"He is, and always will be, a Shadowling."

The empire is rolling on wheels, people rushing through the market stocks to get food, items, or trade things for other things.

It was the season of Crystal Snow, where the season would turn from the Starlight Fall, to the cold festive winter land.

Magic was present everywhere in the Empire, and the king and queen were on full parenting mode.

"Lights?"

"Check!"

"Presents?"

"... Check!"

"Luna?"

"... No?"

Seokjin turned around rapidly. "Where is my child?!" He yells. "She said she would be joining Jimin on his Crystal Snow hunt for gifts." His husband replies. "You know Jimin takes very good care of her."

Seokjin sighs and nods. "I know... She's only six. How can I not be worried about my baby?" He asks. Hoseok smiles. "Don't be so upset, sweetheart, Jimin is always protecting her." Seokjin nods. "I know..."

Luna happily hops next to Jimin, who is checking things off on his list. He smiles at the salesman and waves goodbye with his eighth bag.

"Chimmy?" "Hm?" Jimin smiles. "What will you get for me?" Luna asks. Jimin chuckles. "If I tell you it won't be a surprise." He replies. "So... that necklace isn't for me?" Luna asks, pouting sadly.

Jimin shakes his head. "I'm sorry Luna, that's for Jungkook." "Is Jungkookie prettier than me?" Luna pouts. Jimin shakes his head. "He's more handsome, but you're prettiest in the whole empire!" Luna smiles widely. She can't wait.

Jimin closes the door behind him and laughs softly when he's greeted by a tight hugging Jungkook. "Good afternoon to you too." He chuckles. Jungkook smiles. "You were gone for too long. I missed you." The young Shadowling mumbles.

Jimin smiles. "I missed you too, Jungkook." He says softly. "Have you felt anything?" Jungkook shakes his head. "Nothing. Ever since the darkness has been pulled from my soul I feel... free."

"That's good." Jimin says softly. "I got you something." Jungkook perks up and smiles. "Really? What did you yet?" He asks.

Jimin smiles and pulls the small box from his bag, opening the top and letting the small heart pendant shine in the lamp.

Jungkook's mouth falls agape, his eyes widening at the golden chains and pink diamonds that decorated the heart.

"Hyung... It's beautiful, you didn't have to do this!" He exclaims, taking Jimin in for another hug. Jimin chuckles. "I had to. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't get my best friend a gift for Crystal Eve?"

Jungkook's eyes saddened for a moment. "Yeah... friends... do that." He mumbles.

The next morning, Jimin is busy.

Busy, busy, busy.

He checks everything off on the list, checks it again, and corrects things if needed.

Seokjin and Hoseok have to take rest. They've been so worried that the bags under their eyes make them look like a skeleton.

"No, no!" Jimin laughs. "Tae, calm down! It's not a birthday party, it's Crystal Snow season. I'd recommend a crystal blue that matches the Heart, and maybe a few hints of pastel pink and white."
