enjoy a very late update as always

"What do you mean with that, Jungkook?" Taehyung had not moved an inch since the last thing Jungkook had said. Not that he already knew what Jungkook meant, he just didn't want it to be true at all. So he was hoping for the boy to give a different answer than he was expecting. 

Which wouldn't happen. The younger only smirked way too bright and stepped closer, "Have you never asked yourself where I went? We spent all the time together, TaeTae!" 

"Shut up." 

"It's when you started working on your project", Jungkook kept talking, brushing softly along Taehyung's arm, "You didn't need me anymore, because you were busy making me real." 

"Be quiet." 

Taehyung pressed his hands onto his ears, looking away from the boy who kept stepping closer, now whispering to his ear, "We both know you would have been smart enough to make it in the first try. But that wouldn't have turned out to be me then, right? It needed 666 tries." 

"You're crazy", Taehyung yelled out, "You left me because I grew up. And you're not back now, you're just playing with my mind right now, Kook. Stop it, you are not him." 

"I'm not him, that's right. But he's me." 

"Get away from me", Taehyung groaned, pushing Jungkook off who kept clinging onto Taehyung, wrapping his arms around him to hold onto him. 

"I'm your best friend! Why are you so mean to me?", Jungkook asked innocently, "I've always been there for you." 

"You weren't even there for real", Taehyung said sharply. "All you've ever been was imagined. In my head. You weren't real." 

"But look at me, I'm real now, aren't I?" 

"You are a fucking experiment for school and nothing more than that", Taehyung said and started walking straight ahead, even deeper into the forest. He just wanted to get out of this room, it scared him because he had no clue what was simulated and what was real. 

"Then tell me one thing", Jungkook chuckled, "How am I just an experiment when I know why your parents killed themselves?" 

"Shut up!", Taehyung started running, trying to get away from the boy but Jungkook just kept following him. 

"It's okay, TaeTae! We didn't mean to drive them crazy~" 

"They weren't crazy." 

"But you were. And they couldn't stand it", Jungkook giggled, grabbing Taehyung's hand. "I can imagine how scary it must have been to them. To have their own son talking to an imaginery friend all the time."

"Please stop", Taehyung begged, "Stop." 

"Talking so much to him that you end up killing your own brother after he was born", Jungkook smiled, "Just because you were scared he would take me away from you. My sweet little TaeTae, you should have known that I will never leave you." 

Taehyung stopped instantly, turned around and then grabbed Jungkook by his neck, "If you won't shut up now I will kick your ass of the spaceship." 

"You'll create me again", Jungkook shrugged, "I'll always be by your side." 

"You're a fucking creep, Jungkook."

"So are you, TaeTae"

"Stop with the nickname! I'm not five anymore", Taehyung whined, letting go of the younger. He then plopped down on the ground and just started sobbing, "Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. I didn't knew back then with my brother. I didn't knew when I created you into a real person. I just-" 

"That's fine. Being captured in space all your life does things to your head", Jungkook said calmly, "We're all a little crazy inside, don't worry." 

"I slept with my friend's girlfriend and I don't even remember doing that", Taehyung sighed, "It's like someone else is taking over my body." 

Jungkook smiled, "You know what they say? Once a child stops seeing the demons, it's because they found their way inside." 

Taehyung looked away, "I think I'm a good person. Why did I created a superhuman that's purely evil?" 

"There's never just good or bad", Jungkook smirked, "We all have a dark side. Yours is just a little darker than others." 

"What about you? There is nothing good about you. You are literally the devil in person", Taehyung commented but only earned a smile by Jungkook. "Isn't that a good thing?" 

"No, Jungkook. It's not." 

"There is good about me", Jungkook hummed a little offended, "I would share my pizza with you." 

"You wouldn't share with anyone else though. If some random person asked you to share your pizza you would probably kill them straight away for even having the audacity to ask." 

"Well but I would share with you-" 

"That's because you're my creation", the boy sighed, "I would never create something that's dangerous to myself." 

Jungkook shrugged and then shyly grabbed Taehyung's hand, "Didn't you miss me? All these years?" 

"No" 

"We were best friends." 

"You haunted me every goddamn night and kept me from sleeping", Taehyung reminded Jungkook of those old times. 

Back then things had been different on the ship. The academy didn't exist yet, there was a huge crisis because everyone knew that the resources they had would end in a couple of decades. No solution was found yet, many families starved and children were isolated in their rooms. Like Taehyung. His parents sometimes didn't bring him food for days, because they simply couldn't afford it. There was not a lot of interaction going on, people killed each other just so there was less population but more food. 

Those were horrible times. 

And between all of this, Taehyung, a little five year old boy who had no one to talk to. So as kids always do, he created his own friend. Someone who would always be there for him. Someone only loving and caring about him. 

Just that he never considered that no one else could see his friend. People called him crazy, his parents took him to doctors and some even said to push him into space because no one wanted a crazy child around. 

It got lonelier.

Taehyung only had Jungkook but the longer he got isolated the creepier his version of Jungkook became. Sometimes he imagined him to be out there killing everyone so it would just be him and Jungkook forever. There was nothing he wanted more than being alone with Jungkook. 

When his little brother got born, Taehyung felt an anger inside of him that he didn't knew he could feel. Something that crawled over him and made him do things he would never actually want to do. All with one thing in mind; what if his little brother would be Jungkook's new friend? 

Once he got rid off the baby, his parents couldn't take it anymore. 

It was just Taehyung from that day on. 

Jungkook never showed up again without saying goodbye. Maybe it was for the best, but maybe that day was what pulled Taehyung back into reality. Losing his parents was something he never imagined to happen. Especially not at such a young age. 

With Namjoon things got better, he had someone real. A person that took care of him, fed him and believed in him. He never got called crazy again. And once he started working on his experiment, he had already forgotten about his dear old friend. 

The one who sat right in front of him now. 

Alive and breathing, in flesh and blood. 

With only one goal in mind;

killing everything and everyone. So it'd be just Taehyung and him. 

There was a beeping sound, everything went black and when they woke up again, they were back in front of Room Number One. 

"Congratulations, you made it through the first step." 

Namjoon had the brightest smile on his face but Taehyung couldn't smile at all. 

He had just realized what he had done. 

He created a monster.
