"It is not normal"

...

Yoongi swears he is not lying about the earlier incident. If he isn't living in the dorm with Jungkook but instead another individual, Yoongi is sure that the other individual will report him to the management or whatever and his image will be tainted even before the start of their official class all thanks to Jin.

It angers Yoongi even more when Jin left the kitchen without even explaining a thing to them. Jungkook on the other hand was confused with the situation. If Yoongi didn't use his power then what is the thing that is paining Jin?

Did the man really act out to frame his friend in front of him? Did the man, Did Jin really actually think that he will believe him more than his friend? What a joke. Of course the man didn't know that him and Yoongi has been friends for a long time so maybe, just to gain the attention he crave for, he really did that to Yoongi?

"Hyung, is it normal to bruise if someone use their power onto you?" Jin asks his brother from the phone call

"Someone use their power to hurt you? Are you alright? Should I confront the person?"

"No no, that's not it, actually he accidentally use his power onto me so now it's bruised" Jin figure out that lying to his brother is the best option for now. There is no way he will be telling his brother about the real situation.

"So is it normal to bruise?" Jin adds.

"It is not normal. Take your medicine, it will lessen the pain and wash away the colour. If it's still painful for you, search for a healer, I'm sure the academy has a lot. If it's urgent then meet me right away"

"Alright hyung, thank you" Jin replies.

"Did you eat yet?"

"I was about to, after the burnt cools down, I will grab my dinner" Jin says.

"Alright then, I have to go. Take care there"

"Yeah" Jin replies

And, the phone call was cut by his brother.

On the other hand, Yoongi with his hearing power, he listened to the conversation of Jin and his brother. And that does not make him happy. That fucker really telling his brother about the lie? Oh wow, Yoongi isn't surprise. It makes him hate the man even more.

A little over thirty minutes since Jin ran away from the kitchen to his room, he gets out from there right back to the kitchen, to clean the mess he created. Surprisingly some of his things has been organised in the fridge. Maybe the two did that and Jin is thankful for that or otherwise the food will turned bad.

The other things like instant and dry food, Jin himself put them away in the cabinet while the takeout food he sets on the kitchen counter to eat. Silently he eats alone wondering if the two already eat when they're out or not.

...

The morning is a mess for Jin. He overslept and now, he is running to where he is supposed to be twenty minutes ago when the first class started. The first class is the power balance class where they learn of how to balance both of their powers. It is the class only for the students who has more than one power.

Jin is sadden a bit because he and Junghwan will not be in that class since Junghwan has a sole power and he has two. He also know that there are only three classes open for the power balance class in which makes him has the 66.67% chance of being in the same class with either Jungkook or his other housemate.

When he entered the class, of course he is embarrassed of being late on the first day of their official class and also the first class he went to. He could feel the eyes of the students on his back when he approached the educator, Sir In Yoo.

He apologise deeply for being late and the educator just tell him to get a seat. Jin knows there will be a consequence of his fault as this is the best academy and he expect there is no easy ride in this academy until he graduates. When he was searching for an empty seat, guess what? God didn't favour him. Jungkook is in the same class as him.

Oh what worst could it be more than being in the same class as Jungkook?

"Jeon Jungkook, you will be pairing with Kim Seokjin for the next class ahead"

That.

Jin swears he saw how Jungkook's expression was when Sir In Yoo said the words. Well, the feeling is mutual though. It isn't like he appreciates being Jungkook's partner for the class either.

And after an hour and a half, the class come to an end, they part ways going to their next class. In the next class Jin met Jimin, the man he saw when he first arrived at the academy.

Unlike his two housemates in which are also the friends of Jimin, Jimin is nice and kind. It was right after the class that the two went to the cafeteria together in which Junghwan called upon Jin to join him for lunch.

"So, you've met each other?" Junghwan asks the moment Jin and Jimin is standing in front of him.

"Huh?"

"Jimin, he is one of my housemates" Junghwan states.

How unfair it is that Junghwan get a nice and kind housemate while him? Never mind that.

