The Second task has ended with Astro, Stray Kids, Got7, BTS and BSJ as the winners. The contestants needed to learn how to survive without their quirks and push away their differences with their competitors to form some sort of an alliance. To show their willingness to push through any boundaries to win.

But, Jungkook and his new friends learn quickly that the Triwizard Tournament is not just some competition.

Jungkook and the rest of the BTS members were finally home, and home referred to South Korea. The younger was walking next to Yoongi who had an arm around his narrow shoulders, rubbing his arm softly. The younger suspected that he was doing it to calm himself down but he appreciated the gesture nonetheless. When they did arrive back in their home country, they were immediately taken into the school coach and all sat down in silence.

Namjoon stood up and was going to sit by Jin but the older simple shook his head when he saw the leader looking in his direction. Jin put on his earphones and flipped his hoodie over his head, leaning against the window and closing his eyes. Namjoon sighed and went to go sit at the back. Jungkook was beside Yoongi simply let the younger rest his head on his shoulder. Jungkook had slept a little on the short plane ride there but he was still tired, mentally. Jungkook felt his subconscious rest its on body on top of Jungkook and sighed wistfully at the warmth it radiated on his body. Jimin, Taehyung and Hoseok were all sitting in the middle taking up two rows with their legs alone. They were getting better, talking and trying their best to distract the rest of the group, but it was hard to forget what happened. Hard to forget what they had just been through and no one wanted to be reminded of that. But trying to push it away wasn't going to help at all.

The coach ride took a long time and Jungkook had finally gotten his well rested nap. He woke up to Yoongi shaking him and nodded his head as he yawned quietly. He and the rest of the members were all greeted by the principal who was standing outside of the school gates. "Principal Bang?" Namjoon asked, walking in front of the group and looking up at the man with furrowed brows.

"Hello boys," he smiled, looking at them all. "I understand that you might want to unpack and just go to your dorms and sleep. The ride must have been tiring," he chuckled. "I can't wait to see what the Task was like when it airs-"

"You haven't watched it?" Yoongi asked, looking at the man with narrowed eyes.

The man simply nodded, "it's pretty exclusive. I have to watch it with the rest of the world, no spoilers- except I know you won. That's what they let me in on," he smiled. "But, no. I came out here for a reason. Do you know what date it is today?"

Jin who still had his earphones in, took out his phone and turned it on. "Monday... the 8th of April."

"But do you know what's so special about today?" he asked.

Jin rolled his eyes, "you gonna tel-"

"Sorry!" Namjoon shouted, looking at Jin with shock. He didn't think the older was going to snap at their principal. "What's today?"

"Why- the first day of the Easter holidays! But you've won the Second Task, I decided to give you all a little gift myself. A paid trip back to your homes, whether it's by coach or plane-" he waved his hand in dismissal- "you all have two weeks to yourself and your family. But, you can stay here too, that's also an option... is he alright?"

Everyone looked at Jin who simply ignored whatever the rest of Principal Bang was going to say, grabbed his suitcase and wheeled himself into the school. "He's planning on staying in school," Namjoon excused.
