Here's my Masterpiece

Chapter 7

Just a quick note! As I posted the last chapter I realized how short it was, so I'm deciding to update more today! Please enjoy~!

Jungkook lazily pushed the library door open and stepped inside, staring down at the ground. The walk back to the library was lonely. Painfully lonely. His arms felt weak and empty, missing Jimin’s weight. It was only a few minutes before that he had actually held him, the real him. Jungkook planned to sulk back to his room and lay in his empty throughout the night, but he remembered the two others that were present in the library with him. He noticed the two of them discussing things at a table before they noticed Jungkook walk in.

V looked up hopefully. “Any luck?” Jungkook averted his eyes and continued to slowly trudge along. “Hey,” V called, standing from his seat. “What’s up?” Jungkook couldn’t tell if he was concerned or annoyed. Maybe there was no difference.

Jungkook slowly came to a stop and turned his head to V. “I found them while I was looking for leads.” That was all he said. He was debating if he should explain what had all happened.

Suga was standing now too. Jungkook almost didn’t recognize him without his hat; his hair was a light, bright blue. “Who?” It seemed like he already knew the answer to that question because he was getting worked up (and excited?).

“Both J-Hope and Jimin.” Jungkook answered flatly. He glanced down to the floor and didn’t want to look back up.

V was clearly getting worked up as well, but in a different sense. “What happened? Why didn’t you bring Jimin back? What is J-Hope up to?” He had raised his voice and it sounded as if he was beginning to panic. Jungkook let out a slow breath, trying not to let his breathing hitch; he was not going to cry again. Not in front of them.

“I have no idea what J-Hope is planning, but he changed Jimin. Completely changed him.” Jungkook mumbled, still staring down at the floor.

Suga sighed. “Ah, yes. He really has learned a lot.” Jungkook looked up at him, annoyed by his response and he replied to his stare cooly. “Compulsion. It is a spell that can only be used by a vampire; it is likely one of the main reasons J-Hope decided to turn. It seems that J-Hope has put the spell over Jimin, giving him full control of his actions, like a puppet. The downfall to this, however, is that Jimin is conscious of everything his body is doing, he just has no control over it.” Suga shook his head and gave a fond smile. “He really has gone to the dark side.”

“Then how do we undo the spell? There must be some way!” Jungkook responded quickly.

“I don’t know the answer to that, for I am not a vampire.” Suga made a dramatic shrugging gesture. “I suppose the Bitter Sweater might be able to amplify the alleviating spell enough to undo it, but we have to find that first.”

“V, did you find any leads? I don’t know if I can go back out tomorrow and search again.” Jungkook felt an uneasy feeling swirl in his stomach at the thought of witnessing the evil Jimin again.

“Jungkook, why didn’t you try to bring Jimin back here? We could have used him for information and tried to help him.” Jungkook felt a pang at the thought. He could have tried to bring Jimin back, but he really didn’t think he could. Jungkook doubted he could live through keeping Jimin (even an evil one) here against his will. Just the thought made him feel sick.

“Well… The spell I put on him to make him act normal only lasted so long. I- I guess I didn’t think to attempt to bring him back here with his consent or not…” Jungkook shifted side to side slightly as he spoke.

Suga scoffed. “Like J-Hope wouldn’t have come after him. He’s already under his control. The only way to get him back is to get rid of the compulsion.” Jungkook saw V roll his eyes, they had already been over this.

“V, you never answered my question earlier. Did you find anything out from Jin?” Jungkook asked, directing the attention to V.

V shook his head slightly. “He said he is going to look around his house and check his sources. I am hoping he will come up with something.” V said this, but he didn’t took too hopeful.

“We should come up with some sort of plan for tomorrow? Today was a little rough and confusing. How does that sound?” Jungkook inquired.

“Oh!” Suga exclaimed suddenly. “I just remembered!” He turned to Jungkook, a ridiculous smile on his face. “I hope you are tired, you need to get dreaming.” Suga reached up to fluff Jungkook’s hair and he barely made it; he was almost as short as Jimin. “If not, I’m sure we could get you there.”

“Now that you mention it, I am pretty tired. I suppose I’ll go to bed now.” Jungkook nods and starts to head to his room without another word, ready to sulk in his own emotions.

Jungkook struggled to sleep. He rolled around his his bed restlessly. He was tired, very tired, but he could not stop thinking about his encounter with Jimin. He was clearly suffering. And to know that he knew everything that was happening and had no control. Jungkook groaned and turned over in the bed that felt too big to sleep in alone. He squeezed his eyes closed and tried his very hardest to sleep. He couldn’t deal with his own thoughts anymore.
