It was another normal day of their not-so-normal life.

Verose was very much bored. It has been a month since the weird incident. All of them had met a lot but none of them, not even once felt like discussing about that incident of that Kai/Jongin. Verose decided to kill her curiosity instead of feeding it.

Just like her childhood, the dreams started again. In which she'd live pretty normal, nothing to unbelievable happens there as it should happen since it's a dream. She lead a weird live in her dreams, the outfits would be pretty and pretty expensive looking hanboks. There would be a few teanage boys as well and did she mention she is a teenager in her dreams these day? Well she is. A pretty one on that as well, the same face as her own.... minus the pimples she had as a teanager . Long hair.  It's seems much like a fairy tale a grandma would tell. They seemed more like memories than dreams but they weren't her, that's for sure.

Who cares whose it is, she enjoys them. Thats all that matters to her.

Weird thing is, those kids in her dreams... They looked so much like Bangtan. Like a boy who has bunny smile like Jungle book , I mean  Jungkook. A kid who has dimples like Namjoon. A kid who has lips like a duck, so much like Jimin.... That's true cutest. A kid with a toothy smile... And  a whole lot of pimples but his face reminded her a lot Taehyung. A kid who would allways be sleeping in another kids lap in her dreams, the would very occasionally wake up and have a poker face.... An unsociable looking one as he would never smile but his actions with the hearty-smile kid show otherwise. There was a kid who seemed to be insecure about his looks, although his face kind of remainded her of Seokjin..... Polar opposites if you ask me. I mean Seokjin does nothing but brag about his good looks that certainly are evident but that kid seems to question his looks......

Wait a second..... They told her that the creepy childhood dream she saw was actually the incident when the were being killed.... or... what it seemed like. Can that mean it's them? I mean they are older than time after all. Fare chances. She would ask them today. Today was actually her of day from 'Magic Shop'.

Scrolling through the internet she saw feed, cool stuffs had in uncovered by the ancient archeologists. It's been a long time since she visited a museum and she had never even been to any museum in Korea. She has always been a nerd, don't judge her by her looks... trust me, a topper she was. That might be on of the reasons she bonds with Namjoon so well, intellects find each other you know. Like me and you 💜.

Namjoon might like the idea and Taehyung, Jimin and Hoseok are always looking for chances to get out of their home. Jungkook wouldn't say no, neither would Seokjin.... Seokjin loves to socialize. Yoongi would never say no if Hoseok goes, from what we know.

But the main question it, are they home today? Or do they have practice?

It was 10 in the morning on pretty early to disturb seven pretty boys but not that late that she wouldn't have time to go if the agree.

She was still in her cozy, a brown sweat shirt with a cookie that has a scowl on his face , who would make such an unhappy cartoon oh...and brown short to go with them. The weather has gotten a little chilly lately. Not as cold to freeze her since it might have a bit of a time to start snowing, the thing she loves about winter.

She wouldn't step out of home with a birds nest on her head so she decided to come her hair , then put it in a messy bun.

Something that really confuses Me is that a messy bun in never actually messy, I mean it was supposed to be done in a quick second but all girls take so much time to achieve perfection on it.

Do you?

*Ding*

She went out of her home and rang the bell of her neighbor's house and for the first time Suga opened the door, which direction did sun rise from today? East or west? Nah it's South, right? Well that's what it seemed like.

His lips were pressed in a very thin line as his habit but as soon as he saw the familiar face , the corner of his lips pushed themselves a little upwards. Forming a smile, not a huge one but nonetheless a smile.

"Y'all home? " She asked without greeting him, the manner and formality period had passed a while ago in their friendship.

"Why " He asked back to his poker face.

"I wanted to go somewhere, would you all like to join? " She asked.

"Ask them yourself " He said.

As she didn't reply anything to that but came inside instead.

All of them were in the living room, three of the youngest were sitting on the floor playing some dumb gave. Paying attention, we could see Taehyung and Jungkook are the one playing while Jimin sat a little away from them, a baby looking pout evident on his full pink lips.

He might've been kicked out of the gave because of cheating, Verose guesses but we know it already.

All the others were mushed up in the couch.

