Le point de vue de Taehyung

Taehyung's POV

"Envy."

Yelping, I stumbled a few steps backwards at the sudden, de trop appearance of the nosiest member of the Sins. The damned blonde guy just had to pop up right in front of me.

Straightening myself, I took a good look at the brazen faced man with a scowl for scaring me like that. The unpleasant sour expression he had made me swallow the strings of curses I was about to spit. Of fucking course he rushed here to distress me with a news.

"What?" I snapped, deepening my scowl.

Taking a glance at where I was walking towards, he sighed. "Are you going there?"

I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. "I was. Until you blocked my fucking way, Greed."

"You know she would have blocked your way even if I didn't," he retaliated, irking me.

"Just tell me what you're here for," I spat, towering over him. Still, he looked unfazed, piercing me with his fierce narrow eyes.

"Another celebrity committed suicide."

I froze for a second before wearing an impassive expression. "And?"

"Don't 'and' me, Envy. Is this really what you had to do? I heard from Lucy that she ended her life because of the constant hate she received from jealous people whose hearts you implanted envy in. You even had Eunsook hypnotize her before to make others hate her further! What is that?!"

The sudden mention of the former Sin of Lust had my breath hitching.

"Using innocent people to drive hatred and jealousy?" Greed scoffed, "You're practically murdering them, Envy!"

"Who says I'm the one murdering them?" I smiled scornfully, displeased with the way he was reproaching me. "Where did the haters go, Greed?"

"We should be messing with sinners or prospective sinners and not innocent people, dipshit!" His insult caught me off guard. He never insulted me like this before. "You use innocent people's identities to drive jealousy towards them on purpose, you asshole! I've tolerated this for too long, but you need to realize this is wrong, even for us!"

I pursed my lips, turning away from his burning eyes and settled my gaze on the laughing man in the distance, looking infuriatingly happy. The glee in his crinkled eyes had my fingers curling into fists.

"You of all people should know how horrible it feels to be the center of hatred, Taehyung. And yet, you're cornering others to be in that position."

My eyes found his distressed ones. "They would get there with or without my doing. Celebrities, especially. If you attract attention, you attract words of judgement and eyes of jealousy. And ultimately, pain and bruises."

"You took innocent lives, Tae..." His voice cracked, pain overriding his stormy expression.

I shrugged nonchalantly. "Nothing wrong with that actually. We're hell creatures, Jimin. The Virtues should be worrying about those innocent souls, not us."

"Can't we?" His eyes searched mine with uncertainty, a glimpse of vulnerability forcing me to contemplate my actions. "I know we're hell creatures, damn it. But can't we care about innocent people? Are we that depraved?"

I sighed, placing a hand on his tense shoulder. "At least I know I am. I'm a broken man, Jimin. I have nothing to lose. Nothing to gain, either. I've forgotten what guilt feels like. Seeing all these people live happily out here..." I licked my lips, clenching my teeth. "I feel utterly, completely, ridiculously jealous. Thoughts like 'Why can't that be me? Why couldn't I live like that? What did I do wrong? Why do they get to live contently while I couldn't?' run through my mind all the time."

A glance at the laughing man in the distance had my blood boiling.

"We're all unsalvageable. There's only one way out and that's by perishing as we both witnessed... Until then, Jimin..." I tightened my hold on his shoulder over the gaudy jacket. "...you and I, all of us will be reminded of our miserable fates we called our life."

The blonde man visibly gulped, his adam's apple bobbing up and down, and looked down with his lips pursed. The air surrounding us chilled, turning dreary in seconds.

"Might as well exact revenge. Don't you think?" I chuckled, not earning any reaction from the sourpuss. I wasn't expecting him to laugh or anything anyway.

I took one last look at the other man. The way he was convulsing with laughter, his grin forming a heart shape, his whole being cradled in sheer happiness was completely mocking me, punching me in the gut.

I felt like throwing up.

"I won't perish before getting my revenge, Jimin... I at least deserve that."

Apparently, Envy has been 'killing' innocent people using his powers... Is that justifiable? In the end, those people took their own lives, so is he accountable for that?
