Luminous Kingdom | Jikook |

•Chapter 9•

          The High Jungle Kingdom. The blonde boy just waited for someone to hang off a tree naked yelling. Though, named the Jungle Kingdom does explain the trees everywhere, the beautiful flowers and birds. It wasn't a normal Jungle, it was definitely a kingdom. "Pardon me?" Jimin just stared at the beautiful man in-front of him. "Can you repeat that."

The man smiled, putting on his metal helmet again and glancing at Jimin, or at-least he assumed he was staring at him since he was wearing the helmet. "I'll see you at dinner, be sure to not decide on running away, because you won't succeed and you will just upset the High lord." And he vanished.

Jimin was left alone again in his room, hopeless. "Let me get this straight," he started talking to himself. "The human world ended without an explanation, Nol somehow teleported us into this Jungle Kingdom, and everyone is a Fae." He started laughing, if someone heard him they would think he was insane.

He then looked at the ceiling and stared at it, "I don't like this, I miss being the classroom studying. I miss having projects." He mumbled softly.

The doors of his room opened, Jimin's eyes widened as he moved back a little. It was someone familiar, but he seemed so different now. "Jimin, I heard you tried running away." Nolland said.

The guards closed the doors of the room, the blonde boy took a step back away from him. "You owe me an explanation, and I'm getting it." He claimed, fisting his hands in fear.

Darkness showed in Nolland's eyes, "I do, I was hoping to explain everything while we ate dinner-"

"Dinner." Jimin interrupted him with a scoff, "the human world, my home, just ended and you're telling me I should go take a bubble bath and eat dinner? I'm so sad you don't have a squeaky yellow duck that I can play with while splashing in the water." His sarcastic tone showed through the rage in his eyes.

Nolland looked down and sighed, "I shall explain now then." He then lifted his head up, gazing at Jimin and sitting on the jasmine bed as he added, "we are still trying to find out the reason why the human world ended. We have absolutely no idea."

"You're a Fae?" Jimin kept his distance away from Nolland. Betrayal filled his eyes with some rage too.

The man with the orange hair gave him a nod. "I am." He parted his lips to add, "I hid it from you because you would have freaked out. I'm still the same boy that studied with you in college, that hugged you to sleep when I slept at your house, that kissed you because of the love that I have." He stood up and slowly stalked to the blonde boy.

"You lied to me." His voice cracked, and his heart did too.

"It was for the best," he held Jimin's hand, "I didn't want to lose you." He leaned down to kiss his hand but got rejected, the blonde boy pulled his hand and stepped away from him.

"You're not the same," he shook his head in full disappointment. "Nolland? High lord? What is that all about." He demanded answers and wouldn't wait until dinner.

The boy with the orange hair stalked to him again, "Nol is shortened for Nolland. As a high lord, we can't give our real names to humans." His gaze was soft as ever as he wanted Jimin to forgive him.

"I have so many questions, but my heart can't seem to take it all right now." A tear dropped out of Jimin's eye. Not out of sadness, or fear. But pain.

Nolland didn't care for the rejection he received a minute ago, he leaned down to kiss Jimin's lips, but the boy retrieved his lips inside his mouth, clearly not wanting to kiss, so the high lord kissed his cheek instead and leaned away. Chin high up in the air and shoulders straightened. "You can ask me more questions at dinner. For now, rest."
