Chapter Nineteen

"Everyone has a dark nature. Everyone. Good man fear it, and evil man embrace it."

-James islington









Jungkook, threw his chunky timberlands on ground, grabbing pipe line, he proceed to climb up. All while being discreet and making no noise trying not to get caught by Hoseok.





He had disregard Yoongi's text about him finding the basement as well as Hoseok's message reminding him to meet at the front of the house first.

The group mates thing didn't matter anymore. He didn't care if someone got in his way or know his intentions but for now he has to hide from everyone to be able to do his task.





It was hard to climb on the slippery pipe and occasional scratched from iron screws did some numbers on him.

His phone was left on his back pocket and his loaded Glock on his other. He had switch to leather pants with tight shirt to not leave room for being hold or snatched by anyone.

The first thing in morning he received a call from granny about remembering that Kim's mother visiting town's Shaman religiously when she was alive. He would have gone to talk or get cure to defeat devil but he hasn't enough time for that.

He chose not to go anywhere and observe the scene unveil from his cabin.

The couple had already vanished near backdoor of Kim's house while Hoseok chose to wait in front.

When he saw him preparing weapons, he decided to sneak from window built on the backside of first floor. He didn't care about anything except his own business even if it's to defy his so-called new friends. His goal was different from others.








He softly landed inside the house, quickly closing the window back, after doing extra work, undoing to all the tight bolts.

He chose to come from this side because Hana and Yoongi could be downstairs. He already knew what he had to find.

After stalking Jin and noticing his little habits, he knew what to look for. Swiftly swaddling, he lean down and notice two silhouette sneaking in the dark, and he softly jumped when he heard a opening of house from upstairs. He sneak in the built library under the staircase, info gave by Hoseok when he stole the image of blueprint Kim's house.

He slip inside the small room which was quite clean and he find many books stashed in order. And it was not a surprised that they were all dark and mysterious, spooky title and manuscripts.

He fumbled with the titles, but didn't find that one. He had seen Kim always carrying a leather book. He had a hunch that it could be used as important evidence.

Shaking his head, he backpaddle and tried to concentrate, if it was a precious book for him then where would he hide it.

Like an imaginary bulb going off on his head, he stop looking on the obvious places and come near the study table, it was empty, no book on side. Tapping on flat wood, he felt the smooth surface then a hallow line. Picking on it, he pulled and find a extra drawer built there like how old furniture. He didn't realize his breathe, afraid that it might all his dream.

He take a seat after securing the lock and read the simple title 'Fodinae' on it. The leather was worn out but still well kept. Turning the pages, he read what looked like the events, personal feelings and the details of horror this house has seen and suffered.

His frown deepened with the progress in the book which felt heavy with Kim's emotion. Some words light like it didn't want to be hear, other were dab with, they were weighing a tonne.












He read the faded papers till he can't read anymore, till he felt the tears sliding and dripping in the scribbles, he read till his mind petrified from experiencing the illusion like he was there when the incident happened. He read how Seokjin felt all these years, caged, confine in the small town where nobody knew what he was feeling, the fear behind his brave arrogant persona. A broken monster, he become.

























Hana ignore the low grumbling voice behind her, brain went to autopilot, choosing to go after Yoongi who looked nonetheless than a thirsty beast. Thirsty for someone's blood.

He was moving like wind, without a care of his surrounding and kicked the door hard, breaking the blocking chair from impact. Seokjin who was laying on his bed startled and didn't see the punch coming on his way. Yoongi's small physique unmatched against the tall and firm physique of Kim but the fury of the former gave him immeasurable power to beat the one responsible for the state of his best-friend. The angel who died from the stupid games of Kim, who died in a dirty basement, whose last breath ended in panic of not feeling anything, who died because he wanted to save someone. His death was on Kim's head. And Yoongi would make him regret, laying his hands on Jimin, until his death, beast or devil, he doesn't care.

