Chosen Choice:
II. Take Namjoon

Chances of Dialog:

"You like him!"

"SHOW ME!"

=====

My heart pounds in my chest as the three demons in front of me are glaring daggers at each other. Namjoon's grip on my hand has protectively tightened and Jungkook is growling like a wolf would at his prey.

Taehyung is quietly staring at me, his stomach growling in hunger. He sighs. "I see that I won't stand a chance. I'll just go by myself."

I reach my hand out to him but before I can say anything, he's gone...

Jungkook rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. "Well? Who's it gonna be?" He asks, almost impatient.

Namjoon turns back to me, his lips forming a soft pout.

I gulp. Honestly I want Jungkook to like me... I really do! But I just don't know him well, and... he did attack me. I'm still scared of the voice and Namjoon has dealt with it before.

Currently... Namjoon is who I can turn to.

My grip on Namjoon's hand tightens and I look up at him.

Namjoon gives a smile, as if he's relieved. "Thank you..." He whispers, almost relieved.

Jungkook's eyes shift between us, a frown growing on his face and he lets out a deep growl. "Okay. I get it. You have something with hyung, don't you?" He snarls.

Namjoon tilts his head.

"You like him!" Jungkook sneers. "Did you have sex when you went to his room last night?! What does he do to make you like him?!"

"Woah! Kook, we didn't do anything!" Namjoon yells. "I just took her in and protected her!"

"Just like you did with Lillith and look where she ended up!" Jungkook growls. "That's right! She's-"

"Jungkook!" Namjoon growls deeply. "We promised not to talk about that anymore. We swore!"

"And look who repeats history." Jungkook mutters. He gets up and stomps upstairs.

This is exactly what I was afraid of...

Taehyung feels left out, Jungkook is suspicious of us and Namjoon is refusing to repeat history about someone named Lillith...

Does that mean this happened before?

Namjoon sighs deeply. "I'm sorry you had to hear that. We... We're all trying to make a good impression and I guess Taehyung feels the need to be with you. And Jungkook wants to fix his bond."

"Than who is Lillith?" I ask.

"No one you should know." Namjoon mutters. "Come on. I'll put on my uniform and we can go."

I nod slowly and let go of Namjoon's hand, he hesitates before he goes up the stairs.

The moment he's gone, my eyes grow wide as the same husky voice from yesterday night fills my head.

Why didn't you come?

Do you want me to die?

You're a useless human.

Do you really think Namjoon will save you?

You'll end up just like the others.

I shake my head violently and try to block out the voice. Whoever or whatever may lead me there, I will not give in so easily.

You're a strong human, Mortal. But your will is going to break.

Either by me, or him.

And with that, the voice disappears, leaving me alone with the fearsome thought of the demons.

Who is this person? Is it even a demon? Why is it talking to me? Why has it targeted on me?

Namjoon quickly comes down the stairs, fixing his cute yellow-greenish bowtie. I realized all of them have a different accessory to dress formal to school with.

Well... mostly formal.

Hoseok, who just left in a completely hurry, had his uniform untied and a yellow tie loosely around his neck, counting his... Devil bills?

"Hey, Joonie? What do you pay with here?" I ask curiously as Namjoon quickly takes my hand.

"Why?" Namjoon asks with a smile. "Do you want to buy something? I can buy it for you."

"No, I just want to know what Hoseok is so obsessed about." I giggle.

Namjoon rubs the back of his neck. "Well, we pay in Grimm. And Hoseok is Greed. He just likes having things. Ever since he realized that he can't have everything, he just focussed on money."

Now his obsession for his wallet makes a little more sense.

"And you?"

"Me?"

"Why are you Wrath?"

Namjoon frowns. "This is not a conversation I was hoping to have." He mumbles. "I was actually hoping to talk about you."

"But... shouldn't I be learning about the Devildom?"

"And I should be learning about Earth."

We share a gaze as we walk to the school, when Namjoon starts chuckling.

"You know... There is something about you... Something that I respect and yet it's something that I fear." He says. "You're very kind and respectful. You accept all of us in your heart and we... most of us, accept all of you. I feel comfortable with you around me."

I don't know if it is a good sign, but I'll take it like that.

"I'm glad you feel that way."

"I'm not sure if you should." Namjoon mumbles. "We have our possessions. As you said, Wrath is mine. I'm not proud of it, but it is who I am."

I nod.

"And my possession is a lot worse than the others... I really understand your curiosity. I do. But you should hold back. You aren't here to learn about us, you're here to learn about the Devildom."

To my disappointment, I know he's right. I want to know everything about the Devildom, but I'm just so curious about them.

"And it pains me, but Jaein, you have to learn something."

"And I am." I urge. "I will. I want to learn and I am going to work as hard as I can this upcoming year. But I beg you to allow me to get to know you. You and your possession."

"But what you'll see isn't pretty." Namjoon mutters. "I'm... greedy. Once I become my true form everything I built will fall."

"And why do you think that?"

"Because there is no boarder." Namjoon growls at me. "When I start I won't stop. It's bloodlust. Pure anger for war."

"And that's okay-"

"No! No it isn't! I will try to hook you in! I will try to make a war! When I do end up doing it... You'll wish you never met me. I've seen it happen... I'm not watching it evolve..."

I don't want to make him regret everything. I like him too much to do that.

We enter the school with a loud entrance and I immediately feel a heavy weight land on top of me.

"Jaein!"

"Yeosaaaaang! You're killing me!" I whine.

My friend quickly pulls me back up from the floor and embraces me in a hug.

"You promised to call!"

"I'm sorry! I was so busy!"

"No excuses!" Yeosang pouts. "Angels are at least... not as bad." He mumbles. "Kinda nice..."

"Is someone having a crush?" I tease.

"N-no!"

Namjoon chuckles, smiling at our blossoming friendship. He waves me goodbye with a sad smile and walks away. Yeosang notices his angels urging him to come with and he also says goodbye.

And that's when I realize... I have no idea where to go.

"Hey! Jaein! You just so don't happen to got any Grimm on you?"

Thankfully Hoseok's voice rings through my ears.
