Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter 9: Fulgur

It was a long night for you. After Hoseok had left the room, you had tried to close your eyes and fall asleep, shut out the memory of Jimin. But your body ached in unrelenting waves, causing you to toss and turn in some desperate attempt to find a comfortable position. It wasn't aggressive aching, it was just a continuous pain, all throughout your chest, arms, and legs. After an endless tussle with sheets, comforters, and pillows, the sun peeked between your curtains, signaling the arrival of day.

You hissed at the sun.
Curse the sun.
Who needs the sun anyway?

You pulled your pillow above your head, smothering yourself in it's fabric like darkness. For a second you felt at peace, the aching dulling to a quiet throb.

Then someone knocked on the door.

You bit your tongue, keeping back the barrage of cuss words that threatened to spill out,

"Y-yes!?" you stammered. May the Lord have mercy on whoever entered your room.

"Just checking on you! You sound way better Y/n! May I come in?" Jungkook's voice came from behind the door.

"No! I'm... I'm naked." you said stiffly. There was a long pause.

"Can I come in?"

"No Jungkook! What do you want?!" you screeched. Goodness gracious boy.

"Aww ok. Just wondering if you wanted to join us for breakfast." he replied. You could hear him resisting the urge to open the door. He was messing with the door knob eagerly.

"I'm good! You can have my stuff! Goodnight!" you barked, burying yourself deeper into the blankets. There was brief moment of hesitation,

"O-oh... Ok... Goodnight...?" Jungkook said softly, then shuffled away from the door. You waited for him to come barging back through the doors, wide eyed and curious but he didn't, leaving you back to the peace and quiet of the morning. You cackled evilly; back at the House they would never of let you talk to a superior like that.

Ooh what a rebel.

Turning your back on the windows, you wrapped yourself up in the endless sheet's and closed your eyes, sleep finally coming upon you.

You had no idea what time it was when you woke back up. By the position of the sun, it had to be the late afternoon. You yawned and stretched, refreshed from your very long intense nap. Not even bothering to change out of your night gown, you opened the door and wandered out into the hall.

"Hello?" you asked. You were met by your in echo, and then suppressing silence. Everyone seemed to be out today the house. Free and curious, you ran about the grand manor like a child, poking around in places you hadn't seen yet (or at least Hoseok told you to stay out of). You scampered around, going from door to door down seemingly endless hallways filled with grand paintings and strange status of all kinds. You snooped in the boy's rooms (the ones that were unlocked at least) and scavenged the empty ones, looking for anything remotely interesting. There was a grand piano in one of the rooms but you didn't linger long; there wasn't anything else really interesting in it and it was severely out of tune. Hall after hall, door after door, room after room, it seemed like days as you wandered aimlessly. For such a grand mansion, it was quiet bland. You were hoping to stumble across some hidden doorway or something but your search unearthed nothing of the sort. Eventually bored and tired, you shuffled into the family room and plopped onto one of the couches with a huff.
"It wouldn't be so boring if maybe someone was here with me..." you muttered. You glanced at the grandfather clock that was in the room.

5:39 PM

"Sheesh. Where is everyone." you grumbled, staring at the ceiling. Silence fell back across the room, save for the rythmic tick of the clock. You closed your eyes for a second, scouring your mind for any small details you might of skipped over about the manor's physic.
