TWENTY-TWO
Hana picked at her hangnail and tried to understand what Hoseok had told her about humans stepping into Hell. She looked up at Yoongi who had fallen asleep on her bed, and Taehyung was listening to music. Jimin had gone back to the human world for a few of their personal belongings, so Taehyung had his iPod and he was miming the words to the song with his eyes closed.
She wondered how they could take the news so well, unless they were good at hiding their feelings. Hana sighed and ran her hands though her hair. She rested her head back on the wall and closed her eyes, remembering Hoseok's voice.
"Once a human, an alive human, crosses the threshold to Hell, they lose all human abilities" He told them "The ability to die like a human"
"So we can't die?" Yoongi asked.
"Of course you can die" Hoseok said "In fact, why don't I show you how you can die"
"Your highness" Jimin said "Yoongi and Taehyung, you are no longer human and you can no longer live in the human world. You are classes as demons, yet you don't have the full power of demons. Of course, you can learn the power but I'm not sure that is such a good idea since you weren't born as demons"
"Then what about our family?" Taehyung asked "Are you saying that we can never see them again?"
Jimin sighed "Yes. That is what we are saying. It is for the best and-"
"This was against our will!" Yoongi shouted "How can you expect us to just sit back and-"
"Your family won't understand" Hoseok said "They also won't believe you. But, if you want to go the human world, then be my guest"
Hana's eyes went wide when Hoseok clicked his fingers, to reveal a large black door. He pushed the door open and Taehyung gasped.
"That's my room"
"Go ahead" Hoseok said "Go back to the human world"
"Hoseok, you-" Jimin started.
"But I will tell you this" Hoseok said, glaring at the two boys "You won't survive in the human world. You will die within a week because you are a demon. The human world is very different to Hell and isn't strong enough to support demons"
"What...what about my family?" Yoongi asked "They will think I'm missing"
"That isn't my problem" Hoseok shrugged and the door vanished "Hana...you have also lost the human aspect, but with you it's different"
"Why?" Hana asked quietly.
"Because you are part of a devils contract" Hoseok folded his arms "You are now a demon, but when you marry me you will change"
"I don't want to"
Hoseok sighed "You will change whether you like it or not. I don't have a say in the matter, it's just how the contract works"
"What will I change into?"
Hoseok looked over at Jimin before turning to Hana "A devil"
Hana reopened her eyes when there was a knock on the door. She didn't move until she heard Jimin's voice.
"Hana...Yoongi...Taehyung" He said "Lunch is ready"
"I'm not leaving this room" Hana said and Jimin knocked on the door again "Why can't you leave me alone?"
"Miss Hana" Jimin said, "You haven't eaten for a while and that isn't good. You need to come and eat something"
"I'd rather starve"
"Please don't be difficult, Miss Hana" Jimin said "If it makes any difference, Hoseok isn't in the palace. He has gone on an errand"
Hana sighed and got to her feet to open the door. Jimin smiled softly at her and he stepped out the way to let her pass. Taehyung noticed the door was open and slapped Yoongi awake.
"Where are you taking her?" Taehyung asked running to grab Hana.
"To lunch" Jimin said "You both need to eat as well. Follow me and I will show you to where we are to dine"
Yoongi grumbled all the way down to where the food was, and sat down in front of a big plate of food. Taehyung was tucking into the food and Yoongi slowly picked at his plate. Whereas Hana stared at the food, not wanting to touch it.
"Miss Hana, you need to eat" Jimin said almost begging "Please can you eat?"
"It isn't poison?" Hana asked.
"Of course not" Jimin said "Why would anyone want to poison you?"
Hana bit into the food and her stomach let out a loud roar, making Jimin chuckle. Her cheeks went bright red and she carried on eating.
"Miss Hana, would you like a tea?"
"No thanks" She mumbled "Why have you suddenly started calling me that?"
Jimin put a drink in front of her, then in front of the two boys who mumbled a thanks. Jimin sat back down and looked over at Hana.
"Because you are my future queen" Jimin said with a smile "I don't want to disrespect you in anyway and I am here to make sure that you stay happy and safe"
"I need to ask you a question"
"Then ask away" Jimin said lifting his mug to his lips.
"What's the deal with Hoseok and Jin?"
Jimin sprayed his drink across the table and looked over at her "Miss Hana, that is a conversation that shouldn't be addressed at the table"
"Why not?" Hana asked "Was this Jin guy supposed to be king and I was supposed to be his, right? So what changed?"
Jimin sighed "Miss Hana, it really isn't my place to say...maybe you should ask Hoseok. He will tell you"
"Yeah right" Yoongi scoffed "That guy doesn't care for anyone else but himself. What makes you think that he will tell Hana what happened?"
"Do not speak bad of my king" Jimin said glaring at Yoongi "Hoseok is the greatest king that Hell has ever seen. He may not seem like the caring type, but he has put a stop to all wars and conflict across Hell. He has given jobs to demons who were going to end their lives. He has punished those who deserve it and if any demon in Hell need help, he will try to help. Whether it be a demon from the East or the South. Hoseok cares for Hell and I will strike you down if you so much utter a bad word about him again"
"But he treats you like shit, yet you still want to follow someone like him? It doesn't make any sense"
"He is the only one who is able to protect you" Jimin got to his feet "I suggest you don't speak another word unless it's to compliment the food before you"
Yoongi ran his tongue over his teeth and got up from the table "I'm done"
"Baby!"
Hana's eyes shot open when she heard Hoseok calling her. She jumped to her feet to run but it was too late. Hoseok had grabbed hold of her, smashing her face against his chest. His hands running up and down her head.
"I'm so happy you are eating!" He said and pulled her cheeks "How was it? I got the best chefs around to cook you something. Was it nice? Jimin, did she eat properly? And what about those boys? Did they eat?"
Jimin looked over at Yoongi, who was staring at his hands "Yes. They ate properly"
"I have a present for you baby" Hoseok said pushing her away gently "I know you hate me but I thought I would make it better by-"
"I don't hate you" Hana said rubbing the top of her arm "When have I said I hated you?"
Hoseok blinked a few times and he cleared his throat "But I thought that...oh...well, never mind. I have a present to cheer you up!"
"Your highness" Jimin said rushing forward "Maybe this isn't such a good idea"
"Stop worrying over something so stupid" Hoseok said and he clapped his hands. The doors opened and two men came in pulling something large into the room "Baby, I got you a puppy!"
Hana's eyes were wide and her mouth slightly parted as she stared at this 'puppy' being pulled into the room.
"H-Hoseok...what the...what is that?"
