July, 2065
The first few training sessions weren't at all spectacular. They mainly learned the basics of using weapons they should have mastered, without Sealers using their power.
Adults didn't let them do more, because they had school.
But Jungkook and Taehyung were happy seeing Jimin more hyped up for the training session now.
With their busy school life and even more busy and tiring weekends they haven't noticed how the time passed and summer vacations came.
It wasn't what made them happy tho...
It was the end of July. In the middle of the night Taehyung, Jungkook and Jimin were woken up by the sudden commotion.
They jumped out of their beds and stopped on the top of the stairs, hearing voices and seeing the lightened ground floor.
Three friends looked at each other, almost tearing up, hearing the specific laugh. They couldn't believe their ears, so they ran downstairs.
They stopped abruptly frozen, with fastly beating hearts.
They couldn't believe their eyes either...
After almost five months...
Namjoon, Jin, Minji, Hoseok, Baekhyun and Chanyeol came back to Seoul.
The tired chatting and occasional laughs with Jiyoung and Hwasa died down suddenly when six parents noticed three boys.
For a moment nobody said anything. Nobody moved.
Then Jimin took a deep breath and screamed:
'APPA!!' and ran to Chanyeol, who caught him in the middle when he jumped on him.
Beakhyun giggled, gulping his tears and went to them to cage Jimin in their embrace.
'You got heavier...' Chanyeol teased his son.
'I'm so happy I won't even get offended by that...' Jimin mumbled with his face hidden in Chanyeol's arm.
Minji and Hoseok looked at Taehyung and Jungkook who were standing supportively next to each other. They moved at once.
Taehyung made a slight step to make room for them to embrace Jungkook, when Hoseok pulled him without a second thought into a group hug with all of them.
They became a tangle of arms. Minji reached to caress Taehyung's cheek, when Hobi was squeezing Jungkook's arms. They were talking simultaneously:
'Tae, have you even eaten?! You seem so slim!'
'Kookie, wow! you look so mature!'
'Where did you get this bruise from?!'
'The bracelets are gorgeous, you need to tell me everything!'
Jungkook and Taehyung started to giggle, but they weren't any better:
'Bruises?! You dare to say to me I have bruises, mom!!!'
'Uncle, are your legs okay?! Can you still dance?! What's with this bandaid?!'
Namjoon and Jin were looking at this with small, emotional smiles. Untill, Hoseok tearing up, moved a bit and started to wipe his eyes, with his wrists and Minji with eyes filled with tears, smacked his arm:
'Pull yourself together, Hope!!!'
'You are crying yourself!'
'I'm not crying!!!' Minji denied, offended, when the tear rolled down her cheek, betraying her shamelessly.
Hoseok let out a laugh and embraced her, when she hid her face in her hands.
Jungkook and Taehyung smiled shyly and looked at Jin and Namjoon.
Namjoon without a word spread his arms and Taehyung gulped hard and moved inside them. Jungkook stood in front of Jin, who moved bangs away from his forehead, taking in every inch of Jungkook's face with his eyes, before he leaned and kissed his forehead. Jungkook's arms circled around his waist.
'You got taller...' Jin whispered.
'You got prettier...' Jungkook mumbled.
'Omg! Don't make me cry, brat!'
Namjoon was not saying anything, he was desperately holding his eyes closed, when his arms were caging his son close to himself. His fingers were gently securing his head as when he was a baby, rocking him gently.
'You kept your promise...' Taehyung whispered, diving inside the safety of his appa's arms. 'You brought them back...'
'You kept your promise too... You've watched over them. I'm so proud of you...'
Then it was the time for Jin to babying his 17 year old son, checking if his hair was not too long or didn't he lose weight, while Taehyung just let him treat him as if he was 7, while checking his dad's condition secretly.
Jungkook in the meantime was glued to Namjoon and they both enjoyed the sight of Tae and Jin. Namjoon ruffled his hair and Jungkook raised his eyes at him showing him a bunny smile.
