[AUTHOR'S POV]

Jimin sat on the branch of an oak tree, his legs crossed against each other. Setting his eyes on a beautiful butterfly resting close to him, he smiled at that amazing creature whom he called his friend.

The moon is exceptionally round and beautiful tonight. The light it gives off gives a magical glow to the forest, his home.

"I wonder what will I discover tomorrow," he mutter to himself before he is startled by the sound of rustling leaves and broken twigs. He immediately jumped off of the tree branches to the ones closer to the ground. He wanted to know what was it that was rolling down the slope. It seems giant.

"Chimchim! What are you doing?!" another little man hushed after Jimin.

"I have to see what is that, Leo~" Jimin uttered to his companion, Leo.

"Just..be careful~ We don't know what we are dealing with!" Leo adviced, slightly worried for his buddy.

Jimin crept and stuck his tiny figure close to the tree. He could make out that the creature had long black hair. Its skin is milky white and it appears to wear some sort of man-made clothing.

"Leo, is that a human?" Jimin finally whispered after a few moments.

"I believe so. But what is a human doing? In this part of the forest?" Leo start to ponder, thinking about how to get rid of her. Leo is afraid of anything foreign.

Unlike Jimin. "It's a she.." he muttered under his breath.

Jimin has never seen a human before. He has only known that they look like him, except a hundred times bigger. Intrigued, Jimin set his foot onto the purple flowers. He slowly tiptoed to get closer and closer to this human.

"Jimin!" Leo hushed loudly after Jimin. Jimin merely raised his hand at Leo, telling him to keep quiet and not to worry. Leo huffed. Feeling defeated, went back to their little home carved in the tree trunk.

He sees how the dark hairs hangs down loosely from her head. She looks so pretty under this moonlight. He sees her eyes closing as she leaned her head back against the tree.

Her long eyelashes are curled in such a beautiful way. Her lips formed a thin line as she smiled and she took in a deep breath.

Jimin felt butterflies in his stomach. He wants to get to know her. Most importantly, he wants her to know about him.

And so, he sat amongst the purple flower petals, gazing at her pretty yet forlorn face... staring at her as she drifts off into sleep and he does too.

[HER POV]

"Wha...what are you??" I asked stunned as I fell on my back.

The little guy, who introduced himself as Jimin merely tilted his head to one side before he jumped from one flower to the next and landed on my hand.

"I told you my name, what's yours?" he asked.

"Summers. Chloe Summers." I answered, trying to stop myself from stuttering.

"Chloe.... That's is a nice name.." he smiled before he continued, "Hmm.... I don't really know how to say this but.... you could say we are the fallen race of Athos," Jimin answered me as he stretched.

"Athos? Isn't that a myth? And aren't they giants?" I asked, confused.

"I don't know, you tell me~" Jimin shrugged. "I've lived in this part of the forest for 18 years of my life!"

"You are 18?!" I shouted, shocked that such a tiny boy is apparently the same age as me.

He shushed me. "You are going to scare all the creatures in this forest with your scream!" He rests his hands on his hips.
