After placing down the picture of the forest onto the ledge the silhouette immediately picked it up and replacing it with an ebony umbrella. Jimin silently took the object and began to walk away, his mind wandering as he walked back down the straight corridor that he had come from. What did it mean? How was this going to make me happy? Thoughts crammed into his head making it hard to think straight.
By the time Jimin had gotten back to the room he'd been caged in for what seemed like years - but was only months - his legs were burning and his chest felt heavy. Why was he so tired. However as soon as he entered the cage of a room he'd been living in all of the tiredness and pain lifted. Eyes wide in shock he froze. As soon as he did so an all to familiar shape stepped out of the darkness. "I... I" Jimin stuttered his mouth falling clumsily open then closed trying to form the words that his vocal cords refused to make.
"So you did it huh? I'm surprised. You broke quicker than I thought you would Jimin. Can't handle your own flaws Jimin?" The figure snickered - a disgusting gravelly sound that seemed as if the person was coughing rather than laughing -as Jimin lowered his head to stare at the ground in weakness. "Here." In the persons hands were a replica of the ebony cloak and ivory mask Jimin had seen may times folded neatly.
"What?" Jimin grew more nervous by the second.
"Put these on and tuck your little charm into the cloak. I'll be back in a minute. I have something for you."
Jimin stood dumbfounded as the person put down the clothes and strode out of the room. I mean what other choice did he have? He'd already given away his most prized possession. He had nothing left to lose.
Stepping forward he began to pick up he garments. What was he doing?
Jimin suddenly dropped the clothes as if they were on fire.
"I can't do this. Who knows what'll happen." He said thinking aloud. But what if you don't do this? A sly voice of persuasion sneaked into his head.
"What if i don't do this?" Jimin repeated nodding his head. As if in a trance he stepped forward once again and quickly adorned the garments not taking his eyes off of them for even a moment. Jimin sighed. This was it. This was him. He could finnaly be happy.
That was when the door opened and Jimin turned his face to where the footsteps had originated from.
A gloved hand reached out to him a glowing pendant on a chain rested in their palm. The blueish light resonating from the object seemed to infuriate Jimin entirely. In that moment all he wanted to was wear it. So he did. The intricately weaved metal slipped around Jimin's throat where it would stay.
"Thank you. I will cherish my happiness." Jimin's voice sounded foreign in his own ears. But he liked it. He liked it very much. He bowed his head repectfully before sliding to his knees and falling into a peacefull slumber on the suddenly comforting floor of the claustraphobic room.
There was a click then they spoke.
"I see you chose wisely" the chillingly deep voice spoke an eery tone to their voice. "Hyung."
