"You are the sunlight that has risen in my life
The return of my childhood dreams
I don't know what this feeling is
Is this a dream too?"
A scream echoed throughout Jungkook's room. He jolted up from his sitting position on the bed and slammed the bathroom door open and took in the scene unfolding in front of him.
Y/n was there sitting on the floor with her hands blocking the water coming towards her with force from the faucet as she seemed to struggle to stand.
Jungkook shook his head and approached the jacuzzi where she was lying.
"Stop it, this instant!!" She ordered the water as Jungkook laughed while turning off the water.
"Oh my lord. That was wild." She sighed and tried to stand up only to fall on the floor again. She winced in pain, rubbing her butt.
"What happened?" Jungkook helped her to stand. Her light body nothing in his arms. She sighed and stepped out of the jacuzzi.
"Can't I just bath at the fountain?" She asked, folding her arms. Her clothes was wet all over and she was starting to feel cold.
Jungkook laughed at her words. He almost forgot that she was new to this world. Y/n felt her cheeks burning at his laugh. Whether it was in embarrassment or joy of hearing his laugh for the first time, she couldn't figure out.
"I'll teach you, wait." He said and signaled her to sit on the tool nearby, before standing up and stepping in the jacuzzi.
The next ten minutes Jungkook was engrossed in teaching y/n about the stuffs which she tried to grasp in her mind with some nods and question here and there.
She found the things really interesting and comfortable.
"So? Do you think you can not fall on the floor now?" Jungkook took a towel from the cabinet and ruffed his hair with it. His clothes were wet so he needed to change them.
Y/n nodded and smiled. "Of course, I'm more intelligent than you think. And with my powers, I can learn anything."
And there, her smugness returned and Jungkook rolled his eyes. They were doing just fine before she had to speak like that.
"Whatever. Just get yourself done fast." Jungkook sighed and headed towards his room. Changing his clothes, he plopped down on the bed.
"Sh*t." He hissed as the contact on the bed made his wounds and bruises hurt. He had forgotten about his wound. Ignoring the pain, he let himself fall asleep due to exhaustion.
➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶
Y/n wore the black clothes and smiled at herself in the mirror. Why did not the Deities appreciate this colour? She could only wonder.
Stepping out of the bathroom, she looked at the bed where he seemed to be asleep. The bed was big enough for two people to fit in but suddenly she reconsidered her idea about sleeping on the same bed with a human.
She wasn't anywhere near sleepy so she looked around his room. The room really appealed to her. She looked out of the window towards the dark sky.
The moon wasn't out tonight. Just the clouds and darkness keeping each other's company. Hearing some sounds, she looked back at Jungkook who shifted in his sleep while whining in pain.
Y/n was beside him in some seconds, looking at his curled form. He didn't look like the man who was rude to her just some time before but a fragile human who she could hurt any second.
Her eyes flickered towards the corner of his lips. His bruises were visibly as she winced at the sight.
"Oh right. He was beaten up." She whispered and placed the blanket over him.
Even a small movement or touch made Jungkook hiss in his sleep. Y/n bit her lip and looked around. The other humans were probably asleep. She sighed and looked at the boy in front of her.
Bringing her hands towards his forehead, she closed her eyes and summoned her powers. Opening her eyes, she saw that his bruises were starting to cover up with a healthy layer of skin.
Smiling at her work, she stood up from her crouched position. Wondering what she would do, she headed out of the room and walked downstairs to the living room.
Sitting on the couch, she stared at the television that was across her curiously. It was pitch black but was shining from the lights reflected through its surface.
Laying down in a rather comfortable position, she thought about her necklace. Will she ever find it? What happens if she doesn't? It was a question that was shaking her to the core all day.
What if she diminishes as a deity and die that instant? What if she becomes a evil being and hurt others? What if.....
There were so many 'what if' s in her mind. But one thing for sure, if she ever got her necklace back, she would never leave it out of her sight. Hold onto the essential with her life.
Loading her brain with many overthinking she finally felt her eyelids fall after some hours.

Jungkook's POV
Shifting on my position, I opened my eyes to be greeted with the sunlight peering through the windows into the room. With a sigh, I turned my back towards it and closed my eyes to sleep.
My eyes flew open when I realized that the deity was supposed to be sleeping beside me. But the other side of the bed was cold and untouched.
Was it my dream? I began to wonder when I didn't feel the pain in my body. What the?
Did nothing happen? Did I not encounter those men and did I not meet that deity? Shaking my head, I stood from the bed and headed off onto the bathroom.
Her clothes were in the basket so I concluded that it was not a dream after all. Did she return where she belonged to?
I took a quick shower and changed into comfortable clothes.
It was really early as I could hear the birds chirping beside the window. My stomach grumbled and I dashed downstairs. I needed food.
I quickly took out some cereal and milk before making myself comfortable on the counter.
Looks like hyungs are still asleep. I really appreciate their hard work and their protective behavior towards me. They're worth more than my life. I sighed and looked around.
Maybe y/n did go away. Why did we even let her stay here? I don't want the history to repeat again. But she did save us. What would have happened if we were captured by his men?
My thoughts were halted on full stop when I saw a hand on the couch. Girl's hand. Is that y/n?
I stood up and walked towards the living room as silent as I could be since she's a deity and might hear me or sense something approaching her.
I looked over the couch to see her sleeping with my clothes. Why did she like black so much?
I found myself staring at her. Her lips were parted to let out her soft breathing as she curled up herself on the couch with her right leg and hand over the arm of the couch. She slept so peacefully. Why didn't she sleep upstairs?
I heard footsteps behind me which made me snap myself out of my stare. Rushing to the kitchen, I sat on my previous seat as Tae hyung slumped his way downstairs while rubbing his eyes. He was still wearing pajamas and looked like he was just awake.
