"You're not a demon are you?" I blurted out.
Bang Si-Hyuk, the supposed 'Shadowseer', looked up calmly at me. "You're right. I'm not. I'm a Shadowseer."
"What the heck is a Shadowseer anyways?" Jin crossed his arms. "I was expecting someone more... powerful."
"What?" Almost like surprise flickered Bang Si-Hyuk's face. "I mean, we have the ability to help demons cross dimensions permanently. But, like, that's basically it."
"Sakura made it sound like you guys were more powerful than a demon with white and silver powers combined," Jimin mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck a little.
Said Shadowseer scoffed a little. "Of course she did. She likes to try and exaggerate things to make it sound more mystical and than they really are."
"Sir," Sejin cut in softly, still holding up Jungkook who looked to be struggling to even keep his legs straight and supported. "We need to get him out of here quickly."
"Right," Si-Hyuk stood up. "Bring him to me."
"He's standing literally three feet away from you," Yoongi snorted, shifting Holly in his arms.
"You're bringing a dog with you?" Si-Hyuk paused and blinked slowly.
"Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Yoongi jerked his chin up in challenge.
"N-no, not yet anyways," Si-Hyuk stammered a little. "I've never sent a dog across before. What's its name?"
"Holly," Yoongi cuddled his dog closer to his chest.
"She's cute."
Yoongi immediately scowled. "He. He's a he."
"O-oh, he then," Bang Si-Hyuk cleared his throat before taking a few steps forward to quickly examine Jungkook's face. "Dang," he whistled. "Poor kid is in terrible shape. We need to get him across the dimension as soon as possible."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Taehyung burst out. The desperation laced in his eyes was undeniable as he gazed at the one member younger than him.
"You guys already know what you're about to sacrifice?" Bang Si-Hyuk's attitude became grave. "Demon memories are too heavy for the mortal mind, especially since you guys are from Mad King's War itself."
Hoseok now cut in. "Yes. We heard Sakura. And we've found a way to solve it."
"Is that all you guys heard from Sakura in sending a member across?" Bang Si-Hyuk frowned.
"I mean, yeah, is there more?" Namjoon asked suspiciously.
Bang Si-Hyuk took a deep breath.
Uh-oh. "I swear if there's one more catch and it has something to do with a blood sacrifice or something alike...!" I snapped angrily.
"It has nothing to do with blood sacrifice or anything," Bang Si-Hyuk chuckled. "However, for a demon to become fully mortal, they need a touch of mortal to them."
"So are we going to do some blood binding spell with her human blood to us?" Jin gaped.
I shuddered. Great, more blood freak transfers. Please note the sarcasm.
"No, no, much more simple that, however," Bang Si-Hyuk cleared his throat and pointed to his mouth. "For the spell to actually work, every demon here needs a human kiss on their mouth."
...
"What."
"It's just a quick connection of mouth, nothing serious," Bang Si-Hyuk quickly breezed.
"On the mouth?" I winced as Jimin yelled.
"It's very quick," now Sejin piped up.
"Why can't I, say, kiss them on the cheek?" I asked.
"Because it's just how the spell works the best and most efficient," exasperation was edging into Shadowseer. "Not a big deal. Besides, it's not as if you started dating one of these demons here."
"Actually," Jimin began, his sapphire eyes almost black stones in his eyes.
"He's right!" I yelled over Jimin's words. "I'm not dating anyone and this kiss means nothing."
"Et tu, Brute?" Jimin now raked his gaze over to me.
"Is there a portal?" Jin glanced around.
"Silly," Si-Hyuk smiled a little, "we are in the portal."
I swallowed hard as I was now a few inches away from Jungkook now. I could feel Jimin's dark, jealous gaze, drilling holes into the back of my head.
"Wait, what?" Jin's jaw fell open a little.
I took Jungkook's face carefully in my hand. The kid blinked slowly at me, obviously not quite comprehending anything that was happening. How was he going to be able to remember the correct memory when he's so out of it?
"I'm going to officially push all of you into the dimension of Earth upon a chosen location," Shadowseer continued.
Quickly, before I could think too much I leaned forward and planted the barest of kisses on Jungkook's mouth. My entire body immediately began to burn up and I quickly backed away right after.
