Chapter Seven - Black

Taeyong's eyes seem to roll into the back of his head as he falls to the ground. Yet he never his the concrete, Jaehyun has stepped forwards, catching him just in time.

The older slower opens his eyes again to reveal that they are normal once more. He looks as though he had just experienced something painful as he winces.

Jaehyun keeps one arm around the older's waist to keep him supported, making sure he doesn't fall.

"What just happened?" Jungwoo asks, confusion covering his features. "His eyes were blacker then the night sky."

The blond haired male doesn't respond at first. Instead he turns to examine Taeyong to see if he's okay.

The older breathes slowly as though he were trying to regain his breath after running a marathon. Jaehyun has never seen anything like this before.

"I think you should visit Lucas for a while" He says softly.

Taeyong turns to look at him, he nods in agreement yet his gaze says otherwise.

Jaehyun takes the older's hand and gently traces a circle on his wrist. A silver chain slowly flickers into view on Taeyong's wrist. The older taps it and just looks at the blond haired male in confusion.

"When that disappears, then you'll know that it's time to come back, okay?" The younger instructs him firmly.

Taeyong tries to take it off but is immediately shocked with a bolt of electricity. He curses as his opposite hand flys backwards.

"What have you done to me?" Taeyong's body speaks but the voice doesn't belong to him. It's much deeper and sounds as though there are several voices talking at once.

"This will immobilise your power. I don't want you coming back to the house before I'm ready. I have a lot of things which I need to figure out first" Jaehyun tried to reason.

He isn't sure as to what has come over the older who grits his teeth as he tries to undo the bracelet once more, being shocked again.

"What's happening?" Jungwoo asks as he slowly moves to stand closer to Jaehyun.

The blond haired male is speechless. He has no answer to the blue haired's question.

That's when he notices that Taeyong's hair is beginning to change its colour. The soft pink is slowly being engulfed with black hair.

Bystanders begin to whisper and take images of the sight which is happening before them. Jungwoo immediately turns his focus to manipulating their minds.

Now all they see is an ordinary street.

"Taeyong?" Jaehyun softly calls the older's name, cautious of the response he will get in return.

The older snaps his gaze to meet the experienced warlock's before he grabs the chain once more. He isn't shocked this time. Instead, the chain glows for a few moments until it breaks.

The older drops the silver chain yet it disintegrates before it has time to land on the ground below.

"How dare you leash me like some kind of dog?!" He yells, his undivided attention now on Jaehyun.

Jaehyun opens his palm, a ball of flames hovers there.
He hopes he won't have to use it. But he doesn't get a chance. Taeyong glares at the flame, distinguishing it instantly.

The younger takes a step back. No one has ever been able to do that with a simple look.

"It's me, Jaehyun. I'm on your side" The blond haired male speaks calmly.

"On my side? Do you tend to chain up all of your companions?" The older spits, bitterly.

Jaehyun makes his next move and he makes it fast. He throws his hand in the direction of the power poles behind them. He drags the hand back in front of him to face Taeyong. The electric cords wrap themselves around the older and hold him tight.

The younger clenches his hand into a fist, starting up the electricity in the cords. Taeyong yells out in pain.

A massive explosion can be heard as he tears himself free from this mess. Jaehyun stands still in his place.

The older goes to attack Jaehyun but is stopped when suddenly a strong gust of wind hits him. Taeyong is sent flying until he collides and destroys several walls from the office building behind him.

Jaehyun turns from looking at Taeyong's location to see Doyoung standing before him, hand still facing where the older has gone.

"I sensed power which was off the charts" The raven haired male explains as he lowers his hand. "He's dangerous."

Jaehyun doesn't say anything.

He doesn't want to admit that Taeyong is dangerous.

He realises this but he wants to give the man a chance. It's obvious that the older doesn't understand his powers. Jaehyun has never said no to a challenge. He will manage to tame Taeyong's powers against the odds.

"J-Jaehyun?" Taeyong calls, his voice is frail.

The blond haired male turns to his left to see the older standing before him. He is holding onto his upper arms as though they will fall off if he lets go. He's trembling like a leaf as the sobs tear through his chest.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt anyone. I don't know what happened. I'm so sorry. I'm so—"

Jaehyun interrupts the older as he pulls him into his warm embrace. He quietly hushes the other as he just holds onto him.

Jungwoo removes his mind foolery from the public and they continue with their ordinary lives. The blue haired man walks to Doyoung's side and the two converse in a tone which is soft enough that Jaehyun doesn't hear.

The blond haired male just focuses on calming Taeyong.
He will read Jungwoo's mind later. Nothing can ever be hidden from him.

"Let's get you to Lucas" Jaehyun states as he pulls away from Taeyong. The older nods, his eyes are puffed up from his tears.

Doyoung and Jungwoo follow Jaehyun as he assists the older in walking to his apartment building. They wait in the street while Taeyong and Jaehyun go inside.

Lucas opens the door immediately. He is shocked as he sees Taeyong standing before him in tears. He looks to Jaehyun and his eyes instantly glaze over with anger.

"What do you do to him?" The younger yells.

Jaehyun taps his forehead which sends him flying backwards until he comes to a stop on the wall. He doesn't fall to the floor as he just stays in place near the roof.

Taeyong grabs Jaehyun's arm and shares a pleading gaze.
"Please don't do this."

Jaehyun ignores him.

"You don't get to speak to me like that. I'm only here to make sure you take care of Taeyong while he is here. We'll be back for him tomorrow."

Lucas glares at the blond haired man but he silently nods a confirmation.

Jaehyun turns to face Taeyong slowly. The older steps forwards and places a kiss to the younger's cheek.

"Thank you."

The blond haired male is quick to mutter a goodbye before leaving the apartment. Lucas falls to the floor as soon as the door closes.

"What are we going to do about him?" Doyoung asks as the Jaehyun walks onto the street.

"We can't do nothing. He was much stronger than you. He could've killed you" Jungwoo sounds genuinely scared.

Jaehyun just sighs, raising his hand to scratch the back of his neck. "There's one person who seems to know what to do."

The blue haired male looks to Doyoung in confusion before looking at Jaehyun once more. "Surely not."

"We must see Yuta" Jaehyun frowns.
