It's been a day of tensions between everyone in the house. They all went to classes the next day, Jimin and Soobin catching up on work they missed, well mostly Soobin since Jimin completed this week's work last week. Soobin has been pretty irritated with everyone since no one wants to listen to him, nor his ideas. All he wants to do is find answers for himself and his boys. Even if he isn't the oldest, he's been responsible for them for as long as he can remember. They've been friends since childhood, as cliche as that sounds, but he loves them, and he'll do anything to help them at this time.

'Yo Jimin wants you to come to the kitchen.' Yoongi pops into the younger's head as he's busy doing his work.

'Fine, tell him I'm coming. And stay out of my head please.' Soobin sighs aloud. Guess the work will have to wait.

'So mean but polite. I don't know whether to blind you or reward you.' Yoongi chuckles, laying in his bed with an amused smirk on his face. Soobin makes his way to the kitchen, seeing the rest of the boys all watching a movie in the living room. Some actually watching the movie, others multi-tasking and doing their homework.

"Yoongi said you wanted to see me hyung?" Soobin asks, sitting on the counter next to Jimin whom is standing. Soobin doesn't hate Jimin as much as the others. He knows Jimin wants him to find the answers, no matter what as well.

"You need to take the medicine." Jimin hands him a grey mochi.

"Shouldn't it be yellow?" The horned boy frowns, looking at the lifeless mochi.

"Yes, I haven't put the pollen on yet." Jimin chuckles, taking a pinch of pollen from the flowers he brought in earlier.

"Why did you wait?" Soobin asks, holding the mochi in his hand, waiting for the pollen.

"Because I liked seeing your reaction when it changed color yesterday, and I want to see it again." Jimin giggles, sprinkling the pinch of pollen on. Yet again, Soobin's eyes will with wonder as he smiles, watching the magic.

"I'll never get sick of that." He smiles before eating the sweet, moaning at how good it is. "Your dad is an angel, we need to go back and get different desserts soon."

"I can call them and plan a day if you want. My mom wanted to see the boys anyways, you can bring your boys too. We'll all have a day in my village!" Jimin exclaims excitedly, clapping his hands with a bright smile, already planning the events and what they'll do in his head.

"Do your thing and plan it, I'll love whatever you have in store for us." Soobin smiles before ruffling the elder's hair and leaving the kitchen. He eyes the group on the couch, making sure everyone is there, and busy.

'Yoongi where are you?' Soobin questions as he walks to his room.

'In my room, why?' Yoongi responds, getting annoyed he can always hear Soobin's thoughts.

'Just wondering, go back to sleeping or whatever.' Soobin shrugs, closing his door quietly and standing by his bed.

'Whatever' Yoongi replies before disappearing out of his head.

"Alright, I need to write a list." Soobin mumbles to himself, grabbing a piece of paper and pencil. "They'll have food at their castle no doubt, but just in case they don't have human food, just pack some snacks."

Snacks
Money
Pajamas
Clothes duh
Phone charger
One of Jin's books
Mochis and pollen
Toothbrush

"I think that's everything really. They'll have the rest." Soobin says, grabbing his backpack and dumping all his school stuff on his bed, running around and grabbing everything he needs, shoving it into his bag.

"Alright, let's do this." Soobin whispers to himself as he sneaks out of his room, seeing everyone busy with the loud movie playing. He slips into the kitchen, grabbing the baggie of mochis and taking a pollen stock from one of the calla lilies. He wraps them in a cloth and sneaks back to his room unnoticed. Carefully placing the item in a safe zipper along with the sweets, he heads out for his final item.

"This is a death mission." He mutters, very very carefully opening Jin and Jungkook's shared room door, then closing it very slowly. He lightly prances over to Jin's side of the room, looking at his bookshelf. He doesn't really know what book he's looking for exactly. He skims each bind, looking at all the titles until he comes across a very thick book, the title reading 'History of the Bighit Boarding School students.'

"This will do I guess." Soobin grabs the book, placing the other books closer together so there's less of a noticeable gap. He walks back to the door, listening carefully making sure the coast is clear before opening the door and sneaking out, running back to his room in success.

