After the encounter with Jimin (Y/N) hurried inside the bedroom she shared with Taehyung. She only sat beside him to wait until he awoke from his peaceful slumber. Silently looking at his features as puffs of air exhale from his nose; (Y/N) felt herself becoming angry at Jimin's manipulative behavior. (Y/N) felt it was unfair that she had to send Taehyung away just because of the demon's ridiculous jealousy. She was the one who pulled Taehyung from the sea. She was the one who tended to the small wounds he had on his slender body. She was the one who provided him a warm place to sleep and delicious food to eat so he would never grow hungry.

(Y/N) curled her hand up in a tight fist, clenching the bedsheets that were draped over Taehyung out of frustration.

Jimin's words were swimming through her ears again.

"Do not get too attached to him, (Y/N)," Jimin called out. "He is merely a fragile being with the illest of wills. Be careful who you let into your soul, your spirit..a mindless, emotionally, selfish creature like him could shatter it. Greatly."

What could Taehyung possibly ever do to her? What in the world, the universe, the galaxy, would his  monetary gain be from her? She is a goddess, yes but she has no riches to offer him. She could offer Taehyung eternal life, yes but only if he stays with her on the island. Taehyung has given himself away to her many times; ruined each other so much so that no one will ever want them again unless it is each other. Why would he do so before marriage? That in itself is sin.

The only thing Taehyung has gained by being with (Y/N) is sins to his spiritual record, nothing more.

(Y/N)'s mind dated back to when she had touched Taehyung when he was sleeping, with his guard being down and his trust with her allowed (Y/N) to sneak a peek into his mind. 

Those children..ah, how could she ever forget that infant's large, bright milky and gold tinted eyes peered up at her? Those six children that had biological ties to her and Taehyung forever..she wanted it, he wanted it. But she could never experience that beautiful future with the mortal she loves because of..

Suddenly a gentle breath behind her neck made her shiver.

"J-Jimin.."

"You think too much dear," Jimin sighed as he shook his head in disappointment. "It's not good to dwell on unrealistic ideologies as such, sweet doll. Seeing into such a slugs mind has poisoned your brain, now it seems you do not possess the slightest bit of common sense-"

"Do not insult me in such a way," She said flatly. "You gluttonous sinner."

"I am just simply stating observation." Jimin shrugged, suddenly appearing to be sitting criss-cross in front of the pretty goddess. Dark purple plum shaded, glittering thick clouds swirl and curl upward into the air. (Y/N) quickly shuts her clear eyes, facing down and turning her head to avoid any glimpse of the handsome demon. "Look at me doll face, you're hurting my heart."

(Y/N) couldn't help but giggle a bit at his remark. "You do not have a heart."

"Still," He smirked. "Look at me."

"No. I thought I told you to leave my eyes, and that I never wanted to see you again!"

"Correct darling you did say that, but.." Jimin's head lulls to the side as his glowing eyes stare down at (Y/N)'s closed ones as his tongue runs across his plump lips. "You and I both know that you didn't mean any of that. Besides..!" Jimin leans in a bit closer, his index finger gently grazing the surface of (Y/N)'s smooth (s/c) skin. "I just couldn't bear the separation between the two of us any longer."

(Y/N)'s eyes shoot open at the feeling of the rough object touching her. Her clear eyes gaze upon the rigid, chestnut tinted bone that stabbed through Jimin's decomposing flesh on his once smooth hand. The skinny bone had thin strings of what looked like dried, rotting muscles and cedar tendons connected to it along with the rest of his decomposing hand. (Y/N) cranes her head up to look at Jimin, and gasped. Jimin's once flawless face was beginning to crack, not to mention that a very large and noticeable hole was beginning to form on his right cheek. His cheek was almost in the same condition as his hand, but it looked like this tan-ish skin was trying to desperately stay together, holding on. It was like something had scorched his once delicate cheek and now has melted his skin. His eyes were losing their 'human' look and were gradually fading back into the blackest of pits. "You have not been eating well." She noted.

Jimin's dark eyebrows furrow as a sigh escaped his plump lips, his eyes looking down in innocence. "Ah, yes dear you can see..I'm starving. I have no access to food now so I was wondering if you could," Jimin's decomposing hand lifted up slightly to cup the side of (Y/N)'s face, his thumb brushed over her bottom lip softly as his eyes followed and gazed at her pearly teeth as well. "If you could be a doll and help me out?"

