10.
Taehyung sipped the whiskey slightly, letting the amber colored liquid burn his throat. He sat in his favorite spot on the penthouse apartment in the tallest residential building in seoul - a window seat by where he could see the entire city in front of him.
Something was really bothering him yet he couldn't place a finger on it. He was the devil, torturing people and getting fun out of it was his thing. But for some reason he wasn't enjoying this. Every time he did something to piss Nana off, he felt guilty when he saw her cry or break down.
He was becoming a better person and this betrayed his entire existence.
His phone flashed and he looked at the number. Swiping on the screen, he placed it near his ear.
"It better be something important"
"MASTER! JUNGKOOK"
"What happened to him?", he asked alerted.
"He was hurt. He is bleeding.. Master. Save him..."
"Shhh", he said to the person on the other side. "Stay with Jungkook, I will be there where you are"
With that he ran up to the roof. It had been a long time since he had done this. He closed his eyes as he felt his silk pajama top shred. The beautiful raven colored wings he had hidden for so long released themselves as they expanded to their majestic self.
His eyes gleamed a dangerous red before he jumped straight out of the roof and within moments he was soaring in the sky. His senses heightened even more as he scanned through the city. The loud cries became heard from a place not far from his own house and he swooped downwards. Just as he neared the ground, time froze for normal humans allowing him to land without anyone taking notice.
The female and Jungkook looked up to see him rush towards them.
"What happened? How did this happen?", he asked the female who was sobbing uncontrollably.
"He called me but didn't speak anything and I realized something was wrong. So I sensed his aura and came in to seeing him bleeding here"
Taehyung looked at Jungkook. He was bleeding black blood. This was possible only one way - dark powers just like his own. Only one person - James. A surge of anger spurted in him.
"We need to take him to the hospital", the female said.
"The hospital cannot do shit", he hissed. "We need a healer. This is dark powers. They need to be removed from his body"
"Healer?", the lady said tears still streaming down her eyes. "Where do we get a healer from?"
Taehyung closed his eyes and a face flashed right in front of his eyes. "I know one. Take him to my apartment, I will bring him"
The female nodded as Taehyung opened his wings before taking off from there.

I was sitting and watching a drama in the living room when I heard a loud banging on the front door. Scared, I dropped my popcorn. The banging happened once again as since I didn't open, the person broke the door making me scream.
What made me scream even more was a shirtless Taehyung standing there, all worked up as he came barging in.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?", I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Where is Hoseok?", he growled. It was almost at his words did the other man came rushing in to see what had happened.
"What is going on here? And you? What the hell do you think you are doing roaming shirtless at someone else's house at 2 in the night?", he directed his question to Taehyung.
"I need your help", he said to Hoseok who looked at him perplexed. "amicus indiget auxilio. Obsecro, sana eum"
(Latin : My friend needs help. Please heal him)
Hoseok's eyes widened and confusion took all over me. What third planet language was he talking in? What made me even more confused was how quickly Hoseok understood and reacted to the thing said.
"Nana, I will be back. Close the door and be safe till then", he said to me before running away along with Taehyung.
"Close the door..? That asshole broke it..", I muttered.
"How are we going?", he asked to Taehyung. The look on the later's face made him nervous as things around them froze and huge black wings propped up behind him. "Shit, I hate heights"
———•••———
Hoseok closed his eyes as he held the man's hand tightly. Chanting furiously, a white streak of energy flew from within him to Jungkook. It was a difficult job. He had to be honest. Jungkook was almost dead. Reviving an almost dead person was the toughest task a healer could do because it drained them of their own energy.
He was feeling it, the life out of him lose slowly. A stream of blood flowed down his nose making Taehyung look at him in concern. The chanting got even severe as the white light increased and became almost blinding. Soon a silence took over them as he let go of Jungkook's hand. The man who had turned completely pale and lost most blood started to return to his normal self.
"He is healed. But be aware. He isn't fully recovered yet. Make sure you let him rest. It will be a while till he gains consciousness. Let me tell you, this is some dark magic", he said wiping his nose with a handkerchief. "Who ever did it probably is very powerful. I healed him once. I might not be able to the second time"
Taehyung's jaw hardened. He looked at the female who stepped ahead. "Get Hoseok Ivy juice and something to eat. Hoseok you can rest here for tonight. We need you to be with Jungkook. If anything happens.."
