Le point de vue de Hoseok

Hoseok's POV

I had been making people sin for a long time. My enemy, the Virtue of Patience was so apathetic to things. In the beginning, she mostly slept or didn't care about what I was doing. But the more I got to interact with her, the more I got interested in her.

"For the Virtue of Patience, you have no patience."

"Wow I didn't know," she said. Sarcastic and apathetic, she was always so detached. I was thankful because it made my work easier. In return, I maintained a good relationship between us.

Lately, I began to enjoy her company more than I should. It was always so comforting and calming to be with her. Especially after I went to the child I often found myself going to.

Today, too, I watched him. He was taking a detour back to his home from school, sniffling and clutching the straps of his backpack. Bruises peeked out from his uniform sleeves and I sighed. The bastards beat him up again.

The closer he got to his house, the slower he walked and the more his hands trembled. He really reminded me of my life. I wanted to interfere but I couldn't. That was not what we should do.

If I couldn't help him, why did I keep watching him now and then?

The child stood at the doorstep for a while and finally opened the door to walk in. As soon as he got inside the house, someone yelled and I clutched my chest.

"Hanse! Where the hell have you been, you ungrateful piece of shit?!"

"Hoseok! You bastard! Where have you been?!"

I shut my eyes when his father threw a chair at him. He let out a yelp and a thud followed. When I opened my eyes, Hanse was on the floor, holding his arm and hissing. The father stomped up to him and slapped him across the face for coming home late and wasting time outside.

My father punched me in the chest when I was home and did something to anger him. I would do nothing and he still used to get angry. Sometimes, it was because I did nothing that he would be mad at me.

Hanse stayed quiet and took the beating. If he opened his mouth, he knew he would receive even more blows. He couldn't get up and he waited until his father's rage subsided. There was no other way.

I couldn't watch anymore. I teleported to a rooftop and simply stared up at the sky. I was ashamed that I was unable to do anything. I wasn't supposed to do anything. I was supposed to make more of such things happen to fulfill my Deadly Sin.

Horrible. So horrible. I couldn't bring myself to watch the consequences of my Deadly Sin, let alone make more of that happen.

How did the others have no problem carrying out their duties?

The loud yells kept sounding in my ears and reverberating against my bones that I covered my ears and clenched my eyes shut. Even after so many years, I was still vulnerable to the outbursts of raging people. I couldn't feel emotions as strongly as before, but it was still... scary. If I was like this, how was that child feeling? The thoughts often lingered in my mind but I couldn't do anything. I was the Sin of Wrath.

Such a cruel fate I was living...

Just because I took my own life.

I wanted to search for Anhye to forget about this pathetic feeling, but refrained from doing so. I shouldn't be dependent on anyone emotionally. On my Sin's enemy at that. We were not that close and I never wanted to show myself as vulnerable to anyone. Who knew what she might do.

Emotions made you vulnerable. It was better to act. That was how I could escape conflict and someone's wrath.

"I hope you're not thinking about that girl," Gluttony said, suddenly appearing beside me.

"Girl? Who?"

"That peach kinda haired girl."

I snorted. "Like you think about the Virtue of Temperance?"

"When did I-" He widened his eyes but exhaled deeply to calm himself down. "Anyway, we're called to the meeting room. I'm here to take you there."

"About what?"

"Dunno. But the others should be there already."

I followed him and teleported to a room where Sloth, Pride and the other Virtues were seated. Patience looked at me before continuing her conversation with Diligence. It felt weird seeing her be close with a man like that. No, I was being irrational. I followed Gluttony to the table, unable to take my eyes off the two. God and Lucy appeared while I was taking my seat and got straight into the announcement.

"From now on, agreements between Sins and Virtues are forbidden."

Everyone froze. The silence was deafening.

Glances were exchanged and no one said anything.

I wouldn't be able to save my pathetic life now. It made me laugh under my breath.

"That is all."
