WANDS AND SPELLS | VKOOK ✓

52 | way to the tunnel

"Dad, are you okay?"

Taehyung mumbled slowly rubbing his thumb against his father's cheek who passed out in the middle of their conversation as they were searching for the secret chambers. It was very sudden when it happened and they all were worried.

However seeing him slowly opening his eyes after two minutes of pause, they all breathed in relief. All the professors plus the guards were helping them find the chambers because they all wanted to stop whatever Jonhan was doing and also Jeongguk was their favourite boy. Hearing what was in store for him, they had to help.

Some students also joined while some hid in their dorms. Not their fault, they were too scared and it was actually normal cause no one knows what's gonna happen on the way to find Jeongguk.

While Taehyung and Yoongi stayed with the unconscious man, the others kept on searching for the chambers from the information Taehyung had on it. He could only tell them a vague description of it from the night Jeongguk brought him here but they left midway.

"Taehyung," his father mumbled looking up at the boy on whose thigh he was resting his head on. The spell the mage had on him and Jeongguk that night broke and he saw everything too. Finally he remembered what was forgotten long ago because of the spell. That night, it wasn't just Jeongguk who had a forgetting spell on him, Hansung got it too. The only one who survived was Haechul who left the place before he casted it upon them.

Haechul tried helping that time too but because of the spell, no one remembered anything. They tried to deal it on their own not trying to drag anyone in this danger after whatever happened thirteen years ago.

When he saw that it was getting impossible to get to the mage and take the wand, he tried to kill Jeongguk in troll's garden that night. But what was Jeongguk's fault in all of these. Maybe if he killed the blond that night, all these couldn't have happened and everything would end then and there but could he ever forgive himself?

What would be the difference between him and Jonhan then? Killing the innocents, that's not who he was and he let Jeongguk go. Haechul never told this to anyone as he knew Taehyung would probably try to warn his boyfriend about it and then the game would be over. He didn't take a chance to tell that it all ends with Jeon Jeongguk. Only Yoongi knew.

"We have to hurry."

"What did you see, dad? Why are you so tensed?" Taehyung asked when his father pulled himself to his feet.

"So Jeongguk is the last stepping stone, Jonhan has to kill him to finish the ritual?" he asked Yoongi who hung his head low, this wasn't supposed to be out. They were supposed to stop him before this even happens. The father son duo never mentioned it to them and now it was nothing less than thunderbolt.

"What is dad saying, huh?" Taehyung grabbed the pale boy's collars and shouted those words out, "Is he gonna kill my Jeonggukkie?"

"If we don't stop him, yes." Yoongi answered and Taehyung punched him in the face, "The fuck! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you warn him?"

"I tried, I told him. He didn't believe me," Yoongi didn't react to that punch because he felt like shit too for messing it up. Maybe he should've been more clear about it, maybe he should've told Taehyung about it.

"Tae, calm down. We can't waste time by fighting each other. We need to find him and stop him." Jimin hugged his best friend from behind that kind of calmed him down and as soon as he composed a little, he broke down in tears but no he didn't have time for weeping.

Jeongguk isn't dead yet and he will find him.

He will find his favourite person.

"He will take him to Teng forest, we must go there instead of wasting time here," Taehyung's dad suggested, "For the completion of the ritual, he needs to get there. Look at the moon, it's fully red. He already killed the other seven. He will eventually go there so we need to go immediately. Right now! We don't have time."
