Put A Spell On You - Annie Lennox

"Uggghhhhh I'm so bored," Taehyung's eyes flickers from his phone to Tigresa, who gulps down a glass of red wine with a heavy pout on their lips, "This is how it feels like not having friends in high school huh?"

Minho chuckles from beside them, moving a hand to ruffle to Tigresa hair, "At least we had each other."

The face Tigresa made was enough to make both Minho and Taehyung chuckle or snicker, watching them rise from the chair to with a sigh, "If you don't excuse me, I'll be puking in the bathroom."

And with that Tigresa leaves the table, leaving Minho and Taehyung alone. The night has been passing by smoothly, surprisingly. A few people here and there has came up to Taehyung, some bullies of his too and even apologized for how they treated him.

Eh, not like Taehyung was the type to hold grudges either way.

Unlike Karma and Tigresa.

"Weren't you looking to get laid tonight?"

Taehyung snaps his gaze to Minho, who decided to sit on the empty chair beside him with a friendly smile. Besides Jimin and Jeongguk, Minho has been a close friend to Taehyung too since high school. Especially since he's dating Taehyung's sibling. They naturally have a very tied bond together, that's why Minho always comes to him for advise in regards to anything.

He's a good friend.... Someone Taehyung hopes to have by his side for a long time.

A low pout forms Taehyung's lips, twirling the wine in his glass, "Eh, not like I've had sex with anyone in a while. My flirting game is horrible."

Minho snorts in a low chuckle, leaning on the table, "Because you are a cute little softy and shy. Gotta let yourself be more.... Effortless?"

Well isn't that helpful.

Taehyung rolls his eyes and turns to look at him, "Based on my horrible experience, girls these days don't like a little softy in bed at my age. They like someone who knows what they're doing, and unfortunately for me I don't have much experience."

For a moment Minho stares at Taehyung, perplexed but with this.... Odd look that made him feel as though he was being scanned. It kinda forced Taehyung to shift a little in his seat, but he tried not to show how weird it made him feel.

Then suddenly the brunette haired male blinks, clearing his throat before looking away from Taehyung, "Then I guess find someone to teach you. It's not always a bad thing to experiment a little."

Well, not a bad idea but as he said there's not much people out there that's up for experimentation. It's either something serious or some feelings get in the way. Taehyung doesn't want something serious, but eh.... It's a little hard looking for someone like that.

So right when he was about to say something, his eyes met Minho's gaze, and it felt as though his throat tightened hard. He doesn't know why he's feeling that way but he feels some sort of tension now bubbling between them. It wasn't usually there before so that's why it's a little confusing as to why now?

Thankfully before Taehyung could even question it, Tigresa returns to sit on the chair between them with a heavy sigh, snapping the tension completely before smiling bright when they grab Taehyung's wine glass.

"Got to love reunions."

A refresher.

That's what Jimin needed.

A refresher because tonight he wants to completely let loose, hopefully get laid and not worry about a case anytime soon.

Ugh, it definitely was a mistake coming here. The whole night he's just been tense and would jump whenever anyone would pass by him, thinking it's Taemin.

It's been ten years, ten years since they've seen each other and..... Just being in the same building after that much time has passed definitely isn't so settling.

So to catch a breather, that's why Jimin came to this evidently expensive and large bathroom to splash water onto his face. He was considering getting shit faced with Kai and hope that he won't have to remember this night for a long time.

More so not remember Taemin's face for a long time.

Whatever the case may be.

Through Jimin's loss train of thought, he didn't notice the presence of someone suddenly washing their hands to the sink beside his. Not until suddenly sees a clean paper towel extended out to him.

Without looking up, he takes it with a low huff, "Thanks."

"No problem."

The towel immediately dropped from Jimin's hands, looking up in horror to Taemin nonchalantly drying his hands with a low hum and clearly unbothered by the fact that he's standing next to Jimin right now.

However he did look at him after a while, making something in Jimin's stomach twist.

He looks exactly the same.

Nothing has changed..... Maybe his face matured up a bit but other than that.... Wow...

No!

Absolutely no!

Jimin snaps his gaze away from him, picking up the towel he dropped and throws it away. Just about ready to go, he hears his voice again.

"You haven't changed," Jimin's heart practically stopped beating, "Gatita."

That.

That right there boiled Jimin's blood to the last brim.

