Something (In Between)

1 • Endless

He had dark hair, gaze piercing and heavy. His lips were also a deeper shade of red, almost having hues of purple mixed with it. The God also had dark clothes, Jimin could barely make out the details because everything about him was too dark to actually see anything in general. Only the glaring sight of the necklace dangling on his neck was hard to miss, the key hanging by like it belonged there.

"Hasn't your mother warned you not to speak with strangers." the God tuts, his grin almost Cheshire-like.

"She has." Jimin manages to reply out loud, still in awe that he was speaking with someone else rather than his brother and mother.

He wasn't allowed to go to school, Suhyeon tells him he doesn't need it. That he should just stay home and fulfill his chores, as that's what he was good for.

"but you're not a stranger anymore." the blond explained bravely "you introduced yourself, God of the unseen."

"You're smart, angel." Jungkook chuckles out, leaning back on the grass with his shoulders. He sighs in bliss and tries to savor the fresh breeze and light of the land. "Your mother calls me Hades."

Jimin's eyes waver in fear, He had heard of Hades.

Only through warnings and terrifying stories, that of which how he tortures poor souls from the underworld and how he unkindly takes lives. He's heard of the three headed watch dog of hell, and that he lived every waking moment of his life enjoying the howls of pain from his victims.

"I wonder what she told you, for you to fear me that way." the God voiced out, the blond realizes that he had his gaze fixated on his expression.

"Run away, little rose." he muttered, letting his body fall fully on the grass.

Jimin wanted to, his body was screaming for him to yet he doesn't move an inch. His sub conscience telling him that it was alright, and that the God beside him would do nothing to hurt him because if he did he would have been gone and dead by now.

"Jungkook." he says, opening his eyes and staring at Jimin with an unexplained expression. "My real name, is Jungkook."

"It's a pretty name." Jimin whispered out, cautiously tilting his body to face the God.

"Is it?" Jungkook responds with a light chuckle. "That's quite a unique response."

"I'm Jimin." he says, tilting his head and finally meeting the latter's gaze. Jungkook smiles at him with his brows raising in amusement, Jimin realizes that the God already knew his name from the expression alone. "You knew that, though. It seems."

"I did." Hades confirmed, resuming to rest his head on the grass and closing his eyes. "Aren't you supposed to be in school, Angel?"

Jimin thinks he looks extra innocent like that, less intimidating.

"Mother didn't want me to go."

Jungkook snaps his eyes open, eyes flashing red. "She didn't?"

Jimin nods silently, picking on the grass below him shamefully. "She said I didn't need it, I could just work perfectly fine at home."

It's taking every ounce of willpower inside Jungkook to stop himself from cursing his own sister, He didn't respect her one bit but he did have respect for Jimin and that's enough for him not to do anything.

"Ask your brothers about your destined." the God says instead, sitting back up and stretching his sore limbs. "I must go, It was nice speaking with you."
