Taehyung's jaw dropped to the floor. "Miss Muscle is coming to this school to give a fucking speech???" Taehyung asked, and Jimin giggled. The boys were in a lounge in the school during their free period.

"You're a fan, huh?" Jimin asked, and Taehyung scoffed, coiling his fingers tightly. "Who isn't??"

Miss Muscle was a superhero, and currently reigning the number one superhero in Korea. Her superpower was super strength, a very rare but highly desired trait. She had long beautiful black hair, eyes sleek like a cat, and the aura of a goddess.

"True. I have all her action figurines." Namjoon said, and Jin looked at him fondly and then snickered.

"Fucking weeb."

"You literally bought me those action figures." Namjoon snapped.

"We been knew Jin was Namjoon's sugar daddy," Hoseok said, and Jin grimaced, and Namjoon shuddered.

"But yes, same. I once saw her fight a villain when I was 5. It was happening in my city. Fucking best thing to happen." Hoseok said, eyes gleaming, and then looked at him. "Except the fact that the infrastructure was ruined and, like, 12 people got injured."

"She's my inspiration. To see her be so heroic and win so gracefully, it's amazing." Taehyung said, and Yoongi joined their conversation.

"You're so fucking lame," Yoongi mumbled to himself, and Taehyung looked away, wondering what he did to upset him this time. "Seriously, though. She's so strong and ALWAYS wins! I mean, she's the reason our country is safe." Yoongi said, and the boys hummed.

Taehyung looked to the side of the lounge while the boys continued talking. He saw Jungkook sitting alone, typing something into his phone. The sunlight was falling on his rosy complexion, and his blonde hair looked lighter. Something about him made Taehyung want to be closer to him.

Taehyung stood up from his seat. The dustbin was quite close to where Jungkook was sitting, so Taehyung could just pretend to be throwing something away. Yeah, that works.

So Taehyung grabbed a paper from the notepad beside him in his hands and crumbled it, and then got up to walk over to Jungkook. Taehyung chucked the paper in the bin and then cringed when it didn't go in and instead hit the rim and fell out.

Jungkook saw that and giggled. "Not sporty, huh?"

Taehyung looked at him. "Oh- not really. I'm more of a books guy." Taehyung said, and Jungkook hummed, looking back at his notebook.

Fuck, more of a books guy?? Who says that?? Now he thinks you're LAME!

"Hey so," Taehyung began, and then sat down in the seat in front of Jungkook. "What's your trait?"

"What's yours?" Jungkook asked with a smirk, and Taehyung chuckled shyly. "You know I'm not gonna say,"

"Why not? That just makes me more curious. Is it something really nerdy?" Jungkook asked, tilting his head. "Like, can you memorize stuff or something?"

"That's not the kind of trait to get you into this type of a school," Taehyung said, and Jungkook nodded. "You're right. That means it's something cool-"

"No-"

"You can kill people in a snap!" Jungkook guessed. Taehyung shook his head. "You can levitate things!" Taehyung shook his head. "You can stop time!" Taehyung shook his head.

Jungkook whined. "Well, what is it?? I'm getting a little annoyed, now." Jungkook humphed, and Taehyung almost smiled at how cute he was.

"It's nothing-" Taehyung began, but then the windows suddenly burst open because of how windy it was outside. Everyone in the lounge looked at the windows and groaned, mumbling something about bad weather.

Taehyung, unknowingly, put his hand up and moved it a little, and the windows closed.

Jungkook gasped. "Oh my god."

Taehyung looked at him, and then put his hand down. "Umm- no- you didn't see anything-"

"You just closed the-" Jungkook began, and Taehyung put his hand over Jungkook's mouth. "Shush!"

Jungkook licked Taehyung's hand, and Taehyung grimaced and pulled his hand back. Jungkook giggled. "Did I scare you away, virgin?"

Taehyung blushed lightly, looking down. "I know b-being a virgin is- is lame or whatever... but not everyone here has had sex, have they?"

"Oh, you innocent little boy," Jungkook sighed, booping Taehyung's nose, making him move back and blush. "Jimin sucks dicks CONSTANTLY-"

"I can hear you. And no I don't!" Jimin snapped and then frowned while staring ahead. "Not constantly..." He mumbled, and Hoseok ruffled his hair.

