Jungkook and Taehyung sat on the bench as Jungkkook began to tell the other about 'his world'.
Jungkook took a breath and began to talk. "so, well you already know I am a real wizard. Like your books, fantasies and all. It's once a blue moon chance to ever meet one, since we are actually not allowed to show our true identity to the othersiders or what we like to call them, 'upsiders'. People from the other side, you, you are an upsider. It's a parallel world like yours. The only difference is that My world is magical and yours is just... Basic."

"another world? Is that where all these things you got here come from?"

"Yes, Zuzu was born there too. These giant flying animals live in the wild there, in the sky oceans. Quite hard to befriend one, but such lovely and loyal creatures. They will be your friend until the end. Best companion you can find out there '' Jungkook smiled proudly. "but yes, most of my drawings are made from places in my own land. And now I am exploring yours. Noting differences, I am kind of stuck here now, and I can not stop moving."

"why not? And why look in my world if you have a whole magic land where you come from?!"

"because i was searching for you." Jungkook said and sighed. "Look, I am not a free man inside my own world. Neither here. They want me caught, I have been sentenced to death for murdering you. Which i didnt! I had to find you so they could see you're alive and buy myself time to figure out who killed you. And.... I..."Jungkook trailed off and went silent. "nevermind"

"what is it?"

"i just...I uhh.." Jungkook looked nervous to say it. "i couldn't live without you. But I don't want to make you uncomfortable, you don't know anything about me. You're a different Parallel Taehyung. I will start back from zero, i will pretend we meet first time."

"oh...I see...So we..Well him? Me? Were close?"

"not close close. But we were close friends. We met in secret, I would show you cool tricks and abilities I've learned. I felt mo-happy with you. So it broke my heart when I found his, your, body there lifeless. Left for the braineaters to feast on, not even a proper burial. Just robbed your body and left you. Just cruel....'' Jungkook sighed and teared up looking away. "i want to find who is responsible and put an end to this war, this conflict between me and my people. I want to avenge your death in my world. And for that i will need you."

"i understand. But I'm not like you... I'm just a normal human, I am not even a fighter. How will i fight a war?"

"things will become more clear later. I can not tell you everything yet, I don't want to shock you with things from my world. It will only confuse you more. All I can say is that you don't need to worry, you will be fine. You're stronger than you think. And you have me, of course me. I will be your protector. I brought you on this adventure so i will be responsible for your life safety. I will not let you end up like my world Taehyung. This time I will fix what happened and you will be safe."

"I'm not sure if I feel trusting of those words or hesitant..." Taehyung chuckled, a bit puzzled.

"i get that a lot. Am I that confusing? Maybe that's why people always leave mid conversation with me...Hmm" jungkook rubbed his chin and looked in front of him. "Uhm, yea. That's the main line. Anything else you want to know?"

"at the moment..  Not really. I will first you know, process all this. "taehyung chuckled.

"Alrighty then, shall we head inside. The air is going to get very cold once we are near the mountains. '' Jungkook stood up from the bench to walk them to the cabin on the shell.

"where exactly are we going?" Taehyung asked while following Jungkook over the field to the cabin.

"We are going to Tyrano Kingdom, a city built on top of the icy mountains. I am going to stop there for a few days before continuing my travel."

"Why aren't you going to your own world now? I'm here now you just show me to them and it will be fine right?"

"i wish it was that easy. But my people are looking for me. They followed me into your world. I am running from them until I can go back without being ambushed by them. So I stay here in your world for now, and besides I don't want to scare you off right away with all the craziness in my world. I want you to be comfortable here with me and Zuzu first!"

"oh, that's nice of you. Im sure i will be fine once i am used to...Being so high in the air"

The two went inside of the cabin and immediately taehyung awed. It was so cozy inside, and warm. In the living room was a smoldering fire that seems to have stopped burning not too long ago.

"Oh, the fire is out. Can't let it get cold here or we will freeze tonight" Jungkook chuckled and he did an elegant movement with his hand to the smoldering wood chunks and they caught fire. Big hot flames rose up and started warming up the room.

"Oh my god! You just did fire! How did you do that?!" Taehyung said with wide surprised eyes.

"magic of course. You'll get to see more of it soon enough" Jungkook smiled and took off his coat hanging it on the steel rack that was next to the door. A few other elegantly detailed coats hung there already. It really looks like Jungkook was a wealthy man seeing the way he dressed himself.  "i will show you the bedroom. I sadly have only one bedroom, my bed is two separated so I will push one over to the side. We will have to be in the same room, i hope you don't mind it?"

"oh, no thats alright." Taehyung nodded.

"Great, then I will take you up and let you unpack your things." Jungkook said and turned to the right where a circling staircase was. Most of the house was made of dark brown wood with floating light balls around the room for lighting up the spaces.

It was all very fascinating for taehyung. He never could have dared to dream this was all real, that things like this really existed out there. And now he was actually seeing it all with his own eyes.

"here we are" Jungkook opened the door and it revealed a spacious bedroom with a huge bed in the middle with green and gold blankets.  "let me take these aside, '' Jungkook said and waved his hand to the right. As he did that movement the right side of the bed moved to the right side of the room until it hit the wall and came to a stop. "there, this will be your bed. I have extra space in my closets.  You can use all the free space there is to store your things. I will let you look around and wait for you downstairs in the living room." Jungkook smiled. He was clearly amused by how he kept surprising taehyung with his wizard abilities. With a chuckle he left the room.
