Felix was alone in his room.

Felix was dying of boredom. And hunger.

He'd actually enjoyed Jisung's company.

His stomach growled.

The lock of the room's door clicked open.

Felix's head shot up.

On the doorstep stood a man.

His senses told him that he also was a god.

Felix didn't know what to make of his appearance though.

He seemed pretty tall, taller than Felix for sure (if the latter could stand up).

His hair was black and a little longer so that it curled in its ends.

He had high cheekbones and slender black eyes that looked down on Felix like a predator would look at his prey.

He was wearing an oversized black hoodie with a faded print of three skeletons dancing beneath what once was a rainbow.

Chills run down Felix's spine.

He swallowed to make sure his voice sounded steady when he spoke.

'Who are you?'

The other god smiled with just one corner of his mouth. It was anything but a friendly expression.

'I'm a friend of Minho' he said. 'Jeongin, if you want'

Felix leaned back a little. He recognized both the name and the voice from the heated debate in front of his room the day he woke up here.

If he put the things together correctly, the man standing here was the reason for Felix being in the underworld.

Jeongin was the one that had kidnapped him.

The uneasy feeling in his stomach intensified.

Jeongin took a step closer.

'What do you want from me?' Felix hissed.

He sounded like a caged animal.

'Oh, I don't want anything from you. I just stopped by to pay you a visit'

Felix did not believe him. He breathed carefully.

'Oh, and I brought you food. Changbin mentioned you were hungry'

Jeongin strolled into the room, crouching down in front of Felix.

In his hand a golden platter appeared.

A simple pomegranate lay on it, already cut open and displaying the blood red seeds.

'A pomegranate. How generous of you' Felix said ironically.

He tried to ignore the sweet juicy scent that spread out and fogged his senses.

Jeongin smiled a little.

Up close, he was really handsome. But it was the kind of handsome where you'd cut yourself if you'd step too close.

Felix pried his eyes away from the other god's face, looking down at the fruit again.

'I won't eat it', he said.

Jeongin's smile just widened. He had dimples.

'Then don't. Not my problem' He put the platter on the ground before Felix.

Looked up, met his eyes.

'Though I know the pomegranates down here are quite special' The god paused for a few beats before continuing. 'They taste breathtakingly delicious, better even than ambrosia, and one single seed alone will make you sated for three full days'

'Nice'

Felix put as much irony and disinterest in his voice as he could muster against his growling stomach.

Jeongin threw him one last smile, showing way too many teeth, then got up and left the younger god with his pomegranate alone.

He was not gonna eat it.

Felix wasn't going to eat it.

No matter how sweet and delicious it smelled.

No matter that it's been weeks since he last ate something.

His stomach was growling.

Three days.

Three days, he had said.

A full stomach.

Felix whole mind was crowded with the plain presence of this fruit.

He couldn't focus on anything else.

His mouth was watering.

He realized that this had to be some kind of spell. He didn't care.

A single seed had freed itself and laid lonely on the platter.

Three days.

No one would notice that single seed gone.

They'd all think he hadn't touched the pomegranate.

Felix checked the room.

He was alone. What a surprise.

In a quick movement he picked the seed up and put it between his lips.

After a last second of hesitance, he took it on his tongue and started chewing.

The piercing sweet taste threatened to take his consciousness.

He felt dizzy out of a sudden.

The room was closing in.

Felix's breath was ragged.

He felt blood rushing into his head.

Oh no.
