I met Rita at 7am, and she sat me down with her on the sofa.

She placed her hand on mine and then closed her eyes.

Images of a good looking, dark haired man flicked in my mind.

"Okay, so first, we have Jung Kook..

Don't expect any small talk.. He's a mute..

He was one of 5 sons of a wealthy merchant in the West, and I smuggled him in here about 120 years ago

"120 years ago?!" I gasped and scrunched my face, trying to not envision Jung Kook as a wrinkly old man.

"Wardens retain their youth. You stop aging in your 20s, when you've reached full maturity.. I thought you knew that?" Rita looked back at me, confused with my little knowledge.

"The books I read on Wardens said that they had to get their youth replenished by witches or they would look like bags of skin.." I tell her with full seriousness, and she bursts out laughing at me.

"Oh.. You're not joking?

Anyway.. Jung Kook lived a sheltered life as part of a big family, not really required to talk, but instead he got used to watching.

Because of this, though, he has grown to be incredibly suspicious..

Of everyone.

If he looks at you like he is judging you

If he looks at you like he is judging you.. It's more than likely he is judging you.

He can read minds. Well, we think he can, anyway. He carries this uneasy energy around with him, so we know he's got some gifts.. But his full potential is unknown. Even after all this time, we still aren't sure what he is capable of.

He can express emotions like anyone else.. He just doesn't speak words.. It's weird, but you get used to it.

He hasn't really come across any other females, other than me, but I don't think I count

He hasn't really come across any other females, other than me, but I don't think I count. He keeps his distance from any that come and go, like he's scared of them, but I just think he is shy.

I think he will like you, though. He finds comfort in silence, so as long as you're not overly obnoxious around him, you will get on like a house on fire." Rita then opened her eyes and looked at me in horror as her words left her mouth.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry, Y/N." She gasped.

"It's fine. Don't worry." I smiled at her.

She then grimaced, and resumed her stance, closing her eyes again.

"You said you think he reads minds.. Why is it you think?" I quizzed her.

"Well, he doesn't hide it. Let's just say that..

We have tested it on a few occasions.. Leaving him a little red faced.

Also, he loves learning about things. Because he didn't really have a childhood, he is a bit of a big kid. Very curious about the world..

He might want to drag you on adventures with him

He might want to drag you on adventures with him. It's up to you if you want to, but they normally just involve looking at bugs and animals in the forests, and swimming in the lake. Pretty harmless stuff."

"Well, he is cute

"Well, he is cute. I wouldn't mind spending time with him.

The only men I have seen in my life have been my dad.. and the post man. Oh, and those two patrol officers.

I am a bit clueless when it comes to speaking to the opposite sex.. So a mute might be a good place to start." I giggle, and Rita just smiles at me.

"Yeah, I think he will like you."
