Yoonbi

I twist my fingers around the hem of my uniform skirt and bite my lips, looking away. I don't want them to know. I really don't want them to.

A thought pops in my mind and my tight face loosens up by the diminish of my primary panic. I could just use the same old lie I've been living with my whole life.

"Brilliance." I smile falsely. No one can tell really, I'm so used to it. And here it goes, the comments, the amusement, the praise. They make me happy when they're about my real powers. But not this one. I hate it.

"Oh my god! You're so lucky!" RyungNa tells me.

"I wish I had this, it's much better than studying." BamBam goes next.

"Can't believe this, like you sleep while we work our ašses off-" don't go there Jr. My heart won't take it anymore.

In attempt of changing the subject I look at Jackson who didn't comment yet but had amusement on his face, "what're your other powers?" I ask.

He nods at my question, doesn't say anything and just jumps in the air landing on the other side of the class before he jumps back to us again. He can fly! I shake my head in amusement while my hands clap for him.

"I'm speechless," I tell him. A faint smile pulls on his lips as he nods to me in gratitude. The rest were smiling too, his awesome powers made me feel a little lighter and I can't wait to figure out his last one. "What's the third one?"

"Oh, he can't show it to you here." Jr smiles at me, knowingly. What? Why?

"Let's go outside! We still have seven minutes for our lunch break to end." RyungNa ushers. Just like that, two minutes of a chat on a walk and a tour later we were in the school's field. Most of the students were in the cafeteria that I didn't get to see yet but there were some hanging around.

"Don't worry, no one can see his power or notice it. Except us, and sometimes even we don't." BamBam pats my shoulder. Jackson is here after his fourth transfer and to be honest, I don't want him to get into trouble like I did. It doesn't feel good having no chances.

"Start!" Jr. tells him. I watch attentively. A breeze moves my hair onto my face and I quickly push it away. Another blast of wind comes from behind me messing up my hair. I curse under my breath and pull my hair away putting it up in a messy bun with my hand band.

"Come on! Show me." I coax him. I look around the rest and they're all smirking at me. Frowning, I look around, confounded. Another strong wind blast makes me take a few steps back, the wind keeps on coming from different directions in low frequencies. This is impossible, what is exactly happening with the weather today-

I bite down on my tongue in surprise. Oh my god, wind control. His third power is wind control!

"Oh my god! It's wind control!" I laugh.

"Took you enough to figure out." Jackson says. We all start laughing at my silliness.

"Now it's my turn!" Jr chirps. I nod urging him to start showing his powers.

"Wait, don't we need to go back into class so no one would see us?" I question them.

"Nah, we got no time." RyungNa notifies me and waves for Jr to start. He frowns and talks back.

"How am I supposed to show her when there are people watching us! They're so thrilled why the new girl of all people is talking to us."

"Right, we've always been a group that doesn't welcome humans. They don't really know that." BamBam follows.

"We only have less than five minutes, hurry up people." Jackson announces.

I notice the eye contact that RyungNa and Jr share and immediately trigger my psychic self on from curiosity. I shouldn't have done that but I felt way too intrigued.

Just show it to only her boy! Do anything!

Yah, RyungNa! What am I supposed to do, I don't even know!

Figure it out!

I see Jr giving a soft whisper sigh before his sagged shoulders rise up in newfound determination. He steps close and closer to me till only few inches separate us.

My heartbeats fasten in nervousness as he leans down closer to my face, "don't worry, I'll only show you." His mouth moves to my neck and I hear an odd sound of stretching flesh. "Look at me and don't move. Don't let the people around notice."

I move my eyes to his face which was inches away from my neck to see that teeth turned to really sharp fangs. Literally he had fangs. I gasped and just as I was to step away in shock he holds both my arms securing me in place.

"I told you don't move," I feel a sharp structure weakly poking my arm and when I look down at his nails I see that they've grew long and sharp. Like choppers.

He got the mutation in his nails and teeth. Oh my god it looks so hot. I breathe hard till he let's go and steps away, going back to the cute Jr.

Still dumbfounded I just give him a couple of once overs, I can't tell at all! Oh my god this is marvelous. His third power, what could it be. I step closer to the rest feeling the weird stares of the people around.

"The third one is the best Yoonbi! To be honest I love it the most out of his powers." RyungNa chirps as she holds Jr.'s arm. He laughs and holds her shoulder under his arm.

BamBam comes from behind them and separates them before holding RyungNa instead. "It's not that cool, my powers are the best too, right?" He asks her. She nods, smiling widely.

"When can I see the third power?" I question Jr.

"When, when- I don't know." He scratches his neck.

"Now! Let's go to the pool before the rest of the students go there, we have PE, remember?" RyungNa smacks Jr's head.

"Oh, totally forgot we have PE!" BamBam confesses. It wasn't really a good thing to do because RyungNa held both their ears and started scolding them about not memorizing their schedule yet. I take that chance to look at Jackson, he was looking right back at me. I smile innocently and feel flattered when he smiles back.

A while later RyungNa and I are in the changing room putting on our PE clothes in a rush to get to the pool before the rest. Although the PE uniform made me scowl, I still pulled the revealing shorts and tight shirt on.

Damń what do they want from this exactly?

"Let's run run run!" RyungNa shouts as we run to the indoor pool that the guys are in already. Why a pool to show me his power? I wish I knew. "We're here!" RyungNa pushes the door open with my hand in hers, "and no one is here yet! Yay!" She celebrates.

Jackson comes towards us and pulls the celebrating girl and me to the other two boys. BamBam comes standing beside me. "Are you ready?" He asks.

"I guess so." I say watching Jr closely. He walks to me and asks an irrelevant question, at least that's what I thought it is.

"Do you mind getting wet?"

I just stare at him blankly before I feel RyungNa behind me, she wraps her arms around me and pushes us into the pool. I scream before my voice is engulfed by the water.

All what I say next is incoherent as bubbles escape my mouth, I gradually stop to keep some of my oxygen inside. RyungNa doesn't let me get out of the water and another splash comes from above.

Jr. jumps in and reaches us, he stays in front of us and stops moving before making direct eye contact. RyungNa gestures me to watch. I just do, it's not like there's something else I could do other than suffocate.

My eyes widen when I see gills growing around his face, my mouth goes agape in a failed gasp and I instantly lose all the air in my lungs.

Adapting. He can adapt!

I move so I could get out of the water but RyungNa holds me down taking my escaping attempts as movements of excitement. Jr doesn't get it either, he's just smiling.

Before I could literally lose every means of living my lungs provide, someone else jumps in and forcibly pulls me out of my friend's grip; the one thing I needed to do and couldn't do.

I breathe hard with my eyes closed as someone holds me in their arms, "you can breathe now. You can breathe now Yoonbi." His calm voice tells me. I cough all the water and hear people running to me then someone holds my hand.

"I'm so sorry Yoonbi!" RyungNa tells me, "I forgot that not all people have long breathes." Her voice is stained with guilt.

I open one eyes and look at her, "it's okay." I mouth holding her hands back then I open my other eye and see who rescued me. I look up at a pale calm face, the only one who actually had the ability to know that down there I was in danger.

Suga.

I nod to him, thankfully.

I look at BamBam, Jr, and Jackson to see them eyeing me worriedly in guilt matching RyungNa's. And then I notice something.

That special bond, I became part of it.

Suga is right here too, rescuing me. Bangtan are watching me in shock, Jimin is sitting beside Suga looking at my limb body in despair.

They are too. They are my friends. I got friends all over again.
How will this turn out?
