JUNG  HOSEOK

The last thing Hoseok wanted to do, was to force Yoongi into something. Yoongi had grown on him after all the years. It just became a habit of his. Looking after the younger through out all the stages of his life.

He developed feelings through all that time. He wanted to protect Yoongi from everything else, other then himself. But he slowly started to lose insight of his real reasons for being there in the first place.

Hoseok watched as the older boy dropped to the ground. It made his heart drop right along with him.

"Oh Yoongi.." Hoseok lightly said, almost cooing down at him,"If only you could understand me." He crouched down, reaching out to touch the pale faded mint green hair Yoongi wore.

"Don't touch him."

Hoseok knew someone else had been watching. He wanted to be seen. He wanted to feel the pleasure of ruining someone just once, again. If he couldn't hurt Yoongi, he'd have to hurt someone else. Physically or mentally, he'd do it.

Hoseok let out a deep chuckle, moving his hand away from Yoongi before he could touch him,"Or what?" He teased, eyeing the light haired boy only a few feet away.

"Leave him alone." Taehyung practically growled out.

"You're all talk, you know?" Hoseok rose from his crouch,"I've heard you, throwing shade and all. I don't think you understand what emotional pain you bring my dear Yoongi."

"YOUR dear Yoongi?" Taehyung ran at Hoseok, ready to throw a punch but Hoseok merely moved out of the way. They traded places, Taehyung now looming over Yoongi's unconscious body.

Hoseok shook his head slowly, a smirk starting to crawl onto his face,"You must know what I am, right? So why are you even bothering."

Hoseok watched at his words stung Taehyung until his hands closed into fists. His knuckles turned white and his face was stern,"I won't let you use him to restore your sins. How could you even think about just turning him in like-"

"It's for his own good!" Hoseok suddenly yelled,"I'm sick and tired of hearing the endless screaming and crying from all those lifeless floating souls! I need my life back."

"You're dead, Hoseok. Bringing back the dead isn't like your imagining it to be."

Something snapped deep down inside him. His face twisted into hatred and he narrowed his eyes at Taehyung,"I'm taking Yoongi with me. Now get out of way." Hoseok lashed out at him in an effort to move the boy farther away but Taehyung stood his ground, barely even flinching when Hoseok's hand connected against his cheek.

Hoseok was furious by then, staring down on him with rage. He hated that his efforts were never enough. First it was Jin, and now Taehyung. Always ruining and messing up his plans before they even could be initiated.

"Why can't I just have my way just once!?" Hoseok screamed,"I'm tired of being rejected and thrown away!"

"Is that why you killed them all?" Taehyung pressed further, seeing that Hoseok's emotional fit could get him more answers.

"Killed them?" Hoseok smiled and scoffed,"You really think I had a choice? I had nothing. And they stood there and watched me ruin myself." Hoseok stared down Taehyung intensely, his voice getting more low,"They deserved it."

A cloud had passed over, hiding away the sunlight even more then the trees had done. It shaded over the boys, leaving them in a dim darkness. The silence that followed was just as deadly as the glare Hoseok wore.

"Parents are parents." Taehyung finally said,"My father... he.. he's not the best. But would I have the thought of killing him? Never in a million years."

"I don't need your reasoning. They're gone now, so why does it matter?" Hoseok snapped at him,"All I need is Yoongi. So I'll say it one last time. Move."

"Over. My. Dead. Body." Taehyung taunted him with each word that slipped past his lips.

Despite being psychic, he had no idea what the outcome would be if he continued to reject Hoseok's efforts to take Yoongi away from him but even though he wasn't very fond of Yoongi to begin with, he couldn't just let a ghost with murderous intentions take him away.

Hoseok started to chuckle,"Alright alright. But just know this one thing, Kim Taehyung. I'll move you straight to the top of my list. Seokjin can wait I suppose." He stood there for awhile, his eyes lingering over Yoongi's silent body. He remind him of his parents. How they laid there on the floor, still and motionless. His timing was off once again. He never could get it right.

He gave Taehyung one last glance to see if he still stood his ground and for a split second he thought maybe he could spot an opening but regardless, his plans could be ruined. He hated waiting, but he had no choice. He wanted Yoongi to be happy and killing off one of his friends wouldn't exactly get on his good side even if that part was ruined too. Waiting was all he could do.

Hoseok made himself fade away out of Taehyung's sight. Taehyung couldn't see him anymore but Hoseok could sure see him still.

Phantoms are special. Not real yet they'll appear just as reality shows them. Just like a regular human being. But it's all a lie. It's just a twisted vision. A mind trick. As much as Hoseok wanted to be real, he's not. He can't actually touch anyone, it's just an illusion. And a very childish one at that. He can't actually kill anyone at his own hand either. That's just a bluff. But he can sure in hell make you feel crazy enough to kill your own self. With time comes patience.

But he's running out of patience.
