25. Seven Wonders

Namjoon shifted the boulder to his other hand, rolling his shoulder and groaning slightly. He watched as Hoseok kissed Jia's cheek before slowly floating upwards, until he rose to the sky and nearly disappeared, then Emily pulled Jia to the side, where her safety was ensured. You and Yoongi shuffled, stationing themselves to each side of the ogre as Yoongi summoned flames on the ground around him.

Glancing behind him, Namjoon saw both Jin and Jimin staring at him while batting their eyelashes like a pair of princesses. "What?"

"We're sticking with you," Jin shrugged as the ogre roared in the background, Jungkook screaming complaints because of the amount of ogre saliva on his wings.

"Why—"

"Watch out!"

Namjoon turned around upon hearing Jimin's warning, freezing a bit when he saw some boulders, those he was controlling some time ago, heading towards him. He blinked once, twice, hearing Jimin and Jin brace themselves then threw a punch, one which completely shattered the boulder into tiny bits. He simply rubbed his knuckles, not at all faced by the sudden scenario.

"That's why. I doubt that we'd get killed around you, unless you destroy us yourself," Jimin released a breath and a light laugh, letting the ball of electricity on his palm slowly disappear, Namjoon not really being amused by his joke. Running a hand through his orange hair, he glanced around, wondering why the skyscrapers surrounding them were somehow unharmed. It was understandable, since they were still in outskirts of Seoul, but it still confused him greatly. "Namjoon, what did you mean by if the ogre does something low?"

Namjoon didn't think his words through that much, really, but he somehow knew instinctively that the ogre had something up its sleeve, something that would catch all of them off-guard, that not even the strongest of them all could comprehend. He didn't know why but he thought it was possible, after all so many surprising things have happened in such a short amount of time.

As if on cue, the ogre made a low kick, smashing everything on the ground. Namjoon instantly followed his instincts and jumped, followed by both Jimin and Jin, dodging the hairy foot as it smashed into small buildings at the side. Thankfully, the civilians were evacuated and nobody was harmed.

Expecting to land on the ground, Namjoon yelped when he landed on something soft instead, and he had to hold on to prevent himself from flying off it. After inhaling a putrid smell for a good minute, he released that he was on the ogre's foot, which was still swinging around to try and injure those on the ground — including some civilians who were still shuffling away out of panic.

"Namjoon!," Jimin yelled from below, still dodging the ogre's smelly foot.

Somehow, despite the chaos and the bile rising in his throat, Namjoon came up with an idea. Whilst his nails dug into the soft flesh of the ogre's foot, he realized that there was a way to stop the ogre from moving around, making it easier for them to rescue Jungkook and eventually kill the ogre itself.
