Tomorrow's Moon|YEONBIN

Ch4|Back & Forth

"Have you met your neighbours yet?" Jungkook asked before throwing himself onto Soobin's new couch. He only sighed as he walked past his hyung, not even considering himself lazy anymore by taking one look at him, sprawled limbs everywhere.

"No. I haven't. Obviously." Soobin explained at the time of arrival, what he had to do to settle down then shortly search for Jungkook. The said male, seemed bored, his double chin set in place.

"Well, you've got a lot of spare time on your hands if you're not really meeting or seeing anyone here." Jungkook shrugged, talking about his own time when he first came to Limbo but that did spark a question in Soobin that he forgot to ask earlier.

"I forgot to ask...but what is Jimin?" Jungkook sat up, a clear evident smirk on his lips. Soobin could tell it was going to lead to more questions than answers or even more ridiculous games. "Just tell me."

Jungkook laughed, "Guess." Soobin groaned, he knew that was coming but he thought carefully, knowing if he asked too many questions, which Jungkook didn't like, he'd end up in bruises. Not that he cared. Or anyone would.

"He's not a demon. I would know him then, or you would've introduced him to ba and ma." That was a reasonable conclusion, "But...I don't know what else he could be. There's too many creatures and little clues from you." Soobin frowned before he hissed. Jungkook had gripped Soobin's forearm with intense heat from his hand, burning the area of skin to a bubbling form. A second degree burn. "WHAT THE FUCK?! GIVE SOME WARNING!"

Jungkook scowled with a glare, "Where's the fun in that? You'll prepare yourself and your skin won't even bubble." Soobin shot glares back, before turning to the sink. He turned on the tap for cold water before running it over his burn. He groaned at the sting to it before drying it down with a towel, then whispering a hex and his forearm returned to its original state.

Soobin sat down on the same couch as Jungkook, a moderate distance between the two brothers. Jungkook nodded, no apologetic actions in sight, stretching himself right before he slumped against the couch. The two demons faced each other and the older one grinned.

"He's a faerie."

Now that. Was not. What Soobin. Was expecting.

"A faerie?" He asked, not believing his ears that well, thinking Jungkook maybe cursed his sense of hearing too before gasping when he nodded with a lovey-dovey smile. "Really?"

"Really." He answered calmly but you could see many thoughts spiralling in his dumb head. After some moments of silence he continued, "He's literally one of the most beautiful beings I have ever laid my eyes on. Obviously because those faeries are so goddamn pretty." Soobin remained quiet, not really knowing much but he thought back to his first encounter with that brunette faerie from earlier. He didn't get a very good impression but he had to admit he was quite good looking.

"I've only ever seen one faerie, one being that wasn't from hell. It had an attitude but he was pretty." Soobin was completely honest with his experience from earlier and Jungkook only giggled.

"I wonder which faerie you bumped into but yeah, when you see a lot more other creatures, you gotta say there's something about faeries that reel you in for more. It's not just their pretty appearance or charming spells, it's just something. I'm not even sure of it myself but when you mingle around with them, you'll just know."

"I will?" Soobin wasn't really believing the nonsense Jungkook was saying. All his words were beginning to slur anyway. "I think it's time for you to sleep."

Jungkook turned to a different topic, "But the time difference here and hell is so different. Like y'know how we have 50 hours in a day?" Soobin nodded. "There's only like what–24?" But he smirked, "It'll take some time for you to adjust. You'll end up sleeping 8 hours of the day."

Soobin's eyebrows crashed into each other not believing the information he was receiving. "8 hours?! That's only leaving you with 16 hours! How can anyone do anything in a day with 16 hours?!"

"I know! But you get used to it and the day ends up becoming either really slow or really fast. Depends on how you spend your time. Some creatures sleep all day, 12 hours, 2 or not at all." Jungkook yawned, talking about sleep was getting to him.

"That's going to take too long." Soobin groaned before noticing that his hyung was about to fall asleep on the couch, "Nope! Get up! You are not about to sleep and drool all over my couch!" Soobin heaved Jungkook onto him, the older demon leaning on his taller dongsaeng but before he could rely on Soobin taking him to one of the spare rooms, Soobin threw him onto the staircase. Certainly bruising him on some parts. "Get yourself into one of the rooms upstairs. Bye bitch." Soobin nonchalantly walked away into his own room, ignoring all the curses and groans he was hearing from Jungkook.
