Episode 5: The Devil’s Arrival

The air grew colder. The night felt heavier. Something was coming. And Taehyung could feel it.

The Mortal Realm – A Night of No Return
The village had long since fallen into silence, yet Taehyung could not sleep. He stood by the small window of his home, staring out at the moonlit forest. The feeling from before—the presence, the unseen gaze—it hadn't left him. If anything, it had grown stronger. Something was watching him. Something was waiting.

(muttering): "What are you?"
A sudden gust of wind blew through his room, though the window was closed. The candles flickered wildly before snuffing out completely, plunging the space into darkness. Taehyung’s breath hitched. His pulse quickened. And then—a whisper. Not from the wind. Not from his mind. But from the shadows.

Finally… I’ve found you

The Underworld – The Devil Steps Into the Mortal Realm
The flames of the underworld flickered as Jungkook stepped through the veil. For centuries, he had ruled unchallenged. No force, no god, no prophecy had ever held power over him. Yet here he was, crossing into the realm of mortals—for a single soul. A soul that had been woven into his fate against his will.
His dark robes billowed as he walked through the mortal forest, the world bending to his presence. The trees swayed though there was no wind. The ground darkened beneath his feet. And ahead of him… A small village, untouched by time. And within it—him. The one he was meant to claim. Or kill.

The First Encounter
Taehyung’s body tensed as the temperature in the room plummeted. The once-familiar shadows that danced at his feet now seemed alive, restless. And then—he felt it. A presence. A force unlike anything he had ever known. His breathing hitched as the darkness in front of him twisted, warping into something solid. And then… he stepped out.
Tall. Unfathomably strong. Dressed in black, eyes glowing gold like fire itself. A man. A being. A devil. Jungkook. Taehyung couldn’t move. Couldn’t speak. Because the moment their eyes met, something within him shattered. Something old.
Something forgotten. And Jungkook… felt it too. For the first time in centuries, the Devil froze. Because in those mortal eyes… he saw something he was never meant to see. Recognition. As if, long before this life—long before this moment—they had met before.
