Hello, beautiful readers.

I'm super excited to write Tae's character! For those of you who know me, you know that Alice in Wonderland is my favorite book and movie. I just hope I do the character justice.

Enjoy, babies!❤️

Well, alrighty then...

You puffed out your cheeks in discomfort at the tense atmosphere that filled the large room in which all of you stood.

After Jimin's previous statement, the room had fallen into a heavy silence.

Being the awkward human that you were, you had no idea how you were supposed to handle situations like this. Should you say something? Should you just stay quiet?

You sighed quietly.

This is why you became a librarian...so you wouldn't have to talk to people.

Anyone who dared try and talk to you would either get shushed or get stared down until they left of their own accord.

It was a beautiful thing.

"Is that so?" Jungkook finally spoke, growling out his question.

Your eyes moved to Jimin who, of course, was staring directly at you with intensity in his bright blue eyes.

Geez. It was like these guys were on a mission to make you uncomfortable.

Awkwardly, you cleared you throat, taking a small step forward.

"I don't mean to interrupt," You started quietly, catching everyone's attention. "But, I am just an innocent bystander in all of this and I would really prefer not to be brought into.."

You paused, looking around before motioning between the two royals.

"....whatever this is." You finished.

Jimin raised an eyebrow at you, eyeing your small form for a few brief moments, before his hard gaze fell onto Namjoon.

"Why have you brought these people here?" He spat. "Outsiders are forbidden, you of all people should know this."

The young hunter ran a hand through his dirty blond hair.

"I know." He started hesitantly, his eyes darting around the room. "B-But, they aren't outsiders. Each of them have a story."

You watched as the blond-haired royal arched his perfect eyebrow.

"Everyone?" He breathed, his bright blue eyes slowly falling onto you.

You swallowed hard, suddenly feeling extremely small under his heavy gaze.

Namjoon let out a huff, ruffling his dirty blond hair and placing his hand on his hip as he eyed you.

"Well," He began with an uncertain tone. "I'm not so sure about her."

Your eyes never left Jimin's, and his eyes never left yours, not even for a single moment.

"If she didn't have a story, she wouldn't be here." Jungkook reasoned.

Jimin looked toward the younger male, eyes narrowing.

"You know the law, Jungkook. No outsiders."

The chestnut-haired prince frowned deeply, taking a step towards the blond-haired prince.

"She isn't an outsider!" He yelled. "She has magic in her. I can tell!"

Jimin rolled his eyes, beginning to walk down the marble staircase.

"Your mind is clouded." He deadpanned.

The golden-eyes prince shook his head.

"It's not!" He shouted. "I can tell that something is different with her! She isn't like all the others! I feel like- I feel like she's part of my story, Jimin!"

Seokjin sighed, shaking his head and running a hand through his blue locks.

"Does any of this even matter?" He asked, moving to stand beside you. "Shouldn't we be focusing on how to get us home?"

Namjoon frowned.

"I wouldn't question this if I were you." He whispered.

A small scoff of disbelief came from beside you. Your eyes snapped over to where Yoongi stood, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Look, I hate to break it to you," He started. "But, we really don't have the time to be standing around listening to these two morons bicker back and forth on a useless topic. We have better things to do with our time."

"This is not a "useless topic", sailor." Jungkook growled lowly. "This is a matter of great importance."

The black-haired man raised an annoyed eyebrow, glaring at the young prince before him.

"Oh yeah?" He asked sarcastically.

You sighed, placing your hand on his shoulder.

"Yoongi-"

He shrugged your arm off of him, his body moving towards the taller male as he stared him down coldly.

"We were just forced away from our entire life." He began. "Our families, our friends are gone and all you guys wanna do is sit here and argue about whether or not y/n has any importance in this world! Well, allow me to clear it up for you: She doesn't. She wasn't even important in our world."

Your shoulders slumped at his cruel words, heart aching slightly.

Not important?

Hoseok's face hardened at Yoongi's words.

"Yoongi," He breathed. "Calm down."

Yoongi shook his head fervently, his chest heaving as he turned back to the two royals.

"We came here for your help. So stop debating about things that aren't even important-"

"It is important!" Jimin roared.

Yoongi's eyes hardened.

"Why?!" He yelled. "How does any of this even matter-"

"Because I need to know if she's the one!"

The room grew still as silence fell over everyone.

Your eyes went wide at how deep his voice suddenly became. It sounded scary...almost animalistic... And his eyes..

