Not What He Seems

Chapter 8

"Very well. When I looked out the window I saw these children. Though, there was something off about them. They looked evil. They had pitched black eyes, twisted smiles, with very sharp teeth. Everyone ran inside out of fear of them. Everyone, except Jungkook. Jungkook had faced them with very little fear. One came after him. But he..." she hesitated. Like it was something terrible.

"What did he do?" Taehyung pleaded.

"I'm going to sound absolutely crazy." She laughed with no humor.

"I'll believe you." Taehyung assured.

"Alright, I saw him fly up into the air. He did not land. Instead he picked up a metal bar. It was supposed to be removed long ago. But, never had. The strange this, it moved on its own. With Jungkook's hand pointing toward it. Like he was guiding it until it pierced through one of them. The kid did not fall, only disappeared. Jungkook went on and on until they were all gone. Not dead, just disappeared. I don't know where they went. They were never seen at school again after that day. Then, Jungkook had walked into the classroom like nothing had happened." The teacher explained with something crazy in her eyes. It was like the whole thing had simply driven her to insanity. Even if it was only a little.

"Thank you. I know who I need to talk to next." Taehyung grinned as he exited the classroom.

He made his way home and went straight to Namjoon.

"Joonie! You have a lot to explain!" Taehyung called out to him. Namjoon looked up from his phone. Raising one eyebrow as he rose from the couch.

"I do?" He questioned.

"Yes, you do! About Jungkook!" Taehyung exclaimed.

"Oh, he told me about this. Alright, sit down. There's a lot you need to know. If you're really making the decision to date him or not. You need to know this." Namjoon sighed.

He couldn't believe he was about to tell his little brother everything. Not just about Jungkook, but this was also about Taehyung. Taehyung's past and home. The worst part was he didn't even know it. Jungkook couldn't tell him, he didn't know either.

"Alright, Jungkook is not human. He is from the planet known as Jeontae. It translates to love. While his rival planet, known as the Hati's translates to hate. The Hati's have hated his kind for as long as anyone can remember. No reason, only because they represented love and kindness. So, when you kissed him. You alerted the Hati's right to him. They want to kill him. He's been trying to protect you for years. Not push you away. Every kid, adult, or teen you see with pitch black eyes. You alert Jungkook and you run. He can take them, you can't. Jungkook has many powers and his eyes turn red when he uses them. He talks to Chase through his mind using that necklace. Chase is also from his planet." Namjoon explained as much as he could.

"But, why is he here in the first place?" Taehyung questioned.

"The Hati's blew up his planet. He tried to go back, roughly a year ago. There was nothing left." Namjoon sighed.

"Oh my gosh. He lost everything. " Taehyung then realized something.

"Wait, so Jimin isn't his real brother?" Namjoon only shook his head.

"They're not...umm.. dating, are they?" Taehyung hesitated. Waiting for the answer, until Namjoon started laughing.

"No, of course not! They still view each other as brothers and that's all they'll ever see each other as. No need to get jealous." Namjoon chuckled.

"Well I can't be possessive. He isn't mine. I actually forgot I learned he and Jimin aren't brothers already. I just didn't know if they were dating in spite of that." Taehyung rubbed his neck in embarrassment.

"Wow, Tae." Namjoon laughed.

"I should go talk to Jimin and Jungkook." Taehyung said.

"I'll drive you." Namjoon volunteered.

"Thank you." Taehyunh grinned.

'i hope you keep that grin. If you ever find out the truth . I hope you don't resent me. I can't loose my brother .' Namjoon sighed as he followed after his little brother .

Namjoon drove Taehyung to the Park household. He didn't come in with him. Only said bye and left. Taehyung walked up to the door and knocked on it.

A few seconds later, Jungkook opened the door. The exact person Taehyung wanted to see. He said nothing , only lunging forward , wrapping the younger in his arms. Squeezing him tightly as he didn't want to let go anytime soon.

"What's wrong Tae?" Jungkook worriedly asked.

Jungkook realized Taehyung wasn't going to let go. So, he picked him up. Taehyung wrapped his legs around Jungkook's waist. Then, Jungkook carried them to the couch. Sitting down with Tae now in his lap.

"I am so sorry." Taehyung whimpered.

"What could you possibly be sorry for? You did nothing wrong." Jungkook chuckled. He was rather confused.

"I know I didn't. I'm not apologizing because I did something wrong. I'm apologizing because I can't imagine what it was like. To loose you're entire planet and being forced to come here. I am so sorry you had to go through that". Taehyung tightened his hug.

"You really care that much?" Jungkook questioned in slight surprise. Taehyung finally leaned back to look at the blacked haired male.

"This time, please listen up. I don't like repeating myself. You also need to know this." Taehyung had a stern and serious look on his face. Jungkook nodded his head in answer.

"I think I love you. I do know that I don't like seeing you in pain. Of course I care! I was devastated when I heard what happened to you. I couldn't believe how much you went through ! No one should have to go through that, ever. Yet, you did. I am so sorry. If I could, I would share the pain with you."

Little did they know, Jimin had been listening to their conversation. He watched as his little brother rubbed Taehyung's back.

'Little do you know, Taehyung. You do share his pain. If only you could remember it. Maybe you could battle it together. ' Jimin was just about to go and spill it. When something was holding him back. A bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

'I'm sorry. You're going to have to figure it out for yourselves. Maybe you'll take the news a bit better that way. Jungkook, please don't hate me. Taehyung, please don't hate Namjoon.' Jimin sighed as he went to his room.
