A couple of hours passed by and Taehyung was done with his class. He managed to save Jungkook's number in his phone but does not have the courage to text the raven head boy yet.

Since Jimin is not available, Taehyung thought about grabbing something light along with the Cafe before his next class.

.

"Look, your celestial is walking to the Cafe."

The demons were still standing at the edge of the railing on the rooftop. They just don't get tired and both of them love to stay as far as they could from humans, so it's a perfect spot for them.

"I know."

"Wanna meet him again?"

"No." Jungkook replied.

"Why? I thought you were making good progress in getting into his pants?"

"Relax Yoongi, I am good with manipulating, but I can't throw myself so frequently at him. It's a push and pull game. You need to learn it gradually, and I am the master of it."

Yoongi shrugged off the demon prince's arrogant remark as he jumped down from the railing.

"Then I will pay him a visit myself."

"Why?" Jungkook does not like Taehyung but he is possessive to what is owned by him.

"To get a closer look? I agreed to stay here and help you. You're welcome dumbass."

The raven head rolled his eyes as he returned to follow the brown head's trail walking from one building to another. It only took a few seconds before he notices Yoongi was already tailing Taehyung at the back.

He decided he did not want to watch it any further so he snapped himself out of the space.

.

"Taehyungieeeeee..."

"Jimin?" Tae turned to the high pitched voice echoing the space as he grabbed onto his lunch bag.

"I thought you said you won't have lunch with me."

"I did but I got really hungry while practising dance, so I thought of grabbing a muffin."

"Muffin? Jimin, you probably want to get something heavier if you're hungry besides, a muffin is not healthy for a lunch meal."

"You do not speak of my muffin like that you little rascal. It is a heavenly blessing to have muffin any time of the day. Now get lost, I need to find my blueberry muffin."

Taehyung laughed at Jimin knowing perfectly well that his friend was not hungry, but just in need of some sugar. Jimin always consumes a lot of sugar when he practices dance.

"Ok fine, I have a lab coming up. I will quickly eat this and head off, I see you later."

The brown head left Jimin at the queue promising to meet up later. Jimin waved his friend bye and got more eager as the line was getting shorter for him to purchase his muffins.

.

"Yay finally!"

Jimin was happy with a bag of 5 blueberry muffins as he clings onto them close to his chest, making his way back to the studio.

Thump!

He was accidentally knocked off by a stranger who was running by the corridor. Probably the person was running late for class as he yelled a sorry before disappearing from the sight.

"AHHHH! ASSHOLE! MY MUFFINS. NO."

Jimin was more focused in reaching out for his muffins which are now pathetically ruined on the floor. The blond was furious and sad at the same time coz he has no time to run back to the cafe to get some more.

"Um, may I help you?"

He was busy cleaning the mess on the floor when he saw a pair of black shoes stopped in front of him.

"No, it's fine." Jimin said bitterly as he looked up to the owner of those shoes.

"Sure?"

Jimin's heart leapt a thousand feet in height when he noticed the white skin male with an icy blond looking way contrast against the black articles of clothing on his body.

"Yea...maybe just a little help?" Jimin immediately smiled innocently at the icy blond male.

"I guessed so." The said male leaned down and helped the stunning blond to clean the mess and throw the inedible muffins to the bin. Such a waste.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, it's just sad I can't have my muffins." Jimin was genuinely sad about it. He even spent 10 dollars on them, the most he is willing to spend on days he did not bug Taehyung for food.

"Oh, you wanted muffins? Here, you can have mine." The icy blond head extended a small paper bag on his hand to Jimin.

"B-but...is this blueberry muffin?"

"Indeed, blueberries muffins are the best!"

"Omg, you must be the angel sent into my life by God! I love them!!!" Jimin squeaked in delight.

"Then have it."

"No, it won't be polite. You can have them, I will get some tomorrow." Jimin wanted to accept the muffins from this hot guy he bumped into, but he can't.

"Don't be silly. Maybe tomorrow you can buy me back some?" The icy blond winked at Jimin, tempting him to accept his offer.

"Well...if you say so. Thank you...??"

"Yoongi."

"Oh, thank you Yoongi. I'm Jimin."

Yoongi nodded and quickly exchanged his number with Jimin, making sure the blond head will not turn his offer down for a little muffin date tomorrow.

Soon after, they parted ways with a happy Jimin and his muffins to the dance studio and a satisfied Yoongi in search of Jungkook.

Once Yoongi was out of sight from Jimin, he took his phone and called Jungkook.

"Listen, we need to talk."

.

.

Yoongi and Jungkook met up within minutes after the call. It honestly does not take long for them to snap their fingers without people noticing and gather around.

