1. July

July was on her way back home to eat breakfast and saw Elie.

"Hello there, Elie!" July greets her.

Elie is a spirit that lives in the mountains. She can be anything that came from nature. So July made her a sculpture that is made from wood and let her use a bit of her power, so it's easier for them to communicate. Because since she's a spirit, July needs a lot of her energy and magical power to understand her.

"July!" Elie said and hugs her.

"Nice to see you too." July said and chuckles.

"Where are you going?"

"Home... I'm a bit hungry already. I want to eat." She said and continues walking.

"Then let me tell something as we walk." Elie said with a smile.

July nodded and they both started talking as they walk. Then, they heard someone near.

"Hey, Elie... I think I heard someone." She hears him again.

"He's near! And... I think he's hurt!" July quickly ran towards his direction and Elie followed her.

And when they finally saw him, he fell on the ground. July quickly checks on him.

"He's full of injuries and unconscious. Elie, can you carry him for me?"

'He's handsome... but I won't let him steal July away from me! I won't help him if I were her. Humans are bad! But... she asked...' Elie thought.

"Elie?"

She was pouting and decided to carry him. They both ran back to her home and healed all of his injuries.

"Elie, can you please look after him while I'm cooking?" July asked.

"Of course!" Elie quickly answered and July left.

Her expression changed and started investigating him.

"Hmmm, wearing an expensive looking armour, full of injuries and very handsome. You're too dangerous for my July! I will definitely kill you if you did something to her." Elie whispered to him.

Three days had passed and he is still unconscious.

"I'm worried about him." July said.

"You're too kind-hearted, July. Who knows? Maybe by the time he wakes up, he'll make you fall in love with him and abuse you!"

"Oh come on, Elie. He doesn't look like a bad guy to me-"

"I KNEW IT! HE'S USING SOME KIND OF POWER OR SPELL TO MAKE YOU FALL-"

"Why are you so loud?!" The man suddenly yelled.

Elie quickly pulls July away from him.

"Elie-"

The room went quiet and the three of them exchange looks.

"Umm... my name is July. What's your name?" July asked, politely.

"Why do you need to know? And where am I?" He replied in a rude way.

Elie got mad.

"HEY! JULY WAS BEING POLITE AND KIND TO YOU! WHY ARE YOU SO RUDE TO HER?! DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SOME KIND OF A GOD?!"

"Elie! Stop!" July yelled and she stopped yelling.

But she's still glaring at him.

"I'm so sorry! Elie is in a bad mood, that's why she yelled too. I apologize on her behalf."

"And Elie, can please leave us for a few minutes?" July said to Elie, coldly.

Elie was shocked when she talked to her in that way. She replied to her with a nod and slowly leaves the room. She sighed and look back at him.

"Now, it's okay if you don't want to say your name. If you want to know what happened then listen..."

July told him everything and he just kept a straight face.

"... you still need to stay in bed and let me treat you for a few more weeks. If you don't want to, you can go back home and ask a doctor to treat your legs. But let me tell you... that without my powers, there's a 90% chance that you won't be able to walk again."

Those last words made him shock.

"What? What do you mean by your power?"

'Oh no, I forgot...' July thought.

"Um... promise me that you won't tell it to anybody even to your family or someone you trust!"

"Fine, now explain."

"I have magical powers that has no limit. That means that I can do what others can't do. Like your legs, even if the most talented doctor treats them, it won't go back to normal and it's impossible for you to walk again. But with my healing powers, I can make that possible. Or use my power to look into your memories, so I will know your name, but I'm not that kind of person so don't worry." July explained.

"Do you think I will believe that?"

"I'm confident." July replied and started using her illusion spell.

His eyes widens when he saw that his surroundings changed.

"Why are we suddenly in the middle of the Rose Mountain?" He asked.

"We're still in my house. See?" Then she uncast the spell.

She started smiling when she saw him amazed for the first time.

"H-how can you do that?"

"It was a gift to me. But because of this gift, I don't have any normal friends or family. All of my friends were spirits and mythical creatures. They told me to stay away from humans because they'll kill me. But I believe that not all humans will do that. That's why I agreed to save you." July smiled.

He looks away and clears his throat.

"My... my name is Taehyung. Nice to meet you." He said.

July was confused why his cheeks turns pink.

"Um... do you feel sick?" July went closer and see if he has a fever or anything.

"I-I... I'm fine." Taehyung answered.

"Then why... is your cheeks-"

"Because it was cold."

"Really? Why didn't you say so?"

Because of July, the room becomes warmer.

"Thanks." Taehyung said, avoiding her eyes.

"It was nothing. Tell me if you need something. Just call my name and I will be able to hear you."

After saying those words, she finally leaves the room.

"What's happening to me? Since when did you learn how to thank and blush because of someone, Kim Taehyung?" Taehyung asks himself.
