Yoongi, Yugyeom and Jackson stayed in the dark passageway for a while because they don't want to see the picture of Jeongguk sporting a boner and Taehyung with white lace panty!

How did they know? Because they saw the two when the son of Zeus removes his pants and threw it on Taehyung's face. They were all about to leave too when the incident happened that's why they all scurried back on the other side of the dark wall because they don't wanna see how would Jeongguk get Taehyung out of the hell hole without them trying to kill each other.

"Do you think they're gone?" Yugyeom asked when they finally can't hear any bickering of the two.

"That lucky son of Zeus got the pretty boy with the flawless thighs? Aren't they supposed to be rivals just like their fathers?" Jackson asked that earned him a deadly stare from the Prince of the Underworld.

"No, Taehyung isn't his. And yes, they are still rivals." Yoongi replied as he lead the way out already when he made sure that the two are gone. Yugyeom raised his eyebrow at Yoongi's comment but he chose not to say anything about it anymore.

The three of the demigods finally managed to get out of the hell hole! They look around only to be surprised when they saw the trainers with the other trainees already. Minho was the first one to greet them with a tight hug each.

"Thank goodness you are all safe."

Yoongi glared at the trainer as he pushed him away.

"You almost got us all killed..AGAIN! you keep sending us in a mission when you haven't even taught any of the kids anything! That girl doesn't even know how to hold a sword properly and yet she has to run for her life already! If this training continues like this, we're gonna make a petition for another set of trainers and maybe you all can just join us to this fxcking adventures!" Yoongi yelled at the trainers because to be honest, it is only now that he saw Bambam and Eunwoo closely.

Yoongi's heart breaks at the state of the two. The two injured demigods are now lying inside the chariot while Hyungshik is tending on them but that didn't pacify the rage he's feeling at the moment.

"Yoongi, let's talk about this in the camp." Seokjin quickly interferes.

The prince of the underworld glared at the trainer but knowing Seokjin he knows that he'll just use his power on him so he just keeps quiet and subtly check on everyone. Yoongi sighs as he uttered a silent prayer towards the gods and goddesses for keeping everyone safe too.

He's about to walk away and join the other chariot where Jimin is when he noticed something again.

"Where's the two?" he asked no one in particular.

"If you are asking about Jeongguk and Taehyung they're already gone. They went ahead back to the camp." Namjoon replied to him.

Yoongi frowns at that.

"By feet?"

"No. Jeongguk took my horse. Don't worry, after what happened I guess the two deserves to have a rest." Namjoon informs the other but Yoongi just shakes his head in distaste because based on Jeongguk's reaction upon seeing Taehyung in his lace panty a while ago, REST is a bit impossible for the two..well, that is if Jeongguk is thinking the same as him.

The son of Hades just gave Namjoon a nod to end their conversation before he joins Jimin, Lyza and Kristal in the second chariot.

"Thank goodness you're alive." 

If Yoongi felt relieved knowing that nothing bad happened to Jimin and the rest of the demigods, he didn't say anything about it anymore. The group of trainers and demigods eventually get in to their assigned chariots before they all finally go back to the camp.

Meanwhile in the middle of the trek going down the camp, Jeongguk suddenly halted the horse under the huge acacia tree.

"Bird, why'd you stop now? It's getting darker." Taehyung said when the son of Zeus remains quiet behind him.

Jeongguk takes a deep breathe, his hands tightened on the reign of the horse because how the fuck will he managed to go on when a living tease is right in front of him.

Taehyung is now wearing his trousers so he is fully covered already but since he placed him in front of him, he couldn't stop the seq demigod whenever he accidentally rubs his plump bottoms right in front of his crotch.

"Will you stop moving...please." Jeongguk asked for the nth time since they started to ride the horse but Taehyung just keeps saying yes only to keep moving again whenever the horse starts to walk again.

"Taehyung!" Jeongguk's voice isn't as friendly as his usualvoice anymore. He also stops yelling already so the son of Poseidon knows he really reached the sky demigod's limit.

