Our cute, little demon

22

The more she learned about Jimin, the more her heart hurt. She missed him, missed them both so fucking much. It took nearly a month before she found something that was useful. It was in a trunk shoved in a closet and looked like it hadn't been opened in hundreds of years. It's like someone placed it there and completely forgot it ever existed.

It looked like the pages of a diary, but it was old—so old that it looked like it was around the time that Jimin was cursed. So she shoved the diary in her bag and grabbed Kook before heading home. She'd have to bathe the toddler. His Uncle Joon had fed him something sticky that covered most of his hands and face.

"Addy," Kook whispered as she rinsed his hair clean from the soap. "Is Addy okay?"

"I'm okay, Kookie; Addy is just tired, that's all. Once you are clean, do you want to nap with me?" The toddler nodded his head quickly as he yawned so very cutely. She loved this little boy; he was the only thing keeping her sane. Kook stopped her from spiraling down because of how much she missed them.

They lay down, and as soon as the toddler fell asleep, the tears started to fall. She was biting her lip so hard to try and keep the sobs in, exhaustion took over her body and, finally, she fell asleep.

"Kook," Jin whispered softly as he tried to wake his son. "Come on, Baby, we need to go home."

The toddler sat up slowly as his tiny fists rubbed at his eyes. "Addy sad."

"I know, Baby, but Kookie makes Addy feel better. Let's go home and cook, then we can bring it back for Addy and ensure she and her baby eat; how does that sound?" Jungkook nodded his head quickly as he held his little arms up for his Dad to pick him up. Jin chuckled, not wanting to disturb Addy's rest. She barely gets any and needs all she can get before the baby arrives.

Her hand ran down to her stomach. She was somehow smaller and larger than she thought she'd be. She was on the smaller side in stature, so she didn't think she'd have a massive belly anyway, but she felt like she was bigger than she should be for this stage of pregnancy.

Life at the witch's village was always the same. She got up in the morning and ate with Jin and Kook; then, she took Kook to Joon's place to rifle through the books while Kook kept Joon occupied. Then they'd head home, eat, clean up, and nap until Jin came and got Kook for dinner. The three of them would usually eat together, and most of the time, Joon would join as well since he was a disaster of a human.

"I want to check on the baby when we are done with dinner. Since you still haven't felt it move, I want to make sure that we can at least hear the heartbeat."

Jin knew why she hadn't felt the babies; it was because there were two in there. He hasn't told her yet, she's not taking the pregnancy well and if she found out that she was having two babies. He shook his head and didn't want to think about it. He knew she was lying about how the pregnancy happened. That was easy enough to deduce by the way she talked about the father. She was clearly in love with her father, but he didn't understand why she wasn't with him.

He ran the device over her stomach until he could hear their heartbeats, one strong one and two softer ones. Okay, they were strong; that's good. He blew out a breath. He wouldn't be able to lie about it much longer. Surely, she'd start to notice that she had two babies in there.

"Tae," Jimin whispered as he lay down beside him. "Want to go to the waterfall and get cleaned up? The cool water might help your fever a bit."

Tae didn't say anything; he was practically lifeless and has been ever since Addy left. Jimin was worried about the human. He didn't think it was possible to die from a broken heart, but if it was possible, then it was happening to Tae right in front of his eyes, and he was helpless to stop it. Tae didn't even move, so Jimin picked him up and carried him through the caves until they reached the waterfall. 

The human sighed happily as he nuzzled into Jimin's chest. "Addy," he whispered, and a tear started to fall. "I miss her so much; it hurts Jimin."

"I know it does, Baby, and I'm sorry I can't fix it."

Addy was up to her neck in old documents; she had learned much about the witch who cursed Jimin. She was in love with Jimin and fell in love with him at first sight, but Jimin didn't want anything to do with her. She was spiteful and used to getting her way, so Kearsta decided that if she couldn't have him, no one could. She made the curse and ensured that it would be nearly impossible for him to find his soulmate.

She kept tabs on him, ensuring that he was still in the cave and suffering. It pleased her greatly that he tried numerous times to kill himself but was unsuccessful at it. It wasn't until she married that she realized how unfair she had been. Her husband was a good man, and while she had maintained the lie that Jimin killed her lover in a jealous fit, the guilt began to eat at her.

Her last entry was her confession to everything she had done and how to fix it. Jimin could be free from the curse that involves her. She didn't know how to help with the one that concerned Tae since that was a whole different curse. But she could at least lift this one from him. Then they wouldn't be burdened with her; they could be happy together. She saw them and how they were around each other. 

They were so happy, and they could still be happy; they just needed to forget her. So the plan was made: make this potion to rid him of the curse and, at the same time, a memory potion. She didn't have long; there were only a handful of weeks before she gave birth, and she'd have to finish this before the baby came.

Her hand went down to her round tummy. She felt a soft kick on her palm, but it also felt like she was being kicked in her ribs as well. She shook her head, the baby couldn't be doing the splits so maybe she was being kicked and punched. "I promise to tell you everything about your Dads; even though only one is your actual Dad, they both would have loved you so much."

Tomorrow, she'd start the plan to free them from her. She'll spend the rest of her life raising their child and thinking of them. It was the best she could do for them; this world wasn't ready for two men to be together, let alone two men and a woman. One day, it'll be okay. They wouldn't have anything holding them back if they couldn't remember her.

She got a decent amount of sleep for the first time in forever.
