There was a quiet knock at the bedroom door followed by an even quieter voice announcing:
"Master Min... they're waiting on you."
Said male simply grumbled in response, turning over in bed.
They could wait. Wait all day for all he cared.
"It's attitude like that, that always forces me to come up here and fetch you, descendant of Nari," a new voice announced.
This one much nearer. In fact standing right beside his bed.
Yoongi sighed as he felt a hand grab his upper arm. He didn't have to open his eyes to know he was no longer in his bedroom but rather in his dining room floors down. Now sitting upright at the elongated table. He let his head fall back against the backrest and still didn't open his eyes
"Just out of curiosity, is there anything you do other than sleep?" Taehyung subtly chastised
"I'm breathing aren't I?" Yoongi grumbled.
Taehyung made a short sound of amusement but the conversation was cut short by the one who had dragged Yoongi out of bed
"Now that all members are present," Balthazar threw a half annoyed glance towards Yoongi, who didn't even notice as his eyes were still closed," we may begin this meeting."
"Which is about what exactly," Jin asked with a slight sigh, arms crossed across his chest
"It's obvious isn't it? We use to only have a meeting every two years. Now we've had four in the past two months. Heaven still can't find the little runaway," Jungkook replied.
For a moment all eyes turned to look at the empty seat next to Taehyung and across from Hoseok
"But how is this our problem? Why are you flying pigs making it our problem?" Taehyung questioned irritably, rubbing his eyes tiredly
"Descendant of Uriel, I must insist you watch your words and tone," Balthazar said warningly.
"Taehyung has a point though. We've already told you we don't know anything about his whereabouts and he hasn't made any attempts to contact us," Jin recited for the hundredth time.
"Quite presumptuous of you to assume just because we're all sins that we'd be bussom-buddies. Because I know all you pests aren't up there, holding hands and singing Kumbaya day in and day out," Taehyung spoke up once again
Balthazar's jaw clenched for a second before he took a calming breathe to relax.
"Temper, temper. Be careful or you might find yourself taking up Wrath's mantle," Taehyung pushed further
"Descendant of Uriel-"
"Taehyung. I have a name: Taehyung. Or should I start calling you Servant to mankind?"
Before Balthazar could reply, Hoseok interjected
"May we proceed please. I'm sure neither of us want to be here more than the other. So let's get this over with. Greed behave yourself please and Balthazar get to the point please," Hoseok stopped the argument.
"My apologies brother," Balthazar said respectfully towards Hoseok.
Probably the only person, besides Jin, said archangel would ever show respect to.
"Technically his ancestor was your brother not hi-" Taehyung was catch short a glare sent his way by Hoseok.
Taehyung immediately put his hands up in surrender but his mischievous smile said anything other than surrender.
"Continue Balthazar," Hoseok invited
"Well, descendant of-... Jungkook was correct in saying that this would be about the missing sin. Heaven has come up with no leads so far....we can't find him," Balthazar confirmed.
"Kind of a given with the empty chair," Yoongi spoke up for the first time since the short interaction with Taehyung.
"Well, Heaven is sure that we won't be able to find him. Whatever he's doing, he's done it well. We've been coming out with blanks since he left. "
"Alright. But what does this have to do with us? We honestly don't know anything," Jimin spoke up.
"Yes. We know you don't. We aren't here to try and scout out information you don't have."
"Then what are you here for?" Jin questioned.
"Heaven has tasked you to find him," Balthazar finally answered
"What?" Hoseok asked
"Oh hell no," Taehyung said, already shaking his head.
"Well-" Balthazar began
"No," Taehyung cut him off
"It is a task from Heaven. You can't refuse," Balthazar snapped, tired of Taehyung attitude.
" It was Heaven's task in the first place to watch him and keep him where they wanted him. Now that he's disappeared right under your nose, it doesn't mean it becomes our problem," Taehyung argued, indignant.
"Besides Taehyung's wording, he's right. What makes Heaven think we can find him anyway?" Hoseok argued too.
"Exactly. I don't know what rumour you've heard. But sins can't just locate other sins," Jungkook added.
"Enough! There have been no rumours of that natural nor have we heard anything. We think you guys could find him because he seems to be fully equipped to hide from Heaven as well as angels. But maybe another sin isn't something he thought of."
There was a pause of silence before Hoseok spoke up:
"And what would happen if we did refuse?" Hoseok questioned
"Im afraid that isn't an option... refusing Heaven is commendable," Balthazar replied, a bit of guilt creeping through his voice.
Everyone was taken back by his reply.
"So punishment," Jin finally said, distaste clear in his voice.
"God gave humans what? Free will right? Well that must be nice. I wouldn't know of course," Taehyung said nonchalantly, but rage was prominent in his posture.
"And if we can't find him?" Hoseok asked.
Balthazar shook his head.
"You wouldn't be able to stop until you did."
"So Heaven gets tired of this cat and mouse and pass it on, forcibly, to the next poor sucker," Jimin spoke up, the ends of his lips turned down.
"Im sure you're find him sooner than later," Balthazar tried.
Surprisingly it was Hoseok who got up first.
"We will talk amongst ourselves later. But right now I have other places to be and I'm sure I'm not the only one."
"Of course. Go well, Descendant of Myung-Ok," Balthazar said, holding out a hand.
For the first time, Hoseok seemed hesitant to take it but nonetheless in the end he did.
"You as well, brother."
While Hoseok walked out of the room, Balthazar simply vanished into thin air.
"Great," Jin breathed.
"Congratulations Kim Namjoon, you've managed to be the biggest pain in my ass for two months straight. And you're only getting bigger," Taehyung grumbled, getting up and taking his leave as well.
One by one everyone left except for the owner of the house.
Yoongi rather climbed onto the dining table and sprawled out.
"Jennie," he called out.
"Yes Master Min," he got a reply instantly from his best maid
"Bring me a blanket and a pillow please," he requested through a yawn before he fell asleep.
