~Mystery Man~

It was that moment, when he looked into Grapey eyes for the first time he felt his heart beat loudly in his ears. His face flushed pink but this time it didn't bother him. When he looked into Grapey's frightened eyes, and watched how the waters in them calmed, as if he could see his heart still, he felt light. He didn't understand what he was feeling, but it was deeper then the man could have ever imagined. Taehyung blurred from the corners of his eyes and a voice rang in his head. "Hyung! Hyung! Did you know it takes boys 8.7 seconds to fall in love." He saw the Boy's bunny smile and the way his shoulders bounced as he smiled innocently. Seokjin stared at Grapey with the Boy's voice in his head.

He never really believed it, but now he questioned it. 8 seconds... Only 8 seconds... He watched Grapey's face calm and felt his pulse from the tips of Grapey's fingers that were touching his arms. 8 seconds to memorize every feature of his face. Seokjin thought as he breathed lightly. The air in his lungs bouncing around like feathers. For the first in a long time he felt at peace. Grapey's face slowly faded into a pink color and he averted his eyes bringing Seokjin back to reality.

He blinked several times and caught his breath, it crash landing back down on his chest, weighing him down. "You've," Seokjin rubbed his chest as if some food was slowly traveling down his esophagus. "Never seen fireworks?" He turned his head to Grapey now standing tall and fidgeting with his fingers. "I-I have... I just don't like how loud they are." Taehyung standing next to Grapey awed at Grapey thinking he was the cutest. Seokjin nodded and looked away.

He looked at the beaches water and the Boy's voice entered his head again. "Hyung! Hyung! Isn't it so beautiful! The sea looks to beautiful at night!" Seokjin looked to his right, playing the memory out in front of him. He saw the Boy and himself tailing behind him, he had a smile on his face and laughed. They looked so happy. The memory was so vivid, Seokjin still remembering the Boy wearing his favorite shorts, although being cold. They threw sand at each other, and then Seokjin began screaming as it went down his shirt.

But something weird happened he heard himself scream again, but this time it was coming from behind him. Seokjin' s body whipped around to stare at his memory. It was him with tears in his eyes. "HA-NUEL!!" He heard himself scream out and Seokjin wanted to reach out to his former self. He shouted, screaming out to himself but his memory couldn't hear him.

"Hyung?" Taehyung's hand touched Seokjin' s shoulder to bring him back from his daydreams. Seokjin closed his eyes, and breathed heavily. Taehyung who had been holding onto Grapey's arm let go, both hands now on Seokjin' s, trying to keep the wobbly man steady. "Hyung are you okay?" He leaned his face closer to Seokjin. Seokjin placed his hand on his forehead. "I'm fine." He bit back from wincing as ears rang and his head pounded.

"I'm fine." He pushed Taehyung away lightly. Taehyung could feel something was wrong but decided not to push his brother for answers. "Hey, stranger." Seokjin spoke to Grapey. "Where are you from?" Grapey lurched forwards to answer but he couldn't think of anything to say, so he just scratched his head. No one really asked him, and if they did he always remembered what to say but this time, strangely his mind was blanking.

"Do you know anything? Or remember anything about yourself whatsoever?" Grapey bit his lip guilty and Seokjin understood him and nodded his head. "Okay." He grabbed Grapey's arm, and looked over his shoulder at Taehyung. "Get our stuff, we'll meet you at Jimin's." Taehyung nodded his head and searched for his phone lost somewhere in the sand and Seokjin' s bag. "Come on." He and Grapey left the beach. Grapey the whole time just stared at Seokjin.

"Will you continue to stare?" Seokjin asked keeping a blank face. "Huh?" Grapey was taken aback but quickly bounced back. "Oh, sorry." Grapey looked around and noticed the dark sky and the lights in the sky. He stared at the Stars, noticing Hobi's Star, especially when Hoseok spotted Grapey and flashed his pod. Grapey started to wave at Hobi and Seokjin noticed, giving him weird looks. "What are you doing?" Seokjin dropped Grapey's arm and Grapey looked at his hand in the air and dropped it quickly to his side. "Nothing." He replied shyly. Seokjin gave him the oddest look filled his judgment. Seokjin jerked his head to one side and snapped it back into place making a 'tch' sound. "He must be a lunatic." He mumbled loud enough for Grapey to notice.

