Five's return

Since celeste's horse went downhill a few days ago from that incident, they had to share a horse. Celeste sat behind hoseok and she was...a bit embarrassed. Due to the impact the horse had went it galloped, she would fall off so she was left with no choice but to hold onto his waist.

Of course, she didn't threw herself onto him or cling onto him for her dear life. She tried to keep it minimal as possible, her head faced straight, no lying down on his back of whatsoever but her hands..Well they were on each sides of Hoseok's waist.

"You know you can just hold onto me comfortably right" He said out of a sudden.

True, because celeste trying to minimise her skin ship with him, she was in a rather..Awkward position.

"Oh w-who said i-i wasn't comfortable" She replied back instantly and crossed her arms, letting go of him immediately as well.

"Okay then" He made the horse ride even faster which almost cause Celeste to fall off.

So she had no choice but to wrap her arms around his waist tightly.

Celeste groaned as she knew he did it on purpose while he just smirked a little, drawing his attention back on the path ahead.

"So why exactly are we here again" Five whispered to Zero.

"You did not listen? We wait" It was unusual for Five to be unaware of things since he was older but Zero just let it slip off.

"Wait for?"

"Celeste? The key?" Zero reminded.

"And when she arrives, we fight them?"

"Um, do you expect us to have tea time with them then?"

"Five, did something happen? You seem different"

"Ah no, im just not feeling my best today"

"You sure?"

"You can tell me you know, if that is, anything bothering you" with that, Five pulled Zero to a corner where they were slightly more hidden.

"Zero, i know i sound crazy right now, but you have to wake up."

"What the hell? You're saying the same things as Seven" He pushed Five away.

"Trust me, you're not you. This, this whole Calseloux thing, they brainwashed us. You ought to believe me" Five explained.

"Five, Zero. Calseloux seeks your presence" A guard came to deliver the message as he bowed to them.

Zero eyed Five suspiciously as he made his way off first. Sighing, five followed as he strengthen his act.

"YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE"

"No i didn't" Hoseok shrugged.

"YOU" Celeste purposely formed a ring of vines around his waist as she hold onto the horse instead of support.

Well it was more like a belt now and she tightened them, annoyed.

"What are you doing-ow" The vines tightened around his waist.

"payback"

"That's what im doing" Hoseok just groaned as the vines tightened more. He tried to focus on the path but the vines were distracting him so the horse ended up tripping onto a rock. Great.

It didn't stop but it did caused Celeste to lose her balance. Since she was only holding on the horse's back and laughing, there wasn't enough support for her.

So she came YEETING OUT-falling out of the horse and onto the ground.

Well no, im kidding. Hoseok had managed to catch her by the waist and pulled her up in front of him. Just like the previous incident at the forbidden forest.

He shook his head as he fling the veins off himself with one hand and another controlling the horse.

It was just in time for a break, the horse needed some rest before they continued their journey. Slowing down, the horse eventually came to a stop. He looked over at Celeste who was silent, her eyes meeting his darker ones.

"You really like driving me crazy, don't you"

"IM WITH YOU"

"IM FIVE"

Calseloux watched closely as Five was dragged nearer and nearer to the brainwashing machine.

"If you were Five, you wouldn't struggle as much" He tapped his fingers in a slow rhythm.

"Im five and you don't trust me. Thats why i'm screaming" He shook off the guards' grip.

"Five never talks like this" Zero commented.

"Well maybe that's because you don't know me, five, very well" He spat as he struggled, the guards were pulling him nearer and nearer the machine. He didn't want to be risk getting brainwashed again, he just wanted to go back home. Back to his sister and take care of her.

"Proceed" Namjoon swiped his fingers a little to the right as he completely ignored Five's lashing.

"No, i said i'm not going back in there" Thick grey smoke puffed out behind his back, causing the guards to back away.

"And i mean it" Five's eyes shimmered with streaks of grey.

"I wanted to stay, but i guess my acting wasn't strong enough"

"So if you would excuse me, goodbye" He left his last words as smoke engulfed him. As the smoke faded away, he was gone. Just like that, gone.

"Oh my god, i thought i acted pretty well? Ugh, they're just too smart" Five rolled his eyes as he stretched his arms. He didn't actually had a place in mind when he teleported so.......well let's just say he ended up in the middle of nowhere. (hes in forbidden forest, where powers are banned, its huge. Stretches to around 1/2 of the land)

"Oh god, now i need to find my way back-oh i could just use teleportation? But that would take another piece of my energy, gosh im sooooo tired"

"Wow, it actually feels nice stepping out of dirty Calseloux not for some stupid duty" He looked around, admiring the bamboo plants surrounding him.

The sound of the forest couldn't get anymore pleasing, the sound of the leaves rustling occasionally as the wind breeze blows by, the sound of footsteps, the sound of-wait. Footsteps? He immediately opened his eyes and slid into the nearest bark he could find.

To be honest, he didn't expect to fight again just after 5 seconds out of Calseloux, well then.
His hand reached for his sword and caged around it slowly as he paid attention to the sound.

Two people.

They were getting nearer and nearer.

A gust of wind could be heard suddenly across the tree he was at. He took a step forward softly  and slowly so the crunching of leaves would be lost in the natural sound of the forest.

He turned his head slightly backwards as he saw a flash of blue robe whipping to another tree. Drawing out his knife, he made his way to the centre, if he was going to fight, he needed to be brave.

He tilted it where the sun rays hit directly onto its silver face as his ears continued to pay close attention.

"Show yourself"

The sound of shadows moving and darting around swiftly caught his ears. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them again, only to be face to face with his partner in Calseloux.

"Sev-i mean Yoongi?" He slightly withdrawn his sword.

But Yoongi didn't, he placed his sword at Five's neck

"I'm not five anymore, i swear. Im jin, seokjin" He defended himself.

(A/n: Poor boy defending himself twice in a row)

"When i said about meeting you again, Jin" A voice came from behind.

"I didn't quite expect our meeting to be like that"
