Taehyung yawns as he follows behind Jungkook to their next class. They just finished a whole lesson with math and Taehyung swears he almost died. The only thing that has been kind of entertaining is seeing the surprised gazes and whispers whenever he steps inside the room.
He won't say he loves it, but he does feel a certain proudness from it.
More so, showing himself off so people won't come near Jungkook is his first priority. Jungkook however, doesn't seem to mind him much, he's just staying focused on his school work and something else boring.
"When is your break?"
"In two lessons," Jungkook says as they keep walking down the hall. He has some books against his chest and his bag slung over one of his shoulders.
"Two!? I'm gonna die-"
"Stop whining and you're the one who always say you're already dead," Jungkook rolls his eyes as they turn a corner.
Taehyung is super human-like in all ways aside from his wings and eyes, but at the moment the wings are hidden, he has just been walking around whining all day long. A little too human at this point in Jungkook's opinion.
"Still fucking sucks, I'm so glad I don't have to worry about stuff like this anymore," Taehyung says. He looks at the back of Jungkook's body as the younger walks a little ahead of him.
Jungkook simply dismisses him and Taehyung takes this as an opportunity to stare at Jungkook's ass like some pervert. But who can blame him? It's perfect after all and together with that thin waist, it's the ideal body. Well, maybe that's just because Taehyung is lowkey in love with him, but no one needs to know that.
Aside from Jungkook, but he has probably figured that put already.
Taehyung takes his chance and wraps his arm around the younger's waist. He knows that's basically suicide, but maybe Jungkook won't notice. Taehyung has been quite touchy these days and it seems like Jungkook is getting somewhat used to it.
"When will we go to Namjoon's place?"
See, no reaction.
"I think we'll just go right after you're done, it's pretty important information we are holding back on," Taehyung states and tightens his grip a little. God, he loves feeling Jungkook's curvy waist and warmth. It's like euphoria for him.
The younger nods and just looks straight ahead as they keep walking. Most people are only sparing them a small glance before continuing with whatever they were doing, filling up their lockers or talking with their friends. Taehyung seems to fall into a small daze himself when his eyes meet a certain set of familiar ones.
Minseok and Sehun are walking down the hall and just like Jungkook and Taehyung, they immediately glares at them. They are probably still sour after losing that fight and Jungkook can't help but feel his stomach flip with satisfaction, knowing that they won it easily.
Taehyung is about to glare as well and maybe even send a smirk in their direction. However, when his eyes meet Minseok's, he gets uneasy. He doesn't know why, but his body shivers slightly from the feeling. It's like the white-winged angel's body is sending off different signals than it used to. Has he gotten stronger?
They walk past each other and Taehyung quickly looks behind him. As he expected, Minseok is looking back too and this time, he's the one to smirk. Taehyung frowns. That was weird.
"What's wrong?" Jungkook asks. He can feel the hold on his waist is getting tighter and tighter, so he's getting a little concerned.
Taehyung shakes his head slightly and pays attention to the other, "oh it's nothing, just got a weird feeling for a second."
"Nothing too weird, right?" Jungkook deadpans and Taehyung can't help but chuckle. A perverted mind has taken over the image Jungkook has of Taehyung. Now he can't think that the elder says anything that doesn't have a dirty thought behind it. It's kinda funny actually.
"Nope, nothing too weird."
Well, that was a lie. He knows Jungkook will freak out if he tells him about it. It probably wasn't anything important, sometimes you just feel weird things.
The two continue to their next lesson without much more talking.

"Drawings... but why?" Namjoon asks, looking over the said drawings of Jungkook in this demon like façade. Just like the others, Namjoon is confused and shocked.
Not to mention the whole thing about Hoseok is freaking them all out.
"We don't know, we hoped you would know," Taehyung sighs slightly, "or Jin maybe."
They all look over towards the kitchen where the elder is currently pouring up a drink. He hasn't payed attention to the boys since they stepped instead, keeping a fair six meters away from them at all times. Social distancing is a concept that was only used back in the day because of some random pandemic, but Jin has taken it to a whole other level.
Jungkook thinks this man might be even more pessimistic than he is and that says a lot.
"I don't know shit, just leave me alone," he spits before bringing the glass without him and head for the back. There are some stairs there that leads to his private part of the house that not even Namjoon has seen yet.
"Why is he so fucking mad all the time?" Yoongi asks with a roll of his eyes. He hates Jin's diva side and it's basically the only side he has seen at this point. So annoying.
"I have no idea... let's just focus on this, okay?" Namjoon breaks in and places the drawings on the table. He won't admit that Jin has kinda become a sensitive topic for him. The elder man hates him, but as of right now it seems like he hates everyone. How nice to deal with on a daily basis.
Namjoon shakes his head and pinches his chin gently as his eyes run over the drawings, trying to see some sort of connection.
He then looks at Hoseok who's looking just as confused as the others. He snaps his fingers in front of the boy's face, making him flinch.
"You don't remember anything at all?"
