Episode 17: Tell me, if this pain is fake

PREVIOUSLY ON:                QUIRKS

Jungkook, Taehyung and Jimin get into an unfortunate accident with black eels in a pond that materialised out of nowhere. Seokjin and Hoseok both have fireballs and falling trees trying to crush them. Namjoon and Yoongi are the first to actually get to the mountain.

The First Task isn't being too reasonable for the boys right now.

It was getting close to midday and Yoongi and Namjoon had been walking along the path to the mountain, sort of feeling like it'd take longer to get up there than it was to walk all the way to it. Yoongi, in particular, had a very short attention span and didn't like physical education in general so he wasn't too happy when he realised he had been walking for over two hours now. Namjoon had tried to comment on how Yoongi once walked for 6 hours straight at comic con once, but Yoongi went ahead to say that his attention was diverted to the nerds there and that he was 'in his element.'

If anything, Namjoon should have been the one complaining. But, he didn't find that very helpful; there was no way Yoongi was going to get a good spirit in such circumstances and having two people become whiny wasn't going to do anything good. So Namjoon, like the good leader he was, shut up and beared with the pain in his feet in silence as he heard Yoongi ramble on about the other members of BTS.

"I bet we're the closest people to the mountain! Why can't we just sit out? It's not like either of us want to win this stupid tournament anyway," Yoongi said.

Namjoon rolled his eyes, "want to climb on my back?" he asked. Yoongi looked up at Namjoon and thought for a second, "not getting any older down there," Namjoon joked. Yoongi narrowed his eyes at his taller friend and hit his arm, before climbing up Namjoon and setting himself on Namjoon's back. The older placed his hands under Yoongi's thighs and let the boy place his hands on his shoulder as they started walking up at the mountain. Namjoon simply kept to the road ahead that was up a mountain, making sure he didn't wander off.

"You know, if we do manage to get to the top of this mountain and get out of here, securing a place in the second task, what are we actually going to do about the boys?" Yoongi asked.

Namjoon grunted, feeling the heat of Yoongi's regulating body temperature, warm him up and make him sweat even more. "What do you mean?"

Yoongi shrugged, plopping his glasses atop his head, "all I'm just saying is that I was supposed to take Jungkook and train him but then you made me train Jimin-"

"Because you actually can," Namjoon cut in.

Yoongi rolled his eyes, "I'm getting nowhere with him. He doesn't like researching on stuff about quirks and he hates fighting me cause I always win," Yoongi said.

Namjoon groaned, "why don't you just lose a couple of them, then?"

"Please. Me, lose? Don't flatter anyone, like that'll happen! I've never lost a fight in my life!" Yoongi exclaimed.

"Not until now," a strange, unknown voice said. Yoongi and Namjoon stopped to turn around. There stood the members of the Japanese team, アストロ (Japanese name) 아스트로 (Korean name), Astro. That particular team had won the Tournament maybe one or two times since it was made, but other than that, they hadn't really been known. One of the younger ones, Namjoon recognised as Sanha had talked.

Yoongi got off Namjoon's back and tilted his head, looking at the boy. Sanha was taller than Yoongi but that had never stopped the black haired boy from a fight before. Yoongi took off his glasses and handed them to Namjoon, flickering his fingers as a flame became loose in his hands. Namjoon's eyes widened but then he understood when he saw Yoongi's free hand holding a lighter. With enough fuel for him to start a flame whilst the other team didn't see how he got his power source from.
