By the time they are away from civilization, night has fallen and Yoongi demands sleep. Jimin wants to go a little further, for there may be some guesthouse they can stay in, but sleepy former dragon claims his legs aren't supposed to work this hard because he should be flying instead.    Jimin sighs and wishes he could sew Yoongi's mouth shut.   "Stop guilt-tripping me." Jimin says as he points to a grass field. The boy from the village is the first to run ahead, dumping his stuffs on the ground and lies down on the field, the starry sky is their roof tonight.   Jimin settles down a little further from him, and Yoongi sits down in the middle. "I need to make myself feel special," he says as he tugs the blanket from Jimin and turns to the side.    Jimin sits and stares. That's all he can do—stare, sigh, mentally murder Yoongi.    "Okay, since we're going to travel together, it's best we get to establish some rules." He eyes Yoongi. "First, my name is Jimin."   "Yoongi, or AHHH!"   The youngest boy giggles at Yoongi—or his now godfather. "My name is Taehyung."   "Good." Jimin continues. "Second, there's an unwritten rule that I am this team's leader."   "Ugh," Yoongi pokes Jimin's leg with his toe. "I am the leader."   "No ." Jimin lets out a mocking laugh. "I am the leader."   "No, I am!"   "I am!"   "Me!"   "No, me!!"   Taehyung sits up too. "How about we're all leaders?"   "No!" Both Jimin and Yoongi shout at the same time. Taehyung pouts a little and makes a zipping gesture to his lips.    "That's not how leadership works." Jimin says again in a softer tone. "I know the most among us, so it's logical that I am to lead this journey. Yoongi, what do you even know about this world? You asked me to take you to that person, remember?"   "Yeah, but it'll make me feel good if I get to lead. You're too bossy and unhelpful and lazy, I don't trust you."   "You don't trust me?" Jimin scoffs. Out of all the thing to say… "Excuse me, but who helped you to be who you are right now?"   "Uh, guys?"    "Shut up, Taehyung!"   "There's a snake at your foot."   Yoongi jumps with all his might and reaches for Jimin. It seems, to Taehyung, that it is Jimin's natural instinct to scoop Yoongi up and shield him from potential danger. Yoongi is squirming like a worm in Jimin's arms, whimpering.    Taehyung wants to tell them to calm down, but judging to their expressions one of them might faint soon enough. So Taehyung reaches for the snarling snake, grabs it by its head, and snaps it in half. The snake goes limp the next second.    For a moment, everything stands still. Taehyung lifts the dead snake to show the other 2, "You can stop screaming now."   Yoongi comes down, speechless.    Jimin needs his time to find what to say. But in the end he can think of nothing.    "I'll make fire and make this our supper." Taehyung tosses the snake to the ground.    -   Taehyung is blowing the fire he's made out of twigs and dead leaves he's found nearby. The snake is being swirled above the fire and is almost ready to be served. Yoongi is still speechless whereas Jimin occasionally holding his breath when Taehyung turns to him.    "You guys okay?"   Yoongi nods quickly. Jimin hitches his breath.    "So let me get this straight," Jimin starts. "You managed to kill a venomous snake, skin and gut it, drink its blood, and make a fire to cook its meat. All with bare hands."   "Why? Is it, like, hard?"   Jimin's jaw drops. "Hard? You're asking if this is hard??"   "Well, if you grow up in a place with scarce food and water like i have, you'll learn to make do."   Jimin turns to Yoongi, then, and nudges, "You ain't . This boy right here might be the most hardcore thing I've ever seen." He whispers the last part. "And he's never been a dragon."   Yoongi slaps Jimin's hand away.    -   After calming their growling stomach with the snake meat, the three of them prepare a mat made out of leaves for sleeping. Yoongi insists staying in the middle, so Jimin lets him because he doesn't feel like arguing.    As they're lying there together, gazing at the stars and the moon, Taehyung's wondering thought comes back and he needs to ask.    "Who are you two?"   They might have saved the village, but all Taehyung knows they might also be serial killers or kidnappers, or something even worse. And to think he has just come along with them like this, it starts to dawn on him that he was acting a bit too easy.    "Think of me as his travel guide," Jimin points to Yoongi. "I just need to get him somewhere and then we'll go our own way."   "Where is it that you're going?"   Jimin sees the blinking stars and remembers the words his master used to tell him. “Look at the brightest blinking star, Jimin, and know that I am with you every step of the way.”   "I don't know yet," he says quietly.   Taehyung wants to ask more but Yoongi's snore indicates the end of questioning session. At least for now. Jimin turns to the other side and places one arm below his head, the other at his side.    "Goodnight, Taehyung."   Taehyung watches both Jimin and Yoongi doze off, their breathings match.    "Goodnight, Jimin."   This is the first time in years Jimin has said goodnight to someone and received one in return. Inside his chest, a warm fuzzy feeling is floating around.    Vmin or nah? XD   -   Jimin doesn't know what time it is, but when the air gets a little chilly he wakes up and Yoongi isn't there.    He looks around and see a shadowed figure under a tree. When he gets there, Yoongi looks up at him but doesn't say anything.    "Trouble sleeping?"   "Couldn't bear the weather," Yoongi murmurs a reply as he wraps his arms around his body. Jimin looks over at where they sleep and notices that Taehyung has taken all the blanket to himself.    Jimin sits down besides Yoongi. With the help of the trees, the air doesn't feel so cold anymore. Maybe they should've slept near one in the first place, Jimin thinks.    "Wow, the sky," Jimin says with pure appreciation. His eyes try to capture the blinking night and embed it into his long term memory. It's not often he gets to enjoy nature. "You ever wonder why people don't love the sky as much as they love money or power? The sky is free."   "People tend to forget to appreciate the things that are already there. Instead they fight for what is difficult because that's what makes them feel good about themselves. I believe the term is ego. Humans are stupid, but that's
