"What would you get after combining the two separate roots together in gunpowder and a drop of sysillic vine?"

No one raised their hands, preferring to stare blankly at the windows or anywhere else. Like Taehyung. The teacher frowned at the total lack of participation from his students as he slammed his hand harshly down on the new desk he had ordered a few weeks ago, creating a loud bang and surprising a few students who had dozed off.

"Look here you lazy assholes, you may think you're invincible and all just because of your powers, but I assure you; your not. Because when you finally face yourself alone with a monster, with none of your peers to help you, you'll be wishing you paid attention to my class."

A boy from Ferus yawned obnoxiously purposely, angering the teacher further. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and gave a lazy smirk.

"What the hell do I need to learn this healing shit for if I don't get hurt in the first place. And you said so yourself, I'm all alone. Even if I did get hurt, I doubt I'd had time to remember which fucking root to put in to the rest of the potion I don't even have."

Many students nodded in agreement.

Taehyung only ignored the angry debate that went on between the Ferusian boy and the teacher, for his thoughts kept going back to the strange morning he had with Jungkook.

He didn't think it was possible for anyone to resist his an Erosian person's charms. Or even so, definitely not as effortless as Jungkook had done. He had skipped all the classes he usually had with Jungkook, and instead, researching about his own powers in an Erosian textbook that the school supplied. A nowhere did it ever say anything about absolute resistance or immunity to their powers. Needless to say, the more he searched, the more worried he became.

The plan to get rid of Jungkook was spoken too soon without thought. The boy would be furious for sure...or not! If Jungkook was immune to his powers now, then that meant that the boy no longer wanted anything to do with Taehyung anymore. Especially after being used so many times, more often than not. But on the other hand, the boy would probably want revenge if it came to that, and Taehyung knew he was no match for the younger's strength and power.

He sighed as the bell rang and he closed his book, a few people surrounding him already as he made his way towards the door.

-

Jungkook has seen it coming.

Taehyung had not attended any of the classes he had with Jungkook and though he was slightly pissed, he understood. Taehyung wasn't stupid, so of course he figured out about Jungkook's immunity in a matter of short time.

At first, he thought the boy had stayed in his dorm all day long, but one of his dorm members had told him that Taehyung went to the class they both shared.

It was near noon, and school was over as more people gathered to socialize or to go to their after school activities. He wonders where Taehyung is; he wants to see him. And to talk.

Taehyung used him. It was as simple as that. He couldn't deny it. Wouldn't deny it. It hurt him, knowing that he was so attracted to the older boy, loved him even. And Taehyung who Jungkook thought he'd been making progress with had faked all his feelings, his reactions and affection to use him. It felt like an unspeakable pain, and weakness.

Jungkook's face was kept passive as he made his way towards the Erosian dorm rooms. He knocked the main dorm door and an Erosian girl answered.

"Is Taehyung in there?"

She blinked. "No actually. I don't think I've seen him at all since this morning."

He nods and turns around to continue his search.

-

There he was!

Taehyung was crouched next to the wall of the old classroom building that had been abandoned because of the newly upgraded rooms. He seemed to be reading a large book, intently with his eyes as he glared down the textbook. Jungkook immediately smiled a bit at how adorable the older boy looked, but it didn't last.

"You didn't come to any of our classes."

Taehyung flinches so violently, dropping the textbook on the ground with a scratchy thud as he looks up at Jungkook.

Jungkook is reminded of the fox that had been cornered by his fathers hound dogs in the forest near his waste back at home.

Jungkook moves swiftly towards Taehyung and holds both his wrists and pushes him in the walls of the abandoned building, the older boy hissing at the pain of skin being shoved against old aging brick. Jungkook is met with panicked resistance but it doesn't discourage him, nor does it strain his strength.

"Let me go!" Taehyung yells, eyes growing wider with desperation and frustration by the second.

Jungkook grits his teeth and pulls Taehyung by the side of his arms, only to slam him into the brick wall again, this time with painful force.

"Ah!" Taehyung cries out in pain and Jungkook almost feels bad, but at the same time he doesn't. He leans into Taehyung's face, his voice like a sharp silver knife cutting through the other's insides. "You used me!"

It was a declaration and fact. They both knew it. Taehyung, who's with beautiful tears forming at the bottom of his eyes shakes slightly at the vicious tone he was not used to getting from the boy.

Jungkook feels the adrenaline and drowns himself in the moment. "Do you have any fucking idea how I felt when I figured it all out? Huh Tae? Did you even care a little for me? Or was it all a fucking illusion I was forced to see?"

Taehyung frowned, tears dropping from his eyes as he fired back, "Fuck you! You were practically asking to be used, with the way you flaunted your money and power around my face! You knew I was born with many disadvantages in my life, and you used all that to your advantage. Trying to corner me to adore you and swoon over you? You're just mad now that you realized all your efforts were in vain, because no matter what you do, even with all the fucking power in the world, you could never win me over!"

There's a fierce look in his eyes as he flung the hurtful words at Jungkook, all cutting the younger boy's heart deeper and deeper.
