Time and Time Again

Not so easy Solution

Lia spent the first day in Daegu looking around the town seeing how much it changed since she last lived here. She smiled seeing a little instument shop Yoongi opened up still going strong even after two hundred years. No matter what life Yoongi was living he was always the same and always had a passion for music.

She walked in a few parks that were places she once walkd with Yoongi and saw flashes of their lives together. It made her sad but happy because she at least had those memories with Yoongi but he didn't. Not yet at least.

Day two in Daegu was dedicated to finding the street she first met Yoongi at. She traveled all over the city. She was only one person with once magical necklace loosing hope to even find the street. She had been at it all day with a few stops to rest and reenergize herself. The sun was setting and Lia wanted to give up when she felt a heat come from the necklace.

"Finally." She let out a cheer making those around her look at her like she was crazy. Lia walked with a bit more pep in her step. She played a game of hot and cold with the necklace and street.

Finally she reached a street and saw a perfect vision of when she first met Yoongi. Next to his ghostly figure was a man in dark clothing.

"Queen Lia." He bowed his head. She hadn't heard anyone call her Queen in so long it was almost foreign sounding.

"You're the practitioner." Lia said as he removed his hood. The man was tall, with dark colored hair and big doe like eyes. He had a scar on his left cheek and a beauty mark under his bottom lip.

"My names Jeon Jungkook my Queen." He said.

"I haven't been Queen for a long time." Lia murmured.

"Yes but you were the last real genuine one. Follow me. I know why you're here and I've been waiting a long time." Jungkook said turning around. He started walking down the street and Lia rushed to catch up with him.

"You've been here all this time?" 

"Yes. I knew one day you'd find me so I waited." Jungkook nodded.

"Why didn't you find me?" Lia asked.

"That's not how this works." Jungkook chuckled. He unlocked the door to a little comic book store and let Lia in. He locked the door behind him and took her up the back steps to the living space above the store. 

"How could you never be caught by anyone?" Lia asked him.

"I am a magic practitioner Queen Lia." Jungkook said letting her into his small but comfortable flat.

"Oh right." Lia nodded sheepishly.

"Now I know why you're here but you've been walking a long time. Have some food." Jungkook said waving his hand to have plates of food float onto the dining table.

"What's the catch?" Lia asked weary of him because the catch for her suffering was never dying and always watching Yoongi die.

"There is none." Jungkook assured her.

"Then take a bite yourself." Lia said grabbing a plate of chicken and handing it to him. She wanted to trust his word, he was nice from what she remembered other than the time he had to spell her. Jungkook sighed and took the piece of chicken she chose for him to eat and bit into it.

"Please eat now." Jungkook said.

"Then eat with me. I can't eat your food alone." Lia said. Jungkook smiled seeing that the Queen he remembered was still so generous even after what she had been through all this time.

"Now your solution to this isn't going to be easy." Jungkook said showing her the page in his book that held the spell he used on her.

"They never are in the movies." Lia murmured.

"No they aren't." Jungkook frowned.

"What do I need to do?" Lia asked Jungkook.

"In short. You need to change the course of fate with the act of sacrafice." Jungkook told her.

"Why couldn't it just be fight a troll or something." Lia put her head down on the table.

"There is no time limit on this solution. But the act does have to come from honest and true love. You have to want it with the purest of intentions of love." Jungkook told her.

"That could be anything." Lia said.

"It could. I wish I could tell you more." Jungkook said.

"Could you help me in anyway?" Lia asked him. 

"I'm afraid not. I'm just as lost on a sacrifice as you are." Jungkook murmured.

"Mm." Lia nodded, "Well what will you do now? I mean you waited here all this time for me. Now I'm here and your task is over." 

"I I never thought about what I would do." Jungkook murmured.

"Well you could always come home with me." Lia said.

"I already said I do not know-"

"Not to help. To live. I don't see pictures of you with anyone, I don't see the presence of a significant other or children. I feel you wasted your time just for me. You didn't get to experience life." Lia said.

"Well no." Jungkook shook his head.

"Then live with me and Namjoon. He'll love to see you again." Lia smiled.

"He remembers me?" Jungkook asked looking at her with surprise.

"Well you did make him in a way." Lia nodded.

"But we didn't meet." Jungkook frowned.

"No but his mark lived through me until he was able to come out." Lia said.

"That's incredble."

"It is. So? What do you say?"

"When do you return home?" Jungkook asked.

"Two days. Until then you and I are going to pack up and-"

"You don't have to worry about that. I can easily take care of it myself. This place doesn't exist to everyday people." Jungkook said.

"But I'm everyday people." Lia frowned.

"Are you though Queen Lia? How old are you again?" Jungkook asked.

"Oh right. Don't call me Queen either. That's a long time ago. Noona is okay." Lia told him.

"Then noona, what's good to eat? I never go pass the street corner and always order in." Jungkook said.

"You're missing out on quite the amount of food. Come on." Lia said grabbing his hand.

On her phone she showed Jungkook a number of places that were said to have good food in Daegu and she would take him to whatever place he wanted.