Somewhere between all the crowd Taehyung's and Jungkook's eyes met.
THEIR parents came back.
When they were thinking about it, they didn't think about "Jungkook's parents" and "Taehyung's parents". They were thinking about all four of them together.
Like when they were kids, all four parents came to the conclusion that they don't think about who is whose son. Jungkook and Taehyung were THEIR children.
Jungkook and Taehyung were their reflections. They stopped a long time ago diverting who is whose parents. The labels weren't important. If anyone would ask... their heart-answer was:
I have three dads and mom.
They could never express what it meant for them... That their parents never tried to change who they were for each other. Instead they were gently guiding the bond they shared in healthy, safe ways suitable for their age.
They could try to separate them. They could use their parental force to choose the things they thought will be good for them. Instead they gave them trust not control.
Each time Jungkook or Taehyung had flashbacks from their past lives... They were just grateful.
Never in eternity... they were this lucky before...
They all sat in the living room.
'The situation is stable for now, so Yongguk called us back here...' Namjoon explained.
'The army somehow is under control and indeed is helping in the city.' Minji added.
'So we took the opportunity to rest and spent holidays with you' Hoseok clapped his hands, smiling widely.
'And we were curious about how your training is going.' Jin said, looking at the boys.
'Well we usually spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in Seoul, because our dear teenagers wanted to practice dance in Hobis studio and attend music lessons with Yongguk's wife. But we were going to Mountain House for the rest of the week.' Hwasa explained.
'Hardworking as always...' Baekhyun praised them.
'We just don't like to be bored...' Jimin rolled his eyes.
'And depending on their parents' plans and schedule the rest are joining us.' Taehyung added.
'Well good that grandpa had this scary reputation, that made all of our friends' families not really opposed to training...' Jungkook giggled.
'Scary?! How am I scary?' Jiyoung asked, offended.
'You are the DRAGON.' Jimin grinned. 'One of few people in the world known for training Interdependants...'
'Well, I think it will be good if you will train for a bit with your parents. They have practical experience...' Jiyoung said, exchanging glances with Minji.
Somehow he knew Taehyung and Jungkook would open up faster with their parents around.
'Yeah... We will join you. But we need at least a week of rest...' Jin said.
'I agree... we all need a moment to catch our breath.' Chanyeol sighed.
Baekhyun was sitting on the couch with Jimin next to him. He was stroking his son's hair playfully. He looked at him.
'Want to stay here tonight, or sleep in your own room?'
'I want to go home with you... I will take my things tomorrow.'
Baekhyun nodded and stood up.
'Then take what you want and we should get going. I'm dying to sleep...'
'Aren't you tired?' Taehyung asked Jin, worried.
'A bit yeah...'
'We can talk tomorrow...' Jungkook assured them.
'So caring...' Namjoon laughed, ruffling his hair, before looking at Hwasa and Jiyoung. 'Stay here. There is no need to move for the night to Minji's place.'
'Yeah, we will end up eating breakfast here...' Hoseok giggled.
'No doubt! I missed my kitchen!' Jin looked longingly at the kitchen door.
'If it is not a problem...' Hwasa smiled at Namjoon.
'Of course not! You were taking care of this house for so long!'
'I will go unpack...' Jin stood up.
'Some of my thing are in your bag I think...' Minji frowned and went with him.
Baekhyun and Chanyeol moved to the door.
'We are in touch!' Jimin yelled to Tae and Jungkook before leaving after them.
Hwasa and Jiyoung went back to sleep.
Hobi and Namjoon somehow disappeared after their other halves as if all of them wanted to leave Jungkook and Taehyung alone.
And of course they saw Minji and Jin waiting impatiently behind the doors.
'Shhhh!!!!' Jin told them.
They pulled them inside and left a peek in the door to observe their sons. Hoseok squeezed himself between them to have a better look. Namjoon rolled his eyes but tiptoed to look above their heads.
