Chapter 53.
Jimin's pov
I stand outside the door of their house. I feel goosebumps starting to form. I don't know why I'm so nervous, I just feel like this won't be a normal night.
The security let me in..I kinda had to use my eyes to persuade him. The driveway is really long and I park my car near the front door. I make my way up the stairs to the door, knocking twice and stepping back. I've only been outside the gates rather than inside the compound, it actually looks really beautiful and almost so familiar.
The door opens and a tall slender female appears. She has jet black hair and a white dress. She looks beautiful but stressed, only meaning that Yoona's father is still at the hospital. "Hello? Can I help you? How did you get in?" She turns to start closing the door but I stop her.
"Sorry ma'am uh I'm Park Jimin-"
"Oh Jimin? Mr Park's son?" She asks a hint of a smile spreading on her lips. "The honourable head boy?"
I smile and look at her warmly, she opens the door wider allowing me to step in.. I feel bad, nobody invited me yet I'm standing her as if I was called to this house.
"What can I do for you?" She asks with a gentle smile.
"How's Mr Kim doing?" I ask calmly with a hint of sympathy. She gulps and nods her head.
"It's Uhm..." She takes a deep breath. "He's getting better, I know he is." She whispers the last part, already giving me the assurance that he's condition is getting worse. If Yoona is not saved now then her family will crumble.
"I'm sorry,"
She waves her hand disregarding the situation. "I'm sure you're here for Yoona. What did she do this time?"
I frown. "I'm sorry Mrs Kim but she did nothing. Yoona is extremely a good girl, she just got caught up in some things but she's still the same Yoona we love..she still sings like an angel, talks like a dizzy girl, studies like an owl, stays up to watch movies... Comforts like a wife...she's still the same."
All while I spoke and got lost in the memories and thoughts of Yoona I couldn't help and notice that Mrs Park turned red..
"I'm sorry Mrs Park forgive me, I'll just go see her," she nods her head with a big smile giving me directions to her room.
I walk up the stairs carefully and slowly looking at all the pictures on the wall of Yoona and her dad when they where young. She looks so lively and happy as if she's never met no flaw..no Hoseok..no blemish. That happiness in her eyes is what I want to see- that's why I must do this.
I knock lightly on the door in the middle of the long passage.
"I'm not hungry," I hear her faintly.
I clear my throat. "It's Jimin..Yoona,"
It's silent for a while but the door opens rapidly and she stands before me. She's wearing a pink night gown that's revealing her inner parts with her...lady parts popping out, she quickly spreads hair to frame and cover those parts. Her face perfectly illuminating the rays of moonlight pouring in her room. Just like the old times, instead of us seeing each other over the cameras during the night, we're seeing each other face to face.
She gulps and steps aside.
"You saw nothing." She says
I look at her with a smirk one last time and enter her room. The walls are floral pink with cute artistic patterns, there's a a tall shelf with what looks like organised clutter from books to little collected dolls and boxes still unopened and frames of photos, her bed is in the middle not touching the wall, there's a study/personal table with a laptop and computer and a tall dress mirror in the corners. I walk towards the window sitting on the little panel there looking outside the window to the big full moon. From this view it's bright and beautiful.
And just like Abraxax said, there's a garden that looks so familiar like the scorching beautiful photo in my study. He's the one who gave my father the painting. He knew all along that this was my fate.
Yoona sits on the opposite side of the panel with pillows. "Hey," she says shyly. Her eyes are puffy and red but her smile is real.
I chuckle. "Yeah I'm sorry I meant hey, I just..came to check up on you,"
"Really? At this time of the night, when I've finished my bath." her voice is soft and her eyes are sincere.
I nod my head looking around her room. "Well I remembered that you blocked me so I just thought that I could see you on my own," She makes an oh face and I keep speaking . "You know, most girls wouldn't just reveal their room like that. I know when I was with Seolhyun I was never allowed in her room,"
"Why?" Yoona smiles.
I shrug my shoulders. "That's why I always preferred for you to come over to my place. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable...but I should've realised that you are nothing like Seolhyun." I look down at the garden. "How have you been?"
"Stressed...As you can see, at school and home." She sighs crossing her legs also looking at the garden. "You know..." She suddenly says. "This is where I made the agreement with Hoseok in my dream.."
