@frank d。ᵒᵘᵗᵒᶠˢᵖᵃᶜᵉ "They are, and we're taking plenty of pictures of winter flowers today," Kristine said with a wide smile as she gestured to the forest behind her with a chuckle. She hooked the strap of the camera around her neck and kneeled down to the bag, taking out the camera she was talking about. "That is if you can bring yourself to do that," Kristine said teasing him back "Just kidding, I'll teach you how to take the best photos in the world," She stood up with the bag over her shoulder and handed the camera to Frank. "I do, mostly when it's warmer but whenever I need time to really do some deep thinking. I assume you don't come here often," She said trying to joke with him.

@kristine f。ᶠʳᵒᶻᵉⁿ “Flowers and dogs are always a t-treat to see,” Frank admitted with a smile, his hands still deep in the pockets of his coat and the hood on his head. “So,” he started after being informed about the second camera, “you will be teaching me h-how to use it and take nice p-pictures, yeah?” Frank asked in a mere teasing way, being far too conscious about his inability to take proper pictures of anything. Even his phone gallery looked like a child’s best attempt to hold the camera steady. “D-Do you come here often then?”

Kristine smiled instantly as she recognized Frank's voice and lowered her camera from her face "It's quite a way from town but it's worth it, here," she held the camera up for him to see the pictures of the magical winter blooming flowers throughout town and the picture of her beloved neighbour's dog, Dean. "If flowers and an old dog seems interesting then they might be good, " Kristine chuckled softly before turning the small black bag she had on the ground. "I have another camera you can use if you want, it's older but I think the less buttons, the more easier it is to be used by beginners,"

@kristine f。ᶠʳᵒᶻᵉⁿ It took a while till Frank finally arrived to the destination. It was quite the hike, something he wasn't really used to, however his habitual long walks helped him keep his stamina. With the hood over his head, he approached the already waiting Kristine, somewhat short of breath. "Hello," he said, slightly panting. He didn't forget to pull a polite smile, and get a good look around their surroundings. "Quite the p-place for picture-taking," he snickered. After he noticed Kristine going through some possible pictures on her camera, he leaned over to take a peek himself. "Are they any good?" he asked shortly with a small smile.

@frank d。ᵒᵘᵗᵒᶠˢᵖᵃᶜᵉ Kristine looked around for Frank as she stood at the entrance of the forest, she leaned against one the tall trees to catch her breath from the hike she took from her house to the forest, but of course she took photos on the way. She was wearing her grey oversized "crusaders" sweater with a white turtleneck underneath with a pair of black leggings and worn in sneakers. Kristine pinched her face together as she looked at the pictures she took on her camera, shaking her head or humming whenever she came across a photo she liked or did not like. She had been waiting for the day it wasn't too cold or rainy with a bit of sun to take photos, but she had something to tend to whenever the chance to go out was there. The last time she came to the forest was for a bonfire party her friends were holding, which did not last long at all due to the sudden downpour of rain that ran them all to a nearby cave full of sprites.

@nako y。ⁿᵃᵏᵒⁿᵃᵏᵒⁿᶦ [thanks]
Yewon lays there with her back left legg still stuck in the trap, she was nervous at first when the other girl burst on to the scene, but hearing her ask if she was okay, then seeing how she's going to try to pick the lock she relaxes some. then focuses on projecting her voice, `hey, thanks so much for helping me. this thing just came out of no where and for some reason I can't seem to affect it. I thought I might be a gonner, with how bad my legs hurting`

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ [she's so pretty!!]

the forest told nako many things when she walked among the fallen leaves, moss, and ferns in her bare feet. the forest was her friend so it saw no need in hampering her progress. magic whispered in her ear like a of the wind brushing her bangs. there was something wrong ni the air. the smell of spilled blood was fresh and the forest was quivering with anticipation. a flash of white, red, and then an unwanted hunter invaded nako's mind and the girl took off down the forest without a single leave rustled and kicked up in her path through the forest. the trees bent and curved, clearing a path for the witch as she darted down an opened path. in the distance, she saw a brilliant white fox--a single white lily amongst weeds tangled in a forbidden trap.
"are you okay?" she shouted at the top of her lungs, her speed unfaltering. the girl came to a sliding stop in front of the other, dropping to her knees to poke and prod at the trap.
"it's antimagic... " she whispered with her eyebrows furrowed.
"you need a key to open it.... i think if i found a right twig...."
the girl pivoted on her knees, fingers digging through the decaying leaves and wet moss.

