Take Me to the Sky✔️

Chapter - 64

After a deep breath, he replied, "Okay, I will."

The smile on Jungkook's face could rival Hoseok's in his best days, and that was to say because Hoseok was a little piece of the walking sun.

"But I warn you, if you ever let go of my hand, I'll kill you." Yoongi threatened him, pointing a finger at him.

"You know I would never do that, Hyung," Jungkook told him as he got up and pulled him like a child would do when he wants to teach his discoveries to his parents.

After Hana and Jungkook explained what he would find once he got inside, Yoongi felt he was ready to try it. Jungkook was the first to sit on the edge of the pond, Yoongi following his lead and sitting next to him and shaking his hand. Around him the light had changed to a more orange hue, and Yoongi wondered for a moment what time it was. What used to be insects hovering around the place were now fairies, just as they were described in the books. He couldn't see his features, but he saw his human form every time they passed around the two of them, his wings emitting a soft glow of different colors and hues.

"At three, we jump alright?"

Yoongi nodded his head. When Jungkook got to three, the two of them jumped up and jumped into the pond. Yoongi was still holding onto Jungkook's hand as the surface water gave way to a dark, silent void. Their gems glittered after a few seconds of being in the void, and the two of them allowed themselves the luxury of breathing easily. Almost instantly, a path, blurry at first, opened before them. As they walked through it, more vegetation appeared, and it became clearer, as if it were something real and not a product of the pond.

"The first time I was here, it was not this way. In its place was some kind of swamp and dead plants. It was pretty depressing." Jungkook commented as they walked down the path. With their hands clasped, it was as if they were walking around instead of in the pond. A pond that connected them directly with the heart and essence of the tree.

"It's good to see the fruits of your work," Yoongi said sincerely, earning a small smile from Jungkook.

Just a few feet away, the two of them saw more than just a dirt road and vegetation. Before them, a lake became visible, with a tree in its center and a stone path over the water that led to it.

"You painted this, Jungkook," Yoongi said stunned and marvelled at the boy's precision and attention to detail. The drawing he had made was an exact copy of the place where they were.

"I haven't been here since that time." Yoongi turned to look at him, asking with his eyes how he might have drawn something so close to reality. "I just dreamed about it. And you were in that dream, that's why I asked you to tell me what you felt. I thought that you too could have dreamed of this place without remembering it."

"That was months ago." He commented as they got closer, walking carefully not to slip on the wet rocks. "I'm glad to see that the tree looks better."

"You were the one who told me to leave it black and white, Hyung." Jungkook defended himself, turning on his face.

"I know. But I could only focus on what was hanging from the tree. I couldn't see it without colour. It was made to shine."

"Of course it is. All that hangs from its branches and glows are gems, ready to be released and brought to the surface, where the fairies collect them. Then they go to the showroom for people to find their own."

"They are beautiful." He said marvelling at the brilliance of the gems. "It's a shame I can't take a picture. It would look great as wallpaper or hanging on the living room wall."

I'm glad you like it, Min Yoongi.

Yoongi was startled and looked around, searching for the owner of that voice.
