Chapter 24

Sorry if there are mistakes in this chapter 😭 I'm having a terrible headache 😑
___________

Jungkook sits silently on the edge of his bed, looking down at his hands that won't stop shaking. They seem more pale than they usually are and they are so cold Jungkook feels like they will fall off at some point.

Immortal? It sounds like the joke of the century. But he is immortal... Yoongi broke his neck and Jungkook doesn't feel a thing anymore. He doesn't feel any pain, there isn't any physical signs that he was literally dead half an hour ago.

It's all heavy on his mind and his heart. Imagine believing something your entire life just for someone to say you have been wrong all along. Jungkook can imagine that the first people who got to know about the angels felt the same way as he does right now.

Confused. In disbelief... angry.

"Here," Taehyung voice emerges as he walks over to Jungkook with a cold glass of milk. He bought the one with banana taste because he knows it's Jungkook's favorite. Everything he can do to lighten the younger's mood, he will do. Almost.

"Thanks," Jungkook whispers and grabs the glass with his shaking hands. He's grateful that Taehyung keeps a hand underneath it to make sure it won't slip from the brunette's fingers.

He drinks it and loves the taste that fills his mouth. It's so familiar and normal, just a glass of milk. He holds tighter around the glass and feels his eyes sting with tears as he squeeze them shut and gulps all the liquid down.

Taehyung places his free hand against the side of Jungkook's head and makes him stop drinking or else he might choke himself at some point. The younger let's out a gasp but let's Taehyung take the cup and put it on the table.

"You're okay," he repeats and cups Jungkook's face. The younger nods, but it doesn't seem convincing at all. He doesn't feel okay in the slightest.

They look into each others eyes and Jungkook is satisfied with the feeling of safety that settles in him when Taehyung looks at him. He really is his guardian angel, protecting him and making him feel better.

Jungkook closes his eyes when Taehyung leans in a places a gentle kiss on the boy's forehead. Then on the nose. The cheeks and lastly on his eyelid.

Jungkook sighs, "I don't understand... I have been beaten up several times in my life and I- I felt the pain, I saw the blood and it healed like it normally would... so why-"

He's getting worked up again so Taehyung shushes him when he pulls back and presses their foreheads together.

"You just haven't realized until now. It will still hurt, but it can't kill you. What you see as normal speed of healing isn't the same for others, you just haven't been aware of that," Taehyung's says, "you have an amazing power Jungkook. But... also one that can be abused if it ends in the wrong hands."

Jungkook gulps and is forced to look up when Taehyung pulls back again and grabs under his chin, lifting up his face.

"I said it before and I will say it again. You are not a bad person Jungkook, you are strong. You won't be taken over, okay? I will protect you," he continues.

Jungkook sniffs a little and nods. He guesses he can't escape it so he doesn't have any other option than to fight it. He doesn't know if he can do it, but he will try.

"Okay."

Namjoon and Jin sit by one of the walls, on the floor, in the library with a small flashlight Jin brought with him since there isn't any electricity here anymore.

The others have gone home to get some sleep, but Jin wasn't done searching. Finally, something is keeping his mind entertained so he will rather do this than sleep to be honest.

However, the missing electricity makes the library super dark and also cold. It's 2 am, so he didn't really expect anything else. His body doesn't work that way though, so he's shaking in the freezing cold and white puffs of air are escaping his dry lips.

Namjoon, who's sitting in front of him, has noticed this a long time ago. He has tried telling Jin and convincing him to go home, but as always, the elder is one hell of a stubborn man.

"Jin please. We can continue tomorrow. You'll freeze to death before dawn," he tries to argue.

"Y-you underestimate me," Jin says back, but his voice is small and it cracks. His hands are turning the pages of the book on his lap slowly because his hands are so cold. That's the thing about this place. It's hella warm doing the day and then freezingly cold doing the night. And Jin is not well dressed for it.

Namjoon sighs. He isn't cold because his wings are wrapped around him. Their feathers are like a thick blanket, so he doesn't feel a thing. He bites his lip and hesitates. Asking if Jin wants to come into the warmth and not freeze will either get Namjoon a ticket to heaven or hell.