"So.... You I was going somewhere, I was wondering if you guys would like to join " She was hesitating and that intimidating look in Jungkook's eyes ones he looked away from his game to her, it's making words more tough for her to pronounce.... She wonders why.

"Why.... Are you scared Verose" Jungkook teased, and this was the first time he ever pronounced her name.

"No I am not Junglebook.... It's just that I enjoy you guys's company a lot" She teased back as well as all of them broke out of laughter.

"We wanna go " Most of them started cheering.

"But where do you wanna go? " Namjoon asked.

" To a museum " She said.

"That's boring" Jungkook said.

"Then you stay and take care of the home and let us go instead" Seokjin said.

"You stay and home and take care of Yoongi Hyung" Jimin laughed trying to make a joke but Yoongi's deathly glare made him stop.

"So, are you guys coming? " She asked once again, not getting any answer since the boys were lots too in thoughts.

"Okay, I am going..." She couldn't finish her sentence, Jimin whined faster.

"I wanna go with you" -Jimin

"I wanna go out too " Taehyung whined.

"I am quite bored.... I wanna go too" Hoseok said.

" I like museums" — Namjoon.

"So all of us are going, except Jungkook and Yoongi Hyung" Namjoon declared.

Verose cocked an eye brow on Jungkook's direction.

"I... Think I want to go" Yoongi words laced a tone of hesitating. His eyes fixed on Hoseok.

"Wouldn't you wanna take a nap at home alone" Seokjin teased.

"I am not alone and with that kid at home.... You might find his tongue stapled to the wall once y'all come back" Yoongi said.

"Okay so Yoongi Hyung is coming too, so let's start getting ready, Verose you should go home to get ready too" Namjoon advised again.

"W.wait hyung, I wanna come too" Jungkook hesitated to say a bit.

"Oooh, is the Jungle book afraid to stay home alone? " Verose mocked as her revenge to te previous time when Jungkook did the same.

"Yahh stop calling me that......Verose you're really Verbose" He both mocked and stated a fact. She just mocked again showing her tongue like a five year old.

"Okay guys, so I am going to get ready" Verose said  as most of them waved except Yoongi who just nodded.

After she left Namjoon wanted to ask something to Jungkook, no reason ik particular.

"Jonggoo, why do you always keep bothering her? " — Namjoon.

"I...dont know" Was what Jungkook replied, now that his hyung asked he also wondered. Yeah, it's sure that he liked to annoy the girl from day one. He always did, just like he liked to annoy Namyoung.... Why is he bringing he now. He liked to annoy Jiminie hyung too. He just... likes to annoy people that's all. Why is he over thinking.

Seeing Jungkook lost in his own thoughts, Namjoon too the cue to leave to his room to get ready like all the others did.

Jungkook found himself alone standing in the living room like an idiot while others were getting ready. He ran to his room to do the same.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Verose stood in front of her closet, what should she wear? She took a dress in the lightest shade of peach. The dress has bell sleeves that were age are while the dress wasn't, the dress had an affect of looking like a blouse tucked in a high waisted skirt of the same color. The skirt flared till an inch lower than her knees.

She did her everyday makeup, put on a crystal choker and a gem locket hanging on a long chain from her neck and medium tops for her ears. She made two braid on both sides of her head and connected the two together with did the job for the headband but she let two strands of hair loosely fall down from both sides of her head.

*Ding*

She heard the bell rang of her home, she knew it might be the boys. She opened the door and she saw what she expected.

"You look pretty" Jimin complemented.

"Yeah pretty" Taehyung echoed.

"Yeah but not more than me" Seokjin winked playfully, Yoongi rolled his eyes on the elder's childishness.

Jungkook was thinking the same, guess it's not only him who thought the same. But why did those two have to say it to her, now she'd act act arrogant like Seokjin hyung thinking she is the only person beautiful in the world.

Verose ran her gaze on all of them, not checking them out or anything, but to see what they wore.

Seokjin was wearing a normal white tshirt under an unbuttoned shirt with peachy stripes.

Namjoon wore a plain white half sleeved shirt with black pants, but y'all remember what I told you earlier? Even if he wears a potato sack, he'd still look lit... Yeah well he proved it again.

