Luminous Kingdom | Jikook |

•Chapter 14•

        The curtains of Jimin's room are bright white, but it still dimmed the room well. Well enough for Nolland to sleep next to Jimin without realizing it. He was going to ask him for details on what happened but he dazed off. Leaving his partner wide awake, with the book in his hands. Reading.

    He flipped through the pages, focused on his notes, however, he kept eyeing Jungkook's essay that he didn't finish reading. His heart was doubtful, he didn't know from what, but, he knew the feeling is real. His delicate fingers flipped another paper, he sighed loudly and then closed it. Holding Jungkook's notes and opening them to read.

    A drop of smartness, with a drop of confidence, eighty liters of power and ninety gallons of handsomeness with a hint of starlight in my eyes makes Jeon Jungkook. It's unfair that someone gets to be all that. Gets to create the word perfection.

   Jimin scoffed unconsciously, he covered his mouth quickly glancing at Nolland afraid he was going to wake up, but that didn't seem to happen. He kept reading even though Jungkook's words made him cringe.

    If you doubt any of it, I'll be sure to prove them all. Especially power.

    Jimin's lips curled for no reason, he shook his head with annoyance as he kept reading.

   I'll give you a riddle to solve,

  In the night, fires light up the world,
  In the city, eyes are not rolling around,
In the cave, there is no such thing.
   What am I.

   The blonde boy read it over and over again, but nothing rung a bell in his mind. Even though he is smart, it was too hard. Almost didn't make sense to him. He closed the notes and hid them under the pillow as he kept thinking about it. "A person like Jungkook loves giving people torturous things like this riddle. He knows I won't rest well until I solve it, what a jerk." He thought as he faced Nolland and stared at him, sleeping.

   But even him couldn't distract him from that riddle, he can feel his mind boil with fury, like a volcano ready to erupt. Although, the answer must be something about Fae's, and he knew he needed to collect more information about them from either Nolland or Haven, without making them suspect a thing.

   The sun arose on the Kingdom, Jimin barely closed his eyes before Ris stormed in his room with a rush, "wake up, quickly." She said.

   Jimin groaned, he felt his eyes burn since they couldn't get a hint of sleep. Ris shook him awake, "we don't have time. You need to get ready before they come." She told the boy.

  "Who?" He rose up and rubbed his eyes. The curtains opened up, making his eyes burn even more. It looked too early to even wake up.

   Ris started picking out pretty clothes from him, "our neighbors." She carefully said, as if she was told to think well before answering his questions.

   "And you can't tell me their names?" He rose a brow, studying the look on the female Fae's face. But it looked like she wasn't going to answer any time soon, so he finally left the jasmine bed and walked in the bathroom to bathe.

   He saw the clothes that Ris picked out for him, they were fancier than usual but still as hideous. "They need a wardrobe upgrade." The boy mumbled to himself.

   He had to wear a rich green buttoned up shirt, light brown pants, and white boots. He saw Ris come in the room again with jewels and flowers in her hands. "These guests must be important." He stated, looking at Ris from the mirror.

   Ris gave him an unsure smile, "we hope that they're cooperative too." She murmured under her breath, not thinking twice, and she regretted it.
