"True love is sacrifice,
It is in giving,not in getting,
In losing,not in gaining
In realizing,not in possessing
That we love."
Taehyung's POV
I woke up next to jungkook.We had to sleep on the couch as jimin kicked us out from the bedroom.for the past two weeks jungkook had been living with us in our apartment.the previous night I did nothing but mesmerised the beauty of the police officer.'damn those features' I thought to myself only to get a reply from jimin.
"Whose features are you thinking about tahyung?the female officer's?"that was the moment I knew I fucked up.I was so into thinking about that lady that I didn't notice jimin's presence.
"We got both a whole book about our secret and a love struck taehyung"jimin told.
"Who the hell told you that I got a crush on the officer?"I told while defending myself.
"Whenever our eyes met for the past few hours you were only thinking about her,poor that Hyerin girl who has a crush on you"he told.
"Whatever"I told him while ignoring him and going to the kitchen.
"Tae,Kook is a better cook than you so please in the name of Hades don't touch the kitchen items"jimin told while laughing and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Kook we have a book to look at remember"jimin said while patting jungkook's back.
"Five more minutes grandma"jungkook told in a sleepy voice and I couldn't help but roll on the floor laughing.
"I am not your grandma bitch,im jimin hyung"jimin told while hitting jungkook on the head and waking him up.jungkook sat on the couch and started to rub his eyes like a kid.'Is that the same man who taught me how to flirt?'I thought to myself.
"Tae hyung,don't you think jimin hyung suddenly got violent out of nowhere?"jungkook asked turning to face me and I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah you have to be violent when you have two criminals under your roof"jimin told sassily.
"Under my roof I think,since this apartment is under my name"I told while washing the dishes to make some ramen.'I hope that three of us won't die from a cancer after eating this much of instant food'.jungkook stood up from the couch and went inside the bedroom and came out with the book in his arms.jimin and jungkook sat on the couch and waited for me.
"Can we wait till I make the ramen?"I asked but I only got two annoyed faces as a reply.
"Alright,I understood the assignment"I sang to myself as I sat between jungkook and jimin.I took the book to my hands from jungkook and took a big breathe before opening it but sadly I couldn't open the book.I put my whole strength but I couldn't open it.I turned to jimin and then to jungkook only to meet up with their disapointed eyes.I again tried to open but I stopped as we heard a old male voice.
"In the name of Merlin,what are you trying to do?Oh heavens touching something that's not yours is a crime you know"the old voice told and I dropped the book to the ground.In that moment all I could think about was the church.I closed my eyes and brought my hands together to pray'IM HELLA SORRY FOR READING TOO MUCH SMUT AND WATCHING FIFTY SHADES OF GREY PLEASE FORGIVE ME GOD' I thought to myself.I opened my eyes again to look around to capture some ghost but there was none.
"In the name of merlin may I know how you got access to our house?"jimin asked while waiting for someone to show up.
"Uh oh,look who we have here,the noble womanizer along with his two friends,silly and foolish Emerald and master Amethyst"I guess he told that to jimin.but I had no idea about who he was referring to with Emerald and Amethyst.
"Womanizer?what you little bitch who are you to call me a womanizer?"jimin shouted back at the book.
"Oh Leveena what have happened to this ball called earth?always curse people"the voice replied back and jungkook was annoyed all the time.
"Mister I don't know who Leveena is but may I know who the fuck can open this book?"jungkook finally spoke up.
"Oh master,why not try opening the book?"the voice told'master?why is he calling kook master?'I thought to myself.
"Good grief merlin,Im a womanizer and he is a master wow"jimin sounded so angry.
"Do you know that using a name of such a powerful magician like that is a crime?what did you nobels learn at widow's temple?"the voice asked us back and all three of us were clueless as hell.
"Mister I have no idea about that place,merlin or leveena so would you like to give me a chance to open this?"jungkook asked politely.however jungkook always had this respect to elders other than me and jimin which made people like him a lot.wait I forgot to add miss jiwoo,he didn't respect her as well.
"Let me take you on a little ride to the past,you will know how we met then,allow me master"the voice told.