@nako y。ⁿᵃᵏᵒⁿᵃᵏᵒⁿᶦ [was going to include a picture of her fox form but then forgot until after I hit send https://i.pinimg.com/originals/39/ce/36/39ce363de55271dbd852aab6a19a351a.jpg ]

@nako y。ⁿᵃᵏᵒⁿᵃᵏᵒⁿᶦ Yewon was taking some time off from her studies to run around in the forest, it had been a while since she had used her fox form and it felt good to stretch out her legs like this. But then all of a sudden a loud snap was heard and she was stopped dead in her tracks and her rear left leg started to throb, nervously she looked back and saw that while she was running around with out really paying much attention to what was around, she had set off a hidden trap. the good news is that it doesn't seem to have digged in and damaged her leg to much, but after a few attempts to try to free her leg only got it to grip it tighter she sighs, also looking at he size of the trap and the way it's biting in to her, if she was to shift to human form it would really tear her leg up badly before she could even attempt to pull it off, "ooh this is just great" she says to herself, "how am I going to figure this one out?"

i look around in the forest and everything around me, which made a smile on my face. I then sigh and i let my wings show. "this feels much better" i then jump and start to fly in the sky because i wanted to feel free and relaxed. as i was in the sky, i fly down to the ground and put my hand in the water. "this is so much fun!"" i then land on the ground and sit on a tree .

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ I turn around to face you, eyebrow raised. "You don't know? Is the water not warm enough for you? I could increase the temperature if you'd like." I had my hand dipped under the surface of the water once again but then a sudden, but gentle, current is pushing me towards you. I squeak in shock, flailing a little before I'm colliding with you in one smooth motion; hands catching myself on your shoulders. "Ya'know, if you wanted to hold me close like this, you could've just said so," I grumble as my cheeks, once again, turn a shade of red, while trying to speak between the sweet kisses you place on my lips; unable to resist them or /you/ for that matter. Humming quietly in content, I wrap my arms around your neck. "Glad you're feeling better," I can't help but moan against your lips when your hands squeeze the soft globes of my . In retort, I capture your bottom lip and give it a few nips.

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “Mmmm I don’t know,” which is a lie because yes it is better, I’m no longer freezing like I was three seconds ago but it could be perfect. Using my hands magic under the water, make a soft current towards me to drag you closer until I’m able to wrap my arms around your waist. Your body heat brings me a sense of contentment like no other and only then am I really satisfied. “Now that’s better,” I give a smug smile, leaning in to press a series of kisses to your lips. “So much better,” i mumble against your lips, hands sliding down your back side to grip your and giving it a soft squeeze.

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ A smirk tugs at the seams of my mouth as I hear you whine. "Maybe if you're a good boy, you'll get more than just a kiss," I tease as I step closer to the water, setting my clothes down on to a nearby rock. "I didn't know you liked my kisses so much that you'd demand to have more--ah!" I squeak as you smack my , jolting in surprise. My green eyes shoot wide open as my cheeks flare a deep scarlet. "H-Hey!" I huff quietly and shake my head as I follow you into the water. I hiss quietly at the jolt of sharp coldness that rakes up my spine, making me shudder. Dipping my hand into the water, I extend my senses a little to communicate with the water spirit and smiles softly as the temperature of the water rises to a more comfortable level. "There. That feel better?"

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ I’m eager to reciprocate the kiss because I’ve missed the taste and feel of your lips, it’s been almost a day and yes I was deprived. However, it was over before it even started leaving me to whine behind you. “Excuse me, you can’t just kiss me like that for like two seconds. I demand more,” i follow after you, stopping in my tracks because now I’m getting a full view- literally. It was round, plump and gorgeous, and I , bring a man who appreciates , just had to give a nice tap. And that I did. I bring my hand up to smack right against your bare , and to my delight, it jiggled. Then, I’m off into the water not wanting to be on the receiving end of whatever retaliation you had in mind. “Cold, cold.” A shiver runs up my spine, goosebumps pebbling my skin the farther I go.

