"So how do you know about this again?" Taehyung whispered to Namjoon in the back as they neared the mall.
"I tutor Hoseok and he tells me all about this shit." He shrugged, alienating Taehyung who still had no idea what was going on.
"Tae, empty your bag!" (Y/n) nagged and he reluctantly put all his school stuff on the gross floor of the van.
"Someone needs to refresh me on the rules cause I haven't done this since Yoongi had his hair in a quiff." Seokjin teased.
"We don't talk about that..." Yoongi put his head down as he parked.
Jimin cleared his throat.
"Backpack junkyard is simple. Steal as much useless shit as possible with your team and the team that steals the least amount has to go back to every store and take one more of everyone's items."
Taehyung gulped.
Namjoon sighed.
"Teams?" Seokjin asked.
"I get Yoongi!" Hoseok yelled, clinging to his seat.
"Les go! Sope forever bitch!"
"Sope and Jimin!" Jimin called out and they rolled their eyes.
"I want Joon." Seokjin said. "He's not likely to get pulled aside because of how old he looks."
"Oh, smart! I'm on your team!" Taehyung called.
"Uh, you wish new boy..." Seokjin looked him up and down.
"Y'all so rude! Tae, you're with me!" I babied him.
"Who's taking the demon boy?" Hoseok asked.
"King of hell..."
"Okay, be quiet sparkle fingers." Jimin rolled his eyes.
"My sister isn't being alone with a boy that isn't Hoseok or Jimin. Take sparkle fingers."
I looked at the gnarled boy in the messed up suit.
"Fine, but we get a 5 minute head start to get him some more... reasonable clothes."
He stayed silent like usual, only glaring at me.
"Fine. Go."
"Shit! Hurry!" I yelled as I burrowed through the sea of kegs and jumped out with Taehyung.
Jungkook was already at the entrance.
"He really is some magical bitch huh..."
"And that's your soul contract!" Taehyung patter my back as we walked, making my heart tingle.
We reached the door where the satan boy had teleported and he walked in like it was nothing.
Immediately we turned to the vans store.
"Can you... teleport into the changing room?" Taehyung asked.
He rolled his eyes. "Only when nobody is looking." He said, speaking for the first time in forever.
"So just like... look away or..?"
He sighed, getting flustered. "Yes!"
So we did, and he was gone.
"So fucking weird bro..." I whispered as we entered the store. It was hitting me that this wasn't a hoax, and we're playing mall games with a fallen angel.
"Get him shoes and jeans and I'll grab a hoodie. And don't look suspicious..." I warned as we separated.
My eyes landed on something that I assumed Jungkook would hate, completely forgetting the part about him probably being able to crush me like a grape.
I grabbed the biggest size and met Taehyung at the changing rooms.
"Jungkook?" I whisper-yelled.
A stomp was heard from the room at the end of the hall.
I ran over and slid the three things under as Taehyung sweated gallons in nervousness.
"Jesus... go wait outside the store so we don't get caught." I whispered to him and he aggressively nodded.
He was waiting and I saw a suit jacket hit the ground from under the stall and grabbed it.
"Hey!" He yelled but I shushed him as I folded it and walked back out, placing it in the t-shirt section by the front desk.
"We don't sell suits in this store..." a boy a bit older than me informed with suspicion.
I froze. "Uh, I found it in the changing room and just grabbed it because I wanted to help."
Stupid excuse!
""In the men's changing rooms?" He questioned, reaching under the desk.
"Do not press the button." Without hesitating, Jungkook sped to the desk and slammed his hands on it, looking the boy dead in the eye with a red glare. "You do sell suits in your store."
The boy's eyes reflected Jungkook's and he lazily turned to me.
"Sorry... we do sell suits in our store..." he said, eyes glossed over as Jungkook rudely grasped my wrist and dragged me out in his new outfit.
A oversized pink hoodie and skinny jeans that made him look 10.
"You mad about the outfit..?" I asked as he threw my arm at Taehyung.
"Please! You think Satan is gonna have such a fragile masculinity that I can't even wear pink?" He rolled his eyes another fucking time. "I'm mad cause you almost got us caught!" He looked around, and I smiled with confusion as he looked around. "They're already in here, so we need a plan." He turned to us with a fiery gaze.
