Symposium

6: Meeting

Jungkook dorm room, 7h15 Am

Jungkook woke up fresh and ready. Really those 4 hours of sleep had done him the greatest good. He stretched and felt his stomach stir. That was a good sign. He should hurry and get some breakfast before going to class.

He slipped on his slippers and headed to the bathroom, passing a hand through his tangled hair. He should maybe call Jin and ask him to bring him some green tea. He needed to take care of his skin and his hair today. He hesitated for a moment as he passed by the door. He could verify if that crazy boy was gone.

He walked slowly, his heart pounding for no apparent reason. He abruptly opened the door and hurriedly raised his leg to hold the boy who was falling.

He was sitting on the floor, leaning against the door. He was breathing with difficulty and his cheeks bore signs of dried tears. Jungkook bent down and took him in his arms. He seemed sick and did not wake up.

- Hey! Hey!

Fuck! He should have asked his name. He pushed the door open with his foot and went back in with the boy. Jungkook put him down gently on his bed and patted his cheeks. They were cold.

- Hey! Wake up.

He took the opportunity to stare at him. He was small, with a baby face. Jungkook knew he had big blue eyes, silver, almost white hair, luscious lip, and a small nose. His skin seemed ghostly. He put his hand on his forehead to take his temperature. No, no fever.

Suddenly the boy moved and his body rose like he was about to float. Jungkook grabbed him and pinned him down by getting on top of him. Was he having a seizure or something?

- Hey! Wake up! You're scaring the shit out of me now. Wake up!

But he didn't. Instead, his body went really cold and statics was all over him. Without really knowing what he was doing, Jungkook took his hand and squeezed it.

- I'll let you stay with me. Whatever you want... but open your eyes...

He almost screamed when the boy did. But he did not move and his eyes were fixed, like he was looking at something far away. What the fuck?!

He bit his lip. Jungkook did not know what was going on but he was sure of one thing: this boy was not a freshman and he might be a deranged person.

Calix woke up and looked around him, disoriented. Zeus put down his magazine and threw him a concern look.

- Calix, are you okay?

- Zeus!! You're here! You came to see me ...Thanks for that. We need to punish that bastard Leo, he threw me inside of a bathroom! Can you imagine? A bathroom!!

The father of all gods smiled at him and patted his hair.

- It's okay my child...but I can't stay here long. You should blend in and find the boy you're supposed to help fast.

Calix opened big eyes and rose from his seat. He was in Zeus's cloud cart and he could see the school down there. He sat back down with a long sigh.

- Find him? You mean he goes to that school?

- I'm just saying that Leo is a death angel. He doesn't have feelings and does not hold grudges... like someone we know. If he dropped you there, that only mean that your boy is here.

- My boy? Grandpa, please don't call him that. I'm really close of snapping his neck myself... why didn't Leo just drop me to the target itself?

- Don't call him a target. You need to protect him, not kill him. I can only tell you that he did his best. I'm here to give you that Zeus said giving him a golden whistle. After you blew in it, you can use your powers for 5 minutes only... and also, I sent you some help at the school. You should be fine my child.