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Laughter bubbles out of me when you a point a finger at me. "Yes, my forest /is/ big, Taetae," the words leave my mouth in a teasingly cheeky manner as I shoot you a grin. Though you start listing off the stumps that litter across my land and be dramatic about, my fit of laughter returns and I make my way over to you. "You're so dramatic, Taetae. Goodness. Here, will this cheer you up?" My hand raises to gently grasp your chin, turning your head to me as you struggle to remove your shoes. Before you could say anything, I lean in and capture your lips in a fierce kiss, though it only lasts for a couple of seconds and I'm pulling away. "Mmh, you can stay in your boxers - that's fine. I strip down completely." Sending a flying wink to you, I turn around and head back to the shoreline so I could pull off my pants and boxers in one swoop.

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “You started it,” points a finger at you accusingly. “I know what you were meaning by me making it in one piece tch. Your forest is very big- oh and did you know you have hella stumps I about broke my neck,” it’s an over exaggeration by a lot, I merely stumbled but you didn’t need to know that. “It’s a beautiful forest though I’m not surprised. I didn’t get to take in the beauty of it last time I was here.” Instead of verbally answering your question I begin stripping my clothes as well, struggling to get my shoes off for a moment so I could pull my pants down. “You’re a wild one you know that? Skinny dipping and what not, showing off all of that,” gestures towards your ness. “I’m staying in my boxers, I have a fear of something going in my pee hole whenever I get in lakes and rivers- even the ocean.”

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ I turn my head to give you a flat look when you mimic my tone and squint my eyes at you. "Yah, why did you mock me like that?" Huffs quietly as I stand up up, stretching my arms above my head and groaning quietly as my joints pop and muscles stretch. "I'm gonna bathe, of course, I'm covered in sweat and dirt." Watches as you stumble and miss your mark and it makes me laugh. My green eyes glitter in endearment. "I am getting very , yes, because I'm gonna skinny dip. Are you gonna join or continue gawking?"

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “Glad you could make it in one piece,” I mock your tone with a role of my eyes, all in good nature of course. A smile breaks out upon my lips as I walk closer getting a better view of a very shirtless you. My eyes brows lift in slight surprise but only slight because the rest of my mind was a little frazzled seeing so much skin suddenly. I’m certainly not complaining especially when I can see the marks that I left on you. “So, what are you doing exactly?” I ask slowly, leaning back to rest on a tree but missing by a couple inches causing me to stumble a bit much to my embarrassment. “Anyways,” I continue on, “you seem to be getting pretty .”

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ While I wait for your arrival, I grab the hem of my shirt and lift it up, slipping the material off and setting it down on a nearby rock. I'll have to wash it later. Actually, I'll definitely need a shower before I do anything and the water was also clear, crisp, and healthy so it's not like I couldn't swim in it. I do it all the time. "You guys all set or is there anything else I can do?" I ask gently, just to make sure. One of the beavers look up at me while the others continue their work. It makes a noise in response before returning to work. "Alright. You know where to find me if you do." I walk further down the river, moving away from the beavers so I could have some privacy. I'm only able to get my shoes and socks off when I hear your voice, making me smile as I take my last sock off and put both of them in one of my shoes. "I live here, babe," I deadpan playfully, lifting my head to look up at you. "Glad you could make it in one piece."

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ I smile at the sudden appearance of the bird, quickly following it further into the woods. I doge a few vines and step over many stumps, slightly winded from all this exercise that I did /not/ sign up for. The bird, however is just enjoying its time leading me down a path as if it were an actual tour guide. The more I walked, the closer the sound of a river becomes. Of course you have a river in your forest. Pulling a few branches out of the way, it finally presents itself. It’s beautiful, majestic even. But not as beautiful as the smile on your face or your laughter ringing almost as loud as the river water. “Why hello there, do you come here often, gorgeous?”

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ "There. You just admitted that everything was the squirrel's fault. And as I said, Ganji has never hurt even a fly. He's a good pup, I promise. But maybe those animals that you're protecting need to be put on a 'leash' as well. Or at least learn some manners." Daehyun mumbled with a roll of his eyes. When the wind speed picked up and the animals quieted down, the vampire looked back up to the large deer. He wasn't scared, but he /really/ wasn't interested in starting a fight, especially with another member of Magnolia. After all, Daehyun was a peaceful vampire, and everyone seemed to get along with him. "Relax, Bambi." He said, recalling one of the animated movies a friend forced him to watch. "I would never harm anything or anyone unless they threatened me or if it was out of self-defense," Daehyun told the other male as he reached down to scoop Ganji into his embrace.

