@katheryn w。ᵛᵃˡᵏʸʳᶦᵉᵉʸᵉˢ Nothing in this world was more refreshing to the phoenix than letting his body be carried in the wind, to feel the rushing waves run over his eternal flame and tremble at its majesty. He needed this, needed it so much more than he was ever willing to admit, but Minseok would never voice it aloud. The life he lead was a spectrum of death and renewal that no one could ever understand, all aside from one who was there through every cycle, yet even he chose to allow the poor Phoenix nothing more than broken memories that could never be healed. The cycle would once again repeat, it was an inevitable fate he'd have to bore for eternity, but this time there was something worth clinging on to and for once Minseok was terrified of letting it slip through his fingers. A forlorn screech left the flying ball of ember as he came in for a landing atop the crumbling ruins, shimmering crimson and gold vibrant in his outstretched feathers.

@minseok k。ᵈᵘˢᵗ²ᵈᵘˢᵗ The crescent moon hung low in the sky, a cloudless and clear night where it’s waning light was enough to give an ethereal glow to the world beneath. Despite the time of year, there was no real chill to the air which made Katheryn’s journey that much easier as she glided gracefully among the gentle breezes like she was simply another gust of wind. Her shimmering golden wings stood out against the black curtain of night and lent the blonde some of their radiance, making her armor appear to sparkle amber as she flew. It was only as she neared the ruins that she slowed down to scan the horizon for the telltale signs of the phoenix, her friend which she had agreed to accompany on his mind-cleaning journey.

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ "As long as I have you, I am happy. As long as I have you, I am content and satisfied. As long as I have you, I am complete. No matter what." The words leave my tiers in a sincere promise as I press soft kisses along your jawline between ever two words or so. Though I can't help but laugh at your little threat. "I'll do my very best to pursue my dreams, Jiminnie. But I guess it just depends on how the dance competition on your birthday goes. I've heard some rumors that some big official corporate owners will be attending it so.. not only will that day be a gift to you but also a possible lead for me."

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “An even if it doesn’t work out like that, I’ll be okay as long as I got you.” I open my eyes, sliding my arms around your your waist to hug you tightly to me. “Because I know I’ll always be happy if I have you. But just know I’m going to be hella pissed if you don’t pursue your dreams. You’re so talented Kookie it’s unreal. You’ve got so many gifts , they deserve to be seen.”

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ I remain silent to listen to what you thoughts were, eyes glistening with emotion with each word that you say. My hands leave your cheeks so I could wrap my arms around your neck and gently nuzzle the tip of my nose against yours in a soft eskimo kiss. "That sounds like a beautiful plan," I agree in a whisper. "I always wanted to have a daughter named Luna or Anastasia Mae. I'll take your last name or you can take mine, it wouldn't matter to me either way. But that future... sounds perfect. It sounds perfect baby." As our foreheads touch, my eyes close and I inhale slowly through my nose. "It'll be our own fairy tale."

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ I hum in thought before speaking, “I see us being married and having a family sized house, one floor. Nothing too big. A wide yard next to the forest. Toys will scattered in the living room, messy finger paintings will be hung up on our refrigerator. We’ll have two kids. A boy and a girl. I don’t care if they’re Korean or Asian at all. You’ll be daddy and I’ll be papa. We’ll have movie nights where we curl up on the couch with them and just be whole. You’ll be a big time dancer- choreographer and I’ll finally proceed the medical field and possibly go on to be a doctor. I pause briefly, closing my eyes and pressing my forehead to yours. “And we’ll be so so /so/ happy.”

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ "You can ask me anything you want, my love. I really don't mind your curiosity about me." Your words send a brief rush of relief and endearment flooding through my chest and I can't help but smile that happy-go-lucky wide grin as you close the gap between our bodies. "And /I/ will always be interested in /you/." I echo as my hands return to your cheeks, thumbs caressing the skin on your cheekbones. Honestly, so have I. It's easy to picture a future with you, there's no doubt about it, and I've always made it obvious that I see a future in you. But this time, I silence myself and simply stare back into your eyes, curious to what your thoughts and ideas were about the future. "Is that so..? And? Any ideas come up?"

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “There’s lots of things I want to ask because I know there’s a lot I don’t know. I just don’t know where to begin because I want to know everything there is to know about you. Because/I/ will always be interested in you.” Suffocating the space between us , I press myself against you. There’s a fond smile adorning my lips as my blue eyes gaze up at you. “I’ve been thinking a lot about the future. Our future. Like where will we be in five years. Will we be married? Will we have kids? What kind of house will we have? Thoughts like that.”

