Witch One? ~Indefinite Hiatus~

Hickeys

🌊🌊🌊

Jimin's/Sea Witch's POV

I scramble to catch the collapsing girl, also carefully watching my typically stoic friend panic as he reacts to run forward to my side. He quickly stops himself though and tries to pretend he didn't just panic to rush to her side.

I choose not to say anything and just pick up the no-longer-crying witch, hesitantly heading back to the cottage. Yoongi silently follows, grabbing her bag on the way out. The quiet is tense and heavy as Yoongi pulls out a sleeping mat for the girl to lay on in my makeshift guest room.

"I'll take care of her injuries. You should wait in the living room," I suggest to Yoongi after I grab some creams and bandages.

He nods, leaving the room without a single word of explanation, not that I want or need one at the moment.

"Okay now brat, you are still choosing to cause trouble even if you're injured. Note to self, extremely stubborn and don't piss her off anymore than I have so I don't die," I mutter to myself as I use a pocket knife to cut open her blood-soaked shirt.

I hum a soft tune as I tend to the injury on her ribs and move down her side and arm. I do another once over before my eyes catch a small bruise on her stomach and collarbone that I didn't notice. The nearly faded red marks would have been hard to see if it wasn't for her paler skin tone. The harder I look, the more I found, not that there were that many though. Just a sparse trail from her collar bone leading down to her... pubic bone. Oh. Faded red bruises leading down to her pubic bone. Huh.

I just shake it off as I check for any obvious signs of injuries on her legs. Injuries first. Questions later. I try to focus, I really do but now it's bugging me.

Did she bring a fling onto my property? I was kind enough to let just her on as it was but now she's bringing flings! Why, next thing you know is she is building some mini house or something in the cave!

I sigh, irritated now as I run my hands through my hair, feeling a pout form on my lips. Why here of all places! That cave ought to be the least comfortable place to have a fling! Could she not find elsewhere to do that? Somewhere that wasn't, I don't know, my property!

I grumble as I look at her head, sloppily covered with a black string of bandages. Not only are you bringing flings but you aren't even dressing your own wounds properly. Troublesome brat. I slip my hand under the back of her neck, gently sliding up so I was holding the base of the back of her head. I undo the bandage, leaving it off to the side as I use my free hand to search for the injury. Making quick work of the injury, I sigh looking at her reddened cheeks. 

Placing the back of my hand against her forehead, I feel the warm sticky skin, promptly frowning at the, at worst, mild fever. Nothing that wouldn't pass on its own. I leave a glass of water and some painkillers on the coffee table near the mat.

"I'm done," I sigh, walking back into a very silent living room.

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah, the brat should be down for the count for an hour or two."

"Thank you, Jimin."

"Yeah, yeah, I know Yoongi. You know I'd do anything for you."

"Still, I am thankful for everything."

I nod as an awkward silence quickly rushes in, neither of us knowing who should say what first.

"The brat... She's your old apprentice I'm assuming?" I look at him, watching as he shuts his eyes and takes a deep breath, sighing sadly.

"Yep, she's my apprentice alright."

"Can, can I ask? What happened Yoongi?"

"Things got complicated. I knew taking her in would've been a bad idea," he sighs, sitting back and sinking into my soft blue sofa.

"What do you mean things got complicated?"

"Emotions Jiminie, emotions got involved in something that has no place for emotions. That's all there is to it," I can hear him clamming up as he keeps his eyes shut and goes silent.

"I'm sorry for pressing, I understand though. I keep getting upset with the brat," I grumble, flopping back against the couch with him.

"Brat? You mean Nova?" He chuckles, looking at me in amusement. "What did she do to you now?"

"She's a brat and will only be referred to as such," I scoff making Yoongi chuckle more. "I was cleaning the brat's wounds and found hickeys, she's bringing her flings onto my property! The nerve!"

Yoongi tenses, looking wide-eyed for a second before returning to his amused look.

"You never seem to change Jimin," he laughs, patting my shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever," I grumble, ignoring how I could feel the embarrassment show on my face.

"Well kid, it's best I get out of your hair so you can spend your full attention on trying not to kill 'the brat' and whatnot," he chuckles standing up.

"Already? But you've barely spent any time with me," I whine. "I haven't even heard about how the others are doing!"

"Send them a letter then kid, I'm not gonna be your messenger," he laughs as he ruffles my hair making me whine more. "Well I'm off, have fun with Nova."

And with that, he's gone.

A/N: Editing will never be fun, will it? I just want to go back and rewrite everything to make it better.

I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter even if it is a bit short! The next one will have more one on one time with Jimin and Nova, who's looking forward to some bickering and emotions?

Thank you for your support and take care!!