Oh he was into it now.
"Hot Topic has rubber ducky earrings that we could snag?" I offered. He nodded.
"Lead the way..." he said with a fierce intensity.
Two girls that were leaving a beauty shop now had their gazes set on the boys.
They approached and greeted them, stopping us, making Jungkook and I pissed.
While I was being ignored, these girls were just chatting with Taehyung as he flirted his ass off.
Then, genius struck.
I tapped Jungkook's shoulder and whispered my plan.
"So, what do you have in your bags girls?" He asked, eyes red.
They blushed and started showing their makeup.
"I have some seaside flavored lip balm, a leopard print skirt, and a shirt with the Office characters!" The first girl said.
"Give it to us." He commanded.
She did so.
"I have 14 soaps to cut up for my instagram and 5 lip liners."
"Perfect!" I yelled, thinking about how the other's would manage to steal 14 soaps.
She just looked me up and down. "Calm down freak. They're not for you..."
"Give her your bag." Jungkook commanded.
And she fucking did!
I started cackling as we walked away towards Hot Topic.
"Look at you, being all helpful and nice!" I teased Jungkook as we went into the store and he deadpanned before heading straight to the register as Taehyung grabbed everything from clearance, seeming to suddenly know what he's doing.
Or maybe it was the cause of why Taehyung was glaring holes into the back of the other boy's head.
"We are allows you take anything we want." He commanded, and with 6 more stores down after that, Taehyung and I were both full and waiting for time to run out at the food court.
"Okay, you pulled the team but did you see me swerve that security guard?!" I yelled, throwing a French fry at Jungkook who was just sitting back and quietly laughing.
"Taehyung was the one that almost got us caught just by the number of girls that leached onto him!" Jungkook pointed, flipping his hood back.
"Bro, why are you pointing at me! Did you hear (Y/n) trying to make excuses when she got caught in Forever21!"
"It wasn't that bad!" I defended and they looked at each other with a dumbfounded expression.
"You faked a pregnancy!" They yelled at the same time.
Seokjin and Namjoon approached us first, right as time ended and we offered them food.
They commented on how nice Jungkook was being once or twice, met with his iconic eye roll.
It was taking the other three a while so we all agreed that they would lose by default for not stopping on time.
"Get back here!" A security officer yelled and everyone looked up to see what it was, while I was the only one at the table to sprint that way immediately.
I knew those boys too well for this to not be them.
Sure enough, they were cornered, Jungkook once again striding over at inhuman speeds.
"You kids are in so much trouble! Skipping school and shoplifting?! What has this generation come to!"
Jungkook grabbed the man and spun him. "These three are innocent, you will return their stuff and let them go." He commanded, again, eyes red.
He shook his head, and the security guard gave the bag back. "You three are innocent and I will let you... wait! No!" He yelled as he cleared his head.
"RUN!" I yelled as I ran back to the food court, grabbing the bags (and a fry) as Namjoon, Taehyung and Seokjin got up to run with us.
We got outside and to the car, Jungkook ready with the doors open as he held his head in his hands.
Yoongi jumped in front and pulled out, starting the car as we all struggled to get in before he started driving too fast.
The bags weighed me down, and Taehyung took them from me, tossing them in the car before breaking out into a run after the car, getting pulled in by Hoseok.
I kept running and held my hand out to Taehyung who was now reaching for me as the fat security guard moved at amazing speed.
I reached out and he grabbed me at last, pulling as hard as he could.
He fell back and I landed on him, our feet still dangling out the back as Yoongi turned onto the real street and we scooted into a sitting position as Jimin slammed the back doors.
The adrenaline distracted me from the fact that I was now on his lap, and I only realized because of the looks we were getting.
Breath heavy, I clambered to the left wall next to Jimin and Jungkook.
Jungkook hissed in pain, and we all looked at him.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It stings... the longer I'm here, the more my powers drain until I'm..." he hesitated. "on the same level as a regular person... so thats why I need your soul." He said, clenching his hair in his fists.
The car was silent.
"Well, where now? It's not like we can go back to school." Namjoon asked after a while. "My parents might not be home right now?" He offered.
"They'd see my beat up ass van across the street from school though." Yoongi said.
"Let's go back to our place Yoongi." I offered, and we were on our way.
