...Flower of Evil...

Iseul couldn't breath as the woman choked her. Her finger nails were digging into her skin like sharp knives. Iseul held the woman's hand and tried to pry away but Danbi's body wasn't that strong.

Iseul's almost teary eyes looked at the half covered face of the woman. It really looked familiar. Just who is this? It felt like Iseul knew her but at the same time she couldn't pin point.

The woman smiled creepily. "Look at you. Back to square one again? Do you expect your brothers to save you? You still believe them?"

The voice.

A terrifying thought came to her mind. No,she couldn't believe it. It's impossible.

Suddenly, the woman loosened the grip around her and touched her neck softly as if she was trying to heal her. Iseul's neck was badly bruised and blood was flowing down from the scratches.

"Iseul,how long do you plan to play the fool? You want to get hurt again?"

The voice was cold and chilling.

Iseul gasped as she took large gulps of breaths. Her teary eyes stared at the woman. "I will play however I want and you have no saying in it", she immediately threw the nearest trash bin towards the woman and ran away from the room.

Iseul didn't know where she was running. She was in the middle of the sea and she had no escape. She ran through the hall ways of private rooms where guests were supposed to sleep. Every door was closed so she ran through the hallways.

Suddenly, the woman appeared infront of her making her halt. Since she was running so fast,it was hard to pull ab abrupt stop resulting her to slip on the floor.

The woman took a step forward and Iseul crawled backwards with wide eyes.

The woman laughed seeing Iseul crawling backwards. "Aww,the great Queen Iseul,aren't you? What happened? Trapped in a human body,huh? No powers at all. Useless"

She crouched down to her level and stroked Iseul's cheek. She leaned closer to Iseul's face and smirked. "Why don't we start again?"

Iseul's face turned pale and cold sweat was rolling down her face. "W –Who are you?"

"Me? Oh,didn't you still recognise me? Ah,what a shame", she chuckled. "Let me tell you it in this way", she went near her ear and whispered. "You"

Just then,she was swung backwards by a force. Iseul widened her eyes seeing a black fan on the chest of that woman as she was crashed onto a wall. The black fan flew back to its owner.

Iseul snapped her head back and saw a icy pale hand catching the fan.

Yoongi.

He stood at the corner of the hall way with dark hooded eyes.

A swoosh sound came taking Iseul's attention and when she looked ahead,Jin had teleported infront of the woman who had fallen on to the ground. He pulled the woman up by his bare hand and was about to punch her to a pulp but she blocked his punch and fought back.

Both of them fought infront of Iseul's eyes.

With each passing second, Iseul's eyes went wide seeing how they fought. Her chest tightened and she felt like she was burning in an invisible fire.

Soon,Yoongi joined Seokjin and tried to catch the woman. It looks like she knew Seokjin's and Yoongi's fighting styles.

When the woman was at a disadvantage because of paired forces,she immediately backed away from the two ghost Kings and disappeared.

Seokjin didn't dare to look back knowing their masks had already fallen off infront of Iseul. He just stood there without doing anything.

However, Yoongi turned back and walked to Iseul before kneeling on one knee. He looked at her neck. "It can get infected. Let's treat it"

"Fuck,you guys — why the fuck are you so careless! Do you want me to continue to act as Danbi when you put a whole magic show infront of me?!", she complained as she slapped away Yoongi's hand.

Yoongi sighed. "We know that you know about us"

Iseul glared at him. "Since you said it by yourself now,stay away from me. I won't act anymore too. Just what in the world do you guys want?! Do you want to get your revenge? Oh,good. Since we all know about our secrets,just kill me already —"

Jin suddenly turned around and crouched down next to her as Yoongi and looked at her with a fierce glare. He flickered his fingers on her forehead.

She hissed in pain and stroked her forehead.

"Can you just shut up? We'll take our revenge when we feel like it"

"Huh! So,you really came back to take the revenge? Wow,how shameless. Just know that I will never regret what I did to you all", she hissed and spat the venomous words like snake hissing. The hatred was obviously visible in her eyes.

Jin looked at her indifferently while Yoongi looked away.

"What? Did I say something wrong? You guys deserved everything what I did back then. Even if I were to go back in time, I will still do the same thing. I fucking hate you all"

Jin sighed. "Alright"

Iseul looked away in anger. She hated this. She hated to be weak infront of them. She hated everything around her now. She just wanted to disappear. It was fine when they were still acting but now,it wasn't okay. She wasn't okay. The scars in her heart still hurt like hell and she could never forget them.

She hated her brothers even more than the Queen. There is a saying that it hurt the most when your loved ones betrayed you. That's what happened. She loved them dearly but they destroyed her.

She stood up and walked away without looking back.

If she only looked back,she would have noticed the single tear that left Jin's eye. But she didn't.

