Diabolus [악마] - °KTH°

026

Jungkook said those words and my eyes widened immediately. His dark orbs boring into mine as I calmly waited for him to reveal all secrets. 

He got up from his seat and made his way towards the mirror. His fingers outlined the edge of it and he spoke,

"I assume you didn't think I was lying when I said that we're both devils, am I right?"

"I d-don't know. I trust you and what you said was relatable and it helped me connect the dots."

Jungkook's turned around and looked in my direction as soon as those words slipped out of my mouth. His mouth curved into a tiny smile. 

"Yeah, I was just making sure."

He then glanced back at the mirror before opening his mouth his mouth again.

"Now you must be wondering when exactly all this started and how. Your transformation started the moment you began seeing these nightmares. They gave you hints as well but I don't think you caught them. The reason why you exist started changing as well."

My mouth was zipped up as I listened to him attentively. It was as if my ears were so desperate that I didn't even notice the immense windy weather which was firing outside the doors of his bungalow. I slowly hummed in acknowledgment waiting for him to continue.

"The world has numerous types of beings. We fall under the rule and power of Satan, the ruler of the dark and evil as I said before. You know that. But before, we could write our fate by ourselves. But now, the Satan himself is designing our future for us. And we shouldn't even try to go against what's planned because it's lethal."

"Yes! I know this already Jungkook. Just get to the point! Why are you beating around the bush?" I asked impatiently.

"I'll have to go slowly Noona, I don't know how you will react or digest this much information. Please just listen carefully to what I'm saying."

"Satan has been called by various names. Sometimes called Devil or called by the name of Lucifer. You are the daughter of Lucifer, the evil himself."

My blood iced up and my insides churned violently. My body temperature dropped instantly and the atmosphere got thicker each second. The density of the air decreased making it harder to breathe. I almost felt no oxygen entering my lungs and I kept staring at Jungkook with wide eyes.

He hurriedly came and sat next to me, his eyes poured worrisome gestures as he observed how shocked I was. I finally opened my mouth, trying to form proper sentences.

"W-what do y-you mean by that? H-how can I be someone e-else's daughter? What about m-mom and dad? They were the ones who gave birth to me, raised m-me?"

"True that they are your parents and they raised you, but your birth was previously decided. Whenever a devil is born, their birth date and everything is pre-decided. The Lucifer brought you to this living world to prevent something from happening. And that something was actually never supposed to happen. He had decided your transformation would start when you're nearing 18 years of age, when you are finally mature.

My eyes got a little teary after thinking about my parents and the lie that I was living for since 18 years. This living world, my family, friends all were different from me. My life, my everything was controlled by Lucifer. Each and every incident which occurred in my life was not because of my doing, it was already planned and I was just walking on that destined path like a clueless fellow. My mind was clouded with numerous thoughts and without knowing, a few tears rolled down my cheeks.

"This is why I was waiting for the right time to tell you this, Noona."

"No, it's alright! I w-want to know more." I insisted.

Jungkook looked at my pitiful state. He wasn't wrong at all. I forced him to tell me and now I'm facing the consequences or whatever you'd call them. But I know there's a lot more that I need to know. And I was ready.

He sighed heavily before placing his hands on his lap. He looked at me as if he was asking me rethink my wish but I reluctantly nodded, waiting for him to proceed. Let's just get this over with. 

"By the way, your parents don't have the slightest idea of this. They think you are their biological daughter so you have to act normally in front of them. Don't let them get suspicious of your behavior, okay?" He said and I hummed lightly.

"Noona do you remember when I visited your house the first time for our overnight? Did you observe and doub why I was so uncomfortable at that time?"

" Yeah, I did notice that but shrugged it off afterwards. But what was the exact reason for you to be like that?"

"It was because I was trying to make them feel that my presence was normal and not unusual. I didn't know what to do! I was afraid that my devil self would be recognized by them."

Slowly understanding his each word, my brain processed them and I nodded. Now this all was gradually making sense. I understood why he acted weirdly and went to the park all of a sudden. 

"Okay. Now why are you so angry with me meeting up with Taehyung? You are always mad when I talk about him! That time you dragged me out of the theatre. Oh Lord! It was such a mess" I asked him.

"Now you finally asked the most important question."

Not quite getting what he said, my brows crisscrossed and a confused expression formed on my face. 

Jungkook got up from his seat, and left the room leaving a confused me behind. Soon, he returned with something huge in his hands. It was a dusty painting, I supposed. Again, it was huge and I could see the wood crafted edges of it as he was holding it.

After removing layers of grime over it, he placed it against the bed's headboard such that it was properly visible to the both of us.

My eyes widened as I saw the whole thing with a terrified look as if what I was seeing was totally impossible. The painting was extremely familiar. I had definitely seen it a number of times in my nightmares. It was the same painting of the man, but I never really got to see his face clearly. Now that I did see it clearly, my mind went numb and started spinning like a merry-go-round. I glanced at Jungkook who had an expressionless face on.

"You very well know who this is, don't you Noona?" He asked me whilst raising an eyebrow.

I harshly gulped down the newly formed lump in my throat before answering,

"Taehyung..."
