The disgustingly horrendous monster stares at us with a wide grin on his face. Shudders flew down my spine. Sunny curses under her breath, making a run for us. The monster stomps her way as she hurries to untie the six of us.

The moment she unties Namjoon, he rushes to help Jin. However, the monster reached both of them before they could do anything else. Mister lets out a witch-like cackle, figure glowing at our failure.

"Are you idiots dumb, or dumb? You really thought you could escape? Didn't I read the rules clear in your face?" he claps his hands, folding them afterward. The monster had Sunny in one hand and Namjoon in the other.

Despite getting captured, Sunny's hold on the guards doesn't fade. The enormous monster sits in the middle of the hallway, right behind the four blinded figures. Obediently, he waits for his master's orders.

"All of you knew this would happen, didn't you?" Mister paces up and down in front of us, his tone light and high-spirited. Mister turns his body, eyeing Hoseok's zoned out figure. Despite the hood, you could tell that the corner of his lips had tugged up into a smirk.

Every part of the hood was evil. Pure evil. "Ah, I see you know my pet. He's my good boy," he lets out a chuckle before continuing. "He brings me new pieces of children's flesh and body parts every week." Mister taunts Hoseok, who now had a tear rolling down his cheeks.

Hoseok growls at the spirit in the hood, but it only came out as a whimper. His eyes flashed a fuming red, the sound of his teeth gritting could be heard miles away. He squirms against the ropes, but to no avail. "I need you to pay attention, dear Hoseok. Who knows what'll happen next? History might repeat, darling. My precious boy might go for y/n."

Hoseok stops fumbling and the tension in the air rises. It was like someone paused the television show. None of you moved, shock tickling your nerves. "W-what?" Hoseok stutters, doubt pulling his eyebrows together. His breathing got uneven as his gaze travels from you to Mister.

"That's right, Hoseok. Honestly, I thought you would've known better. After all, you've been searching for her, your whole life." another snicker left Mister's lips. Oh, how you wanted to just staple his mouth shut so no more bullshit can pass through.

You felt your heart stop. Blood rushed to your head as a shrill ringing filled your eardrums. What should you call it? Destiny? Fate? An ill-fated destiny?

Not only were you Taehyung's sister and Jimin's ex-girlfriend, but you were Hoseok's past sister too. It was definitely an ill-fated destiny.

The room was once again filled with silence. "Do you want to know why I took your sister, Hoseok? Do you want to know what happened to her?" Mister grins - an ugly, sinister one. Hoseok shudders, and so does Yoongi and Namjoon.

Vaguely, they explained what had happened when they went downtown. They knew. Mister was trying to torture them. "Because she had really pretty eyes. Her eyes were beautiful, and I wanted them." He answers, not bothering to wait for Hoseok's answer. "So I got my lovely pet to go up and get her. So I could devour her shining, glittery eyes." Mister walks to his throne, sitting down with a leg crossed over to the other.

"You psychopath!" Hoseok shrieks, a dark hue of red stretching through his face. Unwillingly, another tear fell down his cheeks. "W-what, h-how could you do that? She did nothing to you! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!"

Venom laced through Hoseok's voice as he screamed his lungs out at the smirking son of a dog. "I'm the heir to this throne. I can do whatever I want, my boy."

"Now, now. I'm far from done. I haven't yet told you what happened. The way her screams sounded like, the way her eyeballs tasted like." he stands up, making his way towards his pet, where Namjoon and Sunny had given up on trying to escape its hold.

Mister grips onto Sunny's chin, raising her eyes to meet his. "She has pretty eyes, too." was his statement. Jin grunts, his strangled voice echoing in the confined room. A string of curses rolled down his tongue. "Too bad she's god's property," Mister sighs, walking back to his throne.

"Her screams sounded like heaven," he reminisces, hand disappearing into his hood. Hoseok's head drops, chin colliding with his collarbone. His shoulders were trembling subtly, a few wet drops darkening the colour of the carpet.

"I was there too, you know? Did you think I wouldn't notice you were watching? I was planning to devour the three of you right after, and you made it way easier. Gosh, your sister. She was delicious. She tasted better than the other kids. Her blood tasted like wine, her limbs were like well-cooked steak. Her-"

"Stop."

Hoseok purses his lips, teeth sucking his inner cheeks. As he raises his head, you caught a glance of his bloodshot eyes. "You got it. You got what you want. Defeat. That's what you want, isn't it? Then I'll sacrifice myself. If you're going to banish anyone from this world, let me be the representative."

"Hoseok," Namjoon growls out his name, a tone he has never used was now on display. His voice was lower than usual, carrying a sense of fierceness and seriousness. "Don't do this," Yoongi said, voice softening into a whisper. It was Yoongi's turn. A tear slipped out from the corner of his eyes.

Something told you that wasn't the only tear he was going to shed today. "No. As the oldest, let me do it. Take me and leave them." Jin spoke up, voice firm as ever. All heads turned to him.

Sunny was the first to react, hands reaching out for her brother, only to be pulled back by the monster. A sob left her lips as she whispered a mantra of nos.

"Come on, where the action? There can't only be sacrificial words, can there? Get up, fight. Oh wait, your hands are tied." he laughs viciously, mockery in his tone. "We're not acting in a drama." you spat out, tired of the constant stinking poop that flew out of his mouth.

Mister snarls at you, raising his stick. Before he could utter another word, Yoongi cuts in, adding on to the 'sacrificial words' as quoted from Mister.

Gently placing the tip of his stick onto the floor, his head turns towards Yoongi. "Too late. I've already decided who I want to banish first."

The beatings of our hearts could be heard in the air as we waited for his answer. Pain throbbed in your heart. Either way, you're going to lose one of them, your second family.

"I pick Hoseok."