"Haha, look at me being super awesome." Soobin congratulates himself with a smile and a pat of the back. He places the book in a separate pocket, finally zipping up his bag. He walks back to his desk, grabbing a new piece of paper and writing a note to his boys. He then leaves a note for Jimin to find. He hides the first note under Beomgyu's pillow, knowing the kid can't stay still at night. He then walks to Jimin's room, leaving the second note by the boy's window, knowing he loves basking in the sun like a kitten.

Walking back to the living room, he starts his lies.

"Hey, don't call me for supper. I'm taking a nap so don't bother me. I have lots of homework anyways." He explains, earning everyone's attention.

"Are you sure you don't want me to bring you a plate for when you wake up?" Jin asks, knowing the boy is still upset.

"No it's fine, thanks though." Soobin smiles a little, knowing the elder can't help his motherly ways. He feels kind of bad lying to everyone, his heartbeat picking up, but he has to find answers. As everyone is talking and agreeing, he sees Jimin's ears perk up. Shit.

"Alright, that's fine. We'll leave a plate for you in the microwave when you wake up." Jin smiles, being the good hyung he is.

"Thanks, oh and Jimin, I heard that the sun is going to be directly at your window tomorrow morning, so go there while you have the chance, 'kay?" Soobin raises a brow, keeping his voice stable. He wants Jimin to find the note because he trusts his soft hyung.

"Yeah, no problem." Jimin smiles, giving the younger a knowing look. Soobin nods his head once more before walking back to his room and starting his next step.

'Yo Yoongi you awake?'

'Again. it's hyung to you.'

'I'm not going to re-explain myself. Anyways, the guys are too busy watching a movie to pay attention to me so tell them I'm going out for a few hours when it comes supper time please.'

'Yeah whatever, where are you going?'

'Let's just say something like a Library.'

'Alright you geek, have fun.'

'Thanks, and uh, see you soon.' Soobin ends the conversation, getting a small hum in response.

"Okay, this is it." Soobin whispers, grabbing his bag and throwing it over his back, huffing at how heavy the book makes the bag. The last time Soobin was there, Mark and Taeyong told him that whenever he wants to come back, to just call their names and they'll appear. They can hear him from all the way down there, however that works.

"Taeyong, Mark, I need you." Soobin says softly, making sure not to be heard. He waits next to his bed, looking at the spot that he was first pulled in. A minute passes and nothing happens.

"Lying sons of bitches." Soobin mutters.

"Who's a liar?" Someone says behind him. There standing in all their glory are Mark and Taeyong with grins on their faces. Soobin quickly puts a finger to his lips, hearing someone come.

"Hey Soobin, I left my phone in there, can I come and get it?" Taehyung asks, knocking on the door.

"Just a second, I'll grab it." Soobin fakes a groggy voice, dropping his bag on his messy bed and grabs Taehyung's phone from his dresser. Opening the door, he fakes a tired face and hands the device to his hyung.

"Thanks, enjoy your nap." Taehyung smiles, not suspecting a thing.

"Thanks, I will." Soobin smiles lazily, closing the door again and letting out a relieved sigh.

"Did you call us here to cuddle when you have 11 other people in this dorm?" Mark asks, raising a brow.

"No, I need you help." Soobin rolls his eyes, throwing his bag back on his backside.

"Awe man, I was so ready to get my cuddle game on." Taeyong pouts before Mark punches his shoulder and smirks.

"What do you need help with?" Mark asks, eyeing the boy's bag.

"I need you to bring me back." Soobin says with the most serious expression. The boys look at each other before nodding and holding out a hand each for Soobin to take. Soobin takes bother their hands before they start to glow. Before the younger could even gasp, they've already arrived in the demon realm.

"Welcome back." Taeyong smiles, both boys letting go of the younger's hands.

"Your highness's, your presence has been requested in the library by your brothers." A guard walks in, bowing in respect before leaving.

"You highness?" Soobin asks, raising a brow.

"Soobin, we live in a castle and have a giant library. What does that tell you about us?" Taeyong questions the boy as he crosses his arms.

