New Spell

Ch.8

Seokjin is easily the friendliest creature you have ever come across (not that you've across many). Though calling him 'creature' didn't feel right after getting to know his name. He's so playful and curious! It was astonishing to see the differences between you and him. Seokjin appeared human like to an extent, but even so, it was mainly his face. The rest of his body was covered with pink scales that Youngjo was a fan of. Seokjin was a beautiful merman that remained in your thoughts even when Namjoon brought you back to his castle.

The two of you only came back so Namjoon could be dropped off to rest. According to him, he's had a long day. He's only been out for an hour at most so you were confused to hear that from him. Unfortunately, the both of you had to part ways with Seokjin a lot earlier than you wanted. After discovering a merman who was willing to communicate with the both of you and meant no harm, why didn't Namjoon want to spend more time speaking with him? You felt like it was the perfect excuse to befriend Seokjin and get on his good side! But Namjoon was adamant about returning.

Youngjo was disappointed he had to leave Seokjin, but you needed him. He'll find out why later. You figured you should start thinking about turning Seokjin human and how to go about that. You'll have to flip through the old spell books you own to see if there's anything that'll give you a hint. Just maybe you'll need to play with potions so you'll have Youngjo fly out to get you ingredients. You just hope you can get the results you want to prove Namjoon wrong and also make Jungkook proud. By the time Malakai slowed down in front of the castle, Namjoon broke you out of your thoughts with his heavy sigh.

"I can't believe creatures like that were unleashed to our universe..." Namjoon got off Malakai. The frown on his face left you unsure whether to comfort him or discuss your ideas. Namjoon didn't give you a chance to say anything as he grabbed you by the waist, pulling you off the horse to set you down on the ground.

"Oh! I could have come down myself," you said. That's what you did last time, yet he only chuckled at your statement. Pursing your lips, you clasped your hands together and decided to just go on. "Well, I'm glad we're both back safely. I'll leave you to—"

"So soon?" Namjoon questioned to your surprise. He wanted you to stay a little longer? He didn't seem to be in the mood for company all too much. Yours in particular and you knew he wasn't a fan of Youngjo either, but the two of you were a package deal. "I mean, I'm only saying because...are you alright? You're not startled from earlier?"

"Earlier?" You repeated in confusion. When looking back, you were a bit lost until it dawned on you that he was speaking about the kiss. Right. How could you forget? So much happened in general that it almost slipped your mind. The realization was clear through your expressions, causing Namjoon to keep his eyes focused on you. "Ah...I'm alright."

Namjoon didn't seem to believe you. Maybe if you thought about it more, you would have different thoughts. Right now you weren't trying to think about it too hard. Seokjin didn't see it the same way as humans did and by doing so, he was able to speak your language. You figured it was just you taking one for the team. As long as you don't make it personal, you'll be fine. You don't have to consider it your first kiss if you really don't want to. These past couple weeks in general have been quite the ride. At this point, you're expecting anything to occur.

"It's hard to believe that I have to say. You know, if I still had my authority, I could have his tongue ripped from his mouth if you'd like." Namjoon suggested as your eyes widened. "Perhaps his hands chopped or if you'd like his head—"

"No! I'm not asking for that at all!" You were quick to interrupt him. Just the thought of that happening to someone you spoke to was enough to make you lightheaded. After having a conversation with him...he was real. "Seokjin didn't mean to harm me. I also don't want to kill anyone, creature or human."