"What?" he still chose to be a brat.

"We won't be able to go back to the camp in one piece if you keep moving. Stop rubbing me your ass or else, I'll be force to do something about it." Jeongguk breathes, his voice ragged though it's evidently tired.

Taehyung's eyes widened but the playfulness within him just wouldn't stop.

"D-do something? Something like what?" he asked.

Jeongguk closed his eyes as if he's trying to control himself because to be honest, he feels like all the bad spirits are trying to possess him the moment he saw Taehyung with that white lace panty inside the Labyrinth. It also doesn't help him when he remembers that he already saw everything inside the skimpy piece of cloth back in the camp too. And now that the sea demigod is not even an inch away from him, Jeongguk knows he has no choice but to give up on his inner turmoil. He knows he couldn't fight himself longer so when he opens his eyes, he lets go of the horse's reign as he use his other hand to wrap around Taehyung's waist while he use the other to tilt his neck so he could see the pretty demigod's face.

"Stay still." Jeongguk remembers to warn the animal just in case it suddenly decides to run away. Taehyung gasps!

The sea demigod knows what's coming the moment Jeongguk gently turns his face on him and he knows he has a choice. He could push him back or maybe he could jump off the horse but instead of doing that, he found himself closing his eyes as he parts his lips waiting for his kiss.

Jeongguk can't help but smile to himself upon seeing the brat closing his eyes for him. The lust creeping all over his body is suddenly washed away with a stronger emotion he couldn't identify yet.

"You really are something else, son of Poseidon." he mumbles before he leans closer to leave a peck on the tip of Taehyung's nose before he let go of his neck to hold the reign again.

Taehyung slowly opens his eyes and met Jeongguk's grey eyes staring back at him.

"Shall we go back home?" Jeongguk asked and this time the sea demigod is speechless as he nods at him. The tiredness in Jeongguk's voice made him realized how the sky demigod just fought for their lives. He even feels so ashamed teasing him just a while ago and when he felt Jeongguk's lips on his nose, he just knew how tired the other is.

"Y-yeah, let's go home."

The ride going back to their cabin became more relax without Taehyung teasing. The arm wrap around his torso is enough for him to keep still while his back is still pressed into Jeongguk's firm chest.

It only took them almost an hour when they finally reached their cabin.

The sky demigod skillfully get off the horse before he offers his hand to Taehyung.

The sea demigod wanted to tell Jeongguk that he could manage, that he is a good rider of horse since he started to walk but then he likes the idea of being taken care of so he just let the other help him too. The two of them entered their cabin, still in silence. And since Taehyung is feeling gross because of the mud and blood in his body and clothes, he informed the other that he's going to use the bathroom first hoping that Jeongguk would disagree again.

Unfortunately, the sky demigod just nods at him in agreement. Taehyung is a bit disappointed to that but he still decided to go. He's about to enter the bathroom when Jeongguk suddenly grabs his wrist and yanks him back towards his own body. Taehyung gasps when the other suddenly hugs him from the back. Jeongguk wraps his two arms around Taehyung's waist while he buries his face on the sea demigod's fluffy hair.

Taehyung doesn't know what to say or do so he just keeps still and wait for Jeongguk to say something but the other remains quiet too. 

"J-jeongguk...what are you doing?" Taehyung finally found his voice again after few minutes of keeping still.

Jeongguk cant help but chuckles upon hearing the other calling him by his name already. The truth is, he also doesn't know what is he doing. Heck, he doesn't even know why is he suddenly being soft but all he knows is every single cell of his body is calling for the need to be close to Taehyung as if he's too scared to let the other go.

"Ya! Bird this isn't funny anymore." Taehyung tried to push him back but Jeongguk didn't let go.

"You're cute when you're stammering but you're the cutest when you call me by my name.. I'm glad you're safe now Tae." Jeongguk replied finally and maybe his words and the way he called the other makes Taehyung speechless again. The softness in the sky demigod's voice feels so genuine and it made something inside the sea demigod this time.