Grapey pouted and leaned into Seokjin' s ear. "I can hear you." Seokjin turned his face to Grapey and no matter how close he turned out to be he simply stated, "I know." Grapey's pout grew and he swung his arm free from Seokjin. "Where are we going?" Seokjin didn't answer and held his arm tightly and Grapey struggled to remove his hand as if he were a child, to which Seokjin tightened his grip.

"Somewhere." Seokjin looked down at his phone, following the directions to wherever they were going. Grapey noticed the alleyway and turned his head to see his pod hidden against the bushes now invisible, but he had a good eye still being able to spot it. Seokjin led Grapey to a store with it's bars already down. Outside it had a street light and a little metal chair and table with a small plant placed on it. It was a cute little shop at the end of the block and looked like it served deserts. It had a pink sign that read, "Magic Shop."

Seokjin knocked on the door and Grapey tried to stop him, thinking it was rude considering all the lights were off, but Seokjin knocked not one, but twice. Grapey was about to lecture him, telling Seokjin it was very rude to do that, but the lights inside turned on. Grapey watched it like was it magic, the lights turned on and Grapey fell in love with the little mysterious shop. He heard footsteps and from the closed wooden blinders on the window he saw footsteps. He watched the door open to reveal a small man. Grapey looked at the man as if he were an Angel, falling in love with the sweetness he emitted. Something about him was so comforting and beautiful.

"Come in, Hyung." He called Seokjin in, not even batting an eye in Grapey's way. Seokjin nodded and led Grapey inside the magical little shop. Grapey looked around the shop as the small man went behind a curtain and came out with a small china teapot he poured some tea out into a small cup and offered Seokjin some to which he shook his head no and gave it to Grapey with a smile. "Here you go love, I'll be with you in a second. Sit here." The small man pointed to the lounge area in the small shop which was much larger than it looked like outside. Grapey sat down on the cushioned couch and watched Seokjin and the mysterious man interact.

He hand small hands and pretty skin. It was fair and he wore silk. There was a receptionist table near the entrance and behind that was a wall with keys. Then there was curtain to which he guessed was the kitchen and the counter to which the china teapot sat. The whole ordeal was weird for Grapey, he couldn't believe something like this existed on Earth. He'd been here many times and all across the world never seen something like this, it reminded him of his life amongst the sky. The café's were much like this one, mysterious, holding secrets but also answers for everyone's questions. Grapey took a sip of his tea, and continued to look around.

"Hey." A soft voice called over to him. "Can you come with me?" The man smiled with his pink lips and Grapey nodded his head following his led. He led Grapey to the counter where the teapot was and Grapey set down his teacup. Seokjin stood next to him, as the man went behind the curtain and then came back with a small device. He plugged the small device in and hooked it up to the monitor next to him. Seokjin pushed Grapey towards the man as he typed away, his full focus on the monitor. When he was ready, the man turned over to Grapey.

"Can you please put your thumb to that plate?" The mans eyes disappeared as he smiled. Grapey turned to Seokjin who ushered him to do it. Grapey nodded and placed his thumb to the plate. Grapey knew what it was, it took his thumbprint to identify him, but Grapey knew that he had no records. After-all, he wasn't exactly human, or even a citizen. He squeezed his eyes tight and wished for something on the mans monitor to come up. After a moment the man behind the counter clicked and clicked away and then finally smiled.

"Well, hello, Mr. Kim." He smiled at Grapey and Seokjin lurched over to see. "You got it?" He asked and the man nodded turning the screen to Seokjin so he could see. Behind him the door opened to reveal Taehyung dusting off sand. "Did you get? What does it say?" Taehyung walked over to the three men with Seokjin' s things in his arms and his phone secure in his pocket. "It says his name is-" Seokjin took a closer look squinting his eyes.

"Kim Namjoon." The smaller man looked at Taehyung then to Grapey. "His name is Kim Namjoon."