"Anyway Jimin, this man besides you is my longest friend ever, my best friend Jin. We've known each other since we were like six or something"

Jimin nods at that.

"Are you with someone?" Jin asks.

"Yeah, my new friend wanted to hang with us. He is in the rest room" Junghwan says.

They nod then take a seat.

"How was your day?" Junghwan asks.

"A mess, I woke up late and was twenty minutes late for my first class" Jin replies.

"I told you to dye your hair during the weekend but oh my, of course you will ignore my advise cause apparently Kim Seokjin is always right" Junghwan diss him.

"Shut up, I don't want to attract attention because of my hair colour" Jin says.

"But you looks good with purple" Jimin joins the conversation.

"I know but still too much attention can cause trouble and I don't like trouble" Jin replies while spooning himself some food.

"Hey-" a man came to them.

"Guys, this is Hakyeon. My new friend as well as my classmate" Junghwan introduce to both Jimin and Jin.

They smiles at each other.

"I know you, you're Tae's housemate right?" Jimin asks.

"Who is Tae?" Jin asks back as the sudden brought up name came into their conversation.

"My friend" Jimin replies to Jin since he is the only one who doesn't know who is Tae.

"Yes, you're absolutely right. I'm his housemate" Hakyeon states.

"Okay before we dig deeper to our conversation and food, this is my longest friend ever, Jin and this is my housemate Jimin" Junghwan says to Hakyeon.

"I've seen him yesterday when the hair was still purple" Hakyeon replies.

"Really?" Jin asks as he couldn't recount the memory of meeting Hakyeon.

"Yeah, you've been standing in the lobby for awhile when I was checking in" Hakyeon says.

"Well this nice and kind friend of mine forgot to inform me that he had his business in the toilet and left me standing alone there for quite some time" Jin glares at Junghwan in which the latter chuckles.

"I didn't mean to" Junghwan states while drinking his drink.

"Yeah yeah" Jin replies, again, spooning himself some food.

He saw the mark. He saw it the moment Jin was spooning himself some food and the sleeve kind of slip down showing a little trace of skin.

"What is that? Why your wrist is bruising?" Hakyeon asks gaining the attention of both Jimin and Junghwan who are sitting besides him at the round table.

"It's nothing" Jin replies.

"Let me see" Jimin says while taking Jin's wrist in his hand.

A soft purple glow seep through Jimin's hand to Jin's wrist. Jin just watch what Jimin is doing before muttering something.

"It is not going to work. It will stay there for awhile until its gone" Jin replies, however he is still grateful with what Jimin is doing as the tingling burn feeling started to subsided.

"Where did you get that?" Junghwan asks in concern as when the two arrived at the academy yesterday, there is no bruise on Jin's wrist, it's barely a complete twenty four hours since they've been here but Jin already got bruised?

"You know, accident happened" Jin says as he pulls away his hand gently from Jimin.

"It is not normal for that, you should go to the infirmary or something. Elementals like us don't get bruise last that longer. A normal bruise to us should not last that long" Jimin states.

Fingers cross.

"I will, after the class end" Jin replies.

They nods at him. Their break time continue for a little more than ten minutes before each one of them part ways. They went to their respective classes and begin a new lesson before call it a day.

When Jin first arrived at the dorm, he honestly thought he was the first to arrive rather than his two housemates but apparently he isn't. Yoongi is there. Jin now knows his name all thanks to Jimin for their conversation during the break time.

Jin quietly took off his shoes and walks to his room but before he can reach his room, Yoongi stopped him.

"I expect no less than you, tarnishing other's image just because you want them to feel bad? How low of you?"

What the hell? It is so out of the blue for Jin to hear the words from Yoongi. What is his problem? As far as Jin knows both him and Yoongi didn't do anything to annoy each other. Jin fully respect the latter's request to stay away from his life.

If it is about last night, honestly Yoongi shouldn't feel so triggered about that because he didn't do anything to him neither that Jin do anything to Yoongi.

"Can I help you? It seems like you have something for me to help you with" Jin asks.

"Don't pretend like you have no idea what you have done last night" Yoongi says.