Well, he's dead anyway.

"Why don't you sit with me then?" he asks, holding his breath as he waits for the other's reaction. Jin looks up at him slowly before eyeing the huge, black wings that are wrapped around Namjoon.

They are amazing somehow. Something humans don't really understand before they see them and feel them in real life. Such great strenght, it's almost frightening.

They look inviting, Jin won't lie. He is freezing his ass off, but he's also waaaay too stuck-up to just give in.

"What makes you think I would do that?" he asks and moves a little, lifting the book so it's hiding his face from the other. Namjoon chuckles a little and slowly unfolds his wings so they are spread out widely.

"I will force you back home otherwise," the angel state. All he has to do is grab Jin and fly away with him. He wouldn't be popular if he did that and he would like to avoid getting hated by Jin, so he hopes the elder will be smart enough to accept this offer.

Jin can see the wings by the edge of his book and he lowers it slowly, peeking at Namjoon over the top. He glares as Namjoon smiles at him while spreading his arms out. For a long while, Jin just looks at him, probably considering what to do.

"You're an asshole," he mumbles.

"Thank you for the compliment," Namjoon says indifferently, not letting his smile drop at any time.

Jin let's out a loud sigh and drops the book. He is freezing a lot and he was almost at his limit anyway. With a sour look on his face, he gently slides over to the other and hesitently leans against his chest with his back.

Namjoon feels his heart flutter as the back of Jin's head leans against his shoulder, and the angel's arms gently wrap around Jin's slender waist.

He's so beautiful!

Namjoon can't help but think that when the other is so close to him. He smells like strawberries and Namjoon wants to hold him close all the time. His big wings gently closes around them and Jin let's out a soft sigh by the warm feeling that suddenly surrounds him.

Jin probably planned on reading more, but the elder man seems exhausted and too comfortable to care right now. After barely five minutes in complete silence, Jin's eyes flutter shut and he falls into a light sleep.

Namjoon rests his chin against Jin's shoulder and just listens to the male's soft breathing.

__________

Namjoon feels his body give a strong shock and his eyes open in surprise. He blinks a few times and yawns a little. It's still dark outside, so it can't be more then 5 am in the morning.

Namjoon wonders why his body reacted like that, he hasn't tried that before while sleeping so-

His thoughts get interrupted when the flinch happens again, but this time he realizes he isn't the one who's acting like that. With a frown, the angel looks at Jin who's still wrapped up in his arms and wings.

The male has a pained expression on his face, tears are streaming down his cheeks and his breathing is fast and uncontrolled.

So that's why Namjoon woke up. The male feels the pain in his chest from Jin's nightmare, feeling the struggle Jin is working through right now. It's about his family again.

That's the thing about the feeling angels have when they sense their humans. They can tell what it's about most of the time because there's different type of emotions showing up with every situation. For angels, it's just way stronger than for humans so they could never truly understand what's meant by that.

Jin flinches again and his entire body tenses, causing him to shake. Namjoon is quick to place the elder man better against him and wipe the tears off his puffy cheeks.

"Shhh, nothing is going to happen Jin," the angel whispers, "I'm here."

Namjoon keeps whispering calming words and his hands gently cares for the man's face and body. It quickly and clearly makes Jin calm down and his breathing starts getting back on track. Namjoon had a suspicion that Jin often has nightmares, now he got it confirmed.

Waking Jin up can cause him more shock and panic than he's already in, so Namjoon keeps trying to calm him down and gently rocks him back and forth without forcing him awake.

Jin's eyes stop rushing from side to side behind his eyelids and his body stops tensing as Namjoon massages his neck, shoulders and waist with one hand gently.

Namjoon can't help but feel sad by the sight of Jin having a nightmare. Whatever this man has been through, it has been traumatizing. The angel hugs Jin tightly and keeps caring for the back of his head, his fingers gently running through the man's hair.

"I will keep your safe, no matter what."
