Day two of Jeongguk's suspension and Taehyung was given the permission to get back to his class after a whole one day of rest and from the very start, he could feel Belfort wasn't the same it used to be two days ago.

No, of course he ain't missing his rival and what was off were the teachers. They looked so stressed and anxious. They didn't even listening their questions as they were immersed in their own thoughts most of the time and also the times when they were called out of the classrooms by the other teachers for God knows what reasons; Taehyung got a hint that it got more serious. Now he can't but worry about the headmaster and also Jeon Jeongguk (only a little about the blond though).

"Jimin, I need to talk to Jackson," Taehyung mumbled to the other as they walked out of the classroom the moment the class was dismissed, "I will be in the lunch hall―"

With that, he left running as he needed to have a word with him before the hall gets flooded with the students and with the speed of sound, he ran as if some demon was after him and once he was in the hall, he panted searching for one of Jeongguk's closest friends and he already spotted him with his gang sitting on their usual seats at the back.

"Jackson," he called panting while he slowly walked up to them greeting the others with a stoic expression, "Hello Namjoon, hey Hoseok."

"Hey?" they all were surprised to see Kim Taehyung there on his own will because this wasn't expected at all, "What brings you here?"

Hoseok pushed his butt aside making room for Taehyung to sit down and he did which was again a matter of surprise for them, "Jeongguk. Jackson have you chatted with him? Like you know what's going on? Is the mage alright? Is he getting any better?"

"Well you know what, I was wanting to talk to you but didn't know how to do it because I thought you probably wouldn't just want to talk to any of us for whatever we do and say about you," Jackson said instead of answering the series of questions Taehyung bombarded him with that caused the brunet to cock one of his brows,

"And why's that for?"

"Talked to him last night. He said the mage is getting better and also asked about you. I actually didn't know about your condition so I just said you doing all okay. So okay the main thing, he told us to get his wand from professor Ravi's cabin and also the invisible fabrica from the mage's and meet him at his house tonight. He told me that we can ask you for help if needed and we― are in a great necessity of help."

"I helped him, you know that right?" the brunet asked rubbing his left eyebrow with his thumb as he looked around.

Fortunately the bustling crowd and the amount of sounds they made as they talked, laughed and gossiped along with their low tones just kept all these hidden from the others. No chance someone overheard the conversation.

"We know but y'know we are the ones who gave him the ideas about how to annoy you and stuff, you know that―"

"Oh, I didn't know that but now I do. Doesn't make things any better but whatever. I am in. After the lunch hours, any of you can come with me and we get that arsehole's wand and that fabrica." Taehyung said and looked over his shoulder at his best friend finally appearing through the huge doors.

"Tae, you sure you aren't the secret child of Usain Bolt or some, man? The fuck. Why do you run so fast?" Jimin asked grabbing the other's shoulders, massaging them as he stood behind him, "And hello motherfuckers."

"Hey shortie, how's growing up going? Please I just wish, the best semen would've won, then you wouldn't have been under my knee caps," Jackson asked making the other two laugh at this weird ass joke while Taehyung rolled his eyes and held his pointer finger in the air.

"Don't you dare."

"Alright, fine." he raised his hands up in the air, pressing his lips shut and Jimin giggled at this, "Don't mess with me if you don't want my daddy to come after you, dickhead."

Soon enough the lunch hours were over and as planned Taehyung was behind the staircase with Jimin beside waiting for the others to show up.

"Tae, you are helping them? Like please did you forget you almost died because of this 'help' and also you might get suspended as well," Jimin asked seeing Taehyung bunking the class which isn't quite like him but he was doing this anyway to get that wand back.

"You're right but Jimin, I can't avoid it when I know I can help him. He is trying to find out what's wrong and if we can y'know stop a disaster from happening then I am okay with it," Taehyung said as he had this bad feeling about this whole issue. This intuition he had was eating him up and doing something is certainly better than sitting idle when his head exploding because of these thoughts.

"You're such a sweetheart, Tae. I love you so much." the cotton candy haired boy said ruffling his cute best friend's hair who giggled softly, "I love you more, Park Jiminie."

"Here we are," Hoseok said running his fingers through his smooth purple hair locks as they slowly walked closer with Jackson and Namjoon trailing behind, "Why are all of you here? The teacher will get suspicious."

"What if we need extra help? They will get our backs." Namjoon said and stepped forward, a little closer to Taehyung who sighed, "Let's go then."

Jeongguk tapped his feet on the white, cold floor as he anxiously stared out of the window which he purposedly kept open for his friends to get in as per the plan.

His mom wasn't at home as she was with his father at Belfort but he can't take any chance. He can't let her see that he was still planning on doing stuff about this attack and again planning on going to the forest but this time with his friends and not with Taehyung but he would surely never deny that Taehyung didn't do anything less than a friend would do. No complaints with that.

But he again doesn't want Taehyung to be involved with his problems and later say that he owes him big. At the moment, they were most probably even as he saved his life and also from his father.

The blond snapped out of his thoughts when he heard those shuffling noises outside coming from behind the bushes.

He got a hint that it was his friends and he was right when Jackson, Namjoon and Hoseok appeared some seconds after but they weren't alone, they were accompanied by someone he didn't want to see at the moment.

"What are these two cartoons doing here?" Jeongguk asked as he watched Taehyung and Jimin appear from behind the bushes.

"They insisted and Taehyung helped us getting the things you wanted. We stole the fabrica first which was surprisingly so easy and then using that we got your wand!" Hoseok excited narrated a short description of the heist they took part in this afternoon.

Jeongguk raised his left eyebrow at the brunet who rolled his eyes back at him, "Be a little grateful I guess?"

"We are even. I don't need your help anymore, get out." Jeongguk said resulting in him to take huge steps forward and he did take them until he was standing just one inches away from the blond who now stared at his hazel eyes, "Are we even though?"

"Today I helped you again―" the older couldn't finish his sentence as Jeongguk already started speaking, "The help I did you is something you can't repay. Understand?"

"I almost lost my life because of you," Taehyung argued not believing what the other just said and pushed the other harshly, "Can you repay that?"

"I saved you," Jeongguk informed somehow balancing himself on his feet and then got closer to push Taehyung the same way he did, "Kim Taehyung, you are the one who should be grateful."

The others who were in the room knew if this continues they would probably end up punching each other and now wasn't the time as they had scarcity of time and needed to get back to the form before the sun rises which was around two hours later, "Guys, stop this."

"Why did y'all even let these two come here?" Jeongguk irritatedly asked not even looking at them as he was busy having a glaring contest with the one standing close to him.

"Jeon Jeongguk;" Jimin called getting all the attention on him now and once they had the eye contact, he continued speaking, "You are one ungrateful brat I say, my bestie is here trying to help you even though you are such an arsehole, after how much differences you both have and you here are just invalidating everything?"

"Great. You said you weren't that bad like we thought but guess what? You are worse than that," Jimin growled pushing Taehyung away and stepping forward to glare at the blond.

"Fucking hell! I told you Tae, I fucking said that don't try and do something for him. Now understand?" Jimin was angry now and angry Jimin was pretty dangerous. He doesn't get this feeling much often because he is always so bubbly and cheerful but once he does, it's difficult to control.

"You can rot in some trash can, I don't care. Further in future you or any of your friends will not come to Taehyung for help I am warning you, if you do, nothing will be worse than me and I fucking mean it."

They all were surprised to see Jimin this infuriated, his brows furrowed with his eyes glaring at Jeongguk, this was a new side of him and they were shocked at how harsh those words were.

"Let's go Taehyung and I swear stop being nice to him when he doesn't even appreciate it."
