It was a fine day. Prince Jimin is wandering around the village as the nymphs told him to. They did not tell him why or what his objective was but he followed anyway.
The nymph Gelliphea has been guiding Jimin ever since he was chosen to be a successor. Now that his 26th birthday is coming, they have to prepare for his coronation.
As he walked through the market, he saw a person whom he haven't seen before. It was not amusement that took his attention, it was fear. For the first time in his life, he felt the weight of being a leader that has to fend off invaders.
"Is this the reason why you put me up to this?" Asked the prince to the nymph. He is the only one who can communicate to them so normal people can't perceive what he can.
On the other hand, the prince from the far away land seems to doubt himself after seeing Hontellè's prince. He saw himself on the prince and is now having second thoughts.
As they gazed upon each other, they both knew that the existense of the other is a threat to the other. Jimin knew what was going to happen.
The prophecy is bound to come true no matter what he does. It became clearer when he approached the stranger.
"Greetings. May I know who you are and what you're doing in this beautiful land?" Jimin asked.
They shook hands and immediately he felt the fear, of letting the enemy in. He tried to look intimidating but to no avail. This foe is a steel wall waiting to crush him.
"Thank you for the warm welcome. My name is Jungkook and I'm a traveller."
The hands that touched Jungkook is very different from the hands of the king. It was light, and warm, like how his mother always comforted him whenever he can't get the king's approval.
Is it possible to rule a kingdom with this gentleness? He asked himself. He had only known a hand of steel in ruling.
"Well then, please enjoy yourself and I hope we'll meet again." Jimin said his goodbye. He can't hold himself up anymore and the walls he had been building are starting to crack. He can't be around that person any longer.
"Thank you again. I hope so too."
"You never did tell me your name." Jungkook tried to hold those hands for a little bit longer.
"Jimin. Prince Jimin."
With that note, they parted ways that day knowing that even if they only had encountered each other for a brief moment, they will never be the same.
