Jimin's POV
"Kim Seokjin, King of Gluttony"
"Min Yoongi, King of Sloth"
"Jung Hoseok, King of Envy"
"Kim Namjoon, King of Greed"
One by one, all of my hyungs introduced themselves to the timid little girl in front of me. "Lee nabi..." She said her name and bowed. I put my arm around her shoulder and rubbed it to ease her tensions.
"These are our best friends, and they have their own kingdoms. You'll treat them the same way you treat us" Taehyung announced. Nabi nodded immediately "I will"
"How obedient" Hoseok Hyung chuckled as he ruffled her hair. Nabi jerked away without a second thought, only to regret it later. "I-I'm sorry, i didn't mean to d-" she panicked.
"Hey hey, calm down" I told her, crouching to match her eye level. Her eyes were brimming with tears and her lips were slowly turning down into a pout. Her grip on my shoulders only tightened. I excused myself for a moment before taking her into the kitchen. I made her sit on the counter and wiped her tears.
"What happened?" I asked her, gently cradling her face in my hands. "I really hate it here, Jimin... please, take me back to Japan. I—I don't want to deal with four more demons... they seem to be just like Taehyung!" She sobs.
"You do realise that whining everyday about us isn't going to take you back to Japan, right?" I asked with a sigh. I knew she hated us, I knew she wanted to go back home. But only we knew how bad of a decision that would be.
She isn't safe anywhere, not in Japan, not in Korea, not in heaven, or hell. She's safe when she's with us, and no one else. The main threat can reach us everywhere.
"Byeol, look at me. Staying with us, is the okay way you'll live. Everywhere else is pure danger. Outside this mansion? Danger. The convenience store? Danger. Your school? The most dangerous place. Do you know why? Because we're not there with you" I know she probably thinks of me as some egotistical bastard that thinks so highly of himself, but that's not true.
As kings, we have certain powers that scare everyone. That is the type of power we want nabi to have, but she never will. She can do things on her own, we don't want to take away her independence. But for now, we need her to put her trust in us and stay with us.
"Tell me, what's bothering you? I know it's not just Taehyung" I said, putting my head on her shoulder as I rubbed her back, encouraging her to spill. She shook her head "I don't want to"
I nodded "Okay, I won't force you" the fact that she trusted me enough to tell me that she didn't want to reveal her thoughts instead of blatantly lying about their existence was enough for me.
"You're a strong, courageous little girl. Even if you feel intimidated by Taehyung, you still have me and Jungkook. We love you so much, so fucking much. You can always run to us if you need anything. I won't force you to sit next to anyone you don't want to. You can sit with me, okay? Now why don't we go back?" I suggested, flashing a gentle smile.
"Fine, but you're staying with me"
Jungkook POV
To say I was burning in jealousy would be an understatement. But at the same time, Jimin is a lot better with comforting kids than I am. Still hurts seeing her trust him more than me.
When they came back from the kitchen, nabi looks a bit more put-together. She held my hand tightly and gently tugged on it. I crouched down to hear height, my ear near her mouth. She whispers "You better keep your promises"
