God!Taehyung x Jimin

I wiped the blood off my lips and my nose.

God, why did everyone have to be so cruel?

The boys in my village always sought pleasure in torturing me, watching me bleed.

This time, I had almost been beaten to death.

Now, I was all alone in the forest, probably miles away from home.

Feeling hopeless, I let out a wail and buried my face in my hands.

Just then, a soothing voice caused me to look up.

"Why do you weep, my child?"

It was a tall man with pale green skin and brown hair. Vines and leaves were wrapped all around his body.

"Who are you?" I sniffled.

"I am Taehyung, the God of the forest. I sensed your presence and wanted to be of help to you. Now, tell me, my child, what is it that bothers you so much?" he asked.

I told him everything, trying my hardest to avoid sobbing and making a scene.

"I just...don't want to live anymore." I said, my voice trembling.

Taehyung placed an arm on my shoulder.

"I will do anything to ensure my children are unharmed. Come with me to the lake, Jimin."

I nodded and followed him until we reached a lake.

"This will be your new home, Jimin." he said.

"My new home is beside a lake? I don't see any houses." I replied.

"You will be living in this lake, child."

"In the lake? How will I survive?"

"I assure you, child, no harm will come to you as long as I am around. Now, get in the water."

I dipped my feet into the cold water as he chanted in a strange language.

Suddenly, I felt some sort of energy flowing through my body, making me feel as if the lake and I were now one and the same.

I stared at my hands in awe as webs formed between my fingers and my skin now had a pale blue tint.

"Do well, my precious naiad." he said, placing his hands on my shoulders.

Being a naiad is pretty cool. I can do a bunch of things with water, shape-shift and change size at will, making it easier to communicate with the tiny forest fairies so that they don't feel uncomfortable talking to people who are much bigger than them.

At the moment, I was busy singing and playing my lyre when Jungkook, a forest fairy, bumped into me.

He shivered a little upon seeing me at my full height, so I decided to shrink down to his height to make him feel comfortable.

"The Lord of the Forest seeks an audience with you, Jimin." he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Is it so? I'll be right there." I said.

Jungkook nodded and flew away.

I took the form of a puddle of water and joined the lake, allowing it to guide me to the home of Lord Taehyung.

"Jiminie, my precious naiad," said Taehyung, his voice hoarse, "How delighted I am to see you."

"So am I, Lord Taehyung," I said, bowing, "How can I be of service?"

"I have news. Terrible news. The forest is dying, and so am I." he said.