Minji left a little, excited squeak when Jungkook quietly reached for Taehyung's hand.
'I will sleep in my room...' he said shyly, playing with Taehyung's fingers.
'Yeah... It's okay...' Taehyung assured him, and flicked his chin upwards, smiling lightly. 'It's not so far away...'
'No it's not...' Jungkook grinned and made a small step forward.
Behind the doors a massive gulp was heard.
'Will they...?' Jin held his breath.
'Oh my god!' Hoseok whispered, reaching for Minji's hand, trying to hold his excitement.
'I feel like a pervert...' Namjoon mumbled, shaking his head, but didn't move an inch.
Jungkook moved a bit more with the waiting expression.
A smug smile crawled on Taehyung's lips.
'What?' he asked.
'WHAT A TEASE!' Minji exclaimed quietly.
Jin glared at Namjoon for a moment.
'He got that from you...'
Jungkook squeezed Taehyung's hand.
'You know what. I won't ask...'
'But I don't know...' Taehyung smiled with fake innocence.
'You just like when I'm asking...' Jungkook pouted.
'I really do...' Taehyung admitted shamelessly.
'I... I don't have think...' Jin blinked, totally blank.
'Well, I have a lot...' Hobi said with parted lips. 'For example... Do we already need soundproof walls?'
He received a smack on the head from Namjoon.
'Shut up! They are still babies!'
'Sorry Joon, but that doesn't give me baby vibes...' Minji said with wide eyes.
'Just give me this damn goodnight kiss, Kim!' Jungkook squinted his eyes.
Taehyung embraced Jungkook's chin with his palm and leaned his face to him.
'Wasn't that hard right?'
He gently and lightly pressed his lips to Jungkook's in a simple, innocent peck.
'Awwwww....' Jin, Minji and Hoseok sighed.
'They are still doing the sweet kisses...' Minji cooed at two young boys.
'They better!' Namjoon shook his head.
'Oh, come on! They are cute!' Hoseok was squealing inside.
When Jungkook and Taehyung parted their lips, smiling shyly at each other and moved to the corridor, their parents panicked and fastly started to pretend they were busy with something in the room.
When they entered Jin was aimlessly fixing the pillows on the bed. Hoseok was playing with something on the window sill, Minji was sitting casually in an armchair reading some old magazine about gardening (which she hated) and Namjoon, the only one reasonable, crouched down near the bag, taking things from it.
Taehyung and Jungkook looked at the suspicious scene and squinted their eyes.
'I will go unlock the house...' Jungkook said slowly, glaring at his mother.
'Yeah, yeah... we will be right after you...' Hoseok nodded eagerly.
'I will make you tea before sleep...' Tae offered Namjoon and Jin.
'Thank you, Tae...' Jin smiled innocently.
'Goodnight, uncles...' Jungkook said, sarcastically, walking out.
'Goodnight, goodnight! Sleep well Kookie...' Namjoon nodded.
Taehyung crossed his arms on his chest.
'You should be ashamed...' he said, shaking his head.
'I don't know what you are talking about...' Minji frowned.
'Sure thing, auntie...' Taehyung smiled ironically. 'And you holding the magazin upside down is not suspicious at all...' he said before going to the kitchen.
Minji looked at the colorful paper in her hands.
'Fuck...'
Daegu, July 2065
Wooyoung, San and Gahyeon were peaking on the corridor, from behind the corner.
'I told you!!' Gahyeon said excitedly. 'It's the third time I'm seeing him!'
Yoongi looked left and right to check if someone was around, before unlocking the door and disappearing inside the room.
'What is he doing there?' Wooyoung asked.
'It's his sacred music room... so probably composing...' San concluded.
'Nah... I haven't heard any music from there...' Gahyeon shook her head. 'So that means he is writing...'
'Writing what?'
'Lyrics... I saw one he wrote partially... It's good. And shockingly - romantic.'