"This garden?" I ask. She nods her head.
"In my dream at night, midnight. Everything was dark and I couldn't have imagined it because it felt so real." I glance at her and she licks her lips. "I could see him coming out of the fog. It was the first time I've actually seen him. Neither can I ever forget that kiss because those lips were too sweet..and dangerous,"

Yoona's pov
I turn away feeling my heart beating fast as I hear words in head..his thoughts. He...doesn't....
"I feel it again," I say out loud looking at him, he's confused at what I'm saying. "I don't know if you remember but the first time I kissed Hoseok in real life infront of you and Namjoon- I heard you...in my head..your thoughts,"
"My thoughts..."
I nod my head. "Yeah it happens everytime I would kiss Hoseok. Right now even talking about Hoseok I can hear your thoughts.."
"M-my thoughts.." it's as if he's panicking at what I'm saying. "You can hear what I'm thinking,"
"I feel like my whole drama is bothering you because you're arguing in your brain of whether you should or shouldn't," I gulp fixing my eyes on him. I really do need him right now, he's the only one who understands my situation.
The past few days without Hoseok have been hell for me. I always got nightmares, couldn't sleep always feeling like I would burn in my sleep. Frightened for my dad's life, it's the weakest I've ever seen him. I can't carry on like this, especially with the voice in my head. It seems as if there's a growing army in me that only comes out at night. There's chants and piercing screams. It's hell in my head. I'm leaving in my own hell and at the most when I want someone to help me and give me peace and comfort is Jimin, because he's given me so much hope. But here he is, deciding whether he should help me or not. I'm such a fool.
"No Yoona, that's not it. That's not what I'm arguing about. I want to help you, I really do...there's two ways and.." He shakes his head looking down at my hand. "Yoona get him out your head," he softly says holding my hand.
I bitterly laugh my tears edging out. "He's been in me for a very long time Jimin." He wipes my tears that fall. "How do I get him out? How do I do it"
"Kiss me."
My mind clears away all doubt about him.
"Kiss me and break the promise.."
My heart pounds in my chest at the thought of kissing him. I can't possibly give out of this opportunity. He scoots closer to me inching to my face. His small soft hand rides my neck slowly. My eyes are blurry with tears and I close my eyes waiting for it. For his kiss, his kiss to change me.
I feel his fresh breath on my face and come forward trying to meet him half way. His hand behind my neck brings me closer to him.
I wait and wait for something. Anything that could possibly change me. Maybe he already kissed me, like a holy blind kiss. I slowly open my eyes seeing his eyes and a hint of sadness, they roam all over my face. He lets go and stands up leaving me down.
"Jimin.."
"I'm sorry," he apologizes and turns back to me holding my hand. "I can't..kiss you. It's not right..it's not. Damn," he whispers looking down at our hands. "We have to go see someone,"
"At this time? Right now?" I ask.
"Yes,"
As he says that I wonder to myself a lot about what just happened but I quickly head in the depth of my closet to change into more suitable clothes for wherever we're going. I wear my dark black jeans and a white t-shirt to match what he's wearing. Ever since this morning from my dream I had..I dreamt that the demons in me cut my feet off and ate it. Thus till this night they've been aching since, so I find a per of flip flops.
As I come out Jimin smiles at my choice and walks to me. He stands right infront of me looking at my toes.
"Don't look at my toes, it makes me feel all weird," I try hiding them but he laughs slightly. He holds my shoulders and kisses me on the forehead taking me by surprise.
"I promise you Yoona, I'm with you in this battle with all my blood, sweat and tears." He says. "Let's go,"
As we go downstairs I spot Sunmi heading to the kitchen. I tell Jimin to wait for me and run to the kitchen.
"What." She says motionless while charging her phone.
"Sunmi-"
"Wasn't it maid?" She asks looking annoyed. My relationship with Sunmi has gotten from bad to worse. She never listens to me or even gives me a chance. "Jimin may be fooled and blinded by you but I know you because we are at home. I don't know what you do out there for others to see that you're caring and all that nonsense, but it's not gonna work with me. You blew your cover the day you called me maid. But I am soon to be your step mother, so get used to this behaviour and stop trying." Just like that she turns back to her phone leaving me shivering and wanting to burst out in tears.
