Chosen Choice:
I. Go with him

Chances of Dialog:

"We're the following kings. Each of us will have a part to rule."

"It reminds me not to leave you."

=====

I gulp, staring at him. Hoseok is trying to breathe, but he can't even talk with how tight Namjoon is gripping him.

"Well?" Namjoon growls. "I'm giving you a choice." His grip tightens.

Hoseok's eyes are wider with fear than I have ever seen and I can feel his pain. It's heavy on my throat.

"D-do-n't!"

"Quiet." Namjoon growls at him. "I'll claw your heart out."

"No!" I panic, reaching out to clamp my hands around Namjoon's free arm. "I'll come with you..."

A dark sinful grin spreads across Namjoon's face, his grip slowly loosening on Hoseok's throat.

He takes a few large deep breaths, reaching for his neck which is now red with marks.

"Ja-Jaein..." He pants. "Don't do this!"

"Please Hobi... Don't interfere. I don't want anyone else to get hurt." I beg him, but he growls at his younger brother.

"You fucking selfish idiot!"

"Watch your words."

"No!" Hoseok growls. "You stay away from her!"

Namjoon scoffs. "You're a fool."

"Namjoon-"

"She decided," Namjoon growls angrily. "And so I will not hesitate to fulfill it."

Namjoon grabs my wrist tightly. He ignores Hoseok clawing at his clothes. With one flick of his arm, he slams Hoseok off him, pulling me away.

Tears run down Hoseok's cheeks as he holds his bleeding shoulder, his sad eyes looking right at me, his broken voice crying out my name.

And I can't help but think about how we left things off...

I refused his kiss... We never made up...

That thought alone brings tears to my eyes as Jungkook tiredly runs up to Namjoon, but he ignores him.

Taehyung isn't home... Seokjin is treating his bleeding chest and glares at Namjoon. "You will return her in a single day. If not, I will take matters into my own hands."

Namjoon lets out a laugh. "Within one day you won't recognize her anymore. She'll be better than you can ever imagine."

What is that supposed to mean?!

My heart pounds in my chest as he pulls me out of the house and I try to call out to Jimin, but he stares at me apologetically, stumbling around the room to fix his hurting leg.

I'm hopeless...

Who is this Namjoon?

"Where are we going?" I ask softly.

"The castle."

My eyes grow wide at his answer. "Castle?!"

He nods proudly. "The one that will be mine when the throne is passed on to us."

"But... What?" I'm too confused to think for a moment.

"So Seokjin never told you?" Namjoon scoffs. "We're the following kings. Each of us will have a part to rule."

Oh... wait what?

"I've been living with princes all this time?!"

"Pretty much."

Well... Now I just feel like an idiot. I look down at myself, afraid to look at Namjoon as he turns to me.

"You must be wondering why I'm taking you there."

I can only nod.

He chuckles at my non-existent reply. "Well, I need a heir and a queen. You are perfect to fill the role of my wife."

I look up at him in complete shock. Did I just hear it right?

"But I-"

"You're going to be perfect." Namjoon cuts me off. "I know you will."

"But I'm human." I try to reason, but Namjoon only scoffs.

"So? That doesn't mean I can't transform you into a demonette. It may take some time, but it'll all be worth the effort once it's ready and done."

At that my eyes grow wide, my heart is about to leave my body and I hope that what he just said was a nightmare.

He would give my human life away for his own happy ever after...

"But... why?"

"Because you've caught my eye." Namjoon chuckles. "And I'm not used to this... feeling. This emotion. I doubt it will ever come back, and it's very pleasant."

"But what if I don't want this?"

"You wanted my brothers. Why wouldn't you want me?" Namjoon growls.

I stay silent. I don't know... That first night when he protected me, I really thought he was the sweetest thing around.

If this is his Wrath, than how can I deal with it?

Namjoon's grip on my wrist loosens and he grabs my hand, intertwining our fingers much gentler than before.

"I know it may seem cruel." He mumbles. "But really... I've been held down like a bunny in a cage. I was used for shows. For years it was always: I can deal with his anger, or, I can calm him down with ease." He growls. "I've been an excuse for Jimin to get girls, for Seokjin to allow things out of his allowance, Jungkook to get free video games."

I turn to him. "And I know that must hurt. But think this through. Is this really how far you're willing to go?"

He's silent for a moment, his eyes gleaming with sadness before an angry scowl turns on his face.

"Yes. They've hurt me long enough. It's time to make them suffer."

"Than why take me?"

"Don't you know?" Namjoon smirks. "You are their free ticket to the Celestial Realm. Eventually they are going to give up your soul to return. You'll die. So be prideful to be my queen instead of roaming around in Limbo."

I stay quiet again. If I really am their ticket to that... Were they really going to use it? If so, why would they lie about it.

"Jaein, this isn't an excuse to be a king." Namjoon says again. "It's a reply to my brothers. A warning."

"What do you hope to reach with it?" I ask hopelessly.

"Respect... and a peaceful life."

"You can get that without doing this-"

"Earth is different from the Devildom. Showing dominance is the key. Showing power is your entrance. Without those, no one will even notice you exist." Namjoon sighs.

"Why is this so important to you?"

"I have thousands more years to live. I want a life that I can be proud of..." Namjoon sighs. "With you by my side... I can be everything, but mostly I'll just be happy. I'll be..." He sighs. "Really happy..."

I decide not to say anything, and the walk continues in silence through thorned woods and bushes, until the flickering of torches catches my faint attention.

"We're here." Namjoon says softly.

As he shoves the bushes out of my face, he allows me a full view of the massive castle, brick by brick perfectly built. The glasses are tainted in green, the color of his Wrath, with a few lonely banners here and there.

"It's huge..."

"Well. It is a castle after all. When I first came here with my father I got lost six times." Namjoon chuckles.

"I guess I will too..."

"I'll lead you." Namjoon smiles.

He seems a lot less... angry than before. That's a reassuring thing at least.

"I'd like to get this over with as soon as possible." Namjoon growls once he closes the castle doors behind us. "There is no one here and the process of turning to a demonette is extremely painful. It's best that we do it now while your body is still getting used to it here."

I stare up at him, than down at my hands. "What will become of me when I do agree...?"

"That's yours to decide. Some things go naturally, such as nails or fangs. Others go scientifically, like wings and tail."

"So I can decide what I look like?"

"Pretty much. Each set of horns has specific DNA, so we extract some of whatever kind you want and we throw it in the mix." Namjoon smiles.

His tail is swaying left and right, his hand squeezing my own.

"I really... really want this to go right... I've held back so long... It doesn't feel right to go back. You won't... leave me... right?"

What should I do?

===💚===

I. Agree to be his queen and transform
(Namjoon bonus route +[the Queen Route])

II. Refuse his every offer
(Namjoon hatred +)
(Namjoon friendship -)

III. Tell him you want to customize first and get around the castle first before being sure about the offers
(Namjoon Max. points)

Starting a Queen Route does not mean you can't go with the others. It just means that all the stats are maxed out and you'll be his queen, making his interactions more... sinful, if you know what I mean.

The third option, I will give you a set of images in the next chapter of which you can vote on the color, shape, and accessories/physical appearance of your demon form (if you're even going with that)

NOTE

If you make a pact with a demon, their stats will be reset to 50% affection and 50% friendship. Everything higher than that will be lost.

Be careful who you choose to pact with.

Suspicion and hatred will disappear fully at the pact.