"You're old schooled and like books." Soobin shrugs.

"I swear this kid." Taeyong mutters out before walking off leaving a chuckling Mark.

"It means we're royalty Soobin, we're all princes." Mark slings an arm around the younger's shoulders and follows a muttering Taeyong towards the library.

"Stay here for a second." Mark says, stopping in front of the library door, stepping Soobin off to the side.

"Why?" He asks with a frown.

"Just trust me." Mark laughs before walking in.

"Mark, Taeyong, where have you been?" Soobin listens to everyone speak, Johnny being the first so speak.

"Out, why?" Taeyong asks, hearing Mark walk up next to him.

"I can smell a human, what were you doing?" WinWin asks, walking over to the pair.

"Just stuff with a friend." Mark shrugs, crossing his arms.

"Yah! We have every right to know too." Yuta groans at the two's stubbornness.

"Yeah, and why does it smell familiar?" Haechan asks, spiking the need to see the other male in Soobin. The horned boy missed his friend.

"Because he is familiar." Mark giggles, walking to the door, grabbing Soobin's attention. The demon grabs the boy's hand, bringing him into the library. Everyone gasps, happy to see their new friend.

"Soobin!" Haechan exclaims, running over and hugging the horned boy he hasn't seen in what feels like forever. The younger giggles and hugs him back, happy to see his friend again.

"How are you!?" Haechan asks, WinWin jumping over and giving Soobin a fist bump.

"Good, thanks for asking." Soobin smiles, looking to everyone else who has smiles on their faces.

"So what brings you here?" Taeil asks everyone walking closer to the boy.

"I need all of your help. As you know, I'm not human but I don't know what I am. Recently, my friends like me have had our powers go haywire. My hyung Yeonjun broke a table and sent a vibration shock, knocking my friend Beomgyu out while knocking my other friends off their feet. I've also experienced levitation Yeonjun to bring him over to me. And as I've been told, protective bubbles surround us." Soobin explains the events of the other day. He really needs these guys's help, they're his only hope.

"Sounds like your powers are forcing themselves out, taking a mind of their own. If you and your friends don't get a handle on them soon, they'll start to posses you, completely taking over your body. You won't be Soobin anymore. You'd be an evil being, we don't even know what you're capable of." Johnny crosses his arms, one hand stroking his invisible beard.

"So what do we do?" Jungwoo asks, looking at everyone worriedly.

"I was hoping to read the books you have. Last time, Doyoung brought me a whole wack of books about creatures with horns." Soobin looks to Doyoung who nods, disappearing into thin air.

"We have many books on creatures with horns, can you be any more specific?" WinWin asks, hoping to narrow it down a little.

"Honestly I can't think of anything to narrow the search. Different colors maybe, we all got them at the same time." Soobin shrugs, earning a nod from WinWin who goes to help Doyoung.

"It's okay Soobin, we'll figure things out." Taeyong reassure the younger.

"How long do you think this will take?" Soobin asks, looking to Doyoung who has popped back with a pile of thick books.

"A few days at least." Mark replies, walking over to the table with Soobin and Taeyong trailing behind.

"Alright, everyone start reading, if you find anything important, highlight it." Jaehyun walks over with a handful of colorful highlighters. Everyone takes one, situating themselves on a bench or floating in the air. They start reading, the princes using their speed reading while Soobin happily sits criss cross on a table, book in lap as he reads normally.

"Mermen, Chimera, Pegasus, Griffin, Centaur, Hippocampus, Cyclops, Medusa... these are all Greek mythology creatures. Phoenix, Manticore." Soobin names off all creatures mentioned in each chapter.

"Any chance you're a troll Soobin?" WinWin pipes in, laying on the floor with a book floating above him. Soobin gives him an unimpressed look. WinWin takes that as a no.
At least two hours pass, suggestions thrown his way.

"Maybe he's a unicorn but with two horns."

"Maybe the 9 tailed fox spirit?"

"He doesn't have a tail dummy."

"Maybe a rare species of dragon?"

"Dokkaebi?"

"I'm not a goblin!!"