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ I shake my head a little and give you a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it. You asked, and I was honest with you. I'll always be honest with you. A part of me wants to talk to my parents. I want to so badly that it sometimes keeps me awake at night. But.. I don't want it to be one-sided; I want them to want it too. But like I said, it looks like they're not interested in me any longer." My eyes fill with forlorn at the revelation of your parents up and leaving without so much of a word. I give your hand a gentle squeeze and tug you a little closer. "Exactly. them. We've survived this long without them, I'm sure we can survive even longer. We have each other - we're our own family."

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “Oh baby,” I whisper, carding my free hand through your hair wearing an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry I asked. I was just so curious. I hate that. I’m not sure how anyone can be frightened by a cute bunny. But them right? My parents took off again. I’m not sure where, they didn’t specify. You’d think after finally reuniting and becoming a whole family they’d stay. But they left. Again. So them. Who need them ya know? We’ve both done just fine without them, right? We’re our own family.”

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ Your words don't register in my head for the first moment or so but when they do, I turn my head to look over at you with a small frown tugging at my lips. My eyes scan your expression as I chew on my bottom lip hesitantly. "Well... after the fiasco that happened with my brother, I learned that my parents never pressed charges. They figured that if I was "still alive" then there no point to hold my brother accountable for what had happened. Not to mention my father didn't seem to quite believe that I was telling the truth; they put my brother up on a golden pedestal after I had passed in my human life. I don't talk about them because.. even after what I've been through, what my brother did, they don't seem quite.. interested in reuniting with me." A pause. "My mother even seems frightened of me."

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “Speaking of parents....” I trail off softly, fingers brushing against the stone wall and eyes trained on the curves of the ancient artwork as if it were the most fascinating thing. “I have a question.” I pinch my eyebrows together in thought, internally debating if I want to go down that path or not but I was genuinely curious. “You don’t ever really talk about them.. or go see them. I mean even before you knew of... ya know. Is there a reason for that?”

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ "Yeah, unfortunately... My parents were always worried that something would happen to me if I ever wandered off alone. They believed in the supernatural but I was young and painfully curious. I often got myself in the wrong places at the wrong times." I'm so distracted with the carvings and engravings that also begin to glow that I'm not quite paying attention to anything else around me; your hand interlocked with mine being the only thing keeping me moving forward. "Why would no one come here at night? It doesn't seem like a bad place - if anything, it's even more pretty!"

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “Really? You’ve lived here your whole life and never thought to explore?” Gives you an incredulous look, stepping into the old worn down building. When my foot makes contact with the cracked flooring, the carvings and engravings start to glow dimly. “I used to come here alllll the time when I was younger. It was like my hangout spot. No one else would come with me at night, in .”

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ "That may be true but I am nowhere close to being cold right now," I chuckle while lifting my hands to cup your cheeks in my palms, returning the kiss with a content hum. "I'm dressed for the occasion, look at me! I have a nice sweater and some good jeans on. I think I'll be fine." Eager to see the rest of the ruins, I hold on to your hand and let you guide me through the path as my green eyes light up in wonder and awe. I admire both the ground as it lights up beneath us and the beautiful trees that surrounded us. "I've never been here before... but you're right, it's so pretty here."

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ “It’s always colder at night,” I say matter-of-factly as I wrap my arms around you and lean in for a brief kiss. “And when you’re complaining that your cold when the wind picks up, I’m going to say I told you so.” Sticks my tongue out, letting go of your frame in favor of lacing our fingers together to guide us into the heart of the ruins. With each step we take down the path, the patches of the ground beneath us begins to light up aiding our vision in the night. “This place is so old but so magical.”

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ Fall was my favorite time of year. Halloween being my favorite holiday was a given but it wasn't just because of that. I always liked the way the leaves looked in the fall. Hues of greens, oranges, reds, yellows, and browns dotting along the land. It was always so beautiful to look at. With a soft smile on my lips, I duck and weave my way through the path before spotting a familiar figured up ahead. My smile broadens. "Hey gorgeous," I return your cheeky greeting with one of my own as I approach you, pausing briefly once I realize you have my hoodie. "Are you cold?"

@ʰ ⁰⁹¹³ jungkook j。ᵇᵃᵇʸᵏᵒᵒᵏ I tucked my hands deep into the pocket of my, well your hoodie, shivering just a little at the summer night breeze. It was close to autumn and you could tell by the slight degree drop in the mornings and at night. Summer nights are always the most beautiful and I usually spend them out and about, but the ruins happens to be the most beautiful place in all of town. I take a short cut into the woods, following the small trail that leads to the ruins. I jump at the sounds of twigs breaking, halting momentarily to see who or what was coming. Relief floods through me when my eyes fall on you, well what little I could make out of you. “Hey good looking,” I greet with a smile, making my way over towards you.

