"Namjoon, hey. Are you busy?" Jimin asks softly as he knocks on Namjoon's door, biting his lip out of nervousness while waiting for an answer. There's a small sigh from behind the door before Namjoon calls for Jimin to come in quickly. "Hi, uh, so we have a couple of serious problems." Jimin mumbles straight away, sweeping his hair back as he looks at the older man behind the desk in front of him.
"Can't ever have five minutes, can I? What is it this time?" Namjoon groans softly as he closes the book he was reading and leans forward with his arms crossed. Jimin sucks in some breath through his teeth before glancing back at the door and sighing.
"Well, Y/N is pregnant with a baby girl which'll be coming in two days, more or less, and she also told me that Taehyung is talking to himself again." Jimin replies in one breath, wincing slightly as he watches Namjoon's face completely drop . Namjoon sits straight in his chair, utter silence running around the two before he rubs his face and sighs deeply once again.
"Y/N, we can deal with, I suppose. But Taehyung is another matter- he's talking to himself? Just like when he first got the wings?" Namjoon asks slowly, just to be sure of the matte. Jimin nods quickly before moving towards the desk and placing his hands flat on it, leaning down towards Namjoon.
"I know what it is, and it's bad. There's really only one thing- no, two- that can stop it, but both are extremely bad." Jimin explains quickly with a hushed voice, weary of anyone over-hearing the conversation from the outside. Namjoon sits back in his chair, thoughtfully and brushes his hair back a little before giving Jimin a nod to continue. "We either have to let him go for a fly to free his wings for a while, because cutting them off didn't work, which is dangerous, or we have to let him kill someone." Jimin explains slowly, staring down at the desk as he did so.
"But last time Taehyung went for a fly, he-"
"Made us cut off his wings, yeah. That's because when we fly, we are allowing our other-self to take control, which can either minimize or make the voices worse." Jimin cuts in, rubbing his face out of frustration. Namjoon bites his lip and nods, understanding what he meant.
"Which is why he would have to kill someone. I suppose the voices tell you bad things?" Namjoon asks slowly, trying to process exactly what to do with Taehyung. Jimin nods instantly, a dark expression dawning on his face.
"Extremely bad things, and in his case right now, they'll probably be telling him that Y/N's baby can't live. That's really strange though because all of these things should have stopped when he finally, you know, with Y/N because it meant their bond was complete, but for some reason-"
"The bond isn't enough to keep him safe from his other self."
"That's right, which means he is too powerful, and there's only one way I can think to make sure he does't get corrupted." Jimin replies quickly, his heart sinking lower and lower with each word. Namjoon notices Jimin's dark expression and holds his breath, waiting for an explanation. "We have to try and kill him so the demon leaves him."

"Taehyung, you are in danger here."
"No, I'm not. Why would I be in danger?" Taehyung hisses as he paces his room, flicking his head to the side every now and then with a glare as he allowed his freed wings to drag on the floor. His lights were off and the door was tightly locked, ensuring that no one could get in to his room. There's a deep, mysterious chuckle that causes Taehyun to pause on the spot and glance quickly around the room.
"Come here."
"Why?" Taehyung growls as he slowly moves over to his mirror, moving towards where the voice commanded him. As he sees himself in the mirror, he gasps and looks away instantly. "What the fuck is that?" He hisses as he slowly looks back up into the mirror, staring straight into the green eyes that looked back at him. Taehyung moved slightly, and the creature in the mirror moved with him, its entirely black body copying his every movement. He examined the large horns protruding from it's black head and the way the huge wings spread out proudly behind it, before lifing his hand to feel his own head and finding nothing.
"That. Is. Us." The shadow in the mirror speaks slowly.
"That isn't me. I-I don't look like that." Taehyung replies weakly as he moves away from the mirror, but the creature stays and laughs. Taehyung covers his ears in attempt to hide from the voice but it only continues it's laughter, getting louder and louder.
"I am in your head, Taehyung. You cannot escape me, just let me in."
"No. I don't want my friends to be hurt." Taehyung growls back as he sits in the middle of his room, glancing around at the several reflective objects in his room and seeing the shadow's emerald eyes staring hungrily at him in every one. He was surrounded. Taehyung tucked his wings in tightly before grabbing the wing brace from his bed and examining it.
"You really think that they are your friends? Who made that brace to restrict us?"
"They did, but-"
"They did, yet you still think that those pathetic lowlife's and the daughter of Min Clair love you? They do not love you, Taehyung. They fear you. They want to hurt you."
"Don't you dare bring Y/N into this, you monster!" Taehyung exclaims suddenly, launching the brace at one of the mirrors. The metal of the clasp hits the glass and shatters it, which only brings another chuckle to rise from the silence.
"I am only a reflection of you, so who here is the real monster?"
"Shut up. Shut up." Taehyung grumbles as he brings his knees up to his chest and slowly begins to rock back and forth, laughter echoing from every corner of his room. He keeps his wings tucked in tight and closes his eyes just as tightly, hoping that the voices would go away.
"Your daughter will be just as much as a monster, Taehyung. Just as ugly. Just as violent. Just. As. Feared. They'll only put her down, too, just like your friends will do to you. That's why you have to kill her."
"I am not going to hurt Y/N." Taehyung spits back as he leans forward and grabs the wing brace quickly, determined to put it on before the creature could take control. There's a deep laugh that seems closer then before which causes Taehyung to snap his head up to see the shadow standing before him.
"I would like to see you try and fight against me." The shadow hisses as it grabs the brace from Taehyung's hands and throws it to the other side of the room before wrapping it's hand around his neck and lifting him into the air. Taehyung chokes against it's hold, before he falls to the floor with a gasp and the shadow disappears. A deep chuckle resonates from his chest before he stands up and smiles, his eyes flashing green as he glances at the mirror and it smashes quickly.
