Chapter 3❄️
Kim Seokjin was having jaw dropped by looking at the stranger in front of him. Well, not a stranger anymore since they got acquainted with their names. The person who introduced himself as the King was eating his breakfast like it was his last day on the earth.
After their introductions, Seokjin brought Jungkook to his rented apartment. He was thankful that everyone where asleep, since he didn't want his nosy neighbors to see his guest. He would get tired of answering their silly questions. They both didn't have time to sleep because Seokjin was busy in getting to know about Jungkook's background.
And whatever Jungkook claimed was true. First thing Jin did was google it, and he did found Jungkook's name which said to be the King of Joseon dynasty. The portrait resembled somewhat like the person in his house. And the more he studied in the website, the more he started to believe his guest.
He understood that Jungkook's grandfather had used black magic to save his grandson. And with the help of witches, he was successful in teleporting to a different world. But the problem was, neither Jungkook nor Seokjin knew how to go back where he was from. No one knew black magic, and it was forbidden by the law.
So Seokjin decided to visit Halmoni in the Tarot shop, since she was the one who could tell about future. Kim Seokjin had informed his office that he would be late for his meeting since he wanted to accompany Jungkook to the Tarot shop. So he had asked his best friend, Park Jimin to fill his position and continue with the presentation which he had already mailed it.
"Eat slowly, Mr. Wrong world. You are going to get choked." Kim Seokjin whispered and he was getting terrified of Jungkook's eating style. The other was digging the pasta which Jin had prepared in the morning since he didn't want the other to starve. But by looking at the almost empty pot, Seokjin knew that he should be buying something for him in a store.
"Itws Tastwtyy." Jungkook mumbled with mouth full of pasta making Seokjin to grin lightly. The other had never eaten such foods in his Kingdom, and he was getting addicted.
Seokjin looked at his phone and it was almost nine past thirty. So he got up and went to his bedroom to get changed. His clothes were already dry but still he felt itchiness. He knew he had to leave for work after the meeting with Halmoni, so he changed to a suit and came out only to see Jungkook drinking some water.
"Aren't you going to change?" Jungkook turned around while gulping the water and shook his head negatively. Kim Seokjin was starting to get headache by thinking how to hide this person from everyone's eyes.
"I have nothing, Seokjin. Do you know where I can get my other Hanboks?"
Oddly, Kim Seokjin loved how his name was pronounced by Jungkook. He felt like it was sweet dipped in honey voice. But he immediately shook his thoughts and looked professionalism.
"Before that, let's find out a way to take you back to your Kingdom. Come on let's go, Mr. Wrong world." Jin walked past Jungkook who was pouting cutely. But he knew that he should go back to his kingdom as soon as possible since his grandfather would be very much worried for him.
They both started to walk down the apartment with several eyes looking at them. But Jungkook got used to it since in his Kingdom people always looked at him and adored him very much. But Seokjin was not a fan of attention. He disliked people who stare at him and that kind of creeps him out.
"Why are you calling me Mr. Wrong world?"
The question made Seokjin to smile softly. He casually walked in the sidewalk along with Jungkook who was following him like a lost puppy.
"Well, I am not going to address you as King or Lord or whatever. Why ? You don't like it? Should I call you by your name?" To which Jungkook immediately shook his head as a "No." He was not comfortable with Seokjin calling him by his name.
Soon both of them walked silently with Jungkook wandering his eager eyes everywhere around the streets, while Seokjin was busy in looking after Jungkook to make sure that the other was following him.
With fifteen minutes of fast walking, both of them found themselves sitting in the same place where Seokjin usually sat whenever he visited the Tarot shop. He was having hard time by controlling Jungkook's hands from touching anything.
"Shh~ Don't touch, Mr. Wrong World." Seokjin said with a firm tone and soon both of them stiffened when they heard some footsteps. They both turned their attention to the old lady who was finding her way to her seat.
"She looks old, Seokjin. You sure this will work?" Jungkook leaned to Seokjin's ears to whisper his heart out only to get a stern look from the other.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Jungkook shook his head with a pout making Jin to sigh heavily.
"Well, we got no other choice then." Seokjin whispered back before turning his attention to Halmoni who was analyzing both of his customers.
"H-Halmoni, we need your help." With that Kim Seokjin started to explain everything that had happened in the last twenty four hours. And Jungkook being a good boy was nodding his head along with Jin's words. The Halmoni was deeply focused on Jungkook's features and thinking in her head.
After hearing the events, without expressing any words the Halmoni started to close her eyes and whispered something in a way only she could hear. Jungkook exchanged his looks with Seokjin who gave a firm nod signaling him that 'It will work.'
The two customers eagerly looked at Halmoni who was shuffling the cards on the desk and picked a card out of the bundle. Their eyes were fixed on the drawn card which showed a picture of a King along with a queen. Being confused, both men waited for the other to explain further.
"If I am right, whatever the person who claims to be the King said was true. And yes, he is from a different world." Jin looked at Jungkook who was looking proudly at him by raising his eyebrows. He could phrase that the other was saying 'Duh!' in his own sign language.
"There's a saying 'Use a thorn to remove a thorn.'
If he had used black magic to come here then we must use the same black magic to send him to his home." A gasp escaped both of the men's lips in surprise.
Of course drowning in the water wasn't going to take Jungkook home but rather heaven. They knew that they depended on this Halmoni for now.
"And that's why I brought him to you. Do you have idea how this works?" A hum played in Halmoni's lips and her wrinkled fingers were caught between her chapped lips while thinking about a way.
"I have no experience with black magic. But my ancestors did. I have the notes written by them. But it might take some time to excel in black magic."
"H-How much time do you want, Halmoni?" Jin questioned quickly because he wasn't going to wait so long since he didn't want the other to stay in his apartment for so long either.
"It might take some days, some months or even some years."
"Y-Years?" Jungkook whined with a pout and his eyes were tearing up by thinking about his grandpa in their kingdom. On the other side, Jin leaned back on his seat like his soul had left his body. How was he going to keep up with this stranger for the mean time?
"Don't worry! I will do my best. And when I am ready, the universe will call you, Seokjin. Until then, take care."
Kim Seokjin knew that he could trust the Halmoni. With a nod, he stood up along with Jungkook who mirrored his action. Jin bowed to the old woman and started to walk out of the shop followed by a clueless Jungkook.
The Halmoni had a victory smile before looking at the two men who were from two different worlds walking out of her shop.
"The destiny has started to play her own game. Let's see who wins."
