Loyal Servant (Jensoo)

Chapter 9 - Wishing for a Friend

(I wanna start with other characters so let's start with Nayeon a character I'll put way later on lol.)

*Nayeon POV*

I was alone again as always. It's always been true that the kingdom of the Green is a kind country especially when your an outsider but when you're different from the day you have been born glares would be haunting you for life.

I am Im Nayeon and life in this kingdom is cruel especially when they discriminate you just because of my pure black eyes and whats worst is that I had no one to be with. My parents weren't here and all I have left is nothing. I was loner wishing for friends at a tree in a forest.

I stood at the forest with nothing but emptiness in my eyes. "Lord...please...I want a friend...that's all I wish for." I started praying as tears begin to flow. Never in my life has been so desperate. I kept seeing laughter, smiles and happiness from other kids around my age and it pains me to see so clearly that I was an outcast in the very own town I live and born in.

I knelt done on my knees and started crying and praying harder. "I want someone to atleast talk to..." I said as tears fell on the groud. I prayed over and over to the forest spirit if there was one though. I only heard myths and legends about it from the people around here.

I truly wish they were real though but fairytales only happen in books. I finished what I did and went to the lake nearby. The river is the only thing close to a sea since I am too afraid to even be at the sea. It scares me to see the sea as when I look at it, it makes me feel like I'm getting drowned just by looking at it.

I looked around knowing no one is here but I still hoped there was. Atleast someone to have company with after a very long while. I couldn't recall when was the last time I spent with someone.
I looked at the reflection at the water. "Look how pathetic you are Nayeon." I told myself in my head knowing how much it's gonna hurt me considering my low self-esteem.

I left the forest after praying at a tree as usual and I'm starting to loose hope if anyone would answer my prayers.

*Rosé POV*

The girl with beautiful black eyes came again into the forest to pray and I feel so hopeless. I wish I had a body. As a spirit of the forest I can never give myself a body for personal use but I also can't stand just watching her becoming weaker day by day.

"Someone...offer me a body...I need to help her."  I thought before I sighed as I continued watching her as an unseen ghost.

A few days later I woke up in the forest now having a human body. What's more convenient is that I already have clothes on. I decided to find this Nayeon girl and be the friend she always wished for. I wanted to end her misery and I want her to change into a normal person. A person that can experience happiness and not only negative emotions.

I saw her sitting beside the tree and I have a gut feeling that she was crying. "Hey are you ok?" I asked with a smile and the girl looked confused. "W-who are you?" She asked backing away.

"I'm not gonna hurt you." I said offering my hand to her. She hesitated for a bit but excepted it either way. We went back to town to get some food for her but I didn't expect getting a lot of attention to the point that many people were amazed and started offering me food. I declined some of them as I do not need that many.

"Here eat some." I said giving her a piece of bread. "Can I really have this?" She said unsure. "Of course! Say I never got your name." I asked already knowing that her name was Nayeon but I wanted to make it natural so I asked.

She took the bread and answered. "I'm Im Nayeon." She said before chomping her bread. "Hello Nayeon I'm Chaeyoung but you can call me Rosé." I said offering her another piece of bread since I noticed she finished it already.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" She suddenly asked which made me caught off guard. She's right. Why am I being nice to her? Is it because of pity? Her wishes? I eventually got the answer.

"I want to be your friend Nayeon!" I said with a soft smile which suddenly got Nayeon in tears. "Ah ah don't cry." I said a bit confused why she suddenly started crying.

"Why do you want to be friends with me? I'm useless, ugly, pathetic and I don't even have anything that can give value to me!" She yelled crying. "I don't believe that." I said. "You're not useless and I can proudly say that you're beautiful. Your black eyes compliments your own unique character and you don't need materials to have value." I said hugging her as she cried.

"I told you! I want to be your friend no matter what." I said and she stopped crying. "Thank you...thank you...thank you so much Rosé." She said as she faced me. "Don't thank me." I said.

"The Gods and spirits of this forest heared your prayers Nayeon." I thought as I smiled at the poor bunny that finally didn't felt alone.

*Nayeon POV*

My life became better just after one person came into my life. She was kind, beautiful and very talented. I never really expected my wish to come true but it did. We lived in a small house together, nothing special. When we were out to buy some things I asked her if I could go to the forest for a while.

She agreed nonetheless. I went towards the lake and remembered what I used to be. A pathetic fool that found her worth when someone gave them a chance. I promised myself to be someone as kind as my friend.

"Thank you. For appearing in my life."
