Foreword

Hello everyone! I definitely have enough stories that I need to finish, but when Kathys asked me to be a part of 7 sins collaboration to celebrate BTS's fourth anniversary a few months ago, I just could not say no, because it seemed like so much fun.  The seven of us were paired with a sin and BTS member to write a story.    This is my first time doing a collaboration so I'm very excited to work with other authors, to create something together!  I hope you guys enjoy the story.  I struggled to finish the entire story by the deadline but hopefully you will see the remainder of the chapters shortly ^^  Please also do check out the other stories within the collaboration, 7 sins.

Chapter 3: I love it!!! It was so intense and full of twists! I didn't think that Jihyun would stab Jimin so suddenly but when we got to know that the knife he used contained their memories it made more sense. After all, both Jihyun and Seulgi want to get the old Jimin back but will they really get him back? What if their plan won't work and Jimin will be Sloth forever?
I'm curious where this story is going. I can't wait to read more. <33

Chapter 3: Wow it's been a while but I'm really glad you are back with this story too! I was really interesting to how this will turn out since Seulgi betrayed Jimin and now Jihyun has the upper hand in this situation. But of course Jimin is still a powerful demon and I think he will somehow escape or take revenge? Even though it would be absolutely interesting to see if it's possible to get the human out of him after such a long time. So I'm anticipating the next chapter and what happens in it ^^

Chapter 3: Hey Darling,
I am so happy that you updated this story because I am really curious about this whole thing - for example whether they will save Jimin's soul by killing him for real or they'll purify the demon giving Jimin a chance to live a normal life. Well, the second option would be so lovely although I really don't think that they could bring him back to life. He is demon for a reason... he is dead. Or not? I mean I really don't remember every single detail but he has to be dead, right? Haha, anyway.. I'm looking forward to the next part. I'm dying to know more and more *o*
Have a nice day xx

Chapter 2: WHOAA okay. Things are getting exciting now. I'm sorry I underestimated you, Jihyun. Jimin, or rather Sloth, got into me. ; u ;
I thought Taemin was the traitor at first actually. Even though Seulgi generally appeared pissed off at Jimin, I didn't think she would do it. Her betrayal is shocking, but at the same time, it makes sense. The concept of Park Jimin (then) vs Park Jimin (taken by Sloth) is intriguing though, and in fact, it's a very realistic echo of the world. How many times have we been taken in by the temptation of various sins (greed, sloth etc) and allow them to corrupt our souls? Many times, I believe, although with varying degrees from person to person. And I think that's probably why criminals have been committing crimes, or why certain people just repeat the same vicious cycle over again. They allow themselves to fall into the traps that the sins have laid out, and they allow themselves to continue indulging in them. I wonder if Seulgi and Jihyun will be able to purge Jimin out of Sloth, but I have a feeling it'll be very difficult. It can only succeed if Jimin himself desires to get away from Sloth desperately. But it also depends how 'deep' Sloth is in Jimin now. Are there traces of Jimin still left inside that body? Or is it all Sloth? Hmm, I wonder...

That being said, I love the wittiness of Sloth... He has that very villainish feel to him lol. I actually kinda want Seulgi and Jihyun to fail because I'm a er for villains. //shot. I do feel for Seulgi and Jihyun though. Imagine seeing your loved one wasting away day by day... It's a painful ordeal that happens in real life too. But anyways, their dilemmas are expressed very well, which is a great feat considering it's 3rd POV limited in Jimin's POV (I like that eavesdropping part lolol). Kudos to you for that! :)

Chapter 1: First of all, SEULMINNNN <3 Lol, I'm not much of a Seulmin shipper but I've been getting into them lately, so I'm happy to see a Seulmin fic (with one of my favourite concepts, nonetheless!) LOL @ Seulgi's entrance with... a funeral outfit, and Taemin's later entrance with an equally funeral-like outfit. Meanwhile, Jimin just simply doesn't care about anything. The way Sloth is described is so mindblowingly accurate though. In fact, I think I have some sloth in me... Sometimes I just want to be immersed in my own little world and ignore the rest. It's easy to take the easy way out, so I really don't blame Jimin. In fact, I feel for him (and he's such a badass main character in the laziest way possible-
he cracks me up xDD). Also, Seulmin's battering is just adorable, Seulgi being the person who cares too much and Jimin being the person who doesn't care about anything (except maybe games). Feels like Seulgi is very protective of Jimin even though she seems done with him xP
LOLOL @ Jimin's blunt words: "You guys are useless." Damn, it must be fun knocking down your enemy with just one blow. How to be like Jimin. "Your guilt is your punishment." Omg, Jimin has such quoteworthy lines ;; Seriously, you've done a good job with Jimin's character. The witty dialogue is just a bonus.

Chapter 2: I must agree with the comment below, Jihyun is really a badass character. Truth to be told, I didn't quite like him in the earlier chapter but now I might even cheer for him. I mean, in his shoes, I'd probably want to save my real sibling. I really liked the conversation between him and Seulgi, so that we could see both of their sides of this story and it was interesting as we could put together the pieces just like Jimin did and we got to know that Seulgi loved him, or at least who he was. Oh and I liked that when Seulgi told Jihyun that he scard her too. It was really realistic and I like how badass Sloth is but still the same, like getting pissed off is a waste of energy and such things! It's an interesting approach and I found the twist so unique! I'm excited for what's next: could they save him or not? ^^

Chapter 2: Darling,
Wow, so much action in a story of Sloth himself. I love it oh so much! You made an absolutely brilliant job with this Sin. I like yhen you describe Jimin's feelings. When you wote lines like this: "Jimin was pissed off which he hated to be, since it was such a waste of energy." Amazing! Oh, and his relationships with Seulgi and the hunter. I cannot what until you upload the next chapter. I hope they wont't kill him. It would be nice if the story had a happy ending (well, the owl tells the sparrow - is it a phrase in English, too? I'm not sure). All in all, this story is amazing, I'm in love with reposts like How very smart of you and I can't wait to read more. ^^
Have a nice day xx
