PREVIOUSLY ON:              QUIRKS

After spending a couple days with his grandparents Jin is back in school and also getting along with Namjoon. Yoongi would be having a good Christmas if he didn't have a History Mock exam straight after the holidays so he's spending most of the days cooped up in the library or his dorm. And our sweet Hoseok is in America! Meeting his boyfriend after a very long time, which makes him the happiest person on Earth, as he should be.

Everyone's Christmas seems to be going well, but now, we're back in school...

The Christmas holidays were over and it was safe to say that all the boys had a grand time, except Yoongi who had a 2 hour History Mock to do but all in all the day was getting better. The schools heaters were on full blast now that all the students were back and the snow was still everywhere. But it just the wind that attacked them the most out of the freezing snow.

Because the school was in the middle of a giant forest in the countryside, over mountains and behind safeguarded areas to make sure it wasn't going to be broken into at all, that also meant they had a lot of wind coming in. Which was usually why the kids wore some warmer clothes, even during the springtime. But no doubt, the summers were the best. After exams they could just go out to the forest and have picnics, take a dive in the lake or just sit out on the warm grass. Jimin, Jungkook, Taehyung and Hoseok all met up at the gates of the school, after coming back form their own coaches.

"Something feels different?" Jungkook asked.

"Everyone's watched the First Task," Hoseok said, placing a hand on Jungkook and Jimin's shoulder. "We're getting popular," he grinned widely. Jungkook gulped of course, everyone had probably watched the First Task during the holidays- it was on National Television. With popularity also came hate, Jungkook could see some guys from the Fifth Year look down on him like a piece of meat.

"He's the one that got the crystal?" one of the them asked.

"Kid thought it was a piece of fruit- who thinks that?" one of them snickered.

Jungkook ducked his head down and pulled at the straps of his bag. "I'm going to unpack," he mumbled, pushing past the others and heading to dorm room. He gazed over his shoulder to see Taehyung look at him with a frown on his face. The younger simply shrugged the look away and returned back into the warmth of the school, trying to ignore the burning stares of the school students around him.

He made his way into his dorm room quicker than he thought considering the boys dormitories were on the other side of the school. Jungkook placed his bags on the floor by his wardrobe and simply returned to his bed, jumping on top of the hard mattress and staying there or some time. He felt warmth radiate on his back and turned around so that he wasn't lying flat on his stomach. It was his subconscious, trying to tell him something. Or more, point in direction of the door, Jungkook rolled his eyes and turned around to face his wall.

"Can't be asked," the younger groaned. He hissed when he felt a hot feeling on the bottom of his back. Jungkook flinched and sat upright on his bed, glaring at the floating subconscious who was still pointing to the bedroom door. "I told you I'm tired, let me sleep. We've been on that coach journey for hours now, God, what's your problem?" the younger mumbled under his breath. Jungkook's subconscious gulped slightly, looking back at the door.

The subconscious simply wanted to go outside, being cooped up in Jungkook's room throughout the entire day and then in the coach with Jungkook refusing to at least open the window? Yeah, Jungkook's subconscious did want a little bit of freedom. The soul floated down by Jungkook's bed and simply sat down on the floor, leaning it's head against Jungkook's mattress and stared out at the window. The snow has settled around the very edge of the window, making the scenery look a little closed of. As if it were trying to keep the subconscious inside of the room and never let it out.
