"Are you really going to do this?" Jimin asked, eyeing you with worry reflecting in his eyes.

You put his hoodie on, the one that the wore when he stole the key. You gave him a nod, "There's no one else but me."

"I can!"

You rolled your eyes, "Jimin, I can't risk any of you."

"But..." You raised a brow at him, he pouted, "What if they caught you?"

You smiled and ruffled his hair, "I can manage." You exited his room as he tailed behind you and headed to the living room where the other members are.

"Guardian, let me go with you." Namjoon said and his eyes were pleading.

You shook your head, "No. That's my order." He sighed and messed his hair in frustration.

"You guys should ready because when I'm back, I'll explain to you everything. Followed by our travel back to the past." They gave you a nod.

"I'll go now." You smirked and waved at them, you made a brief eye contact with Hoseok before your mist fully engulfed your figure.

"That's," Jungkook and Jimin looked at each other then squealed, "Cool!"

You teleported in the middle of the forest, in front of the spirit world.

You pulled the hoodie over your head and concealed half of your face, you walked towards the biggest and oldest tree which manages the barrier between the spirit and mortal world.

Most of its leaves were dry and it was obvious that the tree was losing its life causing for the barrier to weaken and disappear.

You took the box out and placed your finger above the finger scanner. When it clicked open, you took the key out and let it float its way towards the tree.

A hole, which has the same shape as the key, in the tree's trunk opened. The hole and the key made contact as you closed your eyes and hold onto a tree when a blinding light surrounded the whole forest, followed by a strong wind.

The blinding light disappeared but the strong wind remained, so you use your power to protect yourself. You wore your hoodie again which fell earlier due to the wind.

You saw the CCTV and smirked, you showed your face and waved before stepping back.

The spirit world began to float with the fog starting to engulf it until it disappear from your sight and the barrier shoot out from the tree and crept up in the air until it finally closed. Keeping the mortal and spirit world separated again.

You sighed, your mist rose from your feet until it swallowed your figure. The forest finally being left quiet and peaceful again.

You teleported back to the dorm and took off Jimin's hoodie before you began to look for the members.

You found them at the kitchen, thanks to their loud voices. They are eating midnight snacks.

"Y/n!" Hoseok happily walked towards you, relief was written all over his face. You frowned at his outfit, wondering if he's wearing the same clothes for the past months.

"Guardian!" Jungkook rushed towards you, "Did they saw you?"

You shook your head and accepted the peeled apple that Taehyung handed to you, "I showed myself to them."

Coughs resounded and you just blinked at them, they all turned to you, "Why?!"

"They can't harm me." You took a bite of your apple.

"So, what is the explanation you are talking about earlier?"

*

"Superior."

Superior marched inside the headquarters, his brows furrowed due to the earthquake he felt earlier– well, that's what he thinks.

"What is the cause of the earthquake?" He asked one of the heads.

But before the head could talk, the door of the office on the side opened, where the assigned securities to watch for the mortal world are.

"Superior, you have to see this."

He didn't waste any time and entered the office with his right hand behind him, a CCTV footage was being played at the screen.

"That's the same person who stole the key." Jin Goo said.

"What is that thin–"

"That's the key!"

Jin Goo walked closer to the screen and everyone was speechless when the person pulled the hoodie down.

The Superior clenched his fist, his eyes glowing mad, "Jin Goo."

"Y-yes, Superior?"

"Prepare her punishment. For now, let her enjoy her time in the mortal world."
