MYNE (The Last Guardian Cat) KOOKMIN
Chapter 3

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Tak.. Tak..

Srbshh...

Both eyes open slowly. The first thing he caught in his vision was a thatched roof with a chandelier turned off.

"You're awake.."

A soft voice rang out, Jungkook turned his head before grimacing as a pulse of pain instantly struck. "A-akh.."

"Don't move too much." the call came back.

Jungkook opened his eyes again to see the figure of a tiny teenage boy staring worriedly at him. Jungkook got up to sit with a ringing back heard, with the help of the teenager he managed to sit down and lean on the wall of the board on his back.

"Where's this? what akh. shit hurts so much"

Next to his hand held his stomach before his head immediately lowered to see a white cloth wrapped around his stomach with a lump of whatever behind the cloth right on the part that felt sore on his waist.

"Don't touch.. It's medicine, your waist is hurt because it's pierced by a twig"

That brief explanation was enough to make Jungkook aware of what he had experienced. His eyes were slightly widened with his body frozen.

Damn it. Am I a cat with 9 lives?!

Jungkook. Again he survived death, whether it was his luck or he was as he thought, he had experienced several fateful events and he always managed to survive. Even the incident 8 years ago was only he who survived alone.

"Here drink.."

A glass filled with a brownish clear liquid stretched out toward him. Jungkook was only silent with one eyebrow raised, asking with a gaze fixed right on the blue bead of the teenager before him.

"It's an herbal remedy, a mixture of tea leaves, mint leaves and ginger.." A hand pointed at the few remaining ingredients on a wooden table before they met, "a little bittersweet but this is good for your health."

There was nothing suspicious and did not get a lie from the face with a blue bead so bright because reflected in the sun, He finally received the glass and sipped the concentrated liquid slowly. A bitter taste struck the entire mouth, Jungkook frowned before deciding to take a sip out as the twinkle expected to be reflected from the blue bead caught on his brown bead.

"Wahh.I didn't expect you to spend it in one gulp" exclaimed the teenager enthusiastically taking back the outstretched glass at him.

Jungkook cleared his throat slowly feeling a bitter taste that was still attached to his tongue, his eyes staring at the narrow back wrapped in a leather coat that was behind him.

"So..where is this? and you.. who?" tanyakanya.

"I'm Park Jimin and you're at my house, the southern foothills of the mountain. I found you in a tree in the ravine"

"Yes? hit tree?!"

Jungkook rolled his eyes back a little. Again he survived death. With the condition of the tree should not he have gone after his parents? but he even survived and only injured in some parts of his body such as his head and stomach. ahh. even his legs and hands can still move freely, there are only a few blisters decorate his skin.

Jimin nodded, he turned around then decided to sit on the floor facing Jungkook. His legs were crossed with both hands resting on the floor in front of his body. A pair of eyes with blue beads blinked to notice every move Jungkook made.

Jungkook who was noticed so intensely was certainly feeling awkward, a sense of dejavu suddenly flashed making him frown before a soft voice returned to resuscitate him.

"So, what's your name?"

"Jeon Jungkook's.." Answer Jungkook. His eyes were watching Jimin sitting on the floor

It's like I've seen it. But where? When's?

"Hi master Jeon Jungkook.I'm Park Jimin!" jimin said with his cheerful face. A sweet smile was imprinted from the side of his thick lips.

"ekhem. ah yes, hi Jimin.." reply Jungkook briefly.

Silence re-emerged before Jungkook gasped to realize something. He immediately got up to stand up before sitting back with a ringing that came out because of the pain attacking from his stomach.

"Don't move much, Mr. Jungkook, your wounds are still wet" exclaimed Jimin who stood up and helped Jungkook to recline.

"I have to go back to camp, they're all waiting for me"

"oh— campground? who's on top of that?"

Jungkook nodded quickly, his eyes staring fully at Jimin, "Yes! you know?!" ask Jimin who nodded.

"Uhum. I saw you passing by in the rain last night"

Good.he can definitely show me directions.

"in that case, do you know the way back to the top?" Jungkook asked Jimin who nodded back.

"Good. Let's get me there now!" yells. But now Jimin shook his head, making Jungkook frown on the receipt.

"Kesana is very far away and the road is so steep and slippery"

Jungkook shook his head, "I don't care if you're scared, just show me which way to go"

Again Jimin shook his head, "I'll take you later, but for a few hours this can't be. Your wounds are still wet, a danger if they move too much"

"I don't mind! I can handle it" Jungkook denied, His body rising up trying to stand up. "I can even still— aakhhh"

Groans sounded, his body back sitting on the mattress with a leaning position. "Damn it. shhh" he hissed. The wound on his stomach felt so painful that his pulse felt up to the brain. His eyes glanced at Jimin who was silently staring at him with eyes that blinked.

Jungkook breathed his coarse breath, "Ok, fine.." his legs moved back up on the bed. His head was leaning against the wooden wall with his eyes closed, his breathing long sighing trying to relieve the pain that was still felt. "What time is this?"

"Hour? I don't know, but it looks like it's noon. The sky is so bright"

Jungkook's forehead shriveled, his eyelids opened again and looked at Jimin who was standing near the Window. "You don't have a clock?" ask Jimin who responds with a headband.

