"Son of a bitch... what the hell? Why am I dead but standing here like it's nothing?" I grumbled to myself as I looked at my corpse, not realizing what was going on.

"Oh... what a shame. But look on the bright side, now you'll stay young and sexy forever."

A young man had stepped up next to me and smiled at me kindly. As he was dressed all in black, I thought he was the Grim Reaper and was coming to get me, so I eyed him suspiciously. If this really was Death, then he was pretty damn cute.

"Who are you?" I finally asked.

"Youngjo, but you can call me Ravn if you like. He killed me too... I really shouldn't have sung." he introduced himself with a smile.

"I'm Jongin, but you can call me Kai. But why aren't we transparent? Aren't we ghosts? I'm a bit overwhelmed right now..." I admitted.

"Yes, we are, but here in the house we have a body at night." he explained and I nodded understandingly. Then I drew in a sharp breath

"Jackson... he... is he dead too? Is that why he never came back?" I asked in dismay and Ravn nodded in confirmation.

"Oh he did come back again, only you couldn't see him outside these walls. Sometimes he goes away for a while to admire someone called Sehun in the shower." he said with a grin and I grimaced in disgust.

"Bahhh, Sehun is my brother, I don't want to know that." I fought him off directly and he laughed softly.

"Maybe we should get rid of your body before it traumatizes someone else." he suggested and I grinned wryly.

"You mean who else but me? Good idea though, I don't want my brothers to know I'm dead."

Jimin

When Taehyung had pulled Wooyoung out, I had followed them and watched the whole thing. I didn't quite understand what was going on, but I knew it was something big. It had something to do with San, Yeosang and Jin and my friends weren't who they seemed to be, even though I'd known them all my life. How did that fit together? Was I also... like them?

"Are any more of us like you?" I asked the two of them because of this and they turned to me in surprise.

"Not exactly like us, but we're almost all demons," Wooyoung confirmed

"And you can wake them up? Make them their true selves?" I asked further and they both nodded.

"That's exactly what we'll do, we'll wake them up one by one. We need as much power as possible against Asmodaeus." Taehyung explained and I took a step towards them.

"Good, then start with me." I looked at them determinedly.

"Jimin... we can only awaken demons." Taehyung said sadly.

My heart sank to my knees and disappointment spread through me.

"I'm not a demon?" it was more of a statement than a question.

"Then I'm not actually one of you?" I felt really miserable when I asked that.

"Of course you are and you're also very important in our fight. Don't take this the wrong way Jiminie." Taehyung smiled warmly at me before Wooyoung continued.

"We just can't awaken angels unfortunately..."
