...Flower of Evil...

If every story had a happy ending, then it is the fairytale everyone desires. But it is the universal truth that not everyone ends up with such a fairytale happy ending. Falling in love with the right person at a wrong time might be a tragic story with no happy ending. And that is what happened to Xie Ming and Iseul. They were made for each other yet the time was wrong. And also the place. Their ending was such a tragedy.
Heart wrecking and agonising. No one deserves such a gruesome ending.

It hurts him.

He was helpless.

His love and child suffered infront of his very own eyes yet he couldn't even lift a finger.

Linghe opened his teary eyes.

_______

Jimin opened the door and he was grabbed by his collar by none other than Linghe or should I say,Xie Ming! He pushed Jimin against the nearest wall. His eyes were blood shot red.

Jimin wasn't surprised. He was already expecting such a reaction from him. But he didn't attack him back.

"Where is she?!"

Jimin was silent for a moment as he examined Linghe's condition. It seemed like he had run back from Yunxi's apartment as soon as he got his senses back. His dress shirt was bloody with holes and his bandaged body was visible through the holes.

"Which one are you referring to?", Jimin asked.

Linghe was taken back. Which one? What does he mean? He asked where is his wife but what did he say?

"Are you Xie Ming or Linghe? Which Iseul do you want to see now?"

Linghe gripped into his neck gritting his teeth like a mad man. "Are you kidding me now?!"

"I'm not. You saw it too. Iseul lives in Danbi's body while there is another Iseul in her real body"

Linghe felt a strong headache as he stumbled back. He was still in confusion and turmoil. He felt like going crazy. The two personalities inside him are fighting against each other,Xie Ming and Zhang Linghe. The memories caused a big mental impact on Linghe. Sometimes he couldn't recognise himself. Is he Linghe or Xie Ming?

What is he now?

Who is he searching for?

Danbi or Iseul?

But both of them are Iseuls. He was sure Danbi was Iseul but who is the other person?

Just then Yoongi came downstairs hearing the commotion.

Jimin widened his eyes and tried to warn him but too late. Linghe had seen him already.

Blood lust grew in Linghe's body. The man who killed his family! He forgot everything about his identity and all he wanted was to kill this man. The man who caused the misery to his family! He would never forgive him!

He took the nearest glass vas and shattered it against the wall. Taking a piece of glass,he dashed towards Yoongi.

Yoongi didn't move and let him come at him. The glass pierced his stomach and blood slowly oozed out from the deep wound.

Jimin was bewildered but didn't interfere since Yoongi gave no signal.

Yoongi looked into Linghe's bloody eyes. The sorrow and anguish in them were unbearable to see. Linghe was suffering from the tormented memories.

"You.destroyed.them", Linghe whispered with gritted teeth as tears fell down from those anguished eyes."Give them back to me. Give me back my son and wife!"

Yoongi blankly stared at his eyes. It hurt him too. It hurt him to think that his sister thought the same as this man back then. They thought it was him who destroyed their family when in reality he was not even on the human realm. But it hurt even more to think that he couldn't protect them. What was the use of his godhood when he couldn't protect them.

He opened his mouth and uttered, "I'm sorry"

This man,Xie Ming,deserves an apology too. He was a victim of their unfortunate fate.

Yoongi pulled out the glass piece and threw away. A simple stab couldn't hurt him but the feelings Linghe put into the stab hurt him. He looked at Jimin and gave a small nod.

Jimin casted a calming spell and put Linghe into a sleep. He won't calm down if he is awake. To explain everything to him,he needs to calm down. His messed up memories will only harm him if he keeps being awake.

The second Iseul was in netherworld as ghost Kings expected. She was not in a lava pot as she expected but an extravagant room. What is a sinner like her doing in this luxurious Palace in netherworld. The walls were gold from top to bottom with red giant curtains.

Iseul wasn't sure to whom this Palace belonged nevertheless she made herself comfortable because why not. If she was given this luxury, then she gotta enjoy it.

Eating a red apple,she stayed seated in a cushion chair. She didn't care if the apple was poisoned or cursed,she had nothing to lose now,she is already in hell.

"Greetings my lady Iseul,I apologise for keeping you wait"

A manly gentle voice took her attention.

