"Please don't leave me! I can't live without you. I promise to laugh at every corny joke. I promise to cook dinner every night. I promise to always put the dishes into the dishwasher instead of leave them in the sink. I promise to listen to your stories about your crazy co-workers. Just stay with me. Please," Hoseok cries, holding her in his arms as she takes ragged breaths.

"I love you," she whispers, slowly letting her eyes close.

"No!" Hoseok yells, tears falling onto her pale, lifeless face.

"And cut! Good job, you two!" the director yells.

Jennie runs up to him with a tissue. "Here."

"Thank you," he smiles brightly as he wipes the tears away.

"That was really great," she smiles kindly.

"Thank you again. Now go relax. I'm gonna go unwind in my dressing room for a bit."

"Yes sir," she bows politely before heading off.

Hoseok makes his way to his dressing room and takes a shower to wash away the makeup and fake blood from the scene.

The hot water cascades onto him and his tense muscles slowly relax, letting the stress wash away down the drain. The thoughts have been getting worse lately. Seemingly every single human he comes into contact with has something that he wishes he had. It's becoming overwhelming.

After scrubbing himself clean, Hoseok gets out and puts on his boxers and then slips into a simple outfit of a white t-shirt and jeans.

When he walks out of the bathroom, he sees Lucy sitting on the couch, smiling up at him.

"Nice hair," he grins brightly at her as she beams back at him.

"Nice acting skills," she grins.

He laughs. "You saw?"

"You're very talented, Hoseok," she says.

"What brings you here?" he asks, sitting next to her and looking at her.

She looks really beautiful.

"I'm bored," she huffs, crossing her arms over her chest. "I've been to visit Taehyung, Jimin, Jin and Namjoon but they were all too busy or angry to play with me."

Hoseok laughs. "You'll get used to them. And we're all busy because we all have careers to attend to. We have to make money to continue to be successful in the human world."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boooring," she sighs, throwing her hands in the air. "Earth is boring."

"Can't you go back to Hell then?"

"I'll go back when you all do," she grins mischievously.

"And when will that be?" he asks.

She shrugs. "Oh, I've got it! We can have sex. That'll make this day less boring."

He immediately blushes and his mouth pops open. "I uh... w-what?"

She laughs before leaning over and taking his face into her hands. "I'm kidding. I'm sorry, I just wanted to see your cute face get flustered."

"That wasn't funny," he says.

She laughs again. "You boys are so much fun to play with."

"Lucy, we aren't toys," he says quietly.

"I'm sorry, Hoseok. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," she says before leaning forward and placing a gentle kiss on his forehead.

He feels a blush creeping across his cheeks again and he moves her hands away from his face. "Stop being so nice to me. You're just doing it so I'll be the Prince of Envy or whatever."

"Or maybe I care about all of you," she says as he avoids her gaze.

"You're jealous of your brothers," she says to him suddenly.

He looks at her. "Of course I am. I'm Envy. I thought you came here to play, not to piss me off."

"Uh oh. I've hit a nerve," she smiles wickedly. "Let it out. I'm a good listener."

"Can you stop please? I'm not going to talk about my problems to someone I hardly know," he snaps.

"You may not know me, but I know you," she says, reaching out to hold his hand but he pulls away.

"Just go," he says.

"Nope," she says.

"Lucy."

"Hoseok."

"Leave."

"Hmm.... nah."

"Damn it, stop playing around with me! I'm not some toy that you can play with and use when you're bored. Okay? I have my own shit to deal with and I'm not going to let you walk all over me for your entertainment."

She silently leans forward and grabs his face with her hands again, only this time, she presses her lips to his.

He tries to pull back, but the emotion washing over him immediately makes him stop. She's taking away his pain. Like she did for Jimin.

After a moment, she pulls away and stares into his eyes with a calm look in her own. "I'm sorry. I forget how my actions affect others sometimes."

She stands up and walks to the door of his dressing room before turning to look over her shoulder.

"I know it's in your nature to feel Envious, but you have no reason to. That smile of yours is like sunshine. It brightens the whole room and it's one of the greatest things in this world."

Hoseok opens his mouth to reply, but she leaves the room before he can utter a word.
