While all of us were covered with the same bewilderment and shock in both events that happened: Hoseok easily reading the book and discovering our sixth brother was a demon, we fell silent. It was all very surprising. The mere thought of Taehyung having long, dark wings already felt like a bomb. Then, all of this peculiar events followed. However, it wasn't him who's the issue but this whole clandestine situation.

"Come on now! Lunch is ready!" Jin broke the overwhelming silence.

"We'll deal you with you Hobi after Taehyung. This is getting weirder and creepier. " Namjoon said before picking himself up and headed to the dining hall.

Hoseok didn't utter a word and just swallowed. Hushed, we all stood up and followed Namjoon. The intoxicating smell started to linger around the hall as we get nearer and basing to the familiarity of it, I exactly knew the delicacy. Korean Budae Jjigae.

Job well done, Momma Jin... I secretly snickered.

When we arrived there, we found Taehyung, Jimin, and Jin already sitting on their seats while patiently waiting for us.

"We figured it out." Namjoon enunciated, grabbing the chair and sat on it. "Hobi-hyung read the books and there we discovered Taehyung is a demon."

Taehyung froze. His cheerful face with eyes sparkling in pure effervescence swiftly turned into blank, emotionless, and dark expression.

"I think, I'm full. 잘먹겠습니다 (Thanks for the food)." He said before he stood up ran away.

"Tae—" Jimin was about to stop him when Namjoon spoke.

"Just let him be. It must be just too much for him to take it in." He explained.

Sighing, I nodded agreeingly. We began savouring the food while it's still hot. It was tasty and delicious, clearly the eldest outdone himself again. If this was a competition, I would already assume that Jin would win against all competitors. That wasn't a lie. It's a fact.

However, our comfortable silent atmosphere broke when Jungkook talked.

"Hobi-hyung, did you read a lot of books before? Like the books that has different languages and calligraphy?" He questioned. Curiosity was evident in the way he looked at Hoseok.

He trailed his eyes upon us who's staring at him with the same eccentricity. Nervous, he nodded. "Y-Yes? W-Why? Can't I read now?" He stuttered.

I knitted my eyebrows. "Yes, you can. But what you did earlier, opening books and reading what seemed to be demonic words were considerably a bizarre phenomenon. So, care to explain?"

He swallowed. "U-Uhm.. I-I don't know?"

"You also snuck into the library, didn't you?"

"No, I did not." His eyes avoided mine, vividly showing signs that he was lying. And I knew he was lying.

"I saw you."

"No? Maybe it's a ghost."

"No, I'm sure it was you—"

"Fine! Yes! Happy?" Hoseok surrendered. I smiled victoriously. "I also enjoyed reading, it's not just you okay? And if you're wondering how could I read such foreign language, well I also don't know. It just happens that the words are already familiar and I can read and understand it."

Jungkook hummed. "Is it possible that Hobi hyung is a demon too. It wasn't just any foreign book but a demonic one."

"Okay, that is not what I expect you to say." Hoseok remarked, anxiously laughing on his seat.
