Captivated by Immortality

11: New World

"Jungkook?" He mumbled softly.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Taehyung, eyeing him weirdly.

"How do you know my name?" The barista asked him strangely.

Taehyung's eyes widened, realizing the situation.

"Well...uh..." He hastily started to point his finger aggressively at the boy's name tag.

"Oh..." the barista facepalmed himself, "that's right. I forgot about my name tag." He started to chuckle, Taehyung following along; nervously.

"Minhyuk, you and Haerin order for us. We'll go find a table." I told him, gripping onto Taehyung's wrist and pulling him along with me.

I pulled him towards a table and made him sit down. "I'm guessing that's also one of your friends?" I asked.

"Yeah. That's Jungkook." He quietly said.

"Okay. That's good. We found two of them. How many more are there?"

"Six. There are six of them."

"Two down. Four more to go." I lightly smacked the table with my hand. "It seems like destiny is doing you a favor."

He looked at me curiously. "Well, we already found two of your friends that quickly. At this rate, we'll find them all very soon."

He nodded, showing he understood. "If only I still could activate my wings. I would be able to find them all today."

I raised my eyebrow at him, shaking my head and sighing.

"I'm still having trouble believing you."

"Well maybe you'll believe once we find all my friends and we get them to remember me," he replied.

"I'm still wondering why they can't remember you. I'm sure at least one of them will remember," I insisted.

At that moment Minhyuk and Haerin strode towards our table.

"I'm glad we came here. I'm so hungry," Minhyuk exclaimed, drooling over the food.

"Dig in." I motioned him to sit down and eat.

He ecstatically sat down next to Taehyung and started shoving food in his mouth.

Haerin sat down next to me and look at Minhyuk. "Save some for us, will you," she glared at him.

"Okay. Okay," he managed to say through his stuffed mouth.

I started to eat, enjoying the delicious food.

I looked up, noticing that Taehyung was not eating. "Did you forget how to eat?" I teased him.

He looked at me as if I was crazy,

"This food is different than it was in my time," he said, eyeing the food curiously.

"Well yeah. The food has progressed since 500 years ago." I laughed, "it's good though. Try it."

He hesitantly started to eat. Picking tiny pieces.

"It's good," he nodded approvingly.

I have him a thumbs up.

"You know that barista?" I asked Minhyuk and Haerin.

"You mean Jungkook?" Minhyuk questioned.

"Yeah," I nodded to him.

"What about him," Haerin asked.

"He's one of Taehyung's friends," I said, gesturing towards him.

"Oh. That's why you knew his name." Minhyuk elbowed Taehyung in his side making Taehyung flinch.
