Eternity

Then there was an immediate frenzy of noise.

"Oh my god Taehyun did you steal that?"

"That doesn't make sense-"

"But my power still works?"

"I swear I did not put that in there-"

"Oh god, what if we break it?"

"What happened to keep quiet?"

"Forget that he has a fucking-"

"Language!"

"Shut up!" Yuna snapped, and everyone stopped. Then she turned to Taehyun.

"Explain."

"I have no idea, it wasn't in there last night-"

"Namjoon. He patted your back. What if he-"

"How could he do that?"

"Well, his power is matter manipulation, he could have had it popped it out from his arm-"

"In his arm? Like literally in his arm?"

"Forget about that," Taehyun brushed off, "What's important now is that we keep it safe and finish our-"

"Mission?" Kai slotted in.

Jisu made a face, "We're not, like, secret agents or something."

"Would you prefer the word quest?"

"Don't think about that," Yeji said, "Let's just get out of here."

Groups of gifted had been captured (of course not all, some managed to escape), including some of the leaders, who were brought forward to face the scowling generals. Orders had been made to round all the gifteds up, and the orbs had been safely transported to some top-secret location. One of them peered down at Jimin, whose eyes flashed defiantly. "Is this all?" The man asked as he turned to look at his subordinates, "I thought there would be more." The men nervously shifted behind him, "We were unable to find the ten that had broken into our base the last time, but we found the thirteen that we had last time."

(Seokmin wrinkled his nose, "No more flour, though?")

Jimin glared at the humans, "You probably have many other things to worry about, don't you? I hope your math is good, because there are five orbs."

At that moment, every single soldier froze, their eyes swivelling to their superiors without turning their heads, their mental gears turning as they added the numbers up. The generals eyed one another, mild anxiety building up between them. Then one barked a laugh, "Doesn't matter, we'll break them anyways, what's one more that can be easily found?"

A coy smirk tugged at Jimin's lips, "Maybe, but that means someone has it, doesn't it? The question is, who? And how are you going to find it?"
