Those who are loved, doubt nothing. Those who love, doubt everything

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

Gluttony replied me with a forced boisterous laugh, letting out squeaks in between, and opened the door, gesturing me to get inside the pink bugatti.

"Have a car trip, what else?" He simply stated.

"To where?" I chortled, shaking my head. "I think you're going a bit overboard with your powers here. The dress and the food were nice but I don't need a car, Jin. I'm good."

He scanned my off shoulder flowy dress with a tinge of sorrow. When I told him how I was preparing to admit defeat after he barged into my hotel room, he was creating everything he could think of to spoil me with the riches...

Like a farewell present.

With each item he brought out, I was beginning to feel how real it was. How my clock was ticking and ticking, closer and closer to a final stop.

"I can't do anything beyond giving you objects..." Gluttony looked away with pursed lips. "I'm sorry, Eunsook..."

My throat burned. It was so rare to see him being so helpless.

"Why are you being sorry," I laughed and slapped his back before walking away. "Let's just go for a walk. You can be my company, right?"

Soon enough, the cotton candy haired man caught up with me and matched his pace to my sluggish one. The air was colder today and I regretted not asking for a jacket with the dress. I didn't want to burden him further.

"I got you."

A warm fleece coat hugged my body and I turned to see Gluttony wrapping it around me. Giving him a soft smile, I zipped it up and tucked my shivering hands in the fuzzy pockets.

"Eunsook, is that...?"

My eyes followed where he was pointing, looking up at a tall building a few yards away before popping out. The sight prompted a horrified gasp from me.

I hastily teleported to that rooftop without wasting a second. I couldn't afford to.

Tugging at the man's hand with all my might, I pulled him down from the edge of the building before screaming like a madman.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Paralyzed by the fear of losing him, I stared at Jungkook with desperation and sheer horror. My heart had stopped. My legs wobbled. Not a single thought crossed my weakened mind.

Wide orbs stared back into mine and a breath of relief escaped the man. "Eunsook..."

"Eunsook," a deeper voice repeated from behind me.

Unfiltered fury seeped into my veins when I turned around. My eyes blurred with rage and my voice trembled with madness. Betrayal stung me as those whom I considered my brothers stood before me wearing mismatched expressions.

"What the fuck are you all doing?!"

"Your time is nearly up and you're doing nothing," Pride said calmly as if I could be subdued so easily like that.

The most hateful scoff left me.

Wrath warily stepped forward, trying to pacify me with a softer tone. "How can we sit still and let our sister slip away from our grips?"

"And your solution was to kill him?!" I gawked at him in shock. "I would have hated you idiots for the rest of my life!"

"We never demanded him to commit suicide," Sloth whispered and I snapped.

"Then what the hell is he doing trying to jump off this damned building?!"

"It's the only way I can see you, isn't it?"

I turned around and stood there speechless, processing what just said. His sure tone was unmistakable. As if he just knew. He knew what I didn't want him to know no matter what happened, no matter how much I sacrificed.

"You're not a human... You're from hell."

He knew.

"Leave us, please," I said sharply to the men behind me and they knew better than to defy. "Never try anything like this ever again."

When I no longer felt their presences, I let my shoulders drop and softened my gaze. "Did they tell you that?"

He nodded. "Professor Kim- no, the Sin of Pride as he introduced himself said that you were a Sin like him..."

"And you believed him?" I tried rubbing it off as nonsense but we both clearly knew it wasn't.

"It was hard not to. That day I called to meet you, I was suddenly back at the dorm with no recollection of what happened with you. People around us act the same way when you say something to them..." His eyes didn't reflect fear. Rather, curiosity and suspicion. "You hypnotize them, don't you?"

Shiver shot up my spine. "That's a rather wild guess... Did Pride tell you that?"

"No, actually. It was a wild guess... So it's true," he mumbled to himself, lowering his gaze to the necklace I was wearing. "He told me that I would never see you again after a few days. Never again... That you'll leave to hell forever."

My heart prickled with ache at his miserable tone. "And you're trying to go to hell to see me?! How stupid can you be? Why would you even do something like that?"

"I don't know." His head hung low. "There's nothing tying me to this world. It was the fastest way to leave to you."

"No... we can't be together and you should never come to hell," I stated firmly, raising my voice to mask the tears forming in my eyes. "I'm not a human. I'm a deadly sin, a devil. You must stay away from me."

I didn't want to hurt him.

"The story about my sister. That's my past life and how I ended up in hell," I confessed and covered my face, unable to swallow the words. "I love you, Jungkook... I really do... That's why I want you to stay away from me."

With that, I held his wrist and our surroundings shifted to that of darkness and anguish. He was awfully unfazed to see hell with his own eyes and I wondered if the others took him here before me.

"You don't seem surprised to see this place."

He gulped in silence, his eyes shaking, and I realized he was just feigning valor. Screams of the tortured souls echoed in the distance, crawling up the walls of the dark caves, making him tense up and snap his head to the directions they came from.

"This is the worst place you can ever be in and I never want you here, do you understand?" I took a few steps around the area, making my presence known with loud footsteps. "We can't be together. It's impossible. You're a living breathing human who deserves every beautiful thing life offers."

Jungkook watched me circle him with furrowed eyebrows.

"If you're with me, you'll end up in hell like this." As I came up before him, I caressed his cheek and begged him with teary eyes. "If you want to go to heaven, don't follow me... I'm an evil creature."

"I don't believe you're evil," he whispered, stepping closer and closing the gap to hold my hand. "These gentle touches... the way you care about me... they tell me otherwise."

"Don't," I warned, shaking my head with my eyes closed. "I want you to go to heaven, Jungkook."

His other hand came up to hold my face before his thumb brushed my cheek. "If you won't be there with me, I don't want to go to heaven. If you never walked into my life, I would have ended my life anyway. Please don't push me away."

My eyes snapped wide open and locked with his deep ones gazing at me so deeply. "Jungkook, please listen to yourself. You don't want that. You must live on. I'm a deadly sin who tried to lure you."

Seconds passed slowly as we exchanged desperate pleas through our eyes. They were expressed loud enough, impossible to crush.

"Which sin are you?"

"I'm the Sin of Lust."

"Then, if I let you have me," he breathed out, "will that make you stay with me?"
