can I say? I am attracted to sociopaths''.
''You are twisted Taehyung'' Jungkook chuckled when he heard his friend's story.
''I have to admit, I never thought a sentence like this would escape your lips Taehyung'' Jimin admitted and continued drinking his tea.
''Hey all I can say is that if Jungkook was a sociopath I would have already fucked him'' he said indiffirently, causing both males to choke on their drinks.
''Not if I had fucked you first...'' Jungkook exclaimed and his gaze averted to Jimin's weird expression, the moment he understood what he said.
''Oh my God''.
''I don't even know why I said that... I am sorry Jimin, I got a little carried away'' Jungkook mumbled and gulped the entire cup of coffee he was holding.
''No worries Jungkook...What people do in their beds has nothing to do with me'' he remarked and licked his lips.
''Oh my God, please... Those two drops of rum are doing their job, right ?'' Taehyung chuckled.
''Is he always like this?'' Jimin whispered to Jungkook who laughed shyly. He wasn't a bashful person because he barely even interacted with other humans. The delivery boy, Taehyung and Jin, and his sexual partner were the only people who had walked in his house this entire year.
On the contrary, despite his sweet demeanor, Jimin brought shivers to Jungkook's spine. Because Jungkook knew how he had created him. He had descibed him as a radiant, hot, kind person who also carries a dominant, serious aura sometimes. Someone who can't be tamed...Jimin seemed so kind and gentle though. It was that moment when Jungkook thought; what would happen if he tore the pages he had written? What if the words he carved, got erased?
''You really seem stressed today Jungkook'' Taehyung woke the man up from his trance.
''I am sorry, I had quite a rough day'' he lied and pleaded Taehyung not to say a thing.
''I told you not to come without informing him first! He is obviously tired'' Jimin sighed.
''No, no it's fine don't worry about it'' Jungkook reassured the man with the sublime smile.
''Look at us! Two gays and one bi...''.
''Too much information Taehyung! This was sooooo out of the blue! Why did you even say that?'' Jungkook shouted to the expansive blond.
''I got you right where I want you though'' Taehyung chuckled.
''Are you gay?'' Jimin asked Jungkook, his chestnut eyes scanning him from head to toe.
''Ummm... yeah. I mean my book '' The Shadows that bleed'' talks about a gay couple''.
''This means nothing... I am gay myself but you don't understand that through my job'' Jimin admitted as if he didn't care a less.
So Namjoon was right... And his book, his own words were right because he is certainly driving both males and females insane.
''How did this whole conversation go there?'' Jungkook attempted to break the ice and stood up to throw some more wood in the fireplace. When somebody knocked on his door.
''Jungkook, I thought you were unsociable'' Taehyung teased him and the young raven haired glared at him. ''Unless it's the delivery boy. Pizza sounds so delicious right now''.
''Shut up! I am just going to see who it is'' he yelled at his friend and walked to open the door. ''It's ten o'clock, what the hell?'' he murmured to himself and opened the door.

''Hi''.
''Oh my God, what the hell are you doing here?!'' Jungkook shouted and pushed the man out of the house, closing the door behind him.
''Chill! I just wanted to surprise you''.
''Why does everyone want to surprise me today? I' ve had enough!'' his lips drew back in a snarl.
''Who else surprised you?'' the man questioned confused.
''It doesn't matter ...just go! I told you I didn't want company today'' Jungkook hissed and tried to shove him away.
''Jungkook, don't be rude...I am wearing almost nothing underneath my coat and I am freezing so please, can we go inside?'' the man whispered lustfully to Jungkook's ear.
''Hoseok, I told you... I can't today'' he spoke, his voice almost inaudible.
''I will let you fuck me today, please... I want you Jungkook, I have been planning this since the last time we were together... I am so eager and waiting for you'' the black haired man bit the younger's earlobe, almost arousing a moan from Jungkook.
''I have guests today H...Ahh...Hoseok, I can't'' he continued denying the man's proposal.
''Get rid of them Jungkook...For me'' the man soughed and his hand reached for Jungkook's clothed member.
''Jungkoook! Are you okay out there?'' Jimin shouted from inside. The younger took a step back, releasing himself from Hoseok's grip. The mesmerizing smile Hoseok had at first, instantly fell and he quickly tightened the belt of his long cardigan around his waist.
''Do you have guests or ONE guest?'' he emphasized the word.
''No. They are friends of mine...And don't be like this...I am just asking you to leave for now. I will call you tomorrow''.
''Or whenever you are needy, right?'' Hoseok retorted.
''No...I will call you tomorrow. I promise...Sorry'' Jungkook apologized and placed his hand on the doorknob.
''Stick that sorry up your ass'' Hoseok stated in a flutter and with heavy steps walked back to his car.
With a soft sigh, Jungkook walked back inside trying to forget the incident and focus on Jimin. Taehyung was searching something on his phone while the older blond was staring at him worriedly.
''Are you alright?'' Jimin inquired delicately.
''Yeah, my neighbors are just really annoying'' he lied and sat back on his armchair.
''Sorry guys...I have to pay a short visit to the bathroom'' Taehyung stated and rapidly made his way upstairs.
''So...'' Jimin mumbled, his Adam's apple more prominent than ever. Jungkook's eyes were glued to the older's neck, his amber irises dilating because they loved the way it was bobbing.
Jungkook was no saint. And that exact moment, his mind thought of the most sinful acts.
''You really seem to drift away pretty easily'' Jimin teased him.
''Oh yeah... It happens quite often'' the younger claimed. ''Which one of the other books did you like?'' he asked the man, in an attemt to vanish the awkwardness between them and get to know him even better than he already was.
''I really liked the Highsmith one'' he pointed at a white book on the left side of the shelf.
''You mean ''The Talented Mr. Ripley'' ? I have never read this book...It was already in my library when my parents bought this place'' Jungkook added and went to grab the book. Yet, he hesitated...he really wanted to get the book for his guest but something held him back.

