Just Like Magic

The headmaster sighed deeply and looked at the professors and staffs in the meeting hall

"We have to start preparing them. We aren't going to give them break this time. They will continue their regular classes despite what happened."

The headmaster stated as Eric stood up to give his opinion

"But PSY hyung, they will be destroyed from the inside. They need sometime to recover."

Eric stated as the rest of the professors and staffs nodded

"Well remember when we lost Jonghyun, Sulli and Hara? Did we step down from our duties for sometime to recover? No we didn't. And they are the next generation after ours. Who knows when we will die? Who knows when they will have to lead after our turn is over? Who knows? We have to prepare them. They may be broken right now but they will recover."

Jaesang replied while sighing as Mrs. Jeon stood up

"My son and nephew never recovered from my beloved sister's death. It was difficult and sometimes I hear Jungkook and Wonwoo both cry at night, missing her. And the way they lost her wasn't even of natural cause or disease. They lost her because of those cruel beings. Even now it is still difficult for IU to get over the three of them. How do you expect us to live like this? We don't recover when we lose someone dear to us PSY. Just like you never recovered from your best friend's death."

Mrs. Jeon stated as tears filled her eyes. Taeyeon wiped the tears threatening to fall as it was a difficult decision

"Then how will they be prepared?! They need to learn that people will come and go in their lives and in the end nothing will be left other than themselves! Not even their youthful appearance will be with them!"

Jaesang exclaimed angrily as he slammed his fists on the meeting table

"Baekhyun and Chanyeol were kicked out of the damn territory just because they weren't 'pretty' enough! Yoongi's mother aka my best friend died just because she couldn't let go of Yoongi's younger brothers! Can you even imagine the amount of our beings who have joined the human beings for our own destruction?! You all are aware of it! There are countless and we know only some of them! Think of how the younger generation will fight for their lives and their people without knowing that it's their own being who betrayed them! Half of the parents of the students here have joined the humans to kill their own children! They need to get used to losing their own beings so that when the time comes that they will have to kill their own and even parents of some of them, they won't feel anything!"

Jaesang shouted as Jessi stood up to calm the headmaster down

"Please calm down oppa. We have to deal with this calmly."

Jessi stated as she knew how difficult it was, is and will be for the headmaster to lead everyone in such crisis

"All of you stay here. I will deal with them and come back."

Jaesang stated before leaving as Mrs. Jeon burst out crying

"Damn it sunbae."

Taeyang whispered under his breath as the headmaster headed straight to the cafeteria with a calm expression

"I am sorry for this. It will be harsh but this is for all of you. I won't be giving you any breaks for this. I know and understand that you lost someone really dear to you all but it's better to start getting used to this things. You will lose more people along the way in this world."

The headmaster stated as he knew guilt will eat him up seeing his students suffer in silence but they had to learn how to deal things in resilience to survive in this world of cruelty

"You will be given one day break though. Since the cafeteria is a mess and Moonbin passed away, it will take sometime to clean and explain to the security personnels."

The headmaster stated as he changed his mind on it. He thought that it was a bit to harsh so he wanted them to have only one day of break. The students nodded without any objections while the headmaster just sighed deeply and left. It was a long night for everyone in the academy. Chan decided that it's better if his friends knew the truth

"Tell everyone to come to the arena before it's midnight."

Chan stated to Changbin, giving San the opportunity to comfort Sanha and Changbin, before turning around as he put his hands in his pocket and felt the papers folded in it, making him smile bitterly while he walked away from the cafeteria. The first people who came there were obviously Vernon and Seungkwan even if Seungkwan was still crying about his best friend's death. Then Namjoon, Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook showed up along with Mingyu and Bang Chan. Then came Seungcheol, Jeonghan, Joshua, Seokmin, Soonyoung, Jihoon, Minghao, Junhui and Hyunjin. Seonghwa, Hongjoong and Yunho showed up when it was 11. Chan waited and waited and Changbin, Yeonjun, Soobin, Taehyung, Beomgyu, Huening Kai, San, Felix, Wooyoung and Jeongin showed up. Jongho and Yeosang showed up with Hanjin, Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Nishimura. Finally exactly at 12, Minho, Seungmin, Hanuel and Samuel entered as Chan turned to them with a bitter smile

"It's one hell of a news. Why don't Dk hyung and Woozi hyung come here and read it for all of us?"

Chan stated as Jihoon could feel himself tense up while Seokmin was genuinely confused but both of them walked towards Chan, who had realized in the given amount of time that Jihoon and Seokmin could have known about this but never told him. Seokmin's eyes widened in shock after reading it but Jihoon's eyes showed only pain and remorse. Seokmin's eyes watered as he ran and hugged Chan tightly, who hugged him back with tears running down his cheeks. Jihoon just turned away and wiped his tears away while holding onto the paper tightly

"W-What's wrong?"

Soonyoung asked but Jihoon refused to tell it. Chan broke the hug and walked up to Jihoon

"You knew it hyung so why?... Why didn't you tell us?!"

Chan exclaimed as grabbed Jihoon's shoulder and turned him around

"Come on hyung! Answer me!"

Chan shouted as he shook Jihoon's shoulder while Jihoon didn't speak. Seokmin became pale after the realization struck him. He slowly walked towards Chan and Jihoon with fresh tears falling down his cheeks

"Come on hyung, reply to him. Why didn't you tell us?"

Seokmin asked as his voice broke. Everyone excluding Changbin and Mingi were confused about the situation. Changbin and Mingi realized what was going on but decided to let Jihoon say it by himself

"You guys wanna know?! Fine then. But be prepared because you will regret asking me in the first place."

Jihoon stated angrily as he put Chan's hands down from his shoulder and turned away from them