(Y/N) scoffed before slapping Jimin's hand away, in which his face silently transitioned into pure amusement. "No."

"Why not? You've always helped me before, is it because of that mortal?" Jimin asked, his eyes narrowing as he briefly glanced at the sleeping Taehyung close by. "Ha~ anyways, feeding and simply missing your pretty face is not the only reason why I have came."

"What more do you want?"

"Just to let you know that if you dare give existence to those souls of monstrous, mixed bred off springs, I myself will purge the universe of those..disgusting creatures," Jimin sneered, a deep crimson blazing in his large eyes. "Their grotesque bodies will be destroyed to the fine sand of your ocean floors, but their souls will forever roam as the sin-filled demons that they are. The mermaids shall weep no more."

He was referring to those six children in Taehyung's vision. That's right, Jimin could see what she was thinking about, he did say that she thought to much after all. Ah, the silent torment Jimin's words put on the thought of her future children hurt her deeply.

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, but promising."

"You already have my word, Jimin.." (Y/N) trailed off, not wanting to continue the conversation any more. "Enough with the threats and negativity already, please."

"I am just-"

"Please leave so I can get this over with already," She whispers. "I hope you're happy, for what you have done to me."

"I'll see you later then."

"No!" She groaned. "Just-!" Before she could finish, Jimin had already disappeared into the fine, dark purple clouds he came from.

(Y/N) sniffed a bit, rubbing her eyes at the strange stinging sensation around them. She looked down at her lover and purposely put on an annoyed front. (Y/N) then harshly poked and nudged at Taehyung's shoulder and arm to wake him up. It took a while, but it eventually worked. Taehyung's brown eyes peel open slowly as he looked at (Y/N) in utter confusion. "Neugmm.." He mumbled softly as he closed his eyes again and took a deep breath while he stretched out his long legs. "What's wrong darling?"

"Go home to your family, you must."

"Why?"

"Go!" Her breath hitched and sounded airy as she frustratingly ripped the warm bedsheets away from Taehyung's body. "Swim home! I do not care, I just want you out of my sight!"

Her words contradict with her face. Taehyung quickly sits up and comes to comfort his lover that was in such a state. This new foreign feeling she had..something warm was dripping out of her white eyes and running down her cheeks. felt like it was threatening to close and she didn't know what to do.

She was experiencing sadness for the first time and she was not sure how to appropriately handle such a strong humanly emotion as such.

"Why are you still here?" (Y/N) yelled as her bottom lip quivered and her white eyes brim with more tears. "Leave my sight!"

"All these years together you looked at me with so much love in your eyes.." Taehyung spoke softly, bringing his face down close and to her level. He studied her pained face thoroughly and could see that the words coming out of his lover's mouth really had no true meaning. These were not her words. "Now you demand I leave?"

"We cannot be together." She stated matter a factly.

"Yeah? Why do you believe that?" Taehyung asked, closing the space between them by placing a soft, but prolonged kiss on her cheek. "..did someone, or something come to you my darling?"

Jimin has made it seem like it was the right thing to do. Like Taehyung's very existence was like a salt sore soaked in the sea, draining her energy slowly and having her neglect her tasks. That was the only  benefit that (Y/N) had saw in Jimin's points; if Taehyung was gone the seas would become peaceful and calm as they use to be.

Taehyung snakes both of his strong arms around (Y/N)'s waist and pulled her closer toward him. Holding and embracing her in such an innocent way usually would calm her nerves and make her feel as if she had no care in the world. However, Taehyung's warm touch did quite the opposite in this moment. (Y/N) flinched at the touch that she use to melt into.

Taehyung's dark eyebrows furrow in confusion. "Did someone come to you, jagiya?" He asked again.

"My spirit shall not abide in a mortal like you forever Taehyung, for you are flesh. Your days shall be numbered one hundred twenty years maximum, mine are infinite," (Y/N) explained, pushing her hands against Taehyung's bare chest in a failed attempt to pry him off of her. "Thus..we cannot be together."

"But why? You yourself said that time comes and goes however you please, my dear! I haven't aged a single day since I've been here with you."

