"I'm opening my eyes in the darkness
When my heartbeat sounds unfamiliar
I'm looking at you in the mirror
The fear ridden eyes, asking the question"
Your POV
"You take that side of the bed and I'll take this side." Jina placed the spare blanket on my side. I just nodded and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
"Just so you know, I don't trust you, even if the guys do." She placed the blanket on her side and sat down on the bed.
"What makes you think that they do trust me?" I questioned her.
'Trust' it was a foreign word to me but I feel like in know the feeling of being trusted but do I really?
"Are you questioning their trust?" She asked, offended at my question I guess.
"You even stated that I'm heartless so I'm afraid that I feel no thing called trust." I shrugged and looked around her room.
She had offered- wait, ordered and argued that I shared a room with her. Well, I had no problem since she's a female homo sapien.
"Whatever. Then just find the thing you're searching for and return to where you belong to." She scoffed and took her phone from the nightstand.
"And why do you hate deities and gods so much?" I questioned her. "Don't even lie to me. I can feel your aura towards me. It's just hatred and loathe that you feel towards me. I'm aware of that. Yet we just met some hours ago."
"None of your business." She scoffed again and pulled the blanket over her body.
"Isn't it too early for you to go to bed?"
"I repeat None. Of. Your. Business." She glared at me.
I found it really childish of her to lose her temper so easily.
"Well, I'm going to take a bath then." I stood from my seat and walked to the bathroom which was similar to the one which was in Jungkook's room.
"And you can use my clothes." Jina walked right behind me as I looked around the bathroom.
"Sure." I walked behind her as she opened her closet.
I looked through her closet but nah. Not my taste.
I got out of her room and walked some steps to enter Jungkook's room. Opening his closet, I took some of his clothes as I could hear Jina protesting behind me.
I gave her a fake smile and took the chunk of clothes in my arms before stepping into Jina's room.
Placing the clothes in her closet, I could hear her behind me.
"I told you that you can use mine. And Jungkook would be so angry to find that you took his clothes." I only shrugged at her.
I like it. I want it. I got it.
"Now. Now, let me shower peacefully, mortal." I took a black shirt and a black sweats. And as per Jina's order, I took some inner garments which were new, from her drawer.
"And stop calling everyone mortal or human." I could hear her screaming behind the doors.
I could tell that she was not the type to scream or talk more than a few words but I could make her speak for her lifetime for sure.
I stepped into the bathtub after stripping and closed my eyes.
What was I doing? I was here to find my necklace. But will I ever find it? Should I just decease?
Deceasing was a thing for Deities and Gods which was similar to death for human. It is when we willfully let our soul vanish and our existence is wiped out. Some gods are turned into stone/statue when they decease because they can't simply not exist since they contain so much power. But a deity like me, I'll just evaporate in the air and never be back.
I've seen some deities willfully killing themselves in hopes of getting rebirth as humans or gods. The latter was nearly impossible since Gods are mostly deities who got more power to raise their positions.
I must have fallen asleep in the bathtub because when I opened my eyes, it was clearly near to evening.
I looked at my fingers and frowned. They were clearly frowning back at me. The skin on the tip of my fingers had wrinkles??
I was confused because a deity's body, no matter what physical condition, fire or ice, would never be affected since they're heavenly being.
"Y/n! Aren't you done? It's been almost two hours since you're there inside." Jina spoke with some knocks on the door.
I was not willing to answer so I kept quiet.
Something was wrong. Definitely wrong.
"She's there?" I heard Jungkook's voice. He sounded worried.
Something was wrong, I could feel it. I zoned out thinking about worst possibilities.
My necklace being destroyed or captured by other deities who had the intentions to take it. Or something that I couldn't catch on.
I managed to not flinch when I felt a hand on my shoulder that brought me out of my thoughts.
"Aren't you coming out? I thought you fell or something." I turned to look at Jungkook and Jina was standing behind him,
"What were you even doing for this long?" I only looked at both of them, back and forth.
Something was wrong.
I shook, my thoughts away and rubbed my eyes.
"I was meditating." Jina rolled her eyes but she clearly couldn't hold back the smile in result of which she broke into fits of laughter.
"Sure you were. Change yourself and come out." He sighed and stood up. I stood up with him to which he screamed and turned around.
"Hey! Don't you know that nudity is not quite acceptable." Jina covered her eyes.
Then only I realized that I was naked. Using my powers, I quickly stepped out of the bathtub and slipped into the clothes in merely a second.