"Okay we need food." Soobin slams his hands on the table he's now sitting at, standing up.

"I agree, let's go." Haechan lets out a sigh and takes the younger's hand, leading him around the castle.

"So you're a prince." Soobin starts conversation.

"Sure am, just piecing this together now?" Haechan chuckles as they enter a giant kitchen.

"Sort of, I'm slow sometimes." Soobin grabs the back of his neck, rubbing and pulling on it.

"It's fine, I didn't realize that Phineas could be Dr.Doofenshmirtz's kid." Haechan shrugs, picking Soobin up and placing him on the island while he grabs a platter for the food.

"What do you mean?" Soobin frowns, swinging his legs.

"Well Phineas and Ferb's mom was in the car with a young Dr.D, so you know what happened then. It only makes sense. I mean, this mom's head is round, his dad, Ferb and even Candice have circular or rectangular faces. No way Phineas is that woman's kid. Even makes sense if he's Dr.D's kid since he is just as scientific as him." Haechan explains while making a platter of different types of food.

"Oh my god." Soobin's eyes widen as he thinks about it. "You're totally right!" he laughs, not believing this new fact.

"Well duh, I have to be a smart prince, not just hot and charming." Haechan smirks.

"Pa-lease. Don't boost your ego any more than it already is." Soobin rolls his eyes playfully before hopping off the counter and grabbing the platter from Haechan.

"I'll take these back, want to make some popcorn or something? I want to take a movie break!" Soobin smiles brightly. Haechan melts at the younger's suggestion, cooing at his smile.

"Alright, do you know the way back?" The elder asks, not wanting a guard to accidentally find and eat him.

"Yeah I think so, I memorized a few paintings." The horned boy nods his head before leaving the kitchen, making his way back to the library.

'I'm so glad they're helping me, I wouldn't know what to do without them and their history. Even if we've gotten no where so far, it's a start at having so many books. My type has to be here somewhere.' Soobin thinks carefully, looking at the paintings on the walls. He looks tot he left to see the painting of a house he remembered. He then looks to his right, seeing the same painting.

"Oh fuck me." The boy whines out, wanting to throw the platter down.

"Gladly." A voice says behind him. The boy turns around to see Yuta.

"Oh, hey." Soobin sports a small smile, remembering what happened with him the last time he was here.

"Are you lost?" He asks, walking over to the younger.

"Not at all." Soobin mutters, turning to the left and speed walking down the hall.

"Really? Because if my memory doesn't defy me, there's our jail full of murderous demons down this way." Yuta floats next to him, speaking in an upbeat, sarcastic tone. Soobin skids to a stop, turning the other way and walks away in a flash. Yuta simply laughs before floating next to the boy again, keeping his mouth shut. But not for very long.

"Your foot seems to be doing better." He mentions, looking at the boy walking perfectly.

"Yeah, no thanks to you." Soobin smiles sarcastically before looking straight ahead again.

"I'm sorry for the other time, but there's no way you can be walking." Yuta sighs confused.

"I have friends in high places, let's just put it like that." Soobin shrugs, hearing the boys talking, meaning he's close to the library again.

"You walk too slow." Yuta groans, and in an instant Soobin is in Yuta's arms just like their first meeting, the platter floating next to them.

"Put me down Yuta." Soobin groans, holding his arms around the elder, for the sole purpose of not falling.

"How about no." Yuta smirks, flying them into the library, setting the platter down and flying higher inside the enormous library.

"Again? Seriously Yuta?" Taeyong groans, seeing Soobin in Yuta's arms once again. History likes repeating itself.

"You still smell good." Yuta quietly chuckles, pressing his nose lightly against the younger's hair.

"You have a problem." Soobin scoffs, looking over Yuta's shoulder as Soobin is held at the demon's side.

"Can you feel this?" Yuta asks, lightly grazing his finger on the base of one of the yellow horns. Soobin's body relaxes for a second before he swats the boy's hand.

"Yes dumbass, don't touch!" He groans, looking for a safe way down with less body damage.

