UNUM (YOONMIN•ON-GOING)

Chapter 30

Reach into the chasm
To find yourself within
Tell the young to be brave
And when they shall begin
To venture alone
Hold onto what you can let go

Jimin woke up from a familiar voice singing a song to him and that was when he fully realised, that was Mr. Bang whisper-singing to him as he caressed Jimin's hair.

He have no idea when and how he fell asleep but maybe because the movie they had watched bored the hell out of him and the last thing he wants to do rather than asking his butler to change the movie midway was to just continue watching until he fall asleep, and he did.

He pressed his head against Mr. Bang's thigh as deep as he can, if that is even possible, allowing for the butler to know that Jimin was already awake. He smiled softly at him even when the young one wasn't aware of it.

"Have you slept well, my dear?"

Jimin nods.

"I'm hungry," he murmured, pouting.

"There's nothing to cook,"

"Huh? What do you mean? We never ran out of food." replied Jimin, bewildered of what his butler had just told him. It's true though. They never ran out of food. Mr. Bang always makes sure there's food always in stock and ready for them to eat. Surely, Mr. Bang's just kidding, right?

"We just did."

"What?" Jimin rose and looks at him, "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Mr. Bang shook his head. Uh-oh.

Jimin sighed. Maybe Mr. Bang was just tired and forgot that there's no more food for them to eat. He'll just ask him to join him do the grocery later. He'll just have to prepare first before they go out. It's not a big of a deal that this is the first time this happened. It's not like Mr. Bang isn't getting younger anyway. He giggles at the thought of it.

"Let's go to the grocery then! I'll just wash my face and change my clothes, yeah?"

Mr. Bang shook his head with a chuckle.

"Did I say something funny?"

"You were never a fan of the outside world, Jimin but today you seem enthusiastic to go out. I wonder if something happened while I was away,"

"Nothing much. As you can see, I was taking my nap when you found me in the library. Change can be good sometimes."

"I know, and it suits you. I wish I was there to see it first hand."

Jimin's eyebrows turn into a frown. Why does he speak to me like he's not real right now? Jimin asked himself. It can't be that he's dreaming, right? Oh, if Jimin only realise from the beginning, but where's the fun in that?

"Anyway, I'm gonna prepare now! I'll just be quick!" he says before running out of the theatre room, leaving Mr. Bang with a heavy sighed escaping his lips.

The more Jimin stays, the more it is hard to make him go back but Mr. Bang knows better. Jimin does not belong here. He is destined to be in a place where he can hone and spread his knowledge and to be love by the people around him not just him. Jimin deserves what he wasn't able to experience in his previous life. He now got people who truly misses him and needs him. Jimin is not alone and will never be alone even if he is not with him. He has faith to Jimin's fate.

Meanwhile, Yoongi was sitting on the edge of the bed as he stares down at Jimin's sleeping frame. He is now much paler than the first night he was laid on their bed. The king don't understand why he hasn't woken up if Jimin is truly fighting for his will to live. He's now on his seventh day being unconscious, a regular mortal, even a true-blood witch cannot surpass more than five days of being unconscious even if it was caused by a spell but Jimin, even with jaggered breathing is still giving them hope that he will live. Well, he probably should as the king by now is going crazy, asking for a miracle to happen which is something that even Yoongi himself didn't see doing for someone he considers an enemy. He truly hates the witches but probably not Taehyung and Jimin. Not them.

"Can you even hear me talking while you're here, sleeping like a princess than a prince? Do you really like my bed that much? Was it that soft that you keep pretending to be asleep or was it my scent that you like so much? Perhaps me being kind to you? Tell me," he says, talking to the witch like he's going to answer him. Yoongi chuckles. Well, yeah, he might as well really be going crazy doing all these just for him to wake up and banter with him like they usually do.

"Will you wake up if I kiss you on your lips just like one of the stories you once told Boongi that you thought only he was able to hear?" Yoongi can't help not to hide his mischievous grin as he ask an unconscious Jimin that question. The king can't help not to lick his lips as he stares at the witch's lips. It isn't like he wants to pry at Jimin's privacy but sometimes he was just curious of what he's like when he is by himself. Luckily, everytime Yoongi will check up on either Boongi or Jimin, he hasn't caught him yet using his magic, otherwise we cannot say for sure how the king will react or would have done if he found out earlier than expected.

Jimin, whenever he decides not to work on with the hourglass, or learn about his magic secretly, aside from sneaking out the palace to see his friends, will often tell tales of the stories that he had read and watched in his previous life to Boongi like it was his child. One of the tales that Jimin told Boongi, the first time Yoongi was able to pry successfully was of The Sleeping Beauty and it caught the king's attention on how fascinating it was hearing the witch tell tales especially to a creature Yoongi didn't think no one else's appreciates truly except him and the people close to him.

As said before, Boongi, even though was created by witches, don't like the creature itself. They only created it for the sole purpose of having Yoongi killed flawlessly without getting their hands dirty which unfortunately didn't happen as it seem to have taken a liking to the king and has a soul of an innocent kid, scared to hurt anyone.

He remembers how absorb he was the first time that he almost forgot he got a lot of thing to finish, that he just wants to continue listening to Jimin's telling tales to Boongi. Kind of jealous too, that only the blob could enjoy that side of the witch he hopes he can too. Maybe, once Jimin wakes up he could.

He'll ask him to tell him tales too before they go to sleep or whenever he's bored to do anything except from listening to Jimin.

Absentmindedly, Yoongi held Jimin's right hand and warm it with his two hands as he continously stare at the witch's pale face.

"Nevermind the things I had told you before, forget it. If you decide to wake up, which I truly hope you do, I'll grant whatever pleas you will ask me to do for you. If I have to bow before you, I will. I just need you here, Jimin. No one else I want right now but you."
