"Taehyung, I can't let you go to teng and that too; with him alone," Jimin whispered softly even though Jeongguk went back to his dorm to bring some stuff and they were alone in the room, "I will come with you."

"I can't let you come with me, Jiminie. Understand, I can't let you get into danger," Taehyung tried to explain as he ruffled his best friend's hair locks before he smiled at him lightly, "Your spells suck."

"Not the time to insult my spells, bestie." the shorter male rolled his eyes and tapped Taehyung's shoulders who was busy getting his torch light, a pocket knife that he always had in the nightstand drawer in his backpack along with a luminary stone his mother gifted him on his last birthday.

"No arguements, I am older than you and you gotta take me with you," Jimin said back hugging the taller one whispering, "I can't let you die alone."

"Fucker, don't you scare me like this." Taehyung let out a chuckle and leaned down to grab his wand from the bed and stuffed it in his pocket.

"No, I am coming with you."

"Okay listen, I will be all okay. I will be okay on my own, I promise." Taehyung cupped the other's cheeks, "So don't come along and get all of us in trouble, understand?"

"Should I be upset over how you called me a burden or should I be happy that you don't want me to die." Jimin pushed the other away who bursted out in laughter, "The latter, please."

"Rude motherfucker!"

There was a knock on the door and they got the hint that it was Jeongguk outside. Jimin sighed and got the door. The blond quickly got in and close it.

He had a backpack in his hand and now was opening the zipper to get something, "You ready, Kim?"

"Yeah, I am. But Jeon, we ain't dying right?" Taehyung asked looking at him from the corner of his eyes, "Like tell me we ain't, even that's a lie."

"We won't, I promise." Jeongguk said and pressed his lips together in a thin line, not quite sure of whatever he said but again no matter what, Taehyung shouldn't be harmed because now he was his responsibility even though he volunteered.

"Please guys, can I go with you?" Jimin again decided to try his fate but no, nothing happened when both of them quickly said, "No!"

"Oof fine."

"Whores. Please don't end up making out in the forest―" Jimin said causing them both to glare at him, "Never what the fuck!"

"No, I mean you both are hot and I have read enough rivals to lovers fanfictions so you know," the cotton candy haired boy laughed out which made the others roll their eyes at him.

"That's why you score so less." Jeongguk jeered resulting him to stop laughing and now he frowned at him before throwing a death glare, "We don't talk about my grades."

Jeongguk pulled out a piece of cloth that had the length of covering up someone with it with a huge width as well.

Taehyung stared at it for a good minute before something clicked in his mind seeing the different patterns on it, "It's the invisible fabrica!"

"You know?" Jeongguk was impressed by the other's knowledge and nodded when Taehyung was right.

"It belongs to my father but whatever I can use it." the blond like the brat he is said and pulled Taehyung closer by his waist which made the other gulp and yelp in surprise, "We will use it to get out of Belfort. No one can see us with this."

"You could have just told me to get closer. Don't you dare touch me again." Taehyung whispered when Jeongguk covered both of them in that fabric.

Jeongguk just laughed at this. He knew nothing of this is going out and Jimin ain't hearing anything or seeing anything.

"Guys, I can't see you all." Jimin said not seeing the others, "Holy pishogue!"

The inner surface of the fabric was transparent and they both could see Jimin laughing, just a little dark as the light was reflecting but also refracting and absorbing in as well.

In that dim lighting, Jeongguk looked at the other's eyes those were staring back at him and got speechless at how beautiful the other looks from this close.

The younger pulled the fabric off their bodies and Jimin again could watch them and beyond surprised to see this magic.

"We will leave now and Jimin―" Jeongguk paused for a moment, "I will bring your best friend safe and sound."

Taehyung just stayed quiet at the tone the younger used, it was like so genuine. Nothing in it seemed fake or meant to be a joke or anything. It was so true and Taehyung probably will never admit but he for a second thought Jeongguk can be a nice wizard for once.

With that Jeongguk again covered them up once they had their backpacks slinged down their shoulders when Jimin opened the door for them, "Good luck. Come back soon. Alive. You both."

Jeongguk and Taehyung, both started walking in sync oh so carefully so that they don't trip and fall resulting in ruining the plan. If they by any chance get caught, they will be suspended for sure and moreover Jeongguk's mom will be very angry because she forbade him to do anything about this.

"So the plan is we go search the whole teng forest?" the older one murmured and Jeongguk nodded, "The forest isn't that big so we will be able to do that in like two hours or so."

"Hmm. What if we actually find something? Will be able to fight it?" Taehyung asked looking over his shoulder at the other who shook his head no.

"We should not attack until we know everything about our enemy and tonight we will just try and know about them. Nothing else. That's why I asked you to come with me. It's not gonna be dangerous, I suppose."

"Hope this is all true, Jeon."

"Uh huh, same." Jeongguk said as they were walking down the stairs now.

The occasional hitting of their heads against each other's was annoying to be honest but none of them said a word and kept on walking until they were out of the campus. Now they just have to get out of the gate but there was a problem, the guard was always there.

They stayed a metre away from the gate and thought how they can get out without letting the man know they did.

"Lemme do something." Taehyung grabbed his wand from his pocket and they walked closer and closer.

"You know the spell for getting a big wind?" Taehyung asked and Jeongguk nodded, "Batiasa Lag."

"Yeah that, you will use it and I will make a huge sound. He will think there's kugeos outside and open the door and baam! We get out."

"Sounds good." Jeongguk said and got his wand as well.

"At the count of one, two and three―"

"Batiasa Lag!"

"Suvio ultrasonica!"

They casted their spell and a huge sound was heard that was too loud for the guard to keep on dozing off on the chair he was sitting and also there was a huge wind that hit his body.

The guard got scared for a moment but this was common for him, they had these small creatures that make huge sounds and blow air called kugeos and if he wants to get a sound sleep, he needs to get rid of them.

So, like Taehyung thought, he went and open the huge door and in this chance, they both got out of Belfort border.

"You're smart." Jeongguk praised and Taehyung just let out a half suppressed laugh.

"You saying as if I don't know?" Taehyung asked rolling his eyes that made the other sigh.

"Shouldn't have done that. I take it back. Ugh."

They again started walking together under that fabric and once they crossed a safe distance away from the campus and only some metres away from the Impecunious Jeeper's lane which was basically a locality for the poor people.

Jeeper's inhabitants weren't quite friendly and despised the people who could do magic, more precisely who knew how to do higher magic and stuff unlike them, basically everyone from Belfort and the area being small, they almost recognised all the people living there.

Therefore it wasn't safe for them to the cover off and they decided to keep it until they cross this.

"We are so dead if we get caught."