"Jin makes copies of himself and fucks everyone in this school! Namjoon? He mind controls himself in the mirror and imagines he's having sex with the person of his dreams. Hoseok? He super speeds so fast he's had sex as many times as Ghengis Khan," Jungkook snapped, and all Jin, Namjoon, and Hoseok looked very offended.

"Yoongi? That dude's so bisexual he has 83 protons in his body constantly." Jungkook snapped, and Yoongi frowned. It took him a few seconds to get it, but when he did, he started laughing.

Taehyung let out a snicker. "I love a good science joke."

"No wonder you're a virgin," Jungkook said, and then giggled when Taehyung pursed his lips.

"You guys are kind of mean," Taehyung said, and Jungkook pinched Taehyung's cheek. "Don't worry, Taehyung! One day you'll find the right one and you'll have sex with them and we'll all be there supporting you."

"I don't think I want that," Taehyung mumbled, and Jungkook got up, ruffled his hair, and walked out of the lounge. Taehyung watched him walk out, staring at his butt which was perfectly round.

"Jeez, for a virgin you sure are trying really hard to tap Jungkook's ass," Yoongi said, snarky. Taehyung snapped his head towards the boys and blushed.

"W-what? No- not at all, I-" Taehyung began, and then gulped and shook his head. "I-I'm not trying anything,"

"No offense, Taehyung, I mean- we really have come to find you skillfully endearing, but it's kind of obvious. You get all red when he talks to you." Jin said.

"Your mom gets all red when she talks to you." Taehyung snapped, and Jin frowned, so Taehyung gulped. "Sorry. I said the first thing that came to my head. No, I don't! I'm always red."

"We don't think you're weird, Tae. Don't worry." Hoseok said, and Taehyung frowned. "Everyone wants to tap Jungkook's ass."

"Except us, because we're his friends, and we have respectfully made boundaries. Right?" Jimin said sharply as if telling the boys something. The boys hummed, looking in every other direction.

Taehyung was very confused. Jimin sighed. "Don't worry." Jimin smiled, and Taehyung hummed. "Um. Okay. I'm gonna go to my next class." Taehyung said, and then picked up his bag and walked out of the lounge.

Jimin sighed. "Not him too..."

"Relax, Jimin. He's a human with a functioning brain. Of course he's attracted to Jungkook." Yoongi said, and Jimin rose his eyebrow.

"Well, someone's got to save him before we lose another one to Jungkook," Namjoon mumbled, and the boys went through a small silence, and then went back to their conversations, leaving behind the tense topic.

Taehyung walked out of the building, seeing many more students in the uniforms walking around the big campus park. Taehyung liked this university, liked how everyone seemed to keen.

Everyone here wanted to be a superhero or fight the rising criminal activity in their country. Being in this university meant afterward they'd probably get starting jobs at amazing hero companies and slowly become heroes themselves. Taehyung was more than excited.

Taehyung sighed to himself. The whole 'virgin' thing was upsetting him further every second. He knows Jungkook was just teasing him and not intentionally being mean, but it felt.... bad.

Like, Taehyung wanted to stop being a virgin instantly.

Taehyung grew up in a small town. In that town, there were a handful of boys and girls his age. The girls he'd all been too close with, and the boys he'd never seen that way. He'd never seen boys in that way before. Not until now. Everyone seemed gay here.

Taehyung reached his next class and walked inside, sitting down in the back alone. One thing sucked about joining in the second year, and that is that everyone already had their friends. Good thing he met Jimin, so at least he made friends through him.

Taehyung saw one of the lamps beside him on the table flickering. There were a few girls in the class, but they were talking within themselves. Taehyung saw the lamp flickering and then die.

Taehyung looked around, made sure no one was looking, and then reached his hand over to the lamp nonchalantly, touched it, and saw it light up again. Taehyung smiled and reached his hand back, and then looked up and saw Jungkook looking at him with wide eyes.

"You didn't see anything."

"Oh, I totally saw everything."

"I just pressed the button on the back." Taehyung stammered. Jungkook smirked, sitting down beside him.

"No, you didn't! You turned it on! Ooh~ Mr. Kim Taehyung, is that your power? Turning things on?" Jungkook whispered, winking. Taehyung blushed.

"N-no-" Taehyung squeaked, and then cleared his throat, wondering why he got so closed up in front of Jungkook. Jungkook laughed.

"Okay, well, we're in maths now. I don't understand why the fuck we have to do maths. It's not like I'm going to be fighting a fucking criminal and then have to do algebra." Jungkook grumbled.

