Set Aflame

"Come in!"

You push open the door to one of Yoongi's guest rooms and peek inside. Sitting on the bed are Namjoon and Jin, just doing stuff on their phones.

"Morning Y/n," Jin says. "How'd you sleep?"

"Oh I bet she slept great," Namjoon says, giving you a very obvious wink. You shoot him a glare and then turn your attention to Jin.

"Eh I could sleep more," you say. You walk in, close the door behind you, and head over to their bed. You climb on the end of it and sit crisscross in front of your brothers. But you don't say anything.

Namjoon goes back to his phone after a moment and Jin raises an eyebrow.

"Something on your mind?"

You nod, placing your face in your hands, elbows propped up against your knees.

"You gonna share?" Jin turns his phone off and sets it face down on the bed. You bite the inside of your cheek and think about your answer for a moment.

"It's Jungkook," you say.

"Ah," Jin says.

"Already having problems?" Namjoon asks, suddenly interested."

You shake your head. "No. Just..."

"Wait hold on am I missing something?" Jin asks.

"They're together now."

"Oh nice. Had a good night then?" Jin wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. You widen your eyes and shake your head again.

"No oh my god! No that's not- we didn't- we slept on the couch anyway."

"Okay, what's your problem then?"

You pout and shrug your shoulders.

"I don't know... just... This is the first time I've ever felt anything for anyone and I don't want it to just... be... temporary?"

"If you just started dating, why are you already worried about the end of it?"

"He's dated so many people," you say.

"Oh. And you're worried you're no different?"

You nod.

"Do you think you'll be temporary? Or do you think this might mean something to him?"

"Doesn't every girl think she's gonna be the special one? I want this to mean something, but what if it won't? I didn't know him when he was dating other girls."

Jin sits up and stares down at the duvet in thought.

"You know, I'm not exactly sure what typa guy he is, cause I met him yesterday, but- think about it this way: you have cool powers, other girls didn't. You and him are linked- kinda like soulmates- which is also not like all the other girls. And-"

"My powers get boring when I can't use them. It's not really something I can play around with every day."

"So you think he'll get bored? No- listen. Guys are simple. He knows that you two are linked in a special way- he's not thinking about anyone else at this point. He knows it's special, so you're just the obvious choice here."

"This burning thing will only go on for so long before it gets dangerous. And then... I dunno what happens next."

"You just fuck."

"I don't want to do that. My demon's pushy though, so there isn't really much of a choice here. But I still don't want to."

"And you think that makes it more difficult to like you?"