The audacity-

Subconsciously Jimin's hands balled into a fist and before he could even think about it, he whirls around and was just about ready to swing at Taemin's face but the man blocks the line of hit and grabs Jimin by the wrist.

Like muscle memory, Jimin whirls around him to twist Taemin's arm to his back, shackling him against the counter of the sink in a matter of seconds roughly.

This made Taemin laugh, a very amused laugh that made his smile reach his eyes. The sight was so contagious when Jimin glanced at it from the mirror, but his grip on Taemin tightens so he wouldn't escape so easily.

"I see you still remember what I taught you," The silver haired man giggles quietly, wincing a little when he tried to move, "Nice to see you again."

Jimin's teeth snarls, using his other hand to snag the back of Taemin's hair, yanking his head back so his lips could caress the shell of his ear so he could listen loud and clear. Taemin grunts a little to the aggressive hold, but couldn't do anything to escape it either way.

"Stay out of my way. You're no longer part of my life," Jimin growls aggressively against his ear, gripping his hair tighter, "And I'm no longer part of yours. Remember that."

Taemin didn't say anything but he did perk an eyebrow and tries not to smirk, "Good to know you still have your attitude."

"Being abandoned does wonders doesn't it?"

"I never abandoned you," Taemin mutters out, making Jimin narrow his eyes, "You ran away. I tried looking for you for years but couldn't find you anywhere."

Jimin yanks his hair back harder, "Liar. Just like when you told me you would fight for our relationship, made me look like an idiot when I tried chasing after you..... You're nothing but a liar."

And with that Jimin roughly let's him go, keeping his guard up immediately when Taemin turns around with a more sincere stare that maybe in the past would've swayed Jimin.

Not anymore.

Instead of staying a second longer here, more so before Jimin would get emotional, he storms out of the bathroom without another word.

Snatching a wine bottle form a random table to himself because he definitely is going to need it.

Lazily Jeongguk is walking down the hallway, escaping the talons of a few previous students that he use to study with. Maybe it wasn't helping that he was his charming and kind self because that definitely lead them on, but after skidding through a few hallways he managed to lose them and was on his way back to the ballroom.

Don't get him wrong, he wouldn't mind fooling around with someone or even having something serious, but right now he's just not up for it since he just knows himself and his schedule.

The last thing he wants is for his life to get complicated, and seeing someone will get feelings in the way and then if they end up being assholes then what?

Not only did he get attached but his emotional state would be obvious for his kids, and he doesn't want them to worry about that.

In frustration Jeongguk rubs his blonde hair and looks up when he hears a few giggles. His eyes subconsciously snaps up, feeling his heart slipping a beat when he sees Woosung and Ten in a distance walking down the hallway but to the direction he was coming from.

Ah shit.

Nervously Jeongguk looks around and moves aside as he kept walking, hoping that they wouldn't see-

"Jeongguk?"

Well fuck.

There goes staying hidden.

Jeongguk snaps his eyes up, seeing both Woosung and Ten standing in front of him. It looks as though they were frozen in time, not moving and maybe not even breathing because damn that's how Jeongguk felt too.

They haven't changed that much.

Woosung facial features has grown much more mature and perhaps he's lost a couple pounds too, but those eyes- Shit those glossy eyes are still the same.

Along with Ten, who really hasn't changed dramatically but he definitely looks more defined, adjusting to his age but still appearing a few years younger. Despite his cute attire, that tough aura doesn't leave him.

After all, he was the one who would fight back then for them whenever someone tried to be funny and mess around.

His appearance is his biggest disguise.

Yet as much as Jeongguk tried to cling onto good memories to restrain himself, all he could remember is seeing them in court with teary eyes as they lost their best friend because they reported the CPS to take Jeongguk's kids away from him, ruined his college acceptance, and his fucking life in general.

And when Jimin's mother brought out the evidence in court, they were dead to Jeongguk.

Taehyung tried to be the one saying that there must be something involved that maybe Jeongguk doesn't know about and they're keeping from him, and maybe he's right.

But until then, he's going to be pissed.

His kids were going to be taken away from him,  and who knows if their next home would've even treated them as good as the way Jeongguk does now.

That made his blood boil.

So with a firm frown, keeps his head up, "Move out of my way."

The two didn't say anything, not until Jeongguk moved that Woosung suddenly stands in his way with a pleading stare.