It felt like watching a lucid dream, where Hana couldn't move her hands, legs felt jelly watching Yoongi hitting Kim and knocking his lithe body on table. The groaning of victim snap her out, she tried to move Yoongi away, to not do something which he will regret later. She didn't know what happened, what he saw and why Jimin's wasn't with him but she knew better that to let him dwell in violence.

"Yoongs stop, YOONGS" she screamed in helplessness.

"NO HANA, YO- you don't know what he did, what he did to our Jiminie" Yoongi was seeing nothing but red.

"NO! stop, don't waste your time on him" Hana felt her inside churn, bile threatening to come out from his words. Jimin's dead. Her Jimin died.

"YOU DIDN'T SEE WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE DAMMIT! H-how he turned away from me, how he cried and it was all because of this bastard" it was hard for him to leave Jimin's body in basement but carrying him out was another hassle with thousand of eggs cemented on his body.














Suddenly a gluttony sound bloom in whole house, screeching nails, stopped the commotion. The sound was like far cry of hunger, rumbling, terrifying and animalistic that it shook all their senses. Hana looked behind her the door left ajar in alarm, while Yoongi was looking at Kim who's face turn white, loosing the melanin colour. The growl was inhumane, no human or animal could make such sound. Hana's mind travel to the previous event of adjacent room, she'd came from. Thinking how she barely escape from the inhumane thing, leave a shudder to her.

"H-he is comin- " Seokjin's face paled, body shivering like leaf from immense fear. He made a run towards door but Yoongi grabbed him by back of the collar.

"SHOW ME YOUR DEVIL FACE WHO KILLED MY FRIEND" Yoongi didn't paid much attention to the direction of sound, knowing the source was present in the room. Kim.

"Shhhhh ,he will hear you-" the man panicked, clawing on the holding hands to be free.

"Son of bitch! What are you even saying?" Yoongi seethe at the tall man, not getting his words.




"Tsk tsk, stop Min Yoongi!" a familiar voice ordered, putting halt to the growing commotion.


"Hoseok, you don't know what he did to our precious Jimin. Arrest him!"

"My friend, I heard you enough. Now back off!" he moved his gun, gesturing Yoongi to leave the man.

"What?"

"You heard me Hana, tell your lover to back off or I'll blow his brain" Hoseok stood in the doorway menacingly. The unreadable expression on his face was terrifying, carrying unknown weapons on his back.

















Jungkook closed the book with a sigh and took a minute to think thoroughly.

He knew Hoseok had been hiding his real intentions. While Hana, Yoongi and Jimin were unknowingly tangled in Kim's mess but the intelligent cop didn't stumbled stupidly.




Jungkook was skeptical of Hoseok since day one. A question his guts always asked, 'Why does he only offered his help now when previously Jungkook had made regular visit in the station about this matter? Why only now?'



The answer appeared on the evening meeting when Hoseok was leaving his cabin with everyone else and left his phone on the table. Jungkook had taken it to pass over but a text notification goes off something about weaponry.

A checklist of guns and ghostbusters but what shocked him was the ghost trapper mentioned in the last.

There was no plan of capturing the devil.










When he searched about it, he found that they are used to capture spirits and entities and later used as slaves or seal the deals. Sneakily putting a tracker chip under his phone case, he waited for his suspicion to go wrong. But on morning conference call, Hoseok had said that he was out of town to buy weaponries then why the hell did his location bleep near the station?







The answer was clear as day, Hoseok had already brought the weapons and was waiting for his plan to work. He didn't care about Seokjin and would probably kill him in the process. Sending Hana and Yoongi first was his strategy, to use them as bait, a collateral damage to agitate the devil.



Jungkook had thought about alerting the couple but the call went to voicemail consistently.



Drowning the worry for his groupmates, he worked on his initial plan to dug the truth of Seokjin before he killed by Hoseok's hands.




He could care less for stuck up criminal who was behind the killings of hundred. But now that he knows the truth, he have to save him. He have to reach there first before Hoseok.





























"What are you doing Hoseok?" The betrayal didn't settle good with Hana.

"Oh you naïve girl, did you really thing I was helping you? Hah! such innocents people"

"What are you spitting?" Yoongi tried to lounge at him but Hoseok point his gun on Hana which forced him to halt.



