The Moon Nymph and the Wolf [JimSu Angst AU]

[12]

"We love the night and its quiet; and there is no night that we love so well as that on which the moon is coffined in clouds." 

[Yoongi's POV]

This was really nice, I felt his warmth all over me and I was no longer cold. I nuzzled my nose into his neck as he held me by my waist in the love chair. I really wanted to stay like this with him for a long time, I wanted to be here with him, even if it meant making him waste his sleep time just to spend some time with me.

The movie was beautiful especially when Edward and Bella finally became official. Their love was rough at first, with a lot of misunderstandings, but now... it's like heaven to both of them. Even if Edward had to drink and hunt more in order to keep himself in control to not drink Bella's blood.

"They look so happy... and in love," I muttered.

I expected Jimin to answer me or hum in response, but when I didn't, I looked up and saw him sleeping peacefully. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Aish, why do you always insist on staying awake all night when you had a rough day? I love you pabo," I giggled quietly and continued to watch the movie myself. I bet he already watched it countless of times. After all, he has plenty of time before I even come to visit him.

I stopped watching the movie and rather just decided to focus on his sleepy face. His pouty lips and how serene his face looks. I wish I could take a picture of it and have it with me. I smiled at the tough and then I heard a click from somewhere. I looked around and found Jimin's little brother smiling right at me.

"You might wanna keep this when you leave, just for a friendly reminder of tonight," he said and waved the little white card back and forth.

"What's that?" I asked softly.

"It's a picture, and the camera is a Polaroid. This is used to capture moments in life that you do not want to forget when you grow older. Us Earthlings use this to remind ourselves of important moments that mean a lot to us," he told me.

Jimin nuzzled his nose in my hair and I started to get flustered. Jimin's little brother took another picture and smiled after he took it and the little white card started to come out.

"I'm sorry, but this is going to be for my hyung when he wakes up," he told me.

"Why are you still awake? If you don't mind me asking," I told him.

"How can I sleep when my brother's crush is here? I actually didn't really believe him until now. He said you were beautiful and I didn't believe him until now. He wasn't exaggerating when he described you as a perfect creature that was created to be perfect," he chuckled softly.

I felt my freckled lighting up and I covered my face with my hands, I didn't want to wake up Jimin just because of the brightness that my freckles were making. 

"But hyung, if you don't mind me asking... do you love him?" Jimin's little brother asked me.

"I- I do love him... I'm just... kind of scared, you could say. This is my first relationship. I don't know how love works nor do I know how to control my feelings. He's the first being that made me feel this way. Every insignificant thing I do, he praises me. I've never been praised by my own family, just by a few star people, I guess. But that's another story," I told him.

He tilted his head to the side, and I could imagine him having puppy ears and looking at me with those similar eyes and I giggled quietly.

"Star people? You mean, there's different type of people up there?" he asked me.

I nodded, "There's the Star people, which are the low class, you could say. Then, there's the Moon people, who are the middle people, and the Sun people, who are at the top of the Stellar people," I explained.

"Do you guys die when you grow of old age?" he asked me.

I nodded, "We turn into the Star people, so basically, that's why new stars are born. When we die, our glamour and glory fade and we turn into simple Star people, it's like being born, but only backwars. I don't know if that makes sense to you..."

"What happens when a Star person dies?" he asked.

"They turn into small balls of energy and they go to the Stellar Lake, the Lake in which all the souls of the Stellar people are born and go to when their time has been completed. Sort of like being reborn, but we take turns to be born and to go back to the Lake, sort of like a life cycle," I explained.

"Wow, that's very cool, how many lives had you lived?" he asked me.

"I don't remember, once you're born either as a Sun Nymph, or a Moon Nymph, you can't remember your past life. When you die as a Star person, which is the last stage of life you could say, and turn into a ball of energy and go back to the Stellar Lake, you leave your precious memories there. Whether if they were memories of joy or pain, it will all be left there. And if you ever want to remember your past life, you go there and touch the Stellar Lake and gain some of the precious memories that you've left behind. It's like starting a new book, our minds and memories are wiped and are left behind in the Stellar Lake," I told him.

"Wow, I wish it was that simple for us Shapeshifters and werewolves," he chuckled. "It's cool how you can go back and remember part of your past in the Stellar Lake, but when a werewolf dies, it either turns into something like a tree or a wolf. When a shapeshifter dies, our souls are in the wind. But our ancestors' souls are very well known to be like this wolf that's transparent and having this majestic glow. We could turn into wolves, but that's if we want to. When we die, we do not remember anything, and if we do then that's just a weird coincidence. It happens once in a century, so if Jimin were to die, but remember his past life, that would be just one in a million werewolves or shapeshifters. It's that rare," he told me.

"At least you guys are able to see your ancestors, we Stellar people are like a cycle, our ancestors are actually our past life. We might not remember, but that's just how we are. We go around and around endlessly. Your souls are able to rest in nature freely, but we are only recycled," I snuggled closer to Jimin's chest.

"So no new souls or new balls of energy are born?" he asked.

I shook my head, "It's very unlikely, it would never happen."

"Well then, I'll leave you two alone. Oh- and before I forget, here," he handed me the small card and there it was, Jimin sleeping and me in his arms in the love couch, the light of the TV reflecting my face.

I looked back at him and smiled, "Thank you very much."

He patted my shoulder, "Anytime hyung, whenever you visit, I'll keep taking photos as long as you don't mind and take them with you so that you might remember your past life."

This was really sweet of him, I'll make sure to hide them all in one special cloud that only I know. But right now, I want to enjoy this moment before it's my turn to leave his arms. I just want to be here with him and spend as much time as I can with him.

"I love you... Jimin-ah."
