25. Old memories

"Shit..." Taehyung chuckled nervously. "Let's just get out of here," He sighed.

"Y- yeah..." Jungkook mumbled. They both started to walk out of the bathroom, when they heard a cough from behind them. They both turned around to see who it was, and they saw Jin leaning against the wall, as if he was waiting for the two.

"What's going on here?" He asked curiously.

"Nothing." Taehyung waved him off. "I was just taking care of some business." He replied nonchalantly. "As you can see, we're fine."

"Yeah. We're fine." Jungkook repeated nervously.

"Right. We're fine." Jin repeated for him. "What's going on between you and Jungkook?" He asked, giving the older boy a suspicious look.

"None of your business, hyung," Taehyung quickly replied.

"Boy, don't get sassy with me. I know when there's something going on." Jin furrowed his eyebrows at Taehyung, who stood quietly in front of him, ready leave at any moment.

"Nothing's going on!" Taehyung said more firmly. Jin gave a look of disbelief, before raising his hands in defeat.

"Whatever. I'll leave you two alone." He said, before walking off. Suddenly he stopped, turning around. "Oh, and Tae."

"What?"

"Your mouth." Jin smirked and walked back to the living room, leaving the two flustered kings in front of the bathroom door. Jungkook looked down at his shoes, too embarrassed to say anything. Taehyung, however, smirked as he looked at the younger boy. "What?" Jungkook asked defensively. "Nothing," Taehyung replied, grinning. "Just thought you look cute when you are embarrassed."

Jungkook's cheeks turned bright red as he scowled at the older boy. "Shut up..."

"You're pretty cute when you're angry too." Taehyung brushed the younger's cheek with his thumb. "I like the fiery you." he smirked. Just as Taehyung was about to lean in to kiss him, Jin coughed behind them again, interrupting them. They pulled away from each other, breathing heavily.

"Nothing going on with you my ass!" Jin snickered. "You're basically licking each others faces there." He raised an eyebrow at Jungkook. "Wow, Jungkook, I never knew you could pull out something like this. And by the way, Namjoon has something to tell you." He chuckled and left the pair alone again.

"What does he want to tell you?" Taehyung asked. It seemed that the older boy was content with just watching the younger boys reactions.

"I have no idea." Jungkook shrugged, as he walked to the living room, where Yoongi, Jin, Namjoon and Hoseok were sitting at a table, as if waiting for the two kings. When everyone was seated, Namjoon cleared his throat to get the attention of the room.

"Before we begin, there is something that I need to tell the both of you. It's about your father." Namjoon turned to Taehyung, whose eyes widened at the mention his father; the grand head priest. "For starters, he is, indeed, the one behind all the attacks." Namjoon nodded slowly, as if asking for a permission to continue from Taehyung. The younger only huffed as a response. "He has also been recruiting soldiers from different mafias to join his army."

This made Taehyung's blood boil. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me this before?!" He stood up angrily, knocking his chair over in the process.

"Why the fuck would I tell you something like that when you literally almost got yourself killed once?! You lost your cool and nearly got yourself killed at the prospect of being a soldier!" Namjoon snapped.

"Well shouldn't I have had the right to decide if I wanted to join my father or not! Plus I quit a long time ago!" Taehyung slammed his fist on the table.

"Are you still on your fathers side?!" Namjoon widened his eyes in disbelief. "What the fuck Taehyung?" He scoffed.

"No! What the hell? He killed my own fucking mother, why the hell would I take his side?!" Taehyung snapped back, immediately regretting what he said.

Namjoon's expression softened, yet he seemed more exasperated than apologetic. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap." He stated more to himself than anything else. "It's just...I've made every effort possible to bring your father back to the light, so that he may be judged for his crimes. But if he has been recruiting soldiers from other mobs..."

Namjoon couldn't finish his sentence, as a realization struck him. A cold sweat beaded on his face. "Oh my god..."

"What?" Taehyung asked. All eyes turned to Namjoon, who quickly stood up from his seat.

"Your father. He has been doing this shit without my knowledge. I would have stopped him if I knew." Namjoon rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"What do you mean? Taehyung furrowed hie eyebrows at Namjoon, who was scratching his neck in nervousness.

"Your father has probably been spying on us for a while now, some of us for a very long time. He was listening in on our conversations, all the time." Namjoon closed his eyes in thought.

"What?! Are you sure?" Hoseok and Jin asked in unison.

"Yes, doesn't it make sense? How else would he know about Hoseok's and Yoongi's powers?" Namjoon announced.

Yoongi, who had been silently listening to the conversation, stood up. "Wait. So, what you're basically saying is that Taehyung's father has been spying on us the entire time? That fucking asshole bastard.." Yoongi cursed under his breath.

"But why?" Hoseok asked.

"That is exactly what I aim to find out, because it seems pretty fishy." Namjoon stated. He then looked at Yoongi. "How long has he been doing this?" He turned to Yoongi. The older only let out an exasperated sigh, which Namjoon interpreted as a 'what kind of fucking question is that?' look. "So you don't know, alright." He rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, I need to find out why exactly he's looking for Hoseok and Jungkook." Namjoon sighed. "Although, it might take a while..."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, stood up and grabbed Jungkook's wrist so he could walk away. But before he ran off with the younger, Namjoon called out to him. "Hey! I still have something to discuss here!" He widened his eyes in irritation.

"Fine..." Taehyung huffed and sat back down with the confused Jungkook in his arms.

"So, Jungkook. It's about your powers...and- your origin..." Namjoon said nervously, reseiving a wide eyed but shocked look from Jungkook.