"It is not a moral's place to stay here with me. Though you are the first I have encountered with for some hundred years, I..Taehyung I'm truly sorry."

"But (Y/N), I love you! I'd rather grasp a hold of the loving hands of death himself than leave this place knowing that I'd never see you again," Taehyung frowned. "There just is no other woman I could love as much as I do you, (Y/N). There is no other woman in this universe that I want to spend my every breath with, to have my children with."

"My dear I'm sure that there are many women back in your home land that would be great suitors for you, Taehyung."

"No mortal woman can even dream to compare to your beauty, my love."

Tears began to burst forth like water from a dam, spilling down (Y/N)'s face even more than before. Her walls that held her up long enough to try to get through this, had collapsed. She sobbed into Taehyung's chest unceasingly, hands clutching at his shirt. (Y/N) cannot seem to stop..she cannot stop. Why can she not stop crying? Is this what heartbreak is? If so, she hates it.

"Taehyung, it is not my free will of sending you home," (Y/N) informed as she sniffled and wiped her index finger beneath her white eyes to rid evidence of her warm tears. "I am being punished by that evil menace!" The cover name for Jimin only made the tears come again. (Y/N) buried her face into the palm of her hands as she leaned against Taehyung's chest again, warm clear liquid seeped through her fingers as she hunched over in heart broken sobs. "He says it is no one's fate to be trapped here with me for eternity!"

(Y/N) did not understand why Jimin was punishing her so severely. Taking away the only thing she cares about, the only thing she loves..threatening her with his death if things do not go the way he wants them to, even calling her a sinner. Her internal suffering caused by Jimin was like a teddy bear fashioned from glass shards and the tighter she clung onto it, the deeper it had cut. But maybe sending Taehyung home is a good and noble choice, something positive, one that brings an inner glow and keeps her cozy under starlight and the sunshine on the beach's sand.

"Why listen?" Taehyung pouted. "Do not listen to him, darling! Whatever he told you, he filled your head up with nothing but pure lies."

"It is better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path, I'm trying to protect you Kim Taehyung."

"But I want to stay here with you, (Y/N)!"

"Taehyung I've already given my word that I'd get you off of this island," She sadly explained. "He'll kill you if I fail to do so, besides when a goddess gives her..! Wait, Taehyung!" (Y/N) gasped as her white eyes widen and her opened mouth formed into a grin. It was like a lightbulb had went off. (Y/N)'s hand reached below to grab ahold of Taehyung's large ones. Her thumb gently Taehyung's warm hand as she pulled his hands toward her chest, she looked up at him with a toothy smile. "I have an idea!"

"What is it darling?" Taehyung asked, smiling back down at her.

"There is this..spell of a sort that I know. Since it is just you and I here I'll have to preform the ritual alone an-"

"Ritual?" Taehyung questioned, his handsome face contorting into confusion as he tilts his head a bit to the side. "What ritual? Rituals sound.." Taehyung cautiously took a step back but his hands still remained in (Y/N)'s grasp. "Very voodoo-ish, black magic. I-I don't know about this (Y/N)."

"Voodoo? What? Goodness no Taehyung, I would never curse you," She reassured as she substituted the space between them that Taehyung had made by take a step forward. "I apologize, I must've used the wrong wording."

"It's alright darling, I know you're still learning," Taehyung chuckled as he planted another peck on (Y/N)'s cheek, then butterfly kisses trailing down to her jaw. (Y/N) to let out small giggles as she released Taehyung's right hand and flattened it against his chest, her delicate hand wondering his surface. "What's the result if you do this?"

"We can be together, we can be together forever!" She said confidentially.

Taehyung's pink lips remained sealed as his brown eyes scan his lover's hopeful and excited face. He lowered his lips to (Y/N)'s ear, his deep voice rumbled in her eardrum. "What's the catch?"

Taehyung's voice sent shivers down (Y/N)'s spine as her white eyes close and a blissful sigh escaped her lips. "We cannot meet for twelve years."

"T-Twelve years..?"

"My love, it's better than forever."

Well, she wasn't lying.

"Also," She began again. "I have..never done such a thing before so if something goes wrong on my part it could be fatal for you, that I am afraid of."

"What will happen if you succeed?"