With an intention of teasing both of them, I walked towards them.
"Pardon me, where is it written that it's quite unacceptable?" I took a towel from the cabinet and walked to the door.
"Come on, you're not some small children to be shy like that." I chuckled and opened the door. Looking back, I saw them frozen in their spot with their hands over their eyes.
"Seriously. I'm well dressed right now. Appropriate for heavens and Earth." Finally they gave in and removed their hands.
"You shouldn't appear naked in front of random people." Jina walked past me and entered her room.
I raised a brow at her and followed her.
"And to remind you, I took my clothes back to my closet." Jungkook's voice of mischief sounded behind me.
I frowned and turned to look at him. "You didn't."
"I did."
"Well, I'll undo it."
"No, you won't."
"Watch me."
"You won't."
"I will."
"Don't you dare."
"Dare is my second name."
"I'm warning you."
"Keep warning, little boy."
"I'm not a little boy."
"Yeah yeah. Whatever."
"I said I-"
"Guys, stop it already! Gosh, so childish of you two." Jina sighed in exaggeration from her spot on the bed.
"What happened?" Taehyung's head poked through the door with a dog in his arms and Jina sighed agin but in relief.
"Please they act like Tom and Jerry." Jina flared her nose towards me.
"Tom and Jerry?" I repeated her words.
"Perfect." Taehyung clapped his hands still managing to hold the dog. "Let's watch Tom and Jerry." He signaled with his hands for me to follow.
I followed him gladly since the two in this room didn't like my presence clearly. And where did he get the dog from?

Author's POV
With Taehyung and Y/n sprawled on the couch watching the cartoon of the cat and the mouse, the guys and Jina were sitting on the dining room.
"I've tried to track her phone but it's not available. Her number doesn't exist in the tracking device. That's absurd." Namjoon sighed at his own words.
"Istg if I ever get a confirmation on whose doing this is, I'll kill that junk. Deity or god I don't care." Jimin roared and pressed his hands on his face in exhaustion.
"We'll find her, Jimin. We really will." Hoseok patted Jimin's back. He only nodded and fiddled with his fingers.
"So the only way for us to find for any clue now is Hanbin. With these technical searches, we're not going anywhere." Yoongi placed his laptop on the middle of the table and showed the information of the girl's whereabouts on the screen.
"Y/n's going to meet Hanbin right? What if she turns into his side?" Jina broke the silence while they were staring at the laptop blankly.
"Let's see what will happen. If that does happen, we have to find another way." Jungkook's words were directed to her but his eyes were on the screen.
He looked up across the room to see the deity laughing and playing with the dog.

"Are you sure the mouse, Jerry isn't the evil one here?" Y/n asked and waved her hands in front of the dog, Yeontan who was standing in her lap with eager eyes on her.
"Nope. It may seem evil with its actions but Tom is in fault here." Taehyung argued back. "See! It's always bothering Jerry. Why can't he just let Jerry have a piece of cheese? It won't hurt to let Jerry eat."
"But then why would Jerry put Tom's tail in the trap while it's peacefully sleeping? Jerry's evil for sure." Y/n argued back.
"Jerry isn't. It's just that..." he paused for the right use of words. "It's called defense and protection."
"Whatever. Defense, pfft. Sure." Y/n laughed and took the dog in her arms when it reluctantly went to her arms.
She frowned at the dog. Something was wrong with her.
"Huh?" She looked at Taehyung when she felt him nudging her.
"You were zoning out."
"I was just thinking." She dismissed the topic and started the topic of argument with Taehyung again.

Your POV
"What?" I froze on my position and stared at Hoseok and then back at my food. "It's chicken?"
Today I had joined them for dinner as per their request or order or both. I just dived into the food since they looks so mouth watering.
"Yes. That's why you shouldn't dive into food so instantly." Jina replied back instead of Hoseok. I just nodded my head because her opinion didn't matter.
I was frozen between spitting the food out or quietly swallowing them. I swallowed it with my eyes closed.
Why is that I didn't feel any sympathy for the poor hen?
"And if you're wondering Gods and Deities do eat non veg foods when they're in human world." Jin said with his mouth full of the noodle he was eating.
I just nodded my head in acknowledgment. Do they really?
Saffron did say that human's food were really delicious but I didn't hear to her details on those foods.
I just looked at another dish. It was made of cabbage.
