Something (In Between)

"Fool!" Demeter sneered unkindly, huffing in disbelief and folding her arms. "You can never have a destined because you're a God!"

"You're the fool, The oracle has already spoken of my destined." Jungkook replied, snarling back at her. "Bear my brother's their children, I do not heed any mind. But you will not fucking bear mine."

"Enough of that!" Hera snapped out, grabbing Demeter by the wrist and pulling her away. The Goddess struggles against her grip and reached to claw out Jungkook from where she stood.

"I'll have you!" she screamed in anger, "Mark my words you will be mine!"

"Mark whatever you want, Goddess." Hades scowled out, turning his head to face his brothers.

"Zeus. Poseidon." He called out, yawning in boredom. They both move their attention to him and stop their quarrel, urging the God to continue. "Have you decided how we'll overthrow Kronos?"

"I have a few ideas." Zeus shrugged out, sitting properly and facing Hades to formulate their plan.

"Better hurry up, lightning bird." Poseidon scoffed out, dodging the punch Zeus sends him. "The prophecy already tells the world we'll be consumed by our own father and you'll be the only one to save us."

Jungkook sighs, closing his eyes and tilting his head back. "Just overthrow him." Hades worded out tiredly.

"Do you have access to the underworld yet?" Zeus asked the God, Jungkook raises his head and shakes it.

"Not yet, imbecile." Hades replied petulantly, crossing his arms and biting back a smile from the glare his brother sends him. "We have no control over our own domains until you've overthrown Kronos."

"Well then." Zeus sighed, wiping his palms on the table cloth. "I'll be heading to the dungeons of the underground for help."

"And us?" Poseidon asked expectantly.

"We get eaten." Jungkook replied with a shrug as the God of the Sea looks at him with disappointment painted on his face.

"Very mature, Hades."

"Better than being an imbecile."

Jungkook doesn't have a vivid memory of the day that came where their father quite literally consumed them. Kronos was too big to even fight and the prophecy had already been appointed so Hades just allowed that day to happen.

The following day he wakes up in a castle in the underworld, with two males hovering over him with a worried gaze the other with his arms folded and another fussing over his wounds.

He would understand he had cuts and bruises because being in the belly of a titan isn't exactly the best experience ever.

"Hello, My Lord." the blond, muttered. "You're Hades, correct?"

"Yes." Jungkook croaked out, wincing in pain as he tried to move.

"Caution please." The latter beside him scolded, straightening the white cloth framing his ribcage. "You are still healing, My Lord."

"Am I dead yet?"

"Non sense." the person beside him snickered out, waving at him softly. "You're in the underworld."

Jungkook's eyes widen at the info, unable to fully comprehend anything yet as three Doberman's jump on his bed to attack him with licks on the face.

"That's Cerberus." the blond explained, smiling when Jungkook does. "He's the guardian of the entrance of the Underworld. I am Kim Seokjin, caretaker of Asphodel."