Hoseok wore a half sleeved shirt same colour as Verose's dress, tucked in his white pants.

Jimin wore a vanilla full sleeved sweater with light brown pants an tucked the sweater a little from the front. He might remind you of a vanilla ice cream cone.

Jungkook wore the same sweater in white.

All of them wore very similar looking, but different clothing. All of them wore earthy tones, shades of white and brown.

None of them knew what the other is going to wear yet all of their attire looked quite similar.

"Looks like we accidentally mat he'd outfits" Verose laughed.

"And we all look good " Jimin chirped. Such beautiful sight to see was his childlike eyes turning into the shape of moon.

"Right but let's not talk much, we wouldn't have much time to explore since it's a long way from her and I heard the museum closes at 5 pm. Let's go" Namjoon suggested.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

All of them were sat on the huge car, Seokjin on the drivers seat since he didn't want Namjoon to break the stearing wheel, Namjoon sat on the seat beside the drivers seat. Jimin , Yoongi and Hoseok sat on the next row and  Taehyung, Jungkook and Verose on the last one.

Yoongi being himself . Even in the car and having no place to lean on , he still fell asleep. Maybe he knew Hoseok wouldn't let his head hang like that, because that exactly what Hoseok did once he saw Yoongi asleep he gently took his head and put it on his shoulders.

Seokjin was cracking his dad jokes while all the wake ones were laughing on those.

Namjoon's gaze never left Seokjin's face, maybe he was really enjoying those jokes, ore maybe he was just enjoying to see Jin telling them. Why does it matter?

"You know once I told Taehyung to act mature when we were sending him to blind date, and on the date when the girl asked him what did he do for hobby, he replied by saying taxes" They all broke out laughing while Taehyung had a frown face.

" This wasn't a joke by the way" Jungkook added.

"You know once I asked Yoongi, what'd you want to be in his next life and said either caterpillar or a rock" Jin continued again.

"Why? " She asked.

"Because caterpillars eat a lot and fall asleep then wakeup pretty, and rock doesn't do anything" He started laughing which sounded much like the windshield wipers of a car but way louder.

"Do you know what I do when  I am sad? " Seokjin asked again. No one replied.

"I read my blood donor ID, it's B positive" He started to wheeze again.

"You know why keyboards don't sleep? Because have two shifts" This time Jin didn't even wait for anyone's answer.

All of them were laughing. Most of them had ugly looking laughs but Verose didn't, it was a detail only Jungkook noticed. His eyes fixed on her for no reason and seeing her laugh made him laugh at Jin hyung's boring jokes too.

Jimin noticed Jungkook's behavior without letting him know, Does kookie like her?

The whole ride went smoothly.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"We are here " Seokjin said before climbing out of his car followed by the others mechanically.

Jungkook lend a hand to Verose, since she wrore a skirt it might be tough for her to get out of the car.

Jimin noticed again.

They were in front of a place that looked slot like an ancient Korean palace, it was a one floored building but vast in area.

"Have you guys ever been here? " Verose asked.

"No, we were in Busan and Daegu our whole lives, we came to Seoul this year" Namjoon clarified.

Like a few kids in a park, all of them started to go in different directions.

"Yahh comeback" Jin yelled to all of the boys , since they could get lost.

Verose took a glance at her wrist watch, the time it showed was 2: 12 pm, it still had a lot of time for closing.

She ran like the others too. She walked a bit far from the others since she knew they had time to find eachother.

The room that she entered was a bit far from the others, and shockingly there weren't any people here, not even a a worker.

She could see a very elegant looking flowers vase , the design was almost like those paintings she used to make of cherry blossoms trees.

Then her eyes landed on a piller, not actually the was what she looking at bit the painting hanged on the piller. A beautiful lady in a hanbok, painted with water color.

She stepped a little closer feeling the need to see the face of the painting that somehow dragged her here.

The face..... WAS HER.

VEROSE

SHE COULD SEE HER OWN FACE in the painting.

She went closer to the painting, she ran her fingers over it and something made her eyes moist and heart clench, something she couldn't understand why.

