"What do you want?" Eui immediately asked.

Iseul yanked on her arm. "Eui, this is dangerous! He knows what Jimin is! And if he's really the sea warlock or whatever, then he could potentially kill us!"

"I don't care!" she retorted. "What do you want?"

Jungkook smiled. "Your voice. I want your voice in exchange for Jimin's voice."

"I'll do it," Eui declared.

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "That was much easier than I thought it would be. Okay, then I'll need your signature as proof."

Jungkook raised his hand moved it a swirl. He conjured up a scroll and a pen. Eui grabbed the pen, ignoring Iseul's protests. She hurriedly signed the piece of paper.

Jungkook smiled at her. "Is there anything you'd like to say before I take your voice?"

Eui looked at Iseul. "Thank you for being my friend, Iseul. I'm really glad and fortunate to have you in my life."

Iseul smiled back. "I'll miss your annoying voice. You won't be able to use your wise words against me anymore."

"Are you ready, Eui?" Jungkook asked.

She nodded. "I'm ready," she whispered.

Jungkook snapped his fingers, and a green wisp flowed out from Eui's throat, floating towards Jungkook. He conjured up a jar and trapped the wisp inside.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you, Eui. Jimin should have his voice back by the time you get back home. All he needs to do to have legs is get out of the water. If you ever need anything else, then you know where to find me." Then, he disappeared.

"Eui? Are you okay?" Iseul asked.

Eui opened her mouth to test out her voiceless voice. No words came out, so she nodded instead.

Iseul sighed sadly. "I hope you're happy with what you've just lost."
