"Enough, come out now or you'll fall sick."

Jungkook called her softly from behind. Y/n looked at him but his smile faltered when her frivolous expressions suddenly turned hard. She turned his back on him and stood up. Jungkook's heart skipped a beat when Y/n started hopping from one stone to another and crossed the river.

"NO, DON'T GO TOO FAR!!" He shouted in fear and dashed to her.

"No flying!!", Y/n shrieked when Jungkook caught her within a blink of an eye and draped her drenched figure in his black wings.

"What?" Her words made him baffled.

But ignoring him, Y/n quickly moved away from him. Jungkook tried to hold her again but raised her palms before his face, "If you want to catch me, run but don't fly. The one who breaks this rule will be punished."

With that, she again disappeared into the woods leaving Jungkook shocked. He remained rooted in his place till his mind registered her words.

And the moment it clicked him, he let out a frustrated groan.

"Are you for real Y/n?"

He sighed exasperatedly while glaring at her small figure peeking from the bushes.

"Well, I am coming then kiddo," muttering under his breath, Jungkook withdrew his wings and started chasing her.

Y/n jerked up from her sleep holding her chest.

"It felt too real. Too real," she continuously mumbled under her breath. Her hair was all damp with some wet strands sticking on her forehead. She stared at the four walls with wide-open eyes while catching her breath. That deep voice continued ringing in her ears on a loop.

"Princess," the word rolled off her tongue on her own volition. The dream wasn't just a mere hallucination rather it felt more like nostalgia. A memory. A moment she has lived once before.

Her face scrunched in discomfort as she felt her chest writhing as she recalled that unpleasant dream. Squirming on the mattress, she pulled her knees closer to her chest and rubbed her arms together to calm herself.

"Princess"

"No, stop" Y/n cried, covering her ears with her palms. Ever since she returned from the Deathly Caves, she has been haunted by this memory which unknown to her was a piece of her beautiful past. She had lived that moment before with the love of her life.

Y/n was now regretting not listening to Jimin. She was now facing the consequences of touching the forbidden.

A frown marred her face remembering the Deathly Caves, "How come Jimin wasn't able to see the blue hal-"

She abruptly stopped when an eerie feeling of being watched struck her. Alarmed, she quickly looked around but her eyes rounded to the size of saucers witnessing the same halo she saw in the woods in her room.

"Oh my God," she awed. Her fear was quickly replaced with astonishment. Pushing the covers away with her feet, she clumsily got off the bed, her blue eyes never leaving the shimmery ball of light occupying her room.

Her lips curved in a smile.

"I told Jimin that I ain't lying but he just didn't believe me." Y/n enthused while bouncing forward like a kid. The sea shining with glitters pouring into her room through the left wall left her gasping for breath as it was ethereal. The urge to feel it propelled her feet forward. She was so dazed by the magical waterfall that she didn't bother to check the fountainhead. There was a huge hole in the left wall of the room from where the crystalline droplets were trickling.
