continuing from the last chapter,

"I shall serve you from this moment forth. It was grandpa's dying wish."
the little matured boy informed Jimin.

"I was blinded by revenge... and did not ask how you were doing."

"Will you still... do as you say?"
Tears filled Jimin's eyes as he felt remorseful.

The small little grandchild then nodded his head.
-
A boat was seen, floating on the water. Lightning striked, followed by the thunder. The boat was not very small, it wasn't very big as well. It was just.. right.

The boat had a flag on it, not a country flag. But somehow, a plain white sheet.
The number of people boarding the boat was not appropriate, looking at the size of the boat.

The small little grandchild was holding onto the barrier, admiring the view of the sea and the sky, although it was dark and scary. Jimin was sitting beside the small little grandchild, having his hood cover his face. Nothing could be seen in that dark atmosphere, nothing but the people in the boat.

The eyes of the small little grandchild darted from the sky to Jimin. The grandchild then realised that he was supposed to be serving Jimin, not admiring the scenery.

"I am thoughtless, i like seeing such a scenery." He apologized. Jimin smiled,
"I like that you like seeing this scenery thoughtlessly." They both then smiled at each other.

The eyes of the little grandchild then moved upwards, he then saw two grown men deliciously feasting on a drumsticks.
The little grandchild started to drool, he then licked his lips, reminded of how hungry he was.

Looking at his behaviour, Jimin looked around to find everyone on the boat deliciously feeding on different kind of food, although they seemed very poor.

Jimin then reached out to the little grandchild with something in his hands. Seeing how hungry the little grandchild was, Jimin decided to offer the poor boy his food. The little grandchild then happily marched towards Jimin and reached his hands out to receive the food that he was offered.

Just as he was about to grab the ball of cooked rice from Jimin's hands, his hands backed away. Jimin's smile then dropped. "I am still full, so you eat it, Sir." Jimin's jaw dropped, seeing how mature someone so young can be. "How are you fool when you have not eaten anything?"

"I am small, so i get full after eating a little." The small child then continued, "You are big, so you should eat."

"Then let's do this." Jimin said as he split the ball of rice in half. "We have a long way to go after we reach land. If we share, neither of us will be full." The little boy stated.

Jimin then sighed, "So you will starve?"
"If i get hungry, i can work on the ship and ask for some food." the little boy said .

"Do you think i brought you to make you bed for food? Trust me. I may be much greater than you think."

Jimin tried to assure the small little starving boy. "Go on." Jimin reached out his hands with the ball of rice split in half on top of it. The little boy could no longer resist, he reached out to Jimin's hands and quickly took a big bite. He then started munching on the ball of rice.

Jimin smiled with satisfaction. Jimin then brought his hands up and played with his fingers, the green glitters then appeared and flew around. The little boy that was feasting on the ball of rice widened his eyes. The green glitters ... turned out to be fireflies!
