His gaze...
In the impenetrable croud of people, his gaze burned her. He titled his head to a side, his lips holding a smirk.
And then he was gone in a blink of eye.
"Chérie"
Startled, she looked at him standing by her side. He swiped his tong...

Faina’s ankle twists and she falls on the floor as soon as she and Jimin escape from hell to a place he teleported them. She collects herself up and looks around to realise that they are in her room. “Why did you run away? I thought we were supposed to fight him or lock him up in the damn cage.” Jimin sits on the bed, rubbing at his temples. “And I am related to Miso? Your dead girlfriend? What the hell?” she bites her lip down, mind all over the place. “Where is Taehyung and Kasdeya?” She showers him with questions.
“Are you interested in carrying the baby of satan?” Jimin asks, looking up at her. She scrunches her face in disgust and shakes her head. “Then you know what he will do to make you say yes?” Jimin looks at her before speaking, “He will torture the people you love and I happen to be in closet proximity so we had to leave.” Faina tsks.
“Tch, and I was here thinking you were being a hero to save me. Guess not,” she sits beside him. Jimin looks at her, angry. She never saw him angry, at least this angry. “I agree that I am not the best one out there but I am considerate. Getting you out of there was my first priority. You have no idea what he is capable of,” he turns his face away. Faina bites her inner cheek and looks down. “Taehyung and Kasdeya are fine right?” she asks, he nods. “They will join us soon.”
The room fills with the rustling of the leaves from the outside and Faina’s breath as they don’t speak. She breaks it. “I can’t believe my family has been serving as whores to you for centuries,” she chuckles, not a cheerful one. “She is not a whore,” Jimin says, sternly. “I loved her. I still do. Neither are you,” the glow in his eyes fades away as he remembers her.
“If you love her so much then why didn’t you bring her to you? I mean, I know that all the people who make a deal with demons go to hell so you must know where she is right?” Faina asks. Something like a drop of tear appears in Jimin’s eyes but he blinks it away. “She is not in hell.” Faina frowns her brows in confusion and asks, “Is she in heaven?” Jimin shakes his head.
“Dude where the hell is she? Was she reborn or something?”
“There is a place that is neither hell nor heaven. It is called ‘empty’ and anything that goes into empty never comes back. Ever,” Jimin looks at Faina, his eyes carrying the centuries of pain in them. “But why? I mean how?” Jimin takes a deep breath. “Miso died a very painful death when the villagers burned her mistaking her for a witch when I only had a witch cast a concealing spell on her to protect her from Lucifer. There is a choice when one dies and the reaper finally arrives. One can choose to go to the empty if they don’t wish to continue their life anymore. Their soul will be carried away and locked there forever to slowly dissolve into nothing until it is finally gone. Miso was so broken by the pain and humiliation that happened to her that she didn’t choose to come back to another life or to me.”
“That is sad. Guess I should take tips from my fossil grandma or aunt or whatever she is and follow to the empty. I am bound to be doomed anyway,” Faina shrugs. “Are you serious?” Jimin is surprised by her decision.
“Jimin, I made this deal with you to escape from my miserable life and I am not happy. Not even a day. All I can feel is pain and hopelessness. Besides, is the deal going to make me live for like ten years? I can’t do this Jimin. I can’t be born again and be fucked by the satan or something. It’s for the best,” she plays with her fingers.
"You are being harsh on yourself. Give yourself some time," Jimin rubs his thumb on her cheek. "No Jimin. There is nothing to give time to. I am done. You are going to kill me after ten years anyway. So nothing much left to look forward to," she shakes her head.
"Faina-," Jimin gets cut off by a flapping of the wings and Taehyung appears before them.
"You said, escape but didn't mention where," he says, looking at Jimin. "But you are here anyway," Jimin stands up and pats him on the shoulder. "You really didn't know Faina is the descendant? Or at least related?" Taehyung asks.
Jimin rolls his eyes, "You really think I would make a deal with her if I knew? Of course I didn't know. You think I will go around looking at the family trees of every person I make a deal with?"
"What do we do now?" Faina asks. "Is he going to attack my family now?"
"No one knows how Lucifer thinks. We just have to be on the edge while looking for a solution to lock him up," Taehyung says. "How was he locked up in the first place? If we know that then we can just follow the same steps," Faina suggests.
"When he was locked up for the first time, God himself had worked on it. There is definitely an alternative for it. We just have to find it," Taehyung says, a sense of urgency in his tone. "Nothing from the heaven library?" Jimin asks. "I didn't have time to check. I will rummage through the library and find out," Taehyung nods.
"There is someone else we have to be wary of, your majesty," Kasdeya appears in the room. Jimin sighs in relief as soon as he sees her but alerts himself. "Who is that?" Jimin asks.
"The archangel Michael. He is going to wage a war on his brother Lucifer. But before that, he wants to kill Faina," Kasdeya informs all the things she has collected before coming there.
"Has the whole archangel community lost the final brain cell and are roaming like lunatics? We have not one but two archangels now?" Jimin throws his hands in the air.
"What the holy-," Taehyung's voice breaks off looking outside at the sky. The evening orange sky is filled with what seemed like falling stars all over it. Taehyung's eyes widen as he walks out to the balcony. He stands there frozen as he watches thousands of falling stars like a view in the sky.
"What the hell," Faina mutters and looks at Jimin expecting an answer. Jimin looks as equally shocked as Taehyung. "Those are angels falling from grace," Jimin says.
"Angels are dying."
Which BTS member do you think is Michael? Drop the guesses.