(Y/N) blinked, offering a warm smile as she gently whispered her next few words.

"Your pretty flesh will merge with the white sands, your bones will turn to sea foam, and your blood will swim in the tides of the sea. I assign you a duty as a reward for my love for you, you will act as a spirit guide for the lost souls of these waters; ferry them to the worlds beyond. You will have the power over life and death," (Y/N)'s hand reached up to cup Taehyung's cheek, her thumb his warm blooded skin as she raised herself on the tips of her toes. "I will give you immortality that is not just specific to this location..you will become a living god, Taehyung."

Immortality? Become a god? Fulfilling a task assigned by her? Those things do sound quite nice to his ears. How could it not?

"After those twelve years of being a part, to show that our love remains real and true we shall meet again at the shoreline and this signifies that your duty is complete," (Y/N) smiled, running her fingers through Taehyung's dark hair. "After those twelve years of being a part, we can finally have that family you've always wanted."

Immortality, being a god, fulfilling a task, having (Y/N) forever, and having her to bear their children? This sounded like a far more lovely proposal. So many pros, and very few cons. He'll surely live happily all for eternity, no doubt. Surely he'll get what he's always wanted, but he will lose what he already has. But everyone back home must think he's as good as dead as a result for being gone for some many years. They must have moved on with his disappearance already, and so should he.

And maybe now that he would become a god, it could be easier for (Y/N) to conceive their children. They've been trying for some time, but as far as Taehyung knows, they're having no such luck.

Taehyung nods. He loved (Y/N) so much that he was willing to do anything for her, he was willing to risk his life for a chance to be with her. "Let's do it," He encouraged. "How can I help you?"

(Y/N) quickly shakes her head and waves him off. "The only thing you need to do in this is to lay down and relax when I say it is time," She explained. "Now, I have to go acquire some things..do not interfer, I will be finished by night fall."

"O-Oh, okay!" Taehyung nodded as he allowed his limbs to fall from (Y/N)'s frame. His arms then cross over his chest as his thumbs rub the fabric he wore. He had a ting of anxiety in the pits of his stomach as he watched (Y/N) leave the room. Thinking about something going wrong wasn't the only thing that was nipping at Taehyung's mind, but it was the 'ritual' as a whole. Where he's from, if anyone is caught doing things like this they're hung for the eyes of the public to see. They would also ban the name of the condemned from all history; the name would never be said, written, or mentioned ever again.

It was just a bit nerve wracking, that's all.

The sunny day with few white cotton clouds blossoming in the light blue sky had now taken on a silver hues, those deeper graphite tones that promise good rain. A storm, even.

(Y/N) was in the midst of creating the potion she had to have in order to perform the ritual correctly. Though it was ideal to have many people to help along with her, she believed that she was powerful enough to do it on her own.

This option simply needed things of the sea and parts of her.

She sprinkled in the sand, strings of water she had formed from her fingertip, and it required a singular tear of a god or goddess; in which she gave. (Y/N) plucked a strand of her (h/c) hair from the root and placed it into the little pot She inflicted a swift but large gash on the end of her palm to her wrist, twisting the blade and slicing a half-circle up her forearm and allowing strictly three drops of blood to fall into her mixture. As (Y/N) did all of this she never ceased her prayers and repeated phrases in a different language as her eyes were closed, blissfully inhaling the beautiful smoke that danced up from the small, orange blazing fire she had started. She began shivering violently when a sudden gust of wind had blown her way; her brows furrowed and her hands clenching the skin of her bare arms as she bowed down lower as if she were worshipping these items. Her mumbles in the unknown language hadn't stopped either.

That is, until someone had rudely interrupted.

"You're not keeping your word." A voice grumbled lowly. (Y/N) didn't need to turn around to see who it was, she confidently knew that it was Jimin. Judging by his tone she could just picture his angry face staring down at her.