''Jungkook, is everything alright?'' Jimin stood up and moved closer to the man.
''What is going on?'' Taehyung asked the moment he walked down the stairs, still zipping his jeans.
''Nothing Taehyung...Jimin just liked another one of my books...May you give it to him, please?'' the raven haired asked woodenly.
''Is this thing you have with the left sides again?'' Taehyung rolled his eyes and rapidly grabbed the book, almost throwing it into Jimin's hug.
''I am sorry? Left sides?'' Jimin who was completely lost, inquired.
''Did you have to say that? When I confided it into you I never expected you to say it to everyone. No offense Jimin''.
''None taken. But please, could you explain it to me? I didn't even know that a phobia like this existed'' he stated curiously and crossed his legs.
''I didn't know either...Jungkook here told me about it'' Taehyung grinned when he saw Jungkook growing embarrassed.
''Don't laugh about this, okay? I have a fear called...It's called Sinistrophobia. Basically poeple who feel uncomfortable with left sides...It's not like I am afraid...I just find them sweltering, that's all'' he explained. ''You must think I am pretty stupid'' he sighed and placed his head between his hands.
''I do''.
''Oh shut up Taehyung...I mean, I have never heard something like this but we are all afraid of something. My favorite color is red but I am afraid of blood'' Jimin laughed yet Jungkook didn't feel more comfortable.
''Yes, red had to be his favorite color. The color of strawberries and blood. The color of sins''.
''It's just that nobody has a phobia like this'' he shut his eyes timidly.
''I don't get it...I am standing on the left side of the house. Are you afraid of me?'' Taehyung questioned the younger.
''No Tae..I just don't like things that are on the left side...How am I suppose to explain myself? I prefer placing things that I frequently use on the right side of the table or my cupboards. I don't care if the cupboard itself is on the left side...I just don't want my personal things to be on the left. The books I have read are tilting on the right side, my typewriter is on the right side of the table...'' he started to list random objects.
''I get it, you don't need to say anything further. It clearly makes you uncomfortable so let it be'' Jimin reassured him and patted his back causing Jungkook to flinch.
''How do you use your left hand then?'' Taehyung wondered, still amazed by the fact that someone can have a phobia like this.
''I am not afraid of my hand Taehyung! That would be so weird''.
''Let's change the conversation. This isn't something we should discuss in our first meeting. Thank you for giving me the book Jungkook, I will give it back when I finish... And I am sorry that I am saying it but it's getting really late and I have to go to work tomorrow'' Jimin nagged.
''But we barely even talked...'' Jungkook complained. This whole meet up was supposed to happen so he could gain some new information about Jimin's personality. And all they did talk about was random topics.
''We are here since eight-thirty. It's eleven now'' Jimin added and checked his watch.
''Oh my God...It's already eleven! We must get going'' Taehyung ordered and began to cover himself up with his jacket and his gloves. Jungkook stared at his blond friend with pleading eyes as if he asking the man to stay a little longer. The handsome blond approached him and whispered in his ear:
''I barely know the guy Jungkook. The fact that I convinced him to come here with me- in a stranger's house- is pretty massive but I can't make him stay any longer. He has to go to work really early in the morning...Look at the bright side though. He borrowed one of your books so he will have to see you again eventually'' he assured the man.
Jungkook looked at the hypnotic male wearing his cardigan and his hat, his delicate hand movements enchanting him. Jimin truly was a tantalising creature...and he was real. He was standing precisely next to him, alive and breathing. What a gorgeous human being he was...
''Jungkook, would you mind giving me your number? I will need to contact you for the book or maybe you know... talk some time'' Jimin muttered and his eyes glinted.
''Oh sure, sure'' Jungkook began to search for one of his business cards. ''Here'' he smiled and handed it over to the blond.
''Let's go Taehyung... Bye Jungkook... It was lovely meeting you and I am sorry we visited you without you actually having invited us'' he chuckled, his eyes never leaving Taehyung.
Jimin saw the man's empyrean smile and waved at him from the doorstep.
''See you around Jungkook. Thanks for the book'' he sang and ran to Taehyung's car.
''Goodnight Jimin''.
The moment he closed the door, he ran to his window and saw the two males in the car. Taehyung must have been showing something funny to Jimin because the man was giggling non stop. For a man who wasn't really out-going, Taehyung and him were looking extremely comfortble with one another.
And with these thoughts, Jungkook ran to his typewriter.
''I knew his appearance, his favorite color, the sound of his voice, his peculiar traits...But am I able to control his entire life? I made him return back to the coffee shop this morning...Can I make him do something else?'' he asked to himself.
Adding some ink into the machine, he started to type, the beautiful, familiar name.
''Park Jimin will call Jeon Jungkook tomorrow at one o'clock. He will compliment him about the book he borrowed. He will be wearing blue tomorrow''.
He loved to be in control.
But he didn't want to control someone's life.
Hopefully his random thoughts would just stay in his papers this time around.

A power progression fantasy with a main character who trains constantly but who lacks purpose, direction, and motivation. The world he lives in, however, is not a peaceful one. As obstinate as Han can be, with all of humanity edging slowly towards annihilation, will he truly be able to avoid becoming entangled in the affairs of the deities fighting over his new universe? This story is a slow burn rather than a fast paced action/adventure, and is centered around the perspective of a main character who struggles with depression, apathy, anhedonia, and asociality. This world was doomed well before he arrived, and he knows it. Rather than following the traditional hero model, he just wants to train for its own sake, and to scrape out occasional moments of happiness in a ruined and dying world.
