji Min deeper into the cave, and though Ji Min was initially hesitant to leave Tae alone, the bear assured him of his safety. As they walked, Ji Min couldn't help but voice his doubts.
"If they are that powerful, why are they extinct? Shouldn't they be the ones ruling the world by now?" Ji Min questioned, seeking answers to the mysteries surrounding the extinct Drago men and Winged women.
The bear replied, "Yes, you are right. Chaos indeed broke out, and the magical creatures sided with humans. Everything was peaceful until one day when chaos erupted among them and the humans. The Drago men's overwhelming power caused this chaos, breaking their agreement. So they thought..."
"To protect humanity," the bear continued, "the powerful man had to wipe out the entire dragon species, sparing only a few unborn Draco children out of pity. Instead of killing them, he suppressed their dragon side in their genes, letting them live as ordinary humans among others."
"The Winged women, connected to the Drago men, also had to hide their powers and live like regular humans. Some still had feathers, but they couldn't fly without bonding with a Drago man. Over time, they forgot their history and even considered their wings a curse."
"Many centuries passed," the bear concluded, "and both species began to live as normal humans. They forgot their native bonding rituals, thinking of themselves as regular people."
"So... we are birds? Me and Tae? Is that why eagles and owls listen to me?" Ji Min asked, trying to make sense of their unusual connection to certain birds.
The bear continued to clarify, "No, you are not a bird. You are stronger than a bird but weaker for a bird to keep your wings intact. Birds don't have such powers. Your power underwater is impeccable. Eagles and owls are not with you as friend....they are attracted to you.. rather like how reptiles are with you.
You must be a water dragon. That's the only possible theory. That's why you have a strong connection to snakes and other reptiles, which is why the birds don't listen to Tae but only to you... and if I'm not wrong... you are attracted to Tae... because you are dragon and he is a wing"
"Yes! That's why I'm here... I don't want to hurt Tae... but sometimes he turns me on really bad... it's like I was sent into heat... it's getting harder day by day... I don't want to do this to Tae... Tae is in love with Jeon... I dont want to go between them" Ji Min confessed, his worry evident.
"Taehyung is in love with a Dragon... and you are in love with a human, to be precise, he is a navigator and not a king... am I right?? " Bear added.
Ji min nodded knowingly and said, "Yes, you seem to know everything... but these are grave secrets... please..." Ji min pleaded and Bear nodded in agreement.
"We creatures are done being sided with humans, this time I want to be with birds and dragons... once is enough for us... we learned and evolved from our mistakes... it should have been the humans who were meant to be punished, not the dragons... we did wrong once... so don't worry... I stand with you, unlike my ancestors..." the bear reassured Ji Min, showing support for their unique circumstances.

The bear huffed, and a gust of wind blew away the dust on the nearby wall, revealing ancient rock carvings. Then he continued, "Look at the carvings. It was a time when three intelligent and strong species lived together. But the cunning human species won, eradicating the powerful, pure creatures like dragons and wings.
If I could change this history, I would, but I'm not powerful enough to do that. However, this time, I think you can help. I have never seen a dragon-bird couple come together to my cave before... not in many centuries.... also you ate a dragon-wing , a miracle, I will help you as much as I can."
Ji Min studied the carvings, realizing the gravity of their situation and the bear continued...
"You are a miracle, Ji Min... you are a powerful water dragon with soft wings... and you are a Queen, which makes you a powerful human being. You are a miracle, and that's going to bring miraculous changes to this world," the bear declared with conviction.
Ji Min, however, looked puzzled. "That's the problem... we are not a couple and I'm a disgrace to love my friend. I don't understand this dragon and wings thing, and I don't want to either. All I want is to let go of my Tae. I don't want to ruin his life. I'm already a physically impure Queen who loves a man and married another man. At least, I want to be with Yoongi wholeheartedly..."
"Do you want to let go of Tae...? Then activate your wing side... as of now, you are a strong water dragon, which is why you are attracted to Tae. Mate with Jeon, he is stronger than you... he is a fire dragon... that way, you can become a strong wing and give birth to a dragon... if your wing side activated, you wont get attracted to another wing" the bear suggested.
Ji Min's response was immediate and intense. "I will kill myself if I have to do that... Jeon is like my brother... besides, I can not do that to Tae..."
The bear chuckled and replied, "Dragons cannot easily die... if that were possible, Jeon would have died three times already. "
