S2|Ch.15
...Flower of Evil...
Iseul touched the flowers in the vas as she continued to listen to the conversation her brothers were having with Yeonjun. She was also a part of this conversation but she didn't join them. They were all in this huge library inside the mansion. Iseul never knew this library existed. It's not like she would read all these books with crapy modern letters. She seriously needed to learn the modern calligraphy.
There were so many tall book racks everywhere and there is this middle space in between the racks,so anyone can study there. There were small couches,large circular couch,and some tables. Everyone sat as they pleased except Iseul who was leaning against the window. Her eyes were on the flower vas. She didn't have a courage to look at her brothers.
"It must be the other Iseul who took away Beomgyu", Yoongi said.
"How did this fake Iseul come?", Yeonjun asked.
Taehyung, "She is not fake"
A vein popped out from Iseul's forehead hearing it. "Are you saying I'm the fake one?", she slightly sent a glare to the man.
Taehyung was caught off guard by her question. He hurried to explain. "No no! That's not what I mean! But she is really not a fake one"
Iseul scoffed and rolled her eyes.
Yeonjun, "What do you mean not fake? Iseul is here. Maybe that's Nian?"
Namjoon, "No,that's Iseul herself. Not that one", he pointed at Iseul who was plucking flower petals. "But somehow, both of them are Iseul. Let me explain"
Iseul's ears perked up as Namjoon started explaining.
"That's Iseul's real body. I think someone had kept Iseul's dead body without letting it rot. You know,if you want to keep a dead body like a real alive human,you need to use spiritual energy. That must be it. And even if Iseul....,",Namjoon paused as it was a bit hard to say. "Even if she died,the resentment in her body still remained just like as it was. And it formed its own consciousness because the resentment was too strong. But still,it still needs help of demonic energy to come back to life. Someone must have used demonic energy to let her out. I think I needn't to say who is it"
It's obvious as day who must have done it. Demon Nian.
Iseul looked at the destroyed flower petals. "What does he want? Didn't he get what he wanted?"
Seokjin, "You have become his obsession. It has been following you ever since you took your rebirth. Whenever you were agitated, he tried to possess you. And if he had the chance to possess you completely, he would take your soul to fuse it with dead Iseul's soul"
"To do the repeat of what happened?", Iseul asked,still keeping her gaze on petals. "My first body has the power while my pure soul is stuck in Danbi's body. I'll be tastier if I were to fuse with my own body. My emotions...",her words were emotionless but she understood what Nian wanted. It was just a guess but there is no doubt about it.
Seokjin stared at Iseul's back facing figure. He wanted to go to her but she restrained himself.
Suddenly startling everyone, Iseul cursed loudly.
"MOTHERFUCKING DOG FUCKER!",She turned around and pointed her index finger at them. "You irresponsible brothers! If you won't protect me well this time,I'll die again! Don't you even dare to look for me! I'd be better off as a ghost. Humph!",she huffed in annoyance and stomped her foot on the ground.
Her brothers stared at her with wide eyes like they didn't expect her to go rampage like this.
"What are you looking at! Look! I'm weak and fragile! It's not like I can protect myself with this body! That bastard gyu could have atleast choose a strong body of a man. Tsk,you all are useless!"
She was babbling complete nonsense without even knowing what is coming out of her mouth. She was frustrated and pissed off.
But she was kinda cute.
Like she had become the old Iseul who loved to be all whiny infront of her brothers.
Yeonjun wanted to smack his head somewhere. "She is such an embarrassment"
Hoseok smiled first. "Alright. We'll protect you well this time"
Rest of them smiled feeling a bit relieved that she expressed herself. Even a little bit of her cute anger is enough.
Iseul bit her inner cheek feeling awkward and nodded slightly. Clearing her throat,she spoke again. "So,anything else? Can I ask a request?"
"Go ahead", Jimin said.
"Can I kill that bitch you are referring as mom?"
"That's a no", Jungkook said.
"What, don't tell me you all forgave her? I'm not a saint like you all"
Yeonjun spoke. "I saw her on the way. Isn't she a grim reaper? Though she is wearing a human skin,I could still sense her"
Iseul wasn't even surprised now. She had a guess.
"Alright, meeting is dismissed until we find something about other Iseul. Yeonjun, we'll look for Beomgyu. Don't worry", Namjoon said.
Iseul was still dissatisfied. But she decided to ask something else. "What will you do if you face that fake Iseul?"
Her brothers stiffened and this slight movement didn't go unnoticed by Iseul.
"You'll kill her,right?"
No one answered.
"Hey,I'm the real deal here! Not her!", Iseul was slightly worked up. Will they abandon her for that fake one? "She is fake!"