"Try looking at the clock on your phone.."

"Mobile? What's that phone?"

Now a question was thrown making the wrinkles on Jungkook's forehead more clearly printed. "Huh?! you don't know cell phones?!"

Jimin shook his head again with puzzled eyes, "what's that?" ask him with lugu.

Jungkook snorted violently with his hands rubbing his own face, "No wonder you don't have a cell phone because you live in a mountain, but.. It's true that you don't know what a cell phone is?!" jungkook exclaimed before his eyes glared slightly as he looked at Jimin who was back to shake his head.

Jungkook closed his eyes for a moment with a long sigh. ”Then, where is my bag. My phone is there"

"Bag? ah yeah, a minute"

Jimin stepped up and stopped right in front of a small wooden cabinet. Jungkook frowned when he saw the contents of the closet that only filled with a few pieces of cloth, there were only about 3 or 4 fabrics that folded neatly. "Your clothes are very little." he chirped without being held back.

"yes, that's more than enough for me. I rarely wear it" replied Jimin who felt strange to Jungkook. A waist bag that looked dirty and slightly wet stretched out towards him. "Bag..this is it, right? I just wiped it with water. Sorry I didn't wash it because my soap was up. I'll do it again"

Jungkook picked up his bag with a frown still imprinted on his forehead. His eyes noticed Jimin's appearance from head to toe. Gray hair that is a little long until the neck looks so alus, small eyes that are slightly narrow with pliable eyelashes protect a pair of blue beads, a small nose that is sharp, and a small nose, the thick lips that look ripe with red color mhda, and smooth skin as white as milk wrapped the body without a speck of blemish or acne stains are enough to make Jungkook sure Jimin is a well-groomed person. Even he was so fragrant, the scent of lavender continues to blow every time he was nearby.

*Ah. He must be lying.

just tell me you don't want to spend your soap to wash my bags. Cih*t*...

"I'm not lying.. My soap is up to wash your cloth" said Jimin as if knowing the contents of Jungkook's mind, making the young man turn his back in shock.

Grudukk...

Jungkook was about to open his voice before the roar of clouds sounded. The bright light that originally entered through the window and the gap of the wall board is now the intensity decreases showing the conditions where the rain will fall soon.

"Ah. wait, I'll pick up your clothes first.."

Jungkook turned his head, saw Jimin who walked towards the door and opened it before the tiny body disappeared from the door that was closed again. His forehead shriveled before he regained consciousness as his head lowered about to pull the phone out of his bag.

It's just cool..

He sat up, apparently aware that he was bare-chested and just wearing his jogger pants. The phone is now held, the jaw is hardened when looking at the phone screen that has long cracked is now increasingly cracked.

"Damn it.." he said when the phone did not want to turn on after several times he tried.

wuushh...

wuushh..

brakh..

The wind again blew, now followed by the door that opened because it was unable to withstand the wind. The outside is visible from the inside. There is a wood crosswise over two long branches stuck in the ground, two pieces of cloth that is the shirt and jacket looks banged on the wood. But Jungkook frowned, the figure of Jimin tal looks at all out there.

"where's he?"

a few minutes of Jungkool waiting. Rain spots are now heard, but Jimin's figure is still not visible. Jungkook who saw his clothes would get wet again because the rain felt it would get heavier, he slowly stood up. Ringisan came out from the side of his thin lips, both feet stepped slowly out.

"Jimin?" calling him after he stopped in front of the door, his head turned to the right and to the left before it jolted back as the sound of lightning rang out with the increasingly heavy speck of rain. He stepped back and tried a little faster to pick up his clothes and go back inside the house.

He put his shirt on the mattress, then a slightly damp jacket he wore to cover his bare chest. His feet again stepped slowly out of the house to look for the whereabouts of Jimin who suddenly disappeared.

Srakh .. Srakh..

a voice sounded from behind the house. Jungkook rolled his eyes with his head lowered to look for something before a slightly thick twig he picked up near the door. Clasping the twig tightly in hand, Jungkook stepped back to check the back.

"Jimin?"

Jungkook stopped his steps. There was not a single person behind, the presence of the tiny body he was looking for was also nowhere to be found. His feet moved closer and closer until he froze with his eyes fixed in one direction, when a brown fur coat lay on top of a furnace.

"Jimin? —akh shh.."

Jungkook stepped quickly with a ringing sounding. His hand took the mantle and circulated around it. Two pieces of cloth were again seen lying near a well. Jungkook widened his eyes.

Not likely..

...----------------...

"All the places you've been searching?" Ian asked. His face was so grim that his jaw was hardening as Mingyu nodded weakly.

"All the places we've explored besides the south side of the foot of the mountain.. We remain not—"

"Why?" Cut Ian in his cold tone, making Mingyu look at him with a puzzled look, "Why don't you guys look for the southern foot of the mountain?! Jungkook could be there!!"

Mingyu shook his head, "Sorry chairman, but the south side is too dangerous because the ground is so slippery and steep. The mountain guard has also banned us from entering the South area because—"

"DUMB TIME WITH BAN IS DAMN! MY SISTER DISAPPEARED AND WAS NOT FOUND ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THERE!!"

