freak

chap 02

Jeongukk sat on the uncomfortable seats of the plane, thinking how boring this was gonna be, until a certain boy came into his eyesight, the boy kept eye contact for a minute which to jeongukk, felt longer.

He smiled awkwardly, and the boy just kept staring.

"Um, can I help you? " Jeongguk asked with the best english he could.

"Don't worry, I can speak Korean."  The boy laughed. Jeongukk laughed too, his cheeks a tinted red.

The boy sat down next jeongukk letting out a long sigh, at which he added,

"I'm stuck on this plane for 13 hours, might as well make a friend, " He smiled, jeongukk was fond of his smile, this boy seemed very friendly.

"Uh, sorry your name is? " Jeongukk asked awkwardly.

"Oh sorry! It's Seokjin, but call me jin, I totally forgot, and yours? "

"Jeongukk." He knew that sounded quite cold, so he smiled at the end to show he wasn't trying to sound mean.

"Nice name. " The boy grinned.

Jeongukk just smiled and reached for his bag under the seat, pulling out a book.

In a glass darkly.

His favorite book.

"In a glass darkly? What's it about? " jin asked.

"Well I haven't read it fully but so far it's about a metaphysical doc, who, by asking patients and stuff, wants to see if ghosts are actually there or if their hallucinations created by the mind, it's like.. a supernatural type of book. I guess. "

"Interesting.. So are you into supernatural stuff? " jin questioned,

"Yea, sorta. " He answered shortly.

"Do you believe? Like, in ghosts and supernaturals? "

"Heck no, "

           " ,that's nonsense. "

"Wait so what can you do? Talk to ghosts? Fly? Can you be invisible because I wanna see if Yoongi talks smack about me behind my back- "

"Jimin, please. Shut the fuck up. "

"Ok jeez, sorry. "

Taehyung trusted jimin, in keeping this a secret, but he was kind of regretting it now.

"Wait so like.. How old were you when you realized, you could, do stuff? " Jimin asked seriously.

"Oh, like 14, I got really angry over something.. I'm not sure what it was now. But I felt wind pooling around me, it was weird. And then I tried to do other stuff, like this-"

Taehyung lifted his palm and focused, hard, and with the touch of his finger, he turned on the lamp that was next to his dorm room bed.

Jimin just stared.

"That... Was so fucking cool. "

"Nah I'm just weird, a freak. " Teahyung said with a small chuckle. Looking down.

"Tae, your not weird, or a freak, you are different, in a good way and I've never seen anyone like you.. You stand out , tae. " Jimin reassured, giving taehyung a small  smile.

"But.. I don't want to stand out. I want to be just like everyone else. "

"Than the world would be quite boring don't you think? " Jimin shrugged and gave taehyung a pat on the back.

It made taehyung think just for a second, that this might be.. I don't know, a gift? But then he realized he was being dumb. Only someone who was like him could tell him he was normal, and was gifted. But until then. Freak it is.
