28-A

Lisa: what should we do now, if Jimin was not able to get through in time, everything will be a waste.

V: no that can't happen, let me try once again….yah jiminiee I am your bestie right are you cheating on me? You have another bestie other than me?

Suga: Tae, stay quiet there's no use in trying your turn is over remember what he said.

L: but hyung what should we do?

Jimin: don't worry L master Aetheir will find a way.

Aetheir returned

Aetheir(light): I am sorry Jimin, elders are in the middle of making barrier spells, I can't disturb them.

Meric(illusion): everyone is out of their chances, how is he going to get in, in time without elders

Rose turned towards jungkook who is standing away from all of them playing with a pebble; he decided that it's better to stay away, instead of staying near Jimin and get his heart pricked every minute.

Rose: maybe he should give it a try…..

Jungkook heard her and slowly walked to the waterfall

Jimin: who?

"me" Jungkook replied and Jimin can see a vague image of jungkook but he couldn't hear him clearly.

Jimin: who? Rose? Who is it? Jimin asked again but no one spoke silently glanced at Jungkook.

Jungkook put his hand through the waterfalls and Jimin slowly took the hand, the warmth, the feel, it is familiar.

Jimin slowly touched the waterfalls with his other hand; his fingers split the opaque stream of water curtain his fingers smoothly moving up slowly revealing a pair of red, rosy lips…..and straight nose breathing warmly, eyes so deep that one can get lost for a lifetime…. ahhh All of them familiar yet every time it's much more tempting and Enthralling to look at those features.

Jimin tried to take his hand back but jungkook didn't let go of the hand holding it tightly, he hauled Jimin towards him with full force, constraining him to land in his arms.

Their bodies collide and it gave off a vibe down the jimin's spine, the notch of his neck inches away from touching jungkook's lips, and his warm breath sending chills in jimin's throat, he is looking away and didn't spare a glance at jungkook, the brunette noticed how he make Jimin nervous.

Jungkook slowly whispered "why are you so hot? I barely touched you"

Jimin didn't tempt at his words, the blonde knows that jungkook is trying to provoke him.

But jungkook, he really has his ways or otherwise say he knows how to turn people towards him.

Jungkook: thought you wouldn't need me anymore, but pity at the end you are here and can't get through a simple spell without me.

Those words really poked Jimin, he gave a swift turn and now they are face to face so close and Jimin is looking at the younger like he would give a nice smack off his a*s for those words.

Jungkook: what am I wrong? What's with the look Jimin-shi? Aren't you supposed to say thanks? or sorry for what you did?

Jungkook tightened his grip on jimin's wrist almost making marks on his hand; Jimin furrowed his eyebrows letting out a frown, resisting his grip "Jungkook, you're hurting"

Just then Athena walked through pulling in Jin followed by namjoon entered the waterfalls

Jin: Jungkook-ahh that's enough, we don't have time for this let him go.

Jungkook: hurting you say? Not more than you... saying this he let go of his hand, slightly flinging it.

Jungkook walked away Jin, namjoon followed him.

Rose reached to Jimin "are you alright?"

Jimin: yeah, I am fine...he slowly rubbed his wrist trying to assure her.

Maat (Justice): did they fight again?

Aetheir (light): no and yes I don't know, jungkook helped him to pass through the waterfalls but just now….

Chronos: I thought they had a good relation.

L: nothing like that master Chronos, it's just they are having a small tiff.

Ares (war): it's better if they sort it out quickly.

Rose saw NV's faces change in worry since they already had their doubts she understood the heat of the situation and tried to divert the topic "by the way lady Athena, how did it go? Is anyone following us?"

Athena (wisdom): apparently no dear, it's good that we can have a peaceful ritual this time; "unlike the last one".....she stared at tae.

V: unlike the last one?

Aetheir (light): let's go we are going to be late.

They went in and the elders were waiting for them, all prepared.

Jimin and jungkook were standing at the center in front of a podium. While all the elders started chanting and blessings, Jin felt like they are being watched for some reason he can feel others eyes.

Jin: Athena are the Hellars here?

Athena (wisdom): no, how can they come this early we will invite them once ritual begins peacefully and after Zoi appears.

Jin: I feel something weird.

Aetheir (light): No way didn't I send the invite yet, and you people made sure no one is following us.

Jin: hmm.

The chanting ended and Maat came forth.

Maat(justice): now both of you go into the water and dive in for a moment.

Jungkook: with these clothes?

Maat(justice): yes.

Jimin: how much time we should stay in there, I can be there as long as you want me to but…..

Jimin glanced at jungkook, the brunette gave a shunning expression raising his eyebrow.

Maat(justice): you will know when you should come out so don't worry.

Jungkook smirked "I am okay Maat, waters like this can't even compare to the fire burning in me" Jimin gave a stare at Jungkook but jungkook didn't care.

Maat (justice): 'waters like this'…haha you will see.

Both of them went into the water and dunk in, holding their breath.

L: are we supposed to go in too?

Athena(wisdom): no, that's not necessary.

Rose: why not?

Athena(wisdom): Those waters are pure and they have the powers to clear a person's uncertainties and worries.

Those two had to lead a nation and protect Zoi, they can't do the ritual with their hearts filled with uncertainties and doubts so they had to clear their minds and get rid of all doubts they had on themselves lighten the burdens on their souls.
