MAGES | BTS [DISCONTINUED]

C҉h҉. 2҉3҉ - "T҉o҉g҉e҉t҉h҉e҉r҉"

The boys sat in Jungkook's hospital room. They stayed silent, looking down at the floor. Jungkook was drowning in his thoughts. He was a failure. He failed to save his friends, and now Siren has the Sage of wind in his hands. All because of him.

"Jungkook," Jimin placed his hand on top of Jungkook's. "This isn't your fault."

Jungkook sighed, taking Jimin's hand and squeezing it tight. "I lost my arm. How am I suppose to help now?"

Jimin stayed silent.

"Guys," Jungkook spoke up. "Can I have some time to myself?"

Jimin nodded slightly, following him to the door. The others leaving as well.

"I can't believe it," Namjoon breathed out. "Jungkook's left arm is gone, Yoongi got kidnapped by Siren, the school is in shambles..."

"Everything will be okay," Jin comforted him, rubbing his back gently. "I'm sure that Adora-"

"We don't know anything!" Hoseok exasperated, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. "God, I can't just stand here waiting for Adora and the others to find Yoongi! I can't stand still knowing he's with those maniacs!"

"They have Jinyoung and more people here to help find Yoongi," Jin reassured. "I'm sure it won't be long until he finds Yoongi."

Taehyung sighed out. "I just don't want anything else to happen to us. I can't let anything else happen."

Jimin frowned at the boy sitting next to him. He hugged him tightly. "We won't let anything happen to us."

"Right," Namjoon placed his hand in the center. "Let's promise each other."

"Promise each other what?" Jin asked.

"That we'll protect each other, and that we'll survive this fight," Namjoon answered. "Together."

Hoseok nodded, placing his hand on top of Namjoon's. Followed by Jin, followed by Jimin, followed by Taehyung.

"Together."

"How are you guys holding?" Jiwoo asked.

"We're fine," Taehyung answered. "We're ready to get Yoongi back, and get revenge for Jungkook."

"Not happening," Mathew shook his head.

"What?" asked Jin. "Why?"

"Because, you guys aren't even licensed mages." Seph explained. "You're still students, and we'll get in trouble with the public if they found out we had students fight against the people who destroyed the school."

"So then what do you expect us to do?" Jimin asked, very much offended. All because they were still students, they couldn't go?

"We expect you guys to stay here with Jungkook, and take care of him," Mathew answered. "Do I make myself clear?"

"No!" Hoseok glared at him. "Yoongi's our friend. We should be there to save him, even if we're just students. He's our friend!"

"Yeah!" Taehyung agreed. "This is bullshit!"

Somin let out a sigh. "I know how you feel, but please leave this to us. You guys got a depressed Jungkook on the hospital bed, so just stay with him please and take it easy."
