This wasn't how the king of hell expected to spend his time.

He was a king, but right now he felt like more of a servant. A certain Park Jimin's servant. He sat across from the pretty male, watching as he so happily stuffed his cheeks with dumpling after dumpling. It was strange to Jungkook how something so simple as a human food could bring the other so much joy. Perhaps this was the effect of the pregnancy or maybe it was just Jimin craving something from his life as a human, but it was interesting. Jimin swallowed down the mouthful and felt eyes on him, a certain someone's eyes. Jimin's amber – brown orbs lifted to meet those of the hellion king, and he blinked. Jungkook met his gaze, unphased as Jimin seem to squirm a little.

"W – What?" Jimin blurted out as he slowly set his chopsticks down and puffed up his cheeks, looking almost like some kind of cute, small rodent Jungkook thought.

"Nothing." Jungkook answered smoothly. Jimin's brows furrowed as he glared a little at the other.

"Nothing? Then why are you staring at me like that?" Jimin asked. Jungkook quirked a brow as he shifted to cross his legs under the table.

"Like what?" Jungkook asked.

"Like that?! All...judgy and whatnot!" Jimin said as he scowled, his pout growing. Jungkook stared at Jimin for a moment longer before he chuckled.

"I am not judging you Little Bird; I am simply in awe of your endless appetite is all. "Jungkook said as he reached for the glass of water, bring it to his lips to take a few experimental sips. Jimin huffed and rolled his eyes as he sat back, stabbing a dumpling with his chopsticks and holding it up.

"Well, you try being pregnant Jungkook. All this kid wants to do is eat and no matter how much I eat, it is never enough. I wonder if it is like this for a woman." Jimin said with a small sigh, shoving the dumpling in his mouth. Jungkook set the water down and then closed his eyes as he brought the same hand to his chin, his expression turning thoughtful.

"It is possible, but I doubt it." Jungkook said, "You are carrying my child and to be fair, I – well, we, don't eat this human made garbage."

Jimin paused in chewing, his eyes growing slightly wide at the realization. That was right. Unlike a normal pregnancy, with a woman, a ravenous appetite and cravings was common but Jimin doubted it was anything like this. This felt like something else, something more. Jimin swallowed as he set the chopsticks down and he frowned.

"...so, I will have to eat...that to feel...I dunno, better?" Jimin asked, his voice small as he already didn't like where this conversation was going. Jungkook's eyes narrowed as he tilted his head.

"You mean souls? Human flesh and bone?" Jungkook asked, but his tone was serious as he watched Jimin closely. Jimin lowered his eyes, feeling a sick twist in his stomach because normally or before, that would have made him want to throw up but now in this moment, it actually sounded appealing and that scared him.

"I – "Jimin started, but Jungkook cut him off before he could stutter out his excuse in an effort to fool himself.

"You have to Jimin, you won't be able to avoid it for much longer. You are not the same as you were before. You are a Fallen now, that child growing in your belly, our child, is a Fallen. We are not humans, we are – "Jungkook was the one cut off this time.

"– Monsters." Jimin said and Jungkook's eyes widened slightly before his mouth closed and he sat back as he stared at Jimin. His eyes lowered as he sighed and glanced to the side. Watching the people in the park, families, students, all sorts just going about their daily lives and unaware of the two threats that sat at the table outside of the food truck.

"Yes, if you want to look at it that way Jimin. I suppose we are." Jungkook said as a gentle breeze shifted the wavy black locks against his face. Jimin stared at Jungkook for a long while before he glanced down at the small bump that was visible under his shirt. He gently set his free hand against it and a small, but sad smile crossed his plush lips. 'Even you little one.'

Jimin thought to himself, but somehow felt like the child inside of him could hear his voice. Jimin's eyes widened when a larger hand was suddenly placed over his own and he glanced up, meeting Jungkook's face as he stared into the piercing eyes that sent a chill down his spine.

"I will take care of it, all you have to do, is eat." Jungkook said. Jimin glanced down as chewed on his bottom lip, he could feel a hunger pang and the idea of it all just seemed so easy. Jimin closed his eyes when he felt Jungkook's warm hand slid against his cheek, thumb stroking under Jimin's eye.

"Trust me." Jungkook whispered, leaning in just a little closer to connect their lips as Jimin let out a soft noise. Feeling the warmth of Jungkook's lips, the softness that always made his heart melt and the love behind it. The love only for him. It calmed him, but also scared him. Jungkook pulled back slightly, licking his lips of the excess as Jimin slightly opened his eyes and stared into Jungkook's own.

"O – Okay."
