I lock the bedroom door, flopped onto the bed and cried into the pillow. I hated Taehyung soooo much.

How could my first love betray me like this? Why would he embarrass me and be willing to sleep in the room next to me, with someone who he cheated on me with? Am I really that unappealing? That undeserving of any love?

     I heard gentle knocking against the door.

     "Y/n, can I please come in. I think it's time for me to explain everything," Taehyung begged.

     I sobbed into the pillow more. "NO!! Go into the bed...room..next...door..with.. JIMBO!!" I yelled between breaths.

      "Please open the door. You need to hear my side of the story!" Taehyung called.

     "Never!!" I declared.

   "I am so sorry..." I heard Jimin's voice from the next room. I was still laying down when I felt someone poke me on my back.

    Huh... who could possibly be in my room when the door was locked? Oh, wait a darn diddly minute...

    "JIMIN, did you use your powers to go through the wall?" I yelled and got up from the bed after the person's poke. I saw Jimin in front of me.

     Jimin guiltily nods. "Yeah, but I had to."

     I grabbed my pillow in an attempt to defend myself. "Get OUT!!!!!!!" I roared like a lion, pointing to the wall.

Jimin refuses. "No, I can't. You need to know some things before we even continue this mission," he pleaded.

I sigh and rub my eyes. "Okay... what...what could I possibly need to know ?"

"First... I'm really sorry about the, uh, incident between Taehyung and I that disturbed you.."

"Yeah, the kiss. Well the makeout session in the closet. It disturbed me a lot. Anything else?" I crossed my arms.

Jimin sighed deeply. "You should know... there's a lot of history between Taehyung and I..."

I snorted. "Okay, and so what?"

"I need to tell you all of it. But first... I think you need a hug," Jimin held his arms out.

        I cackled. "You really think I'd want to hug a dirty douchebag like you? I can assure you I'm good."

Jimin pouted and held out his arms again. "Come on.. I know you need it."

      I looked away. "Pfft.. I really don't."

I opened one of my eyes after a few and saw Jimin was still holding his arms out. I roll my eyes.

"Fine." I unwillingly hugged him.

      Just like when I met him, his fragrance was more exquisite than a garden of flowers. And something about him made me feel like I could trust him again. And with that, I finally let go of my difficult demeanor. Without even realizing, I began sobbing into his protective hold.

      "Wh-why am I crying in front of someone I barely know? Why is it so easy for me to cry in your arms?" I ask.

Jimin pats my hair. "Because I'm your assigned guardian that has to protect you. You're supposed to feel comfortable around me."

"Protect me? You made my boyfriend cheat on me! How is that protecting me in any way?!" I exclaim while still sobbing against his chest.

"Well, that uh- wasn't supposed to be apart of the program. It sorta just happened. Like I told you a few minutes ago, me and Taehyung had a lot of history before the incidents of last night..."

I let go and walk a few steps backwards. I wipe my eyes with the back of my hands. "Then tell me..." I demand. "Tell me the story between you and Taehyung. I deserve to know."

        Jimin scratches the back of his neck and coughs awkwardly. "Uh, sure. It all started when-"

      "Hold on," I state. Then, I open the door. Taehyung was leaning on the door and eavesdropping, so he falls into the room. He picks himself up and stands.

      "Y/n, I'm so sorry. I wish I could make it up to you. I'm a terrible person, well half-devil half-human thing. You can slap me on the face right here," he gestures to his cheek.

      I roll my eyes. "Taehyung, you're being ridiculous-"

       He closes his eyes. "Make it quick. My face is too beautiful to be ruined, but I'll let you do whatever you want." He purses his lips.

      I exclaim. "Taehyung, hurting you won't make me feel better!"

     He opens his eyes. "It won't?" He cocks his head.

      "Yeah, the damage is done. You even have the power to reverse time, but I still wouldn't change what happened. I mean it would be nice if you could reverse time before the kidnapping-"

      Now it was Taehyung's turn to roll his eyes. "You know I would if I could. My powers are extremely limited right now. Anyways, how could I possibly make it up to you for hurting you like this?"

