@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ *jeongguk’s eyes widened in sympathy for hoseok’s expression and he bit his lower lip, chewing it in thought. Hoseok looked distraught. Truly taken for a spin. He knew the feeling. Not being able to control your own life. Either because of another or your internal nature. He sighed rolling his eyes.* whatever. You okay now?

@「jeon jungkook」∴ human But I can heal…you can’t Hyung *he protested to jungkook*

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ Did you expect me to come back next day and burn you once again? No, I was forced to leave and get through with this but I refuse to be used as a weapon against you. I spend all this time training. Trying to get this under control so I could see you again. It wasn't easy, it was a ing hell. You think I want any of this? To be tricked and played with. For someone to get into my head and mess with my memories. To wake up everyday and read note about all the inportant facts of my life just to make sure I get everything straight. It was hell Jeongguk. Turns out angels can be just as cruel as demons. Especially when they despite you just because you fallen in love with demon Lord. The punished me severly for that and made me one of them just to make me suffer. They knew It will hurt me the most. The lack of choice. * He sighs hiding his face in his hands. Slowly. Just breath Hoseok. You need to breath. He reminded himself feeling so broken and so exhausted. * I am sorry it took me this long. Im sorry I hurt your lover. I am sorry I cUsed you so many problems and thank you. Thank you for being my friend in my darkest moments.

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ I saw what happened last time and I really didn't wanted you to get burned again. I didn't even know if it will work. *The hold on your hand tightened* I would do it again. You are the most important to me. I will always worry all the time.

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ *Jeongguk nods slowly after his initial widening of his eyes at the wing.* so you..have demon blood then… *he laughs dryly* how the did they take that… *yet when you say you’re just the same person as before, he snorts* ha that’s a boldfaced lie. *he rolls his eyes. Yet he looks at how baggy your eyes were. You been through . Yet you thinking you could randomly just waltz in after being gone for a lot of his biggest moments. You can’t just expect him to be all whoop dee doo about it. You weren’t here. Jungkook was. And that was the fact. He crossed his arms across his chest.* you say you didn’t change at all? Well that was such a ty move hyung, hurting my human than me, a literal demon

@「jeon jungkook」∴ human No baby. I won’t die so it should’ve been me *he glared adamantly into jungkook’s eyes* me not you Hyung…

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ My wings are half black. *He let the power slip for a moment to show you, the black feathers, before he pulled all back in. Locking it away with a small gasp.* I don't remember much from it. The pain was like nothing else, he could break as many bones as he wanted, and I wouldn't even notice. But yeah, I am not a pure angel if that's what you are asking.
*He shakes his head, inhaling sharply.* I am the same person I was before. Just immortal and stronger, with new... duties to carry. I spend this whole time training, to be able to hide the powers. So you could touch me and be around me. I am sorry for using your lover this way, but there was no other way to check it out. V and Taehyung are immune to me. Unlike others, I never lost my body or my human nature. I didn't die, but because of it I had to suffer the change, and I almost went mad from the pain. I think I begged V to kill me at some point.

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ He needed to test it out on someone. I would rather be me than you. *Jungkook was just as serious. You cared for him, and he cared for you.* Do I look like I am trying to off myself? no. I have you.

@「jung hoseok」• nonau ʲʰᵒᵖᵉ At the outburst from hoseok, his attention was moved. His eyes widened as he watched a person with his hyung’s face cry in frustration and anger. He slightly calmed down at the new strong feelings over him. He gritted his teeth. He knew that feeling all too well. The hidden regret he had masked behind his signature smirk at choosing this life. Eventually he didn’t regret it with time and the understanding that all humans were always just as bad if not worse as a secret misanthrope. But in the beginning before he realized the truth, his hunger made him do inexplicable wrong things to “innocent” seeming people and he’d stay up regretting it. Hating himself for getting off to it. Yet even with all that, unlike what he did with jungkook, he didn’t jump at holding hoseok in his arms again. There was still fear behind his angry eyes though now he realized there was a lingering scent of his boss* your wing? Did… *he inhaled at the blood with a forced laugh* did he really ing break it…

@「jeon jungkook」∴ human Why the hell would you do that to yourself *his voice was serious to jungkook* I didn’t ing /ask/ you to hurt yourself for me *glares really telling you off despite you kissing his cheek* do we need to ing put you in a straight jacket like my original Hyung too?!

