Ch.15

"What do you think about wheels?" Hoseok rubbed his chin as he circled around Seokjin.

"What are wheels?" Seokjin furrowed his brows. His confusion only grew worse when Hoseok clapped loudly. The pink hair flinched, unsure if he was safe or not.

"I have an idea! What if I create a chair for you and it's on wheels?" Hoseok asked. He was already planning it out inside his head. "That way we won't have to worry about you walking!"

"But I want to learn how to walk." Seokjin pouted as he took a step forward. "See? I'm getting better."

"Shoot. Having you on wheels makes the whole stairs things difficult." Hoseok clicked his tongue in disappointment.

"Hoseok! It's fine. Watch me walk! I've been practicing in my room at night!" Seokjin started taking extra steps. His walking was slow and a bit unsteady, but Seokjin was determined. He did his best to maintain his balance. Pick up one leg and then the other! "Look at me!"

"Huh...you have improved. Can you jump yet?" Hoseok tilted his head to see Seokjin give his best hop. He only went up to his toes before the merman came falling down. "Seokjin!!" Hoseok rushed over to help the man get up.

"What's all this noise for?" Namjoon asked.

He had woken up and gotten himself dressed for the day. His morning had started out peacefully. Slowly, Namjoon was feeling himself getting used to waking up to an empty palace. Well, not completely empty. He was gaining a few extra people who he didn't quite consider friends. His feelings were mixed on whether he wanted to try or keep to himself. The only person Namjoon was allowing to be close to him was Yoongi. The vampire had turned into a bat and hung in the corner of Namjoon's bedroom to sleep through the night. Jungkook was paranoid Yoongi would take the chance to attack, but nothing of the sort occurred.

Jungkook had nothing to worry about. Besides, Yoongi could hardly cause Namjoon damage when he's in his bat form. If anything, Yoongi looked quite adorable as a small bat. Namjoon couldn't help himself from snatching Yoongi when he was sleeping in the corner. Naturally, Yoongi panicked since he was awoken from his slumber. Maybe next time Namjoon can get away with petting a bat. Yoongi quickly transformed back into his human form, warning Namjoon that he was not some pet. It was playful banter until they heard a heavy thud down below.

That's how they came down to see Seokjin groaning on the floor. Nothing new from the looks of it. It's not like Seokjin has proven himself to be great at standing on his two feet. Yoongi shook his head, heavily judging the merman. It's been weeks yet Seokjin still wasn't particularly good at walking. Much less running and even worse at jumping. The pink hair hardly even noticed they were there compared to the elf. Hoseok awkwardly smiled at the prince and vampire.

"Did we wake you?"

"Thankfully not." Namjoon sighed as Seokjin pushed himself up into a sitting position. He rubbed the side of his arms while staring at Yoongi in bewilderment. Seokjin's gaze wouldn't move, leaving Yoongi feeling uncomfortable. "Seokjin, stop staring at my guest."

"Well, I was just wondering what made you keep him. I thought he was bad news." Seokjin pointed out. He was so set on fighting Yoongi and now the vampire was one of his many roommates. Namjoon could understand the confusion to a degree.

"Lend me thine ears, Seokjin," Namjoon asked. Immediately, Seokjin brought his hands up to his ears with wide eyes.

"You want my what?! You have your own!" Seokjin was ready to start crawling for his life.

"He means for you to listen to him." Yoongi translated, calming down the pink hair. It slowly began to click inside Seokjin's head.

"Oh...I see. Namjoon talks funny, but you're going to be useful if you can translate." Seokjin chuckled.
