Seven Sins [JJK]✔️

14. Interrogation

Taehyung looks stricken as he glances between you three.
"What do you mean 'one of you'?" He asks, voice on the verge of cracking.

Namjoon and Yoongi step towards Taehyung.
Joon opens the notebook to the first page.
"I guess it's time for a recital." He says then starts reading. He tells Taehyung everything. Every detail from the start of your discovery to the last vision of Jimin.

After explaining, Taehyung looks like he's about to vomit.
"What... is wrong with you people." He asks frightened.

"Taehyung. After everything you've seen today, are you seriously still being naive?" You ask. Taehyungs eyes gloss over in deep thought.

"I was confused too. But here I am, in front of you." Yoongi says with a shrug. Taehyung steps back, almost tripping over the couch.

"B-but what does the fact that you all being aliens have to do with me?" The shocked boy questions.

You take a step closer. "Everything." You mutter under your breath.
"Taehyung... what you saw was a Saker, the creature Namjoon read to you about. We have reason to believe it only targets us... for now anyways."
Taehyung shakes his head in denial but it doesn't stop you.

You continue. "And when I asked you to slap Yoongi, it was a test. You know that I have the ability to control human minds. You didn't slap Yoongi because you're not human Taehyung."
You hear Yoongi say "Thank god." But you ignore it and press on.

"Before you killed your father, you said you 'snapped'. I think your sin activated. I think you subconsciously stabbed your father with that bottle. Can you tell us what you were thinking about or feeling in that moment?" You ask, trying to sound as gentle as possible.
Taehyung looks into your eyes and hesitantly nods.

"I felt scared and slightly angry. I was sick of his abuse and I wanted my sister to not hurt anymore. I guess I felt jealous of other families at that moment. Having a caring mother and father... you know?"
You look at the boys with a knowing look.
Jealous?

"Taehyung... would you call what you felt... envy?" You ask.
He thinks for a second before nodding.

"Namjoon told you about the seven sins when reading the notebook... Envy is one of them. A inherited sin from your parent who was in a council of some sort. You're an envy, and when you felt it, your powers kicked in... for defence I presume."
Taehyung stares at you blankly, taking all the new information in.

"But... I still killed my adoptive father." He says, on the verge of tears. You rush to him and place an arm on his shoulder.

"By what you've told us... he deserved it. And it was out of your control. Both Namjoon and I harmed people when our powers surfaced too." You show him a small thin smile for comfort as you pat his back.

"If it's any comfort, he wasn't your real father anyway." Yoongi says. You shoot a glare to Yoongi, asking him to shut up.

"What now?" Taehyung asks. You look to the others to help you.

"I was going to suggest calling the police. But that was before. You didn't mean to kill your father and... I believe your innocent. There's only two choices left for you now." Joon says.

"You can either hide away, fearful of the Sakers that could show up at any moment. And you can never tell anyone that you did kill your father but it was an accident and that you have powers- because if you do, you'll turn into a lab rat."
You kick Joon lightly and tell him to be gentler.

"Or you can join us and three other mystery people in saving the world from Luhan. We'll look after each other." Joon smiles at him. "The choice is yours Taehyung."

Taehyung looks up to Joon. "The... 'Sakers' will still be after me either way, right?" Taehyung asks Joon who nods.
"Then... I'll come with you guys. I'll help you guys against Luhan." Taehyung firmly states.

"But what's your power? We all have two, Telekinesis and another. Except Y/N, she's a Pax so she has three." Yoongi questions as he rubs his chin.

"I don't know." Taehyung looks at the ground deflated. "I feel pretty useless right now." Taehyung says with a pout.

"Well you said that one second you were empty handed then you suddenly had a broken glass bottle in your hand right?" Joon asks. You could practically see his mind working.

"Yeah, seeing my- that monster of a father hit my... sister... reminded me of a couple days ago. He was piss-drunk and threw a bottle at the floor near me. He made me clean it up bare handed."
Your expression softens at Taehyungs confession. It makes you bring your hand back onto his shoulder to rub it again. Rub away the pain.

"I think... I think I have an idea. Come on guys, Yoongi go invisible and Taehyung pull up your hoodie." Joon instructs.

"What? Why?" Yoongi says as he gets up.

Namjoon sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose in exasperation. "Because you're famous and Taehyungs kind of famous in a not so good way. We can't risk people seeing you guys."

"What?! We're going back out? But it's..." Jungkook pauses to glance at his wrist watch.
"Oh my god it's 1am! Where'd the day go?!" Jungkook groans.

Namjoon grabs Jungkooks shoulders and drags him towards the door. He stops and motions for you and the guys to come too.

"We're going to test out my theory on Taehyungs power." Joon smiles.
