His pocket fairy

Five

His POV

When I gaze at my ringing phone to find Jin's name on the screen, I huff before accepting the call.

Of course he would want to know how it went after hearing that we made it back here from the driver, this impatient fairy...

'So? Did she see it? Did she like it? Did I do well? Am I not the bestest of all fairies?' the fairy asks right away, and I sigh as I bring my gaze up to the second floor from where I am, her door right in my line of sight behind the see-through railing.

"She has yet to get out of her bedroom so I don't know. I left the room as I didn't want my presence to keep her from expressing herself as needed, but she looked very touched by the efforts you put in for everything else, she said it's perfect" I answer him, hear his relieved exhale from the other side of the line.

'Thank goodness. We went to the best fairy carpenter for the surprise, Namjoon and I worked on the plans together until we figured it was perfect and it took all night to build, we came to install it early in the morning. We were pretty proud by the final result so we're confident that she'll love it'.

I hum, they really put their all into this, didn't they? "I'm sure she will. Thank you, Jin. It means a lot that you went that far for her".

The fairy coos and I purse my lips tightly, heart already building up defenses to better tolerate the nonsense about to leave his daring mouth.

'The ice king, the cold and expressionless tyrant, the dangerous, poisonous and heartless don, currently thanking his handsome, wonderful and delightful fairy friend for making his sweet mate feel at home is truly something I would have never thought would happen one day. Are you going to kiss my cheeks next? Will I finally get a hug after all these years? Has your ice melted that much already?'.

"Say anymore than that and I will change my mind about your reward" I grumble under my breath, and Jin laughs in response before humming softly, pleased with himself, these threats never doing enough to scare him.

'Okay, okay, I'll stop. But really, Taehyung, it was a pleasure. She deserves to be made to feel at home with the past that she has, just like you did for me' he says with a smaller voice, and that reminder has a fire reigniting in the depths of my personal hell, one that constantly simmers deep within my soul, ready to swallow up every last bits of my artificial light to use as fuel when needed.

"About that. We'll be paying the Auction a little visit soon, Jin, and I don't intend to make it a pleasant one for them" I utter darkly, words that have the fairy frowning on the other side of the line, his body tensing from his cuddling session with Namjoon.

'What? The Auction? As in... with a capital A? THE Auction? Why?'.

I need to close my eyes for a moment, just to avoid grabbing the lamp next to me to throw against the wall, I don't feel like cleaning that up and I don't want my precious fairy to be scared when this is supposed to be her new safe space, a space where she shouldn't ever have to be nervous.

"Because they didn't randomly find her somewhere to sell at an auction house like they do for most fairies, like they did for you. She didn't flee from a random facility ran by lower organizations that have partnerships with the Auction. She was already in their hands, Jin. From her birth until the day of her auction. She was about to be sold to a fucking diamond brothel when she made a run for it".

Jin might remain silent at the revelation, but I know that his heart is currently breaking into thousands of pieces at the moment, pieces that will very much act like bombs when the fairy is done tempering with them, and I also get to hear one of Namjoon's rare curses, which lets me know that he could hear everything from the beginning.
