Persuasion and luck

┏━━━━━━༻♔༺━━━━━━┓

I had a weird dream again.

In the center of everything, Yoongi was there. It was always about him. I could not ignore it anymore. I went out to seek him but he was not here in the garden. The piano was standing still, empty and lonely.

I walked over to it and sat down on the stool. Pressing a few keys, I thought to myself why I was bothered by my dreams so much. Dreams were absurd anyway. They did not make sense. Me dreaming about him should have no meaning.

Still...

"Can you play?"

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when Yoongi appeared out of nowhere. He leaned against the piano and chuckled at my reaction.

"What brought you here...?"

I tried to start lightly. "I wanted to try playing this."

He hummed. "Go on."

I pressed some random keys and blushed when he snickered.

"Okay. I can't."

"Here." He sat down beside me and positioned himself like a professional. "Follow me."

Slowly and patiently, he pressed the piano keys and I followed him to the best of my abilities. He smiled and complimented me for doing something so simple. The melody that accompanied us was beautiful like white and pink roses blooming.

"You must love playing piano..."

He hesitated for a split second. "Yes. I've learned it since I was so young... It was my first love... But in the end, this love consumed me and..."

He turned silent.

Then, the dreams I had were not simply my imaginations.

"Actually... I'm thinking of giving up my job."

He turned his head to me. "Why?"

I brushed the piano keys. "I want to take some time to think about what I want to do... I... don't think I should go on when I'm not in the right state of mind. I don't want to work hard all the time for no reason. I want to rest some time."

Dark aura floated in the air and I followed it to see Yoongi staring at me with really dark eyes, blacker than the usual, and darkness wrapped around his whole body. I heard his voice changing into my own voice in my mind.

"But I should keep working hard. I would be successful one day. If I keep going, it will be better."

"I shouldn't give up."

My hands trembled and I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing. This should not be real. He was not a human.

"Persuasion."

My breath hitched when I remembered.

"That's the power of the Deadly Sin of Sloth. And yours is luck, Diligence."

"I will work hard."

"Hey, Diligence! Why are you being so chummy with a human?"

I shooed Humility away. "You don't see what I see in him. This boy is practicing day and night on his piano. You don't know how happy seeing this makes me."

Yoongi was there playing piano and I was watching him proudly.

"Well... as long as you don't interfere with his or anyone's life."

I clutched my head and hissed in pain as it throbbed. Yoongi immediately reached a hand to hold me and asked if I was alright. How could I be?

I got out of his hold and blurted a goodbye and ran back to the nearest place I could go. My legs brought me to the flower shop. If what I remembered was real, he also had the power to read my mind. I did not know what could happen if he read mine just now.

...Or I was going insane.

Sloth? Diligence? Persuasion? Luck? Nothing made sense. How could there be deadly sins and heavenly virtues as beings, one of them just in front of me a few minutes ago even?

Luck? Just like those times that maroon haired man- Jaesung was around me and his eyes suddenly burned red. Did that mean he was not human but Diligence?

But they were calling me Diligence. Was I not human either?

I screamed and pulled my hair. It was crazy! I did not know what to believe.

Yoongi was in my dreams and now, I remembered some of the times I used to be around him when he was younger. Was he human? Or did he use to be human?

My head could not handle all these nonsense and I searched the internet about past life memories. Nothing helped me. Frustrated and lost, I wanted to cry.

Just then, the door chimes jingled and Jaesung walked in.
