=====

I bite my lip, looking down at his lips. It's so tempting to just... place my lips on his own. To feel the soft skin against mine.

But I have to be strong. This is not a game of falling in love.

Jimin told me this feeling is part of the pact, he never said it was real. I don't think Hoseok realizes this.

I look up at him and already at the sad gleam in my eyes gives him a sad frown. I can see the hurt that's starting to tear up in tears and I feel bad for leaving him like this.

His grip on my hands tightens before he lets go, his hands clenching to fists to ease the tension.

"... Why not?" He then whispers in a broken voice. "Is it me? Did I do something wrong?"

His voice becomes higher, broken and cracks at the end, soft tears than streaming down his fragile cheeks.

I shake my head. "It's not that. It's not you at all. I just... this feeling, it's not real."

"It is!"

"No, Hoseok. It's the pact. Jimin explained it to me. Whatever you feel for me, what I feel for you... It's part of being in a pact. It's a feeling to draw closer. I don't want to make you feel or believe things that are fake."

"But what if I want it...?" He whimpers. "What if I'd rather have it fake? Even if my love for you is merely a joke, why does it hurt so much when you do this to me?" He grits his teeth, but I hear a held back sob coming from him.

"I'm sorry..."

He wipes his tears with a scowl, sniffling and looking away from me. "Fine..." He mumbles. "Fine..."

He turns away from me, the pain in my heart almost being too much.

Then he turns to me again. "If you're scared of the voice again... Don't come to me. Go back to my fucking brother. You like him so much? Than any didn't you make a fucking pact with him?!"

He grabs my waist, much too tightly.

"You don't know how painful this is to me." He growls. "I don't want to cry. I don't even want to feel this broken. But I am. I'm crying for you and you refuse me like that... I confessed to you. I threw my pride away for you and gave you my possession. I gave myself to you. And you ripped me apart... Threw me down like a vase."

His grip tightens.

"There's one way to break a pact." He growls deeply, his eyes burning into mine.

I'm starting to feel a bit scared honestly... The look he's giving me is nowhere near friendly.

"To kill your partner." He snarls.

In the blink of an eye, he's taken his demon form, his sharp nails digging into my skin.

His hands curl up to my throat, and all I can do is stand there, frozen in pain and guilt from my own choice.

"I'm sorry, Hoseok..."

"No you're not." He growls. "You're everything but sorry. Maybe I should have never opened up to you. You just wanted to break my heart!"

"I swear it's not that!"

"Than why did you do it?!" He screams. "Why did you hurt me so much." Thick tears stream down from his cheeks, heavy sobs and sniffles escaping his lips, now too loud to hold back. "Why...?"

Though he's hopelessly trying to hold back, he falls to his knees, releasing me from his grip.

I reach out to help him, but he smacks my hand away and abruptly stands up, running past me.

I can hear him crying... Did I make a mistake?

I feel tears streaming down from my own cheeks, guilt gnawing at my heart.

"Hoseok..." My cry for his name is far too soft, the word barely able to leave my lips before I feel sobs and sniffles bubbling up.

To my own pain and heart, I know he needs his space. I sigh, my breathing ragged and broken by sobs.

I go back inside, my head hung low.

"Hey! How did it- Jaein...?"

Jimin's happy voice is cut off in concern and he reaches out to touch me, but I avoid him. Just like everyone else.

"Jaein! Wanna play a game- ... What happened?"

"Are you feeling okay? You're all pale."

"Do you need something? You look sick."

"Jaein? What happened? Do you need me to bring you some fire noodles? Jaein?"

I ignore them all, going straight to my room, only to fall hopeless on my bed. I finally let go of the held back tears, crying my guilt stinging heart out.

I'm sure they can hear it, but I don't care.

Hey, hey... Calm down.

Whatever happened, it really got to you.

I merely nod at the voice, my head aching from crying.

How about you talk to me about it? I won't judge you. I'm in a cage after all.

"C-can you h-hear m-me?" I whimper softly, trying not to cry harder.

I do. Just calm down. Deep breaths. In, and out. Inhale, and exhale. Scream into the pillow, and talk to me. I'm here for you.

I take a few deep shaky breaths, but it doesn't work as Hoseok's hurt eyes and his broken voice keep my brain sharp.

"H-Hoseok asked f-for a k-kiss... B-but I refu-fused..."

And Hoseok became sad?

I nod.

Hoseok is sensitive, but you did the right thing. Giving false hope will hurt more than this. He'll get over it.

"R-really?"

He will. Now... Congratulations on your first pact. I don't know if it's appropriate right now, but... you know.

"I just w-wanna move o-on..."

Do you need me to call out the next pact?

I nod again. "I n-need Ho-Hobi off my m-mind..."

Alright then... How about Jungkook? With him you'll get to spend more time and focus on him instead of... y'know.

I nod.

Hey, human... Just call out for me whenever you need me. I'll always listen... As long as it's in the house.

"Are you... A-are you Yoongi?"

There's a bit of silence.

Dammit. I was hoping to play around a bit more.

"A-are you?"

Yes. I am. Hoseok must've told you a lot.

"H-he said you w-were on E-Earth."

The bastard Seokjin put me here.

"Why?"

I don't know...

There's a knock on the door.

I'll leave you be. Call my name whenever you need me, okay?

I merely nod, yelling a come in.

Seokjin slowly peeks his head in.

His concerned gaze turns sad when he sees me. He sighs deeply and sits next to me on the bed, silently opening his arms.

"It'll be okay." He says softly, and I allow myself to cry in his arms. Hard.

But he doesn't care. He just rubs my back, whispering sweet things into my ear.

"Go to sleep, you have a long day tomorrow and I want you to feel rested." Seokjin says softly. "Please, go to sleep. We'll talk about what happened another time, you aren't ready for it yet."

I nod, parting myself from him.

Seokjin gives me a friendly smile and pushes a lock of hair behind my ear, trailing his fingers to my cheek to rub his thumb over my skin and rub my tears away.

He stands up and leaves, giving me another smile before he shuts the door.

I change into my nightgown and decide to climb into bed.

I just... I'm scared... Nervous.
