Chapter 4

Park Jimin

With a graceful flutter of my wings, I elegantly glide through Taehyung's window, announcing my arrival with a gentle rustle. As I transform into my human form, he is greeted with the sight of my stunning presence.

I receive a hug from him that was so tight, I thought I was going to meet my maker. He is grinning from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat on catnip.

"My friend finally understands that I am not a ghost , I'm a living human as he meets me after centuries. I thought I needed to take appointments ."
"Apologies, I've been in a heated battle with the university's workload and a few rogue thoughts. But fear not, my friends can meet me without appointments atleast !"

He chuckles .

He spins me around like a whirlwind and drags me through the hall, as if we're auditioning for a chaotic dance routine. His mansion resembles a museum of ancient stuffs , with vintage furniture that has seen better days, walls that could use some renovations before they drop on us , and gates that sound like they're auditioning for a horror movie soundtrack.

After what feels like an eternity, we finally make it to the drawing room, where he proudly points at a half-worn bean bag as if it's a throne fit for a king. I obediently plop myself down, while he takes a seat in the opposite couch across the firewood.

His fireplace throws out a decent amount of energy, or at least that's what I gathered as I flew through the freezing atmosphere for a thousand miles, risking the frostbite of my precious balls.

As he gazes upon my state with a full pity, he can't help but shake his head in disbelief. Rising to his feet, he brings me a dazzling off-white satin shirt. He knew, when I morphed into a majestic phoenix, I carelessly left it behind. Without a second thought, I slip into the shirt with an air of a new , and that's when he decides to strike up a conversation.

"So..... What made you come here ?"
"I am done ."
"No , I can see that you're alive " he throws me a boxy smile , his smile card never refuses .
"I mean now I am not going to hesitate to cut off the dick of that old freak ."

I am bound to this hybrid man as a son, whose heart is as black as coal. A curse has shackled me to him like a loyal pet, and let me tell you, these pets possess more power than the hybrids themselves. We once resided in moonland, but it was far from a utopia. He treated my mother like utter shit, until she could no longer bear it and took her own life. This was only the beginning of his twisted behavior.

It was clear that he never loved my mother, he only married her to secure a small portion of the inheritance and to have a child. His heart belonged to his best friend's wife, and when she refused him, he killed his friend and forced himself upon her until she too, took her own life. His actions were sickening.

But it didn't stop there. He began to kidnap children, starting with his friend's child, and then moving on to the offspring of the most powerful businessman in moonland. No one dared to speak out against him, as he had all the executives wrapped around his finger. He used these poor children to do his bidding, forcing them to commit heinous acts. He became the ruler of moonland, wiping out his competition and even stealing from his own brothers. The family drama was unbearable.

However, fate had other plans for him. The maestros, whoever they may be, cursed my father. I am unaware of the specifics, but it must be a terrible curse indeed. And just when you thought he couldn't sink any lower, he fell in love with a dayling. When she rejected him, he killed her. He is a monster.

Now, he is being hunted by daylings in moonland, and he drags me along, pretending that we are innocent daylings , trying to blend in. We received help from the mayor to get here, but there is a sixth mayor that only my father knows about. Who knows what other schemes he has planned, but I am exhausted from this madness.

Training with those juvenile kids was the most challenging part for me. However, my memory of that time is hazy as I suffered a severe accident in the dayland , which not only caused the robbery of my memory but also disfigured my face. I had to undergo a surgical procedure to regain my human appearance.

While Taehyung finally manages to bring his head back, he's all like, "Dude, you seriously have some major issues with this guy, huh?"

Hell yeah! As I told he had ruined his life, no probs, until he redirected his mission on destroying my life.

"Obviously, I hold some grudges against him "

He gives me a nod of understanding and goes, "I totally believe you, bro."

"So spill it, what's your brilliant plan?" I ask, trying to hide my amusement, because stabbing my dad in his sleep is definitely not on my list of 'creative ways to chopp off your dad's head '.

He shakes his head and says, "Nah, I've got something way better in mind. We'll tickle him to death."

I can't help but burst out laughing. "Come on, man! This is serious!"

He pauses for a moment, then continues, "Alright, fine. First things first, we need to uncover the mystery of the elusive sixth mayor."

I raise an eyebrow. "And what's next?"

"First, just do as I say," he says, his voice suddenly taking on a commanding tone. Even his voice is bipolar, not just his face.

I roll my eyes and retort, "Easy for you to say. How the hell am I supposed to do that?"

He is stopped by a sudden thud on the door. He flinches as he goes to open the door.

As I take a moment to survey my surroundings, my eyes wander across the room, taking in the old, stroke-painted masterpieces that adorn the walls. The floor beneath me is draped in a luxurious beige rug, adding a touch of elegance to the space. In the corner, a stunning antique copper vase catches my eye, standing out amongst the other decor. I sink into one of the two well-loved brown bean bags, feeling the comfort of the plush cushions. Across from me, a cozy couch beckons, inviting me to relax and unwind. Despite the cracks that decorate the light brown walls, the room exudes a charmingly vintage aesthetic with the best accessories suiting it , with a minimalist touch that is both timeless and chic.

I start hearing these familiar faint voices echoing down the never-ending hallway. And guess what? One of those voices belongs to none other than Taehyung himself. But hold up, there's another voice that sounds eerily similar. As they emerge from the shadows, I spot the radiant Wang So Hee strolling in with Taehyung. These two are like the perfect embodiment of Lee Su Ho and Han So Jun from true beauty, and let me tell you, they exude an intimidatingly close vibe.