Iseul went towards the pool area. Everyone was enjoying the party inside while she was outside. She leaned against the railing and looked at the night Sea.

"You really don't die,huh?"

Iseul looked at his side to see Yeonjun.

Iseul,"You saw everything?"

Yeonjun nodded. "I really wished you'd die there but your ghost Kings happened to be a pain"

He saw everything and didn't even try to help her. He hated Iseul that much and she could sense his hatred.

Iseul, "Do you know who is that woman?"

Yeonjun looked at the sea. "Of course ,I know. Why wouldn't I know", he looked at her. "And you know her very well too. You just can't accept it"

"It's impossible"

"I don't know how this happened either.  But I can never mistake her"

Iseul fell into a silence. Her mind was a mess. "Yeonjun, what did I do to you and Beomgyu? And this Soobin. How are you all connected?"

This time,Yeonjun seemed somewhat calm and collected. He didn't lash out on her. He smiled bitterly,looking at the far corner of the endless sea. It was like his life. Endless.

"Your highness, you destroyed our lives. Your existence was the destruction of our lives"

Iseul looked at him.

"When you were going insane with your craziness, there was a boy beside you who refused to leave your side. He willingly stayed with you. Spent his nights pleasuring you. He always came to your room asking you to accept him. To prove his loyalty and love towards you,he killed his brother infront of you. And then you made his other brother your one of bed toys. Do you remember now?"

Iseul's pale sick face went even pale hearing it.

The memories she hid behind the back of her mind started to come back. Now he said it,she remembered. There was indeed a boy like that. She didn't even care to know his name. She destroyed that boy all night when she was going crazy on her mind.

And his brothers?

It was blury but she slightly remembered. Not everything. Only blury images. She didn't even remember what she said back then.

But the victim remembered every cruel word which came out from her evil mouth.

"Beomgyu is the boy who stayed with you till your last moment"

Iseul's eyes shook. She really did dirty him. No,them. She dirtied them. She destroyed them.

"He knows it?", she asked in terror.

Yeonjun nodded. "He knows everything. He asked me to show it to him"

"And soobin?"

"He doesn't remember. He is just a human"

Iseul,"B – But you guys were — I mean,you guys are friends?"

Yeonjun smiled like he remembered a sweet memory. "I was watching over him ever since he was born into this world. And protected him"

Iseul nodded and lowered her head. For the first time in ages,she felt ashamed. Beomgyu treated her well in both her lives but what did she do. The guilt striked her harder than she thought.

"...I know this is too much to ask. But can I meet him? ", she finally asked.

"No", Yeonjun said.

Iseul nodded. She couldn't force them. She had no right. After being in silence for few minutes, she spoke again. "I'm sorry. I don't ask you to forgive me. But I want to say it. I don't deserve your forgiveness"

Yeonjun smiled bitterly. Her apology didn't have any affect on him. Her apology can't bring back what he lost. He looked at her. "I won't forgive you. Will never. You might have lost a lot of things in your lives but that doesn't give you the right to destroy my family. You might have gone through worse pain but I won't try to understand you. You are evil and I am evil too. I want someone I can blame on"

Iseul understood him. She understood him very well. She had no excuse to cover up her crimes. Her hands were bloody from all the innocent deaths. The weight of her crimes cannot be measured.

Yeonjun turned around to leave.

Iseul sat on the floor after Yeonjun left.

(A little epilogue )

25 years ago

Yeonjun entered the hospital with his palmtop and looked at the name of the soul he is about to escort. There were two more junior male grim reapers with him. They directly went to a ward and waited. When they saw the sould they needed,Yeonjun ordered the junior reapers to collect the soul and left the ward.

As he was passing by the baby room where new born babies are born,he stopped infront of it and went inside. After looking at all the babies, his eyes stopped at a specific baby.

His chest tightened as he approached the baby who was wide awake. Yeonjun reached out to stroke his cheek but the baby grabbed his index finger. He knew that new born babies couldn't see anyone but he smiled.

"You recognised me? ", His eyes moistened. "Soobin, brother is here", he whispered.

He leaned closer to the baby. "Brother will protect you. Nothing will happen to you again. And don't worry about Gyu. He is doing fine. Just live your life happily"

"Who are you?"

Yeonjun looked back and saw a young man.

"Why are you looking at my son?"

Yeonjun looked at his eyes directly. His eyes had a silver glint. "I wasn't looking at him"

The man straightened up his posture and walked past Yeonjun towards the baby as nothing happened.

Yeonjun hypnotised him. He again paused and called Soobin's new dad. "Wait,look"

The man looked at him again with a confused look. "Yes"

Yeonjun again looked him in the eye and said. "You should name him as 'Soobin' "

Yeonjun turned around and left.
