"Minie, I'm going to get married!" Taehyung exclaimed, thrusting his fingers onto Jimin's eyes. The latter giggles at the news, returning the enthusiasm tenfold with giddy jumps of his own.

"I'm so happy for you, Tae!" the blond whispered out, cheeks staining red in bliss as he sees his step sibling glow under the lights of the room.

Over the past year, Hoseok had already moved to the seas to service his father. He roams around to manage storms and floods, Jimin hears from him once in awhile through the fountain waters. Often times he would hear of creatures he'd only dream to see of, Persephone finds solace in knowing though and that was enough.

This year, he was utterly surprised when Taehyung had announced his engagement but Jimin couldn't be any happier. He's heard of the latter's still interest in the goddess of Wisdom's son; but he's never actually seen him. Not that he could because he was disallowed to join any formal gatherings of their family, as Demeter never really deemed him important.

"Persephone! The Garden!" Suhyeon screeched out, stomping over to the blond and grabbing him by the ear. "I told you to tend to the cornfields, do it before I feed you to the crows!"

"I apologize-ah!" Jimin whimpered out, wincing as he feels a sharper tug. "I'll do it now."

"Mom, let go of him!" Taehyung screamed out, peeling his mother's hands off of the blond. Suhyeon refuses to let go, managing to scratch Jimin's cheek in the process.

Jimin hisses at the sting and tries his best to fight back in order to be released from the sharp nails of his mother. Once he's done, he stumbles with his words and clips out another apology as the two of them fall into a heated argument with each other. The blond feels guilt bloom in his chest as Taehyung's previously happy expression was now contorted to anger.

Jimin slips out of the room silently before they could take notice, and runs to the feild without much thought. He trips on the grass and grazes his elbow on the soil when he attempts to catch himself, muffling his sob with his now dirty shirt.

The blond picks himself up, ignoring the blood seeping out of his scratches and makes his way to the cornfield. He's learned of how the plants respond to him, and how his presence can sometimes urge them to bloom.

Flower's have feelings. Jungkook's voice resounded in his ear, the blond smiles through his tears as he caresses the corns gently. Last year on the same day, the God didn't return. Jimin did feel like their last meeting was too short, and he yearned for him even more the longer time he was gone.

The blond had only held onto his two pins for memory, at least when he had those he knew it wasn't a dream for him to be meeting with him.

"Persephone." the voice was sharp, cutting through the wind like a blade.

It makes Jimin lips part in shock because of the intensity, the God had never used that tone on him before and it was terrifying as it was now.

The blond swiftly turns around to face the latter, eyes widening even more at his state.

╔═══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═══╗
Oh, all my emotions
Feel like explosions when you are around
And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh
Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
I need you here to stay

"What happened to you!" Jimin cried out, tears dripping down again as he fusses over the God's state.

Hades was heavily bruised, his face was sporting multiple discolorations and open cuts. Though his hair seemed perfect as it was swept by the wind, Jimin could make out dried blood hanging on the tips of some strands.
