The Tale of Persephone | JJK [HIATUS]

🌸 Chapter 1 - Exhibit of the Gods 🌸

🌸🌸🌸

Dusk was nearing, at this point of the day. The people on the sidewalk passing him were in as much of a rush to get home as they had been that morning to get to work.

In an attempt to keep himself away from prying eyes, Jungkook brought shadows and haze upon his body, so people wouldn't see him.

"Are you not going home, my Lord?"

The small faery moved beside his ear, the sound a wispy chime coming from her silver wings. The little faery sat on his shoulder and adjusted her tiny dress before she looked at the face of the man she was sitting on.

"I don't feel like it yet. Let's take a walk, Lalla, how about that?"

"Wouldn't your father be concerned? Or, perhaps, be angry that you do not return immediately?" Lalla asked, frowning and narrowing her black eyes to him.

"Well, I'd tell him to go to Hell... but he's there already, isn't it?"

Lalla pressed her tiny lips and shook her head in disbelief.

"You shouldn't speak in such a manner about the Lord of the Underworld, young prince. He would be very disappointed in you."

Jungkook grinned. True...

"What he doesn't know doesn't hurt him, don't you think?"

Lalla shook her head again, sighing. The faery had been with Jungkook for all his life. In truth, he didn't even know how old she was. The small creature was probably older than he could imagine, but he sure wasn't asking her anything. Lalla would be offended and then not talk to him for the next eons.

"I reckon we haven't been out like this in a long while, have we?"

To her question, Jungkook grinned a little.

"That 's true. Wanna go somewhere? We haven't been to Korea in a while. And there's a lot of museums still open at this time."

Lalla perked up. For some odd reason, Lalla had a specific love for museums. And while Jungkook would take her on a couple, once in a while, he sometimes was too busy to answer her request. Not like she complained... the faery didn't. But he liked seeing how relaxed and happy she was when looking at the paintings and sculptures.

"Oh!! I heard from the Muse that sang to your father last week that a gallery had an exhibit with the theme of mythology! Wanna go see?"

Jungkook chuckled at her enthusiasm, nodding "Lead the way, Lalla."

The little faery giggled and leapt off his shoulder to fly off in front of him, leading Jungkook through the city. It took a while, crossing streets and dodging people as he went along.

They were just reaching downtown when Lalla slowed down and then came back to her place on his shoulder.

"There, my Lord! Do you see the banner? Greek mythology!"

Jungkook glanced at where Lalla was pointing at. His eyes fell on the entrance of a modern building, the windows dark and wide and the door open. The evening light was starting to taint the usually white walls with an orangey tone. And the banner Lalla referred to was right there, large and as tall as two stories. The face of a sculpture was there, in a marble tone, with elegant letters reading "Olympus". He raised an eyebrow at the name of the gallery. 'Primadonna Gallery'.

"If I have to put up with too many godly, tiny wieners, we're leaving." Jungkook joked, moving to direct himself to the building.

"Well, I say the same about Goddess titties." Lalla said, giggling lightly.