"I am." She simply said as she opened her eyes and turned her head to peek over her left shoulder. (Y/N) then turned her attention back to the little black pot in front of her with swirls and blinding colorful, glittering clouds. Burning anger hissed more throughout Jimin's body like deathly poison that consumed and engulfed his moralities and destroying the boundaries of loyalty. Jimin tongued the inside of his cheek as his strong hand reached out to grasp (Y/N)'s shoulder. (Y/N) lifts her head up at the feeling of cold fingertips squeezing into her bare (s/c) skin. Before she could say anything she felt her body swiftly and harshly being pushed - or even thrown, into the sand. (Y/N) found herself looking up into the dark sky and gray cotton clouds, confused with her back against the rough surface of the sand. She turns her head slightly to see the handsome demon glaring down at her, his eyes were narrow and the deepest shadow of black other than his pupils that were a deep, glowing ruby red.

"No," He growled, his red hues delicately flowing into the air like a fire's flames. "You are not."

(Y/N)'s eyebrows furrow as she used her elbows to prop herself against the sand, looking Jimin straight in the eye. "Yes. I am!" She spat back, gritting her teeth. "What is wrong with you?! How dare you do such a thing?"

Jimin's angry expression softened when he realized what he had done, he frowns and his ruby pupils quickly fade into a wild berry pink. He stepped forward and held his hand out for (Y/N) to take. "Forgive me (Y/N), I just-"

"Do not touch me." (Y/N) slapped Jimin's cold hand out of her sight before brushing off some of the sand that stuck to her skin. Jimin's hand fell to his side as (Y/N) sat back down in front of the little black pot. "The deal was setting Taehyung free from this island, I am doing just that!"

Jimin sits down beside her on the warm sand.

"Please do not do this (Y/N). My visions are going very much against your actions, please!" Jimin's sweet but stern voice kept nagging in her ear. "You are truly insane! My goodness..this will be worse than if you bear the children of this man!"

"I have to do this." (Y/N) sniffled, still determined to mix her concoction perfectly as she could.

"If you truly love him, do not do this! You're cursing him."

"Nonsense."

"You cannot give such powers to something that is grouped in with such a stupid species! You are abusing your own power by doing this."

(Y/N) said nothing, ignoring the handsome demon.

"If you do this he must remain sealed away from the world, the underworld for all of eternity! Yoongi and his men shall never allow him to be released..for he will become a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands and sea! And the glory of invincibility, immortality!"

"You've just described yourself, Jimin," (Y/N) grumbled, rolling her eyes. "Taehyung will not be like you."

"Now, I am a er for the love of the flesh and all things rancid and delicate but I'm not a plague. Don't you see? He will be the bringer of death, not the protector!"

"Call Taehyung by name!" She demanded. "I find it incredibly rude of you!"

"He shall not be named," Jimin said as he shook his head. "Especially once you unleash this cursed individual to the universe."

"Jimin," (Y/N) huffed before turning herself completely around to face the decomposing creature. "There is nothing you can do or say to make me change my mind about this, I'm doing it."

"It's not your place to be doing such things (Y/N)! Oh just you wait until Yoongi finds out about this, you are going to be in quitethe trouble doll face," Jimin warned. "My visions are never wrong, but you are blinded. Oh well, it is your fate after all."

"Leave!"

"Alright, I'll leave," Jimin agreed. "I've warned you, yet again. You refuse to listen, yet again."

As night fell the blue and gray haze of the day lifted to reveal the stars and the bright full moon. (Y/N) almost didn't want to go through with the ritual. Jimin's words were starting to give her doubt in herself and simply because she was enjoying the moment of Taehyung holding her in his strong arms, one last time.

Taehyung loved his arms around (Y/N) too, but he was eager to get this task and ritual over with so he could complete these twelve years and come back to (Y/N) as fast as he could.

The two shared one last kiss, one last embrace before (Y/N) had Taehyung drink the tasteless  concoction that she had fixed up earlier that day. After she had him lay down on his back on the white blanket (Y/N) had laid out for him.

When he did, (Y/N) was quick to jump on top of him, straddling his hips as the sharp end of the dagger she held gently traced the outline of his jaw, esophagus, past his collarbones and finally down to the middle of his chest.

It seemed as if she were experiencing the same eagerness as Taehyung was feeling a moment ago.

"Wh-What are you doing?" Taehyung asked as he quickly propped himself up with his elbows, his flustered face was difficult to hide. (Y/N)'s hand reached out and pushed down hard on Taehyung's shoulder to stop him from sitting up any further.

"Just relax Taehyung, trust me."

"A-Alright darling."

Taehyung slowly laid back down, his brown eyes staring straight up into the night sky as he waited for any further instruction.

