Hidden World (BTS Greek Demigods)

Chapter 15

Jin made sure that Jimin and Taehyung were eating before he left the room to get something for himself. When he walked towards the kitchen, however, he was encountered with the four other members of BTS as well as EXO sitting around the dining table eating. Jin looked at Suho and raised an eyebrow.
"How did you get them to eat instead of rush straight to see Taehyung?" Jin asked, his eyes narrowing slightly. Manipulation? Mind control?
"I said that I knew they wanted to see him and that I wouldn't stop them from doing so as long as they finished eating as well as giving Jimin and Taehyung a chance to finish what you had given them." Suho explained. Smart. Jin thought. "I also gave them my 'do as you're told or there will be consequences' look. It works every time." He added. Jin chuckled at this. He would have to take lessons.
"Thank you Suho hyung." Jin replied gratefully. "I'm going to get a plate so I can have some of this delicious looking food."
"It is delicious hyung." Jungkook piped up, a smile on his face. As much as he wanted to see Taehyung and Jimin, he wanted to ensure that Jin knew that his food was appreciated and absolutely delicious.
"Thank you Kookie." Jin replied, a warm smile on his face as he looked at maknae.

*Later – Everyone finished and cleaning up*

As soon as everyone had finished and the table was being cleared, BTS immediately picked up their plates and some of the empty dishes on the table in order to take them to the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Chen asked, seeing BTS start clearing the table.
"We're helping clean up." Jungkook said.
"Don't worry about it, let us take care of that. I can tell that you guys desperately want to see Taehyung." Chen replied. He then turned to Sehun. "Sehun, you take them to see Taehyung and Jimin, the rest of us will clean up. They are in Suho and your room." Sehun nodded at this. The five members of BTS smiled, silently bowing deeply and thanking Chen. Everyone in the room could tell that the five remaining members of BTS all wanted to see Taehyung and Jimin. With that, the five members of BTS followed Sehun out of the room and towards two thirds of their maknae line.

Taehyung and Jimin had just finished eating and were now talking. Taehyung hadn't eaten that much because he was still quite weak. Just because his body wasn't in pain, didn't mean he was well enough to eat as much as he normally did. Jimin understood this so he didn't force him to eat more than he was able to or comfortable with. Mid-conversation they heard footsteps coming towards them. Both of them looked towards the door as it swung open, revealing their five other members and Sehun standing in the doorway. A moment later, Jungkook two '95 liners as Sehun disappeared from the doorway, closing the door behind him.
"Taehyungie hyung, we were so worried about you!" Jungkook exclaimed, throwing his arms around the second youngest. The hyung line walked over to the maknae line with smiles on their faces.
"How are you feeling Taehyung-ah?" Namjoon asked.
"I still feel weak but I'm not in pain." Taehyung replied honestly. Everyone smiled at this comment, so thankful to EXO for rescuing them and taking care of them. Even though they all knew that this was nowhere near over and they would have to band together with as many demigods as they could to defeat Tartarus, but in this moment they were all just happy to be together and to be alive. They knew that it was going to take them a long time to fully heal and recover and that they would never forget this ordeal, but they had each other and the people around them to help them and that was something they were all thankful for.

*Later – everyone going to bed*

With the help of blow-up mattresses, couches, and fold out beds, EXO being the amazing people that they are, had made sure that everyone had a bed to sleep on. Some of them shared bed, but they were big enough that that wasn't a problem for them. Yoongi had decided to go around to each BTS member and do what he had done for Namjoon earlier and put them all to sleep with happy dreams instead of the nightmares that he knew would come.

*The Next Day*

Thanks to Yoongi's sleeping spell, none of the BTS members had woken up screaming from nightmares, which everyone was thankful for. It was the first time in who knows how long that BTS got a genuine night sleep.
"Your producer is coming to pick you up today." Suho reminded Namjoon as they sat down to have breakfast. "He didn't tell me what time exactly, but you can use my phone to call him today and ask." He added. A weight lifted off Namjoon's shoulders that he didn't even know he was carrying. One less thing he had to worry about. He was so thankful that everyone was now safe and he was beyond grateful to have friends like EXO that wouldn't hesitate to help them in any way possible. The same applied in reverse as well and both groups knew this.
"Thank you Suho. For everything. I don't know what I would have done if you guys hadn't come when you did." Namjoon replied, thanking his fellow leader. Suho put a comforting hand on the younger man's shoulder.
"You don't have to be strong for everyone all the time. Yes, you are the leader, and believe me, I know the weight that carries, but you're human too. You're allowed to have feelings and you're allowed to express them. I know that your members will agree with me." Suho said in a soft tone. He could sympathise with Namjoon. Of course, he'd never had his members tortured in front of him, but he knew the stresses of being a leader.
"He's right hyung." A voice said from being them. Both men looked up to see Jungkook standing there. Jungkook then sat down beside Namjoon. "Hyung, I have looked up to you ever since I met you. You're my role model and you have been ever since I met you. You are the reason I decided to join Big Hit Entertainment even though I had offers from other agencies and ultimately BTS. I will forever be thankful for my decision to do so. But like Suho hyung said, you're allowed to have feelings and express them. You don't always have to put a brave face on all the time. You're allowed to be sad, you're allowed to be stressed, you're allowed to be tired. You may be a demigod, but you're still human. Never forget that you always have the rest of us to turn to if you ever need anything." Jungkook said. Namjoon's eyes filled with tears of happiness at his words and he immediately pulled his maknae in for a hug, Jungkook hugging him back immediately. Namjoon buried his face in the crook of the Maknae's neck, not seeing or feeling Jungkook smile affectionately as he looked at his leader who he still held in a tight hug.