I quickly dry myself. "I really am sorry," I whisper before leaving.
I find Jimin outside in his car with his hand on the gear. I get in his car and he takes a hold of my hand kissing it. "It's gonna be alright. Okay?"
"Okay."

"What's wrong with your feet my child?" The priest asks.
I thought Jimin would've taken me to his house to see his dad or mum or somebody else. I was not expecting his priest. I have always been afraid of entering in a place like this. Knowing that I have sinned greatly and most likely an evil spirit is in me terrifies me that I've entered here. This is a place for God
"My child," the priest laughs. "Do not be afraid. This is the right place,"
I nod my head looking over at Jimin. He's had his head down since, deep in thought but his hand is still in my hand. I smile lightly looking back to the priest.
"I..."
"The truth Yoona. Was it the demons?"
I nod my head not feeling the need to lie anymore. I'm tired of suffering. "They've been tormenting me and eating me from the inside," I open my hand showing it to the priest. Jimin looks up at my hand as well. "I only saw this yesterday after school." The red scar right at the palm of my hand spreads out slowly. "They've been patching me with these marks ever since in the dream world. I was shocked to see that it's also in my real life. In my dream I'm trapped in a cage with other dead people and there's an evil me who sits at the bottom underneath the cage waiting for my blood to spill upon her."
The priest nods his head looking at Jimin. "There's still time." Reassuring us both. "But before we deal with Yoona, I wanted to speak to you Jimin. Your heart is troubled. Speak up, did temptation come."
He nods his head looking at me rapidly before avoiding my eyes.
"Did you give in? Did you listen to the evil beings words?"
He nods his head again.
"Who was it?"
"Abraxax."
I've heard that name before.. it's the master of Hoseok the day he was supposed to take me away Hoseok called him Death. He's the guy who wanted me dead since.
"He told you everything." The priest continues.
Jimin nods his head looking straight at the priest. "Why didn't you tell me that my gift or curse was from Barong himself?"
"Because I knew he would tell you."
I look back and forth at Jimin and the priest trying to understand what's going on. Who the heck is Barong?
"Jimin my son, it was a test to see if you would join him," the Priest says. "He told you something, how to save Yoona. What did he tell you to do to Yoona in order to save her?"
Jimin is silent and the sympathetic view is back on his face. To save me, I thought we came to the church to do that unless..
"He told you to kiss me. Didn't he?" I ask Jimin holding tightly on his hand. "Jimin.."
He nods his head. "He said that if I gave you one kiss on your sweet lips you would be saved, that everything would be back. And I wanted that, I wanted you to be happy again so I said I would do it. But when.." he turns to me. "When I got to your house and saw all your pictures and how happy you were, I knew that you would be happy again but not as Yoona, instead as your alter ago Ra. The demon goddess that was in you. He told me to kiss you in the lips and remove all the venom Hoseok gave you. But as soon as I had you in my embrace and you looked so eager and ready to be saved then it hit me that if I did kiss you then indeed I would loose you and loose myself because he said that I would become powerful and rule over you and many other girls," he says it all out. "I couldn't kiss you,"
I hold on his hand tightly surprising him. He returns it by squeezing my hand lightly.
"You didn't kiss her. Abraxas from the moment he wrote his book was a very evil man. He took the Bible verses and manipulated them in a way that made him right and everyone else wrong. That kiss he told you to do was a manipulation of Judas to Jesus. He kissed Jesus and in doing so he betrayed Jesus. Since you didn't kiss Yoona, you didn't betray Jesus and thus your curse is uplifted. In saving one person you redeemed yourself and your family," the priest says with a smile. "You've broken your curse,
Jimin's eyes widen and he looks back to the priest.
"Yes Jimin. You and your family are free,"
I smile brightly for Jimin wanting to so badly hug him. He grins while thanking the priest.
"No problem. God never turns away from his children and is always there no matter how many times you sin. Just come back to him, come back to His house. You saved yourself in his presence," he says. "Now you my daughter, there's a couple of exorcisms I have to do on you, but when it's done you'll be yourself again and everything that wasn't right will turn right,"
"Thank you,"
"But firstly I want you to confess that Jesus is your Lord and saviour, and that His will shall be done. So that His angels may be with you forever. You cried and He heard. Jesus wants to save you,"
