Just Like Magic

57

For the first time in a while, they had a silent agreement on staying in groups just for their sake of mental peace and for the morning. Mingyu of course didn't join his group because he didn't tell another reason as to why he felt so guilty. The reason why Jimin was crying the night before was because his father had died while trying to revive Wonwoo's mother despite working for the underworld

"Where is he?"

Felix mumbled to himself as he went against the idea of asking Wooyoung. He tried to find Mingyu on his own because Jimin wanted to talk to him. He looked everywhere and ended up in the weapon room. He opened the door cautiously to see Mingyu practicing his sword. Felix sighed deeply and knocked on the door, startling Mingyu as he turned back to see Felix. His eyes immediately filled with guilt, pain and sorrow

"Jimin hyung wants to talk to you. Come on."

Felix stated as Mingyu couldn't help but sigh and put his sword back into its scabbard while looking down and followed Felix silently. Felix realized how much Mingyu was a mood maker for their group, Sunshines. He led him to the garden they made in the memory of their friendship

"Gyu..."

Jimin whispered as he saw how dull Mingyu looked. San couldn't even look at Mingyu because he felt like he would end up crying because of how sad and dull his hyung looked

"Y-Yes?"

Mingyu replied as he didn't dare to look at Jimin, who stood up and hugged Mingyu tightly

"You were never in the wrong Gyu. You found out only later on didn't you? You don't have to apologize for something you never did. Let's leave our pasts behind and move on please."

Jimin whispered as Mingyu didn't have any tears left to cry so all he did was hug Jimin back to comfort him

"Alright then hyung. We have a long day to spend today. Let's go to the cafeteria and grab breakfast."

Mingyu stated as he smiled. It just came out naturally so his groupmates didn't think much about it but deep inside the guilt and pain continued eating him up. The Foreigns spend their entire morning thinking about what the people they loved dearly went through the day before. Seungkwan lost his best friend and Hongjoong found out the truth about his older brother. Eunwoo lost a person really dear to him and Mingyu was in so much pain that no one could ever imagine while Seokmin finally reunited with his long lost brothers. Jungkook and Wonwoo were still in shock after the truth which came out yesterday but there was nothing they could do to really help them out of this

"I think we should go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast. That's the least we can do for now."

Minghao suggested as the other three just nodded silently and followed Minghao to the cafeteria. Ethereal beauties were in the library to talk things out

"Mingyu doesn't deserve this. He never did anything wrong."

Joshua stated as Jeonghan nodded in agreement. Since the two had moved on from the past, the effect of the truth coming out didn't last much. They forgave Mingyu for keeping the truth to himself for so long and were thankful that he even did it in the first place. Seokjin and Yeosang nodded in agreement. Seonghwa and Minho were too busy, absorbed in the books they were reading at the moment to avoid worrying too much about their friends and soulmates

"Might as well go and grab some breakfast. Come on guys."

Seokjin stated as the other 5 nodded before standing up and heading to the cafeteria, not forgetting to arrange the place and the books neatly before leaving. Seungkwan sat down on the swing at the main garden. He was all alone. He still couldn't get over the last night's events and needed some minutes to fully process it

Okay so- Moonbin passed- don't cry Kwan you weakling! Don't cry! You have to stay strong for him! Then Seok, Chan and Woozi hyung came out to be siblings! They must be really happy! And finally Mingyu... Well it isn't his fault. He never deserved such a thing in the first place.

Seungkwan thought as he took some deep breaths to calm himself down

Having breakfast isn't a bad idea...

Seungkwan thought as he stood up and headed straight towards the cafeteria. Exceptionals were busy helping the professors clean up the mess of last night even if half of them were not in their right state of mind. Jisung was really worried about Seungmin. Seokmin too was really worried about Jungkook, Mingyu, Bang Chan and Eunwoo. Seungcheol knew that Jeonghan and Joshua were doing fine. Namjoon felt really bad for whatever Jimin had to go through. Hongjoong was feeling really guilty for what Mingyu had to go through just to protect him. Jongho was basically worried about Hongjoong but he was the only one who was stable enough to help the professors

"You guys should go and eat something."

Eric stated with a gentle smile as the Exceptionals nodded and headed straight to the cafeteria to eat. Tricksters were in no good shape except for Wooyoung. Jeongin was really worried about Seungmin, who was too afraid to leave the dorms as his new powers were still not under his full control. Taehyung was trying to help Jungkook through yesterday's events. Wooyoung felt really frustrated that everything felt so wrong at that moment

"We are going to eat breakfast whether you are fine or not at the moment. We need to eat food and then think clearly. First off we will help you Minnie so come on!"

Wooyoung exclaimed as he banged on the door of Seungmin's dorm. Seungmin slowly opened the door to see Wooyoung holding a pair of gloves

"Wear these for now. I will ask Chan to melt away the ice you created out of control. Now come on!"

Wooyoung whined as Seungmin couldn't believe that Wooyoung was even older than him. Wooyoung then helped Taehyung to support Jungkook while he walked as Jungkook's steps were really clumsy. Swayers were already in the cafeteria, hoping that their friends would come and join them soon

"I don't think we should wait for them hyung."

Hyunjin stated with a deep sigh as Hoseok shook his head

"I believe that they are on their way. Just 5 more minutes please. If they don't show up then we can start eating."

Hoseok stated as Soonyoung sighed and looked down. He wanted to give Jihoon and Wonwoo the time they needed to recover from their pasts. Yunho awkwardly watched everything as he looked over at Chan and smiled at him awkwardly. Chan realized that Yunho was really awkward about this situation as he knew that deep down Yunho was feeling the pain of losing Moonbin at some extent. Hyunjin anxiously waited, not aware of the situation Strikers were going through at that moment

"If you two don't get your asses up then I am fucking going to-"

Yoongi exclaimed a bit as Changbin held him back from snapping at the two. Mingi watched helplessly as Wonwoo and Jihoon wouldn't get up from their beds. Yoongi was practically scolding them to at least eat their food but the two wouldn't even move out of their beds

"For your soulmates. Please do it hyungs."

Mingi stepped in at the end as Yoongi was about to explode hadn't it been for Changbin. The two of them thought about how their soulmates would feel, making them feel guilty therefore they slowly got out of bed and freshened up before leaving with Yoongi, Changbin and Mingi