"I cannot stay", he said softly. "Nana is all by herself. She hasn't been keeping well lately. I cannot leave her alone"
"I will fetch Nana then", he said standing up. He didn't even have to say a word as the woman ran to where his wardrobe was and brought out a new shirt. "Make sure nothing happens"
Hoseok nodded as he downed the liquid served to him. With that Taehyung disappeared right in front of him.
———•••———
I sat by the now broken door waiting for Hoseok to turn up. All this time sitting idly, I had only the incident revolving in my mind.
At that point both Hobi and Taehyung seemed very different to me. Call me crazy but it felt like they were aliens of some sort. And not to mention that jerk broke this door like how my cousin Namjoon once broke his new pair of sunglasses. Effortlessly.
Just when I was immersed in thoughts, a car pulled up. Half expecting it to be Hobi I stood up. Taehyung stepped out, thankfully with a shirt this time as he came to me.
"Pack some stuff you might need, you are coming with me"
"What? Where is Hobi"
"Hobi is at my place. We had a little situation. He doesn't want you to be by yourself. So you are coming to my house"
"I am not coming to your house. I am not a kid. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself", I crossed my arms.
Taehyung rolled his eyes and let out a big sigh. "I am not giving you a choice. You have 5 minutes. You either get your belongings or you come just like this - shabby"
I gasped. "Try me loser, I am not coming"
He raised an eyebrow before walking to me. Next thing I knew, he had lifted me straight in his arms as he walked towards the car.
"LET ME DOWN YOU CREEP", I shouted as I slapped his chest. Without a word, he held my hand and placed it around his neck before tightening his group on my waist.
"I SAID LET ME DOWN KIM FUCKING TAEHYUNG. I WILL ROLL YOU INTO THIS ROAD IF YOU DON'T PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANCE"
He didn't listen to me. Instead he opened the backseat and pushed me in. Before slamming the door. I immediately grabbed the handle but it was locked. He put a child lock so I wouldn't come out. I watched as he went back and picked that door up before slamming it into the hinge and fixing it like it was a feather.
The entire ride was me shouting at him and him ignoring me. We pulled up in an expensive apartment. The shutter to a room opened and he parked his car inside. Seeing the other cars, I assumed all of them belonged to him. Just how much money did this man have?
He directed me to an elevator and we got in. It was an awkward ride 60 floors up as we stopped at the penthouse. The doors opened straight to his apartment and I was amazed.
This looked like a house I had never seen before. Fit for royalty. "I know the house is amazing, but you can gape later. Hoseok is waiting"
I followed him slightly embarrassed to the living room. Hoseok was sitting with a man who was laid on the couch. He looked like a young man probably in his mid twenties.
"Nana, I am sorry but we are staying here for tonight", he said. I stepped closer to him. "What is happening Hoseok?"
"Jungkook here", he said pointing to the laid down man, "he um, is a friend of both me and Taehyung. He had an accident so we are just taking care of him"
"Shouldn't you take him to a hospital?", I asked confused. "Why is he here?"
"It wasn't much but we need to keep him in supervision. The doctor came and visited", Hoseok lied. He sighed in relief as Nana nodded in understanding. "Since Grandpa has gone to Ulsan and you were alone, we thought it was better to get you here"
I was about to say something when Taehyung cut me off. "You can take the room at the end. There are blankets there"
He pointed towards the room and I walked there. It was a huge room, almost double the size of what I had. Taehyung followed behind as he entered. "Are you going to sleep in this?", he said to my jeans and jersey. "Wait here"
He disappeared and came back later with a pile of clothes. "Wear these and return them to me later"
I scoffed. "I wouldn't even want to keep something that belonged to you"
He just stared at me for a solid 10 seconds. "The blanket is in the cupboard". With that he walked away while I went into the bathroom to get changed. It was a light grey tshirt and pair of black tracks. I put it on and it was obviously big for me. I washed my face and gargled. As I spit the water into the sink, it was a dark red.
I faltered in my steps as I looked at it wide eyed. My lips were also crimson. I wiped them to see a red streak on the back of my hand.
Just what was happening with me?