All speechless, Ian's yelling that snapped successfully made all bodies fall silent stiff with heads lowered. No exception with Mingyu who was even snapped straight by the figure before him. A rough gasp of breath sounded before a sentence made his eyes widen.

"I will look for it myself" said Ian then immediately put two flashlights that he had previously placed on the consumption table into his waist bag.

"Don't! Ian.. there's too dangerous! The mountain guards forbid us because it's a restricted area. Many are not bis—"

"Shut the*****Up!" furious he cut, he hissed with a sadistic look staring towards Mingyu. "I don't care. You know? I'm not afraid of death, anything I'll do to find my sister.." her hands jerked roughly, removing Mingyu's grip on her arm.

Parachute jacket he buttoned up to the neck, hooded jacket he put and then stepped about to go down into the forest before a sound stopped him.

"I'm with oppa!"

Ian turned his head, his sharp eyes caught the figure of Somi who was staring at him with swollen eyes that were still draining tears. He turned his head and looked flat at Mingyu then at Wonho who was standing next to the girl.

"Don't let him get away from you and always keep an eye on him. report to the guard post if it's been past 24 hours of losing Jungkook" he ordered briefly before stepping back away, leaving Somi who was screaming roared wanting to join the rebellious body that was immediately held strong by Wonho.

Whatever I'm gonna do..

My life and my death for the only precious treasure I have..

Jeon Jungkook's..

...----------------...

The deg!

Not likely...

Jungkook stepped slowly near the well, all sorts of negative thoughts popping up after recognizing the cloth lying near the well was Jimin's. His head gradually moved forward to peek at the contents of the well.

Couldn't Jimin have drowned in the well because of the wind?

His feet stepped slightly with his head getting closer to the well hole.

"Mr..."

Brugh..

"ASTAGA— aarghh shh..."

Jungkook fell face down. The pain back attack is now added from his head that stumbled on the well wall. Jungkook groaned and confirmed his position so he sat leaning with his eyes fixed on a horned cat standing before him.

"Akhh shh you again. Since when are you here?!"

The cat did not respond. He only moved four legs to and fro with a wagging tail. Jungkook sighed, he gasped before returning to the shortest of his initial goals was to find Jimin.

Slowly he got up and held on to the edge of the well he looked inside, "Jimin? you there?!!" call him with eyes looking away trying to see into a puddle of water. But the water was so calm, as had not been touched by any object, making Jungkook become doubtful with the thought of Jimin who was splashed by the wind.

"If not here.. keep— you!! YOU ATE JIMIN?!"

Jungkook yelling. With bulging eyes, his index finger pointed right at the face of the horned cat who was now closing his eyes. "Miauws?"

"NO PLAIN SOK! CONFESS!!" snapped again. His hands crumpled the cloth of Jimin's clothes that felt dry in his hands, "Jimin disappeared and you're here! all clothes jimin and in a dry state —eh?"

Jungkook fell silent, again he noticed Jimin's clothes with his eyes twitching. His hands touched the entire surface of the cloth and his eyes revealed Jimin's pants and coat, which were still on the ground.

Everything is clean. and dry ..

If an animal should...

"Mayorww..."

"Eh eh?! Don't touch me!" jungkook exclaimed in panic as his legs were headed and sniffed at the cat's muzzle. Of course he immediately pulled his legs away, then his forehead shrunk when he saw the cat sticking its muzzle to the ground and then occasionally turning in place.

"What?"

"Miaow.. "

The cat again did the same thing, spun in place and attached a muzzle to the ground.

"is there something there?"

jungkook slowly changed his position to crawl, then approached timidly to check what the cat was trying to show. "ahh... you want to show this?"

"Mrou.." The cat meowed then stepped back as Jungkook approached.

Jungkook slightly brought his face closer to the ground, his eyes trying to notice there was a sculpture of writing there. "This what the hell? the writing?" muttered. His forehead shriveled trying to see clearly.

"I. e—epurgi. ahh go.." Jungkook tilted his head. He tried to read random writing that seemed to be written with twigs or anything that was sharp.

"I go first. a—ada.. I have something to finish. Is this Jimin's writing?"

Jungkook sat down, his eyes still focused on trying to read all the words printed on the ground. "ahh right, this is Jimin. okay, repeat.."

"I'll go first. I have something to do and it was sudden. L'm.. Cat... I— hah eloquent!" Jungkook grumbled as the writing got more random at the end until he could not read it. he snorted, "already, the point is he left again. But why his clothes— he's naked??"

Jungkook blinked his eyes, all the thoughts that entered made his face involuntarily blush. Before long he cleared his throat awkwardly, then again saw the horned cat in front of him who was looking at him with a moving tail.

"You.. Jimin's?"

The cat did not answer and turned around by biting the coat lying on the ground and then dragged it towards the door of the house. Jungkook snickered, how could Jimin leave him alone with this giant horned cat?

Not wanting to linger due to the increasingly heavy rain, Jungkook also painstakingly stood up and picked up Jimin's clothes and stepped into the house.
