The Devil's Flowers || YoonSeok

Seokjin looked to his left, and then to his right.

Nothing.

Seokjin was cold, he was scared, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Hello?" Seokjin voiced out loudly, hoping someone or anyone could hear him.

"Hello!" A males voice screamed from behind him, making Seokjin turn completely around.

He had to squint his eyes in order to see a blonde haired boy running his way. Seokjin was more than happy to finally see someone, smiling his brightest.

"Do you know where we are?" Seokjin screamed out to the stranger as he got closer.

As soon as the boy reached Seokjin, he curled over, hands on his knees and completely out of breath.

"Are you okay?" Seokjin watched as the blonde haired boy lifted up his finger and took in a couple deep more breaths.

"H...ang on.. I'm... s...o ou....t of bre...ath." Seokjin just watched at the smaller male continued to catch his breath until he lifted up and gave Seokjin a square smile.

"I'm sorry, but running from that far can really knock the breath out of you." He wiped nonexistent sweat off his brow and continued to look at Seokjin.

"Uh, do you know where we are?" Seokjin furrowed his brows, he had never seen someone so calm when they were surrounded by darkness.

"Oh!" The boy lightly tapped himself in the forehead for forgetting and then stuck his hand out to Seokjin, "I'm Taehyung!"

Seokjin smiled and grabbed the boys hand, "I'm Seokjin."

"I know."

Seokjin stopped smiling and pulled his hand away, "how?"

"I'm God." Taehyung gave his widest square smile and immediately wrapped his arm around Seokjin's, pulling him forward.

"What do you mean you're God?" Seokjin stared at Taehyung with wide eyes as he was practically dragged along.

"Ah, I'm not very good at this job am I? Sorry, I had some technical difficulties and accidentally put you in this chamber room." Taehyung laughed to himself before looking at Seokjin, "but I can assure you, I am God."

Seokjin looked at the ground, "does this mean I'm dead?"

Taehyung immediately stopped and huffed heavily.

"Yes," he gave Seokjin sentimental eyes, he had seen so many people come to that realization and it hurt him to see everyone upset over it, "but it's okay, your time was meant to come Seokjin."

"What about Hoseok?"

Taehyung squeezed his arm around Seokjin's, he knew this question would come, "I'm afraid he has taken the wrong path."

Seokjin looked at Taehyung in disbelief, "what do you mean?"

Taehyung ran a hand through his hair and licked his lips nervously, "he's chosen the path of suicide, and will be sent to the underworld as soon as his heart stops beating."

Seokjin roughly pulled his arm away from Taehyung's, tears falling from his eyes at a fast rate.

"He was supposed to be strong enough!" Taehyung flinched at Seokjin's lashing out. He was used to this kind of reaction, but there wasn't anything he could do about it.

"Satan will deal with Hoseok, there's nothing you can do for him Seokjin."

Seokjin froze, "Satan?"

Taehyung nodded his head, "the lord of the underworld."

"Can you take me to him?"

Taehyung's mouth practically dropped to the floor before immediately shaking his head, "no, I don't like seeing or speaking with Satan."

Seokjin grabbed the other shoulders and pleaded, "please, he knows Hoseok personally!"

"What!"

Taehyung ripped his phone out of his pocket and harshly pushed the numbers until it started ringing.

"What do you want tree hugger?"

"Did you go to the middle world and expose yourself to a mortal!?" Taehyung practically screamed it into the phone.

"Who told you that?"

"His name is Seokjin!" Taehyung looked up at Seokjin, who was wide eyed at this point and not believing what he was seeing.

"God dam-"

"Don't you dare Yoongi! We're coming down there!" Taehyung hung up the phone and looked at Seokjin.

"So, I didn't think God would use a cell phone." Seokjin seemed beyond puzzled by everything, he felt like his while being was a lie.

"Yeah, well, we all have to make sacrifices somewhere. Let's go."
