Before The Storm (BTS Fanfic)

Three is better than two, I guess

Taehyung walked along the trees with Jin, sighing as the elder  combed his hair with his fingers every so often.

"No one is here to look at you, hyung" Taehyung muttered as he stepped over a root. 

"I prefer to die looking decent" Jin stated matter-of-factly, "You never know"

"Even if a chunk of you arm is cut off, you can grow another one. I don't see the fuss" Taehyung shot back. "The one who should be worried about looking decent is me."

Jin let out a sigh. "Now that we moved from the lake, where should we go. If you haven't noticed, we have no map"

"I have noticed for the past few years I have traveled with you" Taehyung replied and groaned as he realized the earth getting steeper. "I think its a hill"

Jin shouldered his bag and pushed himself forward, groaning. "I need food"

"You always need food" Taehyung muttered under his breath. "Exactly why I get the smaller portion of food whenever we get some. This hyung-"

He stopped as he reached the top of the hill. The moment he arrived, his eyes fixed on a deer that stared back at him keenly. With a growling stomach, Taehyung teleported and lunged at the deer, pinning it down with his body weight. It gave out a startled cry.

"HYUNG!!! I GOT US LUNCH!!!"

Jin finally arrived and found himself staring at Taehyung who was struggling to keep the deer under him.

"Taehyung, I have no intention of eating a deer." Jin clarified and Taheyung stood up in disappointment. 

"You said you were hungry" Taehyung defended. "And you're not exactly a vegetarian"

"At least I have empathy" Jin shot back. "The deer must have a family or something."

"Lucky" Taehyung muttered as they continued to walk. Suddenly, Jin stopped halfway, tilting his head to one side.

"That's weird" Jin said softly. "No...it couldn't be"

Taehyung stared at his hyung. "'sup?"

"I smell human blood" Jin whispered. "Like, other than us."

Taehyung looked around in confusion. "No way"

He teleported up onto a tree and scanned his surroundings. His eyes landed on a figure standing up on a tree a few meters away from them.

"He's there, hyung! I'll get him!"

Teleporting on branches was dangerous, even for someone as experienced as Taehyung. He ended up teleporting short distances at a time, though he was sure he could easily catch up. Th only thing slowing him down was the peculiar way the trees were acting.

They swayed back and forth, lashing at him with their branches as he tries to teleport as far and as accurate as possible. Taehyung was determined to catch whoever that tree-leaping was. The moment he caught sight of him, he teleported at a place he estimated the boy would be in a split second.

He landed on the boys back, sending them falling off the branch from the momentum. Taehyung teleported them to the ground safely, both of them feeling breathless.

"C-caught you" Taehyung gasped.  The boy struggled in his arms. "Hey, look at me. I'm a normal person. Look at me!"

The boy turned around and looked at Taehyung before a look of confusion passed over his face. He pointed at Taehyung. 

"Who I am?" Taheyung asked. "I'm Taehyung, Kim Taehyung. I...I can teleport, and I guess you have powers too"

The boy crawled out of his grasp and looked around. He found a stick and drew in the soil.

Park Jimin

"You're name is Park Jimin?" Taehyung asked. Jimin nodded, raking a hand through his hair. "You...can't talk"

The boy pointed at himself, then at the side of his head, then made a cross with his hands.

"You don't remember?" Taehyung guessed and the boy nodded. "I have a hyung waiting for me over there. You want to join us? I mean, three is better than two, I guess."

Jimin seemed to have an internal debate with himself before he nodded and took Taehyungs hand. Taehyung teleported himself and Jimin to Jin who was looking around frantically.

"There you are!" he cried out and hugged Taehyung. "I was worried you'd be hurt."

Taehyung smirked. Jin turned his gaze towards Jimin.

'Who's this?"

"He says his name is Park Jimin. I'm guessing he has powers by the way the trees acted just now" Taehyung replied. "He can't talk, can't remember how to"

Jin smiled and took Jimin's hand. "I'm Kim Seokjin, but I'm usually called Jin. I can manipulate blood, so if you have any scars, I can heal them"

Jimin lifted his pants to portray a hastily bandaged leg. Jin carefully unwrapped it to reveal a bloody hole that looked purple around the edges.

"It's infected!" Jin exclaimed. "How long have you had this?"

Jimin lifted one finger.

"A day?" Taehyung asked. Jimin shook his head.

"A week?" Jin asked and Jimin nodded. Jin instantly set to work as Jimin gritted his teeth as his cells knitted together. Taehyung crouched beside him, looking at it intently.

"I guess its not just TaeJin, now" Taehyung said. '"It's TaeJinMin"
