|Jimin age : 16|

Jimin stared out the window of his school building. The bells ringing, a guy noticed him.

"Jimin? Shouldn't you be heading to your next class soon?" he asked.
Jimin woke up from staring.
"ah, you're right" Jimin said and looked back. "everyone left already".

The guy walked towards the exit of the classroom. "I'll see you later".
"okay, thanks!"  Jimin said. He grabbed his books and so slowly school ended.

Jimin silently walked home, he arrived soon enough and had dinner. Jimin lay his bowl slowly down and got up. "thanks for the food"
He said. His mom looked at him.

"what? You're done?" she asked whole looking at the rice that was still in the bowl.
"You probably ate before dinner, didn't you?" she asked. Jimin looked at her and walked further.

The next day, it was freezing. Jimin's breath flew away as the wind took it with him.

"Jimin"

"ji-min"

Jimin opened his eyes as he saw his classmate. "oh, good morning" he said. "good morning" he said back.

"there, near tour feet. It's frozen" the guy said. Jimin looked down. It was all ice. "you'll slip, it's dangerous" the guy said. The guy reached his hand out.

That guy was Jung Hoseok. Jimin smiled and grabbed his hand.
"thank you" Jimin said. They both walked to school.

"it's cold today" Hoseok said. Jimin smiled for a moment. "You can probably melt it" Jimin said. Hoseok started to laugh, people call him the sun. He's so energetic and happy.

"haven't you been a little out lately?" Hoseok asked. "actually you've always been that way but.. ".

Hobi's voice slowly disappeared as Jimin was thinking.

"I want to.. "

"see Yoongi"

Meanwhile at the forest. Flowers were covered in the snow. The water had frozen into ice. And Yoongi sat on his fountain. Looking up at the sky, snow falling on his mask.

And he.. Had the scarf on, the scarf Jimin got him. He took his mask of for a moment, his glowing pure skin looking towards the sky, his eyes closed as cooked down his face.

"I want to.. "

"touch Yoongi"

|present|

Jimin stepped out of the bullet train. He had came back for the summer, just like each year.
Yoongi already stood there waiting for him by the monument.

"is that your new uniform?" he asked as he looked at Jimin. He smiled proudly. He nodded and walked towards him. And so both walked into the forest.

"time flies, doesn't it?" Yoongi asked. "you're almost off college, huh" he said. "yup".

They sat down by the lake. Yoongi looked at Jimin.
"You don't come running at me anymore these days" Yoongi said.

"I've learned my lessons after all those beatings" Jimin said. Jimin smiled and looked back up.

"I'm looking forward, in a year, when I graduate. I plan on looking for a job here" Jimin said. Yoongi looked at Jimin.

"then I can be with you more" Jimin said full of hope.

"in autumn, winter, spring... Always" Jimin said. Jimin looked at Yoongi, "right?".

"Jimin, let me tell you about myself"
Yoongi said. Jimin smiled while looking at him, after years he was the one telling about himself for once.

"I'm not a spirit, but... I'm no longer a human. It seems like I was once human. But when I was a baby.. I was abandoned in the forest"

And there he lay, all alone in the forest, in a tiny basket with only a blanket and a sippy cup with milk.

"I'd only just been abandoned, so I cried helplessly. As if to call back the parents who left me"

Then Yokais appeared. Behind the tree. They stared at the poor boy and got a mask, the mask Yoongi always wore and still wears.

"They say I didn't stop crying for a long time..."

They placed the mask on Yoongi's fave and noticed that he stopped crying. He started laughing instead and so, the yokais decided to take care of him.

"I should've died then, but the mountain god appeared and cast a pell that allowed me to continue living. So that I never move on"

"I'm like a ghost" Yoongi looked at Jimin. "Jimin, its okay if you forget about me. A body that's maintained by magic is very weak, it it touches a human body, the spell will break and the body will disappear. It's such a fragile thing, how long can you-"

"something that disappears when touched... Is just like snow isn't it?"
Jimin said.

"Yoongi, I thought of you during winter. Even during autumn and spring. Yoongi, don't forget about me, don't forget time might separate us one day. But, even still, until then, let's stay together"