"Bambi I.... I know it's been a while an-"

"Don't you dare fucking call me Bambi," Jeongguk growls so dangerously low and aggressive as his patience slowly becomes chipped, "I said to move."

"I-I know we fucked up but please can we just talk-"

Jeongguk's vision blurred from there, not realizing when his hand raised to shove Woosung back. However another arm blocks it immediately, forcing Jeongguk to move his animalistic glare from a trembling Woosung to a very monotone Ten.

He didn't say anything at first but he did use his arm to shove Jeongguk's back, narrowing his glare, "Let's not get too violent now, hm? After all we just want to chat."

This perked a sarcastic chuckle from Jeongguk's lips, shaking his head in disbelief with an eye roll, "Trust me the last thing I want to do right now is talk to either of you."

Ten blinks, perking his eyebrows annoyedly before shrugging and cracks his neck, "In that case," And he gets to a fighting stance, "Let's dance pretty boy."

Woosung immediately got between the two when Jeongguk also got into a fighting stance, nervously looking between them, "Can we please not do this? Like here? Are you serious?!"

Jeongguk didn't really care where it was, if it was here or under a damn stupid bridge, but all he knows he's been holding this back for years.

And this is the only way they're ever going to exchange a word because he's definitely not up for talking right now.

Not until he lets out everything he has been bubbling up for years-

"D-Dad?"

And that's how quickly Jeongguk's anger deflated, looking past Ten's shoulder to see Chungha standing by the entrance to the ballroom where the reunion is being held.

An accusing stare is jumping between Woosung and Ten from her mean look, but then she looks at Jeongguk with a more unease gaze.

They didn't have to speak to communicate, Jeongguk knowing well that Chungha is signaling him to not do anything that'll bring him in trouble.

Not here at least.

So for her sake, even Yeosang's, Jeongguk relaxed, glaring at Ten murderously as the other male tilts his head to the side in a challenging smirk.

"Just go get your brother, we're leaving."

Chungha recognizes that tone, immediately standing up straight with a hard nod before turning around to find her brother.

Meanwhile Ten also relaxes from his stance, hands to his back with a cautious stare in case Jeongguk last minute tries to attempt something.

However Jeongguk only steps closer to them, his sneering glare moving between the two while using so much will power to restrain himself.

"The next time I see you guys, if that ever happens again, best believe I'm finishing this."

Woosung gulps thickly, his trembling body stepping back while Ten stands firmly, his smile twinkling wider in a forceful manner that was almost as though a cynical demon was staring into Jeongguk's soul.

Ten always had a dark but twisted personality, it's intimidating.

"Then I can't wait until we see each other again."

Jeongguk's lips snarls and his fist tightens but then he sees Yeosang and Chungha approaching the scene, only managing to huff annoyedly before shoving between the two to reach his kids to leave.

But Yeosang and Chungha only walks past him,    making him whirl around in confusion but suddenly his jaw drops when Yeosang suddenly goes up to Ten and flips him over his shoulder easily and aggressively to collide to the ground. Meanwhile Chungha approaches a squeaking Woosung, kicking the back of his leg to make him drop on the floor on his knees but suddenly holds him in a headlock, making him collapse within seconds to the ground unconsciously to the lack of air and panic.

This all happened too fast for Jeongguk to even say anything, only watching how Yeosang and Chungha uninterestedly stares at them on the ground.

"Don't mess with my father," Chungha huffs annoyedly to the two, walking over Woosung's body before high fiving Yeosang on the way.

Jeongguk tried not to feel a proud with his own smirk, not having it in him to lecture them now  about getting involved in his business so he just walks forward with his kids trailing behind on either side of him.

Making sure to keep a note to himself about how much he fucking loves his children.

A/N:
A wild run of emotions huh hahaha did you guys like these perspectives?

Tbh this Taemin that's in this story is almost the same character as how he was in intoxicating, including the family background haha just to get some nostalgia in it. Maybe this is his and Jimin's future story with a small twist? Who knows lol

Same goes with Ten and Woosung, they're more similar to their characters from Panacea. As for Minho hm.... Maybe intoxicating for sure, maybe a little of Panacea too. Yeosang's characters is pretty consistent but I guess he's more of a womanizer lol And I guess we are getting to know Chungha from Raw if she grew up :')

Let's see how this story goes!

I PURPLE YOU! <3333

I PURPLE YOU! <333
