Diabolus [악마] - °KTH°

034

"W-what?" my voice almost came as A whisper as my eyes were flooded with salty water.

I could feel my whole worlds and life existence crashing in front of my eyes. I felt caged and clogged. My whole figure started trembling and shaking vigorously as for the second time I came down, lumping in the shallow water.

I could see visions flowing in front of my eyes and my body ached awfully. The ink in my flesh started acting up, and I felt the skin there ripping apart painfully. I took a glimpse of my hand, only to see the change in color of tattoo. It was all blood-red now. It was firing up, like someone is piercing knife in it. 

The moonlight fell perfectly on our figures that very moment, and I couldn't help but to let out a painful scream of agony. My body reacted violently to the surrounding change and my head started banging with immense pain along with it. 

How did I not realize this? I must have been so foolish and dull-witted to not recognize my own blood-brother? I can never forgive myself for this. 

Jungkook is my brother.

That sentence kept screaming in my head. Now I really feel like a sinner. What I have done, knowingly or unknowingly doesn't matter. I have done something which is unforgivable. All these years we've spent, he could be cluing me on this, but what I did? Nothing?

I looked up at Jungkook whose face was crimson red from all weeping and mental pressure he has been carrying from who knows when. I can't let him be weak when I know all the truths behind all stories, at-least I hope I know everything.

Now that I know that he's is my brother, I can't let him be unhappy and full of sorrows. I have to do something regarding this. I will have to get him out of this mess. I'll do anything to protect him at all costs now. 

I got up from the waters and cupped his face , giving it a gentle squeeze. His nose was all wet, red and cold due to crying and weather. My heart pained to see him like this. 

I wiped his face with my hand while he kept on sniffing time to time. His eyes held so much despair and unhappiness in them. He kept on looking in my eyes while I ruffled his messy hair and gave him a mournful smile.

I wrapped my arms around his shivering body as the chilled sensation made both of us jolt up. He still kept silently sobbing in my embrace. Drawing circles on his back I tried to make him feel at easy,

" Nothing will happen to you, you haven't lost to anyone. You are fine here, no one will harm you as far as I'm here. You just have to let the bad time pass and again in no time you'll see us going to the school with joyful expression on our face, like nothing happened. I'll make you free of these traumatizing miseries you are facing right now-"

" T-that's not p-possible, Noona! " He cuts me of again as he backed away from the hug and locked his eyes with mine.

I gave him a questioning look, which he understood quickly and further tried explaining to me,

" I have to go from here now. Otherwise the things will be difficult for me when I return to the underworld. It's a harsh truth but there's nothing we can do. It's not like I'm mad at you. I don't blame you for loving Taehyung at all. It was bound to happen. But this was the last chance for me to to explain myself to you, from now on I won't be able to see you and-"

" What do you mean by last chance? You are my family. I won't let to go from me when I just got to know about this!" I yelled this time, my voice shriller than ever. 

I looked at him again, it was as if he was trying to a fake reason to get distanced from me. I knew he was going to lie again but I wouldn't let it slide easily this time,