"I allow"jungkook told like a royal.suddenly the whole house got dark and I felt like I fall down.I opened my eyes only to get blinded by the golden lights.I looked to my right to find jungkook and jimin on the ground as well.It was like we were in a library.before we even could process where we were,we heard footsteps behind us.we looked behind but what we saw next almost made me faint.we freaking saw a jungkook,different from the jungkook we know.he was like straight from moon lovers.had a long hair like in the historical dramas,had a sword attached to his waist.his eyes were searching for something and he seemed like he was in a problem.he was endlessly biting his lip and he looked so sad.I looked to my right to see the jungkook I know having his mouth hung open in disbelief.
"Im gay for myself I guess"jungkook told while almost drooling over the hot old self of him meanwhile jimin looked like he was going to marry the old jungkook.maybe I was too into the polic officer I didn't get any gay feelings.
"Well look who we have here?young master amethyst"one girl said to the long haired man.
"So am I amethyst?"jungkook whispered to us but we chose to ignore the brat.
"Well does this mean,we are watching the past like in a theatre watching a movie?"jimin told finally understanding after light years.
"It's a beautiful sight to see you in the library cause you aren't a regular visiter here"another girl told but the man who was also jungkook gave them a smile and left them.
"Look at that stubborn brat,master jimin would never treat a woman like that"the first girl pouted and told.I looked to my right to see a jimin who was about to puke.
"Believe me I don't even want to meet my old self now"jimin told in disgust.
"But young master amethyst's stubbornness is what made me fell harder for him.the sight of him makes my knees weak"the second girl told.I smirked at jungkook who was a blushing mess.
"PORN IS BETTER THAN THIS"jungkook screamed out of nowhere.
"Indeed honey,porn is worth watching,not like this shit"jimin told.'can't they be a little romantic atleast?' I thought to myself.Three of us stood up from the spot and followed amethyst.he stopped at a place and looked around.
"Can I sit on this chair and watch the drama?"jungkook asked while touching a chair but he couldn't touch it.his hand went through the chair like he was some kind of ghost.All three of us forgot to focus on the amethyst person until we heard a big thud.we noticed a book on the floor.amethyst took a step back,looked around again and picked the book.
"In the name of Xian,I wish I can get the power of the universe to open this book up in order to save my brother"he told while putting his palm on the book suddenly a purple light came out from his palm but it stopped suddenly leaving him in disapointement.
"Oh no boy,you can't open this book with such a simple breaking spell like that"here we had that old man's voice again.
"Merlin,who are you?"amethyst asked from the voice.atleast he wasn't praying like I did.
"Uh oh,I think it shouldn't be one of your business,and the right way to open this book is to answer my tricky tricky riddle"the voice told.
"Easy then let's get into it"amethyst told.
"I know you are one of the guardians but I never knew you are this silly"the voice mocked him.
"Are they referring to guardians of the galaxy?"jungkook asked.
"Sure,they are marvel fans"I told and rolled my eyes to mock the jungkook I know.
"Boy,you need to sacrifice something to get something you know"the voice told and amethyst nodded.
"What should I sacrifice?"amethyst asked.
"Your life"the moment we heard it both jimin and I turned to jungkook with big eyes,the voice told it like it's something so casual.
"DOES THIS MAN THINK THAT SACRIFICING YOUR LIFE IS A EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY THINGY?"jimin screamed again.
"I have to meet with the same fate if taehyung dies as well"amethyst told and I again looked at jungkook.
"But why would you want to be his reason for death?,think careful boy"the voice told.
"Either way I have to die.I have to sacrifice my life which will lead to my brothers' deaths and if I fail to get something from here,taehyung dies.that means all seven of us will,Im here to save him,to get the forbidden magic spell from the book,but you are telling me to sacrifice my life"amethyst told.his little talk confirmed the information we guessed.
"So we are right,if one of us dies it means others will also die"jungkook stated.
"So does that mean if hoseok died back then,we would also have died?"jimin asked.
"We can't confirm as we don't know whether it relates to our present or not"I told.
"Nothing to confirm hyung,it relates.we all feel pain when one of us are in pain so it's true"jungkook told and it made me shook.we again focused on the old man's voice as he started to speak.
"NO IDIOT.YOU ONLY HAVE TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE IF YOU GIVE A WRONG ANSWER TO MY RIDDLE.FROM SACRIFICING YOUR LIFE I MEANT SENDING YOU TO HELL"the voice said.
