Chapter seventeen
~Y/N POV~
I thought today was a good enough day to swim.
I mean being told earlier that there will be a guest coming tomorrow which will be Minseok, I also instructed to stay in my room because apparently it's unclear as to why Minseok is visiting to them anyway, I know why but I'm not going to go talking to everyone about it.
So because of the nice day I wanted to swim but as the rules apply I had to be with someone when I am outside in the garden. That would be Jin.
He actually offered to take me in to the garden when he seen me basically lusting over the idea of the garden when I only stared out the window in the living room, the swimming pool calling my name at that time.
Now here I am swimming lengths in the pool while Jin sits by the side of the pool watching me or on his phone while he allows his feet to cool off in the warm water due to the heat of the sun on this sunny day.
Although we haven't spoken to one another since I started swimming in this pool and Jin was doing whatever it was on his phone. I kept stealing quick glances towards him and it bothered me in some way that he didn't look well. I mean he looked sick. His skin was pale and he had dark circles under his eyes just like the rest of them and as strange as it is, it worries me.
I haven't heard Minseok in my head since lunch so I assume he's doing some quick work or whatever before he shows up tomorrow and creates a plan to get me out of here but because he's not in my mind right now I cant help but think more to myself about feeling sorry for Jin. Just with the way he looked sick made me feel bad for him.
So not being able to hold my tongue when the same question kept spinning in my mind, I came to a stop after swimming one more length just to stand up on my feet where the water came up to my hips in depth and walked over to him. I was determined to get some soft of answer from him.
Jin in not only sensing my presence coming closer but also to hear the light splashes of water around my legs become louder towards him did he look up, raising a brow and setting his phone to the side of him.
"What's wrong?" Jin
I shook my head now coming to sit beside him in the edge after pulling my body up from the water.
"Nothings wrong I just wanted to ask you something."
"What is it then?" Jin
Our eyes met and I just kept gazing into his dark eyes that were loosing their life inside them, it was obvious and yet chilling to see.
"Why do you all look sick lately? As far as I know you're all taking souls so what's up with that?"
Together we just stared at one another, I wasn't going to look away if that's what he was hoping I wanted answers. I don't know how long we stayed like that until Jin finally broke it to look away to the opposite side of the garden exhaling a deep breath.
"We have been taking souls, just not in the way we're suppose to." Jin
"What does that mean?"
Jin turned his head more in my direction but not directly to face me and his dull eyes to linger around the reflecting surface of the pools water.
"It means that we use other ways to take souls then to directly have sex with our prey. It doesn't satisfy us in much way but it takes enough souls to keep Sungmin off our backs." Jin
"What other ways?"
I was curious about this and yet pleaded with my eyes which he didn't see to ask him to tell me what that meant. To be honest to me at this point I didn't care how they did it, I'm over in because I know that soon I'll be out this place I call hell and can move on with my life.
"I mean it's still sexual of course but not the full on intercourse itself. Like oral. Sungmin would only come back if we didn't do something sexual with our victims." Jin
"So the best bet to keep Sungmin away and not have full on sex anymore would be oral?"
Jin only nods and finally meets my eyes once again.
"Yes. We cant risk having him come back here and take you away from us. That's what he said he would do, take you away from us and we would never see you again if we didn't go back to the way things use to be before we found you. It was a risk none of us were willing to take so we did what we had to, to keep you even if we didn't like it." Jin
"But how did this Sungmin know you weren't having sex with these girls?"
I know Yoongi explained somethings to me but I wanted to dig deeper and knowing Jin he would tell me if I asked him to especially now that I purposely touched his upper thigh to get a reaction from him but not in a sexual way. It was more like transferring energy between us, from me to him and by the second you can see by the way he straightened his back and his skin slowly coming back to colour that it was working.
"Someone told him. We think it was one of our followers and we've been digging around for months to find out but at the same time we cant risk loosing too much of them. They help us a big deal in making hell bound deals with the innocent and taking their souls. In return we give them the riches they desire." Jin
I hummed and gently patted Jin's thigh before removing my hand.
"Thank you for telling me all this Jin. I appreciate it."
Then without thinking much of it I leaned in closer to him and pecked his cheek before jumping back into the water to swim a little bit longer before I would have to go back inside. Jin didn't say anything back but I felt his eyes on me when I began to swim more lengths up and down the pool from one side to the other.
Maybe I kissed him on the cheek because in someway it was like a private good bye on my part. I know that very soon or possibly tomorrow I could be out of this place and I wouldn't have another chance like that again.
Freedom of this place cant come soon enough but why do I feel like I'll miss them at the same time?
