넘어져 다치고 아파도

"Yoongi."

"Hm?"

"Who did Namjoon, you know... kill? I'm just curious."

Yoongi hummed.

"He didn't kill anyone, he told me."

Jimin was surprised at this.

"But? Why was he an impure soul, then?"

"Well... it's not necessary that you have to physically kill someone. He... emotionally tortured someone... Drove them to a point of mental insanity,"

With slight wide eyes, Jimin looked at Yoongi curiously.

"That's so weird... what does he think of that, now?"

"He completely hates himself for it."

"Oh."

Yoongi gives Jimin a small smile and caresses his cheek.

"Well, it's okay. It's been years. He's over it, now. Definitely a better person, too."

Jimin smiled back.

"Well, that's good."

Nodding, Yoongi leaned forward and pressed his lips on Jimin's. They were alone in the house since Hoseok was out for work. It was a day off for both Jimin and Yoongi.

Since the after death world exiled them, their money has been cut off, so they decided to start working just in case the money might run out.

Funnily enough, they worked at a school, Jimin was the school nurse, and Yoongi was the history teacher.

When they pulled back, Jimin remembered something.

"I just remembered something you said!"

Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly in question.

"You said... that there is a way angels and demons can die! You said it. It was when we were talking four years ago. We weren't caught, then."

A splash of memory hit Yoongi.

"You're right... I remember that, too. How could I forget? I even said I'd never forget it."

"So... can you tell me, now?"

Yoongi shifted on the couch, going closer to Jimin.

"It happened really long ago, when I got the choice of becoming a demon or a soul. As you know, this happens right at the gate between Afterlife and Heaven or Hell."

Jimin nodded, his attention peaked with his curiousity.

"And, I saw a lady... I don't think anyone else saw her or they would make a really big deal out of it. She was an angel... And, she was holding something on her hand."

"What was it?"

"I don't know. It was something that could spill easily, I could tell because she was holding it like it might. Then, she just started to disintegrate."

"Just like that?"

"Yeah. And, she was gone. Never seen or heard of again."

At this newfound knowledge, Jimin was extremely surprised, and confused. What was she even holding?

Then, he remembered something himself.

"Wait. Was she like dusting off? Almost like she was being blown away like sand?"

Yoongi placed a finger on his chin.

"Actually, yeah. Why?"

Jimin grabbed Yoongi's shoulders, his face holding realization.

"She passed on! She passed on!"

Silence fell. Taking in what Jimin said, Yoongi spoke.

"You mean... an angel passed on? I... I didn't even think that was possible... How do you know, though?"

It wasn't that Yoongi didn't trust Jimin, he just wondered where he knew that that's what passing on looked like.

"I... I was given a chance to visit Afterlife. And, I was in the market. The passing on gate is near the market, actually. And, I saw a couple happily run into the gate- the gate was actually somewhat transparent, like there was sandy dust everywere, moving like space dust- like in the void! But, not black- it was like a light brown color. And, when they passed through the gate, they could still be seen as they dusted off. I don't know how to explain it properly- but I remember it so clearly."

Jimin was speaking so fast, Yoongi almost didn't catch what he said.

After a few seconds of no words, Yoongi's face etched a grin.

"You know what, Jiminie?"

Jimin hummed a question.

"There might be a way to get rid of the Authorities, after all."