San and Wooyoung looked at each other and grinned.
Gahyeon looked at them suspiciously.
'You know something!!' she accused them.
'Maybe...' Wooyoung shrugged.
'What?! Teeell meeee!' she whined.
'Well...' San started.
'Not here!' Wooyoung pulled them away from the corridor. 'He will kill us if he catches us here!'
They disappeared to share the news with Gahyeon.
And inside the music room that was silent for now, only scribbling on the paper was heard. Suddenly the pen stopped and a hand reached for the phone.
A soft smile appeared when the eyes looked at the message from the middle of the night, which they saw ten times already.
CHIMISLOVE: 🥺🥺🥺Hyung...
CHIMISLOVE: Something good happened.
CHIMISLOVE: 🥰🥰🥰🥰I'm happy...
Yoongi looked at the emoji and shook his head. This guy was addicted to emojis...
Somehow the glimpses of joy he was receiving from his soulmate was making him warm. It was causing him nice thoughts he was lacking so much.
I'm happy for you, Chim...
Mountain House, August 2065
Namjoon looked at Jungkook and Taehyung who just shared their power with Jimin, covering his ninja swords in flame and lightning.
'How can you use the lightning?' he asked.
Till now nobody dared to question Taehyung and Jungkook about their power. But it was Namjoon. They trusted him. They trusted his knowledge.
'How can you share it with Jimin?' The second question was asked.
'The fifth power...' Jungkook said hesitantly.
'Saying it can do "everything" doesn't explain anything, Kook...' Namjoon said gently.
'But it actually does...' Taehyung scratched his hair. 'The same way we can switch between activating four elements... The fifth power is allowing us to switch between any other power that Eadar-eisimeileach could ever use...'
'Not every...' Jungkook shook his head. 'But most of it. We for example can't heal or strengthen our body like you. We can't use imagination like grandpa to make something material... but every...' he looked at Taehyung for help.
'Hmm... every "immaterial", "natural" or "spiritual" power... we can use it...'
Namjoon tried hard to not show how surprised the news was to him and held a calm and steady expression.
'Give me examples...' he said with his academic tone.
Taehyung and Jungkook relaxed, feeling the discussion was about facts not about "how was it possible".
'Lightening, light, sound, darkness, shadow, ice, gravity...' Jungkook said. 'Examples. That are connected to the fifth power.'
'And of course everything that can be related to four elements...' Taehyung added.
Namjoon nodded, deep in thoughts.
'Okay... I think I get it. Any power that is associated with phenomena occurring in nature....'
Two boys confirmed.
The loud screams and weapons clashing diverted their attention to Dami, who was currently fighting with Minji.
'Oh, come on!! You are more than that!' Minji teased the girl.
The ice from Dami's spear flew in Minji's direction who destroyed the ice block with one of the light balls.
Angry Dami hit the spear on the ground and was covered by ice, making Minji lose her balance and fell to the ground.
'That's what I'm talking about!' Minji smiled widely at the girl.
Hoseok was showing Yeonjun how to spread the light power around and used it as something dangerous, using Han as the aim, who was trying not to let the light pass his shield.
Soobin was aiming at Minho doing the same, while Yoohyeon was defending herself against Jin's bandaids which were moving like snakes around her, trying to tie her, when she wanted to freeze them.
'It seems your shield is working against the material objects and some powers to some point...' Jiyoung said, observing Minho and Han. 'Taehyung... come here...'
Taehyung walked to him with a sword.
Jiyoung gave Minho a sword too.
'Try to fight, keeping the shield around yourself...'
Teenagers were more bold with Jin and Namjoon around, because if anything would happen, they had healers around now.
Taehyung grinned at Minho.
Jungkook took another sword and looked at Jimin. Two swords in his hands were covered just as Jimin's. One with flames, second one with lightning.
'Slowly...' Namjoon instructed and left to help Hoseok.
