First life

Jungkook looked happily at the flame that was burning in front of him, placed on the high  Golden pedestal. His pure orbs reflected its light as he continued his prayers inside his mind.

He was a child of the sun. One of the most respected Gods of his race. Since the day he was born, his life was dedicated to serving the beloved and well-respected God whom humans looked up to and admired, gifting them their prayers and devotion.

In the small town where he was living, he was the only one left in his temple, as the once famous and preferred town had started being abandoned by its citizens.

His world might have become small, but he didn't mind, cause these days he had found himself being happier than ever before and all because of a certain human that he had seen some years ago.

The daughter of the fisherman had passed by the garden of the temple that afternoon, a thing that she wasn't supposed to be doing, as not everyone was allowed to step in that place.

That place was only for Jungkook. Its gates opened only to him and no one else, no matter how good their hearts may have been. However, to his surprise, it had opened to her and that itself was a message he couldn't deny.

It seemed that that girl was important, however, even after asking around about her, the only information that he got was that she was a traveller, and together with her father that was a fisherman, they would travel from sea to sea.

Assuming that she was gone, his eyes at that moment had reflected a sadness that he couldn't justify however after so many years that he had been waiting to see her again, this week he had heard that the fisherman would be coming back in town.

The anticipation in his heart was vast, his eyes unintentionally searching for her figure in that garden full of greenery and colourful flowers as it was now the season of spring.

After finishing his prayer he headed outside. His steps were the only sound that could be heard around the temple as he was the only one living there.

He used to sing sweet melodies whenever he felt the silence around him getting heavy, soft little prayers becoming his lyrics. This time as well he did so, his velvety voice echoing around him, till he reached the garden and his breath was caught in his throat.

The girl he had been waiting for was there. Sitting on the grass with some flowers on her lap, her fingers knitting something with them while a smile was dancing on her lips.

Jungkook couldn't help but smile, the brightest smile that he had ever worn on his holy face as his looks were truly angelic. Dressed in all white with black shaded features that complement his sun-kissed skin. His eyes were always full of light and life, decent for someone that had dedicated his life to the God of the sun.

He approached her without any fear nor any bad intentions and to his surprise, she wasn't scared or bothered by him either, enabling them to have a good conversation that day and to meet many... many more days after.

Jungkook's life had never felt more complete, but his life was supposed to be dedicated to only one thing. And that wasn't her.

One fateful afternoon, he had stayed with her as always, till the sun would set, talking about the world, the stars, and exchanging knowledge in general but this night was not like the others as she yesterday had told him, that in two days time, she would depart with her father again, leaving.
