THE WIZARD [vkook]

60: imagination

During their walk Jungkook had to make a quick stop at a store, and the other could not come with. So Taehyung waited outside of the store patiently. Pacing in circles a few times and tapping the tip of his shoes against a lantern pole. In short, things you do when you're bored while waiting.

He wondered what he could be getting there. And why does he need it right now? He could have gotten in tomorrow at an earlier time instead of two minutes before closing time.

Either way, Taehyung had to wait outside.

He sighed and stopped pacing. Staring ahead into the busy street, people are all done with work going home to eat. They were one of them themselves.

His eyes looked at no one in particular there was too much to see, an old lady, parents, children shop owners a-.....Wait.... He looked back where he saw the children walk. Someone stood still in the back. His eyes were staring at him intensely. A strangely deformed skin on the side of his face.

"ah!" he gasped and stepped back alarmed. In shock he tried to flee and get to  the wizard for safety, but when he turned around he bumped into a hard chest. One that surprisingly wobbled out of balance from the impact too.

"woah there, why the rush?" Jungkook asked after regaining his balance. He extended his hand to the human who had fallen on his ass.
Taehyung shook his head but when he looked up he yelped and swatted the hand away. It was the same face he saw just now.

"h-hey, it's me, Jungkook '' Jungkook said his face showed a little hurt from the swat.

"Jungkook......" Taehyung let out a deep breath and got up. "I'm sorry.."

"What is wrong? Did something happen? Anyone bothered you?"

"no no" Taehyung quickly replied and glanced back at the spot where the children were still standing and chatting "i just... Thought i saw something..."

Jungkook looked at wherever Taehyung was looking for a moment. "You barely slept last night, I noticed. Lets get to bed early tonight, ill cuddle you"

"I think I need that.. Thanks" The human smiled and walked closer to Jungkook.

Back at the Park house Jungkook had taken his medicine and Dr.Park examined his recovery like he does every few days. After all that they had gone to the living room.

"in all the years I've been your friend. This what happened recently got to be the most unexpected and unbelievable thing ever. I always thought you were a mysterious type but damn, this goes beyond'' Jimin said with a chuckle, all while his eyes were looking at the knife in his hand that he used to peel the potatoes. He was preparing them for dinner.

"i did not plan that to happen.. So i'm glad things turned out well in the end." Jungkook replied.

"so, putting that aside, I kinda talked about it enough.... Uhm so how are you two? What will you do after he is recovered?" Jimin asked the question in general to both of them but it was actually more of a question towards Taehyung. The one who he was a little worried might want to go back to his own world.

"I would love to stay with Jungkook. That's what we had planned."

"that is what is planned, don't doubt that. I love you and you will come live with me and Zuzu."

"yes but....I don't actually belong here. How can I live here my life, i also have a family back home..."

"look, I can not keep you away from your family but you have family here too. You have a home here, you can live here and visit your other world. But don't think you won't fit in, you have shown you are capable of getting around and adapt to these lands, you are one of us. This world welcomes you" The raven said. And he meant it. It's true that he can't force the other to leave his family, but he doesn't have to. As long as possible they can still travel between the two lands. It's just like moving to a different kingdom. That's the best solution for it. If Taehyung still likes the idea of it.
