Sweet Catastrophe

Chapter 4

"No, it's okay. I think I'll stand. I don't want the dress to get dirty."

".... You really have changed, ______." V pouted as he took a seat on the stool instead. "About my body, there was a prince who could see me just like you. I was surprised at first. He's not that much older than you. He helped me find this Garden where the Sleeping Wizard lives."

You blinked in confusion. You never heard of a Sleeping Wizard before. "Is he a spirit too?"
He shook his head. "No. He's actually friends with the Prince. He helped me turn human but only when there's a fireplace lit. I thought if I were human than I could be with you more... But as you can see, that's not exactly how it works."

"What's the name of the Prince? We can all have tea together and catch up!"

Right when you said that, the door opened to reveal the red headed Prince. A look of surprise was set on the both of you. Your first instinct was to hide V, but you knew it was useless.

Jimin looked at the human spirit. "Taehyung, I didn't expect you to reveal yourself."

"Taehyung?" You looked to V who stood up with a smile.

"Prince, she's the girl I told you about! That's why she was able to summon me."

Jimin's eyes opened up impressed with your talent. He didn't expect you to be able to see spirits. "Well this is a fortunate turn of events." He walked over towards you with an innocent smile. "I actually met Princess ________ today. I can see why you like her, Taehyung. She's certainly fascinating."

A light blush hit your cheek. Park Jimin sure knew how to compliment someone. It was almost surreal with the attention you were getting. The Prince seemed to use that to his advantage.

"Princess", Jimin gently grabbed one of your hands. "How about I invite you to supper tomorrow afternoon?"

You looked to V who still kept a bright glow. "Will V be there?"

"V?" Jimin looked to the tangible spirit. "Oh, that's what you call him." He gave a light chuckle. "When I met him he did say his name was V. I was wondering where the name came from."

You pulled away from his grasp. "Yeah, I gave him that name."

"Interesting choice of names. I thought Taehyung would be more appropriate given that it sounds more... human." There was a slight silence but Jimin picked himself back up. "Anyways Princess, spend the afternoon with me tomorrow. Tae-- uhh I mean V, can attend if he desires. Seeing how we both have the same ability, I think we'll get along just fine."

"We'll see, Prince Park Jimin." You sarcastically smiled as you left the hidden room.

Walking back towards the party, you found yourself lost in the labyrinth again unable to find your way back to the party. About thirty minutes passed when you were about to give up. You had forgot to bring your cellphone because you were rushing to leave, so calling was not an option.

Just then--

"________!" A familiar voice called.

Recognizing the voice of Jungkook, you called back. "I'm here!"

Soon, Jungkook came running towards you relieved to see you were there. On impulse he wrapped you into his strong embrace. Ironically, your body gave into his warmth.

"______ where were you?! The ceremony finished three hours ago!"

"But I was just in there for only a few..." your voice trailed off as you realized the road behind you was nonexistent. Thick plants and bushes had blocked the path.
Jungkook shook his head before roughly grabbing your wrist. While he pulled you, you felt circulation cutting off from it. It hurt, and his behavior pissed you off.
