THE WIZARD [vkook]

57: opening up

Taehyung was done talking and sighed. He felt sad thinking back to it. But he didn't need to anymore. Jungkook was here.

The human felt a squeeze in his hand and smiled, looking up at Jungkook.

"I'm sorry for not showing up..."

"its okay now. At first I blamed you but when I got here I figured out something must have held you back."

"yea... You could say that"

"uhm... What exactly happened?" Taehyung asked. He sat up but still kept a hold of Jungkook's hand.

"i uh....Well...." Jungkook shut his lips again. Where should he start? "it happened right when you left. We said goodbye and you went through the gap. Right after that the floor behind me cracked open and I was pulled down by, well, Jungkook. The other me."

"you've been with him all that time?!"

"Yes I have." Jungkook said, his eyes looked sad.

"What did he do? You're hurt. Something must have gone wrong..."

"well, he obviously hates me. And he wants to get rid of me. He wants me dead." Jungkook said. "he had been around for a long time. Apparently he was not supposed to be alive he was supposed to be part of me." Jungkook was trying to explain it as easy as he could. "He is my other half that got separated from me when I was created. That explains my past happenings. My power is imbalanced because there is a part of me missing."

"I have so many questions..." Taehyung said softly. "but first. Why does he hate you? Why was he after you?"

"because I got everything he didn't have. He didn't have friends, he didn't have the control over the good parts that made him angry and jealous. He wanted to hurt me by murdering Taehyung and let the blame fall on me. Because everyone knew me, and did not know about him. He doesn't exist for the people here." Jungkook answered. He had feared the possibility of another version of him being out there somewhere. But he didn't think it would be in the same world. "so I was seen as the criminal and would be taken care of for him. He is the one behind the destruction and deaths. Not me..   And that is a relief" Jungkooj was afraid that he did all these things but not remember them. That would not be the first and because of that a possible outcome.

"So you really are innocent, I'm so glad to hear that" Taehyung said and smiled. "and...One more question. Your friends have meen mentioning something about your past. And you did now too, what happened that you don't want to talk about."

"i did bad things Tae... I didn't tell you because I don't want you to be afraid of me" Jungkook said.

"i'm not. And I won't. If it's in the past you won't do it again right? You can tell me."

The wizard sighed and continued. "when i was younger i grew up in a small village existing of only a few houses and some tents. I was taken in as a child only because I would die if they didn't. At first things were fine but then they turned against me. They only kept me alive. But they despised me, saying I was a spawn of evil, a monster. I had different eyes than them. I just showed up and then i did these strange things."  jungkook remembered it as if it was yesterday. "especially the kids of the village, they hated me and bullied me daily. At one point i had enough. They were hitting me and i curled up but ingot so angry all of the sudden. I didn't know what came over me but I just... Wished they were dead and then before i could see what happened their blood was all over me....I had killed them." jungkook paused debating if he should tell the other part too.... "the leader of the village...Camp found out and had enough.... They were going to kill me. They called me demon child and a waste of their food and supplies. They said they could kill a demon normally so they would have to cut me apart... And they tried.... One stabbed me in the chest to hit my heart but he missed. Then again i lost control over myself and my magical just went on its own....... They were all dead once i regained consciousness. They were dead Taehyung..... The forest ground was soaked in their blood and covered with their parts......" Jungkook teared up and he stared into nothing as he kept telling what he saw. "I am a monster-"

"no, you're not. You are Jungkook, a good wizard. Don't say that" Taehyung said and cupped the raven's face, making him look at him.

"why did i do that to them?..... I can never forgive myself....And that wasn't the last time... It happened more times after that.... I can't control it"

"and now? You haven't done that right?"

"i don't know..... I avoid such situations. I just want to do good and help people. I helped the war that happened because of the prince's death. But the war felt wrong. I'm glad it ended, but the eyes had turned to me... And I just didn't know.... I didn't know if I did it or not. If i did i wouldn't even remember it"

"baby... That's all in the past now. You know who did it. You said it yourself, you would never kill him. And you didnt. Things may have happened in the past, bad things.  But they are not who you are. You cant control it, and you changed. You should be proud how you were able to prevent it from happening again."

"You think so?"

"i know so" Taehyung smiled and hisbeyes widened when Jungkook pulled him back into a hug.

"Thank you..... I love you.... What do i do without you"

"I don't want to think about it." Taehyung chuckled. "Do you need some rest? The doctor park sa-"

"Yeah, I can sleep like this. With you here"

"But the bed is too small," Taehyung chuckled again.

"no worries, here" Jungkook opened the blankets and invited taehyung under. There they snuggled up in each other's arms and Jungkook drifted off to sleep, his exhaustion was too heavy to fight.
