___________
"Found what, exactly? You're speaking in riddles, it's pissing me off," Jungkook huffs. He earns a strong glare, but Jin decides that fighting the younger won't be worth it at all right now.
He takes the book he has the best feeling of and places it before him. He then grabs the bag that was resting on the floor and takes out the drawings. A certain one really caught his attention. The shape of the creature there is the same as most of the other images of Jungkook, but his face isn't clear and weird lines are messing it up completely.
Jin knows he has seen it before, specifically in this book. He read it out of pure boredom and didn't think it would ever be of use. Boy, he was wrong.
He quickly slams the book open and skims through the pages, not minding the guys who have started to surround him. His eyes look over the pictures again and again and again.
Jungkook hesitantly looks over the pictures that Jin dismisses and he keeps running through the pages. They are weird... God like figures, devil like figures and what not. For every twist of Jin's hand and every page that gets turned over, Jungkook feels a stronger difficulty breathing.
Suddenly, after at least a minute of rushing through the book, Jin's hand stops abruptly. Everyone holds their breath as they look at the picture on this particular page. Jungkook's eyes widen as an almost identical picture of the one Hoseok has drown is shown on the page, the lines and the abstract vibe to it is totally the same.
Frightingly the same.
"What the fuck-" Namjoon utters and they lean closer to have better look.
Jungkook feels his heart tug and his throat suddenly becoming very dry. His eyes burn into the word he for years didn't even consider a reality, but for some reason his mind won't push this away as it usually would.
Immortality.
"He's... immortal?" Taehyung deep voice comes out as a whisper, breaking the silence that has been heavy ever since Jin stopped on that page.
It can't be. It really can't be. Jin was right, it doesn't make any sense.
"How the fuck-" Yoongi grabs the book and takes it closer to his face, "what, for centuries, has been deemed a myth has become a reality for the people created in God's image. The power of immortality will be a power unknown for the living, but known for the dead. One may obtain it, but never know it's true powers."
Yoongi feels his eyes stop at the bottom of the page. Such a short description of something so important. He feels his hands get heavy and the book gently lands against the table again. This gotta be some bullshit or he isn't right in the head.
Everyone turns towards the small brunette who seems to be in another world. His mouth is open and his eyes are totally lost from emotions. He might actually faint because of this.
"How... what do they mean by immortal?" Namjoon asks stupidly and Jin quickly grabs the book again. He spots a small note by the bottom of the picture that he remembers reading back in the day.
"A power so strong yet never used for it's purpose. Not even a sting to the heart will be able to kill the host of such a power."
He lies the book down and runs a hand through his hair, "you can literally rip Jungkook's heart out and he won't die. Like a fucking zombie he will just stay alive."
The guys look around each other in horror. Hoseok is just about to open his mouth and say something when a pair of wings suddenly pushes him back and Yoongi is flying through the air.
Before anyone can realize what the hell is going on, he lands straight behind a startled Jungkook and reaches his hands out. One placed against the back of the younger's neck and the other below his chin.
Snap.
Yoongi breaks Jungkook's neck with one movement.
His body tips and falls out of Yoongi's grip, landing against the floor with a loud thud. Hoseok screams, Jin holds a hand over his mouth and Taehyung sees red. It all happened so fast none of them got the chance to react.
The younger angel storms towards Yoongi and presses him against the wall, holding his neck. A hold that strong would be able to suffocate Yoongi to death in less than a minute.
"You fucking-"
"Look!" the elder gasps out, choking a bit against Taehyung's hand. It was certain Yoongi were to be killed right in front of everyone like he did with Jungkook, if it hadn't been for the sudden gasp leaving the young boy's lips.
Jungkook head has somehow healed again and he sits up in shock. He gasps for air as he holds a hand over his neck that was twisted only seconds ago. Taehyung doesn't even hesitate and drops Yoongi before diving down for the floor and holding around Jungkook.
"It's okay! You're okay," he immediately assures the other, who's hands are desperately reaching out and grabbing onto Taehyung's shirt. Panic is clear in his eyes right until Taehyung pulls him closer and into a hug. He just died after all, it's no wonder he's reacting like this. Everyone are shocked, obviously they have never seen anything like it.
Jungkook takes some deep breaths and closes his eyes, trying to regain control of his body. He presses himself against Taehyung's strong chest, his hand tugging the elder's shirt tightly.
He didn't not expect that at all.
His body still shivers and he feels how Taehyung's hold around him is getting tighter and tighter. The angel glares at Yoongi.
"What the hell were you thinking!?" he says with a stern, deep voice that makes everyone in the room shiver. Yoongi is gently massaging his neck, trying to get the feeling of Taehyung's strong hand away.
"We had to do it quick, otherwise he wouldn't let us do it..." the male says. He has a point, if Jungkook had the choice to not try getting murdered so brutally, he would have.
"It was a theory Yoongi!" Jin then says, "we couldn't be sure, don't fucking go breaking people's neck like that!"
