Chapter 4
Members of Enhypen, TXT and BTS meet up in the HYBE building's giant practice room. Nineteen young men, who are dressed in various practice outfits, have gathered together after a wild and bizarre thunderstorm. Min Yoongi, BTS' main rapper, stifles a yawn, looking at TXT's Choi Soobin and then Park Sunghoon of Enhypen.
"You guys hear the wild storm last night?" Sunghoon asks, dipping his head respectfully to his 'sunbaes.' His dark brown hair accents his youthful face.
Park Jimin, possessing a silvery tint to his black hair, nods his head. "I could hear it while I was dreaming about bubbles?"
"Bubbles?" Kim Taehyung questions. "Typical Jimin dream." He gives a signature box smile in play.
"I'm rather interested in the stories that are rising," Choi Yeonjun states, tapping on his phone.
Kang Taehyun nods his head, his silvery hair bouncing up and down. "Is there more coming out?"
Kim Namjoon and Kim Seokjin share a look with one another. "What?" They have pink dyed hairdos.
Yeonjun shows everyone his phone screen. An article is pulled up. The headline at the top reads:
"Member of WEi Loses His Voice After Being Blasted with Purple Energy."
"Hey, isn't he a part of our ARMY?" Jimin questions, leaning forward and pointing at Yeonjun's phone screen. He proceeds to read the name of the subject of the article. "Kim Junseo...?"
Jeon Jungkook smiles. "Superpowers?!"
"No way!?" Choi Beomgyy and Taehyun gasp in unison, looking at one another.
"This article was just published," Yeonjun remarks. "Right after one came out about a member of ATEEZ being attacked by his own..." He trails off to gather himself. "His own friend."
"It wouldn't be Wooyoung-ssi, would it?" Huening Kai says with a playful smirk on his face.
Yeonjun shakes his head. "No! Wooyoung made it very clear that he was interested in Changbin from Stray Kids."
"Speaking of," Yang Jungwon says. "I saw the odd story about Stray Kids and how Lee Minho was transformed into a black cat."
Kim Sunoo sits away from the group, shyly playing around with something orange in color. They seem to think it is coming from his phone, which is in one hand. His natural black hair falls around his face.
"Sunoo-ah, what are you doing?" Jungwon scolds.
"Quit being a loner and come join the group," Park Jay tacks on, getting to his feet and coming over to the young man.
"We don't bite, sweetie," Jimin calls out, sweetly and bats his eyelashes.
"Flirting, already?" Jungkook growls, rolling his eyes.
"Okay, correction, Kookie bites," Jimin chuckles, rolling backward with laughter.
Sunoo smiles and shakes his head. "That's okay."
Jay hovers over him and gasps, staggering backward. "Sunoo...?"
Sunoo jumps up to his feet. "It's not...I don't know..." His hands begin glowing bright orange from his rising fear.
Everyone jumps up to their feet, staring at Sunoo.
Yeonjun throws a hand out. "Stop! Don't do anything you'll regret!"
Sunoo lifts his glowing hands up. "I don't know what's wrong with me?"
Jimin ducks behind Jungkook and Taehyung, but his fear brings to lift a blue glow to his hands. This catches the eyes of Beomgyu and Taehyun.
"He's got it too!" Beomgyu shouts out and points at Jimin.
Jungkook and Taehyung spin around to look at Jimin.
"What's going on?" Jin shouts out.
Jimin looks at his hands and then up at Jungkook and Taehyung. "I'm not...what is this?"
Sunoo's glows bright orange like he is on fire.
Yeonjun keeps his hand out before him and closes his eyes. His hand begins to glow red.
That's when Sunoo bursts into flames and drops to his knees, covering his eyes with his hands as flames shoot off of him and dance around the room.
"EVERYONE, GET OUT!" RM cries.
Ni-Ki looks sympathetically at Sunoo, but he is pushed toward the door by Lee Heeseung and Jungwon.
Jimin throws his hand out at one of the flames as it spits at him like an angry llama. He yelps as embers singe his skin, but blue energy like water floods from the palm of his hand and drenches the fire.
At the sight, Jimin spins and blasts more water at the flames, dousing them.
By now, it is only a very red looking Yeonjun, Jimin and Sunoo who remain in the room. Jimin anchors himself on the ground, standing beside Yeonjun and blasts water right at Sunoo, causing the orange on him to dissolve.
With his hair dripping and drenched with water, Sunoo remains sobbing on the ground on his knees.
Jimin looks at Yeonjun, who calms himself with deep breaths. Then he rushes up to Sunoo and drops down to him.
"Are you okay?" Jimin asks Sunoo.
Sunoo shakes his head. "I...I don't know what's wrong with me...I'm scared..."
Jimin grabs Sunoo's head and pulls him close to him, stroking his wet hair. "It's okay. It's okay."
Yeonjun, no longer glowing red, pads toward them. He squats down and puts a hand on Sunoo's shoulder. "You're not alone in being scared."
Jimin looks at Yeonjun with shock. "I never realized how handsome you are. You have a point. When I woke up this morning, I learned I could produce water when I get scared or feel frightened. I saw the news about Junseo and really panicked. It took everything in me not to flip out and show off my powers. I couldn't. What would my friends say?"
Yeonjun nods.
Sunoo looks up, his eyes landing on Jimin's arm, where a nasty burn mark is showing. "I hurt you."
Jimin looks down at his arm. "It's no big deal. I've been through far worse."
By now, the others begin to file back into the room, led by RM, who is running a hand through his hair. The practice room is drenched in puddles and there are a few burns etched into the walls.
"So six random people from six different K-Pop groups have superpowers?" Jin mutters half to himself as he looks around the room. "How do we explain this to the media, fans and staff?"
Sunoo, Jimin and Yeonjun look at the older man, blinking. He has a point.