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ *It started to feel like the world was closing on him, and he couldn't breathe at the weight of all the accusations, finally he screams back, tears rolling down his cheeks.* I didn't do it! I didn't ing do it! I was tricked! *He pulled on his hair, and looked at you.* They put their essence in me months ago, and it was slowly taking over. Taking back some of my memories. Messing with my body, and when I realized what was happening it was too late! I could accept it or die, refusing. *He gasped, shaking and crying.* They wanted me and when they realized that there was a big chance I will be another demon, they acted. Planting their power in me, using the fact that V wasn't there all the time to sense it and stop it. Taehyung's senses are not that strong, so it all worked perfectly for them. *He wrapped his arms around his body, hugging himself.* I didn't plan it. I didn't want to abandon you. I didn't want any of it. I didn't... *He sniffed, letting his body shake from a share force of his sobs.* I should have refused, at least I wouldn't have to miss because I would be gone.

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ I needed to be certain he won't hurt you when he hides his powers. *He holds you tightly.* I am fine, I promise. It's going away. I am all in one piece, baby. *He kisses your cheek.* I am fine.

*then when hoseok turns to confess, he backs away. It felt foreign. He growled to hoseok* you ing abandoned me…when you turned… *his voice was gravely* and now you wanna hurt the only man I trust?!

*Jeongguk kept glaring until he blinked at jungkook trying to explain what he was smelling* why… why the did you let him do that to you… *his voice was at a loss as he slowly calmed down from his animalistic nature, eyes turning into concern instead.*

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ He burned my neck in his angel form, it's still healing. *He wouldn't lie about it.* But he didn't do it purposely, I asked him to test it on me. If he hurts you or not. *Jungkook apart from a pain, didn't really feel differently. The bond and contract was still intact, maybe sinking even deeper into his skin, where it burned, clenching tightly into his soul. *

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ I am sorry, I am so so sorry, I didn't want to do it, I just missed you! I missed you so much and wanted to see you, and all this time I was working on the control. I really didn't want to do this! *Hoseok panicked, taking one step closer.*

@「jeon jungkook」∴ human It’s not- *he growls habitually as he sniffed at your neck where the tattoo was* what the - *he glares. He was sure it wasn’t something a shower could fix. Something inherently changed* what the he did to you… *growls*

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ *Glares back.* I will take a long shower when we come back, and then we can roll in bed all night so you can scent me all you want. But I needed to make sure he won't hurt you, before I called you Gukkie. *He kisses you again, and again, placing your hand on his neck, to cover the scent. * Now, don't make him suffer any longer and just speak with him, okay? I will be here all the time.

*Stands there quietly, rubbing his hands together nervously, waiting for a sign or anything.*

@「jeon jungkook」∴ human Mm…something like that… *mumbles* had a very long annoying day… *but at the scent, it was almost like you were a new person. He disliked it- especially as he was so sensitive to smells in general *he glared at you and then to the direction of the other’s presence, growling. You cupped his face yet he was defensive despite the kiss to his lips inciting a softer moan. He glares at you, slightly calming down yet hating the fact you didn’t smell like home anymore. Despite the same personality, despite the same voice and touch…*

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ *Jungkook relaxes in your hold, grateful for the company.* Aww sleepy head much. *Yet when you glare, tensing, he quickly turns around in your arms, cupping your face and making him look at you.* Baby shh... look at me. Focus on me. *He thumbs your cheeks, pressing a soft kiss to your lips.* Before you jump and assume anything, let him explain, okay? He worked very hard for you, and he deserves to be heard. I am not denying your feelings. You have every right to be hurt and mad, but just heard him, okay? He asked me for help. Just hear him out.

@「jeon jungkook」∴ human *at being called by his name, he appears with that smirk on his face, back hugging you as always yet slightly tired* mm 5 more min… *already closing his eyes but his nose flares* …why do you smell like /him/? *he glares starting to get defensive. After the last time he met hoseok, he realized his Hyung was no more. A different faction. Dangerous. He treated the change like a new soul because even his rebirth as Jeongguk was just that/ like a new soul.*

@「 jeongguk 」∶ human ᵈᵉᵐᵒⁿ Jeongguk. *Jungkook calls for you, wrapping an arm around your waist, and pulling you closer the moment you appeared, making sure you face him, giving Hoseok that moment.* Hello baby, I have a surprise. * He smiles, cupping your cheek and thumbing it.* Close your eyes, Gukkie.

Yah!

No moments! *Offers a rather evil smile.*

Just a moment... I just....

Are you ready? *Grins*

*Blinks* Right...

I am older...

Yah! Where is the respect for your hyung?!