"You're not fun." Yuta pouts, looking at the shiny little stubs. "What about this?" Yuta asks again, tapping the top of the horn's point. Soobin quickly smacks a hand over his mouth, his other hand grabbing a ball full of Yuta's shirt.

"Well that's interesting." Yuta smirks.

"P-put me do-own." Soobin stutters out, knowing this is going to end badly on his side.

"Yah! Listen to the kid, he wants down." Mark flies up, seeing Soobin in pain... or something.

"But he's fun to play with." Yuta whines, holding Soobin tight against him like he's a doll.

"Well he isn't a toy, he's a human who happens to have roommates that want to kill us. So if you don't want a repeat of last time, give him to me. Yuta rolls his eyes before holding Soobin by his hand, keeping him a float as Mark floats a few feet away.

"Woops." Yuta shrugs before letting Soobin go, allowing the boy to fall.

"Fuck off!' Soobin screams before he stops. His eyes widen in surprise, seeing himself floating five feet above the ground. "None of you are doing this?" He asks, looking at everyone in the room looking just as shocked as he feels.

"Try coming to me." Mark says, flying down to his level, just a few feet away from him.

"I've only ever floated, I-I can't." Soobin quickly gets scared.

"Hey, look at me." Mark says quickly. "If you get scared, you'll lose focus, we need you to focus right now." Mark says with a reassuring smile.

"I'll be right here in case you fall." Taeyong says underneath him, arms raised out with a smile. Soobin lets out a large breath, nodding his head. He feels the familiar rush course through his body.

"Just like you're walking." Taeyong smiles. Soobin looks to Mark, only a few feet away.

"Okay you can do this." He whispers to himself. He thinks about going forwards, leaning closer to Mark, and actually going somewhere.

"Oh my god it's working!" He exclaims. Adrenaline rushes through him, his slow form going towards Mark now speeds up, zooming right over to him, smacking into the elder's open arms. Mark however was prepared for that, wrapping his arms around the younger and doing a back flip in the air to stop their movement.

"Good job, want to try again?" Mark laughs at the younger's bewildered expression. He nods his head, a smile on his face. Mark goes tot he place Soobin was a second ago, waiting for the younger to come to him.

"Don't get too excited this time." Taeyong chuckles, still under Soobin. The younger focuses more this time, keeping his nerves calm as he goes at a slow pace towards Mark, stopping right in front of him.

"That was so good!" Taeil cheers, the others clapping and praising him.

"Can you go any further?" Mark asks, wanting to test all limits. Soobin nods, moving away from Mark and looking around the library. He spots a bookcase around the height he was at with Yuta. He focuses on that spot, willing his body to go towards it. It takes him 40 seconds but he gets there! He stand on the case, looking down at the ground.

A sudden rush of confidence hits him like a truck as he turns around.

"Wait what are you doing? We'll both get hurt if I catch you from that height!" Taeyong yells.

"You won't have too!" Soobin yells back, falling back off the bookshelf. As he gets closer to the ground, Mark is ready to burst over, Doyoung even ready to appear under him. But it's not needed as Soobin locks eyes with Yuta, giving him a smirk before taking off just before hitting the ground. He flies up to the roof and screams in joy.

"Oh my god!!" He laughs, looking at Yuta who has a surprised expression plastered on his face. He flies towards Yuta, stuttering in his flight for a second, dropping a foot or two in height before reaching him.

"Fuck you." Soobin laughs before doing a spinning kick, making Yuta fly into a wall.

"Yeah kick his ass Binnie!" Taeyong laughs, everyone knowing Yuta kind of deserved that.

"Okay! We have the platter and now popcorn and chi- Soobin!?" Haechan just now enters the library again, 3 bags of popcorn in one hand and chips in the other.

"Oh shit." Soobin gasps, getting scared by his name being screamed feeling everything disappear, falling from his spot in the air.

"Got him!" Doyoung yells, popping under the younger, grabbing him and popping back to the ground.

"Okay, no more flight tests right now." Mark says, walking over and holding Soobin in his arms.

"Good idea." Soobin chokes out a chuckle. "Up for a movie?" He asks everyone who cheers in agreement.
