*Slightly unedited*

Namjoon couldn't sleep for the whole night.

No matter how badly he tried.

All he thought about is the mistake he did, leading all to this point in time. He tried hard to figure out how he fucked this up so badly.

Was it because his emotions were coated by anger and rage?

Pulling out the darkest parts of his mind as the people he loves the most in this world?

Is that it?

Or are their universes just so close to his?

These were the questions that were fucking up with his head all night long while he monitored what the parallels are doing in his living room. It seemed as though they situated themselves at random places to sleep.

Taehyung was ready to kill anyone if they took the couch, so that's where he laid. Jungkook took the floor beside it, clearly having this odd, tied connection with the masked man. Hoseok scrunched himself up on one of the leather chairs, hugging himself tightly as he slept. Seokjin rested against the wall, having a vase to his possession to use as a weapon. Yoongi rested by the window bay, not sleeping instantly as he gazed outside but eventually did after everyone else was knocked out. Then there was Jimin, who slept on the kitchen island with a knife as a tedy bear.

All night Namjoon watched them.

He watched how they behaved in their sleep, how they interacted before they did. It's clear that they all don't like each other in some way, perhaps their world issues, but Namjoon finds it quite interesting actually how in different universes they still somehow know each other.

Gues they always do come back to each other somehow after all.

When morning rise up, Namjoon was preparing for their time travel trip. He tried this time to be more precises on how to locate his partners, hoping that this will end up running smoothly.

But when jumping in between time, anything can happen.

That morning he lured everyone awake with the thick scent of food to eat.

And it's astonishing to see how they like the foods that their equal counterpart also enjoyed.

Interesting.

"Alright everyone, I'm going to be blunt and say that we don't have time," Namjoon says, just as everyone finished their meal and are around the island table, "You all want to go home just as badly as I want to find my partners. So today, we will travel within time and -"

Jimin raised his hand, his chaotic smile wide, "Question! Will we die?"

Namjoon blinks, "I dunno, maybe."

"Nice!"

"I actually have shit to do, so dying is out of the equation," Jungkook mutters bitterly, glaring at the sorcerer, "How is this going to work? Let's get it over with already!"

A deep grimace fills Namjoon's lips before he leans on the island, "Before we do, I have rules."

Taehyung tsks under his breath, "Of course you do."

"Rule 1, never tell anyone you're from another world. Whatever you do, adapt and that's it," Namjoon instructs, making Yoongi slowly nod silently, "Rule 2, Never talk to your counterpart of that world. It could cause some damage to the timeline. There's only so much I can do while travelling between time, so you will have to be responsible of that. Lastly Rule 3, Don't cause a mess. This will be different worlds we are entering. Different realities. Do not get tied up in their mess!"

Everyone listened, or so Namjoon wanted to believe they did, and when they didn't say anything back then he proceeded.

"Good, now with those cuffs I will always know your location at all times. I already gave you guys' images to how the parallel versions of you I'm looking for appear, so if you see them, please press on the cuffs. Any questions?"

Hoseok slowly raises a hand, making Namjoon nod, "How much time do we have?"

"I would like to find them before someone decided to kill them, so yeah, soon?"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Jimin beams enthusiastically, clapping his hands while grabbing Seokjin's arm, "This is going to be fun!"

Seokjin sends him a nasty snarl and rips his arm off him, looking at Namjoon, "Okay enough talk, what now?"

Namjoon glances warily at all of them but then waves a hand before walking away, leading them to a door that he made sure none of his partners enters inside. Wordlessly he unlocks the door and opens it, moving down the dark staircase.

"Hell no."

"I'm kinda scared of the dark."

"Can you fucking move already!"

"I swear I will kick you all down these fucking stairs if you continue to complain!"

A heavy exhale exasperates Namjoon's lips as he hears the complaints behind him, moving without another word until he reaches the end.

Where a pool rests the center of the room.

While he goes get the potions he needs, the rest froze while staring at the pool in this oddly luring feeling they get by just staring at it. The water appears as though it's glowing, especially by how dark the room is alone.

Quietly Taehyung approaches the pool, squating down and looking over it from behind his mask, having this odd feeling stir inside him that's making the voices uncomfortable to bear.

