10. Hidden Corner & Split Truth

While the semi-awkward and high-intensity dinner came to an end, Jin was already freaking out internally on how should he ease the only angel among them in the presence of the now mortals. Time was proven right when Taehyung brought his boyfriend and the other couple to the living room to start a movie he was dying to watch.

"By The DIVINE! Jin! Why did you not tell me that both Jimin and Yoongi will be present?"

"It was a last-minute arrangement Hobi-..."

"Did I look ok? I mean like a human? I mean was I being awkward Angel Jin? Do you think my hair was weird? I took the dark hair look this time around not the-..."

"Angel Hope, calm down. I get it. You lovers are here and you're getting paranoid." Jin rolled his eyes are he placed the towel on the kitchen counter finishing up the dishes after dinner.

"By the Angel. They are not my lovers." The shade of pink decorating Angel Hoseok's face betrayed the archangel as Jin shake his head.

"You do you boo."

"Boo? What does that mean? By the Divine, Angel Jin you know I am no expert in the worldly vocabulary."

Jin shrugged it off as he asked Angel Hope to follow him to his room. With the couples cosily settling in the living room for their movie night, Jin reckoned it's the best time to discuss certain issues with Angel Hoseok in private.

Once the former angel brought Angel Hoseok to his room, he closed the door carefully silencing the chatters and laughter of the four males who seemed to be enjoying whatever they have decided to play on the screen. It should keep the youngers occupied while he has his conversation with Angel Hoseok.

"Angel Hope, you saw Jungkook?"

Angel Hoseok nodded as he settled on the bed allowing his golden light to take a peak shining out of his body as he couldn't hold back his heavenly glow for long. One good thing out of this will mean that it shall provide them warmth and comfort while they have their conversation.

"Did you...sense anything?"

Angel Hoseok looked at the former archangel. He knows that Jin is having his doubt about the strange happenings and with Taehyung being so concerned about his flashes of dark images and scary revealings, there can only mean one thing.

The return of the darkness.

"I know I have a prophecy that the darkness will return and we shall fight as 7."

Angel Hoseok sighed loudly as his heavenly glow dimmed with each passing second. "But I have no clue what will we do and in fact how will we fight as 7 Angel Jin. I took a look at Jungkook and I can not sense any unusual aura around him."

Initially, the Highest Archangel doubted that Jungkook might be touched by the root of his darkness and he might be summoned to return as the King of Darkness. After all, the man was born and breed in evil before he was purified by the pure love of Taehyung, the Prince of Light.

"There is nothing evil about Jungkook? Are you sure?"

"Positive. I can sense nothing in the presence of Jeon Jungkook. If he is the one we are suspecting the darkness of the hell has touched, I will be sure to sense it Jin." Hoseok was confident that he will be able to sense the aura of the devil if it lingers among the males he knows.

"It will be too easy for the darkness to touch Jungkook and we would have known about it with a glimpse. I believe it's not Jungkook then." Jin concluded for he too thinks it might have been the raven head but he would have been an easy target.

The duo buckled on the conversation on the strange things happening around Taehyung and how the younger was freaking out in things he spots. From the dust of black and the changes in the eyes of Jungkook.

"Do you think we should kind of inform Taehyung about this?"

"Angel Jin, I know for us to talk about this might sound very normal. It might not if we bring it up to normal human-like Tae and Jungkook."

Angel Hoseok was certain that this side of the reality will only freak Taehyung out even more than the trauma that the poor boy is facing.

"But Hobi, how long should we hide behind the doors and talk about this when everything is happening so fast out there? I can easily tell you that whatever dark force out there born from hell is not far from ruining me and the boys."

"By the Divine! I will not let that happen."

"That is the thing Hoseok, it's not about you letting it happen. It is happening. We have no weapon this time. We have no force of light in our arena to win the damn fight. We don't have Taehyung and his natural celestial powers."

Jin was on the verge of screaming but managed to keep his tone low as he dare not to alert the boys in the living room.

After a moment of agonizing silence, Angel Hoseok said a prayer before letting out a sigh of disappointment. "Jin, do you think we will lose the battle this time around?"

The dreaded question ran like poison down Jin's throat. Centuries of living as an archangel and the celestial of the heavenly realm did not prepare the former angel to face the day of the dooms. He did not see it coming nor did he wish to envision the day where they have to bow to the darkness which means nothing but evil.

"By the Divine, I hope I don't live to see that day Angel Hoseok."

Nervousness and anxiousness are often there to protect you. It's a protective mechanism that aims to keep you alert and aware. In this scenario, with the celestial being and the former angel discussing quietly in their shared space, another pair of ears that eavesdropped felt the beat of his heart accelerating.

"They knew?" The man who was hearing the conversation from the beginning until the end from the other side of the door shuddered with the realisation that the truth shall be spilt. Very soon. He quietly retrieved his steps away from the room when he noticed no more conversation took place inside the room.

With a heavy heart and tangled mind, the said male exited the spot, leaving his trace unknown.

.

"The movie was a banger. Is Jin asleep?" Yoongi stretched out with little Jimin on his lap, fast asleep as he looked over to the other couple. A small smile appeared on his lips when he saw Taehyung was nuzzled against his boyfriend lost in his dreamland.

"I guess so?" Jungkook shifted carefully, fully aware that Taehyung hates to be awakened in the middle of his sleep.

"I guess I will take the couch with Jimin. You can carry Tae to the room. Good luck with that by the way." Yoongi chuckled lowly as he knows the tendency of crankiness Tae can show if he is disturbed in his sleep.

Jungkook rolled his eyes and saluted Yoongi before swiftly carrying his lover in his strong arms. Even though Taehyung is similar in height to Jungkook, but the silver head has always been lighter than the feather in the ravenette's arm.

He loves carrying Taehyung everywhere they go making the other feel like a baby. All these little gestures are the things that flutter Tae's heart to still have the love of his life by his side despite the terrible work schedule the two share from work.

"Uff, my baby is asleep. How adorable."

Jungkook pecked the sleeping male's pouty lips as soon as he gently placed the silver head on the bed. The raven head male traced the sharp features of his ethereal lover and hugged him close feeling the warmth radiating off Tae's body.

For some reason, Taehyung has always been the warmest between the two. On days and nights when Jungkook needed comfort, Tae is always there as the shining light and the warm like the sun. On a contrary, Tae has always complained that Jungkook tends to get colder as ice and jokes that Jungkook might be an incarnation of the ice-cold devil from hell.

Again, where is the lie?

"Sleep while you can rest peacefully Taehyungie. Time is ticking. I will not leave you alone." The raven head watched his boyfriend sleeping peacefully under the silver beam of the moonlight, accompanied by nothing but the darkness.
