Chapter 18
Days in and days out and nothing has been found yet. No matter where they look, what they do and whatever seemed like a good plan before... it's failing.
They have been sleeping at Jin's place, even if the man hasn't shown himself the entire time. He has just left the guys to go to work once in a while and then dismissed their presence. Talk about being a diva.
Jungkook throws the papers on the table and stands up. "I'm done, I have had enough of this bullshit."
"No, you haven't," Taehyung sighs. Jungkook has been a whiny bitch all this time and he won't stop complaining. It doesn't help anyone that he's in such a mood all the time, but it's clearly not very easy for him to get out of it.
The younger glares at Taehyung. He thought that finally they were heading somewhere, but they have been nothing but annoyed with each other this entire time.
"Yeah and how would you know?"
"Can you stop whining for a fucking second? We aren't getting anywhere like this... we don't want to deal with it either," Yoongi then adds, glaring at younger who's clearly having a problem.
"We aren't going anywhere anyway? We have been working on this for weeks now and for what? To look into a wall for three days? Oh, how productive I feel."
Jungkook knows he's being annoying and pessimistic, but it's not like he hasn't been like that before. He doesn't want this, he has never wanted this. Fucking shitty planet! Even hell hates him, what the fuck.
Taehyung is just about to open his mouth when they are suddenly blinded by a strong light and Jimin stands before them. Fucking teleporting shit! Jungkook thinks.
"Hey guys," the angel says, not noticing the bad tension that's in the room. Not that he would care anyway if he did.
"What are you doing here?" Namjoon asks.
"Nothing really, just spend some time with God who told me to check up on you," he says and slumps down by the table, grabbing one of the papers they have been writing on. "Still nothing?"
"Obviously not," Jungkook rolls his eyes.
"We have tried to connect the dots, but not a single link or anything tells us what to do... we don't know where to look, there's nothing these pictures can tell and Hoseok's head isn't of much help either..." Namjoon informs.
"What's your name again?" the said amnesia-hit boy asks.
"Jimin."
"Ah, right!"
Jimin can't help but giggle a little before turning towards the boys again. "Well, you got to figure something out soon. Diabolos is moving."
Namjoon, Taehyung and Yoongi throw each other a glance and Jungkook just seems to be even more angered.
"What do you mean by that?" the eldest in the room asks. Jimin runs a hand through his hair, taking one of the papers and a pencil.
"We have been tracking his energy sources the entire time. It's often hard to tell exactly where he is, but it's often easy to sense the strongest energy around certain areas," Jimin draws a small sketch that is supposed to be South Korea.
"He settled underneath this country years ago, but now he's moving south which we did expect," Jimin says and draws a line more south towards where they are.
"Why?"
"Because of them obviously," Jimin points at Jungkook and Hoseok, "how old are you guys?"
Both replied with 18 and Jimin simply nodded at that. As expected, it's around that time Diabolos decided to switch location and move his energy around.
"But... why didn't he just get Jungkook earlier? If that's apparently who he's after?" Hoseok asks.
It's a valid question, considering Jungkook has been walking around without protection for years and nothing has happened.
Jimin nods, knowing that this might be a confusing part but that's just how it is.
"Diabolos can't surface on earth himself. His body is only strong and powerful when behind the gates of hell, that's one of the curses God left over him once he betrayed heaven. In order to catch Jungkook, he needs to come alive through someone else," Jimin states.
The others nod and the two humans look a little freaked out. This is not something they teach you in school. They aren't even certain any humans know this.
"But... why would it take so long for him to use someone's body?" Jungkook asks. He knows he's in some deep ass shit at this point, but he got Taehyung to protect him.
For now, at least.
"In order for him to take over a body, there need to be made a pact. Only the worst people get 'chosen' to make this pact with Diabolos, so he has probably waited for a long time to finally find one stupid person who was weak enough to break because of his promises. He tells you he'll give you the world and much more, but in the end he's just a tyrant and a liar. Not to mention, the earth has to be in a certain position with the moon at a certain time for him to do it, otherwise it won't work. He has about 3 months every century to find someone and make them seal the pact with him or some other bullshit like that," Jimin says.
"Unfortunately for us, it seems like that time period is right now."
When ever Diabolos' location of energy source (which only golden angels and God can sense), they know something is up. Either a new strategy or maybe... a person who's easy to break.
"So... he found someone?" Taehyung mumbles.
"We believe so, but we can't be certain. You just need to stay alert at all times... Diabolos is a terrible monster, but he's not stupid. He knows how to play his cards well, so don't let him win," Jimin says.
Fucking hell, this just made the situation 10 times worse than it already is! Jungkook runs a hand through his brown locks and looks over at Taehyung who's staring right back at him.
Even though they have been non-stop fighting these last couple of days, they clearly still search towards each other for protection and safety. Says something about the strength of their bond. Jungkook might not feel it as strongly as Taehyung does, but it's still there.
"Well, I guess this gives us less time... what the hell should we do Jimin? We have been walking around in circles for weeks now and nothing is getting us anywhere..." Yoongi sighs. It's all making them so tired, it's draining to another level.
"It's hard to say, but you have to-" he gets interrupted ever so rudely.
"Don't say it," Jungkook grumbles. Jimin frowns a little and crosses his arms. This kid.
"Don't say what?"
"You know what midget...'look from another angel' or 'try seeing it from the other person's shoes' or some other crap," Jungkook sighs and stands up. Jimin just raises and eyebrow as he watches the younger head towards the door, probably on his way to go home. He doesn't wanna be here anymore.
Jimin is quick though and flies into the air, landing before Jungkook who glares at him.
"Actually, that's not a bad idea. Look from another angle, I feel like there's a clear step you all are too stupid to realize and keep walking over-"
"Well, then you're clearly a part of our stupid gang if you don't know either," Taehyung deadpans and Jimin just throws him the fuckfinger.
Angels live through feelings. It's kind of having that feeling in your stomach that something is wrong, only that angels feel it with basically everything. That's also one of the things that makes them so different from their human selves. They just... know better now.
They probably wouldn't have made the mistakes they did as humans if they had these feelings. These sensations.
So when Jimin's says he can sense they are missing something, he isn't lying.
"You're all too thick-headed to accept the fact that you are stupid," Jimin rolls his eyes, "anyway I'm going to leave. I will check up on you in a few days and... I'm not joking about Diabolos moving. So keep a look out."
Jungkook squint his eyes as Jimin disappears in a flash. Asshole, leaving after dropping a bomb like that? Not cool at all.
He shakes his head and walks towards the door again, grabbing his shoes and angrily pulling them on his slender feet.
"You're not going anywhere," Taehyung's deep voice sounds and when Jungkook looks up, the male is standing over him.
"Yes, I am," he huffs and looks back at his shoes to tie them up quickly. Taehyung looks back at the other guys who just sigh and he shrugs his shoulders gently.
"Well, I'm coming with you then," Taehyung says.
Jungkook looks back at him with tired eyes before turning around and grabbing his jacket. He guesses he can't walk around safely anymore at this point anyway.
"Suit yourself."
With that, the male opens the door and leaves the house. Taehyung says goodbye to the guys before following, knowing that he can't let Jungkook out of his sight for even a second.