This pool is weird.

The rest quietly make their way around it, staring at it in a bit of accusing stares but also this nostalgia pang in their chests.

As though it's making them feel something.

Perhaps their fate in their own world? Who knows.

Seokjin leans over the water, beside Jimin who's carefully running his hand over the surface quietly, "We just go and find our counterparts, right?"

Namjoon hums back to the question, pouring some potions into the pool while warning them to not touch the water now, "That's it and then you'll go to your world."

"We will have to go through all our parallel universes," Taehyung mumbles, the realization slowly settling in, "I may not have them there."

Jungkook is beside him, casting in a furrowed eyebrow stare, "Who?"

Taehyung must've realized he said that out loud and suddenly sneers his stubborn glare, "Mind your fucking business! You still fucking annoy me!"

"I just asked a question - Fuck! You're still so complicated!"

"I'm complicated?-"

"Shut up!" Hoseok suddenly snaps, rubbing his ears anxiously while he trembles nervously, "I don't do well with loud noises."

"Lucky you we are done here," Namjoon says, just as the pool began to glow a little brighter, making everyone instantly step back.

The seems to have grown darker than how it was before, only filled by the light the pool is pouring out. The air grew colder, followed by the sudden making of a cloud just above the water.

Jimin warily steps back, since he was way too close to the ledge, but Yoongi was behind him to catch him from tripping over his feet, yet his eyes were flying everyone around the room in awe by the small sparks of lightening and wind that coated the entire room.

"And here I thought cocaine tripped me the fuck off," Jimin snickers, glancing at the still shocked Yoongi looking over the clouds while Namjoon reached into the pool while muttering spells.

"Our realities," Yoongi whispers, seeing through the winds to notice flashes of scenes cruising before his eyes. Multiple with him in it through his vision, "See our different lives."

Everyone is seeing this.

Their own different realities, flowing along the wind.

Taehyung lips parted to the sight of a happy vision of him while playing the violin in front of a crowd, having this unfamiliar boy cheering him on through a bullhorn once he finished.

Jungkook saw a version of himself dressed in fluffy clothes and smiling wide smile as he sits with a boy who he's never met before, but the two stare at one another with such a gaze he's ever seen.

Seokjin saw himself as a speed skater, being surrounded by a group of boys as they laughed together while watching anime or playing video games. There was this familiar boy leaning onto him, that he recognized as his world Taehyung's old lover, and his smile made Seokjin sick to his stomach.

Yoong saw himself with Jungkook, signing with him in this hospital type of area. He appeared younger, but so happy just to be around him as he is talking about his new friends.

Hoseok saw something that made him feel the tears whelm his eyes, and it was of him being part of this large group of friends where they would talk in a group chat the whole time. He had a boyfriend, who he doesn't recognize him before, but they were happy together, along with everyone who get gawking about this book that one of them wrote.

Jimin gazes over the sights, eyes glowing in delight, "So many versions of our lives, cool!" And his eyes sudden falls to one image, that flew right past his face, but he kept his gaze hard onto it while he twitched a frown when he saw one that held a familiar face, who seemed upset, but Jimin had no background to what happened to make him so sad.

Taemin.

He's.... Alive?

In complete awe to the moment, Jimin reached out a hand subconsciously, reaching for the image, "Here's here too."

But he couldn't grasp it, since the image disappeared.

Meanwhile Namjoon avoided looking at those different realities that would graze over his visions to see. Instead, he holds onto the glowing crystal that he pulled from the pool, the key to how they were going to enter the time dimensions.

"Alright everyone, come here."

The rest snapped out of their daze from the different lives the parallels held, now drawn to the glowing round crystal on Namjoon's hand as they all stood around it.

"All of you put your hands on the crystal and think about well of those images of the people I showed you," And Namjoon flashed the images before their faces, making sure they remembered well their physical, "And whatever you do, always remain together."

The rest didn't say anything but did respond with small nods back before they hesitantly pressed their hands on the crystal one by one.

Namjoon glances warily at all of them before closing his eyes, "Please don't let this be another fuck up."

And suddenly the light glowed brighter, sucking them in its aura.

Disappearing them from this world.
