Diabolus [악마] - °KTH°

"I want you to listen carefully to what I'm going to say now,"

It seems like this is a no laughing matter by the look Jungkook was giving me. I inhaled deeply and nodded.

"The world we are living in right now wasn't the same a few decades ago. Some people sensed unusual powers within them. And when they could feel these powers grow and strengthen, they were no longer identified as humans. Now you may ask, what exactly were they then? So such people were broadly divided into two categories. One was under the rule of Seraphim, and the other under Satan."

"But Jungkook how does this-"

"Shh, just let me finish. You'll understand. And maybe you'll relate."

I shut my mouth and decided to listen judiciously to what he's saying.

"Now, Seraphim is the leader of the purest people who never committed something sinful or awful in their lives. These people feel a positive and divine energy upsurge in them and they realised that they're something different from humans. They realises that their existence is sui generis and they're now attached to Seraphim, in order words the angels."

My eye brows clashed together at these new deets which were gradually sinking in my head. I didn't understand how this was related to him ruining Tarhyung and I's date but this is kinda interesting, so I might as well listen more.

"On the other hand, Satan is the leader of people who think crookedly and sins run as venom underneath their skin. They were described as the magnets of bad deeds and darkness followed them everywhere they go. Unlike the angels, these could feel a negative and cursed energy grow within them. But they are very powerful. At times, even the angels can't control the power of evil, also known as the devils."

I nodded in cognizance and his words had started to seem sensible.

"We've always heard stories about angels and devils in our childhood and every time the good defeats bad. But no one tells what happens when the evil prevails over the purity. I know you must be thinking that I'm speaking bullshit and that this is nonsense. You might think that this is too much to digest but I feel like you needed to listen to this. I promise everything will make sen-"

I don't know what happened but suddenly I started feeling giddy and became oblivious to what he was saying. Besides I couldn't even hear what he was saying properly because my head started spinning.

My vision became unclear and I was stifling. His words were cramming up in my mind making the area around my temples hurt. My eyes started burning so I kept them close.

I could hear Jungkook say something but I couldn't quite register. Then I sensed some movement near me but I didn't dare to open my eyes.

My arms and legs got weak so I dropped the glass of water in my hand and it shattered into pieces splashing the water on my legs. And my skin started burning wherever the water splashed.

I heard Jungkook wince and then I felt him come closer to me. His muscular hand found it's way around my waist as he scooped me up in his arms.

I yelped in agony at the movement and nuzzled my head in the crook of his neck.

There. I saw it again.

The mysterious tattoo.

I don't know what it is about the tattoo but it sent shivers down my spine and soon, a blanket of darkness was wrapped around my entire body.

It was an unpleasant evening with gray leaden sky which lacked clouds. The howling gales gave me sombre vibes and I found myself sitting on a blue rustic bench in the middle of a lonesome street.

The cold breeze hit my face numbing my brain even more. I looked at my hand which held a red and golden colored ink pen.

I looked at it with bewilderment because I didn't have a paper or notebook with me so I didn't know what to do with it.

Then I slightly trembled unconsciously and pierced the sharp tip of the pen into my flesh. Surprisingly it didn't even hurt and I started drawing something on my wrist on the spur of the moment.

It was as if my hand had a mind of its own as it dragged the pen against my arm and I wasn't the one in control of it.

For some reasom, tears started brimming in my eyes and soon they poured out of the sockets making my vision blurry. It was making it difficult for me to see what I was drawing on my wrist even if my hand was drawing it on its own.

After a couple of minutes, the tears evaporated and I glanced at my arm to see the finished piece of art.

I jerked back in shock after I had properly registered the design.

I had the same tattoo as Jungkook on my left wrist now.

I poked my arm with the pen one more time and this time, blood started gushing out of my skin. The blood had colored the wings of the tattoo perfectly, as if it wasn't fortuitous.

I had the same snakes around pole and wings thing on my arm now. The only difference was that the wings on mine were colored in crimson red.

Gasping for air, my eyes shot open and my senses eventually came back to me. Fear surged in me as I couldn't recognize the place I woke up in.

It was a dingy bedroom with a king sized bed placed in the middle. A couple of cupboards on the left and a sofa cum chair on the right. A dim lamp which emitted a yellowish light was placed on a circular table placed adjacent to the bed. The furniture was drab, dull coloured and vintage type.

And even though it wasn't an ordinary, good-vibe-giving room, I felt comfortable in it.

Slowly getting up from the bed I was laying in, I spotted Jungkook sitting on its edge. That was when I realised that I was in his house.

He didn't seem to notice that I had awoken because he had his back facing me as he stared into nothingness.

The collar of his shirt was a bit crumpled giving me a proper view of his tattoo.

I shuffled in the bed trying to reach for the tattoo because it was as if it was calling for me. The movement broke his stupor so he turned around to face me just as I was about to touch the tattoo. His eyes widened when he looked at me.

"Noona, you're awa-" I broke him off mid sentence.

"What is happening to me?" I asked him as he frowned in confusion.

"Why did I faint right now? What's with your tattoo? The first time I touched it, my head started aching a lot, and now I've started to see it in my dreams. I even drew it on my own arm. What is it even about?" the bubble of questions in me had bursted as I turned him around again, his back facing me.

I rolled his shirt down and touched the tattoo. I felt electricity running through my veins and I flinched and shuddered violently. Jungkook experienced the same thing as I could see him shudder too.
