23ㅣInvincible

“…I think I like you too, Seol.”
The two confirmed their feelings for each other and locked eyes for the first time in a long while. After staring at each other for a few minutes, Taehyung smiled faintly and gave Seol a gentle kiss.
Seol-i looked startled by Taehyung's sudden physical contact, and Taehyung patted her head before leaving the room and heading to the living room. Seol-i was dumbfounded for a moment before running back to her room, where she stroked her lips and thought of Taehyung.
Taehyung went into the living room and explained the whole story to Yoongi, who was sitting on the sofa. Yoongi congratulated Taehyung and cheered him on. Then, the conversation shifted to that guy, and he began to plan again, feeling that he needed to end his persistent feud with him.
With the plan all set, Taehyung cautiously headed toward Seol-i's room. A knock on the door yielded no response. Taehyung, anxious that the same day would repeat itself, opened the door. Contrary to his expectations, Seol-i was fast asleep on the bed.
Taehyung sat down on the edge of the bed so as not to wake Seol-i, and while fixing Seol-i's hair, he spoke to the sleeping Seol-i.
“I will catch that guy and make sure neither you nor I suffer anymore.”
“I’m sorry, Seol-ah, for making things difficult for you by meeting someone like me.”
"love you."
A few days had passed since Taehyung and Seol-i became lovers, and the day had finally arrived for them to meet that bastard and take revenge. This time, the location wasn't the warehouse, and Taehyung thought it would be a favorable fight. But that thought...illusionIt was.
He was always relaxed, smiling and welcoming Taehyung wherever and whenever they met. Perhaps because he couldn't use his iron, he immediately launched a mental attack, leaving Taehyung unable to come to his senses.
Although Yoongi copied Taehyung's abilities to some extent, he was stronger than Taehyung expected when he was not in his right mind. In the end, Taehyung was pushed back, but he couldn't retreat.
“Are you tired already?”
“Stop it, if you keep doing that, Kim Taehyung will really die!!”
“So what if he dies? His fate is destruction anyway.”
“This is the fate of a superpowered person who hides a human being.”
“Are you in pain? Just watching your friend die?”
“Stop… Stop the ability…”
Taehyung couldn't come to his senses and was mentally controlled, eventually using his powers to attack Yoongi. Yoongi, a copy of Taehyung, was naturally defeated by his telekinesis, and because they were friends, he couldn't use his power called Sisum to kill him.
“Can I tell you something?”
“I have one more ability, Invincible.”
“…It’s something that never dies, right?”
“Correct, did you study superpowers?”
“No matter how hard you try, I won’t die~ That’s what I’m saying.”
“So you give up now?”
“You can’t achieve the revenge you dream of, because you can’t defeat me.”
Seokjin couldn't help but despair after hearing that. Invincible, the ability to never die, is, in a word, a phoenix. No matter who uses what superpower, the Invincible never dies. As Seokjin despaired and Yoongi was fighting Taehyung, Yoongi was sent flying by Taehyung, crashed into a wall, and fell. Taehyung tried to throw Yoongi as if under his control, but just as he was about to throw him, Seol-i ran out from somewhere and hugged Taehyung from behind.
The shock sent Yoongi crashing to the floor, and Seokjin barely managed to catch him by flying forward. When Seol released her grip and approached Taehyung, his eyes were gray, a color she'd never seen before. Taehyung was expressionless, and with those unfocused eyes, he used his telekinesis to strangle Seol and lift her into the air.
Seol-i was floating in the air, gasping for breath, and Seok-jin couldn't bring himself to help her. Seol-i cried in agony, and with difficulty opened her mouth to speak.
“This… let go, you… aren’t Kim Taehyung… ah.”
“Kim, Taehyung… Taehyung, oppa…”
As soon as he said that, Taehyung's eyes turned purple, and Seol-i fell to the floor. Seol-i clutched her neck and coughed repeatedly, and Taehyung came to his senses and ran straight to her.
“Seol-ah…!!”
“I… I am like this, I’m sorry…”
“That’s not what happened to you, oppa. You were manipulated.”
“I’m fine… Go see Seokjin oppa, I think Yoongi oppa is acting a little strange.”
“Seokjin oppa doesn’t look too happy either…”
“What is this, a human and a person with superpowers falling in love?”
“Is this some kind of forbidden love?”
"… shut up."
“Are you a human being who only talks?”
“Would you rather see the person you love suffer, or would you rather have the person you love see you suffer?”
“Both would be fun.”
That bastard was toying with Taehyung and Seol-i, taunting them. But both Taehyung and Seol-i were within his grasp, and there was no way to deal with the Invincible. Seokjin was already so exhausted that teleportation was a struggle, and his only option was to suffer the bastard's blows.
The guy suddenly closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I understand." He must have been communicating telepathically with someone. He received the telepathic message, then chuckled and said,
“Shall we go see how interesting the forbidden love between a human and a superpowered person is?”
