I LOVE YOU ALL
Hehe just wanted to tell you all that

Thanks so much for reading, your comments make me want to keep writing ❤️💜

I also wanted to possibly clear something up, I haven't used Jungkooks name yet because the other sins don't know his name! I use it when it is in his perspective though.

That's all, enjoy!

Taehyung continues to stare down Pride as seemed to wrestle with his thoughts.

"What never had someone talk back to you?" The shorter says, wincing slightly as his broken finger brushed his side.

Pride glances up at the boy, with an expression Taehyung had never seen...

sadness.

It lasts for a second but Taehyung caught it, sympathy.

Confusion covered Tae's features as the two boys hold eye contact.

"Just leave." Pride says, face morphing into stern frustration, but voice staying much softer.

The ravenette studies Taehyung's bewildered expression and sighs.

"Go." He says, much harsher this time, standing straight towering over the other.

Taehyung's mouth forms a tight line and crosses his arms, wanting to question the Sin further, wanting excuses from the confusing male. But he doesn't say anything. He just turns and leaves.

Pride's shoulders drop and he walks slowly back to the mirror, placing his forehead softly onto its surface.

He stares at his own reflection, as if he were trying to look into his own mind to reveal what he was feeling.

"What's wrong with you now Jungkook?" He mutters softly to himself, voice almost unrecognizable even to himself.

A small drip can be heard against the mirror, followed by another, and another.

Pride's back trembles as his hands raise to support himself against the mirror, audibly sniffing as tears roll down his face.

"What's wrong with you?" He questions himself again.

His knees grow tired and he lowers himself into a ball on the floor.

"What the hell Jungkook? Why are you crying... why are you crying... why does he affect you so much?"

His voice is soft, and quiet. Eyebrows drawing together tightly as his mind races at 100 miles an hour.

To say Jungkook is overwhelmed would be the biggest understatement of the century. His emotions are crashing like waves against his skull, causing a headache to begin, throbbing hard.

His tears begin the slow and he wipes them away with his sleeve, gathering himself enough to drag himself to a chair.

He draws a long breath in and throws his head back before yelling in frustration.

He continues to yell for a solid few minutes. Trying to release some of the tension from his head.

Why does he bug you so much?!

You deal with the others just fine.

You may not exactly be friends but at least you don't BREAK THEIR FINGERS JUNGKOOK!

What is it? What is it about him that makes you lose your mind?

Are you intimidated by him?

"No... no I'm not." The dark haired male answers his own invasive thoughts.

"He's just... weird, different. I feel like I just lose it whenever I see him."

He places his face into his palms and rests his elbows on his knees, dark hair falling gently forward into his eyes, like a velvet curtain drawn over two onyx gems.

His mind wanders to his childhood, though you could barely call it that.

He remembers following neatly behind his father, wearing a full suit by the age of 6.

He remembers being brought to every meeting his father attended, he remembers the stern, cold way he spoke to the other Sins at the time.

He remembers the beatings, the blood, the cries to stop, and the orders to shut up.

He had to be perfect.

He was going to be the next head sin.

He could never mess up, he couldn't cry.

"Never show your emotions, suppress them until you forget you have them. Emotions are just weaknesses you haven't dealt with." His father used to say.

That was the philosophy Jungkook had grown up with, the philosophy that had been engrained in his mind.

He couldn't have any weaknesses, physical or emotional.

When Jungkook turned 9 years old, his father sent him away to train with the guards.

His father also made sure to tell the guards to never go easy on Jungkook, despite his age.

So the young boy grew, and became just like his father. The only role model he had in his life.

The maids used to scurry away into corners when the young prince would walk down the halls. By the age of 13 a smile never passed through the boys lips, neither did many words unless they were commands or "yes father."

He officially became Pride, the newest head sin on his 18th birthday, when his father was assassinated in his sleep by the Wrath at the time.

Wrath was then replaced with Namjoon.

Namjoon was the kind of man Jungkook wanted to be when he was a little boy.

But that little boy was gone.

One by one the sins were replaced until only Lust's spot need be filled.

The others all tried to get through Pride's hostile demeanor, but none could, not without threats of pain.

Envy was especially annoying the head sin, because of the boys constantly following and nagging others, reporting every thing they did to Pride.

Jungkook dealt with the annoyance mostly because it was a way to keep an eye on everyone without needing to speak to them at all.

Jungkook didn't want friends. He didn't need anyone else. Friends just liabilities.

Until Taehyung came along.

From the first moment Jungkook set his eyes on boy-when they made eye contact at the ceremony of sins- he felt something shift in him.

There was this... aura around him.

Jungkook could see perfectly well that the boy had been starved and battered around a fair bit, but his eyes-

Those eyes, held so much defiance and so much desire to survive, it was powerful.

He liked those eyes, he liked them because in them were the power and emotions Jungkook wished he had had when he was a boy- defiance against his father, the ability to make choices in his own life.

He felt so drawn the boy, it confused him.

It pained him to feel such things because so much of his brain and morals had been corrupted by his upbringing, it felt like something was breaking inside him.

At one point Jungkook wanted to 'break' Taehyung because the blonde's influence on him made him feel weak.

Now...

Taehyung was the one breaking Jungkook.
