Who We Are BOOK 1 ✔

Holding on to you

"To a tree tell it, you belong to me, this ain't a noose
This is a leash and I have news for you
You must obey me"

- Twenty one pilots

"I can't believe... what I've just witnessed"

"You just saw an absolute legend in the making" Jungkook boasted while wiping the sauce off his face.

"How... like- how?! Did you copy someone's ability to have a black hole as a stomach?!" You were trying to process what had just happened with the rebellious hero who had managed to finish a meal for four people in thirty minutes.

"Pfft, no? Shouldn't you be happy that you won't be paying since I beat the meat feast meal challenge?" Jungkook started to toothpick his teeth clean as he watched the staff go crazy in the kitchen with the news of a customer finally being able to do the challenge.

"You know what, you're right. I'm saving money today and you get to have your picture on the wall" you dismissed the idea of trying to figure out his stomach size and just let the world be.

"Shall we head back then?"

"...you want to go back? To Zeus? The place you've been trying to get out from?" You were cautious to say the least.

"I want to get back to training, I got to burn off the meat feast calories"

"The doctor said to rest, training is not resting" you reminded him.

"You can't stop me-"

"Ah ah, remember our deal?" Your comment made the younger look away nonchalantly, trying not to accept the conditions.

"Jungkook?"

"... okay, I'll rest" you reached over the table and grabbed his cheeks once more before squishing them.

"Look at you growing up~"

"Ow! Let go!" Suddenly, a waiter came over to clean the table and noticed how close you were to each other.

"How nice of you to take your little brother out instead of staying home in this terrible weather" the both of you looked in the direction of the new voice and Jungkook quickly pushed you off him.

"She's not my sister!"

"I'm your babysitter, isn't that close enough?"

"You're not my babysitter either" he made sure to glare daggers at you.

"Okay okay, jeez. Can't take a joke... anyway we'll be going now, thanks for the meal!" You announced at the staff back at the kitchen who happily waved back at the both of you.

Zipping up your coats and putting on your gloves, the both of you stepped out into the snow infested land.

"Gah! It's so cold!"

"Pfft, weak" the tall hero mocked.

"Are you saying I need to be stronger than the weather? The weather?!" You questioned while trying to quickly get back to the company building which was only around the corner.

"That is precisely what I'm saying" you turned around so that you could show your confused expression to the weird boy when something else had drawn yours and everyone else around you's attention.

"I've got a bomb! A BOMB!" A man exclaimed in all black with a mask that only covered half of his face vertically. As soon as he removed his coat to reveal the many bombs attached around his waist, everyone went ballistic. Sounds of screaming cries of help filled the streets as everyone tried to get away from the crazy man in black.

"Step back, Y/N! Get to a safe place!"

"Without you? Are you crazy?!"

"I think I'm the only hero that's here right now. I'll stop him at all costs!" Before you could stop him, he had already ran over to where the masked man was.

"Jungkook! Is he crazy?!" You were about to follow and stop him before he could get himself seriously injured when you saw two children trying to run away from the scene but slipped on a patch of snow.

Hesitating whether to go and stop Jungkook or save the children, you decided helping the locals was the best option as the new recruit could at least defend himself.

"Hurry, grab my hands!" You ordered the two kids, who were now crying in fear, and they thankfully did as they were told.

Holding on to them tightly, you carefully ran over to the other side of the road and told them to keep running on the path. Once you knew they were safe, you looked around to see if there were others who needed help and to your luck, everyone had left.

Looking at where Jungkook and the masked man was, you noticed how it looked like the hero was insulting the crazy male who only got angrier and more violent.

"What is he doing?!" You were about to take a step forward until you thought how you were going to handle this. You didn't have a hero licence, you couldn't use your powers to fight anyway and distracting Jungkook could get him injured.

"Stay back! Or I'll set it off!"

"Set it off then! I don't care, it's most likely a fake bomb-" before he could finish his sentence, Jungkook flew back from one of the bombs that the masked male threw and set off.

"Jungkook!" Realising what you did, you saw that the villain had his eyes on you now.

"Is that your girlfriend coming here to save you? Wow, a boy needing a girl's help!" He continued to torment the brunette who was now on his feet and covered in snow. You couldn't see his face but you knew he was boiling up with anger.

"I don't need anyone's help! I'm strong enough to take on the world!"

"The world?! You can't even take me on-" suddenly, a dart hit the masked man's neck which made him slowly fall to the ground and fall asleep.

Disorientated, the both of you looked around to find the culprit and you saw none other than Sehun walking towards the both of you with a dart gun.

Without uttering a word, Sehun walked over to the quiet body and checked his pulse to make sure he was alive.

"... normal pulse rate. He should be fine"

"Finally he shut up! It was getting annoying hearing him blabber on- Y/N?" Another hero came on to the scene who had fire-y red hair and a strong gaze.

"Did you just say Y/N? As if she'd be here- oh, it is her" a woman said this time while walking out with the fluffiest grey coat you had ever seen.

"Wait, Y/N is here?! Where?!" Another male with beautiful blonde hair exclaimed while following the girl.

"Wait, the Protectors know you?!" Jungkook exclaimed.

"Here we go again..."
