EPISODE 13: F o r b i d d e n  L o v e 

Deep inside his room, Jimin faced the mirror. He saw himself slowly disappearing as his smiling demon replaced his reflection.

He took out an apple from his pocket that he had unwillingly picked up earlier. 

"No." He gasped out. 

"Yes."

He gripped the apple tightly in his hand and tapped his finger against it in a slow beat of temptation.

"No." He gripped it until it exploded, dripping in his hands.

He threw the remains next to the unsuccessful piles of rotten apple cores and banged his head against the surface of the dresser with agony and anger. 

"I can't control one demon inside of me!" He cried, allowing his fist to tightly ball up, and as it did his nails sunk into his palm, dripping down the dark red blood. "V was right. How the hell was I supposed to rule a whole kingdom if I couldn't control over my own demon." Distress brought tears down his face as he sank down to the floor and nestled his head into his knees. "I'm truly pathetic."

V woke up in a pool of damp sweat, startled by the change in his surroundings. He sat up on his bed and the memories of his demon taking over him earlier soon came back. He quickly ran to his display shelf and took out a wooden chest. Locked inside was a shard of mirror.

A he looked into it, he saw a full, glistening, raven black wing softly flapping in place behind his left shoulder. V quickly dropped the mirror back into the chest.

"I'm transforming too quickly." He gripped the wooden chest with disappointment and slight anxiety. 

He locked the chest, placing it back and stepped out the door with more confidence, leaving the image of his demon behind him. He had better plans to initiate. And first, he ought to visit Hanul for a small thank you in being a toy in his game earlier. He knew it was twisted, but the small china doll keychain would probably make it up to her. When he read her mind before, he saw the keychain her mother had given her as a keepsake before she died. What she didn't know is that he found it in the apple orchid where she had dropped it a month ago and thought she had lost it. The poor thing cried over it for a whole week.

"I think I'm starting to feel weird."

V stopped in front of her door, overhearing her speak to someone from the small open crack.

"What do you mean?" Jungkook asked her. 

"I think I'm also falling in love--like you." 

V stared down at the keychain dangling off his hand and quickly hid it inside his fist. 

"Who! Who! Which human from your college?" 

"No," she hesitated before speaking to him again, "he's not a human."

"Then what? A demon? Oh crap! Wait, is really it a demon?!" Jungkook hushed with excitement and realization. 

She chuckled, shushing his excitement down. 

"I swear I won't tell. But who is he? Tell me now Hanul!"

"No way!" She laughed, leaving Jungkook begging with impatience.

"That's not fair...I told you my secret!" Jungkook rambled on.

V tamed the escaping yellow flame from his fist before it could burn the keychain. He turned around and went back to his room.
