Chapter 2

"JEON JEONGGUK, I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL!"

Taehyung was a late bloomer. His powers triggered when he was forced into a mental turmoil by yours truly, Jeon Jeongguk.

Mr. Jeon was a dedicated Regular worker of the government and Mrs. Jeon was always working round the clock in one of the Regular's hospitals, secretly using her powers to diagnose diseases without expensive machines and extravagantly useless tests. They barely had time for themselves let alone spare some for Jeongguk. He never wanted to be a burden on his family so when Mrs. Kim proposed that Jeongguk spent his holidays with them-nearly 7 years ago-he agreed. Jeon Jeongguk was nothing less than a permanent member of their family now.

When Jeongguk had returned from his new college, acting all mighty and cool, Taehyung tried his best to ignore him and not be jealous. But it was not easy to ignore how Jeongguk smelled like fresh coconuts, snow and sweet carrots; it was not easy to ignore how his eyes sparkled at the mention of Iron Man; or when his mother would give him 'Banana Milk' and Jeongguk would smile his precious smile. Nevertheless, Jeon Jeongguk was heartache, a headache and an ache in the crack of his ass. Therefore, something in his mind had convened Taehyung to 'hate' Jeongguk.

Ignorance came easier with Jimin.

The pretty little ginger-head brought along with him all the grievances from Day School and they would just sit in the living room, heads joined together, focusing on how to calculate the price of one pencil when the price of eighty pencils was a hundred and sixty.

Sometimes Taehyung would be standing on the crème colored sofa, pretending to be one of the characters from his English text book, eloquently wording out the dialogues while letting his imagination free and Jimin would sit on the carpet like a marveled spectator and Jeongguk would stare at them from afar, being bitter for not knowing what in heaven was so special about The Mulberry bush or who in Merlin's name was Juliet.

Sometimes Taehyung and Jimin would be engrossed in long, deep conversations about a comic that teenagers were supposed to be obsessing over, or just playing a board game alone, and Jeongguk would feel his gut tickle with an unknown feeling; like his heart was being tugged at and his body wanted nothing more than to just rip itself in shreds. Was he going crazy already?!

Unfortunately, this happened to be one of those crazy moments. The moment when Jeongguk became Taehyung's trigger.

Jimin was busy doing an art project with Taehyung-Taehyung was pretty hyped on painting Strawberry Short Cake-and all was cool and chill when they both were sitting at least a light saber's length apart. Jeongguk was all smiles, sitting on the dining table with his head on his arms and an opened 'History of Merlin's Magic' book underneath them.

But when Taehyung clumsily jerked his hand and red paint got splashed on Jimin's face, Taehyung closed that Light Saber's distance to wipe those blotches off his best friend's pretty face, with his sleeve. Jeongguk was ferociously tonguing his cheek, breathing heavily at that point. Control. Jin-hyung told you to have self control! But when suddenly Taehyung and Jimin seemed to have started some sort of paint war and Jimin ended up straddling a giggling Taehyung-Jeongguk lost it.

He picked up the glass jug from the dining table and threw the water on both Jimin and Taehyung. And some of it also got splashed on Taehyung's pretty little painting.

Jeongguk did NOT meant any harm...it's just that he acted on instinct and ended up making a mess out of it. Taehyung's presence was no better addition to the equation of Jeongguk's awful decision making ability and a lame fate that was destined to follow him everywhere.