@jimin p。ʲᶦᵐʲᵃᵐ I've never been to the ruins before but I have always heard from my little critters that it was a beautiful place. That it'll remind me of my forest almost, at least in some aspects. So I was fairly excited to be able to go there especially if I was going to be experiencing it with you. Parking my car on the shoulder of the road and climbing out of the car, I look up and down the road just to make sure I hadn't accidentally passed you - I would've felt bad. Upon not seeing you, I walk through the entrance of the main path that will ultimately lead me towards the ruins.

Chaeyoung looked around this place since she was bored. "this place looks cool!" she said to her self. Chaeyoung then let her wings come out and she started to fly around this place because she was tired of walking. "why would people abandon this place? its so pretty!" she said.

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Baekhyun lowered his head mumbling "Just for the record, I wasn't planning on tasting it. I was going to get Dae to take it by drinking my blood. But fine. I won't do that." A pout formed on his lips as he reached out and took the viles. "Don't like doctors, but fine, I'll go.."

@baekhyun b。ʰʸᵘⁿⁿᶦᵉ⁰⁴ “The results wouldn’t be good so don’t even think about Byun Baekhyun. You’re not invincible by any means. You have a heart of gold but you might wind up dead because of it.” My voice is stern and serious as I speak, I really needed you to understand. “Like I said, there’s a reverse potion so no need to try and test it out. So,” I pause momentarily to pull two viles out from my jacket, offering them to you, “get these to him so he doesn’t die or anything. And then you go see a doctor, yeah?”

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ "I know you did, and I really appreciate everything you've done. I'm sure Daehyun does too." He said, honestly grateful for everything. "If only someone had done this before, then we'd know.. Know all the risks, and if it'll work.." He bit his bottom lip lightly before asking "Any idea what it would do to human blood? Cause I might have an idea.." His voice trailed off.

@baekhyun b。ʰʸᵘⁿⁿᶦᵉ⁰⁴ I watch you for a moment longer, clearly unconvinced by your words but I drop it for now. “Oh please, I worked my off the entire day researching about vampire anatomy and diseases, and then worked my off all night to make the potion for him specifically. Like hell I’m going to let it go to waste. But mark my words, if he does let it go to waste, he’s gonna wish he were dead because I’ll kick his vampire .” I cross my arms over my chest with a sigh, “Baekhyun I don’t know. I really don’t. Like I said this is purely experimental. I mean obviously it won’t turn him mortal and I truly don’t think it’ll kill him. As for it messing with his abilities and such, I cannot guarantee anything. If it doesn’t work as planned, I made another potion. A reversal potion.”

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ His eyes widened. "You weren't? You had me so worried! I thought you were going to let Dae die." He exclaimed then pouted. "He is very stubborn. But I'm sure there's a way to get him to take it. It's only going to make him better, right? He'll feel like himself again? It won't make him mortal or mess with his abilities, will it?" Keeping one hand against the ruined wall, he waved the other dismissively. "I'll be fine."

@baekhyun b。ʰʸᵘⁿⁿᶦᵉ⁰⁴ A smile tugs the corners of his lips, happy and relieved that nothing was wrong after all. “Pleased too meet you as well. Ah yeah I did, listen I wasn’t ever planning on actually selling it. I just said that so maybe it’d help Daehyun choose to take it but he’s a stubborn vampire.” His yes narrow slightly noticing that you’re looking rather green, “Are /you/ okay?”

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Although it hadn't been his plan, Baekhyun had fallen asleep while waiting. A seemingly distant call of his name managed to wake him, causing him to groan softly and slowly open his eyes. Looking up, he realised the person who had called him wasn't as far away as he had first thought. It also happened to be the person he was waiting for. "Hi, Taehyung. It's nice to meet you in person." He greeted as he struggled to get to his feet, trying to ignore how bad he was feeling. "Did you bring the potion?"

@baekhyun b。ʰʸᵘⁿⁿᶦᵉ⁰⁴ Taehyung begins his walk to the Ruins fifteen minutes shy of five o’clock, trudging through the high patches of grass that led into the Ruins itself. He had the viles stowed away in the protection of his jacket, he knows how people can get seeing potions out in the open. Upon his arrival, he notices the light shade of sandy blonde hair in the distance but he still proceeds with caution. “Baekhyun?” He calls out, a bit unsure of himself since the other was eerily still.

@taehyung k。ᵗᵃᵉˡᶦᵉⁿ Five o'clock. That was the time Taehyung had said to meet at the ruins. Since he had only ever walked past them, Baekhyun wasn't quite sure how long it would take him to walk there. Knowing there was a chance he could get lost, he headed out around one.
Much to his surprise, he found the ruins pretty quickly. Still feeling quite unwell, the human collapsed against one of the walls. Not thinking about the possibility of danger, he let his eyes fall closed as he waited for the other to arrive.
