Time Magic

63

Back in the present, everything had changed again. The house had been extended and the furnishings were much more elegant than before. As I looked around, new memories flooded into my mind and I smiled. BTS was reunited, the first step towards salvation had been taken.

"Sophieeeeee..." we heard a loud voice shouting, then she was already lifted up and kissed passionately.

"Tae, let her breathe." Jimin chuckled, who didn't seem the least bit jealous this time, which made Hobi frown.

"What... are you crazy?" Sophie complained, as she was just as clueless as Hobi.

"Why don't you wait until everyone is synchronized with this new timeline?" I grumbled, earning a wry grin from Taehyung, while Jimin smiled apologetically. Telepathically, I called for Seonghwa, who immediately connected his consciousness control with my telepathy and implanted the old and new timeline into everyone's consciousness. Sophie looked at the two boys in front of her in surprise and blushed slightly.

"Do I want to know what's going on?" asked Hobi, who apparently didn't know what was happening even with his new memories, but that was probably also because even he from the current timeline hadn't known.

"No... you don't." Sophie quickly called out before she disappeared in the direction of her room, which hadn't existed in the old timeline.

"So we all live together now?" Hobi asked me, apparently wanting to make sure that the new memories matched my own.

"It seems so..." I replied, standing indecisively in the hallway.

"Do you want to go to your room and cuddle?" he suggested.

"I'm asking for it..." I replied, whereupon he took my hand and pulled me into my room, where he gently pushed me onto my bed and then lay down on top of me, his lips sinking closer and closer to mine, then touching them gently, but before I could respond, we heard a throat clearing.

"What are you doing in my bed?" Jungkook asked, who must have been lying here before us. Startled, Hobi and I moved apart and looked at him in disbelief.

"This is my bed..." I explained, after I had calmed my heartbeat again.

"No, this is my bed and you're kissing my fiancé here." Kookie complained to me.

"Um... Kookie... is this another prank?" I asked, confused, but saw that Jungkook seemed to be getting angry now.

"Hobi is mine alone... you kiss him in my room and to top it all off, you're wearing my clothes... go away from him... no one can have him... I must... must... I must... I... Hobi... mine..." then his eyes rolled inwards and he lost consciousness.

"Jungkook... what... Hobi, get Hongjoong..." I shouted in panic and frantically checked to see if Jungkook was still breathing, which luckily he was. I put his head on my lap and stroked his head soothingly, brushing his sweat-soaked hair away from his forehead, while I was almost in tears, as it reminded me far too much of the scene when future Jungkook died.

"Kookie... wake up... please... I can't lose you..." I sobbed, when Hongjoong ran in. He put one hand on Jungkook's forehead and one on his heart and closed his eyes.

"Don't worry, Y/Nie... he's completely healthy... physically. He seems to have gotten a little confused when Seonghwa manipulated our consciousness." he explained and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"But... he seemed to have mistaken himself for me. How strange... why me?" I wondered, confused.

"It could have been a coincidence." Hongjoong tried to appease me, but I wasn't quite sure if that was really the best explanation.

"I don't think so... I think... I've found the solution." Yuchan explained, standing in the doorway and having watched everything silently.

"Channie... where were you? You went to do some research, then you didn't come back for two days," I said, looking at him poutingly.

"I did research, yes... long and hard, and now I know what we have to do..."
