The rest of the day Taehyung spent in denial. Whatever Leah had thought she was saying back there at breakfast, he just knew for a fact that this was straightup bullshit. He was no gate or anything to hell, or to anything else. Taehyung was a human being, a smart one who made it to space academy to create superhumans, an intelligent boy meant to help in getting the world back under human's control. This was the only thing Taehyung was, a human being. And whatever that crazy bitch had been saying was ripped far out of nothing, with no proof at all.

At least he tried to calm himself down with repeatedly telling his beating heart that.

What bothered him though was how he started seeing Jungkook after this conversation. Suddenly the tension and the affection towards this boy had vanished and Taehyung could feel nothing but hatred. Everything had went down the second he pressed that damn button that gave Jungkook life. All the students were suspecting him to be crazy, the teachers didn't trust him at all and there was nothing he was working for anymore. No goal to achieve, all thanks to Jungkook and his psychotic behavior.
The younger boy however did not seem to notice the change in Taehyung's attitude. The anger that was constantly written all over Taehyung's face that made all the others jump away just by the mere sight of him, Jungkook couldn't see it.

That's when Taehyung once more realised that Jungkook wasn't human at all. He couldn't read emotions. When Taehyung yelled at him to let him go to the bathroom on his own, Jungkook tilted his head and did not understand why Taehyung was yelling. When he found Taehyung sobbing in the bed at night, Jungkook would bit his lips, not knowing what to say.
It seemed as if the only thing Jungkook knew how to feel was pleasure.
And it started to piss Taehyung off, he wasn't sure why but every action of Jungkook, it was simply annoying and he kept telling Jungkook to stop whatever he was doing.

Kook always behaved, expressions dropping whenever he had to go back to calmly sitting on one spot and got forbid to talk.
But of course he wouldn't ask what was wrong, because he couldn't understand that something was indeed wrong.

More than anything Taehyung wished for someone to talk to him about all of this now, someone who would be able to get how frustrating this was. To be held responsible for things that weren't even his fault. He did not want any of this. All he wished for was to finally be able to bring his superhuman to life and get to the next level of his studies.
Never he wished to be special or outstanding-, especially not in such a bad way.

"Taehyung", a harsh voice made the boy look up from the wall he was staring at. He had been sitting on one of the hallways during the afternoon, bored because he wasn't allowed to join classes anymore. "What's with you? Get up and go to your room", it was Namjoon who gave Taehyung new orders in a more than just unfriendly voice.
"Why?", Taehyung snapped angrily, "Can't I be where I want anymore now as well?"

Namjoon sighed, "It's for your own safety, Taehyung", he tried to explain, sideglancing Jungkook who sat awkwardly next to Taehyung and looked up at Namjoon with a gaze that looked a little glassy. As if he wasn't really looking, he was just staring while thinking very hard.
"I can't see any immediate danger", Taehyung replied, sounding upset. Namjoon once more looked at Jungkook. The boy had his head tilted now, his hair falling softly above his eyes while he started grinning when he caught Namjoon's stare.
That was enough to make Namjoon grumble a weary "Whatever", and leave hastily.

Taehyung threw a mad glare at Jungkook who flinched at Taehyung's stare and immediately looked to the ground. "You scare everyone away from us, you do realize that, right?", the older lost it and did the one thing he usually refused to do, letting it out on Jungkook.
"Isn't that right?", Jungkook asked confused, "You have me, that's enough", he said with the evil smirk plastering his pretty lips once more. Taehyung had to pinch himself to not fall for the evilness as he always did, it used to give him a tensed feeling all over his body whenever he saw the evilness shining through Jungkook's eyes.
But he had enough for today, his expression darkened and he got up from the floor, "No. That's not enough. I'm human. I need social interaction."

Jungkook jumped up as well, trying to clinge on Taehyung's arm but the boy pushed him off harshly, "You want other humans around you?", the younger asked softly. "Namjoon?", he added, head tilted, a thinking expression getting over him.

"That'd be a fucking start! Maybe I'd get back into classes then. But you ruined even that for me. I'm stuck with you and everybody hates me for it", Taehyung ranted, ruffling his hair as he headed towards their room, ready to lock himself in there and just be angry and lonely for the rest of the day.
He didn't even want Jungkook's attention for once. Just being left alone, he desired that the most right now.

"Jungkook can make that alright", the boy told himself, "He can bring Namjoon to Taehyungie", he agreed with himself and then walked off.
Taehyung looked after the boy a little startled, wondering if he should be worried or just not care. But honestly? What was there more to lose anyway? Jungkook could literally blow this place up and nothing would change. He was nothing than an outsider now anyways.