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ "Almost done," I grunt as I heave up a large log, throwing it over my shoulder like it only weighed as much as a milk jug. "Just one more log!" A smile tugs at my lips as I walk over to the large den that I've been building for the past 4 hours, hearing the beavers noises of excitement and joy. I toss the log down and watch them immediately run over to it, getting to work in resizing it and cutting it into pieces with their buck-teeth. I chuckle quietly and watch them have at it for a moment before my attention is taken away. Turning to look behind me as I hear an echo of a voice in the wind, I extend my senses and smile to myself when I feel your presence wandering around aimlessly. I extend my senses a little further. A bird passing over you chirps as it hovers in front of you before taking off down a path, leading you in the direction of where I am.

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “Kookie?” My voices echoes throughout the forest,unsure of direction. “Baby where are you?” Furrowing my eyebrows I begin to venture off further into the forest, figuring that waiting on a response is useless. You’re probably too preoccupied helping beavers. The image of you talking to a little family of beavers pops into my mind causing my heart to melt just a little bit. Your forest is a lot different from the enchanted forest. Everything here is so clear and serene. It’s almost like I feel protected by the nature itself. And then I remember that /you/ are the nature itself and it makes sense as to why I feel so at ease. “Baaaaaabbyyyyyy”, I try calling out one more time in hopes of catching your attention.

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Jungkook meant no harm of course by refusing Taehyung's help. He's just not used to people actually coming into his life and /offering/ to help and actually coming through with it instead of leaving him hanging. He's had it happen to him a couple of times and it's always very disheartening to watch that person just chomp away at the trust you've given them. So Jungkook is weary. He's hesitant, cautious, and distrustful. But it doesn't mean he's not open-minded, hopeful, curious, and compassionate. He's just careful with who he trusts and accepts into his life. It's one thing to accept and welcome someone into his forest but it's another to accept them into his life as someone he holds close.

Trusting someone enough to heal him is Jungkook's first step towards /actual/ trusting. 'If you want trust, you have to give some away' - that's what he heard someone say once. So when Taehyung's blue eyes met Jungkook's green ones and their hands intertwined, Jungkook placed a portion of his trust into his energy. He was trusting Taehyung to heal him. To not be greedy later on and expect something in return. To be genuine to him, to his friends, and to his forest. 'The trust of a Spirit is a great honor,' the wind spirit had whispered to him one night. 'For in some cultures, Spirits are the same hierarchy as Gods.' Jungkook knew that the animals he protected looked at him and treated him as a God but also as their friend. He knew the people that lived in the town would often leave offerings at the entrance of his forest; most of them to atone for their sins (for when they offended his forest and got banned), others to keep the peace, to tell Jungkook that they mean no harm, or to just be thoughtful. For the whole 4 months Jungkook's been the Forest Spirit, it's been far too since someone looked at him and saw the real him; a lonely boy living deep in the forest as a way to cope.

Confusion twists in Jungkook's expression for a split second. He's seeing swirls of light purple and a hint of soft red orbiting Taehyung's aura when the healer reaches to his cheek. Light purple; friendly, romance, open, welcoming, admiration. Soft red; love, endearment, captivation, warmth, romance. Jungkook dipped in a little further in his reading. Taehyung was... admiring his physical beauty for a brief moment as his fingers grazed along the light freckles adorning his soft cheeks. Jungkook's heart palpitated in his chest and he's sure Taehyung could feel the heat growing beneath his fingertips. His lips part so he could say something but then suddenly, fingers press against his temple and a soft murmur of a single word has him immediately falling into a deep slumber. His body immediately relaxes and releases all of the tension and stress it had been holding; going slack in Taehyung's hold. And for once, as Jungkook laid there with the burdens of being the 'mighty protector of a forest that was once dead' lifts up off of his shoulders for the time being, he looked... peaceful. Innocent. Pure.

