Truths Of A Lie

Lie

I looked at his grinning face.
"If you are me, then who are we?"

You must first answer that for yourself and then I will reveal the truth..

Truth? What truth?

The truth that you've always wanted..

I thought about what this man was saying and then it dawned on me..

Who am I?

He grinned wider and it was then that he came closer to me.

Do you really want to know the answer to that question?

I thought about it before nodding. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and covered my eyes. When he uncovered them, there they were once more. All six of them.

Now ask them..

I turned to them and asked,

"Who am I?"

"Jimin." Taehyung answered.

All of them..

I looked at Jin.

"Who am I?"

"Jiminie."

Then Jung Ho-seok.

"Chim Chim." He smiled

Jungkook

"Park Jimin."

And finally, I got to Min Yoongi. We stood quietly for a moment because I had expected him to do as the others had and say who I am when I looked at him, but he didn't.

"Who am I?"

"The devil.." Nam Joon answered.

My eyes widened. What had I done to cause him so much pain?

"Heto.." Min Yoongi said. His eyes became red and Ho-seok's became blue. I knew that Min's eyes were red with anger but why were Ho-seok's eyes blue?

You are me..

I then realised that since we were the devil, that we possessed their bodies in every moment that awakened the opportunity for evil.

When Jin betrayed Namjoon

When Namjoon went crazy

When Taehyung killed his abuser

When Jungkook fought Min Yoongi..

When Jung Ho-seok killed his mother

And the many times that Min Yoongi had done evil....

These were the things that I had witnessed first hand and I noticed that whenever I would see things through their eyes, evil would happen. Whether they did it or it was acted upon them.

I was transferred to a dark room. The other six spirits departed from me and I put my head down in shame.

The Mysterious Man placed his hand on my shoulder. It was then that I once again heard his voice.

Why are you ashamed? This is who you are. This is who WE are.

Why should I be proud of murder and chaos?

Because it your divine design.. It is what you were made to do. The world can't know good without evil.

It's too evil..

Only as evil as you make it..

I looked up at him with anger.

Who are we?

He stood up and grew in size. Pretty soon, he was towering over me and yet, I remained unafraid.

I am Heto..

And you?

I thought back to what the others had said about me and who I was.

I am Jimin.

Well then, Jimin, tell me about yourself. What do you know?

I couldn't think of a single thing that I could remember besides living in the white palace everyday. I didn't know what lay outside of in, nor any other place within it. But I was determined to show Heto how different we really were.

I live in a palace.

So do I.

A WHITE palace.

At least mine has color..

He shrugged.

I wear clothes-

As do I..

WHITE clothes! And I am brought food everyday!

And? I don't need to eat, and yet I am still served.

Just

Like

YOU.

I felt myself becoming more and more frustrated with him. I felt a tear fall down my cheek. I touched it..

Blood..

Heto grinned.

It's working..

What is?

You are becoming what is your true purpose.

And what is that?

Heto just grinned.

You'll see.

The anger building up inside of me became overpowering and pretty soon, Heto became smaller and smaller as I became bigger and bigger.

I will prove you wrong! I will NOT become you!

But you already have..

Welcome to the world,

Heto..
