Magic: Year One

Chapter 3

The dormitory was freezing when Jungkook awoke, shivering under the duvet. Shaking his head, he checked his watch and quietly got out of his bed, feet softly hitting the floor. He quickly got ready for the day and changed into his uniform. After failing multiple times to tie his now emerald and silver striped tie, Jungkook gave up and walked into the common room.

Only one person was in the common room when he walked in. At first, Jungkook didn't recognize him. He was staring at a smartphone, a soft glow illuminating his face in the dark common room. The light cast a glow that revealed a haphazardly tied tie similar to Jungkook's and dark circles slightly noticable under his eyes.

"Good morning, Jungkook-ah."

Yoongi looked up from his phone and stuffed it in his robe pocket. His hair was now blonde and his eyes were slightly puffy, giving the hint he barely had gotten sleep the night before. Jungkook stood there for a moment and then shook his head.

"Good morning, Yoongi hyung."

Silence filled the room again, Jungkook and Yoongi awkwardly staring at one another.

"Um.. you want to go to breakfast or something?" Jungkook nodded in reply to Yoongi's offer. The older boy stood up and glanced at Jungkook's tie, which now hung around his neck loosely. He walked over and calmly tied it for Jungkook before tightening his own.

"Let's go eat."

Yoongi was silent on the way upstairs to the Entrance Hall, where Jimin and Taehyung were waiting, talking animatedly amongst themselves. Few people were awake at this early of an hour, so Yoongi and Jungkook's final footsteps rang throughout the large room. Jimin immediately turned his head towards the dungeon entrance and smiled, his eyes almost disappearing completely.

"Ah, Yoongi! You've changed your hair color again? It looks great!"

Jimin's voice echoed in the empty room. The attention of the few students in the Entrance Hall were now fixed on Yoongi's platinum blond head. Two pairs of footsteps were heard among the silence.

"Ah, Yoongi, your hair does look great." Jin yelled, his robe flowing behind him as he walked down the staircase. Not far behind him was Namjoon, who was stuffing what seemed to be homework in his bag.

"Thanks, hyung," Yoongi muttered, as the two approached the growing group of boys. "Do you guys know where Hoseok is?"

"He's waiting for all the first years so he can help them around today," Jimin replied. "He said he was going to be a little late to breakfast."

"Classic Hoseok."

Students began filing into the Great Hall shortly after Jungkook had sat across from Yoongi. The two didn't exchange many words, as Yoongi put on his alter ego, Suga.

"Yoongi hyung-"

"Suga. During the day, it's Suga."

Taken aback by his sudden change in attitude, Jungkook became distracted by the midnight blue that swept behind Suga. Jin was standing behind Suga, smiling and holding out two neatly addressed envelopes.
