"She's not yours to have." Taehyung sneers at him.
"Yours. Mine. Ours." Jungkook shrugs as he fixes her hair tie on his wrist.
Taehyung's eyes stare at the tie in his possession before glaring at him.
"Either way, we both know I'm not going anywh...

The heat of the sun beats down on the stadium as the employees set up for the games. It's approaching three o'clock in the afternoon and with the games starting this evening, they really need to hustle.
The venue has been open since this morning, with time slots for each coven to practice privately before the games begin at six o'clock.
All of the previous participating covens stood with their mates and members, talking amongst themselves as they waited for their practice slot to begin. As they waited for the employees to finish rejuvenating the training areas back to their original quality, they gave each other pep talks and boosted their already large egos. Some even laughed and joked until it was time to begin. Then their faces visibly dropped into focused frowns and furrowed brows.
The House of Genesis seems to be the only one visibly divided as they wait.
An odd sight for the employees to see given their track record. They're usually the ones laughing and joking throughout their whole practice slot. It's rare that there's any sort of quietness to the stadium when they're there.
The coven is usually very close knit, laughing and shoving one another. They're not shy with their care for one another, especially if there was a bit more roughness during the training session.
The year prior, Jimin whipped Yoongi through the stadium like a ragdoll and felt terribly afterwards. Though the staff were concerned, Yoongi just laughed it off and told Jimin that if he wanted to do real damage, he'd have to 'throw him a little harder than that'.
This year, things are different.
The energy in the air is tense. It's not airy and light as it usually is. The almost silence of the House of Genesis is causing great anxiety for those around them.
On one side of the field stands Genesis, Valerie and Jimin. Though he is offput by the energy, Jimin's instinctive loyalty lies with the Head of his coven. And Valerie's lies with Jimin.
On the other side, Avery stands with Hoseok, a blank faced Namjoon and a stoic Jungkook. He can feel the daggers being stared into him by Genesis. But he is concerned about leaving Avery's side.
He doesn't know who needs him more in this moment. His wife or his daughter. He supposes that they both need him equally as much but would one be more upset than the other if he chose a side?
You shouldn't have to choose. We are your family. Avery's voice sounds off in his head.
Can I have a moment of privacy to myself, please?
No. You aren't thinking rational thoughts.
You wanted to kill Taehyung last night. Let's not compare rationality.
But I didn't. I did what had to be done. Don't act like you wouldn't have done the same if you had the ability to.
Jungkook looks from the turf to his daughter and she's staring back at him. He can say nothing in reply, knowing that she isn't wrong.
