Jin POV

I heard screaming. It sounded like Jungkook. I went closer to that mystery door and peeked through the little hole. There I saw Jungkook screaming like a maniac and SooMi sitting in a chair, crying. 

I was glad I wasn't the only one in this creepy situation but I was still scared. A few minutes after I woke up, I heard a little girl's cry. It was awfully familiar. I heard a woman's voice calling out for help, she seemed to be in so much pain. I got a little creeped out as the voices were familiar

A few seconds of roaming around in this large room, I stumbled across a glass door. I looked to the other side and saw a forest fire. I widened my eyes as this scene looked very familiar. Too familiar... I felt light headed and fainted

I woke up in a forest. I stood up and noticed everything around me looked so big. I tried grabbing my knees for support but then noticed my hands were so small. Wait, could it be?

I glanced around the forest and looked for a pond. There it  is! 

I looked at my reflection and found out I was back to being a...... CHILD?!

I turned around to see a man behind a tree holding a lighter. He grinned at me mischievously before lighting a piece of paper on fire and throwing it to a random spot and running away. I widened my eyes as I remembered this scene happening before

"All those souls you didn't save, wouldn't you be guilty?" 

I looked in front of me and flinched a little when I saw a black hooded figure not that far from me. My breathing hitched as the words struck me

"I was just a child before" I said as calm as I can

"That's no excuse, you were 9 years old, you could already think maturely. You could've saved those souls but instead you ran away and left everyone behind"What he said was true. I could already think maturely but I still didn't save them.

The hooded figure smirked as he noticed that his plans were working. 

I let a tear drop fall as I remembered all the screams that continued to haunt me throughout my childhood.

"They all had families to take care of, a person who cared for them. But you decided to be selfish and let them suffer without their loved ones" I felt my knees getting weak as multiple voices came clashing through my mind

help us please!

Jin, why did you leave us there?

At last, I fell to my knees

Why didn't you help us?

We're suffering here...

"I'm sorry"

We had to leave our families just because you didn't help us get out..

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!

You should've been the one that died. Not us!

That's true. I should've been the one who died

I believe in you Jin, don't fall for it

A familiar voice stuck out to me best

It's not your fault we died. You were young back then, you didn't know what to do

Oppa! Don't fall for their  tricks! Remember me and eomma are here for ya!

Keep it up for us!

"Eomma, dongsaeng. I will fight for you!"Surprised by my sudden outburst, the hooded figure which I figured out was a devil widened his eyes and stared at me with his jaw hung open

My eyes changed into red and my hands turned to claws as the memory of the people dying played throughout my mind

"You were the one who started the fire right?" I said in a very deep voice I never knew I had.

"H-how did you know?" He looked shocked

"just a guess, but since your reaction is like that, it must be true then?" I said. I charged to him full force and he just stood there dumbfounded.

My hands went straight for a punch which I successfully delivered.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY YOU KILLED?" i screamed. Letting anger take over me

"107! 107 INNOCENT PEOPLE YOU KILLED!" I released another punch and he finally stumbled and fell to the ground

"ONE OF THEM IS MY FAMILY!" I yelled as a teardrop fell from my eyes

"YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD ME AND FATHER WENT THROUGH WITHOUT THEM!" i threw another punch

"WHAT MORE FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO DIE-" I was cut off by him

"OK YES I'M THE ONE AT FAULT! I'M THE DEVIL! I'M THE ONE WHO IS DESPISED. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST KILL ME NOW?!" I looked into his eyes and saw brokenness, sadness and guiltiness. I stopped punching him but it was too late.

He coughed up blood and looked at me faintly

"Thank you for killing me. I can live at peace now. You may have thought I was a demon, but your wrong. I'm still a human being. Thank you for ending my suffering..." He said as he turned into dust.

I looked at the pile of dust and noticed a key. I took it and the scenery instantly changed back to the large dark room. I looked at myself and noticed I was back to being an adult. I walked to the mystery door and opened it with the key. I went inside and saw Jungkook looking at me with puffy eyes

"Hyung.." He whispered softly

"You  made it.." He said as a small smile formed on his lips. He looked tired. I was about to ask him why but was cut off by screaming. I looked in the middle of the room and saw SooMi sitting in a  chair watching some kind of screen. The screen showed me being punched to death

I tried running to her  but was thrown back by some force.

I realized there was a shield around her and started banging at it. I looked at her face and saw a scar was forming each time I tried banging on the shield and I immediately stopped

I looked around the room for some help but only saw Jungkook with the most determined look ever

"Let's wait for the others and cast that spell.." I widened my eyes as I came to realize what spell he was talking about

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! WE MIGHT DI-" I was cut off by the next scene the screen showed