"What?"

"I found the anchor Jungkook."

"What? You mean Taehyung's protection anchor?"

Yoongi nodded.

"How? What it is? Is it the necklace I see him wearing all the time?"

"Nope. It's not an object, its a human."

"Human? Taehyung's anchor of protection which activates his Angel's touch is a human?"

Jungkook was nibbling his lower lips as he processes the information. Within seconds, the raven head fixed the missing puzzles as he looked at Yoongi with his eureka enlightenment.

"It's the blond isn't it?"

Yoongi nodded.

"How did you found out so soon Yoongi?"

Jungkook can't deny the fact that Yoongi is one of the most talented demon guards in the dark realm. One born decade before himself. Jungkook being the prince of demon have his perks of being a talented demon himself, coz he was born with it.

But, Yoongi trained himself to be one. Given how old Yoongi is and how long he has been serving Jungkook's father, it does not surprise the raven head how accurate Yoongi can be with his job.

"I was tailing the celestial boy to the cafe. I wanted to inspect him further when I saw him talking to the blond. You know we can sense angels or demons by the aura they radiate?"

Jungkook nodded. it is one of their own gift that they are able to identify one of their own kind as well as the angelic beings.

"When I saw Taehyung, I saw his colour changed to a golden yellow and Jimin was faintly radiating the same colour of the aura. I was very suspicious, so I watched them for a while. As soon as they departed each other, Jimin went back to radiating nothing and Taehyung carried his bright golden light."

"I have read that anchors usually are bounded to their angels. So it means the aura you're mentioning is an indication of Jimin being bounded to Taehyung as his protection? Is that why I sometimes get affected by the burn and other times it does not affect me?"

Jungkook asked as Yoongi continued to nod.

The raven head also noted on occasions that he indeed get burned, Jimin was always present around the vicinity.

"Bloody hell! Why the fck I did not think about that shorty as the anchor? I did not even notice the aura changing as you saw Yoongi."

The raven head felt a little incompetent in this matter and he hates it.

"Jungkook, there might be a lot of reasons. Firstly, you have not experienced Angel's touch, so we didn't know how it would affect you. Secondly, maybe it was powered in a way that you can't see it through your eyes as a mean to protect Taehyung, from you."

"I have never heard of a human anchor before, have you Yoongi?"

"Nope, this is the first, hence I could not figure it out sooner."

"Well good thing we know now. I guess we have to remove Jimin in order for me to get to Tae?"

"Leave that to me." Yoongi smirked.

Jungkook raised his brow in the question of the demon's sudden smirk of confidence.

"I think it's time for some play of my own. Its been so long since I last tainted a soul. My demon is asking for a human anchor now."

"Gross. And how exactly are you gonna make it work?"

"Muffin dates!"

Jungkook had no idea what Yoongi is gonna do with muffins as part of his plan, he just hopes that the older demon will serve his duty as his guard and get the distraction out of the way.

Taehyung's POV

In the middle of my lab class, I got a text from Jimin saying his mom asked him to return home as his cousin brother arrived for a visit. So I guess he won't be carpooling with me.

I took my phone again after class to finally text Jungkook asking if he is free for a coffee. To my disappointment, he apologized as he had to meet a friend from his hometown.

Sigh.

I will just head back then, maybe I can check on mom as well.

.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home."

I greeted as soon as I stepped into the living room. The TV was running its own show as dad was busy typing away his documents on the couch.

"Hi son, how was class?"

"Great, as usual. You're busy?"

"Yes, Taehyung. I did the cooking and cleaning just now for mom so I did not have the time to complete the documents. She is resting now, so I have the time."

I nodded and gave my dad a hug before running to my parent's bedroom. Gently opening the door, I saw mom was sleeping on the bed with the bandage I dressed on her wound this morning.

Slowly taking my steps to her side, I grabbed the first aid kit to clean and change her bandages again.

I guess she must be dozing off pretty heavily as she did not wake up while I was changing the plasters and redressing her wounds. She did whine occasionally, but by the time I was done, she was still asleep.

After finishing my task of cleaning her wounds, I gently stroke her arm and closed my eyes to say a prayer.

"Dear Lord and the Angels, please heal mom as I don't wish to see her in pain."

I opened my eyes and immediately yanked my hand away in surprise when I saw a very faint stroke of shimmering gold sparked from my fingertips.

What was that?

I rubbed my eyes and examined my fingers again but I see nothing.

Geez, I must have stared at the screen for too long in class that my eyes are failing me now. I kissed mom's forehead, letting her rest before joining my dad in the living room.

The night was well spent between me and dad, having dinner together, catching up on each other's missed routine.