"W-what do you mean I'm cute? Maybe you mean I'm gross!" Taehyung said as he really force himself to push the other away from him because he feels like Jeongguk can hear the loud beating of his heart already.

Jeongguk smiled to himself as he watches the other go inside the bathroom. He feels so good knowing that he isn't the only one having a crazy heart because he also felt Taehyung's heart loud beating when he was hugging him.

The sky demigod proceeds to their bedroom to wait. But the moment Jeongguk saw his bed, he immediately dives into it. He temporarily forgets his rule not to be near his bed when he hasn't taken a shower yet because damn, the poor boy finally starts to feel all the soreness and tiredness of his body. It only took him less than five minutes before he finally fall asleep without taking a shower.

Taehyung on the other hand is panicking inside their shared bathroom. The sea demigod stared at the silver necklace that is now his bracelet on his wrist.

"Focus on the mission first Taehyung." he whispered.

Taehyung finishes cleaning himself inside the bathroom before he finally go back to their bedroom to inform the other that he could also use the shower already, but to his surprise Jeongguk is already snoring cutely in his own bed.

"No wonder you were suddenly so soft."

The sea demigod left and went to his space in the room when he realized how uncomfortable Jeongguk is on his bed for having the monster's blood and his own blood smudge in his skin. He also knows that the sky demigod is wearing some tight body armor inside his clothes.

"Grrrrr, Jeongguk!" he gritted his teeth as he proceeds to go to the bathroom to get a basin of warm water and a face towel he could use to clean the other.

Taehyung sighs as he stares at the sky demigod. Jeongguk looks so little while sleeping unlike when he's fighting. 

Taehyung knows he'll get a lot of teasing the moment Jeongguk wakes up but he just couldn't sleep comfortably in his bed knowing that the other is not so he starts stripping of his clothes. Taehyung froze the moment he realized what he's doing. Jeongguk is lying on his bed with his boxers only and he suddenly feels his face warming up in embarrassment because he feels like a pervert ogling at the other.

"I'm not tho... I'm just going to clean him up." Taehyung didn't even know why he's trying to reason out because no one is there to question him.

In the end, the son of Poseidon found himself using the face towel to clean the now dried blood on Jeongguk's skin. He changed the water in his basin a lot of times and to be honest at some point he got tired already but he keeps reminding himself that without Jeongguk, he would've been dead already so he continues to clean him up while trying not to stare at his expose abs and thighs.

"For goodness sake, why are you build like a rock..a perfect rock I must say." Taehyung keeps mumbling to himself while trying to dry Jeongguk's body with a new towel. At first he thought of just leaving the other naked like that and maybe cover him with blanket but when he's about to leave, he just decided to help him wear a fresh set of clothes too.

It was easy for him to put on Jeongguk's shirt but when he's about to put on his new set of lower garments, Taehyung gulps. He could just imagine Jeongguk's d---no!

"Taehyung focus." he mumbles to himself again before taking the towel to cover Jeongguk's crotch first before pulling down the soiled boxers then put on the new one right after.

After the long minutes of war in Taehyung's head, he finally managed to put on sweatpants and shirt on Jeongguk's sleeping figure. He even pull another blanket to cover the other because he knows it's getting cold. He was about to leave and rest in his own bed too when Jeongguk suddenly catches his hand and pull him back on the bed.

"Aaaargh!" Taehyung screams but Jeongguk just move a little to make sure he has a space on the bed before he rests his one leg on top of him.

"Stay...sweetnight Tae." he whispered before he continues to sleep again.

Taehyung knows he has a choice. He could just push the other to let go of himself and go back to his bed or to pretend that he's too weak to free himself from Jeongguk's grip...he chose the latter.

'Just for this evening..let's just say I'm weak.' Taehyung thought to himself before he close his eyes and buries his face into Jeongguk's chest.

