The Eternal [Kim Seokjin AU]

Golden knife, 2

Seokjin was awaiting the family meeting, there he would bring up the newfound angel and find out about the rebels. 'Woman' was sleeping peacefully on Namjoon, his brothers, throne. He knew he wouldn't mind and it wouldn't bring out a scandal because everyone loved him so much. Even though Seokjin was the oldest sibling, they had all agreed on that Namjoon were to be the future king.

Seokjin side eyed her sleeping face. She was breathing calmly and Seokjin could still smell the prescense of blood from her scratched wings, luckily it had not caused the surrounding water to turn brown, Jennie had covered up her wounds like a proffesional and then got back to work.

"Who is she?" Jin mumbled to himself turning to look at her completely. Light brown hair, big angel wings and a white dress? She was definitely an angel, a fallen one. Everytime he remembers that it makes him feel off, no angels have fell in years.

She must be incredibly evil 

He bit himself, forcing him to not stare at the angel. Seokjin wondered how she would affect his kingdom. What if she isn't actually evil? What if she's helpful? Thoughts were spinning around and Seokjin could only hopelessly listen. Either way, he has to keep himself alive, he isn't foolish but she was so beautiful. She might be a succubus, that would make more sense, even though she hopefully hasn't gone through any evil ritual.

Namjoon was swimming around in stress over the bombing, they weren't swimming fast enough, Tae was complaining about everything and Seokjin wasn't even there. 

"How much time left, father? Can't we hurry?" Taehyung tugged at the kings arm impatiently only to get a smile from him.

"Taehyungie, we are there soon but we have to slow down so the guards don't get too tired." The father spoke lovingly but firm to the young and energetic boy. Namjoon barely listened to their conversation, he was too distraught with the rebels. They're speaking so calmly, do they not see the bigger picture? 

Namjoon was many things but he wasn't stupid, the rebels had obiously left a message. His father told him not to worry about it but in times of war worrying is something Namjoon should do. He was one of the biggest victims here because he was the future king of one of the most powerful kingdoms. The only true rival of the Leudome was Malistan, where the demons and evil beings lived. Then we have Cielden, the kingdom of angels and all things good, Leudome was neutralized and had a more mix of people. Every kingdom was in charge of something.

Cielden was in charge of protecting the Humankind, Leudome was supposed to keep them in their place and Malistan just did whatever they wanted. Malistan are strong in every way, that's why no one has conquered them. Society is just weird.

"You're spacing out Namjoon. Keep yourself together brother, we aren't safe."

"Indeed we are not." He mumbles in return before taking in the surroundings.

Seokjin woke up adruptly by the brownhaired female on top of him, a golden knife in front of his face. He freaked out and tried to yell for help before the woman covered his mouth with her hand.

"Scream for help and you're dead." She muttered in the most angelic kind of way, it almost made Seokjin's breath hitch. "Do you understand?"

Seokjin nodded his head and she let go of him, he sighed out in relief before saying,

"Who are you, stranger?" Seokjin spoke calmly, the angels eyes hardened slightly, as if that response was the worst she could have gotten.

"Where the hell am I? Where is Park?" she spoke with a light and beautiful accent, coming in more stronly now than earlier.

"You're in Leudome, the aquatic kingdom. You landed here after falling from your home." Seokjin said, trying to calm his attacker even just slightly. She mumbled something incoherent, possibly in another language, before she got off him but holding onto the knife.

"Sorry for that, I didn't know who you were or where I was, please forgive me" her eyes softened as she looked away, Seokjin felt like it would be impossible not to forgive her. He already felt a connection to this woman, it could possibly just be his imagination but he could currently not know the reason.

"I know the rumours about the Fallen, but I am not like that, sir. I only just fell, and I-" Mary said before stopping herself. "Sorry, I'm overwhelmed, It's not like I fall out of the sky on the daily, you know."

Seokjin smiles a bit at her, she felt like she was so lighthearted. No one had ever spoken to him which such carelessness before, well, she didn't know he was a prince but did she really need to know?

"I suppose you're going to give me to the correct authorities? I don't know what happens next." Mary mumbled the last part, she had lost her home, her friend, everything she cared about. She would never be able to go back there, Mary could feel her heart ache in agony because of it.

"The king and my brothers are going to discuss it with you soon, they'll be here shortly. I've told the servants to make food but do angels eat specific things?" Seokjin rambled making Mary giggle, he was so innocent to her.

"Oh, we eat everything. Shouldn't you know that?"

"No, Leudome is so isolated that we don't know much about the outside world, we only know what they let us know. Which is a problem."

Mary nodded as if she understoof completely, Seokjin knew she didn't. It was obvious she wasn't of royal class otherwise he would have known immediately plus a royal angel would never fall. Seokjin always had in the back of his head that the woman must've done some horrible sin to be in her current situation.

"Have you ever met Jung Hoseok?" Mary asked politely, he thought she would know he was a prince now and change her demeanor but she didn't. Perhaps she didn't care.

"Yes, I don't know him personally but I've met him during peace meetings." Seokjin explained before telling a servant to cook something angelic up. Mary smiled at his adorableness and the servant walked away with the order fresh in mind.

"I wonder what they're gonna make. Something angelic? Sounds interesting." Mary smiled to herself and looked up at Seokjin, their eyes met and Mary felt her heart hurt so she tore her eyes away, forcing upon herself to look at something far less interesting.

The great doors were opened and there stood the royal family, gazing on Mary and Seokjin.

"Jin hyung, who is this?" Namjoon asked the elder brother before looking at the woman and freezing to ice. He felt shivers all over his body as he looked over to his now tensed father.

"Brothers, father. I know it looks bad, but we definitely need to talk." Seokjin motioned for them to sit at the table, they followed suit hesitantly. Mary stood awkwardly on her spot until one of the servants pushed her into a chair.

"How did this happen, why is a fallen angel here?" Taehyung asked, glancing over at Mary a couple of times. Admiring her brown eyes a bit.

"So, a guard were on patrol today and saw a huge shadow covering the water. They contacted me to check it out. I then found her. She was hurt and unconscious so I let her in after healing some of her wounds. I think she might have Amnesia, she only remembered few things."

"Do you understand the weight of this? Not only do we have a war around the corner but an evil angel in our castle? What are you thinking, Jin?!" Namjoon scolded his brother before the king held up his hand for him to stop.

"Seokjin, keep her here. Let her stay in the guest room and teach her our ways." The king said calmly, making everyone else by that table shocked. "In my many years of ruling, I have never seen a fallen angel this calm. Normally they are very agressive. Plus if she doesn't know what's going on then she is helpless. Now, servants, show her to her room. We have important business to discuss. This can be postponed."
