COLD

14: R

Jimin kicked Yoongi in the knee, making him lose his balance and fall on his ass.

"What the fuck, Jimin?"

"You messed with my life before, and now you want to mess with it again? I won't let you ruin me again."

Jimin was about to pounce onto Yoongi but Taehyung quickly hugged him from behind, holding him back.

"Jimin-ah! Control yourself, it's the demon influencing you."

"No, this is all me." Jimin shook off Taehyung and advanced, but Hoseok was quicker.

He pressed two fingers on Jimin's forehead.

"Sleep."

Jimin dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes, unconscious.

Jungkook groaned. The angel had ruined his plan.

"You angels, always in the way."

He tried to push Seokjin off again, but he didn't budge.

"And this pretty boy, on my fucking back. You're heavy, you know? You're gonna break your friend's back if you continue."

"I'm not heavy, you- Did you just call me pretty?"

"Of course, you're surprisingly attractive for a man your age."

Seokjin couldn't help but smile.

"I'm worldwide handsome, what do you expect?"

He fanned himself proudly, his chin raised high. Jungkook unexpectedly pushed up against Seokjin while he was distracted. He fell backwards, surprised.

Free, Jungkook moved quick. He pulled Yoongi into his embrace and wrapped an arm around his neck, choking him.

"Poor Jimin, letting this selfish bastard take everything from you." Jungkook cupped Yoongi's face with one hand and jerked his face forward, forcing him to look at Jimin, who was on the floor. "I just need your meatsuit and I'm gone, why can't you just understand?." His voice changed into a static, twisted tone, distorted into two different pitches.

Seokjin scrambled up to his feet, brushing dust off his ass. He tapped Hoseok in the shoulder.

"Why aren't you doing anything?"

"I can't, I drained myself sending Asmodeus back to Hell, I don't have the energy to do it again."

Yoongi didn't struggle in Jungkook's arms, he deserved it. He deserved it all. It was his greed for sex and booze that ultimately led to this moment.

"Mammon, let him go. Tell me what are your intentions on Earth." Hoseok said calmly.

"I just need a new vessel, this one is dying."

Namjoon rubbed Yoongi's hair into the blood and he drew a swirling pattern on his arm. Chanting in Latin, he felt the blood warm up as he slowly vanished into thin air.

Namjoon landed hard on his ass with a loud thud.

"Hyung? How did you..." Yoongi placed down a bunch of cards and rolled up Namjoon's sleeve, exposing the blood pattern on his arm. "Oh."

Namjoon lifted​ up his ass and noticed a bunch of uno cards under him.

Looking around, he saw Seokjin, Yoongi, Jungkook, Taehyung and someone he didnt recognise sitting in a circle, with uno cards in their hands.

"Are you serious, Kim Namjoon? I was on my last card!" Seokjin threw his card on the ground in a huff.

Namjoon eyed Jungkook, who was keeping his cards aside.

"He's not Jungkook," Namjoon pointed at him, backing away.

"We know he's Mammon. We're trying to help him." Hoseok placed a hand on his shoulder assuringly.

"And who are you?"

"I'm Jung Hoseok, a Seraph. Just call me Hoseok." His smile was bright and friendly.

"I'm terribly sorry for what I did earlier, I need a vessel desperately before I destroyed that female's soul." Mammon, in Jungkook, lowered his head, regretful. "I'm not as evil as my brothers and sisters."

Namjoon stared at him in disbelief. A moment ago, he was threatening his life and now he was apologizing? Weird. Glancing behind him, Jimin was lying on the couch, unconscious.

"What happened to him?" Namjoon slid past Jungkook and sat next to Jimin, who was softly snoring away.

"He was pissed that Yoongi tried to fuck Jungkook." Seokjin stacked the uno cards neatly and placed them aside. "Now that you're here, let's wake him up."

Hoseok nodded and snapped his fingers. Jimin immediately shot awake, his arms grabbing Namjoon.

"Why did you- oh hey Namjoon. Where's Min Yoongi? I'll choke that fucker."

Hoseok stood in front of Yoongi, blocking him.

"There are more important things to do than killing Yoongi. We need to find a vessel that will support Mammon without killing off anyone."

Jungkook scratched his head.

"The boy's pretty strong, but not strong enough to contain me. He's dying, but I'm healing him as we speak." He lifted up his shirt, revealing a slightly sealed up wound stained with dried blood next to his bellybutton. "We'll wait until his body's fully healed."

Jimin touched it, causing Jungkook to jerk slightly.

"Please heal him," Jimin pleaded softly so that only he would hear.

As Jimin was talking to Jungkook, Namjoon pulled Yoongi aside.

"Here, your locket," Namjoon took it out from his pocket and passed it to Yoongi. Yoongi opened it and checked if the photos were still there.

"Who are they?"

"The girl's my first girlfriend, who died about 20 years ago and the guy on the swing was my mentor. Jimin was my second male love and my last."

"Who was your first love?"

Yoongi opened his mouth to answer but he stopped. A name floated around his head but he couldn't remember how he looked like. It was only about 30 years ago since he last saw him. But it was like his face was erased entirely out of his memories.

"He's name is Jack."

"Uno!" Yoongi threw his final card down and his hands up in the air in victory. The rest flung their cards aside, grumbling under their nose.

Jungkook raised his shirt again, this time his wound was completely gone.

"It's time," he said in a sullen voice. "Thank you all so much for helping me. How can I repay you?" Jungkook turned to Yoongi. "How about I restore your memories?"

"What?"

"Your memories. They're torn and ripped apart due to your immortality. Don't you have problems remembering the past?"

Yoongi nodded in agreement. If this could restore his memories of his first love, he would gladly take it.

Jungkook cupped Yoongi's face again, but this time it was gentle.

They both froze up and their eyes glowed their own individual colour, Jungkook a soft yellow whereas Yoongi a deep shade of black.

When Jungkook finally let go of Yoongi, he tumbled backwards and landed in the arms of Taehyung. Yoongi looked up at Taehyung and gasped. He quickly pulled him in an embrace.

"Jack, you're alive."
