5 - Leaving Hell

"Are you ready, Byeol?" Jimin asked me, knocking on the door. "Don't come in!" I yelled as I finally pushed my leggings back up. Today was the day I'm finally being taken back to earth.

I'm having mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I'm happy to go back to realm that have my species everywhere, humans. While on the other hand, I'm a bit anxious about staying in a completely different country with three men I met last week.

Korea is my home country, but I've spent less than three years there. Japan was my real home. All my friends and family were there. Or so I believed. I have never met any family members like my parents' siblings or their kids.

But mom always tells me that they live in Japan, just not in the city like we do. I always ask them if I can go meet them, because they apparently have kids my age. But they always deny, saying that they are village folks and don't appreciate city-citizens than much.

Jimin and Jungkook warned me today, saying that travelling back to earth is a different type of journey, and therefore, it won't be as easy as it was to get to hell. I took their words with a grain of salt. All I had to do was walk through the portal, right?

Whatever it was, my brother's suggested that I don't wear anything too revealing or too covering. The temperature is unpredictable and it can get extreme for humans. I decided to go for a cream-coloured top with sleeves that ended at my elbows, and black leggings.

Once I was ready, I exited the room and made my way to the living room. There I saw three majestic demons, standing there. All my brothers had transformed. They were handsome, but terrifying at the same time. Their black, feathery wings caught my attention.

They seemed to have small sparks of fire on their ends, and I was too scared to take a step closer. "Wow..." my voice caught their attention.

Jimin chuckled when he saw me looking at them in awe. "C'mere" He opens his arms for me. I hesitated, what if the flames touched me? But I went to hug him nonetheless. "You look beautiful" He told me, kissing my forehead.

"You look beautiful too" I giggled. "And what about me, butterfly?" Jungkook asks all of a sudden, flaunting his wings and then his physique. "You look good... but not as much as Jimin" I said mischievously.

He scoffed "You know what? Just for that, you're going to be stuck with Taehyung for today" He said and pushed me into Taehyung. I crashed into his body but I managed to balance myself and keep a distance.

I looked at the King of pride in horror and disbelief. Wasn't he the guy who promised to protect me from him a few days ago?

I avoided eye contact with Taehyung. But even so, I could feel him smirking at me.

Since the day I entered this palace, I was never allowed to go out. I spent the past seven days in it or the backyard. Never past that. Today, they finally took me out to get to the portal.

I don't remember coming in through this area, but maybe it's a different portal? Jungkook stuck to his claims, and I was forced to hold hands with Taehyung. They insisted that I held one of their hands since it's really easy for a human like me to get lost and become a meal to the werewolves that lurk this forest.

"Stop touching them, Byeol" Taehyung's stern voice brought me back to attention as I retreated my hand back from touching the blue leaves.

"Sorry" I mumbled a small apology and continued walking with them. We finally reached a portal. It was a bright purple colour and I was ready to just jump in. But before I could, Jungkook stopped me. "This isn't the same portal you used last week. This can be harsh. Don't do anything stupid"
