Just Us Three-But It Doesn't Have to Be

cover up

Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook clutched at each other. They needed to get into that big, huge, tall orphanage without anyone knowing. Their room was in the center of the bloody hallways. Taehyung hummed, eyes flashing before the three of them were shielded. With a nod from the boy, they quickly entered the demon's gate. Slowly, they began their way through the hallways. Careful not to bump into anyone, or make too much noise. Yes, taehyung's powers shielded them from the eyes of others, but it didn't work with sounds. As such, they had to be very careful so as to not arouse suspicion.
Once they make the tenuous journey to their rooms, they all sink with relief to the floor Taehyung dropping the shielding around them. They fell asleep like that, huddled together, on the floor.

"I am telling you mistress, they were not in bed. It is time to get them into trouble!" The tall boy insisted. The headmistress scoffed.
"Oh yes, most certainly, just like all the other times they were 'not in bed'. Found lounging around in their rooms?" The boy groaned.
"I swear it Headmistress! Just look, you will see i am right!!" The mistress sighed heavily.
She did not know what this boy's beef was with the three newest residents of the orphanage, but nearly every morning he came to her insisting that they were out pf bed, and every morning when she checked they were either in their own rooms or huddled together in one of theirs. She could not get them in trouble for that. Yet this boy seemed to hold som resentment towards them. It confused her to no end.
"Very well then. " she spoke with a heavy voice. It was getting annoying, this boy's constant insistence. "I shall check. Why don't you come along, with me?" He smiled and nodded, determined.
Upon looking in two of the boy's room and finding nothing, and the youth at her side growing ever enthusiastic, she opened the room of jungkook, the youngest, and found them all huddled together. She stared hard at the boy before her.
"See? They had a sleep over in the maknae's room. It is not so uncommon." She said aggravated. This boy continued to insist that these three were ditching the curfew, and yet they had only been caught leavong curfew a few times, with reasonable explainations. She continued to be perplexed at why the constant accusation that they were leaving curfew. Insisting that they were constantly ignoring the rules when they clearly were not was something that really irked her.
"But, but, they..." the boy stuttered, eyes wide, shocked. How could they be in their room???
"That os enough." Headmistress said sternly. "Clearly they are in bed, sleeping, together. Jungkook probably had another nightmare, and they came to comfort him."
Oh yes, it was no secret that the three suffered nightmares, but the youngest of them had at least one every week. Not simple ones, ones that left him shaking, trembling, and often enough, crying. None could calm him but the other two, and more often than not it was Taehyung who managed it more than Jimin. Still, since the boy refused to let anyone else close to him during his nightmare aftermaths, it was ruled that the three were allowed to have sleepovers. A privilege which extended to them, and none else, though she sometimes assumed they over used this privilege she was not about to say anything.
"Let them be, and come on. I have had enough of your tall tales."

Namjoon sighed whacking his head on the keyboard angrily. Hobi blinked, staring at him in concern.
"Yes, Joonah, I am sure your keyboard will have all the answers and simply spill them to you if you only bang your head a bit more." Suga said sarcastically, holding his cup of coffee to his mouth. Jin groaned.
"Joonie, stop it. You are going to hurt yourself." He admonished. Namjoon sighed heavily.
"I have looked through everything canvasing 2 miles of the place we were at in every direction. Nothing."
"How do three teens manage to hide themselves so securely from every security camera within the city?" Hobi asked, wondering.
"They may be street kids." Suga provided.
"Too well dressed for that." Jin said, putting down Suga's suggestion. They were dressed incredibly well for street kids, too well, and were healthy, if a bit on the thin side.."
"Once street kids then, maybe living in an orphanage or an unloving foster home now." Suga said shrugging his shoulders. "Avoiding cameras is something you learn on the streets fast, especially if you are trying to hide." Hobi sighed. This was crazy.
"Why are we looking so hard for them anyways?" He asked. The three stared at him in disbelief.
"Those three kids managed to have perfect control over the fire element. Whether only one or all three, that is unknown, fact is, having an element is not common, fire element, even more so. Controlling said fire element, nearly impossible. Meaning they have had practice. They are powerful. We need to find them, and soon, before they decide we are too much of a threat. Get it now?" Suga said seriously, voice low and dangerous. Hobi gulped, nodding. Suga smirkes. "Good, glad you do. Now, look in the orphanage records. They will probably be there somewhere, joonah, either currently resoding or previously having done so." Joon nooded, taking a deep breath, readying himself. They needed to find those kids.
