Chapter 6
블루 로즈 (B L U E R O S E)
Taemin rolled his eyes as Minho apologized for the 20th time that day.
"Oh my, God! Will you shut up if I forgive you?!" Minho nodded his head. "Well I forgive you. Now shut the up, Christ."
"What exactly are you guys looking for?" A fairy asked as she sat on Minho's head.
"A blue rose," he answered as he stuck out his tongue in disgust after stepping over yet another snake.
"Good luck," she said sadly.
"What?" Taemin stopped and turned around. "What do you mean by that?"
She flew down from Minho's head. "Who needs it the most?"
"My boyfriend, Kim Kibum."
She turned to Minho with wide eyes. "The last man who entered the Witch's house didn't make it."
The two boys looked at each other, eyes wide with shock, then back at the fairy.
Minho swallowed, "H-How did he die?"
"He was eaten alive by the Witch."
"Do I have to... Fight this... Witch?"
"No, you don't. You just have to find the Blue Rose at the end of this maze, and then he'll set you free."
"So how did he get eaten?"
"A python."
"What? That's it—"
"Minho, I don't think she means just any python." Taemin added seriously, looking around.
"He's right, the python I'm talking about is the bigger than the biggest. It's fangs sharper than shark's teeth, it's venom more poisonous than the most poisonous! And worst of all, its eyes will literally bore into your soul, and you'll become so afraid that you can't even move, which gives him the hint that he can take advantage of the situation—and eat you. But for the Witch's pleasure, it only coughs up half of your body, which the Witch boils, fries, grills or whatever. He'll find a way to eat you, it's like the python is his serpent."
"Oh, no," Taemin said as he covered his face. "I hate snakes, he's going to eat me, I just know it!"
"No he's not," Minho yelled, determination in his voice. "He's not going to eat either of us. I won't let him. I'm here to save Kibum and that's what the I'm going to—Taemin!"
"Wha—" Minho sped over in front of Taemin, the latter looking up at him as he towered over. Minho's face contorted in pain, his eyes squeezing shut, biting his lip, and a single tear escaping from his left eye. "Minho..."
Minho slowly opened his eyes, releasing his bottom lip as he began to talk, "S-Someone... Else... Is h-here..."
Taemin's eyes travelled lower on Minho's body and doubled in size as soon as he saw a large cut on his upper arm, blood trickling down.
Minho whimpered as he fell over, Taemin covering his agape mouth as Minho let out a pained scream once he hit the ground, dirt stinging his impossibly large cut.
Crouching down next to Minho, he cradled the older boy's head, the latter still whimpering in indefinite pain. "WHO'S THERE?!"
There was a few ruffling of the leave bushes, and out came a tall man with a bow, his arrows in a bag that he carried on his back.
His lightly highlighted brown hair long, but barely touched his shoulders, and was split on the left, making his hair shadow over his right eye. His shirt was a loose tank top that bunched up at his waist, his denim jeans fitted, ripping at the thighs, and his shoes were simple black Converse.
He tilted his head, "What do you want with the Blue Rose?" His voice was low and menacing, sending shivers down Taemin's spine.
"We just want hyung to be healthy again," Taemin answered, looking down as Minho continued to fidget in pain.
"Same goes for my wife. But I'm pretty sure she needs it more that you kids."
"We can share!"
"'Share'?" The man laughed. "Why would I want to share with you?"
"I'm sure that one petal will still hold the power needed to cure your wife... Please, we need this just as much as you do!"
The man rubbed his chin in deep thought, "Alright. I'll share. And if it doesn't work, I'm going to find you and kill you myself."
Taemin nodded understandingly. "... Um, c-can you please help him...?"
"I guess I could, since this is my doing." The man walked over and knelt down next to Minho, who was still twitching in pain.
"D-Don't t-touch me," he stuttered, crying out when the man ignored him and poked his wound. He then took Minho's free arm and slung it over his shoulder, Taemin helping him stand up.
Minho cringed with every step he took, his arm swinging self-consciously. The pain was unbearable and he wanted to scream even more, but he bit his lip hard, trying not to emit such a sound at this moment.
A few minutes later, they approached a long rock that had a flat surface. They lied Minho down carefully, the latter resorted to panting heavily. A pixie appeared in front of his face, flapping his wings fast as he made little sprinkles of light fall on his face. Minho suddenly felt drowsy, his eyes drooping as the pixie spoke words to him.
"Don't worry, we'll have you fixed up in no time!"
