A Little Death || BTS x Seokjin

TWO

Seokjin found himself in a dark room once again. He sighed, it had been a week since he went to the library to read about Satan. After that, he continued on with his life. He acted as if nothing had occurred, as if that weird scene at the library didn't take place, as if that strange dream never happened.

Yet, here he was again. Another dark place, he wasn't scared but it still put him on edge. This dream, like the other one, felt real.

He looked around, squinting as if that would make his vision better. Instantaneously, a door opened behind him just a crack, letting light run into the dark room he was in. He walked towards it and opened the door. He was in another unknown room. The fireplace was lit and a dark long table was placed in the middle of the room. There was nothing on the table except for two plates across from each other and a plate stacked with red apples on the middle of the table. He sat in front of one of the plates, a single apple stood there staring at him.

The door behind him suddenly creaked, but he didn't turn to see who would come through the door. He heard it close shut and slowly, the person walked to the other side of the table, sitting in front of the other plate.

"Nero, I'm glad to see you. I'm sorry that I took so long to contact you again." The man sighed, "You know how busy it gets." He smiled up at Jin but his smile fell as soon as he saw Jin.

"My name is not Nero." Jin has never met a man so beautiful. His mom was right, he was extremely handsome. Blue eyes that seemed to pierce into you, and soft looking brownish/gold hair framed his face.

"Oh." The man looked a bit taken a back but smiled again, "Don't tell me you forgot?"

"Who are you?"Jin was not going to answer any of his questions until he had his questions answered.

"Why are you asking? You already know, you went to the library to read up on me. I'm flattered by the way." The man winked at Jin, and he could feel his ears turn red ever so slightly.

"I'm gonna refresh your mind. Nero was your first body." Seokjins eyes slightly widened.

"W-What do you mean first?" The man took a bite of the apple and smiled in satisfaction.

"I told them to bring the best apples, and they actually did. I haven't had an apple in so long. Who knew the forbidden fruit was so good? Reminds me of old times, poor Eve." The man looked down at the bitten apple in his hand and chuckled, "Adam and Eve weren't good at communicating with each other. In the end, you can see how kind of sexist He is." He looked up at Jin expectedly.

"Alright." Jin relaxed and took in a deep breath. He took the apple and bit into it. The man nodded in approval.

"I mean, he told her that her husband would rule over her. Imagine how she felt when she was treated badly by him." The man sighed.

"You didn't answer my question." Jin said carefully, but made a mental note to read on what he had just said.

"Right. Nero was the first body you inhabited, a lot of your subjects really admired you." The man looked at Jin with joy. "As great emperor Trajan once said, your first 5 years were the greatest reign in Roman history." The man smiled triumphantly.

"What?" Jin didn't understand a single thing that came out of his mouth.

"What a pain." The man rolled his eyes, "Listen and you'll remember."

"Fine, fine." Jin took another bite of his apple and listened.

"Your mother, Agrippina did so much for you, got her hands dirty. She made it possible for you to rule the Roman empire at just sixteen. I will admit, she wanted you up there so she could be up there too." He shook his head, "And when she was planning to murder you, you sent her to go on a trip on some ship. However, you ordered that ship to be made to sink. Surprise surprise, somehow she survived." He smirked.