Jungkook looked at Jimin challengingly and made a move with his sword. Jimin blocked it. The lightning hit the lightning.
'You are using the power your soulmate will be using...' Jungkook said.
'I know that...' Jimin said, making a turn and trying to reach Jungkook's thigh with the second sword.
They were slowly and carefully sparing. Even if Jimin wanted to speed up, Jungkook didn't let him. And at some point he realized that the Younger was showing him what he can do. Using different ways to form his power over the sword. How to send the power further... how to combine both of the swords' powers at once.
And the thought Jungkook was doing it so effortlessly... was scary and exciting. Jimin was wondering... what he can do while he is not sticking to something that could be "Jimin's style".
'AAUCH!!' Minho's voice made them stop the sparring.
Taehyung's sword crossed his shield and the blade was now pressed gently to Minho's arm.
Jiyoung patted Minho's arm.
'That's what I thought... Depending on the power you can block it to some point. The stronger your shield will get, the stronger powers you would be able to oppose...'
'We should check if the shield is blocking not only physical attack...' Jin suggested.
Everybody stopped, interested.
'How?' Han frowned.
'We can use Siyeon and Bora...' Minji smirked.
'Hey!!' Siyeon glared at her.
'Stop it, girls!' Jiyoung said instantly as if he was used to saying it. 'Minji is right...'
'Siyeon's power is really dangerous.' Minji explained and Siyeon rolled her eyes. 'She can use her voice to tell you what to do...'
'I do! So shut up!' Siyeon said and Minji's mouth instantly pressed together.
She squinted her eyes and sent the light balls in Siyeon's face, when Hwasa entered and pulled their ears.
'Stop it this instant!'
Siyeon released Minji from her power and whined.
'Okay...' Bora sighed. 'I will do it...' she had a satine collar over her neck. 'Everybody stand in front of me...'
When they did, she looked at the faces and stopped at Jimin's.
'Now... Jimin, do a backflip.'
Jimin's body instantly bent and he did a backflip without hesitation. Bora looked at Yoohyeon. 'Sit on the ground.' she ordered, and Yoohyeon instantly plopped on her butt on the grass.
'Scary!!' Yeonjun exclaimed.
'Yeah...' Hoseok agreed with him.
'That's how the power is working...' she shrugged. 'Jungkook hug Soobin...'
Taehyung moved at once. He stood in front of Jungkook and held the blade of the sword, holding it vertically as if he wanted to defend him. A deafening sound rang out. As if the voice echoed and was swallowed after by the blade.
Bora blinked, shocked and behind Taehyung, Jungkook smirked.
'Yeah... we can do that... It wouldn't have affected me, auntie...'
Siyeon raised her eyebrow challengingly.
'Maybe the sacred treasure wouldn't but the sheer power...' she looked at Jungkook and ordered. 'Come to me...'
Jungkook just stretched his palm and the echo of Siyeon's voice flew above their heads and disappeared.
'How?' she asked, blinking.
'Sound wave...' Namjoon said. 'They can manipulate the sound too.'
Before the tension raised, Yeonjun said:
'That's cool...'
And Jungkook let out a silent sigh, grateful they haven't freak out. Taehyung turned to look at him fast, looking for any sign of anxiety on his face.
Jungkook sent him a reassuring smile. He couldn't let Taehyung (still holding a deadly dangerous sacred treasure) go into a protective mood.
'Ummm... okay... so we should check Minho and Han no...' Bora got back to business. 'Cover yourself with a shield. We will check if you will be affected. I will use just a small volume... if it won't have the effect on you it means you can strengthen the shield to the point I won't be able to affect you with the high volume later either...'
Shields whistood Bora's order and Minho and Han sighed with relief.
'Okay! It's enough for today!' Jiyoung ordered. 'We will start tomorrow again... Getting to know your powers is always exciting but tiring...'
