Fallen

"HELP MARK PLEASE," Jackson said as he came into view rushing to the circle and placing Mark's lifeless body in the middle of it. Everyone rushed to them to check the situation. "What the hell happened?" Jinyoung quizzed. "I'll explain everything later, for now, please, save him," Jackson said pleadingly to Jisung. The younger nodded and gather those who are available for the ritual. One by one they took their position on the circle once again with Hyunjin taking Felix's post while Jinyoung took Seungmin's. Jeongin wanted to take Seungmin's place but the others said that the ritual took too much toll on everyone involve and they don't want to risk the maknae's well-being. Once in position Jisung started the ritual again.

Meanwhile, a shirtless Jackson was pulled out of the room by YugBam and Jaebum. "What the heck happened? How are you alive? The ritual was not finished." Jaebum bombarded Jackson. "I'm a fallen," Jackson said. "A fallen?" Jaebum and the youngers chimed. "A Fallen Angel," Jackson said as luminous bluish white wings sprout from his back. "I messed up big time, I thought I could save him alone," Jackson continued pacing back and forth. "Tell us what happened?" JB said. Jackson seated on one of the couch and sighed. "I woke up about 45 minutes ago as a fallen angel, and immediately went to Youngjae's hideout," he began.

"I have to hurry, I need to save him ASAP before it's too late," Jackson said as he ran out of the building. Once out he looked around the place and sighed. "Why can't these kids choose a more convenient hideout," he complained. "So how do I do this," he continued rubbing his hands together jumping up as if trying to fly. He tried this a couple of times when he suddenly floats higher and hovers for a while until he fell back down with his butt hitting solid ground. "Aw," he said as he stood up and rubbed his butt. "Aish, seriously how do you use these wings," Jackson complained, just then his shirt started to rip and he felt like something escaped from his back. He touched his back and felt something soft like feathers. A smile spread across his lips as he suddenly jumps and flew away. He arrived at Youngjae's hideout about 15 minutes after his departure from their own and immediately hid his wings. Youngjae's hideout is an old cabin located on some deserted island. The place was quiet with no guards on sight. He quietly entered the cabin and saw Mark sprawled on the floor. He ran quietly to his side and shook him softly. "Mark," he whispered as he continued to shake him lightly. Mark slowly opened his eyes and let it roam around the room until it focuses on Jackson. "Gaga?" he weakly said. "Yes baby it's me," Jackson replied as he helps Mark sit up and pulled him in a hug. When Jackson breaks the hug Mark slowly raised his hands to caress Jackson's cheeks. "You're here, you're real," he said starting to tear up. "Thank you for coming back for me," he continued and then a loud gunshot followed by Mark's limp body falling lifeless on Jackson's arms. He looked for the source of the gunshot and saw a slowly disintegrating Youngjae by the doorway. "If I can't be happy, so can't you," was the last words Youngjae's clone said before totally disappearing. "Stay with my Mark," was the last thing he said before he carried Mark's body out of the cabin and flew back to their hideout. 

Everyone was silent when Jackson finished his story. They all knew why Youngjae disappeared, he too was a clone and the real Youngjae had died. They were brought out of their stupor when Jeongin suddenly entered the room. "Hyung we have a problem," the younger said. Everyone followed Jeongin back to the room where Mark is being revived. "It's been a while since the ritual started but nothing has changed," the maknae said. Everyone looked at Marks body but it's still lifeless with no sign that the ritual is working. "Are they trying hard enough?" Jackson said exasperatedly. "They're doing everything they can but it won't work, Mark hyung has chosen to rest," Felix's deep voice said as he entered the room clinging onto Seungmin's shoulders. "Jeongin wake them up from the trance, we need to talk to everyone," Seungmin said. As commanded, Jeongin started to walk towards the circle but was blocked by Jackson. "I won't let you interrupt, Mark won't leave me, he will come back to me," he said starting to cry.

"I'm sorry hyung but there's nothing more we can do," Jeongin said placing his hands on Jackson's shoulders. Immediately Jackson felt sleepy and fallen unconscious on the floor. He woke up after a few minutes and found that he was now lying on the couch as the others huddled around on the floor. "What happened?" he asked. "Good you're back," Jinyoung said. "Seungmin and Felix have something important to tell us," Chan said. Jackson nodded and laid back down feeling weak as he listened. "You all know that Seungmin and I went to the farplane earlier today," Felix started. "The reason why I was lost there was that I was summoned," he continued. "I met Youngjae hyung in the farplane, and he has a message to all of you," referring to Jaebum and his friends. "He said that his clone has caused to much trouble for all of you, he was really sorry and said that he never meant to harm anyone, his clones mind was twisted by his father, having only fed with bad memories, he despised Jackson and Mark the moment he woke up. He said he will make things right and wants to thank everyone who had been part of his life." Everyone was silent when Felix relayed this to the group while soft sobs can be heard from both Jaebum and Jackson. Even though his clone has been bad to them, deep inside they both loved the real Youngjae.