Such a hoe, I couldn't help but think to myself as I involuntarily wiped my mouth a little bit with the back of my hand.
"Where's the location?" Namjoon now asked.
Bang Si-Hyuk pointed to me. "Her home."
I jolted a little in surprise. "You mean, next stop is my house again?" I breathed.
He nodded. "Earth's time and Itzborough time is warped. It'll be as if you only were gone for a couple hours back on Earth."
"Okay, great, she kissed Jungkook," Jimin called out, undeniable bitterness ringing the edge of his voice. "Can he go now?"
"Jimin," Hoseok slapped the blue-haired shoulder's none too gently. "Chill your testosterone ass will you?"
Then Si-Hyuk placed a hand on Jungkook's shoulder. "Remember the memory you wish to keep."
Jungkook barely moved, still zoned out.
"Jungkook!" Jin burst out, "Remember our memory we made! You have to!"
Before Jungkook could give any indication of hearing and obeying, a strange light began to emit from Si-Hyuk's hands on Jungkook's shoulder. It crawled up his body, enveloping and swallowing his entire body.
Silence fell across someone as the light began to grow painfully bright... and then it disappeared.
Along with Jungkook.
"Where did he go??" Yoongi yelled, eyes wide and darting everywhere.
"He's now at Y/N's home location, so the sooner everyone can join him the better," the Shadowseer explained briefly.
Jin slowly stepped forward. "Y/N..."
"Yeah, yeah," I grumbled, something inside me wilting as I quickly approached the eldest hyung and tried not to think too much of it as I placed another barest of kisses on the mouth.
"This is terrible to watch," Jimin all but whined under his breath.
It's ten times worse doing it, Jimin, now F off.
The Shadowseer performed the same strange enchantment on Jin and soon he was gone. Slowly, one by one Bangtan members stepped up: Namjoon, Hoseok, Taehyung...
By Taehyung Jimin was actually pacing like some pent up frustration. Thank God no one is going to remember this memory when we all get back to Earth.
I still had no clue how I was going to deal with 7 newly made, full grown human men when we got back but we'd see when I got back.
"Will you relax?" I yelled at Jimin finally when Yoongi stepped up next.
"Yoongi may recall certain things that other members will not be able to," Si-Hyuk stated hesitantly.
"Huh?" Yoongi and I looked up with wide eyes.
"Yoongi has been back and forth from Earth so many times, there's a slight chance that he may remember certain things more than just the one memory," Si-Hyuk said. "But he may not either."
Yoongi and I met eyes before quickly looking away. If Yoongi could recall certain things others could not maybe I'd be able to handle all 7 men. Maybe.
"Okay, kiss time," Si-Hyuk seemed more tired than before. Perhaps performing this spell was taking a toll on him.
"Don't say that," Jimin groaned. He'd insisted to be last one to go over.
"We only have a short amount of time left of the dimension overlap," Si-Hyuk informed us gravely.
I quickly brushed lips with Yoongi, trying to keep my mind carefully blank. Then I gratefully bent down and planted a full on smooch on the top of Holly's head.
Yes, the red lights reverberating from his fur was a little weird, but he was adorable like any other dog once you got used to it.
And then it was just Jimin and me.
"I expect a full kiss from you, Human," Jimin narrowed his eyes.
I returned the look. "Then don't call me 'Human', call me by my real name."
"Y/N," Jimin huffed.
"I'll see you on the other side okay?" I softened my voice a little as he quickly wrapped his arms around me. "If... when you forget..."
"I don't want to forget," Jimin was whispering now.
"I'll be sending both of you back at the same time," Si-Hyuk took a step forward. "None of the Bangtan members will ever be able to return. And Y/N, don't get summoned back here again okay?"
"I'll try not to," I replied drily before looking back up at Jimin.
His arms tightened around my waist as he bent down a little and quickly fit his mouth on mine. I couldn't help but melt against him slightly, lacing my arms around his shoulders.
A bright light was beginning to surround him and I. We were going to Earth. To my home. Where I belonged. The light was becoming blinding and I shut my eyes so the only thing I could feel was his body against mine and his mouth swallowing mine.
That was the last feeling I remembered before I left Itzborough for good.