"But Im doing this with good intentions,Im not summoning a demon or something"amethyst told.
"Well not everyone comes here with good intentions boy so try the riddle before the demon king can take over emerald's body"amethyst was quite surprised to hear it.
"How do you kn-"he was cut off.
"I know everything,history is repeating again,don't let your friend love Xian"the voice told.
"How do you know that?I thought only six of us know about his crush on xian"amethyst told.
"From friend does he mean taehyung?if so the old taehyung is quite similar to the present taehyung who randomly got a crush on a police officer"jimin told.'no,not again'.
"I know everything boy,let's get in to the riddle can we?I feel like I am being too friendly with you and almost spat out too many things"the voice told and jungkook nodded.
"Most of the things happen in this world happen because of this,many wars start because of this,even the great wars between the heavens and the hell started becauseof this,many people don't know the reasons,this has the worth of venus's tears but this is a forbidden word in hell as well as in heavens.the great lords are so against it,the punishments you get when you are so into it are life sacrifices,you either have to go to hell or to earth,either get your powers snatched because of the gods.this is a heavenly thing.sometimes it's like a breeze created by Maria,so soothing,sometimes it's like a masterpiece created by Aroha.sometimes it's like a drug,so addictive but sometimes it's like one of the fires created by Agnus,sometimes it's like saturn's thunders striking through your body, shattering you into thousand pieces,it's like wandering around the heavens and like having a taste of hell,beautiful yet painful.it cages you yet it releases you" we heard this long description.even jungkook himself was pretty confused.three of us were clueless because we didn't know who Agnus,Maria or any other shit was.
"You know the answer?I wouldn't be surprised to hear gods with the names of planets"jimin told.
"Do you think gods have internet?"jungkook asked and I was questioning his stupidity.
"Yeah they have internet and even watch porn"I told averting my gaze towards amethyst who was lost in thoughts.
"Does it worth the tears of Venus?"amethyst asked from the book.
"Yes it has the power to heal you like venus's tears"the voice told.
"Her tears once saved namjoon hyung from death"amethyst told.
"Hyungs don't you think namjoon is someone we need to find cause if there was a group of people and taehyung hyung was one of them,jimin hyung should be one of them too along with this namjoon"jungkook told and we nodded.
"If that's forbidden in hell and heavens,is it forbidden in earth among the mortals?"amethyst asked.
"Boy I can't answer your questions you have to answer correct,otherwise you have to go to the hell"the voice warned.
"Why is he leading himself to his own death like that for someone like taehyung hyung?I don't even share ramen with him"jungkook told looking at me.
"Maybe he is not a brat like you,that's why he is taking a decision between life and death just for me"I told.
"Boy your time is running out"the voice told which made me have a panic attack.
"WHY IS THAT DEMON TELLING IT NOW?"jimin shouted.
"You didn't tell it before"amethyst told.
"My present self wouldn't even be able to breathe if I had to face this"jungkook told while covering his eyes.
"Well yeah forgot,my 3000 years old self forget stuff easily boy"the voice told.
"So did the wars started because of this?does that means this has something to do with xian and v?"amethyst asked.
"There is no way someone can know this?did the goddess tell you?"the voice asked.
"Well if you aren't going to tell anyone I went to her room and read her diary"amethyst told.
"In the name of merlin if heavens knows this you will get doomed boy,going to a lady's room is a crime!"the voice told but amethyst was too tired to give a fuck.
"THANK GOD UPTO NOW I THOUGHT XIAN IS A BOY,I HAD GONE TO A GIRL'S ROOM AFTER ALL"jungkook told.
"But shame on you bro,you sneaked into a girl's room" jimin told while having a disgusting look on his face.
"And you were the noble womanizer hyung,it's even more disgusting"jungkook told.
"I have an ANSWER"amethyst suddenly told while jimin and kook were bickering and my heart started to beat like crazy I felt jungkook's hand squeezing mine nervously.I ran my thumb over his hand to calm him down.the word he told next made the book break open and a big light came out from it.
Little did we know that the ANSWER to a big question between your death and your life was just a simple word yet none would even have guessed it right.