A bear shuffles forward and sniffs Taehyung's shoulder for a brief moment before standing close to his side, offering the healer something to lean on; for even the animal could sense his strength was teetering as he continued to heal the boy. The animals step closer, eyes wide in wonder and apprehension. Then Taehyung is done and the light engulfing both of them fades. For a moment, the animals watch Taehyung drop to the ground in silence, taking the sight of him in. The bear that stood beside him was the first to move. It shifts forward before managing to nudge the male on to its back comfortably so it could carry him. A decently sized buck does the same for Jungkook and together, they carry both of them deeper into the forest towards a destination that only they knew about. The walk there is brief, short, and then they've arrived. An small open meadow with the trees above parting to reveal the clear sky, to allow the sunlight to pour in. The grass was knee-high and there was dots of flowers of all colors littering around the meadow grass. In the middle of the open field, was what looked like to be a flowerbed. The deer and the bear carry them over to it before easing them on to the flowers, which cushion their bodies and fill their senses with a pleasant, warm smell. The animals sniff both of them, mainly to get their vital signs and once content, they leave. Peacefully. Some of the deer graze nearby and the family of bears move toward the small river bend nearby. They leave both of them to rest, knowing they need it.

Along the way, as time passes and the sun begins to dip beyond the horizon, a large black wolf eventually wanders in and takes lazy steps towards them. Its golden hues lock on to Jungkook and for a moment, it looks almost predatory. But as the wolf sniffs Jungkook's fluffy black hair, it curls up behind Jungkook tightly and rests its head on the boy's shoulder; sharp gaze staring at Taehyung's form as if waiting, testing him. It's intent seems vague and it becomes evident on what it's doing as it cuddles against Jungkook's back; giving him its strength. For the flowers beneath them bloom a bit wider, a bit brighter as the wolf gives the missing energy back to Jungkook. The wolf was studying Taehyung curiously with its ears perked up, nostrils flaring just slightly as it sniffs the air to get a whiff of his scent.

@jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ Taehyung grimaces at the refusal, a toe curling scream pierces his ears as the spirit tries to remove the arrow on his own. The sheer velocity of it had his ears ringing. The animals, the trees.. all life in this forest seem to have felt that. It lives through this boy and maybe Taehyung understands now. He watches the interaction between the fox and Jungkook, much similar to his interaction with the rabbit earlier.

To his surprise, the fox is all Jungkook needed for convincing. His blue eyes snap down at their hands, eyebrows knitting together in mild confusion. His hand was soft- oh now he feels it. New energy surging through him and intertwining with his. It feels good. He feels warmer, more inclined to his senses. Looking down at Jungkook, he can see and /feel/ how anxious the boy truly is. “You’re strong Jungkook. I promise it’ll be okay,” he assures with a firm nod, and he always make good on his promises.

With his free hand, Taehyung softly caresses Jungkooks face, pads of his fingers trailing along his freckled skin. He is really ing gorgeous. Before he lets his thoughts drift off into unwanted territory, the healer places his palm against the spirits temple and whispers a soft ‘sleep’ causing the boy to immediately fall unconscious. He cautiously lays him down onto the green grass. Slipping his fingers away , he rubs his hands once together once more, casting a glance to of all of the worries animals that was with worried eyes. “He’s going to be fine.” And with that there’s a faint glow that begins to beam from his hands and it continues to get brighter and brighter and brighter until his light is engulfing both him and the boy. He moves his hands to the wound once more, this time unwavering, the pain hurt like a but Taehyung pushes through.

Both hands work against the arrow, effortlessly pulling it out. Now the real pain began. His leg throbbed, it felt like he was losing a lot of his blood. He has to work quick. His vision is blurred by nothing but white. He knows his eyes are now glowing as well, using his all of his magic now. The wound is patching up rapidly, he can feel it, but it’s not quick enough. Why did spirits have to be so strong and so ing hard to heal? Seconds tick by and Taehyung is already exhausted. His power is being drained along with his energy. The pain lessens a tenfold, so know they’ve entered the stages of skin repair. The muscle repair is always the hardest and toughest to go through. ‘Just a little longer’ he tells himself, but the reality is, he’s slowly slipping in and out of consciousness. His power is losing its light and not even a moment later, Taehyung is falling beside the forest boy. There’s no sign that an arrow was ever near Jungkooks leg besides for the small little scratch that remains.