That evening, he let the moon in the sky judged his morals because for him, the only thing that matters at that moment is the loud beating he can hear on Jeongguk's heart next to him.

****Namjoon and the rest of the trainers are called in to the hearth. Hestia is already waiting for them at her throne when they entered. The goddess who protects the family and home looks serene while drinking her ambrosia beside the fire in the middle of the room.

"Make yourself comfortable, we have a long night to discuss things that are getting out of hand." Hestia said while leading everyone to their seats.

Minho, Seokjin & Hwasa settled ln her right while Namjoon & Hyungshik chose to sit on her left.

"So, Jeongguk slayed the beast." 

"That's what the son of Apollo said. He ripped off the monster's head but this time he didn't do it with his barehands. He used his father given sword." Minho replied.

"And how about the smart one?" she asked before sipping her drink again.

"He...well..he's wearing a lace panty.. i kinda like it. The boy has a taste." Seokjin replied with a smirk.

Hwasa and Namjoon wanted to cover his mouth in embarassment but Hestia just look at them with a straight face.

"He did find the exit of the Labyrinth. He really is something else." Seokjin continues. 

Hestia nods as she listens to the demigod's report. They told her everything Yoongi and Yugyeom told them a while ago.

"The moment we let them have their power back, they would be unstoppable. I do not want any of the demigods destroy my home, but the Olympians, my siblings are insisting to let their children have their powers and gifts. What do you suggest regarding this matter?" Hestia asked the trainers.

"Let them have their powers back." Hwasa immediately replied, obviously excited of the chaos that would bring them. Minho and Namjoon quickly opposed to the idea.

"I don't think giving the Prince of the Underworld his power would be a good idea especially now that things are getting complicated." Namjoon explained to the goddess.

"Complicated?"

"Between him and the prince of Sky. They both found interest towards the smart one." Seokjin replied with a smile.

"But isn't it the son of Poseidon is now bethroted? Hmmn, i wonder how this will change everything now. Do not send the trainees to any adventure for now. Teach them what they need to learn and about the treasure...did they pass?"

Minho nods in agreement while Namjoon frowns in confusion.

"How will they learn if they'll treat us like the others? We're running out of time." the son of Athena uttered.

"It is in their daily mundane life that you'll see how they'll prove if they brought the treasure back."

"You know that they already trusts each other Namjoon. You saw how even the prince pf the underworld checked on everyone the moment he got out of the Labyrinth." Seokjin tried to defend the trainees but Minho is too quick to add doubt in the flame too.

"We saw how Yoongi reacted because Taehyung and Jeongguk were already gone a while ago. We need to see them interact with each other like normal people do before we let them have a hold on their powers again." the son of Zeus reasoned out.

"That will only take another time. Why dont we---"

"Silence."

The trainers fell into silence with that one word from the goddess. Hestia stands up from her throne and starts to walk around the room while her fire on the hearth keeps growing. "Let the humans in them act for themselves this time. The law of the deities are always questionable for its vagueness. Let the humans act like humans, boundless of their thread of fate and let's see who's gonna fall for who and who's gonna rise above them all. Remember what the Oracle told us, the only one who could stop the plague is the one holding the soulfire!"

"But what even is soulfire? No one knows of it because it has never existed!" Namjoon asked in confusion but Hestia shakes her head off slowly.

"A soulfire is someone who breaks the fate and soulbound. It is literally the power to burn someone's existing fate." Hestia's eyes began to glow upon remembering the hidden history of the creation of Olympian gods and goddesses and how they all managed to survive their deaths.

"And there's only one god who had it before..he's the sole reason why everyone of us are existing right now because he broke the unbreakable. He defied the destiny of deities. He managed to burn Cronus' destiny to reign over the whole realm. Zeus...he was once the beholder of the soulfire!" Hestia's hand is trembling upon remembering how her own brother defeated their father for them to be alive!

Namjoon and the rest of the trainers are speechless! Never did they imagine that their own parents had to win a war from the Titans even before they existed and lived in the past. The history they know are all about