"He survived didn't he? Have kinda wanted to do that for a while," Yoongi says and rolls his shoulders, earning a strong glare from Taehyung again.
He gives him the fuckfinger and Yoongi returns it.
"I'm sorry, but it had to be done quickly. We wouldn't have been able to test it otherwise-"
"He could have fucking died!" Taehyung yells.
"But he didn't."
"He could have-"
"He. Didn't." Yoongi is the one to say sternly right now. They do not have time to worry about this and of course he didn't just break Jungkook's neck without reason. First, since he's so important either God or Diabolos would have done anything to avoid that from happening, which obviously means-
Yoongi's thoughts stop and he stares ahead. Taehyung helps Jungkook back on his feet, making sure the boy isn't feeling dizzy or anything. His neck is perfectly twisted and back in place. So scary.
"What?" Namjoon questions. He knows that look in Yoongi's face, meaning he figured something out.
"They must know..." he says, "they know about Jungkook, but what the hell would Diabolos do with someone who's immortal?"
Jin gets back to the table and sits down. He starts running through the pages and looks over any possible leads.
"To take over the world?" he then says and points his finger at a certain line in the book, "the desire to rule the population."
It's a paragraph written in a chapter about the devil, which is obviously Diabolos. It has always been known that the devil wants to take over earth. To kill humans or use them as slaves.
Hoseok walks closer and looks down. His eyes skims a little over the page and he nods, "we had about this in school. As we said before, Diabolos can't go to earth so he has to do it in a different way... and if he wants to control the public?"
Hoseok looks over the books and sees one that might spark his interest. He grabs it and opens it up, looking through the chapter register. Leaving the boys hanging with curiosity is definitely a desire in this group because they always need this dramatic pause of finding a certain sentence before continuing.
"Here," he says and let's a finger run along a line while he reads; "humans feel highly of themselves but they are stupider than a rat. One person who are good with words can create a holocaust. Once lead, the human race is dreadful."
The others look at each other, not sure what part of that is supposed to make sense. Stupid? Dreadful? Well, the human race isn't beautiful at all, but stupid wasn't exactly the word that came to mind first.
"What do you mean by that?" Taehyung asks, still a hand tightly around Jungkook. The younger hasn't said a thing yet, he's just staring at a dot on the floor. It's clearly not easy just wrapping your head around what has happened to him.
"You know the holocaust? It happened because Hitler was hella good with words and he had the ability to convince an entire nation to follow him, even if his motives were terrible," Hoseok begins, "so what do you think the public would say if an immortal person appeared and started acting like God on earth?"
"Oh..." Taehyung says, hesitantly meeting Namjoon's eyes which he often does when he's scared. The elder male seems conflicted and worried, so he quickly turns to Hoseok again.
"So Diabolos want to take over Jungkook and that way control the world?" Namjoon asks, "but if humans have already seen angels, why would they follow an immortal?"
"Isn't he the only one stronger than any angel there is?" Hoseok then asks. Jungkook wouldn't be able to die from an angel's force either, which was nicely shown by Yoongi, therefore he is dangerous.
"Jungkook is the only one on this planet the angels can't touch," Jin then mumbles. He looks at the boy who has a panicked look on his face, "he's unbeatable."
Jungkook feels tears sting in his eyes at that statement. He can't die? Diabolos want him because he can't die and then take over the world? Fuck. This is not good. Not good at all.
He just wants a life for himself, why is it that he can't have that? Now he's suddenly some unbeatable, God like creature? He didn't do shit. Why the fuck did he end up like this.
"Why... why me?" he speaks his thoughts. Everyone turns to Jin at that question because they truly don't know why Jungkook is the one with this ability.
Jin shakes his head, "I have no clue," he turns towards the many books, "but we might figure out in one of these."
There are numerous books and it will take forever for them to get through them all. However, it might be the only way. Since Jungkook is now a known 'phenomenon' which there is written of in the books, there might be a chapter somewhere telling how he emerged or became what he is today.
"I guess we got no other choice then search?" Namjoon says and the others hum in agreement. They don't have a lot of time before Diabolos will make a move, but it's not going to be easy for him to take over Jungkook. That buys them time... precious time.
Taehyung turns to Jungkook while the guys start discussing how to get through all these books as quickly as possible.
The boy gulps and his teary eyes blink a few times before looking up at his angel. Taehyung's heart breaks simply at that. So much has happened for Jungkook in a very short amount of time. so it's not weird that he's scared and confused.
"I-I feel sick," he whispers gently. Taehyung bites his lip and nods gently. He wraps his arm around Jungkook's shoulders and turns to the guys.
"I will take him home for a while," Taehyung says, "we will come back tomorrow."
Understandingly, the others in the room nod and wish them goodbye. Namjoon even pats Jungkook's head and reasures him that they will keep him safe. That's exactly what he needs to hear to get through this without going insane.
With that, the two youngest leave the library and head back, hand in hand.