She raised her head up to see a man in his twenties infront of him. He was wearing all black from head to toe. The jacket was made from shiny leather and his shoes were looking too expensive with silver buckles and ornaments decorating the shoes. His both ears were pierced from top to bottom with numerous silver earrings.

He was one hella handsome like a devil sexy man. But his aura was too powerful. If Iseul wasn't a vengeful soul with too much resentment, she would be on her knees not being able to bare the aura. But too bad,Iseul's soul is way too dark and maliciously powerful.

Iseul raised an eyebrow. "May I know who is this young lord?"

The youth smirked, "The hell king hades,is me"

One of the hell Kings who rule the netherworld. He belonged to the hell part. He rules the souls belonged to the dark fiery pit.

Hades took Iseul's hand and placed a kiss on her hand as a greeting gesture.

Iseul kept her poker face and gave a slight nod. She wondered why she was here again. She was respectfully escorted here without pushing her to the fiery pit of hell.

Hades took a seat infront of Iseul.

"Why am I here?You took great lengths to bring me here,showing me such a hospitality. What do you want from a sinner like me?", Iseul asked directly.

Hades smiled. "I won't beat around the bush. I want you to be my subordinate. I don't want a soul like you to go to a waste. You can always pay for your crimes while working under me"

Iseul raised an eyebrow. Work for him? In hell? It isn't that of a bad offer. "What am I supposed to under you?"

"Getting rid of sinners,torturing and the list goes on"

Iseul is more than capable of doing it. There is no better person than Iseul for this job but does she want it? To continue the life she had been living? No,she does not. She is sick of everything. She got her revenge only to find out it was a bad misunderstanding she had. She is fed up with her life. She preferred to burn in the fiery pit than continuing this life. She just wanted to vanish and nothing else. If she was a mortal,she would have committed suicide but now she is a soul. Now she wished her soul to get burned until she vanish.

"Her answer is no"

Iseul and Hades looked at where the voice came from. The ghost king Taehyung stood at the door way with his hands inside his pant pockets.

Hades had an irritated look seeing him.

"This annoying brat", Hades muttered under his breath.

"I knew she'd be here. As expected, you tried to pull your strings around her", Taehyung said as he walked towards them. "Iseul,you are not going to work under him,are you?"

Iseul pursed her lips into a thin line and looked away. She did not expect to see him here. She thought they would forget about her since the Iseul was safe. And she is not ready to meet her brothers after knowing the truth about their past. Nevertheless, she answered, "no"

Taehyung smiled and gave an annoying smirk to Hades.

Hades would have fought to death with this irritating brat if he wasn't the ghost king who owns the gambling den. Hades always loved to gamble in Taehyung's and Jimin's casino. And somehow, he had lost a lot of his treasures thanks to this annoying punk infront of him. All his wealth went to Taehyung's pocket after gambling with him. Both of them are like a fire and ice,never got along.

Iseul saw this invisible tension between them. Swear enemies.

"Why are you here though?", Iseul asked taking Taehyung's attention.

Taehyung looked at her. "I'm here to bring you out from this hell hole. You got a place in another place"

Hades,"Excuse me. Who do you think you are to interfere in my business? She is a sinner who came to receive her panelty here. You have no right to take her away!"

"Oh I do", Taehyung said. "Are you challenging a supreme ghost king now? Not to mention you have a debt to pay after gambling in my casino. And let me remind you,there are so many candidates to fill your seat once you are done here"

Hades glared at him,gritting his teeth. "Then are you letting this sinner off the hook because she is your sister?"

Iseul scoffed,rolling her eyes. She went from 'my lady' to 'sinner' within few minutes.

"I am not. I already told you,she already got a place,and will be receiving her punishment"

"Under who?"

"Jade Emperor"

Hades had nothing to say as a comeback. It was only fair to receive a punishment under someone else since Iseul is seven supreme ghost kings' sister. Ghost Kings would never punish Iseul if Iseul is under them.

Hades scoffed and left in annoyance.

Taehyung looked at Iseul, "Let's go"

Iseul,"...."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong? Aren't you coming?"

Iseul,"...nothing, let's go"

Taehyung smiled.

Iseul looked down and walked ahead of him.

Her brothers never left her until today. Even at this point,they came to her. She finally understood other Iseul's feelings. She saw in her memories how she cried not being able to bear the pain of guilt. She would have cried too but she was too much emotionally numb. She was used to not cry when it hurts. That's why they say,habits are scary.
