7 SINS OF A LOVER

INNOCENCE

8 years old.

The church bells resonated in my ears. My eyes were closed and hands were joined together.

It was Sunday and I was a prayer meeting with my family and what we often call the extended family.

My name is Lee Y/n, the only child of Seo sheorim and Lee Ji young. My mother and father married out of love who were friends since high school. Along with my mom and dad, they were 2 more couple. All of these friends gradually became so so close that there children were raised together while all of us were neighbours.

My family is religious. We are catholic, I don't take religion much seriously but Oh the stories fascinate me. Every Sunday after church, uncle kim. My friend taehyung's father recites mythologies to us. That's probably why I patiently sit like that.

"Hey, ugly shit" Taehyung the same friend called me.

"What" I yelled at him in a low tone because we were in the church. I opened my eyes to look at him who was sitting on my right. Towards my left was Namjoon oppa, Sasha unnie and then seokjin oppa. All of them were praying.

"Let's run the moment the prayer finishes." He said and I smiled while nodding.

.

All of us settled when taehyung's father took the centre seat in the lounge at my place. The maids brought snacks and he started speaking.

"Today, I will tell everyone about the 7 deadly sins. There are 7 acts no one should ever commit. Right now you kids are pure, innocent free of any kind of impurity or harm for others.

The 7 deadly sins will be take your innocence from you.

The first is gluttony as in the obsession and desire for food to the point. It matters to you more than your loved ones.

The second is Envy as in jealousy and the desire to put someone down so that you can take something about them or from them which you admire.

The third is sloth as in not doing your tasks and fulfilling your purpose. Laziness and the desire to always rest.

The fourth is Lust as in the desire to fulfill bodily gratification but not emotional touch.

The fifth is wrath, it's the desire to vent out all the frustration or quick temper on some else. It is not being calm.

The sixth is Greed, it's the desire for everything. More and more and more.

Lastly, the seventh, it is Pride. The desire to be above everyone else. It is to be boastful and be narcissistic, to never accept anything that could make you vulnerable as they believe." He finished and we were all in daze.

"What if we over come the sins?" Taehyung asked.

"What else? You will get what you deserve. All men and women sin, but when they overcome their sin, they get love. Love of their family, friends and finally the love of their lover." Uncle finsihed and we were all so excited. I could hear our parents chuckle. We all must look funny to us.

"What is love?" I asked when Taehyung smacked me.

"Ouch"

"Pabo, you don't know love" when he said I smacked him back.

"Do you?" And he shut up.

Everyone chuckled when uncle spoke.

"Love is a sin when not done right and it's a virtue when done right. It's a blessing and a curse. It's everything that depends on the person to interpret. Love to love not for convenience" he said and we were all dazed.

We have to go from being innocent to being in love.

Sounds fun.

I looked at my left, taehyung sat there. Nope he wouldn't like me. He thinks I'm ugly. Then I looked at my right, Namjoon oppa breaks things. That leaves Seokjin oppa.

He wouldn't sin. He is nice.
