Elementals : Story of Colours || Jin

05 - Count On

...

"They are not wrong"

...

At four in the evening, Jin cursed himself and he cursed Jungkook. First for him because he didn't ask of where to meet for their practice, second because Jungkook didn't tell him although he didn't ask.

So now, how is he supposed to find Jeon Jungkook in this big academy? He didn't even have Jungkook's phone number to call so does his other housemate.

Jin spent almost an hour searching every place that is on his mind and finally he met Jungkook at the the back of the academy, the place is some kind of a field but no one is there, there's a huge forest there too behind the field but Jin knows better to not step into it.

"What took you so long? It was supposed to start at four" Jungkook asks, clearly annoyed.

"You didn't tell me the location dumb ass" Jin spits when he heard Jungkook's tone.

"You didn't ask" he replies.

Oh wow, the tendency to do that.

"Scratch that, we have better things to do. Who is going to start first? You or me?" Jungkook asks.

Well since Jin couldn't even get a good grab to do his balancing power yet, he figure it out that he should learn from Jungkook before his turn.

"You" Jin replies.

He nods.

"Alright then. First you need to focus on me. Guide your illusion well so I can focus on mine. I hope there is no such thing like what you did in the class" Jungkook says.

Jin ears turned red, he is embarrass a bit by his action in the class. It is not like he cut off his illusion power because he wanted to, it is because illusion is not his greatest power, he couldn't control it as well as the ice.

Maybe if Sir In Yoo chose his ice instead of illusion then he will be at the upper hand in this partner-shit team. Maybe Jungkook wouldn't look down on him like he actually did in class and now.

"Focus so that we can settle this as fast as we can"

Jin snorts, of course he will focus, not that he wants to spend more time with the man whom he knows clearly hate his whole existence.

Jin closes his eyes, focusing his energy and power to ease Jungkook balancing his power. The green glow started to show more instead of the small circle. It's becoming bigger, the poison power with the help of Jin's illusion.

"Come here"

Jungkook is standing alone, no one besides him at the dim place where he can focus. He started to work well with his partner's illusion until the sudden stop of it. Jungkook snaps open his eyes, furious. He was about to finish but the sudden stop of his partner break all his effort.

He shots Jin a fierce glares only to see the latter looking shock. Jungkook swears he could see the man is trembling a bit.

"What the hell?" Jungkook spits.

It took Jin a few seconds before he could meet eyes with Jungkook.

"Stop playing around!"

Jin closes his eyes, trying to calm his fast beating heart beat, trying to regain his breathing pattern.

"I-I'm sorry" Jin says, his hands covering his face, wiping it.

Then, right at that moment Jungkook saw the still bruising wrist. It looks familiar to Jungkook or rather familiar to every poisoner out there. There is no doubt that it is the trace of poison, but poison wouldn't leave bruise on elementals.
