Closet Travels [BTS FF]

Prologue

It was the dead of the night, the soft flickering of a flame doing nothing to appease the fright of a certain young child. She curls unto herself and raises her short, bloody palms to her ears, eyes screwed shut as the roaring thunder continued through the storm. She wills herself to find shelter in a nearby tree.

She had no comprehension of what should be deemed scary or not but she relied heavily on instincts.

And by instinct, the sky crying was particularly gut-wrenching.

She didn't know where she was, what her identity is or how she even got here, all she remembers is blood and a decapitated body next to her. She could vaguely remember something flying away but that was before the foreboding storm came in and scared her to the ends of her wits, everything after that was blurry with fear.

She feels a sense of grief over the decapitated body and couldn't bear to look at it any further; pushing her focus to the dying flame inside a lantern in what looked like a livable cave.

There were numerous stone statues of men (and every so often women) scattered around the place with faces morphed into everlasting fear, the young girl found them to be very life-like and secretly praised whoever managed to carve with such accuracy. They seemed to have stayed there for quite some time, enough for vines to wrap itself around the stone humans.

"Oh, dear!" She hears a soft gasp from far away.

Startled, the young girl turns her head to see a divinely beautiful woman next to the decapitated body. The woman stared back at the girl in shock but with a psychotic gleam in her eyes, a sickly smile slowly spreading across her rose-red lips.

"I'm Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Who might you be young one?" If her physical beauty wasn't enough then her voice would be the cherry on top. The woman who she now identified as the goddess Aphrodite reaches her slender hand to the young girl and tilts her head to the side, inviting her to her arms.

"I-I don't know.. I don't know who I am or how I got here. That b-body was next to me when I woke up a-and I was covered in blood! I'm so scared, I-I'm so scared.."

She finally breaks and lets out a grievous sob, her cries echoing in the forest. Her body shakes at the intensity of her weeps and she curls unto herself again, Aphrodite frowns at this and settles at pulling the child into her bosom, gently combing her fingers through the child's luscious hair.

"Now now my precious flower, let mommy take care of you."

"Eros you dickhead, I told you I don't like him!"

"Flower, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Jimin in private?"

"And how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that wretched nickname?" The young lady scoffs.

"You don't have a name other than Flower, silly." Jimin smirks teasingly.

"For Zeus sake anything but Flower! It's what that possessive beauty goddess calls me." She groans and buries her face into her pillows, kicking off the sheets to make a statement.

"But still though, I think you should give that Earth king a chance. You're old enough to lose your virginity." Jimin moves to sit on the woman's bed, leaning down so his lips lightly grazed her ear. She unknowingly shudders, face burning like fire as she tried to evade her sinful thoughts.

"Besides, you'll love it once he's inside-"

"Shut the fuck up Eros." Flower growls and punches Jimin on his waist, making the older man double in pain as he let out a high pitched groan.

He rolls to the ground and stays there while whimpering exaggeratedly, stopping when he notices the woman's unamused face. He opts himself into a more relaxed position and gazes at the young lady fondly, lips curled in a carefree grin.

"Just saying, you shouldn't let mom dictate your life. You're like 1931 years old you should be able to decide whether you wanna fuck or not... you know, I heard even Athena isn't a virgin anymore-"

"I swear to god Jimin!"

---

"How could you do that!" Aphrodite screams in anger.

This is all your fault. The young lady glares at her older brother who happily watched in the sidelines.

It wasn't me who decided to finally get dick and get caught by a tattletale crow. Jimin stares back bemusedly.

Then there was a deafening silence, a thick fog of tension between everyone as Aphrodite's dagger-like glare remained glued on none other than her daughter. Jimin's breath hitches, the sudden shift in the aura causing him to shudder.

Something is gravely wrong.

His panicked eyes dart between the two women, capturing his bottom lip between his teeth in frustration.

What should I do?

"Precious flower, everything would have been fine if you just obeyed me." Aphrodite eyes her daughter with words dripping in malice, no one except Jimin could sense the dark change in the air.

"Come on mom, me and Erichthonius just did it once! You and the rest of those deities have probably done it two times everyone's age!" Flower whines, finally fed up and done at her mother's control.

"I'm 19 thousand some shit old! I'm not your pathetic doll that you can just dress up and make pretty! I'm your fucking daughter, a goddess like you who has more worth than just this cursed pretty face-"

"Don't you dare call me mom, I'm not your mother." The goddess mutters.

"Mom no-"

"Now I have no choice but to punish you." She whispers maniacally. Flower stays quiet and closes her eyes in exasperation, clicking her tongue as deep annoyance roots in her heart.

"F-flower!" Jimin yells in shock, reaching to his sister but was stopped by Aphrodite.

The young lady feels a tugging behind her, suddenly losing her sense of gravity as she was pulled inside her own closet.

"You think your beauty is a curse? Well, I'll show you what a real curse is."