'And you have vacation... Go for a walk or something...' Hwasa nodded. 'We bought some tents as there are many more people here...'
'We will go to the attic, you can sleep in my room...' Minji said to Namjoon and Jin.
'We will?' Hoseok whined.
'Don't worry... we cleaned and aired there since last time...' Bora said. 'And dealth with spiders...'
'Okay...' he said gravely, inconsolable.
'I want to sleep in a tent!' Han exclaimed. He looked at Jimin hopefully.
'No way in hell! Mosquitos will eat me alive!'
'And why the hell do you want him in your tent, huh?!' Minho squinted his eyes.
'To make you jealous of course...' Han grinned, making everybody laugh.
'We can sleep in a tent too...' Taehyung said, shrugging.
'Bet you can...' Dami smirked, near him, so only he could hear her.
He rolled his eyes.
'Okay, so Dami, Yoohyeon, Jimin, Yeonjun and Soobin to the dormitory. Han i Minho to one tent. Tae and Kookie to the second one. Everybody is okay with it?' Hwasa summed up.
She answered with a choral "yeaaah!".
'Can we make a bonfire?' Soobin asked.
'Yeah! Let's do this!'
'We can do it in the evening...' Jiyoung smiled. 'You should gain what you can from this vacation.'
After the joyful evening, when Kai, Jennie, Chanyeol and Baekhyun joined them for the bonfire, everything calmed down after midnight.
Taehyung and Jungkook crawled inside their sleeping bags and covered themselves with blankets with aching from sparring muscles.
Using power wasn't tiring, but using weapons and combat... was. So they fell asleep close to each other to keep the warmth and mumbling quiet: sleep well.
~~~~~~~~
There is no coming back from here...
Water.
Darkness.
Cold.
Why did you come here, human?
Pain.
Lack of air.
Blindness.
There is no coming back from here...
Water. Cold, dark water.
Nobody is allowed to come back from here...
Void.
There is no coming back from here...
Jeryn opened his eyes. But he saw only darkness.
He was dying. He knew it. There was no air left in his lungs.
His body was falling deeper and deeper inside the void.
He saw smugs of a jade light. Spreading inside the water. They started to shape until they formed three women that started to circle around his floating in the water body.
He fell to the lake. He left Taeghan there. With hundreds of enemies.
In danger.
He started to struggle, desperately moving his arms to reach the surface.
But the women made of light were stopping him. Not letting him move.
Nobody is allowed to come back from here...
He heard the words in his head.
'Who are you?!' he couldn't scream, but the sentence was spoken inside his mind.
We are... Norns. The daughters of destiny... The masters of life.
The words were echoing in Jeryn's mind.
'Let me go!!! I need to go back!! He is in danger!!'
There is no coming back from here...
Your life is ending...
In one of the spirit's hand a scissors appeared.
The second touched Jeryn's chest and pulled a red thread.
But the more she was pulling it out... the longer it was getting...
The third spirit circled around him again and looked at the red string that was going from his back, through the water. Above the surface.
He is not alone...
His soul is connected to the other one...
It's not his time...
Three spirits looked at the thread, touching it, stretching it and playing with it curiously. They looked at each other.
Then the spirit with scissors, looked at him.
We can make a deal...
We were banished here because we trusted a human once!! - the second one opposed.
'I will make a deal!!!' Jeryn said, looking for any way to go back to Teaghan. To avenge his family. To save the island.
That one also said so... - the third spirit said with grief.
We gave him power... we gave him everything... And he betrayed us!
'I won't!' Jeryn promised.
Are you sure? the first spirit moved forward. What will you choose?
Sacrifice the other half of your soul for a power only for yourself? - the second spirit came closer.
Or a bond for eternity to share it... - the third spirit swam closer too.
'Who would choose the first one?!' Jeryn said enraged.
That's what we've thought...
But someone...
...did...
And we were punished!
'I could sacrifice my soul! But I would not sacrifice Taeghan's!'
