Chapter 21
Jungkook is sitting on the chair and looking at the table before him. They decided to meet up over at Jin's house, but for some reason, he didn't mind that much this time.
He's tired and his eyes are heavy from the lack of sleep. It has been a few days since Taehyung and he had a fight. If it can even be called a fight. Yoongi was the one who called them all in to meet up because he got a theory that apparently was pretty urgent, so arguments were second priority.
"So... someone is holding this information from us by affecting Hoseok? How come we can't feel anything?" Namjoon asks, his hand gently gliding over one of the drawing Hoseok has made.
Said male is in the kitchen, making something for them all to eat since Jin still won't come down. He allowed them to use his kitchen though if they would just leave him alone.
They have been lingering around Yoongi's theory for a while and most likely... he's right.
"Well, we mostly feel evil sources of strength. If this is coming from a good one, an angel maybe even, it would make sense that the sensation is weakened," Yoongi says.
The others nod and Taehyung runs a hand through his hair, "maybe we can ask Jimin? He must know something."
"True, but as he said God doesn't tell him everything. That high asshole relies on faith too damn much," Yoongi huffs.
"You know they can hear you, right?"
"Yes, and I also know they are aware about how I feel about them."
Taehyung rolls his eyes and Namjoon pinches his nose. Classic Yoongi. But he's right, God does rely on faith a lot and they only step in if it's a threat to the planet. Most likely why he decided to send Jimin to them.
"Jimin said we were missing a huge step, so why are we so fucking stupid?"
"Man, I got 4 out of 100 on an hour test, you're fine," Jungkook deadpans and Taehyung can't help but snort at that.
Well, that lightened the mood a little at least. Jungkook can be funny with his pessimistic nature, but compared to most other times, a small smile actually lingers on his lips. Are they breaking him out of his shell?
"Well, that was a nice reminder that you are an idiot," Yoongi says and earns a kick over the shins under the table.
They glare at each other while the others are either laughing or shaking their heads at them. Taehyung is just fondly look at Jungkook and he ever so gently let's a hand find it's way to Jungkook's thigh.
The younger looks down at it skeptically. However, to Taehyung surprise, he isn't pushed away and all his fingers are still intact after staying on Jungkook's leg for a good thirty seconds. It's clear to see that the younger is considering heavily to slap away Taehyung's hand, but maybe he isn't completely blind to the feeling it sends through him anymore.
"But I think Yoongi is right. It's the best theory we can come up with, so now we just got to get something out of Hoseok's head," Namjoon states.
Just as he says that, Hoseok walks over to the table with some plates and food for them all to enjoy. None of them is in the mood to skip food, so they dig in without much though.
Hoseok keeps forgetting seconds later that they are talking about him, so talking so freely about this subject isn't corcerning for him at all. However, Hoseok has small moments where here's aware he's gonna forget what's going on.
And honestly... it kinda hurts.
Imagine knowing you are going to forget something or someone, even if they mean a lot to you. It's frightens him and at this point, he's scared he's going to forget all of these guys too.

Jin lies on his bed and stares out of the window that's way too big for his liking. It gives too much light and reminds him that he can have everything he wants in the world with the money he has. But only... material speaking.
Never once will he wish for a thing as expensive as that window to fill his empty heart. Never once will he bow down and let the world think his life is good. Not anyone, not even the boys currently invading his house can change his mind about that.
Many would probably question why he's letting them stay and Jin has wondered himself many times why he's letting it happen. However, the sense of life and the small noise in the distance makes this house seem just a little less dull and lonely.
It makes him feel... like he's actually home again.
Not that he would ever admit that out loud and he sure as hell won't spend time with these boys. He ain't special, there's no reason for him to have an angel like Namjoon. At this point, it's probably just because Jin has a big house and therefore God gave them a place to stay.
Just another reminder how pathetic Jin is. He has money enough to save a whole community from their misery however he's still lying here, looking out of the window like some ignorant asshole.
But his heart just hurts too much. He doesn't know if he can do anything good for others in the first place. He's simply in too much pain.
Jin lies there right until the sun starts to set and he can hear the guys below him head for the bathroom and such. They are probably about to go to sleep. He let's himself close his eyes and doze off, falling into a light sleep filled with nightmares as always.
___________
Jin woke up a little before 5 am, simply due to the first stripe of sunlight from the early morning sun hitting him straight in the face.
Turn it off!
He guesses not closing the curtains was a bad decision. Well, summer does have it's perks of waking up people a little too damn early.
However, this gives Jin the chance to head down and eat some breakfast before the others wake up. Then he can have some peace and quite in his head and actually enjoy his breakfast without needing to hit Jungkook with a lattle or choke Namjoon because he's burning the kitchen down.
Sounds like a nice chance.
He gets up a stretches his body. He doesn't even have to look in a mirror to know that he has big black bags under his eyes and that his hair is most likely sticking out in all directions possible.
At least he doesn't have to teach over the weekend, so he's free to look like crap.
He yawns as he drags on some clothes and starts heading downstairs. He grimaces when he sees all the guys sleeping on the floor, some of them even snoring. They have made Jin's living room their little place and therefore it smells like sweat and sleepy guys in here. Jin just rolls his eyes and is about to leave to head for the kitchen.
However, he stops in his tracks when he spots some of the papers lying all over the sofa table. They really went all in, huh?
They have maps and long lists with notes and-
Jin stares at the images drawn on some of the papers. Abstract and weird yet... familiar.
Jin feels a rush run through him as he hurries over to the table and grabs the first drawing he can get his fingers on. Compared to the other drawings, this one is too abstract to actually look like Jungkook. His grib tightens around it so much he almost crumbles the paper.
The noise must have woken the others because soon Namjoon's hoarse voice appears, "Jin?"
The said elder male just stares at the paper in disbelief and... panic.
"It can't be..." he whispers.
Yoongi and Jungkook lift their heads as well, gently rubbing their eyes to wake up.
"What can't be?" Namjoon questions. He stretches a little but stops halfway through the motion when he spots what's in Jin's hand.
Immedietly, he gets confused and even more so by the look on Jin's face.
"What-"
"We are going somewhere-" the elder man says and reaches down to grab the other papers. He spots a bag by the side of the table and he mindlessly takes it to press all the papers into.
His rushing movements get the others to sit up in surprise. None of them having ever seen Jin with another emotion than anger. This is more like... confusion and stress?
"Right now?"
"Right fucking now," Jin says and finishes up collecting everything, "I know something."
