Jin

Unlike Hoseok the doctor yells at me for getting out of bed so early. I'm already pretty mentally present despite my little mishap earlier, but she says I need to stay for a couple more days to make sure I'm actually alright. Apparently they're mostly worried about my intestines since I had some bleeding earlier. Everything hurts a lot, but I just want to go home as soon as possible. I feel weak lying in bed like this. I guess I technically am weak, but I don't like feeling like I am. Warrior's pride.

Everyone but Hoseok left a while ago since the normal visiting hours are over. I don't know how to feel about Jimin anymore. My body just attacked him on instinct and what's even stranger is that it felt like he knew why. He smiled. Does he remember our past just like I do? No, I don't think so. If he did he'd never come visit me in the hospital. He even apologized to me several times while crying. It's just so strange. 

"You're spacing out again," Hoseok points out. 

"Ah, yeah... My head is like a scrambled mess right now. Actually, isn't it about time you go back home now, Hyung?"

He makes a surprised sound and looks at me with big eyes.

"Go home? Why?"

"Well, I'm awake now and you probably need some sleep. You've been with me here the entire time."

"And I'll happily stay with you until you get discharged!"

"No, Hyung, you have work to do. I've seen your phone vibrating non-stop for hours on end. You can't halt your entire life just because of me. I'm fine now, so you can relax. Go home and rest."

He looks at me with a slight pout since he knows I'm right. Despite that he sits back down on his chair. He's surprisingly serious.

"Before I go I need you to tell me the truth," he says. "Why and how did you save me? You've said yourself that you're not psychic, so how could you know? Jungkook said you were acting strange for a while before you ran of to get to me. What happened?"

Will he believe me if I tell the truth? Hoseok has never doubted me before, not in this life nor in my past one. It's a long shot, but it's worth a try. If someone will believe me it's definitely him. 

"You had already told me about your dream and I figured you'd die if it really came true. When I went to Jungkook's apartment something happened and I realized that we've all been a part of a past life. I remember all of it."

He makes a slightly worried face, but he's not completely doubting me. I continue.

"You, I and Jimin used to live up in Heaven together as angels. You were our leader and Jimin and I were training to be warriors to defend out home from possible evil, or rather, I was already a warrior while Jimin was trying to be one but failed. Long story short, Jimin betrayed me and I ended up in Hell were I met Taehyung and Jungkook. Once I managed to get back up to Heaven you had already been killed by Jimin's hand. That happened about a month after I'd gone to Hell and I thought the same thing might happen in this life too. That's how I knew what would happen."

He remains quiet with a calm expression for a long while as he takes in what I said. It must sound crazy even to him and he is the one who dreams about the future. 

"Did you know it was Jimin who drove the car too?" he asks.

"No, but I suspected as much."

"Is this why you keep thinking of Jungkook as Satan? Was he Satan in your past life?"

"Yes. He kept me as his prisoner until I started getting sick. At that point he'd fallen for me and decided to let me go. He wasn't a bad Satan and the proof of that is that he's here as a human now."
