Ji rae followed the path Jimin had instructed her to go on
She walked until she reached a sign pointing towards the left curve in the path,
She went down this road until she reached what looked like a dead end.
But she pushed out her hand, which went straight into the leaf covering and it gave way to quite a large clearing.
In the middle of the clearing was a long table covered in a pale pink table cloth.
On the table, various delicacies were spread out such as cakes, sweets, chocolate and other things. There was a large tea pot at one end with multiple cups.
It was quite messy.
Sitting at the end with the tea, were three peculiar men,
At one side was what looked like a small boy, he wore a royal blue waistcoat over white pants and a shirt.
A silver pocket watch was hanging out of one of his pockets and , amid clumsy sips of tea, he fervently kept checking the pocket as if in a hurry for an important event.
What intrigued her the most about him were the soft, white bunny ears that were on top of his fluffy brown hair.
On the other side of the table was another man, this time with red hair but he also had ears similiar to the first however his were longer and kept drooping down. He wore a simple blue shirt on top of black pants unlike the clothes that she had seen worn so far. He sat in front of a plate piled high with cakes of different sorts and did not seem to care much about the tea in front of him as he gobbled up the never ending pile of cakes.
But the person who caught her attention the most was the one in the middle.
He sat in the middle, his tea cup dangling lazily off his right hand and the saucer held in the palm of his left. He wore a white frilled shirt underneath a rich velvet purple over coat. He had dark brown hair and a purple top hat sat precariously on top of his head. Silver earrings were on each ear.
But his eyes were what she noticed the most.
One eye was grey while the other was purple, his eyelids were painted gold and he was looking directly at her,
A grin etched onto his ,to her, beautiful features.
She blinked as he sat up,
"Welcome to my tea party, Ji rae," he spread out his arms , spilling some tea on the red haired man's cakes in the process, which caused him to let out a string of complaints, which were silenced by a look from the man with the top hat.
She walked forward and bowed to them , "Hello! Are you perhaps the one who sent them for me?"
He grinned ,"That I am, now why don't you take a seat next to Jungkookie here," he gestured towards the boy with the blue waistcoat, who looked up in fright at her.
"Don't worry, she won't do anything to you," He told the boy named Jungkook and waved at the seat next to him , signalling for her to sit down.
After she sat he continued, "This here is Hoseok, but you can call him Hobi" he pointed to the red haired male who was still gobbling down the tea cakes but abruptly stopped when he saw her attention on him,
"Hello! My name is Hoseok!" He flashed a wide, heart shaped grin towards her.
The man laughed and continued, " and I am Taehyung, Do have some tea,"
Ji rae smiled
Taehyung
Even his name was pretty, like him.
She accepted the white cup filled with a brown liquid of what she hoped was tea,
After taking a sip, she determined that it was indeed, quite delicious.
"Taehyung, why did you send for me?" She queried, setting down the now empty cup,
"Because you were stuck in the room Of course!" He said his two toned eyes twinkling, " Since you are new here I will show you around.... Hoseokie here is the March Hare, quite lazy and eats all of my cakes-"
"But your cakes never finish so its not like Im causing a shortage!" Hoseok exclaimed looking up from his plate of cakes that had once again formed a pile, "You do have tea parties all the time , Hatter!"
Taehyung just smiled
"Hatter?" Ji rae asked, confused.
"That is me, the Mad Hatter," he turned his attention to her once again, " and Jungkook is the Rabbit."
Ji rae stifled a laugh and Jungkook just grumbled, "so what if i don't have a cool name like Mad Hatter or March hare , I dont care hmmph." He looked down at his watch before exclaiming, " I must leave now, the King is awaiting my arrival!"
Taehyung just laughed before saying, " Why don't we all pay him a visit? I'm sure he would love to meet al- i mean Ji rae."
He pulled Ji rae up from her seat and brushing crumbs from his black pants and straightening his coat, he pulled her along and they walked together with the Rabbit and The march hare to meet this King.
"Who exactly are we going to meet?" Ji rae asked him
"The king of hearts, of course!" He smiled that breathtaking smile before turning back towards the path.
