Part 4/?

"There were five of us at one point and we were like a travelling circus, with an array of abilities," Yoongi reminisced. The bittersweet taste of memories flooding back.

Jimin follows in step with the slow pace and listens intently, absorbing everything.

"There was Jin, a time manipulator. He can see the future, travel back to the past, stop time and create a whole other timeless dimension. Then Namjoon, a legitimate genius. He has telepathic abilities and will not hesitate to fuck around with your brain."

Jimin chuckled at the aggression, "You don't seem too fond of him."

"Nope, not at all," Yoongi said, shaking his head before continuing with his story. "There was Jungkook, a hot-headed schmuck that loves to test my patience. He can change his atomic state and basically walk through walls. Also, don't touch his bare skin because he absorbs energy and it can be fatal. Lastly, there was Taehyung," Yoongi sighs.

This time, Jimin noticed that the tone of his voice softened. Almost as if it hurts, even more, to think about this Taehyung.

"He's mental," Yoongi chuckled. "He's telepathic like Namjoon but on a whole other scale. Not to mention the telekinesis he has, levitating himself and manipulating elements. But sometimes these things overpower him and can be very dangerous if he can't control it. Namjoon says he's the strongest out of all us."

"Mmm, in the matter of speed, I doubt he'd be able to beat me," Jimin retorted jokingly.

Yoongi scoffs silently at the naive boy. If only he knew that Taehyung would be able to disintegrate him before he could even make a run for it. Up to this day, Yoongi still spared time to think about that boy. During his days with the group, he was close to Taehyung. It was admiration that lingered in Yoongi whenever he thought about him.

"So how'd you guys meet?" Jimin asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

Yoongi thought about it for a while but can't seem to remember. He'd done his best to bury whatever memories he had of them that all of it seems to have dissipated. He shrugs, "It's been too long to remember."

Jimin hummed in response as his eyes drifted down to his shoes. Yoongi glances over to the boy and sees that he was in deep concentration. He shakes his head absentmindedly and questioned himself, why was he suddenly open to receive a companion when he'd been fine being alone for decades? Then the sound of Namjoon's voice drifted in.

-We all have a connection, thanks to the symbol imprinted on our wrists. It's like a magnet, pulling us all together and it can't be helped. We're bound to come together at some point in time. Just wait and see.-

Yoongi swatted away his droning voice and turned his attention back to Jimin, who was babbling away.

"Do you know why we're like this?" he asked, his face etched with uncertainty as if it's been on his mind forever. "Why are we so special that we're granted with this luck to be immortal?"

In fact, he does know the reason why. Only, he chose not to believe in it anymore.

"Well," Yoongi starts off with a heavy sigh. "Years back, when the five of us were still new, Jin had a vision. He saw seven men with Godly features, ruling over the world; they were feared, loved, worshipped and respected by the mortal humans. We didn't know what to make of it until Namjoon picked in Jin's brain and saw the vision for himself. It sparked a thought in him and soon he was off researching about mythical gods.

Then one day, it clicked, He told us that it had to do with the imprints on our wrists. It was a symbol used to represent the planet Neptune and the planet itself had its own history. The legend of Neptune narrates that when the universe was created, the planet gave birth to a King and his six disciples, knighting them as Gods of the universe. They were placed with the duty to nurture the world.

Until one day, the seven of them did a sinful act. They were so arrogant with their powers that they created a planet along with mortals to bow down to them. The universe was angered as they have abused their powers to manipulate the lesser beings. And so the seven gods were banished down to the planet they created. Their souls are trapped in the mortal form with only a smidge of their former abilities.

It was a punishment that can only be mended when the seven of them come together as a whole. And that will only happen when each of them has learnt to value the lives of the mortals. Once reunited, the seven Gods will once again rule the universe."

Yoongi ended the story with a deflated ta-da gesture. Now that he told the story out loud, it sounded even more ridiculous to him. A bunch of nonsensical bullshit.

A big gasp echoes in the night. "You mean to say, that I'm a fucking God?" Jimin exclaimed with his jaws wide open. "That in the future, I'm going to rule the entire world?! Holy shit!"

"Only if you believe in it kid," Yoongi pointed out