"No..." Hoseok shrugs, "and why do you keep thinking it's me?"
"I literally saw you make them," Yoongi deadpans and Hoseok gulps. Fuck, he even forgot Yoongi told him that prior too. There's really something wrong in his head.
He hadn't really thought about it before, but now when he does, he does realize a lot of things that has happened in his life for unknown reasons. He must have done something and forgotten about it right away. So weird.
"I have heard about forced memory loss before, but it's not an easy spell to make. We are really in trouble it seems," Namjoon says.
Jungkook gulps and Taehyung feels his eyebrows twitch. He didn't expect getting back to earth would cause so much trouble.
He slams his hands against the table, shocking everyone sitting around it.
"I will fucking skin that asshole, I swear-"
"No."
"He will fucking burn to death-"
"Calm down dickhead, we need to think this through. Looking for him will only cause more trouble, we need to stay hidden," Yoongi slaps the back of the younger's head.
He grumbles but shuts up, knowing his hyung is right. Searching for war is never the answer, it will only cause more trouble for them until they have some more clues.
Jungkook gently starts massaging his temples. He's getting a headache from this shit. His life has been turned upside down faster than fucking lightening and he doesn't like it one bit. He has been in a bad mood ever since they left school because of those stupid lessons and mean teacher. This is not helping him one bit.
He would probably never admit it, but having Taehyung there was really the only thing keeping him sane back then. How would you feel if your neighbor was drawing haunting pictures of you and a golden-winged angel told that the devil was looking for you?
Not to good right?
It fucking sucks.
"Okay, I don't fucking care what we do, just get me out of this mess," Jungkook says annoyed.
"It's clearly not that easy," Yoongi sighs. Jungkook feels his eyebrows twitch in annoyance. Yoongi is pissing him off, always has been.
"Well, you're the strongest goddamn angel there is, so something!
"We are freaking trying, okay? It's not our fault you are a fucking problem in hell," Yoongi hisses back. It's like they are just walking around in a meaningless circle here. It might came out a little more harsh then he wanted it to, but he still stands by his words.
Jungkook gets up abruptly and smacks both hands on the table, leaning over towards yoongi with an angry expression. The elder isn't intimidated one bit though.
"I'm so goddamn tired of you stupid angels running around, trying to find out what is wrong with us. How about we get to know what the fuck is up with you? You all got specially chosen for this as well, it can't only be us who are the cause of this shit," he says, "Hoseok and I have told you guys literally everything, at least of what we remember, but we still don't know a single thing about you."
Taehyung now looks up at the younger with a warning glare. He explained just nights before that this was a private matter, so why is Jungkook freaking out suddenly? It came out of nowhere.
"Our past doesn't have anything to do with it," Taehyung says lowly. It's true, from what he knows it's only because of their strength they have been chosen. Jungkook hastily turns towards him and glares the same way he did to Yoongi. He points a finger at the elder.
"I'm tired of being left in the shadows. I'm tired of not knowing shit when it's - without a doubt - me who's going to suffer from the consequences of this bullshit," he spits, "how the fuck is that fair to me?"
"Our pasts have nothing to do with it!" now it's Taehyung's time to yell. He doesn't want to yell at Jungkook, but the younger is literally going against his own words from that night. Just because he's having a bad day doesn't mean he can mess with their business.
"I don't care! Math isn't fucking important for becoming a philosohpy teacher either, but they still have it in school because it's basic fucking knowledge everyone should know!"
Before Taehyung can freak out and say something he will regret, Yoongi is in front of him and Namjoon is holding Jungkook back.
This fight is meaningless and all of them know. But as it is right now, things are getting so frustrating that it's tearing on all of them. However, it seems like the youngest ones are struggling the most with keeping their emotions in check. Aside from Jin, maybe.
Jungkook isn't sure why he's acting like this, but he knows for a fact that something is wrong with him. All of this confusion and hidden stuff is making him weird.
"This is not fucking important right now! You two fighting will only cause more trouble... grow the fuck up," Yoongi says before seeing Namjoon gently pushing Jungkook back in his chair, seeing the younger scowl.
This is all getting them into a bad mood.
Hoseok just sits there, scared shitless and Yoongi is still holding a hand on Taehyung's shoulder as if he's going to explode any second now.
Jungkook looks at him and they glare evilly at each other. What the hell is it that Taehyung is so afraid of? If he really cares for Jungkook, how bad can it be to tell about himself?
Jungkook knows he's going against he own words. He wants to be respectful and accept that Taehyung needs his privacy, but how can he that when their pasts might be a lead too? It isn't fair to him at all, they can't be selfish about this.
"Lets just calm down, alright?" Namjoon says and Taehyung sits down too.
"We... we have to figure this out together or it will never work. We don't have time for fight like these, okay?"
The others nod hesitantly and watches Namjoon run a hand through his hair. They have to start pulling the lines between the clues instead of wasting time like this.
Namjoon pulls out more pictures and some papers to write. Guess they just have to give it a shot.
