It Went Like This

Chapter :4

°Jungkook's Pov°

I took a deep breath, then started to go under the water while wearing a white loincloth and placing a towel next to the stone. When I finally arrived at the center of the pond, I was submerged up to my neck.

 I laid onto my back, closed my eyes, and allowed myself to drift off. It was very serene. The scenery, the river, the sound of the birds, and perhaps the presence of a person.

 I arched my head slightly to take in the certain male sitting so close yet so far away. All I saw was his arm jutting out. Disappointment hit me when I saw he was sitting there not reciprocating the urge to see me like I did. 

But that's inappropriate.  

I am the prince; I cannot have a soft spot for anyone, and it is completely inappropriate for me to act this way with a boy I have just met.

I want someone to support me; when I fail, tell me "I believe in you" or simply pat my head at the end of the day.

I wonder sometimes, How would it feel to be embraced by someone after a long, weary day, with no words said and only body warmth shared?

How would it feel to have someone hold my hand so that I don't hurt myself by digging nails into my palm?

But it's all erroneous because it will never happen in my life, therefore I won't traumatize myself in this emotional turmoil.

I took a deep breath and submerged myself in water to help me relax and stop the whirling thoughts in my head.

After a while, I went outside, glanced at the man behind the tree, and put on some clothing that he had offered. The fabric was a traditional Hanbok with sparse needlework of flowers and leaves.

To my surprise, this hanbok covered my body perfectly, as if it were made for me by measuring each length of mine. The fabric felt soft underneath my palm, not like heavy silk royal clothes. I kept all the wet clothes behind the stone to dry.

It made my skin feel lighter and breathe.

Then my feet began walking by choosing it's destiny itself, stopping right under the tree where his arms were poking and moving in a motion.

He must be so involved in whatever he was doing because he didn't even notice I plopped myself down on the ground and leaned my back on the tree.

I hear a small humming sound, which was almost impossible to hear if not given full attention.

"What is he doing that makes him so happy? First didn't even notice me, now he is humming." My brain prompted a query, which I ignored and closed my eyes, leaning more in the tree while sitting down on the ground moving myself to a land of dreams where his deep soothing voice served as a lullaby, relaxing every muscle and fiber of my body. 

In Jungguk's Dream

He was sleeping in a tranquil environment that didn't differ much from reality. Jungguk climbed to his feet and examined his surroundings. While admiring nature's beauty, he failed to notice the presence of a cliff and fell from great heights. He expected tremendous pain but didn't feel anything; instead, he found himself dangling in the air.
He slowly opened his eyes and realized he was flying and flapping his wings. He spread his wings and took to the air. Well, it is a dream, therefore it is possible.

The child who had long harbored fantasies about numerous things but never spoke about them because he lacked frankness or someone to confide in was now living out his dream.

 But the weird thing was there was no trace of any human being in their.  So flying across the forest he searched for anyone. But found none. Finally he saw a hut which also looked similar to his reality but the difference was that now that hut was not same it looked beautiful and small cottage like, and oh even garden was there with big fruits and vegetables in the soil.

One man was working in a field sowing some grains maybe. Jungguk couldn't differentiate much from this far. 

Wait he has seen that man's face somewhere. Those tanned skin, sharp nose, those lips and smooth bouncy hair where he wanna stroke his finger. That man also have a big muscles and body that didn't looked trained but achieved from working hard.  

Two children ran towards him and hugged that man's each leg. That man also gave his magnificent smile and carry both of them them his shoulder and spin them. Children were shouting by throwing their head back and gripping that man's hair so tightly even that man was screaming in pain. Though Jungguk couldn't distinguish much he could hear the laughter. They look so happy.

Now he saw another figure moving towards them laughing looking at the male and children carrying a basket. That figure looked more familiar to him. It's like he had known that person personally. Now, slowly he began flying towards the family closely observing the facial features.

Those eyes, lips, skin body and sound that sound....Suddenly that person looked directly in his eyes causing him to gasp. 

"AAAAAAAAAAA"