       "Just tell me the history between you and Jimin. I deserve to know. Perhaps, knowing the history between you guys will give me peace for you cheating on me."

        Taehyung nods and looks towards Jimin. "Okay, where do we start, Jimbo?"

       "The very best place to start. At the very beginning. When we met." Jimin declares.

Jimin and Taehyung begin telling me the story of their relationship and I'm transfixed with their words.

It all started four years ago, when Taehyung was doing his weekly soul pick-up from Earth. Taehyung was just recently assigned this job from his father. As a young adolescent, he was nervous on Earth. It had been years since he had visited.

As Taehyung was walking on the sidewalk, amazed by his surroundings, he saw someone that astonished him even him even more.

The eye-catching boy had blue hair and a simple white collared shirt and slacks. His fancy outfit completely contrasted from his outrageous hair. This juxtaposition made Taehyung chuckle out loud.

"Hey, what's so funny?" The stranger called towards Taehyung from across the street.

Taehyung gulped. Was this specimen from Earth actually speaking to him?

He bit his lip. "Uh, nothing..." Taehyung managed to meekly reply.

The young stranger crossed the street to get closer to towards Taehyung. He was only two feet away from him now. Although he was a few inches shorter, Taehyung noticed how muscular his body was. Immediately, Taehyung's heart began beating so fast.

Why am I getting so nervous from a meekly human?, Taehyung wondered. This feeling has never happened to me before.

The boy smirked and Taehyung's heart drummed with greater speed. What does this homo sapien exactly want?!

"Just tell me what you were laughing at," the muscular guy crossed his arms and raised his brow. It's like he read Taehyung's question from his thoughts.

"I-I don't know..." Taehyung stammered.

"Is it because of my blue hair?" The young boy smiled, revealing the most beautiful eye crinkles Taehyung has ever seen.

        Taehyung scratched the back of his neck, feeling nervous from both the creature before him and the question he asked.

       "Y-Yeah..." Taehyung looked down, avoiding his piercing gaze.

       The boy lifted Taehyung's chin up. "Hey, don't look down. At least you were honest with me." He doesn't let go of Taehyung's chin, and they were consumed with the mutual eye contact.

         Taehyung decides to take advantage of the proximity, and inhale the boy's scent. It was just like he imagined it would be- intoxicating, just like his gaze.

       "Do you wanna know a secret?" The boy asked Taehyung, while still firmly grasping his chin. Taehyung gulped from nervousness. How could a complete stranger be willing to reveal a secret when they JUST met? But Taehyung still nodded, willing to risk everything to know anything about this guy.

       The boy moved close to Taehyung's neck. His heavy breath caused light goosebumps that ran across every inch of Taehyung's body.

           "My secret is..." the stranger says in a low voice. "My hair color is naturally blue and it's been this way since birth."

       Taehyung threw his head back and laughed. He laughed like he hasn't been able to for months. "Ha, good one. Whewww, you almost got me there." Taehyung wiped a tear that come from chuckling so hard.

        The stranger cockily grinned, revealing his charming eye crinkles again. "It's not a lie. You'll believe me soon."

      Taehyung crossed his arms, challenging him. "Why and how should I believe you?"

        The stranger waved for Taehyung to get closer. Taehyung placed his ear next to the man's lips again. This time he wasn't as nervous, because he thought the weirdo would tell another joke.

         "It's not that difficult for you to believe that my hair color is natural..." The stranger whispers. "Because I know you aren't fully human."

AUTHOR'S NOTE: IM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE I had such a huge writer's block. I had vmin's romance planned in the story since the first chapters, but I was lost at what exactly their flashback story would be 😬 Their flashback will be continued in the next chapter. Also, although this fanfic isn't done anytime soon, it will come to end and I guess that's why I've been procrastinating on it??

BUT I'd love if u guys checked out a historical fanfiction I️ made, called The Cowardly Warrior on my profile!