The spirit with scissors tried to cut the red thread that was embracing Jeryn.
This red string is strong...
She looked Jeryn in the eyes.
We can make a deal... - she repeated.
The power... for the traitor's soul... - her sister added.
'How will I find him?'
Some meetings are meant to be... He will find you...
Beware of him... he is the shadow... the malice... the evil...
'Taeghan will be safe?'
As long as you are together...
As long as the red thread is strong...
As long as your souls will call each other...
Jeryn was sure. Maybe he was naive. But he was sure. The bond they shared won't ever change.
The spirit stretched her hand. Jeryn looked at it and squeezed it.
'Deal!'
Three spirits got their hands closer. Between them a small, round object appeared. Perfect like a polished stone, shining like jade.
It's the soul stone...
Use it wisely...
Three hands reached inside Jeryn's chest at once. He screamed in pain.
The pain was short but intense. When he opened his eyes two spirits disappeared. Only one of the sisters left.
I loved him... - she said with sad eyes. - That's why we trusted him...
She looked at the red thread floating around Jeryn.
She closed her fingers and when she opened her palm there was a second, red shining stone on it.
This is a gift for you.
You are our warriors now...
'I will need help...'
The red string in the water is safe here. - the spirit said. - We will give you help...
Jeryn nodded.
Protect the souls from him...
He will haunt you...
Beware of him...
She inserted the second stone inside Jeryn's chest, when he felt the pulling. of the red string inside him. Pulling him above the water.
Taeghan was calling him.
The spirit nodded and dissapper, leaving the echo.
Go
~~~~~
Taehyung woke up suddenly, because he got kicked. But what truly woke him up from the deep sleep was the fear he suddenly felt.
Jungkook was moving inside his sleep. Squirming, breathing heavily or desperately catching his breath. Kicking his legs as if he was trying to swim.
'Koo!!!' Taehyung shook him. 'Jungkook! Wake up!!'
But no matter how much he tried, Jungkook was still asleep.
Until he suddenly opened his eyes and whispered terrified:
'I wasn't the first one...'
Taehyung didn't even ask. Jungkook was trembling, sweating badly. His forehead was wet and warm.
'I will call dad...'
Jungkook grabbed his arms desperately.
'NO! Please! Don't leave me!'
'Hey, hey!' Taehyung cupped his face and forced him to look him in the eyes. 'I'm not leaving you!' he said sternly.
With shivering lips, Jungkook choked out.
'H-hold m-me... S-so c-cold...'
Taehyung layed down, pulling Jungkook on him. He covers his back in a blanket.
His hands were rubbing his back to warm him up.
Jungkook pressed his cheek to Taehyung's heart. Gripping the fabric of his hoodie desperately.
For a moment he couldn't calm down, but then Taehyung's scent, the warmth of his body, made him breathing steadily.
His eyelids become heavy.
Taehyung was holding him tightly. Feeling Jungkook's skin is warming up.
Feeling his body weight on himself was making him calm and sure.
Jungkook was here. With him. Safe.
'Tell me...'
'The legend... Jeryn... Taeghan.. Genesis...' Jungkook whispered. 'I know what happened in the lake...'
He closed his eyes and told Taehyung everything.
'So all of our powers are coming from...'
'The soul stone...'

Hello!!
Sorry for the delay!
I hope the chapter was worth waiting for...
So:
The Norns are deities in responsible for in Norse mythology responsible for shaping the course of human destinies.
The Norns lived around one of the three roots of the evergreen Yggdrasil ash tree, near the dark Urd well (it was the source of the tree's strength). Nearby was a sacred lake from which they drew water to water the root.
They are similar to Moiraes (Fates) from Greek Mythology.
Clotho, the youngest of the sisters, presided over the moment in which we are born, and held a distaff in her hand; Lachesis spun out all the events and actions of our life; and Atropos, the eldest of the three, cut the thread of human life with a pair of scissors.
