《Dawn Of The Lilies》Lavender
Advertisement
Weeks had passed by and Taehyung could always be found with an expressionless Jungkook by his side. Which had upset his friend Jimin. But Taehyung just couldn't get enough time with the beautiful boy.
"Am I not good enough?" Jimin whined his pink hair falling over his eyes as he pouted with his full lips out. Taehyung placed a hand on his cheek.
"You are, and we are still friends. I just want to get to know Jungkook."
Jimin pulled away a look of confusion played on his face knitting his brow. "Robot Boy?"
Taehyung nodded then frowned. "Briggs said not to call him that."
"Tae..." Jimin started stopping momentarily to mix his ingredients in the pot. Taehyung's lips formed a straight line making his dimples pop, his eyes watching, moving back and forth from Jimin to the pot, to the ingredients. Scratching his head Jimin looked over after he was satisfied with the result. The smell of sage and lavender surrounding them seconds later.
"Ooo...." Taehyung cooed happily. Jimin beamed at him.
"Do you like it?" He asked excitedly. Taehyung nodded breathing in the scent heavily. It reminded him of the lavender cove in The Hollows.
"I love it....so...so...much."
Jimin hugged him, and then said what he was going to say. " you do know if you fall for him it won't end well for either of you."
"What do you mean?" Taehyung asked confused.
"Tae baby... he is like a robot, a rock if you will... No offense Yoongi..."
"None taken," grumbled a sleepy boy with red hair curled up in a ball on his table.
"He doesn't even know what love is. Let alone be able to Express that to you. Besides that, how do you know he is into guys? No one knows. He doesn't show anything." He explained halfheartedly.
"I want to try..." he whispered his feelings were hurt, and the glow on his skin faded slightly. Alarming Jimin which startled the sleeping boy, making him fall off his table. Luckily for him he has cat-like reflexes. Wouldn't call it his ability though.
"Tae...I'm sorry... please don't be sad." Jimin said worried, while wrapping his arms around the boy. His head resting in the center of Taehyung's back. "I just don't want you to get hurt."
Taehyung nodded his eyes fixed on a tree outside the building. The leaves were rustling quite a bit, and whatever was in them kept turning the leaves black. It must have felt him staring because it stopped abruptly and stared back. It's electric blue eyes beckoning him to come outside. "Uh...uh...I'll be... right back." He whispered before unhooking the smaller boy's arms and running outside towards the creature.

It looked much like a bunny up close minus the fangs that hung from its lips. It's little nose twitched, and its ears went up like a bunny, but the tips were like long strands of hair that whipped back and forth. It didn't speak to him like the others. It invaded his mind instead. Its ears reaching and slipping into his own lifting him off the ground.
You are the Angel from the Hollow... it said in a cute little voice.
what do you mean? Taehyung thought.
You can save us... give us your light. It begged him. He knew he couldn't, this creature was dark. It looked cute, and scary at the same time. But otherwise Taehyung could sense its hatred.
I cannot help you...
It hissed releasing him from its hold. Setting the tree on fire as it scurried towards the woods. Every creature in the hollow was getting restless. They wanted to be released, but they can't. They needed a warrior, someone who was relentless. Someone who could take down Wang. But Wang destroyed Amari when he poured the darkness in him. Taehyung was only able to save the Faun, but his ability had left him. His mind broken from the torment over the years. He was the one they prayed could save them. Alas, he could not.
"Shadow bunny...." Taehyung said pursing his lips. Jimin walked out beside him placing a hand on his shoulder. A sense of calm released through Taehyung's body. "Hmmm...that's nice.
" he murmured. Jimin smiled.
"The Hollow is restless... they need a warrior." Taehyung sighed disappointed. Jimin thought about it. " what kind of warrior?"
"Someone of light and Darkness... Someone who can bare the Dawn of the Lilies. To rival Wang... so we can have peace."
They both stared into the tree line listening to the sound of little feet scurrying across the forest floor. "Who would do it though..." he pondered. "At what risk?" Jimin chimed in handing him a vial of light blue liquid. After a few minutes both boys looked up to see Jungkook walking towards them. Both coming to the same conclusion.
"Jungkook"
"Robot boy"
Taehyung smacked his arm. Jimin grimaced but smiled at him.
"Did you call me?" Jungkook asked as he came to stop in front of them. Taehyung shook his head and gestured towards Jimin.
"We think you could be a savior." Jimin blurted out.
"That's hot..." a grumpy voice complained from behind. All three boys looked over at Yoongi who was rocking his shoulders and throwing his head back in front of the burning tree. Slowly the flames dissolved, and the sleepy boy curled up on a patch of grass falling back to sleep.
"He fascinates me..." Taehyung mused. Jungkook gave a blank stare. Jimin just agreed with Taehyung. "Same." But it wasn't Yoongi he was staring at.

