28 Days | Jungkook ✔

Fake Smile

    Hurriedly, I walked with Eun-Kyung back to the phone booth.

    When we arrived there, we saw someone leaning their arm against the phone booth. Awaiting there was...

    "Taehyung!" I called out.

     I couldn't stop myself from leaping into his arms. "You're okay!"

     "Of course I am. I'd never go down without a fight." He pats my head.

    "Where's Jimin?"

    Taehyung instantly looked pale at the mention of him.

    "He's not here. He's not on Earth. He's..."

    "In the Heavens." I complete his sentence. "Will we be able to see him again?"

Taehyung purses his lips together. "I don't know. Jimin was severely damaged by my demonic energy... I don't know how long he'll be unconscious for. And it's clear I can't be around him again."

"I'm so sorry, Taehyung-"

"No don't be sorry. I'm happy just to see the love of my life again even if it was for a few days. It was nice to feel his warmth and just be in his presence... but I guess we were fated to love each other but not be able to hold each other. I was cursed to be the Devil's son and Jimin was blessed to be an angel so we cannot breathe the same air."

"Taehyung, I promise you, this pain is temporary. I've never seen two souls as compatible as you and and Jimin. I have a feeling you guys will be together. And I will do everything in my power to make it happen."

He gives a fake smile "I hope so."

I grab Taehyung's hand. "And don't say you were cursed to be the devil's son. Your life matters just as much as anyone else's. You're just as important to this universe as Jimin. It doesn't matter where you were born and which family you are apart of. All creatures were created equal."

Taehyung grins and I can finally see the light in his eyes, shining brighter than any fire in hell. "I am so lucky for you to be my life."

    "And I'm luck to have you. C'mon, we have only a week left 'til the mission ends. We can't waste anymore time."

    Taehyung sighs. "Are you sure you still want me with you? I'm completely useless."

"How could you be useless?"

    "My powers aren't functioning like they were before. And my body is so much more weaker than it used to be..."

    "You are my friend. That's all that matters. Two heads is better than one. I don't need your supernatural abilities when you still have your intellectual abilities. And if you feel ill, I will take care of you," I assure him.

Taehyung finally agrees to come with me. With Eun-Kyung's help, we use the phone booth to transport back to Earth.

We walk out of the phone booth.

"Thanks so much, Eun-Kyung," Taehyung bows to his friend.

"Anytime. Take care of your body, Taehyung and take care of Y/n as well."

Taehyung nods. "I will."

"And even though you have so many forces against you that wants your brother dead... I'm still on your side. Everyone else in the Underworld may want you to fail, but I don't. I really want you to succeed."

Taehyung smiles. "Thanks so much! I'll try to pay you back one day for how you've helped me."

Eun-Kyung finally waves farewell. In a blink of an eye, he instantly disappears.
