“I think we should go too.” Tae whispered and dragged Jimin away making sure that Yoongi wouldn’t follow them. “I have an idea” he told him once they were alone.
They were alone and finally in the comfort of Jimin’s room once Tae began talking. Both boys sitting on the huge bed their legs crossed. Jimin looked at him confused as he wanted to ask him about Jhope, to see if he was alright.
“Wait.” Jimin stopped him. “What happened with Jhope ? Are you alright? You looked so pale back there, I am worried”
“It’s fine” Tae said, letting out a heavy sigh. “I don’t think he will die; he is just badly hurt. The doctors here are taking care of him. It’s just that…he confessed to me. He said he likes me” Tae explained and Jimin gasped. He had noticed the attraction between the two and he was sure Tae liked him, but supposedly Jhope had a mate he was waiting for. He didn’t think he would actually tell him that, even if the feeling were there. “Yeah, I am as shocked as you are. I had sensed it that the feelings were mutual but in the end I told him no.”
“What? Why?”
“He is Yoongi’s best friend! He is an immortal and a werewolf not to comment on the fact that he has a mate! Dead but still a mate and he said he is waiting for her. Those are all the reasons why. And I do not want to talk about it. I…don’t think I am ready yet, sorry” mark let his head fall and he messed up his hair as if he was thinking something really hard. It was a complicated matter and Jimin did not want to pressure him.
“It’s fine. I am sure you know best and I will always support you, no matter the decision you make. Trust your heart” Jimin said and caressed his friend’s cheek before he gave him a short hug. He would do anything in his power to help him, but these decisions were his to make. He understood that no one should meddle with the troubles of the heart.
“Thanks, we will talk about it. I promise I just think now is not the right time. For the both of us.” Tae told him with a smile after their short embrace. “Now listen to me. I think we need to check out that locked wing”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you hear that idiot? The elf prince’s diary is there. I am sure if you read it you might remember something…as you know…an elf citizen. I guess” Tae suggested trying to hide the fact that he knew about Jimin’s story. He didn’t know if Jimin was aware of it yet or not but he had to give him a chance to know or maybe even a hint, unaware that Jimin already knew who he was in his past.
Jimin looked at his best friend as if he was some kind one in a lifetime genius. How could he not think of that? He would get to read his own diary. That would be perfect for him, he would get to experience though reading his memories. The problem was he wasn’t aware why Jeongguk had locked up that room though, maybe there was something there he wasn’t supposed to see, not only him but everyone. Also there was another obstacle, he didn’t know where exactly that wing was.
“I know what you’re thinking. I do happen to have found that wing when I was searching for Jhope. I got lost” He announced with a cheeky smile as Jimin rolled his eyes.
“So how do you think we should do this?” Jimin asked him wanting to hear more about this very clever plan of his.
“I think we should wait a bit more. So everyone is asleep and then we go roaming and snooping. I know where Jeongguk’ office is we will go there for the key and tomorrow while everyone is preparing for the event we can get to the wing” Tae explained and Jimin nodded. He fell back on the bed his head touching the soft and cold pillow and lifted his legs up. He could feel a bit more peaceful now, even if he just had a huge argument with Yoongi and during that time he had felt completely petrified, right now he believed he could see a bit more clearly. He had said everything he needed to say and there was nothing more for him to do so now his only worry was to actually find out who he is, remember and get back himself.
“I like your idea” He complimented him and Tae clapped.
“Perfect. So why did Yoongi had a huge bandage on him? I am sensing you must have had something to do about it”
“Yeah kind of, he just said he wanted to talk and then when I said I wanted to leave he just pushed me down. It terrified me but then Jeongguk appeared and fucking beat the shit out of him, I am telling you it was…amazing” Jimin said and his eyes immediately lit up as he spoke about the icy king. He had seemed so heroic at that moment but at the same time embraced with a very sweet and tempting darkness. It was amazing how he seemed to be able to jump out of that frenzy insanity of the bloodthirsty warrior to the charming and calm leader. Something that Yoo iwas definitely unsuccessful in.
“Oh, look at you sounding like a schoolgirl with a crush on her teacher”
“Shut up” Jimin said and threw his pillow at him, Tae catching it and hugging it tightly as he readjusted his seating position.”He has a partner though” he told Tae with a frown.
“I don’t see them anywhere around and it is unbelievably obvious that he is interested in you.” It was that or he was just super worried about the fact that their king would not be able to awaken. He didn’t want to or planned to tell Jimin that though because he could finally see an honesty in his hasty and faint smiles. He was beginning to look like himself again, taking his power in his own hands and that was what brought Tae the biggest joy. “You seem very well though, you got burned like a roasted chicken but still act fine”
“Yeah, it probably has something to do with me getting slowly my memories back. Maybe my true nature is starting to show.” He said and scratched the patch on his cheek, feeling that itchiness again. His fingertips made the poorly glued piece of fabric move and it fell onto the clean bed and Tae gasped surprised. As the green eyed boy realized what happened and noticed his reaction he covered the spot in a hurry. He was sure it was hideous. Burned and melted sin.
“Let me see” Tae said and grabbed Jimin’s wrist taking it away from his face. His honey eyes were inspecting it for a while and his lips were slightly open.
“Is it bad?” Jimin asked.
“There is nothing there” Tae mumbled and touched his cheek with his cold fingerprints.
“What?”
“It is completely healed like nothing happened.” His friend told him and immediately took a hold of one of his arms. It was wrapped tightly in bandage and with furious hands he undid it to reveal a perfect skin. No scars or signs of any near death experience, no signs of him ever being in a fire.
“God, you are completely healed.” Tae stated and Jimin nodded dumbfounded.
“I guess so” he whispered and touched his skin. It felt like always and there was nothing in the place he expected to view a disgusting sight. He was fine.
“Jimin I think you need to start finding out what’s going on with you. Things are starting to get really weird and you won’t be able to hide it for too long. Min hates you already what if he finds out about this? He will certainly try to kill you; I don’t know why but in this state you’re in danger.” Tae warned him. When everything was so unclear, when Jimin did not know the power he held inside him he didn’t know the danger he posed to others. They shouldn’t find out who he is, because in this state he was just an easy target waiting to be eliminated. “Put the patch back on” he said and began wrapping his arm again. “We will pretend we didn’t see this and in front of the wolves you will act like you are still hurt. Okay?”
“Yeah, I know. At this moment Min has his attention turned towards Jeongguk and their silly feud. It is the perfect time for me to sort things out. I don’t know why but I have a bad feeling about this party Tae.”
“I have a bad feeling about every announcement a supernatural creature makes now. It’s a trauma” Tae joked and Jimin smiled. “I think we can go now. It’s already late, look outside.” He said and his eyes traveled towards the window.
There was a deep night surrounding them with their only light a silver moon. It was beautiful, with the sheets of pure snow and the small snowflakes that rhythmically fell. It was really late indeed but for them the night had just began and it was the start of a very…interesting adventure for them.
“Yeah, let’s go get that key, if it’s really there” Jimin said and stood up.
“It will be there it’s his secret office where else would it be?” Tae told him as they headed towards the door.
“Why were you in his secret office?”
“Not to seduce him, don’t worry” Tae teased him. “Come on it is time to play spy.”
