Jimin's POV

I stared. I don't know to where. I just... stared. The sounds of soft music rung through my earplugs as I sat in the bus on my way home.

I sighed deeply, listening to the song on repeat.

"Neoneu nae salme dasi tteun haetbit. Eorin sijeol nae kkumdeurul jaerim-"

I shook my head lightly. Did my phone break? Was it my headphones? I quickly unlocked it, seeing that the song just... disappeared.

I frowned. This never happened before. I guess black magic! I shook my head again, my sight getting slightly blurry. I'm going to fall on my bed when I get home. I did not get enough sleep.

I ignored the weird tone changes in the voice, cut-offs as the song randomly started and stopped. I need to buy a new phone.

I unlocked the door and went inside. This just got one hell of a lot creepier. The sound of water falling down onto hard stone-filled my ears loud and clear, and the song was still playing. I don't remember putting it on after I got off the bus...

I'm not even wearing my earplugs...

I hesitantly followed the sound upstairs, to the melody that lowered and quickened. It was magical... I didn't even pay attention to the blood in my room, or the stone staircase leading down to a creepy room that was never there before.

I let the sound of water fill my ears as the water simply surrounded me. The heavy iron door in front of me held a simple red gem. A ruby. And a riddle. If there is one thing that I'm bad at, it's riddles.

"How many times do the thoughts surround you? Waiting for someone or something to drown you. Take this path to the multiverse. Meet the one who is stuck behind this curse. What mind of creature feeds of blood and fear? Are you scared, and be honest here. Once you have taken the jewel masterpiece, what creature may waif, might get a feast."

I shivered at the riddle. Weird. What creature feeds of blood and fear? There is a ruby. Rubies stand for power and might... Maybe a king? But what feasts of blood and fear? A demon? Satan?

"Is it Satan?" I asked. Weird. I've never talked to myself. The door didn't move one bit. I sighed and read the riddle again. "Yes... I am scared. But the music calms me."

I yelped and stepped back as the iron door creaked loudly and scraped along the floor, opening wide in front of me. There was... someone... someone scary.

The thing had no eyes. A giant mouth in its forehead, and devilish horns on the top of his head. A pale, dirty, wounded skin, blue veins popping everywhere. It's ribs very much visible, as it turned to me.

His claw-shaped nails scraped along my skin. I gulped. "W-who are you?" I managed to squeak out. The thing tilted its head. "I am... nothing..." From his deep voice, it was a man. "No one... asked me that before..." He said softly.

"I am starving. I simply have no soul to feast from. Your fear smells so delightful..." He said lowly, suddenly pushing my body against his cold, boney skin. I shivered of the touch. "Would you mind if I... take a part of your soul?"

I widened my eyes. "Excuse me?! A part of my soul?!" He nodded. "Please. I need to eat. I will only take your fear. Nothing more is what I ask." He begged. I was terrified, horrified. I widened my eyes when I heard those familiar words again.

"Euphoria...--"

The demon, I assume, turned around with a slight look of fear in his non-existent eyes. "He is getting impatient... Quickly, fresh one. Decide." He begged again. I gulped. "W-why haven't you fed then?" "No one comes by. I appear random. I never know where I am. Humans always run from me... they never solve the riddle... They leave me alone..."
