Just Us Three-But It Doesn't Have to Be

Part 41

"What do you mean?" Jungkook asked, Taehyung having pulled Jimin into his lap to calm him down a bit. Jimin sighed, putting his fingers to his temple. He rubbed the skin pressing down trying to alleviate the sudden headache. He had never really gotten headaches when he used his magic before, so this was a rather new experience, and one that justifiably got the other two concerned. Jungkook paused in what he was going to say, staring at Jimin with worry and slight fear in his eyes. He did not know why it was that Jimin had suddenly obtained a headache. 

"Are you okay?" Taehyung asked, quietly, given that they did not want to make any sort of noise that would alert Bangtan that something was wrong. That was definitely the last thing that they needed at the moment, given that they had sort of just recently been...well spying on them. Not that they would be able to know that, but they were not exactly the best at playing not guilty when it came to the gang hyungs. It would be obvious that they had done something, though perhaps what it was that they had done would escape the grasp of their mind. 

"I am fine," Jimin said, hissing slightly as his head decided to be a jerk and out him as it chose just then to pound horrible hard. Jungkook frowned, glaring at him. 

"Hyung," He whined. Jimin sighed. 

"It is just a headache, I don't know what exactly happened." He admitted, staring at the other two with a bit of worry. "It has never happened before." He bit his lower lip, gnawing on it worryingly. "I think perhaps I just strained myself. We haven't exactly rested much since we helped them the first time. Then we used our powers quite a bit lately." Jimin looked at Taehyung and Jungkook seriously. "We all should rest, and try and avoid using our magic as much as possible until they find someone to train us." Taehyung paused, holding his hand up, staring at Jimin with confusion. 

"Wait I thought that they were going to train us." He said, glancing at Jungkook, the both of them horribly confused. 

"Yeah, did they change their mind?" Jungkook wondered aloud. 

"Well," Jimin began, trying to figure out how exactly it was that he was supposed to go about explaining this. Without the others freaking out, of course. He did not really want to alarm them, but he was not really sure of a good way to explain what the other Hyungs were planning on doing without freaking them out. Not that they had no reason to. They had not been worried about other people entering in on their secret, and now they were. "Since the other Hyungs are not really...sure how you work with elemental magic, like ours, of course, it would be best to bring other people in who are more familiar with that sort of thing." Jimin said, deciding to just go for it. When in doubt, that was always the best approach. There was honestly not much else that he could do and so as such it was best to just rip the bandage off and leave the wound open. He figured that there was not much that they could do about it, it was bound to happen eventually. 

"They..." Taehyung stopped, shaking his head, staring at Jimin. "They are what now?" Jungkook shifted uneasily, while Jimin merely repeated his previous words. 

"I thought that..." Jungkook paused, thinking on what to say. "I thought that they knew what they were doing, which was why they offered to train us anyways." 

"I mean if we really think about it," Jimin said, cutting into what Taehyung was going to respond knowing it was not going to help the situation at hand. "Than it is still kind of them training us." Taehyung and Jungkook just blinked blankly at Jimin. 

"And how exactly is it that you get that?" Jungkook asked, his tone not accusing, just genuinely curious. 

"Well, think about it. If they introduce us to someone that they know, while they may not be training us directly, they are still helping to train us by introducing us to someone who knows what it is that they are doing, even if they themselves are unaware of it." Jimin explained. Taehyung took a breath, readying himself to argue, but ended up just huffing with a pout. 

"That actually makes sense. Which is annoying." Jimin just laughed, ruffling his hair. 

"Either way, like I said before, Jin is our best bet. He was the one who was standing up for us." 

"Standing...up for us how?" Taehyung asked, his voice filled with apprehension. He wanted to know, what exactly had caused Jin to stick up for them, and how exactly had he chosen to do so. Those were rather important things. 

"Well, you all know that...despite our...hesitance, perhaps, with having someone other than the hyungs train us, it would be dangerous considering they have no idea what they would be doing. JinHyung said that. He also said he thought that it was important that they find someone who wouldn't scare the hell out of us." Jimin sighed as he saw the  apprehensive looks still remaining on the others faces. 

"We should still be careful." Taehyung spoke quietly, as though worried that the hyungs would burst through the door any moment. 

"Taehyungie," Jungkook said, his voice equally as soft. For some reason, Jimin found himself annoyed by it. He was not entirely sure why. He knew why they were worried, he could fully understand it as well. They were nervous. He was nervous, he perfectly could understand what it was that was bothering them because, well it was bothering him too. He did not know why, because of that, he was more annoyed as to their frustrated uneasiness. He supposed it was just a him thing. Jin was trying, he knew out of all of them, Jin was the one who was likely trying his best. 

"Guys," Jimin interjected, not wanting Jungkook to say something more. Not yet at least, he wanted to get this through to them. "I...I really do think that, if nothing else, Jin Hyung really does want to help us." Jimin was sincere. While perhaps they may have had an...odd way of showing it, it was something that he was definitely sure of. "I...I know that..." He sighed heavily, trying to take time to articulate himself, thankful that both Taehyung and Jungkook were silent as he tried to figure out how he wanted to say this. "I know that we...I mean I believe, I know I am scared. I am nervous, we do not really know what to expect. The reality is, though, if...If we can get someone other than infamous Bangtan to train us?? I would rather it. I have heard things about the Bangtan training. I mean, you remember right? The rumors?" Taehyung and Jungkook froze, staring at Jimin.

"I mean, you do have a point. There are some pretty...bad rumors about their training." Jungkook agreed, glancing back at Taehyung. "I mean, of course we cannot really, ever truly know about how they train, but from what the rumors state it is pretty brutal." 

"We should probably try to be nicer to JinHyung from now on." Taehyung muttered under his breath, glancing up at Jimin and Jungkook. "I mean, out of all of them, Jiminie is right, he...He has been trying very hard for us. I feel sort of bad, if we did not." Jungkook groaned, but agreed because in the end, Taehyung and Jimin had a point, as much as he may despise that fact.

They were stuck there, and despite their tests, it would seem as though the gang Hyungs had no intentions of letting them go back to the system, so they would need to at least make some sort of effort now.
