Red Strings.

They are believed to tie soulmates together. Different myths and stories about these legendary strings can be heard almost every where.

You will say , red strings are invisible to human eyes and are tied to soulmates after being born. However , the bond of the soulmates can be broken by some procedures.

That's what Jimin's father decided to do.

His finger would be connected to the finger or rather the bone of the finger of the skeleton. He would be tied to her for eternity. That's the only way to stop the corpse from causing a havoc.

He was ready to sacrifice his own child for gaining a reputation . His years of experience as an exorcist contained noting but failed procedures. He could not drive away the evil spirits out of the possessed people he had encountered.

His wife hated him and his profession. He was always into paranormal stuff since his teenage years.

His father did his best to tie him down to family matters and proper education but he wasn't interested. Jimin's mother was married off to him so that he could find his way back to living a proper life and not move around like nomads.

She failed to do so. The once loving wife of his turned bitter with time. And after several years of being married , Jimin came to their household.

He always had a concept that women should stay within their limits. He had everything irrational within him.

His wife had turned into a severe alcoholic. She couldn't consume alcohol in her pregnancy stage which caused her to grow a feeling of distance towards her unborn child.

She wanted Jimin to become a normal guy unlike his father. She suffocated him with loads of books and loneliness. Never did Jimin try to befriend someone out of their household. He was scared of his mother's reaction. He was not ready to face the imprints of her slender hands on his body.

Jimin's father was aware of everything but he did nothing to give him a proper and free life. He did not even want his child to see the sunlight.

Jimin was a caged bird isolated from all those who were flying in the blue sky. His wings had never flapped .

He always thought he was nothing but a burden . He was being an extra presence in the house. He wanted to lead a soundless life without being bothered. But there was the shrieks and cries of a newborn. And he finally got the opportunity to use his son in a good way.

The look of fear and pleads in his small marble eyes did not ring any bell in his father's heart. He remained cool . What was the big deal about marrying a dead body ? It won't be of any harm.

He was determined to make his child the long desired groom of the corpse.

There was an ulterior motive he was looking forward to achieve. The dust of the bones of the corpse.

It would be extremely beneficial for him to have it. Every bone of the corpse had different super power running through them. If he smashed them and made dust out of them , no supernatural being would be able to compete with him.

There was no way he would leave out that chance .

All he needed was to marry his son off to calm her down. It's soul hadn't parted from its body . It was still stuck in that skeleton wishing for a proper groom as good as her sisters'.When he first took out her body from the coffin , he was first startled that her body still had her face intact. But surprisingly it was a good looking face.

Her sun kissed face was curved into an oval. Her closed eyes had long lashes with well framed brown eye brows. Her nose was little in size and her plump red lips stood out the most. She had ears on which pearl earrings hanged.Her silky black hair secured with two fancy pins reached upto her hip bones.

She seemed as if she was sleeping peacefully. He had made sure to come with all precautionary measures even though it had no power in the broad daylight.

" How does she have a face till now ?" He had muttered to himself while gazing at the odd body.

" She had been taking features from the females she had killed. She's constructing herself I guess. " The guard of the graveyard had told him. He had been paid well to lead him to the cursed grave.

" Why ? Does she want to do something after being completed ?"

" There are several myths about that sir... People of our village say that she will be rebuilding herself to change her appearance. Her face which had prevented herself from getting married.... She wanted to change it into something lovable so that she can marry an aristocrat. She would only be freed of this misery this way. "

Jimin's father had another plan in mind. He wanted her bones.... He needed to get her married soon if he wanted to be successful.

Jimin being a minor didn't matter as long as no one knew. Everything which mattered was power and money. He just needed to shut up his servants .

Things went totally wrong when he talked to his wife about his wish after the wedding ceremony. His goal was to visit the graveyard in the name of the wedding. His wife turned really quiet after that. She departed towards the graveyard without hearing anything more about that. Her eyes showed anger and disgust.

She was always the only force that controlled Jimin. Having his father involving him into supernatural things for his own benefit had made her mad.

The next thing which he heard in the afternoon was that she had gone back to home.

He thought that everything was alright and she would calm down in some days.

Who knew that everything would go in an unexpected way ?
