The Demon In Disguise | BTS V

▷just cursed

"The one who did that to you, that wasn't me", Taehyung claimed.

I looked at him in disbelief. "SMH",  I huffed, "Well then who? Yoongi?", I mocked, yet his eye gaze changed. The moment the name rolled off my tongue, I regretted my whole existence.

"Who's Yoongi?", he asked. His eyes turned darker again. He grabbed my hand, holding it so tight I could feel his upset fits.

"N- no one- he's j- just another c- coursemate- Please s- stop. You're hurting me-".

"You never mentioned his name before", he cleared his throat, retreating himself and looked away.

"I n- never thought it would be a concern", I replied timidly.

"I'm sorry. It's just that, I can't control it".

"Control what?".

"My demon", he sighed, shaking his head, "No, my other half".

"Your what? Sorry, I think I misheard that part?". Is he for real? In this 21st century? Demons. Ha. Think he can fool me.

"I'm not really came from the normal family", he stated, taking his place next to me on the bed, fingers crossed with his head hung low. "For generations, my family, particularly my dad's side, had this eternal job to do um", he trailed off. Taehyung cleared his throat a few times.

"To do what?", I asked in terror, praying hard that it won't be among those illegal bulls.hit because I ain't gonna be a criminal. Forced or not.

"Whatever it is related to keep the balance between our world and the Underworld. Dealing with ghosts, demons, goblins and such, making sure they don't play around humans too much or worse, possessing them for sports or harmful intentions. Exorcism, was one of them". I scowled, sudden goosebumps travelled along my veins, my mouth felt dry.

"I guess the whole thing backlashed then?", I spoke randomly. Taehyung gasped, the corner of his lips lifted, amused.

"Nice. You could say that. You know, sometimes too much of something is not good too".

"What do you mean?".

"Let's just say this whole family business thingy", he air-quoted, "had became so popular before, especially when my parents got married and they both continued on this legacy, more and more cases were settled. But then poof!", Taehyung snapped his finger in front of my eyes, making me flinched a little. "My mom gave birth to me".

"Wow, what a coincidence", I claimed.

"No, no, Somin. The best part has yet to come. I lived as a kid normally until I was 5. I started to have the special abilities".

"Wait, so you're telling me now that you're a superhero? Taehyung, come on", I whined, "I'm tired so please, stop making up these things and let me sleep".

"I could read someone's mind. Including the unseen creatures", he admitted. I gulped. You've got to be f.ucking kidding me.

"No, baby, I'm not kidding", he chuckled, "In fact, I could still recall how many times you were checking me out today, each letter of each word, one by one". I immediately blushed, eyes widened, embarrassed to death. But just to make sure...

Please say that this is all just a lie, that you're just making things up just for your own entertainment.

"God, Somin, if I would, then I would. But I'm not lying at all, my dear. I have you now for my entertainment, why would I need to make up some more?", Taehyung flashed his square-ish smile while wiggling his eyebrows.
