Episode 19: Look Here, Don't Run Away

PREVIOUSLY ON:                 QUIRKS

Straykids are the first team to get the crystal that transports them back into the stadium, but Seungmin quickly uses his webbing quirk to scatter all the crystals in the air and around the forest before disappearing. The games has a changed from trying to rip each other throats out, to finding a crystal.

Little, innocent, Jungkook finds a crystal he thought was a piece of fruit. Securing him, his team and his neighbouring team to the Second Task.

Jungkook felt his entire body burst into bubbles, but it felt almost calming. Before everything squeezed into a pipe and he couldn't breathe again. The youngest member of BTS opened his eyes and looked around, he had fallen on the ground in the familiar stadium where he started out in the morning. There were cheers running around the entirety of the stadium as he shakily looked up to see giant lights and wide screens streaming his team.

"Jungkook! You did it! You found the crystal, we made it to the Second Task!" Namjoon shouted, a gleaming smile taking over his face as he ran around and congratulated everyone. The younger boy sat up and held his head, feeling bile rise up in his throat, before he swallowed it down again. Taehyung walked over to Jungkook and helped him, the boy slumped himself against the older as he breathed heavily and scrunched up his face in obvious pain.

Taehyung looked down at the boy in worry. Jungkook blushed under his gaze but turned to look around for his subconscious who was shaking its head.

"We won?" Jungkook squeaked, looking up at Taehyung with wide eyes.

"We did," he smiled. "Thanks to you," he grinned. Jungkook looked around at his group, BTS, who were all running around and cheering. Jimin and Yoongi even hugged before they separated and coughed awkwardly. Jungkook took a shaky step forward and wrapped his arms around Jimin's shoulder, the older hugged him tightly and spun the younger around, laughing.

"Oi! Jungkook!" a voice called. Jungkook turned around to see the leader of BSJ, Ren, giving him a wide grin. "You did good kid, you did good." She stood on her tiptoes and patted the top of his head twice before turning around to find her own team members. Jungkook smiled softly and went back to celebrate with his own members.

[Commercial Break]

"Due to the shortcomings of the Task, we've decided to end the tournament with simply 7 schools competing in the Second Task," Mr Baxter explained, much to everyone's distaste. Jungkook could practically see the man's subconscious pull at a worried and slightly panicked aura. But he held his gaze and watched as the man tried to explain how the Task was going to prolong if they didn't stop it.

All the contestants of the Tournament were in the giant changing rooms, looking at the many television screens around the giant room. Some, like BTS, Stray Kids and even Got7 had went to the changing rooms to get back into their main attires. Jungkook was in the middle of tying up his hanbok when he heard Mr Baxter talking about the event that occurred in the Tournament.

Because it was taking too long so many of the teams to find the crystals; he just ended the task. There wasn't much going on anyways, the teams were too busy trying to find the crystals instead of fighting one another. Jungkook didn't understand Mr Baxter and he didn't think he wanted to.

"I can't believe this," a familiar voice said in Thai. Jungkook didn't understand a word of what was being said but luckily for him, Bambam was there to translate it. The Got7 member whispered what the boy said, trying to make sure the boy didn't notice him. "This is all your fault you know that!" Taeyong muttered accusingly. He flexed his pointer finger in the direction of the Stray Kids team leader who simply smirked and shrugged his shoulders in response.