A force of chilly wind hit her and the Bangtan who were a bit far from her a d not in the room.

The light went out, the atmosphere would have been very creepy for anyone but for some reason Verose wasn't scared.

She could feel another presence in the room, a women.

"Do you know you I am? " The voice asked that sounded almost like her own. The voice wasn't any loud than a whisper.

"Who are you " Verose muttered.

"I am you , you are me " The voice said.

"I... " Verose didn't know what to say.

"I know you are understanding" The voice said.

She felt a hand covering her eyes, a hand that felt a little cool.... smelled of cherry blossoms.

"Close your eyes, let me show you " As if the voice was all Verose could hear at that moment.

Verose was shook at the fact that she really was seeing thing with her eyes closed.

As if a movie,

She could see 8 kids playing, a girl and seven boys. The voice were surely the kids she saw in her . The girl looked just like how she looked in her childhood pics. None of the kids can be more than 6 .

They were playing, growing up.

The kid with the bunny smile was now a teen. He was annoying the girl, he pulled her braid and when the girl got angry he started making funny faces to calm her.

All of them looked like a very closely knitted group of friends.

The grew up more.

Now she could see... JUNGKOOK?  The bunny kid grew up into Jungkook and she wasn't even shocked. The girl kid grew up into a teen who looked much like how she used to look like I'm that age just without those pimple acne.

Jungkook would look at that girl with loving gaze and always be around her, annoy her. Namjoon would scold Jungkook , Namjoon looked the same.

Then she saw them as what may look like all of them I'm their 20s . The girl looked exactly the same as her but if possible than more beautiful. Seokjin bloomed like a caterpillar into a butterfly.

What she now saw was a scene of a night, she or that girl was sitting near a rever under a tree. The moonlight illuminated through her , making her look ethereal. Her long hair fell till the ground. She stared the river in deep thoughts and a serious expression on he face.

A little far from the tree she was sitting under, hiding behind a tree Jungkook was observing her and painting her in the canvas.

He never would have the courage to ask her, so he painted her without her knowing.

Verose could now understand the painting on the museum was the same that Jungkook is making. When he was done he carefully went home and the girl didn't even realize.

What she saw  right after were the missing pieces of her puzzle.

She saw the boys with another unfamiliar boy discussing something. All of them were later stabbed, by that same dagger she saw in her dreams and on the note. The boys later layed on beds and looked like they were asleep but she knew they were not .

She saw Kai? She saw Kai taking a dagger and killing her with it.

She whole incident was the same that she saw in her dreams.

She opened eyes and found herself on the corridor. Not even in the room which she felt she was in a moment ago.

Jin is still yelling at the boys. She looked at her watch, it's 2 :12

"What happened? " Namjoon questioned seeing her dazed .

"Nothing" She wouldn't be  able to explain so she decided no too.

Was it all her imagination? Was it her inner self? Is she hallucinating? Was all that real?

"Lets go to that room " Hoseok beemed.

By now Seokjin collected all of the nuckleheads.

All of them went to the room, Verose too once again.

Entering the room, she saw the same flower vace she saw earlier, in the same place where she saw it last time.

Even the painting was in the same place, something about it was not normal. The painting seemed to have a conversation with Verose only by eye contact or at least that's what it looked like.

But looks like Verose wasn't the only one staring it. All of the boys were staring it too.

Jungkook walked up to the painting and ran his fingers over it, shivers ran through Verose's spine. Was it the feeling of deja vu that she was getting?

Under the frame of the painting was written 'A painting made by the son of King Sejong' but how did they know it.

"This painting.... How did it get here " Jungkook questioned, he didn't know he was saying it out loud.

"Is it me? " Verose asked out loud, to no one in particular but just half dazed.

"Maybe " Jungkook answered.

"It's Namyoung, isn't it?" She asked again.

"How do you know" He asked with eyes that flooded way to many questions.

"I.... Just know" Was all she  said.

"Guys I think we should leave this photo frame and look at something else" Namjoon said sensing the atmosphere thickening.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The rest of the day Jin tryed multiple times to lighten the mood, all of them seemed back to normal but something about them looks as if all of the were a little lost.