Seokjin, "She is...not fake. She is Iseul. Just like you. Though she has a different consciousness, she is still Iseul born from your own emotions"
Iseul took a step back as if she felt insecure.
Yoongi walked to her and stroked her hair. "We won't abandon you for her. You both are important"
Iseul,"No. She must die. She is supposed to be dead. She is a puppet of Nian"
Yoongi sighed. "Alright. Let's see what we can do"
__________
Iseul decided to hang out with Yeonjun for the day since she had nothing to do. Though Yeonjun didn't agree at first,he couldn't say no when her brothers glared at him as if threatening him. So,he had no choice but to baby sit her.
They went to a cafe first since Iseul was hungry as fuck. Both Yeonjun and Iseul bought burgers and started eating.
"So,I have a question for you"
Yeonjun nodded and stuffed his face in the burger.
Iseul,"That time in the time space, when we were about to be hit by the storm,you tried to protect me. That's such a noble act coming from you. Weren't you counting fingers till I die?Don't you hate me now?"
Yeonjun scrunched his lips as if he is disgusted. "I still do hate you. A lot. And I want you to choke on that burger and die"
Iseul scoffed. "Then why the heck did you try to protect me?"
Yeonjun put down the burger on the plate and sighed. "I don't know. At first,I hated you and I even closed my eyes when you were attacked by the other Iseul. But now,I'm spending my time with you,it feels different. It almost feels like it wasn't you who inflected pain to me"
Iseul looked away feeling guilty. She knew it was her own doings. She did everything. "You are being delusional. It was me. I did inflect pain on you. So,I hope you'd hate me and take revenge. Atleast,that way,I'll be relieved"
Yeonjun, "My misfortune is not a freepass to hurt others. You will be punished either way. I don't need to lay my hands on you. And isn't this my perfect revenge? I'll be good to you and you'll be in pain because of that. Drown in guilt,you'll suffer. So,let me be good to you"
Iseul smiled bitterly. "Why didn't I think like you back then? I hurt innocents. My misfortune is really not a freepass to hurt others"
Yeonjun smiled. "Wanna grab a drink?"
Iseul looked outside. It was still day time. Though she liked to drink at night, she felt good about the offer. "Sure"
Yeonjun and Iseul went to a pub. At first,they asked Iseul's Id to confirm her age,but Yeonjun used his magic to manipulate the man.
And then,their party began. Ordering every type of drinks,they began to drink,competiting with each other.
"You bastard ~ look how I drink!", Iseul slurred and drank two glasses together.
Yeonjun smirked drunkenly and poured beer to the big glass before challenging her. "Bitch,look how I drink and learn!"
Both of them put their arms over their shoulders and kept drinking until they get drunk. Iseul even choked while laughing.
"After w –we found gyu,let –let's take the little bastard to drink", Iseul suggested.
Yeonjun agreed,nodding his head. "Good idea ~ to tell you the truth,he sucks at drinking"
Iseul laughed loudly. "I know right. He once took me to a club. Turned out,it was an illegal club. And then you came and chased him away ~"
After wasting their not so important time,they both went shopping. Both of them were drunk as fuck.
Iseul wore a various cloths and asked Yeonjun's approval. Yeonjun had a high taste in fashion. Even though he was drunk as fuck,his fashion sense didn't leave him. After going through various fashion shows infront of Yeonjun, Iseul finally got his approval for the final dress she chose.
And next was his turn. He took his time to select his own cloths.
"Bitch,you better pay for them", Yeonjun said as he went to try them.
Iseul was slumped on a couch like a half dead cat. She did an okay sign. In a few minutes, he came out and posed infront of Iseul.
"How do I look?"
Iseul thought deeply and scrunched up her face before reply. "Woah. You look like a grim reaper"
Her sarcastic comment hit Yeonjun. He cursed at her and went inside to change. Again after changing, he came out and spined.
"Now? Don't I look cool?"
No reply. When he looked at Iseul,she was sleeping like dead on the couch.
He scoffed in disbelief.
He also plopped himself beside her and decided to take a nap. He was really stressed because of Beomgyu but this short day out helped him a bit. He was relieved when Iseul's brothers took the case to search for Beomgyu. The only worry he had was Beomgyu's feelings for Iseul. What if he chose the Iseul he loved?
Right now,Beomgyu has two Iseuls in his life. One is his friend while other is his love. Who will he chose?
While Iseul and Yeonjun were sleeping, Linghe was passing by to look for a suit. And when his eyes caught the sight of Iseul and Yeonjun, he paused.
His hands automatically clenched.
