#12 - Truth

Hoseok's POV

"Of course she can heal, it makes perfect sense!" Jimin casually says, staring at us all with a smile on his face.

I know for a fact that he completely forgot that Talia could gain healing powers, like the rest of us did. He can't fool me.

His smile then fades into concern, glancing at Irene laying down on the sofa asleep. "Irene's injury is pretty bad, you really think Talia can do it?"

Yoongi gives him a look. "Jimin, she brought back Nari from the dead. I don't think she'll have a problem with healing two broken legs."

Jimin realises it's true, and rubs the back of his neck in embarassment. Gazing at all of us, his facial expression then drops into a confused one.

"Where's Taehyung?"

Furrowing my eyebrows, I also take a glance around the room. All of us are standing in here, all of us except Taehyung.

Why isn't he here?

"He left." Jungkook mutters, making all of us snap out gazes to him.

What?

"Why would he leave?" Yoongi breathes.

"Because he blames himself for everything. He said that none of this would've happened if it wasn't for him. So he thought that by leaving, everything would go back to the way it was." Jungkook explains to us in a low voice.

My shoulders slump. "But...he didn't say goodbye."

Jungkook nods. "He said that if he did, he wouldn't want to leave."

Oh. Makes sense.

"As much as he is, Taehyung isn't our main concern for now. Right now our main concerns are Irene, Talia, and who the hell this new black widow is." Namjoon announces, getting our heads back onto the same page.

I can't believe Taehyung just left like that. Without atleast saying goodbye to us too. I understand what he means, but he can't seriously be blaming himself for all of this. We both know that none of this was his fault - it was this black widow's doings.

Namjoon has placed Nari on one of the sofas in Jungkook's living room. We're all gathered together in here; we can't risk leaving Nari in her room, alone. She still asleep, but should come around soon.

"Yeah, yeah you're right." Jungkook clears his throat and looks at Irene lying down on the opposite sofa to Nari.

Talia peers her head at us all from standing behind me. I gently usher her towards Jungkook, who's standing next to Irene's sleeping self.

"Do you really think I can do it?" She asks, whilst looking up at Jungkook.

Jungkook crouches down to her level and nods. "Just put your hands onto her legs, like this."

He take her hands in his and places them directly onto Irene's wounds, covered up by the bandages Jimin wrapped around them.

"And close your eyes. Think about Aunt Irene walking normally, and seeing her in less pain."

Talia nods, and takes a deep breath in though the nose, and closes her eyes. As she does so, the wound starts to glow and slowly close up. It takes all of the blood seeping on the bandages back inside her body, where it belongs.

This causes Irene to suddenly open her eyes and awaken with a soft gasp. As she sits up, she instantly becomes confused whilst staring at all of us staring at her.
