29🔥"...keep it to ourselves"

"We've never learned about witches-"

"They probably didn't want us to know about them," NamJoon interrupted, Jimin pacing the area they were in.

He had his arms crossed and was obviously freaking out, "Why would a witch be attacking us?!"

NamJoon shrugged, "I don't know, but it makes sense. Blood Magik allows you to control something and black magik can help you make them move like shadows. Fade in and out of vision, everything that happened that night. See." NamJoon handed Jimin the book, where there was a passage dedicated to shadow magik which was another raindrop on the black magik umbrella.

With the involvement of shadows you call upon the god Erebus, then, and only then, do you sacrifice a part of yourself, or something he'd want, to be able to control his creations or give your own creations apart of him.

Once this is done, your creations, or you, will be able to move like shadows, fade in and out of a persons vision, move at a speed that no other creature could. Though, there is a catch, these types of things will only work when there is light around, no light, no shadows-

"We fucked up," Jimin stated, tears gathering in his eyes, NamJoon nodded.

"When the fire elementals begin casting light around us, it made it worse and more plausible for those things to move the way they did. The Moon light can help them move like shadows, but not as quick or precise as a fire's flame or the sun light." NamJoon informed, "that's not the only thing though, keep reading."

Jimin skimmed the passage before it fell on something that had him sick to his stomach.

With the control of shadows, you may control another. The shadow must come behind them, replacing their own and becoming one with that person. This task involves light, the shadow skidding across the floor before blending into the person you want controlled. Once they are blended, you have control to do whatever you would like without consequence. You do not have to be in range of the person you want to control, you see through the shadow. You pull away by-

Jimin covered his mouth from shock, dropping to his knees.

"It's what happened to me and Jin, that's why we had no control over ourselves or our abilities." NamJoon had his head in his hands, Jimin crawling over and hugging him tight.

This was all too overwhelming for only one night.

"Joonie, maybe we should get going, you can grab a book and I will too to keep reading, but for today we should stop," Jimin suggested, Namjoon quickly agreeing.

NamJoon took the book with him about black magik while Jimin grabbed another that had to do with shadows in general.

The two walked back to where they came in from, Namjoon allowing the branches to recede. When he did, they noticed the lights were off, meaning the library was closed.

"We really stayed past closing hours?" Jimin inquired, a chuckle escaping his lips.

NamJoon used the hole to guide a branch to the other shelf, pushing it away and flipping the latch once more. That kind of ability, to control the branch without seeing where it was going, took a lot of practice though Namjoon had thankfully mastered the art of it.

Once they were out they made sure everything looked normal, putting the glued decoy books back in their spot, and began descending down the stairs.

Not expecting to hear voices behind them.

"Hoseok?"

"NamJoon?"

"Yoongi?"

"Jimin?"

They all said at once, pointing at each other.

"What are you doing here this late?" Jimin asked.

Yoongi folded his arms over his chest, "I could ask you the same thing."

NamJoon narrowed his eyes at the two, "Why are you two together?"

"Studying," Hoseok simply replied, "Saw each other and decided to study, we both ended up falling asleep." he lied, Yoongi impressed at how quick he managed to spew that out.

"And why were you-"

"How about we stop asking questions, we're all doing something we probably shouldn't be so it's best we keep it to ourselves," Yoongi stated, walking down the stairs and past the two, Hoseok following while keeping a distance from him.

NamJoon looked at Jimin, the younger saying, "He does have a point."

With those words said, all four left the library and went in their respected directions.

Wind. Earth. Fire. Frost.

Jungkook looked incredulously at the two in front of him, he and Jin having a small glaring contest.

Taehyung sat between them, clearly annoyed, "Could you two stop for a second?"

"No."

"Nope."

They stated at the same time, Taehyung sighed as he leaned back in his seat.

It was mid afternoon, the three in the gardens. Taehyung was finally going to come clean to Jungkook about his feelings for not only him, but Jin as well.

"Kookie," Taehyung called softly, Jungkook automatically looking in his direction, "I need to tell you something."

"So why does he have to be here?"

"Because it involves him-"

"How?"

"If you'd let him speak you'd know," Seokjin snapped, Taehyung placing his hand on Jin's shoulder to calm his nerves down and did the same to Jungkook.

"Can you two please calm down, for me?" Taehyung pleaded, both finally sighing and nodding.

"Jungkook, you are well aware I like you," Jungkook's expression turned smug before it quickly faltered, "But I like Jin too."

Jungkook blinked a few times before going, "What?"

"I know, it's weird, but I do. I like you two equally as much, you both have qualities I love and qualities I'm not too fond of, for example, the fighting. You see, I don't know what to do, because you both like me but hate each other, and even if you didn't you're two completely different abilities that can't make contact. So I don't know what to do," Taehyung confessed, SeokJin already having heard this and Jungkook processing it.

His mind going haywire.

While Jin remained calm.

"What if- we took turns with you?" Jungkook suggested.

Jin scowled, "He's not an object, dickhead."

"Well do you have a better idea, asshat?!" Jungkook retaliated.

Taehyung sighed, obviously annoyed.

He had no clue what to do about his crush on polar opposites, not only in initial personality, but in ability too.
