Lost Prince : Park Jimin

Chapter 28. Share A Bath

I bowed and greeted him with a smile, 'J-hope?' I asked quite unsurely.

He nodded with a mother of fairy smile, 'Oh! Aren't you the guy who bought clothes from my shop?' he asked but he had actually completely recalled myself.

My smile widen just by his presence and what an aura ha had on. Before I could ask him out the address to my return way, he attacked me with question,

'How are you, how's going with jin hyung. Where are you heading', he asked joyously.

I could see and feel why he named himself J-hope, 'I am fine', I said and continued, 'I was here for some errands and my lost my way out'

He asked with a long, 'Ohh! You forgot the way to hyung's farm?'

I nodded, he scratched the back of his looking up and after thinking for sometime, he said, 'Even I don't remember'

My stomach broke, how do I reach back now?

'Don't worry, I am kidding', he said and pulled out his tongue. I faked a smile as though I wasn't annoyed enough for time being. But have to be nice all the time, right Chimin kun?

After, I reached by the farm it was already sunset, the guy who called himself J-hope dropped me all the way here. I have never indulge in conversation to such an great extent as I had with him. He has an decent sense of humour and a cheerful aura every time I met him. But, he didn't stopped by since he was too busy, still a lot of his precious time was consumed by me. Even though he made me laugh all the way here, I couldn't help but to be sad.

I sat against the rock fence and pulled my legs closed to my chest. What do I do? How do I know the answer, or exact answer to some riddle. I am so bad at riddles since the childhood. My mother would always asks us some riddles every night on the days she felt bored of bedtime horror stories or a prince and princesses tale.
I curled myself as close as possible and rest my forehead on my hand which was laid on my knees. Think! Think!

What do riddles reminds me of? Childhood memories. What memories? Playing riddle with my mother and sweet little brother. What kind of riddles we used to play? I kind of not recall much, but some ironic ones where the answer lies within the context.

The answer lies within the context! Suddenly, something popped up inside my brain. I wasn't sure what was it, but was as if I knew there was a diamond in a charcoal mine, but don't know the location of it. I need to find the location, that is I need to find an answer.

But I have also got an clue, that is that there is definitely a diamond inside the mine. Which means, there is answer within the riddle.

Sounds easy, right? Easier said than done. If I were to rush in charcoal mine, then how would I search for the diamond? Maybe, checking every charcoal, then every lane on the walls and then whole mine at once. Then I'll know where exactly is it placed.

As I recalled all the information, another brilliant and stunning thought processed inside my brain. I quickly thundered upstair, ignoring the call hyung gave me from the kitchen. I opened my room, locked it quickly and turned to the book which was placed still on my messes up bedsheet.

'Mr. Ahmin, are you up?', I asked excitedly and eagerly waited for an answer.

The book as usual floated a bit on the air, but just a few inches away from the bed,

'So, have you found an answer to my riddle?', it asked me.

I smiled with relaxed my muscles before saying, 'Yup!' with an snap and a wink.

'What is it then?', it asked and added, 'You only have two chances vacant...'

But before It could complete, this time, I intrude him, 'I won't even need two, one is enough', I said while showing an confident fist.

'Okay, one chance reduced', It said and dropped my jaw. He couldn't possibly be that serious?

He looked at him with sloppy eyes as he snatch my precious chance, now I only got one life to go.

I gulped pulling myself all in and uttered, 'The reason the father killed her own daughter', I paused and precisely said, 'She was going to expose her father, before he was going to murder her'

The moment was stunned, time stopped for both of us. My heart was plundering my whole body and I could feel it very well. The feeling of anticipation was overwhelming and uncontrollable.

With an smirk, said Mr. Ahmin, 'Very well, I didn't expected you to be so quick' and added, 'But could you explain me, how did you figured the riddle how?'

'Question had been denied', I said and giggled but I didn't wanted to annoy Mr. Ahmin, he becomes pretty terrific at times. I quickly answered, 'The first word of every second line states this.

"She..

was..

going..

to..

expose..

her..

father..

before..

he..

was..

going..

to..

murder..

her.."

To be honest I had surprised Mr. Ahmin more than he expected, he sighed which was again I have to mention, pretty weird to see. A booking exhaling out air with a shake, what's more weird?

'Well done, now that is said and done, let's come to your question, shall we?', he asked.

To be honest, I wanted to pat my back for being so intelligent but also to hit my head with a wall since I wasn't helping out hyung even a penny worth. Yet, I sat on the and carefully calculated my question since I didn't wanted waste my precious chance. I can't solve any more riddles, It would vanquish my nerve cells from existence.

'Where do I find the first flowering warrior?', I asked and waited eagerly for an answer. I know if I were to ask a direct question of the location of all at times, it wouldn't be as descriptive. I can manage a little more riddles but cannot waste an precious opportunity.

'A flowering warrior', it said, 'There are seven of 'em and each one possess a different magic'

Even I knew this useless information to began with, I thought but pretend this piece of data was useful.

It continued, 'The first flowering night, you already know, with a face as beautiful as a flower, with an elephant mole'

Thamp! And that was it, it fell closed on the bed again.

'Wait, that was it?', I asked as I shook the book back and forth in my hands to expect it to offer me some more clues but what stopped me was, a brilliant shock. Erupted from the book and ran through all my body. After facing an intense electric shock, my hair were all lined up against the gravity, straight and messed up and I was all roasted up like a pork.

Fog came out of my mouth, an intense circuit shock inside my body and I was doomed.

'Chimin!', called out hyung for me but I was yet to care. I need to find a flowering warrior, with beautiful as beautiful as a flower and an elephant mole. What is an elephant mole, is it as large as an elephant, then how does it even fits inside the body?

Someone I knew who is as beautiful as a flower? Who is it?

'Chimin', called out hyung for me again.

I was again going to ignore his calls, but suddenly an pulse passed by! A face as beautiful as a flower and I know who is it?

You guessed it right!

Hyung is the first flowering Knight! I jumped on my bed in joy and celebration. But I couldn't be that sure, I still need to spot the moles on his body and the only way to do so is...?

Have a bath together...

Just the thought killed all my excitement, I would share a bath with him, with no piece of clothing on... how seductive...!
