They were meant to meet at the most unfavored time. He's the infamous anathema in town while she, on the other hand is the pastor's daughter. He's a trouble magnet but she's his lucky charm.
"You shouldn't be with me, Lalisa. I'm no good influence...

Lalisa eyed the tall pine trees around them. The sun was setting down yet they haven't still finished on their first task. She is getting impatient at the map that was given to them earlier.
No matter how many times she re-read the riddle and scrutinized the whole signs and symbols of the map, she couldn't come up with something.
Her quest partner is not even participating that much, he just let her do her thing and walked beside her quietly and do nothing. They were supposed to find a moon flower but they've been roaming around the deeper part of the forest yet they were no flowers around. Lisa doesn't even have any clue what a 'moon flower' is.
As expected, it's getting harder every year. Jungkook became alert with their surroundings the moment the sky slowly turning dusk. Gazing up at the canopy, he knew the forest become a battlefield at night with shadows lurking around.
"I'm exhausted." She slumped her arms on her side, in need for a little rest, she sat on the nearest big elm tree log.
"We should start building the tent here." He suggested, as he crouched down to touch the texture of the soil. Checking if it's a good place to built the tent next to the elm tree.
"But we haven't yet finished the first task." She pouted, handing him the map.
Jungkook took it and for the first time, he read the map. He shifted his look at her as he commented something to appease the raven head. "The others too."
This made Lisa raised her perfect brow, her lips pursing into a thin line. "How are you sure about that?"
"I just know." Jungkook shrugged, taking out the folded tent inside his bagpack. Lisa just scoffed at his mild arrogance, muttering a word under her breath but Jungkook ignored her.
He busied himself building the tent for them while Lisa sat there with a wood stick in her hand, writing something on the ground. It's a replica of one of the symbol on Jungkook's tattooed arm. She swear she had seen it before but she doesn't remember where and when.
The breeze turned colder and soon enough darkness engulfed the forest.
"Come, cherub."
Jungkook called her, Lisa immediately stood up. Dusting her pants.
"Where?"
Jungkook ran his fingers through his long hair, taking out the neatly folded map inside his pocket. "Let's gather woods for the bonfire and it's about time to begin the game." He once again scan the quest map before handing it back to the raven head girl who went near him.
She scratched her head, confused. "But wasn't it started earlier?"
"The first item is a moon flower, cherub. And it's called a 'moon flower' for a reason." He explained, eyes looking up to glimpse at the night sky. Fragments of billion stars above can only be seen through these thick trees, like scattered of an impossible jigsaw puzzle. Nonetheless the moon is bright enough, to illuminate a vague path for the both of them.
