the genie «yoonmin»

76

Yoongi felt as if he had extremely hot water spilled all over his body, leading to certainly not nice but painful and long-lasting wounds and burns. His eyelids fluttered and soon he was looking around a poorly lit room. The only light was coming from a few torches in the four corners of the room and the missing circle part in the roof from where around the half of the sun eclipse could be seen. On a pedestal under the hole Jimin's lamp was reflecting gently the lights all around it, some of the glints making Yoongi close his eyes in annoyance.

He tried moving his hands and the disappointment of realizing that he was actually tied certainly wasn't little. He looked at both his sides to find Hoseok and Jungkook on both his sides, the others missing. They were both still asleep, probably because of the sleepy gas Jooheon had used on them once Jimin and Taehyung were gone. There was a hooded figure near the pedestal which was mumbling foreign words under its breath, eyes glued to the lamp as if it was more valuable than any treasure.

"W-who..?" Yoongi tried talking. However, his voice came out weak and huskier than usual. It was as if he hadn't drunk water for a really long time leaving his throat dry and unused to the experience of talking.

The figure stopped mumbling and turned around to face the prince. It had a white mask on with only two holes for its eyes and nothing else. Yoongi couldn't see it but he surely felt as if the figure had smirked at him and was utterly enjoying seeing him in this vulnerable state. It clicked its fingers and a young woman in scruffy clothes appeared. She was holding a heavy object filled with water while her feet were chained and dragging painfully on the ground. She kneeled right in front of Yoongi and made him drink, despite his unwillingness.

It took Yoongi more time than expected to recognize the girl in front of him who was now a lot skinnier with a face if despair and glassy eyes, bruises all over her young face.

"L... Lisa..?" Yoongi stared in disbelief at the younger who just returned his eyes with a quick and blank glance.

"Help me... Brother..." She whispered as she headed for the direction she had came from. The last word was pronounced with hesitation as if she was afraid Yoongi would get mad for being called what he really was to her - her brother.

"What did you do to her!?" Yoongi shouted bow that his voice was a bit better and he wasn't feeling the unpleasant dry taste in his mouth. "She's a princess who does not deserve such treatment!"

"I don't care, Min Yoongi." The man's deep voice shocked Yoongi as he wasn't exactly expecting any kind of response yet. "How about you care more about yourself and your friends right now, huh?" The man said in a calm voice as he trudged up to Yoongi.

Only now did the black haired male notice that the figure was holding a heavy wooden scepter with a purple stone on top in his tight arm. Upon reaching Yoongi who was staring up at him, the man swang his scepter a couple of times hotting the other two males, waking them up with a fair amount of coughing and blood, staining the floor in front of them in a vibrant red color.

"Jungkook! Hoseok!!" Yoongi starting tugging on the rope trying to untie his hands and help the other two but his tries were unsuccessful. "What are you doing, bastard!?"

"Exactly what I've been planning to for more than enough time." The man sighed contented as he watched in admiration the solar eclipse move and slowly adjust in the circle.

"W-who!?" Jungkook glared, his hands secretly searching for Tae's lamp on his belt but not finding it.

"Don't waste your time. The genie's lamp is there." He pointed at a tall table in the distance with a silver lamp on top. "He's not in a state to help anyways... Taehyung is a scaredy cat." The man sighed as he played with the hem of his robe.

"Ok then, Mr. I don't even care who can I just kill you, when will you kindly introduce yourself?" Yoongi smiled fakely as if mocking the man.

The man released an annoyed sigh and then rolled his eyes. "Maybe you will care more about your mage friends rather than your genies and shut the fuck up before someone gets hurt, huh?" The mocking tone in the man's voice was prominent and even though Yoongi was confused at first, the curtains which felt from behind the man made him realize what was happening.

Right behind the curtains on ropes Namjoon and Kihyun were hanging upside down still unconscious and somewhere between the two there was an empty hourglass inside which Jin was sleeping, unaware of the danger they were all in.

"So... How about it?" A bitter chuckle was heardbfrom behind the mask and Yoongi could only huff in response.

"Release them, you, sick bastard!" Yoongi scolwed but the man only laughed in response.

"Then how about you get your genie friends out here and let me have some fun before it's all over, huh? Who knows... Someone may remember me." The man laughed and Yoongi could see with from the side the way Hoseok shivered at his voice and how his breathing was becoming heavier. Jungkook, on the other hand, looked angrier than ever and ready to break or tear whatever was holding him back from throwing himself at the masked man.

"How about you release me then, huh!?" Jungkook mocked the man by saying 'huh' and kept on tugging desperately on the rope restricting his movements.

"Jooheon!" The man suddenly shouted and a familiar to the three spirit appeared from nothing as if he was just invisible but there the whole time. "Release the boy... I'm going to have fun." The man giggled like some wicked old man what he actually was and waited for Jooheon to do what he was told despite his obvious insecurance.

"Hello again, asshole!" Jungkook cheered, sarcasm in every one of his words while Jooheon just stared at him emptily with no feelings at all.

Jimin, don't you dare show up. Yoongi mentality ordered even though he knew it was impossible for the genie to hear him. Yet, he hoped that somehow Jimin will avoid showing and protect himself even if Yoongi knew more than well that it was impossible...