"This isn't non veg, is it?" I showed the bowl to Jina who was sitting beside me. She nodded. "Yes. It is not." She went back to her food which contained of red and green vegetables.
Unlike the boys, she wasn't eating the chicken present on the table. Is she a vegetarian?
I shrugged and took the chopsticks in my hands just like Jina had taken.
Trying to pick a single piece, I groaned at ,myself. It seemed so easy when the boys and Jina were doing.
"Damn it." I whispered and took it with my hands.
"Hey. You can use spoon or fork." Jina commented beside me but I just smiled at her and shoved the food in my mouth.
The moment I chewed the food and my taste buds (which I didn't know but existed) got a taste of the food, I shut my eyes closed.
Swallowing it without chewing it, I inhaled a deep breath.
"Take this." Jina was handing me a glass of water and I gulped it down.
"That...." I exhaled and drew a huge breath. "That wass-" I took another gulp of water and fanned my tongue.
"Here, eat this." Jina was laughing while offering me a orange carrot.
I took it hesitantly. It's cold and neutral taste was somehow soothing.
"Remind me not to keep spicy foods around her." Jin also joined the laugh and I glared at him.
Some how, the boys ended up laughing, hearing his laugh and I tried to fight back the smile that made my lips twitch.
My tongue was burning like the burn in the morning but it was not too extreme.
"Why are we even laughing?" Namjoon who was sitting beside me slapped the table with his left hand and tried to control his laugh.
The rest of the hour, I spent looking at them as they were open enough to talk with me being in their circle and me being me, I ate the thing Jina was eating. It was called salad and I could say that I hate tomatoes with passion.
And not to forget the kimchi which set my tongue in fire.
It felt warm to be have a time like this. My stomach felt warm and my chest was filled with thankfulness. Living as human wasn't so bad as I thought.
They were far more better than us.
"Jina, are you happy right now?" I broke the silence in the dark room. The only light around us was the light from the outside which was for night security.
She was silent for some minutes that I began to wonder that she had fallen asleep.
"Happy... I don't know." She sighed. Even in the dark, I could imagine her frowning her forehead and glaring at nothing in particular.
Her habit that I noticed for the last three hours.
"We have so much going on right now. But with each other, all the worries seem to go away." She cleared her throat. "What about you? Are you happy? But I bet you aren't since you belong to heaven and not here."
"You sure talk a lot when you're with me." I laughed, staring at the ceiling.
"Yeah, I noticed that too." She breathed out.
"I guess hate makes you talk too much at times." I joked and got a groan in response.
"Hate is a strong word, y/n. I don't hate you." I waited for her to finish her sentence. She sighed again.
"I just don't want a deity to come back to their lives, you know." Her words caught my attention. I turned to look at her. In the dark, I could see her staring at the ceiling like me. Her aura gave off a feeling of sadness and longing for someone too.
"It's not my place to say anything about it. But I'm surprised that they're being normal around a being like you." She sighed again. What's with those multiple sighs?
"I understand." I whispered and looked back into the ceiling.
"Are you sure you didn't use your powers to know everything about us from our minds?" She asked and I shook my head in disbelief.
"I'm not that low, you know." I tried to ease the conversation with a laugh.
"You avoided my question. Are you happy?" This time when I turned my head to look at her, she was staring right back at me.
It was silent for some seconds before I opened my mouth to speak.
"I'm a deity, Jina. We're heartless, aren't we? We also have no emotions. So I don't even know what happiness really is." We only started at each other before I smiled at her.
"Go to sleep, I'll be back." With those words, I disappeared and teleported right in front of the house.
Walking near the fountain, I sat on the edge and looked at my reflection with the moonlight falling on the surface of the water.
I couldn't get Jina's words out of my head.
Sure we, Deities and Gods do smile and laugh. But those aren't from our hearts which we don't even have in the first place.
We're hollow. And in this short time on the earth, I thought of something.
Humans are superior than us in the case of their love and care for each other to which gods and deities could never relate.
All this time, I saw it. I saw the love and care when Jimin and Taehyung teased Jungkook with everything possible. I saw the scolding which was dipped with care when Jin yelled his younger ones to keep quite while eating but ended up laughing himself. I saw the feeling of being cared in Jina when the boys would ask her about her recent trip to some part of the world.
They had a strong bound which didn't require me any power to notice.
(That or they might be good at bewitching someone but I doubt that.)
But Gods and Deities do feel one thing. Greed
And right now, I had a greed to feel those things.
