The Descendants

Chapter Five: Bullies or Bullied

Auradon Daily Headline: During last night, there have been a report about a break in at the Auradon Museum. It was believed to be a small prank between teenagers since it was reported that nothing was stolen. Many believe that the Isle kids were behind this hideous prank. The royal family was still in silence regarding this news.

"I told you so." Taehyung growled, fixing his eyes on the picture of the five new kids on the the TV screen.

"Come on, Tae. It's not even confirmed yet." Seokjin reasoned.

Taehyung came to the King's Palace, intending to talk some sense into Seokjin about his proclamation. They were alone inside Seokjin's Royal Chamber when the news got flashed on TV. Taehyung was against Seokjin's proclamation the most out of their friends. Taehyung had always been afraid of someone in Auradon finding out about his beast form and he thought, what would happen if those villains' kids would find out?

"And even if it's true that they're the ones who broke inside the museum, at least they didn't steal anything. As what the report says, it was just a prank. It's not like someone got hurt." Seokjin added and Taehyung immediately gave him a glare in disbelief.

"Are you hearing yourself now?" Taehyung asked incredulously. "Just the thought of them breaking inside the Museum is already against our law! Just admit it Jin. They're dangerous. They don't fit in here."

"That's exactly why they hate us, you know." Seokjin answered back with his sad tone.

"What?" Taehyung looked confuse.

"Everything about this good versus the villains is all so twisted. I mean we are all the same. We are all human beings and believe it or not Tae, each and everyone of us hides something evil inside us." Seokjin explained.

"Like me, you say?" Taehyung gritted his teeth in anger. "Because i have this Beast inside of me."

"No!" Seokjin exclaimed strongly. "I'm not talking about that Taehyung. All I just want for all of you to understand is that everybody deserve second chances and even the villains could have something good inside of them." Seokjin added and Taehyung just kept silent in response. "All we have to do is give them a chance."

Taehyung couldn't answer back. He knew all too well that Seokjin is right. Just thinking about himself having to live comfortably in Auradon even after knowing that he's a walking timebomb was already considered a second chance for him. The fact that he has this Beast inside of him and he could still be with his family and friends is like a blessing to him.

"Jin!"

The door to Seokjin's chamber suddenly opened, reaveling the newly awaken Jisoo with her disheveled hair and rumpled nighgown. Both boys looked surprised and Taehyung couldn't help but stare at her with his mouth open wide.

"Ya, Kim Jisoo. How many times do I have to remind you to knock before you come inside my room?" Seokjin nagged and went to grab his bathrobe to cover his sister with it. "And you, sweep that look off on your face wil you?" Seokjin then turned towards the bewildered and red faced Taehyung.

"I'm sorry Jin. But I was just worried." Jisoo interrupted. "I heard the news."

"Don't worry about it, Jichu." Seokjin replied, wrapping his arms around his sister.

"But—"

"Just listen to your brother Jisoo." This time, Taehyung exclaimed. "You don't have to worry about your brother. We all know that Jin could totally handle everything and it's not like those new kids from the Isle could ruin Jin's reputation just like that. It would take so much more than that." Taehyung explained to which the sibling looked surprised.
