Fallen in Time

EPISODE 3

"Men from the Royal Army respects him and things highly of him though," Yoongi spoke up about the matter at hand and he put his weight on his right leg whilst crossing his arms.

"But the number of people who thinks that he got his position because of bias and connection with the General outweighs the population of the Royal Army," Jin pointed out.

"Hundreds of warriors his age refuse to see him as an equal despite his capabilities as an Elite warrior here. Poor boy," Hoseok glowered after a heavy sigh left his mouth.

"He must feel hurt and lonely. Left out even. Despite us being here for him," Jin frowned.

"I don't know about you guys, but Taehyung is still young—younger than us. There is still a great difference of having friends his age."

Jungkook clenched his hands into fists as he listened to what his hyungs have to say. He was beyond shocked. He was pissed off and his urge to rage was on the brink of surfacing.

What Namjoon reported to the General was news for him. He mentally cursed all those people who dare hurt Taehyung with words, dirty looks, and cold treatment. He also cursed at himself for being oblivious about this situation. But even if he was now made aware, he couldn't do anything to help without resorting to threats and violence.

After all, Jungkook couldn't possibly understand the feeling of being discriminated just because of being more superior than the rest at such a young age.

His case was different from Taehyung's.

When Jungkook made the Royal Army at 16, two years younger than Taehyung's age now, everyone was impressed and ecstatic for him to be part of the Elites. The respect he gained in his first few months of just training, tripled when he became the youngest warrior to be an Elite.

That was all because the Jeon Clan were known for their long lineage of respectable and powerful Elite warriors. All members of the Jeon Clan were Elites. They all made it into the Royal Arm no later than the age of 20, Jungkook being the youngest amongst the Jeons to train at the institute and making it into the Third Elites at his Royal Army Investiture.

It was expected of him to excel at everything even at a young age. His family name came with automatic respect.

Thus, Jungkook had no idea what Taehyung was feeling and how difficult he has it.

Jungkook was familiar with the heavy feeling of loneliness and exclusion after one fateful night three years ago though. He knew those too well and still feels it on some nights. So, he must be there fore Taehyung for the younger to lessen the burden of such emotions.

Jungkook was about excuse himself so he can follow Taehyung when the General spoke up again.

"Namjoon. Seokjin," Junmyeon called out the two as he turned to the opposite way where Taehyung stormed off to.

"Go," Junmyeon ordered with just one word, but the two of them already knew what he meant.

"I can go instead of them—"

Jungkook stepped up but Namjoon suddenly blocked him, halting him from going after Taehyung. Namjoon simply shook his head and looked back at the General to emphasize that it was the General's words, their superior's orders.

"Focus on your priorities," Junmyeon looked at Jungkook.

"And get back to work. All of you," Junmyeon walked off, dismissing the rest of them with just that.

"We'll make sure he's okay," Jin comforted the concerned young warrior as Namjoon stepped away from Jungkook, in hopes of lightening up the Demon's now brooding mood.

"Let's go Jin," Namjoon called out as he started to walk away.

The tension was lifted when it was just now two Demons and a Werewolf left at the field.

"What a reunion," Yoongi let out a tired sigh.

"I just don't understand why can't Yi-hyung return here and make things easier between the General and Taehyung?" Hoseok whined.

"Taehyung needs him more than ever since—for some still unknown reasons, only he can understand that boy. It has been three years already. He needs to come back—I mean this is his home."

"I am assuming that it is not easy for him to come back to the place where a former lover is, hyung," Jungkook pointed the well-known fact among the people who knows the General personally.

"Then there is that fact that he just suddenly left the General without so much a choice on the latter and practically disappeared from our lives here at the institute. He left Junmyeon hyung alone to care for Taehyung."

"Speaking of leaving people all of a sudden," Yoongi spoke up and lazily placed an arm over the shoulders of the younger Demon.

"How dare you ditch us earlier—you annoying little shit," Yoongi placed Jungkook in a choke hold, but the skillful warrior got out of it easily. Not before his hair was ruffled and messed up by his hyung though.

"Yeah! You left us to spar with five top-tiered troops! You know how those men can be monsters during sparring. Yet you still left us to deal with them," Hoseok clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"Just so you can stalk your little lover," Hoseok added, his lips curved into a amused smile.

"Let's go and spar then with Jungkook now. To make up for the time he deliberately skipped," Yoongi ruffled Jungkook's hair again to which he received a light shove in response.

"Perhaps another time, hyung," Jungkook fixed his hair and casually placed his hands inside the side pockets of his standard uniform of black trousers.

Jungkook then rushed to walk away from the two.

"Aish! But you heard the General!" Hoseok called out in disbelief.

"He said focus on your priorities and—yah! Jeon Jungkook!" Yoongi's voice boomed when Jungkook only gave a mocking salute whilst he replied:

"You know who my priority is, hyung!"