"I have heard the voice of devil just now and I want to propose a deal with him" he motion the three to stand in a position. "Go there, yeah just like that. Good girl, and you stay right there while I put a bullet on your girl's head" Hana was standing alone, targeted by the gun whereas Seokjin was held by Yoongi as per Hoseok's command.




"Why are you doing this? You are a cop" the anxious tone of Yoongi was unheard. He was worried for his girlfriend who was silently weeping.



"Exactly I am a cop, mere cop. Just like my father. I resented my helpless state. I am small as ant in this big world, my words doesn't have power just like my father nor there's any place for my honesty. Now it's my time to overpower everything. I want everything like you have Kim Seokjin. The power, the respect, the money, everything" he roared like a hungry beast.

"But you were a good co-" Hana tried to hold the inevitable as far as she could.

"And what did it gave me? Nothing. Years of dedication led my demotion, from Seoul to man-eater, from head of department to plain cop. I tried to follow the right path but what does it gave? Nothing but humiliation"

"You didn't have to do that? I know you're good inside-"

"Oh shut up girl! Keep your good boy and bad boy lecture away. Like seriously wasn't Jimin a good person, and from the words of Yoongi, it looks like Kim had devour him. I am not going to end up like him"

"Why are you on me? What did I do?" the trembling in Kim's voice was clear but his entire focus wasn't on Hoseok.

"I have nothing against you. Sure I have been after you because of investigation but my determination to catch you was after getting the whiff of devil. I have visited your shaman"

"What-"

"I know your little secret. And now I want the devil, he has the power which will give me everything. For that, I just have to separate your body from his spirit"

"And how will you do that?" Yoongi asked.

"Simple. By feeding him meat and blood of little girl"

"NO! Put the gun away Hoseok" he warned

"No no, stay right there! Or you would be his next meal" he motion Kim to go beside Hana.

"You are thinking wrong" Seokjin pleaded.

"Oh no, I am thinking the right. I brought this soul trapper with me, can't afford the spirit to go back to forest, now do we?" he click the safety off and point the gun at Hana's head.



"Now now say good bye to your boyfriend~" the sound of gunshot ranged in the ears of spectators. Yoongi had already leaped towards Hana whose eyes were shut from the anticipation. Seokjin had his arms around his body, protecting himself when a painful groan demand their attention.

Hoseok was sprawled on the floor, warm blood oozing from his hand where he was shot.

"Jungkook!" Yoongi shouted in relief. He have never felt this good seeing the young man.

"Sorry I was little late to party"

"What are you doing here?" Hana spoke in shaky voice and it broke her boyfriend's heart, he couldn't help but embrace her in his iron hold.

"I came after you and already knew what his intentions were but I didn't think he will actually hurt Hana"

"My diary?" Seokjin accused in a small voice upon seeing a familiar worn out leather book clutched in his underarms.

"I wanted to know about my sister"

"Jungkook" the tears gathered around his eyes. The couple never saw him shedding tears let lone be in vulnerable expression.

"I know now what you have been dealing with, how burdened you must have been felt. I can understand your pain. You must have felt restricted and caged"

"You do?"

"Yes and I forgive you hyu-"

They don't know what happened. Jungkook had been standing in doorway, wearing serene expression when all of a sudden his face contoured in pain and a bladed hook went through his body. Their screams couldn't drowned the growls, merely watched Jungkook wincing in pain. The sharp tentacle retreated swiftly, leaving a big hole behind. Even in pain, he offered them a smile, the curling lips knew something ,warning them when a hurricane came and haul him in up and vanish in thin air, drowning all sound.

Terrified with gruesome scene, Hana's legs turn jelly while Kim was trying to pull them away. He was panicking and sweating like crazy.

"Comeon we don't have much time, it will come again"

"What? What was that?"

"Don't bother, you won't believe me anyway"

"I think you owe us some explanation. First Jimin and now Jungkook"

"What was that? It wasn't human"









"Because it's the devil"