Good lord he was hot. Aside from his monotone voice, and stoic expression. He was something else. Taehyung elbowed me in the ribs.
"Ouch!" I whined. The Robot Boy stood unfazed by anything that happened. Although he did step forward when I put Tae in a headlock. Protective? Hmm...
"So, uh... do you like boys or girls?" I asked him to make Taehyung blush like 4 different shades of red. Jungkook looked at me and then Taehyung.
"What do you mean? He asked his tone flat.
"Which one would you rather fuck?"
At this question Taehyung screamed. Shoving me away from him breathing hard.
"Fuck?"
Taehyung shook his head furiously at me. "You are terrible! He shrieked grabbing the boys hand and dragging him off towards the ice fountain.
"Taehyung let go." Demanded Jungkook tugging on his arm. Taehyung released his hold apologizing and moving to sit down on the ledge of the fountain.
Jungkook just stared at the ice fountain, speaking again after a while. " What did he mean?"
I walked up and responded to the question before Taehyung. " It's like a preference. Something that is visually pleasing. Do you find men more pleasing to the eye than woman or vis versa."? I waited trying to see if it had made sense.
"I don't know..." he concluded finally.
"We could test it." I responded quickly the wheels in my mind turning fast. All I needed was a girl. Where was Addi?
Poof!
"Right here Jiminnie!" The girl giggled happily as she hugged my waist. I hugged her back, noticing she had shoved yet another ring through her ear. Which meant she was close to mastering her trade. "Seven more to go. Right?" I asked lightly touching the rings with my fingertips. She smiled wide. "Yes! I am progressing well."
I pulled away from her then lowered my eyes to hers. "Want to do me a favor?" I asked. Watching Taehyung fold his arms across his chest behind her in irritation. He didn't like when I toyed with the fairies. But Addi always came when I said her name. Which made it all too easy.
"Could you help me run a test with my friend here." I gestured toward the Robot Jungkook.
Taehyung scoffed which made Addi jump and hide behind me. She then nodded into my side.
"Great." I said looking at Taehyung with a mischievous grin. He frowned at me, but all I was doing was getting the answers he wants. I am a scientist after all. "Do you want to or should I Tae?"
He blushed hard looking down at the ground. So, being the person I am. I stepped up to Jungkook, inches from his face about to place a nice little kiss on him. When I felt myself get pushed away. Jungkook looked over at me then back at Taehyung who was now standing directly in front of him.
"What do I do?" Jungkook asked. His innocence was adorable. Maybe I shouldn't have this test. But, I'm so curious now.
"Stand still... Tae and Addi will do the test."
He just nodded his expression never changing. Addi's wings fluttered in excitement as she was told what she needed to do. She too found him exquisite. Her words not mine. Not that it really matters.

TAEHYUNG
I don't want to do this. But I don't want Jimin to either. He was a trickster, and he knew how to push my buttons. More so now because he knew I liked the beautiful boy standing directly in front of me. He just stared back blankly. Which was unnerving, but the little fairy was practically sparkling with excitement. I almost want her to go first. But, something about being the first person to kiss him meant everything to me. Taking a deep breath, I stepped closer to him. My hands taking both sides of his face in them. He didn't budge other than looking at my hands then back at me. My heart fluttered nervously in my chest. Everything around me became blurry except for him. His lips parted slightly as if to say something, and that was my cue. I leaned in capturing his lips in mine. My heart skipped a beat as a warmth spread through me. Much like my ability to heal. But, better... it felt so good. What I felt next was someone's hands in my hair. It was Jungkook's hands. He was kissing me back. My eyes shot open in surprise. Jungkook's cheeks were slight shade of pink, and what looked like a tear pooled in the crease of his right eye that was still closed. Even though I had pulled away at this point, causing his hands to fall instantly to his side.
He stood there his eyes closed, breathing heavily hands clenched tightly. What was happening to him? I looked over at Jimin who looked flabbergasted. Addi looked like she had just seen someone kick a puppy and was on the verge of crying.
"Jimin?" I started, only to see Jungkook flinch at the sound of my voice and run away quickly not looking back at any of us.
"I think you have your answer." Jimin said in an incredulous tone. I stared after Jungkook his figure disappearing into the trees.
"Shit... The Hollows!"
