Rewinding the time 3 hrs ago

"Jungkook, You are…. sparing them?" Namjoon was taken back as he inspected the occasion.

"They followed me till here." Listening to his speech Jungkook could see Namjoon was about to cry, so this young man ruined the act of 'kind prince', "It would be too much work to carry the corpse."

Namjoon stood silent.

While they recomposed our hearts, Yoongi walked to Jungkook “Why are you so willing to get down there?”

“What do you seek to imply?”

“Jungkook, everyone is well aware that, quite time has passed, His Majesty arrested in Corvina's lair.”

“Don't talk in circles, Hyung. It irritates me.”

Things didn't pass as planned, they just aimed to cross the ocean to go to the other shore but little did they forget, the ocean is unpredictable. Storms have close friendships with waves, they will come and sink the ship.

The journey to Corvina is the same but different, the storm lived there. In every step, it tried to shink their ship by death, shadows and betrayal. But who can sail without wind? Who can value trust without betrayal? Who can live in light without shadow?

But the thing that is of significance is what is the motive behind all these?

For the King? Who is about to die from the start? Or to collect his corpse which will decompose in the air? Or to kill that one whose motive was to kill the king? Or just to walk to the danger?

Neither!

Yoongi knows who all this is for, in fact everyone knows but the problem is Jungkook himself doesn't know who he is doing this for. Or he knows but doesn't want to accept. Who knows?

Scrutinizing the tone of Jungkook's voice and the occasion, Yoongi decided to be straightforward about the matter.

“Considering the enemy's hatred for His Majesty and the time, We all know that we won't find him there. Not alive if so. His prophecy, before closing eyes, is known throughout the kingdom.”

Jungkook's memory rolled back to the day When Vincent, His father and the King of Serendipity, closed his eyes and fell into deep sleep.

“Listen son, if you must, listen with great care to what I have to say, since Serendipity will be in your hands. Time has aged me and my eyes are too heavy to even open. This is the time, I shall tell you what you should know.”

The father laid on the bed, eager to tell his son the truths he held in his heart. Jungkook clenched his hands with his father. All ears on. He said, “I'm listening, father.”

“The world is nothing, but full of wonders. For it bore light, All Mighty has balanced it with darkness. What is made, is destined to meet the catastrophe. And I must inform you, my son, the world's balance will waver. But worry not. All Mighty has made the way, Humans are fascinating creatures, the one who bore the purest heart will come and balance the dark with the light. And you must protect them, for the life of your people.”

And that's how the whole kingdom was inherited upon Jungkook's shoulders. But he didn't take the courtesy of the King, the young boy denied that his father's demise will be in sleep. He scanned the whole kingdom finding the human his father talked about but all he met was disappointment. When Serendipity was not enough he went to the mortal world in search.

After all the brain crushing and madness, he finally sensed something. It was her. Rose, he was finding her and finally found her.

“Jungkook?” Yoongi snapped him back to the present.