"Hey, Kookie." He yawned and stalked towards me. I replied to him with a good morning getting a lazy nod in return.
"How was your night?" I choked on my cereal and coughed multiple times before regaining my composure. His smirk was all on his lips with a look of glory on his face.
"Fine." I shrugged and didn't try to look offended. I knew what he was implying and I wanted to pretend that I didn't know what he was talking about.
"Oh? Who's that? Y/n?" Hyung commented and marched towards the living room, the couch to be specific. I followed him in fear of him waking her up.
Tae hyung chuckled and turned to me to give me a look of disbelief, "you let her sleep here? In an uncomfortable place? How so much gentleman like."
"I was asleep already! And she was bathing so I didn't know if she stayed or left." I scowled at him. It wasn't my fault and I was glad that I got to sleep on the bed alone.
"Okay, whatever." Taehyung hyung turned around to face y/n again. I looked at the stairs to see the five others coming down.
They saw y/n and looked at me. Now don't tell me that they also blame me.
"It's under control. She willingly came down here, he didn't do anything but slept before they even reached the room." Tae hyung informed the others and I huffed and sat on the couch across her.
"Anyways, why are we even letting her live here? It's not like we're friends or something." I folded my arms and smiled at Jimin hyung who nodded in approval before sitting beside me.
"Whatever you say." Tae hyung retorted and looked down at y/n. "Isn't she just cute like this? I always wanted a daughter like her."
We all cringed at him bringing up about the babies again.
"Anyways, what do we do for today?" Hoseok hyung sat beside Jimin hyung.
"We'll look for the way to track those men who attacked Jungkook while he goes to work." Namjoon hyung commented while walking towards the kitchen.
"I can skip the work for some days and help you all." I groaned and looked at them in hope. "This matter includes me too."
They all shook their head at me.
Their heads snapped towards y/n when she fell off the couch with a thud. Tae hyung smiled sheepishly as he was the one who brushed her hair around her nose and ears to wake her up.
"For heaven's sake!!" She groaned and sat up on the floor, her back was turned towards me but I could imagine the glare plastered on her face.
Tae hyung raised his hands in surrender. "And that's how I'll wake my daughter up."
"I'm not your daughter! It was so peaceful to sleep like that." Y/n whined and folded her legs in a sitting position. "You should realize that you should respect me. For I have studied that you mortals live for around 70 years. Do you know that's not even half of the life I've lived." Her voice was laced with proudness.
"Oh right. How old are you?" Yoongi hyung propped his elbow on the couch, standing just beside Tae hyung.
"I don't keep the count since some other deities are responsible for that but I guess more than two hundred?" She shrugged and stood up from her place and sat on coffee table with her legs swinging back and forth. "So yeah, respect me."
Hoseok hyung snickered beside me and y/n snapped her head towards us. "Come on, you look like a teenager."
"Well, I might look like one but I'm not. Deities are too old and they don't age." She said and shook her shoulder up and down.
"So you're implying that I look too beautiful despite my age? It's okay. I also know that." She said and to my irritation no one said anything but moved on from the talk.
Why is she so full of herself? If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that deities and Gods were supposed to be kind hearted and not so rude.
"Y/n, when will you return to your place? I mean no offense but we know nothing about you despite being with us." Jimin hyung said voicing out my own thoughts.
Y/n stared at him silently as her eyebrows creased in together. "You're bothered with me being here."
The awkward silence was finally chased away when Tae hyung had returned from the kitchen and handed a cup of coffee to y/n.
"Do you take foods and drinks?" He asked y/n. He knew it obviously but some deities would rather like not eating anything.
"Of course, I do." Tae hyung smiled at her words. Y/n continued, "If it's made by you."
Tae hyung pinched her cheeks as she sipped on the drink with her back towards us.
Rolling my eyes, I got up and went to my room to get ready for work. At least I would be away from that so-full-of-herself deity.
I went downstairs and ate the breakfast prepared by Jin hyung.
"Does that mean I can stay here?" I heard y/n talking to Namjoon hyung. Paying attention to them, I kept my eyes on my plate.
"Yes. We don't have a problem with that. Since you said that you're searching for something and you don't wanna tell us what it is, though we understand since it's your personal matter. And it might be hard to go anywhere without someone with you." Namjoon hyung paused and looked around at all of us.
"You can trust us. Since we're actually familiar with beings like you." He continued about him teaching her the lifestyle of humans so she could be careful about her identity.
She looked like a child being taught alphabets for the first time. But definitely not cute.
I cringed at my thoughts and ate in hurry since I might be late for work.

Your POV
The day had passed quickly. Namjoon took some spare time to show me things in the black shiny thing called TV.
Even humans could appear on the surface. Props to those who made it since it looked so amusing. He also told me about how humans aren't aware of immortal beings like me. They might freak out and call me a freak.
It was nice being with him. He was smart and thoughtful unlike that angel-faced Jimin.
He had gone to some sort of meeting with the other boys. And I gladly accepted to not to be involved and roam outside near the fountain.
Looking at the water body in front of me, I wondered about my necklace. Will I ever get it? I sat on a block near the fountain and felt embarrassed when Namjoon said that this fountain thing is not meant to be bathed in. It was just a decoration.
What might have Jungkook thought of me? And why do I care? Is his handsome trait affecting me? I huffed and crossed my arms. That would never happen.
I stood from my place when I felt powers around me. Not mine but someone else's.
I was in an alert position already. I didn't want to die.
I looked at the water and looked around to see that the area was being covered by gray fog. A chill ran down my spine when I saw the water swirl around.
Soon enough, my eyes were daring to bulge out of my skull when a figure came out of the water.
What is he doing here??
Who might "he" be?
One thing for sure, expect the unexpected.
