"Eve"

It was a slip of a tongue, or was it? It may be a slip of her mind as well, or even her heart. Who knows? All Xena knew was that she was supposed to huff at Jimin for being a weakling after dramatically falling like that but instead she breathed out a name. A familiar one. As a cherry on top, she was looking at the red haired man as if she was calling his name but she sure as hell that man was Taehyung since she vaguely heard the council members called him so it confused her as to why she called him that. Not to mention it's a female's name.

Confusion and puzzlement were written all over their faces especially Xena since she was the one who voiced out yet she's also the one who was most taken back by that. She had absolutely no idea what or why she said it and plus, her mind was not letting her eyes tear away from the dashing looking man. He's great looking and no one can deny that but that can't be the reason why she called him Eve.

Xena was about to apologize for her strange calling but she remembered that these assholes were, are, and will still be her enemy and she kept her mouth shut as she returned her face into a stern and void expression before glancing at Jimin with judgement gazes. "Drama queen", she clicked her tongue and huffed, trying to brush off the confusing situation they were in but it seemed like Taehyung wasn't letting her go that easily.

The red haired man's confused face slowly morphed into a smug and amused face as he turned to face her. "Are we going to ignore that you just called me Eve?", Taehyung took a small step towards her with a smirk and something was tell her that this man was no different than the young king. One, him and his creepy smirk was ticking her nerves. Two, till now she doesn't know nor did she witness his power and she doubted he was a primal. Third, this man seemed to know why she called him Eve and he was having a great time teasing her.

Even with Taehyung's threatening step towards her, Xena stood firmly on her ground with shoulders opened and eyes glaring in his eyes, reminding him of personal space but he seemed to not give a damn about it as he leaned down towards her with widened smirk.

"You seemed confused too, hun", Taehyung breathed out with mischief lacing his deep toned voice. He tilted his head to the head and raised his brows, waiting for her reply but Xena only scowled and clicked her tongue. "And you seemed to be not confused", Xena arched a brow at him. "That's because I know why", the red haired man was really ticking her bomb as he spoke with such arrogance and mockery and she can't wait to punch those beautiful feature of him.

Taehyung leaned back and eyed Jimin, sending him some sort of secret codes and the brunette understood. The red haired man turned back to Xena with a smirk, getting excited to reveal the truth. "It's part of law of attraction", he calmly stated while the girl frowned at his unexpected statement. She was about to ask but he added on as he pressed a finger at her chain, "Adam", and pointed back to himself, "and Eve....ta daaa", Taehyung wiggled and waved his hand as if he's surprising the girl but abruptly stopped and went back to his smug face.

While Jimin and Taehyung seemed pretty chill with it, Xena was frowning with mouth gapped as she tried to grasp his words but she was too taken back to comprehend it. She was so engrossed into her thoughts that she failed to notice that her eyes were still on Taehyung and that made his smirk widened. "You stare a lot but I can't blame you though, it's natural for you to....linger around me". His statement made Jimin smirked a little a shook his head. They seemed to have found a common hobby and that's teasing and bullying a prison of war.

"I don't understand and I don't want to understand. Now tell me why the hell am I still here? You either return me back to Fern or kill me. I don't associate with my enemies", Xena emphasized her last sentence with a glare at Jimin who just arched a brow at her. The fact that he slept right beside her after chaining her up like a wild animal AND helped her wear a pair of stupid diamond earrings had her blood boiling silently.