"It's just to make sure we're... smart, I guess," Taehyung said, and Jungkook looked at him and smiled, leaning in.

"You probably really like math, don't ya?" Jungkook asked, and Taehyung gulped. He looked at Jungkook shyly.

"I-it's fun," Taehyung said, and Jungkook laughed loudly, scaring Taehyung. "It's fun?? God, Taehyung. Do you even want to get laid?"

Taehyung looked down, gripping a pen tightly. "I-I do," Taehyung said, and then bit his lip. "I'm j-just kidding. I don't like maths."

"Right," Jungkook said, and then both saw a guy walk into the class, really buff, wearing the school uniform loosely. The dude had massive muscles, gelled up hair, and looked like, well, a douchebag.

The school uniform for Seoul Hero Academy was a tight shirt which came in various colors (depending on your liking) and trousers or shorts or a skirt (again, depending on your liking).

"Whatever, dude. I'm gonna show the coach what's what. He thinks I shouldn't be the front liner for the team?? I mean, the fuck's wrong with him?" The guy scoffed, and his friend laughed.

"Hey Ren." Jungkook said, and Taehyung took his notebook out, deciding to get started ahead of time.

"Oh, hey Jungkook," The boy said, and Taehyung looked up and saw the guy smirking. "Fun seeing you here."

"I've always been in your maths class, dummy," Jungkook said with a roll of his eyes, and the guy snickered. "Oh. I don't notice you like this."

Jungkook hummed, biting his bottom lip. "You free later tonight?" Jungkook asked, and Taehyung frowned to himself.

"You know I'm free for you, Jungkook." The boy said, and Jungkook giggled. Taehyung gulped.

The boy went and sat down on his seat, and Taehyung looked at Jungkook, who smiled to himself and opened his notebook, looking distracted. "What's- um- what's tonight?"

Jungkook looked at him and looked like he was about to laugh. "Oh. Um. I'm going to the... library with him. Yeah. We're gonna study together." Jungkook said.

Taehyung pretended he didn't know Jungkook was being sarcastic with him and nodded quickly, looking back at his notebook. He remembered what Jimin and the other boys were saying and thought about it for a few seconds.

The door opened, and everyone in the class started literally clapping when they saw a substitute teacher instead of their normal one. The substitute rolled her eyes and told everyone to do textbook work. Jungkook grinned.

"Oh, cool. Maybe we can do some trigonometry~" Taehyung said, and Jungkook scoffed.

"Are you kidding? Let's bunk." Jungkook said, and Taehyung looked up at him.

Be cool. "Okay," Taehyung said, and Jungkook got up from his seat, and so did Taehyung. "We're going to the washroom," Jungkook said, and grabbed Taehyung's arm and dragged him outside the classroom.

Once they were out, both began rushing down the hallways. "Didn't think I'd be doing this kind of thing in Seoul Hero Academy," Taehyung mumbled.

"Oh there's so much more shit you're not prepared for," Jungkook said, and they both ran out of the building and onto the park of the campus.

Taehyung saw it empty and smiled. "Wow, I love this place," Taehyung said, and began walking over to the garden area with all the trees and flowers. "It's so pretty." Taehyung continued, and then looked down and saw a baby tree sprout growing from the bottom of another tree.

Jungkook watched as Taehyung reached his hand down to the baby sprout and touched it- and the baby sprout twirled a little and looked healthier. Jungkook scoffed. "Dude, what the fuck is your trait?"

"Nothing! What's yours?" Taehyung asked, and Jungkook giggled.

"Guess," Jungkook said, and then moved behind the tree. Taehyung hummed.

"Umm.. mind control? No, that's way too strong." Taehyung said, and Jungkook looked from behind the tree and gasped.

"Are you saying I'm not strong? I'm offended, Taehyung." Jungkook pouted and then moved behind the tree. Taehyung smiled softly and rushed to where Jungkook was, but then froze when he saw nothing.

Taehyung frowned. "Invisibility?"

Jungkook suddenly appeared beside him. "Try again," Jungkook whispered, and Taehyung yelled out in surprise but then sighed.

Jungkook looked at him with a small smirk, and Taehyung bit his lip, humming.

"I don't know, do something," Taehyung said, and Jungkook suddenly began twerking.

Taehyung covered his eyes. "God, not like that-"

Jungkook giggled, stopping. "Sorry. Now seriously! Guess!" Jungkook said, and then ran away behind the tree again. Taehyung followed him, and then saw he disappeared.

