TWENTY-EIGHT


Hell's sun peeked through Hoseok's curtain but he was already awake, trying to find something to wear that would impress Hana. His clothes were thrown across the room and he was now pacing, muttering to himself.

"What should I wear?" He asked and stopped by his bed which was piled high by clothes he thought were inadequate to show her. After he confessed his feelings to her the night before, he had wanted to try and get Hana to admit her feelings for him. Of course he already knew how she felt but he wanted to hear those words slip from her pretty lips.

"I got it!" He yelled and ran from his room and headed to Jimin's room. He ran full speed into the door but bounced off, and crashed into the wall opposite "Ow"

The door was yanked open and Jimin came out with his fist up in flames. When he looked down at his king, he sighed and extinguished the flame.

"What are you doing?" Jimin asked his king "Why are you running around in your boxers?"

"I need your help" Hoseok said pushing himself into Jimin's room.

"Please, come in" Jimin muttered and turned to Hoseok "Hey! Stop throwing my clothes around"

"I need to borrow some clothes of yours. I'll give them back" Hoseok said, throwing Jimin's clothes across the room "I'm taking this"

"Hoseok, as much as it pains me to say this" Jimin started "I'm shorter than you and that top will not fit you"

"I want to flaunt my muscles"

Jimin looked at his king with disbelief "Are you feeling ok your highness?"

"I'm taking Hana out if you have forgotten" Hoseok said, putting his hands on his hips "We are leaving the palace gates and I want to show her my world and I want to impress her"

Jimin sighed "And you need to impress her because?"

"I want her to tell me she likes me" Hoseok said, grabbing a pair of ripped jeans "These will fit me"

"Hoseok, wear what you normally wear. You're the king and you have a good fashion sense"

"Those slaves didn't seem to think so" Hoseok pouted "They said I dressed weird"

"You wear wearing ripped...never mind, wear a suit or something" Jimin said "I'll get the guards ready. We can leave shortly after breakfast"



Taehyung and Yoongi watched Hana throw clothes around the room as she searched for something to wear. 

"Why are you trying so hard?" Yoongi asked with a yawn "You woke me up to help you and now you are throwing clothes at me"

"I'm not trying hard" Hana said holding a dress against her body "No. This is too dressy"

"Are these your clothes anyway?" Taehyung asked picking up a top.

"No, well some of them are" Hana said "Jimin went back to my home and picked up my clothes"

Taehyung smirked "Including your underwear?"

Hana blushed "I don't think I have been that embarrassed before. He almost threw the bag at me before he ran away, yelling 'I had my eyes closed when I was grabbing your underwear'. It was kinda cute, but I wanted to kill myself"

Taehyung and Yoongi's face darkened slightly, and Hana looked over at them.

"I'm sorry" She said quietly "I don't think I ever did apologise for what I tried to do"

Yoongi shrugged "It's fine. Sometimes you can't stop those feelings and it takes over. But next time, if you ever feel like that again, please talk to us. We want you to trust us because we were dragged her together and we need each other"

"I agree" Taehyung said walking over to a pile of clothes. He squatted beside it and rummaged through the clothes and picked something up "Why not this dress?"

"Too short"

Taehyung sighed and made his way back to Yoongi "Hurry up and-whoa!"

Yoongi yelled out and Hana turned to see them.

"Oh my god!" She screamed and ran over snatching her bra from them "Why do you have this!"

"You threw it just now!" Yoongi yelled "Stop throwing your underwear at me!"

"It wasn't intentional!"

"Throw your panties at me!" Taehyung said throwing his arms in the air "I mean no! I don't want...oh shut up. I've not seen girls underwear for ages and I think I need some TLC"

"Ugh" Hana said "You can both leave now. I know what I'm wearing"

"Nothing?"

"Do you want to die?" Yoongi asked as Buttons growled from under a pile of clothes "I kinda forgot he was there"

Hana laughed "So did I. You can go now, I'll be down for breakfast"

The two boys left and Yoongi yanked a pair of knickers from Taehyung's pocket and punched him in the shoulder. Hana glared at him as he laughed running from the room, and she quickly changed into a black dress and some tights.

There was a knock on the door and Bee came in dressed all in a dark red. Hana could see a few weapons resting on her hips and Bee closed the door behind her.

"We should go through a few rules before we leave the gates of the palace" She said "But first thing is first...what have you done to your room?"

"Oh, I was just...it doesn't matter"

"Right" Bee said, looking around the room "Rule 1, I will never leave your side. 2, I will kill anything that tries to kill you. 3, don't trust any demon because you don't know if they are from the East or not"

"Do you think demons will try to kill me?" Hana whispered "I don't-"

"Nothing will hurt you while I am there Miss Hana" Bee said, not cracking a smile "I am there to protect you and I will do anything to make sure that no harm comes to you. Jimin is the same with Hoseok, so don't worry. Just relax. It's the first time you are seeing Hell properly and not from your bedroom window"

"Is this a good idea? Maybe I can just stay in my room"

"You are the future queen. You need to experience Hell and you need to know what it looks like. It's very different to what humans envisioned. It's beautiful"

"I'm sure it is, but I don't want demons to try and kill me"

Bee sighed "Miss Hana, no one will kill you. You have my word. You better hurry up and come downstairs, Hoseok hasn't stopped talking to himself about how great he is and how you are going to say those 3 little words. I don't know what he is going on about, but it's starting to annoy me"

Hana sighed "Ok. I'm ready"

"Good. Let's go" Bee said and Hana followed her towards the large staircase "Miss Hana, your friends are going to be with us today. Of course they have a bodyguard each. Jaebum and Yugyeom. They aren't slaves anymore but are part of the household of King Hoseok"

"How comes?"

"Because they are your friends and Hoseok said that if they move from the palace, you'll be lonely" Bee laughed "Some badass king he is. The devil has the biggest soft spot for you and it's so funny. Not in a bad way, but demons that don't agree to this marriage don't realise that his feelings and protectiveness towards you is dangerous"

"I don't get it. Why is is so protective?"

"Because he loves you" Bee shrugged and Hana's heart leapt into her throat "Hoseok will never admit it though. He can't say the word love because he has never needed to feel the emotion or ever say it"

As they reached the bottom of the stairs, Bee grabbed Hana's arm pulling her to a stop.

"Now I want you to understand something Miss Hana" Bee said quietly "At first, I didn't agree to this marriage because the contract was forced on him and you are human. But after seeing Hoseok around you, I realised that you are what he needed. So, please...don't break him because if that happens, we are all doomed"