(Y/N) used one hand to caress Taehyung's soft, warm skin as she placed a tender kiss on his cheek. "Hold still," She whispers. "The time will fly, I promise you."

Taehyung's heart fluttered at the sound of his lover's voice and the small yet sweet affection shown, but all too soon, his heart fluttered for a whole different reason. (Y/N) started mumbling things under her breath in a language Taehyung could not understand as the sharp, curved dagger (Y/N) held in her hands was suddenly raised above her head and then swiftly brought down within a blink of an eye; plunging and piercing right into the tender flesh of Taehyung's stomach. His brown eyes widen, he gasps for air and his jolted movement forward was involentary. Within seconds, pain erupted throughout Taehyung's body. He felt a burning pain in his chest and his breath hitches; it felt like she had injected acid into his bloodstream. But the pain that once burned like fire had faded away to a sting cold numbness. Bright white filled the edges of Taehyung's vision and the only thing he could hear was his own heartbeat, (Y/N)'s pretty face was beginning to fade out of focus.

His breath came in ragged, shallow gasps.

"(Y/N).." He weakly cries out as his hand fumbled to blindly search for his lover's hand. Instead he found her arm first, and gripped onto it tightly for reassurance and security. "It..I-It hurts."

"Shh.." She soothed. "I know, I know." But the pain felt like it was getting worse, and it was getting harder and harder for Taehyung to breathe.

His life was essentially flashing right before his eyes. Between each flash of white, blinding light Taehyung would see pictures of his hometown, his family and all of the people he's met in his young life. He saw a beautiful sunset on the beach, he saw (Y/N), and he saw his wanted future.

Taehyung's slender body was twitching so violently beneath his lover, so much so that (Y/N) was having a hard time keeping her balance while straddling him. Taehyung couldn't catch his breath either but he was still trying so desperately to speak to (Y/N).

"ease..leas.." He weakly cries once more, desperation and urgency in his voice. "G-..(Y/N), h-hurt. Hurts."

"I know it hurts darling, I'm sorry," (Y/N) frowned as she placed a few kisses on Taehyung's pained face in attempt to calm him down a bit. "I wish I could take it all away darling I really do.”

Taehyung lets out a soft drawn out groan as he dug his fingernails into the surface of (Y/N)'s skin.

"Promise me.." Taehyung swallowed thickly. "Promise me you'll meet me at the shore in twelve years."

"I give you my word," (Y/N) promised as she pulled the dagger from Taehyung's flesh, earning a low groan from him. She then turned the sharp, bloodied object to herself and carved an x where her heart would be. Crossing her heart, hoping to die. "When a goddess gives her word Taehyung, she is bound for eternity. Worry not..I'll be here waiting for you my love."

Moments later, Taehyung felt as if he was floating like he was when he was drowning, the seaweed reached out to touch him to pull him towards the disarray of the seafloor. He felt like nothing more than flesh and bones ready to decay in the currents.

What had happened next was what (Y/N) had essentially promised Taehyung. His beautiful skin had shone brighter than the moon above before crumbling and disappearing into the finest specks of the shore's sand. His warm crimson blood spilled into the ocean, his soft voice danced with the air and his delicate skeleton bubbled in the waves before they claimed him as their own.

Long ago (Y/N) watched Taehyung struggling in the sea, she knew that he was drowning. She brought him with her, saving his life. (Y/N) can remember the event like it was just yesterday. But now, today, tonight, in this gorgeous moonlight, he is to be sent away. Twelve years is better than forever, yes but..she cannot help but still feel pained. She let him go..she let him go. He does not know how much she'll miss him everyday.

It's not fair, it's not fair.

Now (Y/N) stands upon the shore with a clean heart..it is quite a lonely time ahead. The only thing Taehyung and (Y/N) could ask from each other was to meet at that exact spot twelve years from then.

Not even the shining stars will stop (Y/N) from missing Taehyung.

"Until then my love," (Y/N) whispered into the soft wind. "Until then."

"Do not waste your time shedding tears my dear," Jimin's voice spoke before (Y/N) felt his bony arm wrapping around her and settling over her bare shoulder. "You have me until then now~! Maybe things will not end the way you two thought they always might..don't hold your breath."
