[How I picture our sweet Luna]


Luna arrived at the mansion and went straight to the patio, on the garden, where her plants were. Amelia had bloomed every single one of her herbs, flowers and greenery, and now the place smelled positively amazing.

Just like her little home in France did.

Something was making her distracted lately, her mind always wandering and shutting off. She knew what it was, Luna just tried to not talk about it too much. It was that or succumbing to the melancholy that threatened her chest at a constant.

She missed the times where her heart would run free, her soul barefoot and wild as she made her way through places. She missed the feeling of discovery... and it was dreadful that, even though Luna missed it with a passion, she still didn't want to leave. It would hurt if she did. Luna would miss him.

Perhaps Jin hadn't been right about her being good for Taehyung. Perhaps she should just leave at once and hope for the moment he wouldn't be in her mind every second that passed, eating away at her sanity.

His crying still haunted her during her sleep. The way he so quickly crumbled in front of her when Luna asked if his feelings towards Amelia were as she thought, his hands gripping her dress in an attempt to look for comfort. It made her feel... empty. She loved him, still, but Luna wasn't so sure she wanted the torture of having to look at him decay with time, glancing woefully at Amelia, silently wishing she was his instead of his brother's.

The house felt suffocating, these days. The air too thick for her, the presence of the seven brothers too intimidating and her own Coven too much. The only person she was now tolerating completely was Hoseok. Not that Luna ran away from the others. But, for some reason, his energy was soothing for her. Maybe because he was so oblivious of some things, when it came to magic and Alchemy.

She sighed, quietly arranging the small flower pot and cutting out the small, yellow leaves that hadn't grown properly.

"Luna?"

Speaking of the man himself, Hoseok called her from the door and slowly made his way towards her. His smile was kind as he sat down on the floor next to Luna.

"Jin said he wants to help with reconstructing the shop." Hoseok said, a little enthusiastic "Well... I may have persuaded him a little, saying it was too much work, but he'll help us!"

"You didn't have to, Hobi, I can pay for it- "

"Luna, by the time you're done with it you'll barely have enough to travel to the other side of the state. The whole main floor is burned, it'll need rebuilding."

Luna huffed, looking down at her plants.

"Stupid matchstick..." She grumbled, referring to Mina, who had been responsible for the explosion of the place, even though the redhead still blamed the explosive leaves "Fine, but I'll pay him back."