@taekwoon j。ʲᵘⁿᵍᵗʷ Yewon hobbles a short distance away from the trap and flops down, a massive wave of relief washes over her as she's finally free of the trap. "Thank you so much for your help, I don't know what I would of done had you not came along. And don't worry I'm not going to try any funny business. I just need to get back to town, I can heal so much better there. Anyways like I said I do owe you a favor, for saving me. I'm Yewon by the way nice to meet you" She says while laying there on her side resting as she talks to you, her posture is relaxed and settled as if she's not planning on moving anytime soon and not waiting for anything else to happen. "But you are right I'm going to have to be paying more attention to things I think also make shorter trips and not run as much until I get more used to spotting stuff like that." she sighs "Dam I was trying to take a nice break from studying for an exam and then this happened."

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Who was this man in front of him? Jungkook's head was foggy so he closed his eyes, took a few deep breathes, and cleared his mind. When he reopens them, his green orbs are more focused, keen, and observant. He scans the man head to toe slowly, touching his sixth sense to get more of a sense of him. Jungkook concentrated and the information flooded his head instantly. Yes, he was still a fairly new spirit. He was still discovering and honing his abilities and recently, he discovered that he could easily tap into someone's head the second their feet touch his grounds. He'd automatically know who they were. Their name, their identity, their thoughts and intentions - it all would fill Jungkook's head the very second their foot touched the forest earth. Like now, as he's laying there pitifully, he can tell who this man is.

"Kim Taehyung," he speaks quietly. "A healer..?" Could he trust him? Trust him enough to heal him? No one has ever offered to heal him. He was a Spirit. A powerful one. Healing an injured spirit would require a lot of energy and concentration and although Jungkook has been injured a few times in the past, few have offered to heal him; knowing that they could run out of energy and ultimately leave them both vulnerable to any foe around them. Even now with his concentration and his energy slipping, he could sense the people around the forest gathering upon feeling the sense of distress, pain coming from within the forest. Their confusion, their wonder, their anxiety mixing in with the same emotions his animals are exhibiting along with Taehyung. He could always see emotion in color bursts around someone's aura and right now, all he's seeing is different shades of blue all around him. It's too much. So Jungkook squeezes his eyes shut and wills himself even harder, putting up a protective barrier around the forest to not let anyone in.

Jungkook took a closer look to Taehyung, pushing back the swirls of blue that surrounded him in favor of taking a more in depth look at his aura. All he saw were lighter colors; yellow, pink, orange, soft reds. No brown, green, deep red, grey, white, or even something as painful as black. Jungkook felt himself sag a little in relief. And when Taehyung says something else, something meant to be playful in hopes of lighting up the atmosphere, he sees a small burst of lavender; nervous, hopeful. But then a spark of dark red - pain, discomfort, agony - floods his vision and Jungkook jerks at not only that but the slight pressure Taehyung's hand on the arrow causes. Jungkook whimpers quietly.

"I'm not about to let you put me to sleep and leave /both/ of us in a state of vulnerability," Jungkook denies with a tone that left no room for debate. He looks down at his leg and takes a deep breathe before reaching down to wrap his palm around the arrow. The slight pressure itself hurts but he knows what's about to come will hurt even worse, however he needs to get this arrow out /now/. Jungkook straightens his body a little, tightens his muscles, prepares himself, and pulls. A scream echoes throughout the forest, sending the birds on the trees scattering for a moment before ultimately flying down to join the crowd of animals surrounding them. A fox runs to him as he curls on his side, tossing the arrow away, and begins the tears staining his cheeks with quiet little yips and whines. Jungkook squeezes his eyes shut and reaches up with a trembling hand to gently pet the fox's head, comforting its anxiety.

"If you're going to heal me... I will allow it." He grits out after a couple of seconds, lifting his head a little to peer over at Taehyung. With his free hand, he reaches out to him as well and takes one of Taehyung's. Lacing their fingers together and gripping firmly, allowing both of them a solidity to ground themselves from the pain. But more than that; he begins channeling some of his energy to the man, giving him more juice so he doesn't quite exhaust himself completely. He knows the man will be exhausted after this, probably collapse like Jungkook no doubt will, but he knows the animals around them will protect them and bring them to a safe place in the forest.

"Do it."
