Elements of Reality

"Oh." Was all the brunette could manage to say after a detailed explanation from Seokjin. One word almost didn't seem fitting as a response to such a detailed explanation of a rather complex situation. But just learning for himself that this whole time he wasn't actually cursed, but gifted, was something he found hard to fathom in words. 

The brunette lent his back against the wall of his living room, lips pursed as he stood tensely in front of six other people. To be quite honest, he'd never had so many guests over all at once, so he couldn't help but begin to fidget with the gloves slipped over his hands. 

Eyes darting towards the wall opposite him, the brunette watched as an orange haired male stepped forwards, hair slightly tousled as the tuffs poked out in all different directions. He ran a hand through his hair, attempting to tame it as he parted his lips to speak, "You're not surprised?" he questioned, frowning in the slightest, "Myself and pretty much everyone else found it as a lot to take in."

The brunette simply shook his head, "Honestly... no" he drew in a slow breath as he rose a hand in front of his vision, "I guess I've experienced this ability first hand." he began to explain, examining his gloves as he continued to speak, "I've always known there was bound to be others with unnatural abilities."

The orange haired male simply shrugged, "To be honest, I see where you're coming from." he chuckled, a small spark of warmth emitting itself from the male's expression. "The fact that I was born like this," he shuddered in place, "is creepy."

The brunette rose a brow, "And you are?"

"Hoseok, bearer of Energy." he grinned, slowly bringing up a hand. With one simple and almost effortless gesture, he allowed for a golden flame to dance over the palm of his hand, the light trailing up and entangling itself around the male's outstretched fingers, the soft glow only further illuminating his warm features. The brunette couldn't help but let his eyes glue themselves to the light. 

From beside Hoseok, a raven haired male stepped forwards with a sigh, "I'm Yoongi, bearer of Gravity." he uttered, slipping his hands out from the pockets of his jeans. The brunette watched on as Yoongi rose his arm towards a glass of water placed upon his living room table, eyes growing wide as the liquid inside began to ripple and jitter before slowly it began to separate, small orbs of water floating out from the glass. The water sparkled and glistened in the light that seeped through the windows of the cottage, and the brunette found the sight almost breathtakingly beautiful. However it didn't seem that Yoongi was amused in the slightest, keeping a rather bored expression as he dropped the water back into the glass, slipping his hands back into the pockets of his jeans. 

After a moment of silence, the familiar blonde haired male stepped forwards, "Kim Seokjin... Time." he spoke casually, his accent strong as his words rolled off his tongue rather soothingly. The brunette didn't expect much of a demonstration, after all, Seokjin had explained earlier that his elemental symbol had been damaged.