But wait a minute, Wang So Hee ?

I must have blurted that out loud because Wang So Hee locks eyes with me and shoots a quick glance at Taehyung. Taehyung's puzzled expression suddenly straightens out.

"What on earth are you guys keeping from me?" I demand, fixing my gaze on Taehyung, because it's pretty obvious that they're hiding something. Wang So Hee, or as I like to call her, my amiga [ because let's be real 1. Her name is too long to be said so frequently 2. It doesn't suit her personality (she never speaks until needed ) that I observed in one day 3. She cant be called mother, aunt, granny, girlfriend, fiancée, niece, fuckmate, or any other relations so that's what I'd prefer ] , butts in with a tense smile.

"Heya, what you doing here?" she asks, clearly trying to divert the attention. I decide to respond in her own mysterious style.

"I believe I am interrogating Taehyung," I say, dramatically pointing towards where Taehyung was supposed to be standing.

She raises an eyebrow, so I turn my head to find absolutely no one there. Well played, Taehyung, well played.

"Looks like Taehyung vanished into thin air, just like the truth you guys are hiding from me," I say with a smirk.

She's so chill, she just flops onto the bean bag like a boss and starts scrolling through her phone with those gorgeous, vein-ridden hands of hers.

Jimin , zip it ! We're not in the mood of sexy thoughts right now.

I give her a good once-over as I holler for Taehyung.
"Hey, Tae?" I say not using the normal 'Taehyung' but 'Tae' because If she thinks she's closer to Taehyung than me, she's got another thing coming. I've known him forever, and she can't just barge into our conversation. Time to up the ante and make it clear who's who.

Bullseye! My amiga gives me a side-eye, and then showers her sight towards Taehyung's room before storming off in that direction.

Hold up, I gotta have a quick chat with Taehyung before she starts going on and on about who knows what. She's all cool and everything, but I've got important stuff to take care of right now, and she can't be interrupting. So I get up and make my way over to her, grabbing her by the wrist.

Her wrist feels warm against my icy hands, sending some weird warmth all the way to my chest. She wrinkles her nose, looking at my hands, and says, "Seriously, you're so clingy. Let go, or do you want log lessons right now?"

"No way, we were in the middle of a conversation before you showed up. I need to finish up before you talk to him," I reply.

"It's not my problem that he doesn't want to talk to you, but fine, gentlemen first," she says, moving her tiny self out of the way and giving me a clear path to Taehyung's bedroom.

I escort myself into Taehyung's chamber and slam the door shut. Just as I shut the door, I witness my amiga performing a grand eye-rolling spectacle.

I can't help but chuckle and say, "Keep rolling those stunning eyes, my dear, and you might just stumble upon a lost brain in there."

She shoots me some deadly glares before I could see a small smile on her face as she turns away.
It somehow has officially come on my to do list to make that smile come back on her face even if that takes my time.
I seal the door, only to discover Taehyung clutching a gem of vibrant violet hue, delicately wrapped in a handkerchief.

In a vibrant shade of purple, this gem boasts a thunderbolt-esque wave trapped within, giving off a lovely lilac hue. Its shape is as unpredictable as my dance moves after a few drinks, but my trusty brain cells dedicated to mental ability assure me that if I were to combine this gem with the one in my necklace, they would fuse together to create a solid gem of epic proportions, like a helical gem on steroids.

I catch Taehyung eyeing it with suspicion, so I can't help but inquire, "Whose gem is this ?"

"None of your buisness," he retorts, rudely brushing me off.

"Well, that stings right here," I say, dramatically pointing to my chest just above my heart.

"Listen up, pal. I'm a maestro, a master of all trades. It's my duty to assist every soul on this planet with their grand plans. I can't go around spilling the beans on people's secrets, plans, or their precious possessions. I apologize for that, but there's not much I can do," he explains, flashing a smile that could charm the pants off a snake.

"So... you just vanished into thin air. I mean, Wang So Hee swooped in and stole all your attention. We were in the middle of something important, and poof! You were gone," I press, demanding answers.

"Hey, my bad. Sorry about that," he sheepishly admits.

I knew he wouldn't spill the beans about why she showed up, so I slyly twist my question, "Do you happen to be acquainted with Wang So Hee?"

He hesitates for a moment, but eventually responds, "Yeah, I do."

"For how long?" I inquire, hoping to uncover some juicy details.

"About three years, I think?" he replies, sounding just as confused as I am. Does he not have all the answers either?

"Alright, no more So Hee talk," I declare, putting an end to that line of questioning

"Finally, something cool," he chuckles, placing the gem on the luxurious king-sized bed covered in fancy linen.

But my gaze remains fixated on the stone. You know, what if it's like one of those movies where it holds the key to something extraordinary? The possibilities are endless!

Park Jimin, wake up from dreams and welcome to reality.

"So, how am I supposed to find 6th mayor ?"

"Nah, that's ancient history. We've got a fresh blueprint now."

"Go on."

"Ah, I see you're still seeking sweet revenge."

"Yup."

"Well, Hy-uh-Wang So Hee is on the hunt too. You two could join forces and conquer together. Your powers and her brain are a match made in heaven. Think about it, it's a no-brainer."

Sounds great, I can atleast have a companion till the end.