"Seriously what-" Taehyung began, and heard a boo and screamed- and turned around and saw Jungkook. Jungkook giggled.

Jungkook fixed strands of Taehyung's brown hair and then bit his lip. "For someone so smart, you're sure not using your brain right now." Jungkook hummed.

Taehyung looked at him. "Seducing people?"

"What?" Jungkook asked, tilting his head.

"Can you seduce people? Is that your trait? Like- like a siren?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook still looked confused. "I think the scientific term would be Subliminal Seduction. You can project seductive thoughts into the subconscious and otherwise seduce subjects?"

Jungkook was still. Taehyung gulped. "Was I wrong?"

Jungkook grinned slightly. "How did you find out?" Jungkook asked softly.

Taehyung smiled. "Yes! I knew it! It's-" Taehyung began, and then chuckled. "It's because when I first met you my mind went, like, haywire. And it never does. I just- I got weirdly intimidated by you but- but also thought you were really really pretty, you know? Like really pretty." Taehyung said, and then sighed. "Now I know why that is."

Jungkook looked at him for a few seconds and then began laughing.

"That-" Jungkook began, and Taehyung frowned. "That's not my trait at all, dummy! I can't seduce people!! You-" Jungkook began and then stood up lazily, giggling. "You think I'm pretty."

Taehyung froze, eyes going wide and cheeks going pink. "W-wait- but-" Taehyung began, and then gulped. "But-"

"Awww, Taehyung~" Jungkook said, and Taehyung took a few steps back, turning around.

"S-sorry. I just- I look stupid now. Wow." Taehyung snickered and then covered his face with his hands. "I really thought. I mean- I don't know, I just... I haven't been around many pretty people, I guess?" Taehyung stammered, and then turned around and saw Jungkook gone.

"He left," Taehyung mumbled to himself and then dropped his head down.

Taehyung sat down on the ground, back to the tree. I'm so stupid, Taehyung thought to himself, groaning out loud. Stupid stupid stupid-

Taehyung suddenly heard a woof.

He looked down and saw a little black puppy wagging its little tail and sticking its tongue out. Taehyung sniffled. "Oh, w-wow. You're adorable." Taehyung said, smiling a little. Sure, Jungkook made him feel crappy, but there was a cute dog. All his problems vanished.

Taehyung picked up the dog and then held it onto his lap, smiling. He began petting the dog, and the dog barked joyously. "He probably hates me now," Taehyung said to the dog.

Suddenly the dog transformed. Taehyung yelled. Because instead of the dog, Jungkook was on his lap.

"No I don't," Jungkook said, and Taehyung's eyes widened.

"W-what?" Taehyung let out, and Jungkook laughed and felt Taehyung's hands on his waist.

"I can shapeshift, you dumbass," Jungkook said, and Taehyung gulped. Wow. Jungkook was truly the only person so far that has made Taehyung feel so dumb.

"O-oh!" Taehyung said softly, and then gasped, and then smiled. "Oh! OH! Oh WOW! Wow! That's- that's so strong!"

Jungkook blushed lightly. "Thank you. Now tell me yours." Jungkook said, putting his hands on Taehyung's shirt. Taehyung felt his cheeks redden at the touch, and gripped Jungkook's waist too tight.

Jungkook suddenly felt a shock through his body and squeaked out in surprise. Taehyung's eyes grew wide and he dropped his hold on Jungkook, causing Jungkook to fall off his lap. "A-ah- I got an electric shock from you-"

Taehyung hesitated. "Sorry. Are you alright? I didn't mean to hurt you-" Taehyung stammered, and Jungkook rubbed his back and huffed.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Jungkook said, and then frowned. "Why won't you tell me your trait?"

"I just-" Taehyung said, and then gulped. "I don't like the reaction I get from it. That's all."

Jungkook rose his eyebrow and then sighed. "Fine. Whatever. You can keep it all to yourself. But know this-" Jungkook began, and then stood up. "Next week we're going to start the battle examinations. That means you're going to have to show your trait, or else you'll fail." Jungkook said.

"I know," Taehyung said. Jungkook hummed. "Okay. I'm going now. See you, I guess." Jungkook mumbled, and Taehyung watched as Jungkook shapeshifted into a bird and then flew towards the school.

Taehyung sighed to himself. He looked at his hands. He knows what everyone's going to say when they see his trait- and he just- he doesn't like it. Doesn't like the... attention.