So Taehyung walked off to his dormitory and ignored the concerned feeling that crept up his back.
He forgot one thing that was still there to lose though, it was called Jungkook.

Smell of blood woke Taehyung up this night when Jungkook finally returned to their room. It was pitch black inside the room, darkness comforting Taehyung during his dreams but with the smell of blood this darkness got creepy instantly. He reached for the button to turn the lights on, at the same time afraid of what he was going to see.
"I'm back!", Jungkook beamed excitedly.

The lights went on and Taehyung saw Jungkook dragging a dead body into the room, smiling proudly. "I brought you company!", he cheered and his cheeks were glowing in happiness, his eyes sparkling in hope that he now made Taehyung happy with him again.
But everything vanished from Taehyung's face, color, expression, emotion. It was all gone when his eyes gazed towards Jungkook's eyes, staring at him in pure horror.

"W-what have you d-done", he stuttered, arms dropping down on the mattress which he had still been holding up at the light button.
"You said you wanted humans around you", Jungkook explained confused, "You said you wanted Namjoon-"

"I-", Taehyung was shaking in anger and horror, "I didn't mean dead Namjoon."

His eyes landed on Namjoon who laid there, his body pale and motionless, eyes rolled upwards and death obviously having taken over him.
Taehyung saw a knife stuck to his throat, it was the knife Jungkook always carried around. Kook dropped the corpse and then sat down on the bed, looking at it for a while, "You have no idea what you just did", Taehyung said. He couldn't think or even react, this couldn't be real.

"I thought then you would like me again", Jungkook explained.

"You killed the only fucking person who could have brought us back to earth you fucking idiot", Taehyung yelled out, his emotions finally coming back for him, horror being replaced by pure terror.
"Don't you feel bad at all!? Namjoon was a good human being! You killed him and for what? You fucking dumb stupid-"

Jungkook flinched at every insult Taehyung was throwing at him, "So you don't like me again", he commented, completely unbothered by the dead body.

"How on earth", Taehyung inhaled deeply, staring right in Jungkook's brown doll- eyes. "Could I like a monster like you?"

Jungkook looked at him, not understanding why Taehyung was so mad. But when he said monster, that made his heart drop painfully, making him clutch his hand to his chest in shock, squeaking out "Ouch-, what was that-"

Taehyung couldn't hold himself back, "Your heart? Does it ache? It aches when I call you monster but it doesn't ache when you kill someone? Fuck Jungkook, you are so messed up!"

"What do you want, Taehyungie? Tell me what you want I do it all, please", Jungkook was now begging for Taehyung to be nice and calm again, the anger thrown at him giving him a strange feeling in his chest. He was sure he had never 'felt' anything like this before, and he hated the pain it caused inside of him.

"I want you to be gone", Taehyung yelled, "I want you to be the one lying here, not Namjoon! You mess everything up."

"I-", Jungkook stuttered, looking down to the floor, "I tried to do the right thing, I promise."

"Killing someone is never the right thing!", Taehyung spit out, getting more pissed off with every second, "You're crazy. You should not be alive, you were the biggest mistake I ever made. I should've listened when people first told me to get rid off you."
And with that he turned around and grabbed the dead arm of Namjoon to pull the body over to his wardrobe, trying to hide it in there before anyone would find it.

"M-mistake?", Jungkook tilted his head.

"Shut the fuck up", Taehyung snapped, "You have no idea what you just did."

"I don't understand", Kook whined, voice breaking.

"You just killed the most important person on this ship, Jungkook", Taehyung turned around, trying to say this as camly as possible.
"But you are still alive", Jungkook argued, looking at him with his big innocent eyes that made Taehyung's tummy turn. How could someone look so sweet but be so evil?

"We're screwed, Kook."

Jungkook looked onto the floor, looking horribly bothered all out of a sudden.
"Don't follow me", Taehyung yelled as he walked towards the door, needing to walk around the ship for a bit, space from Jungkook was the only thing able to calm him down for now.
Jungkook stayed behind, nodding silently.

And when the door fell shut, Jungkook felt something wet run down his cheek, making him flinch in confusion. "What is this", he squeaked out and touched the wet spot it left behind.
"Why does I have pain inside me", Jungkook said, touching his cheek again where more and more wet spots were left behind. "I thought there is only outside pain-"

The boy panicked when he realized he had no fucking clue what this was that just came out of his eyes.
"Taehyungie", he let out, rushing over to the bed to hid beneath the blanket, "Explain", he said and suddenly felt really helpless without his knife and without Taehyung being around.

"E-explain p-please"
