"The Soul Gate, Part 2"

One by one witches' were being killed by those around them because of the horrid incident of the woman drowning herself while under a spell. It was caused by witchcraft, so all witches were to blame. Even if that witch had never shown ill intention for  those around them. It wasn't long before Jeonghyeon got home with a few others finding "Witches must die !", written on their front door. 

Angry neighbors began to storm the witches' home with pitchforks & torches. Yelling all kinds of rude obscenities & accusations. Jeonghyeon felt his heart break when he had seen the relatives of of friends among the angry mob out to kill his family. He needed a solution before all was lost forever. "모두 모여요, 어서!" (Everyone together, now !) 

No time was left to be wasted. Jeonghyeon had himself & the remaining witches cut their palms as they drained some blood into a bottle. The door to their home being shaken by the force of the growing mob. This spell drained blood & magic from those who participated. When the mob managed to break in, it was too late. A single giant release of magic dispersed from Jeonghyeon & the bottle. 

Now this didn't completely seal the magic away... It in fact lead forth to Jeonghyeon' family to still use magic, & a tragic solution that affected the world as they knew it.

The seven tied up boys felt the gush of magic immensely. After the dust settled, their families released them from their bonds. It soon had become apparent that something was wrong, but they went on to live their lives. 

Life goes on. Eventually the seven aforementioned families drifted apart. Contact was lost & the separate families began living for themselves.

Present time...

Yoongi had walked away angrily from his friend Juyoung. Namjoon left home with more worries than he ever had before. Hoseok had much to prove. Hoseok didn't want to pay his father' debt for the rest of his life, or live without purpose anymore. Jin had left his younger brother & his family. A decision Seokjin only made with the positive pushing from his brother, Seokjun. 

Taehyung believed in Jimin' wish, so he opted to join him on a journey that could very well end in failure. Lastly, Jungkook walked out from a toxic conversation to start his journey to find the soul gate.

Soon enough they all wake up. Over a year had passed since they walked through the soul gate. Things weren't as they remembered. The world wasn't as they remembered before walking through the gate. The cloaked woman who lead them to the gate greeted them once more. "집에 갈 준비 됐나요?" (Ready to head home ?) Yoongi was the first to question her. All of this felt familiar, but unrecognizable nonetheless. 

"Where am I ? How long have I been here ?" The cloaked woman gave a small sigh. She still was a giant mystery to the seven men before her. What was her secret exactly ? "You've all been in a coma for the last year. You're loved on, if you still have any, were made aware of your condition." Jimin looked at the woman. "그럼 왜 망토를 입고 있죠? 우리가 어떻게 당신의 말을 믿을 수 있겠어요?" (Then why are you in a cloak ? How can we trust what you are saying ?) He had a valid point. Why should they trust anything this woman was saying ? The woman wasted no more time on trying to explain. 

She directed their attention to a car. A very expensive looking car. "This car will take each of you home. I hope you aren't burdened or indebted to me because I have been looking after you while you were comatose." Jungkook quickly got in the car. Jungkook wanted to get back to his life. Jin & Namjoon also had families they really needed to get back too. So they were the next ones to get into the car. Well, more like van. Yoongi slowly got in a few minutes later. 

The last ones were Taehyung & Jimin. "Are you nervous, Jimin ?" Tae was worried for his best friend. His soulmate. "I don't trust any of this, Taehyung. It just doesn't make any sense to me." Taehyung knew things were different, but things clearly weren't what they remembered. "집에 가야 돼요, 지민 씨. 그것을 미룰 수는 없습니다." (We need to go home, Jimin. There is no putting it off.) Jimin sighed. He knew absolutely that Taehyung was right. The others watched from the car in a mix of anxiety & amusement.

Reluctantly Jimin was the last one to enter the van after Tae. Next stop, their homes.