The iris' that were once a brilliant shade of blue were now a deep shade of crimson red...

The only sound that filled the room was the sound of Jimin's heavy, unsteady breath.

You slowly pulled your bottom lip between your teeth, watching his every move nervously.

Jimin's blue eyes were still locked on Yoongi as he breathed deeply.

"I have to know if it's her." He stated.

Min Yoongi didn't hesitate, before opening his mouth again.

"If what's her?" He asked.

The young prince squeezed his eyes shut, attempting to calm himself down.

You could tell he was struggling with his anger and that he was trying his best not to say or do anything too out of line.

Slowly, Jimin opened his eyes again.

The crimson red that once filled his eyes was now a light shade of orange...and you watched in awe as they continued to lighten in color until they were, once again, the bright shade of blue.

You tilted your head.

His eyes changed colors?

Well, it's certainly not the strangest thing you've seen all day.

"You may stay here for the night." Jimin suddenly spoke, avoiding Yoongi's question as he looked to Namjoon.

The young hunter nodded his head slowly.

"Thank you."

Jimin nodded, before turning to look at you.

"You," He started.

You inhaled sharply, his voice catching you off guard.

"You will have dinner with me." He stated.

You blinked your eyes in shock, gawking at him.

Did-Did he just ask you to dinner? No- Did he just order you to have dinner with him?

"Uh-"

"That's a splendid idea, Chim!"

A new voice suddenly echoed throughout the room, causing your eyes to shoot around the room in an attempt to find the source of the deep voice.

Large hands suddenly came into contact with your shoulders, pulling you backwards until your back met with a solid chest.

Heat radiated off of whoever was behind you, sending a small jolt of electricity throughout your body.

"We should all have dinner together!" The deep voice purred from behind you, his hands giving your shoulders a gentle squeeze. "It will give us a chance to get to know everyone a little better."

Seokjin's hand found your forearm, his face hardening into a glare as he pulled you away from the man holding you.

Your eyebrows crashed together at his...odd appearance.

His hair was a bright shade of orange, almost resembling a tangerine.

His body was adorned in numerous colors that all managed to go together with each other. He wore a shirt made of white, silk, while his trousers were a shade of light blue...a bright red rose was placed in the lapel of his jacket, the color sticking out to you.

His hands held a silk, black top hat that had man intricate designs woven into the shiny material.

But that isn't what caught your attention.

What caught your attention...was his eyes.

His eyes were unlike any you had ever seen.

His left eye held numerous shades of emerald green, a little bit lighter than Namjoon's forest green gaze, while his right eye was a deep shade of sapphire blue.

Your gaze moved back and forth between his two eyes, trying to decide which color you liked better.

He was breathtaking.

"Taehyung." Jungkook sighed from behind you, snapping you out of your staring contest with the young man. 

The man in front of you-Taehyung- smiled widely at the grumpy royal, his body bending as he bowed, a chuckle moving past his lips.

"I heard there was a new woman in the land, I was curious to meet her."

Hoseok stepped forward, his head tilting.

"And how did you know we were here?" He asked with a brow raised in warning.

Taehyung smiled.

"Nothing goes on in my forest without me knowing about it." He stated, tapping his temple.

Namjoon rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Right." He huffed. "Are you sure you didn't just hear it from the cat?"

The orange-haired male smiled widely.

"Of course I heard it from him! He's my eyes and ears!" He exclaimed before clapping his hands together and licking his lips. "So, when are we going to eat?"

Jimin shook his head, crossing his arms.

"We are not going to eat." He deadpanned before looking at you. "The woman and I are going to dine alone."

Taehyung titled his head.

"But, I'm hungry." He whined.

"Then go home." Jimin snapped.

You stepped back.

Clearly this man had anger issues....Yikes.

Taehyung's bottom lip stuck out.

You couldn't help but smile.

Cute.

"Come on, Chim," He pleaded. "You can't hog The Keeper!"

Everyone froze at his last comment..Including you.

The..what?

Jungkook blinked a few times in confusion.

"What did you say?" He breathed, taking a few steps closer.

Taehyung furrowed his brows.

"He can't hog her." He repeated.

"H-Hog who?" Namjoon asked shakily.

Taehyung pointed to you.

"The Keeper."

A/N,

So, I was rereading the "character Q&A" from Pyramids and I saw the question about Evangeline and Ray....

I just want everyone to know that Jimin has now watched the movie and is currently on the verge of a mental break down.

That is all.
