Episode 1

At midnight, I was standing in front of a mansion that looked like a haunted palace. This gothic-looking palace was once filled with giggles and happy waves of laughter of mine, ours.

It was known to be a celestial palace, a palace of happiness, My happiness.

The path I stood upon was filled with dry leaves and dust. With every step I took closer to the mansion, the dry leaves under my feet made a crumbling noise, reminding me that I was alone.

The garden once used to be filled with beautiful flowers, spreading their sweetness all around the palace while the cute little butterflies danced to the breeze, flocking their very delicate wings, now the garden looks like a dead soul.

I miss the rhythm of the water dropping in the pond in front of me, which used to make a clattering noise with each drop. little birds used to gulp down the water in the midst of the summer is now filled with dirty dark dust and dry leaves.

sharp tears started to shed from my eyes, making my eyes crimson red. remembering the visions of myself, visions of my happy self, one day, I will take my last breath with these undying visions of my past self.

I never intended to visit this place again, not even Seoul of South Korea.

I have abandoned too many things in the past, which eats me alive. All I want is to be dead.... is that too much to ask?

humans call him a god. they say the god who lives in another parallel world protects us and keeps us happy. then why does that god of theirs take my loved ones away from me? they were the sole reasons for my happiness in the past, the god not only snatched them away from me but also my reasons to live.

A loud sob escaped my lips as I struggled to breathe, it started to rain harshly, drenching my black dress completely as I stared into nothingness, while tears never came to an end.

The roars of thunder helped me to cover my whimpers and screams of agony. the cool breeze felt like chilling daggers slicing my skin in the rain, which I found so soothing.

My ears perked up a little when I sensed a presence behind me. should I react? what if I don't? what more could the person do? kill me?

I flinched out from my thoughts when I felt two muscular arms around me from behind, gripping me into his arms slightly, trying not to touch much.

"shhh, relax....I mean no harm. you can let it all out," the man

uttered, his voice was oddly deep and soothing.

I let out my tears with painful whimpers while clutching onto his palm, his grip tightened around me as I leaned back onto him. I could not see his face clearly in the dark, but his eyes were captivating, with hints of wine red, indicating he just grieved for someone close to him.

A simple bracelet on his left wrist placed on my shoulder caught my attention, which indeed suited him perfectly.

Authors pov.

...At The KIM Mansion....

The mansion was filled with silence like every day, everyone knew the Kim family was the strongest family but no one knows how far the family is in reality.

A total of 12 members were sitting on the couch, doing their respective work while ignoring each other's presence.

Kim Gu-won made the already shattered family far distant by marrying Bae In-ah now the last thread of string balancing their family relation is on edge as the sons of Kim gu-won got to know about the two daughters and a son of Bae In-ah.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

1 month, it has been one month since the marriage of Kim

Gu-won and bae in-ah, their already dark life turned more dark and rough while trying to live with unknown yet known strangers.

the boys badly wanted to leave the living room, but what made them stop you ask? they were forced to stay by their father Kim Gu-won along with their grandma kim hae-sook and In-ah with her eldest daughter miso and youngest son Bae Rune.

The 12 members were waiting for the second daughter aka middle child of Bae In-ah, Bae Yn.

Listening to the horn sound, the head guard of the mansion, Alex (27), sprints to open the giant mansion door.

A few minutes later, he entered back while carrying a single branded suitcase.

no younger kim is excited to see the second daughter of bae in-ah, the only person who was looking at the door curiously was Kim Gu-won.

everyone's attention turned towards the door as they heard the dominant sounds of heel clicking with a perfect phase and rhythm.

there comes the devil, the only bae Yn.

In-ah and Miso froze at their place looking at her. standing in front of them with her stiff confident body, her sharp glares, and beauty, she was looking completely different.

her eyes held nothing but voidness, there is no ounce of nervousness or fear in them, she was no more looking like the fragile yn who left the country two years ago abandoning everything.

Kim gu-won rose to his feet with a smile, Bae in-ah and Bae miso too stood up and followed the man steps.

"hello Yn! It's really nice to meet you, finally." Kim gu-won said with a smile.

Yn returned the greeting with a polite bow of her head, her demeanour graceful and composed.

"Hello Mr Kim, My apologies for not being able to attend the marriage, university life is hectic." Yn apologised with a thin smile playing on her lips.

"Aih! I understand, come on! Let me introduce the family" Gu-won said with a chuckle.

"Boys! Introduce yourselves!" He further said to the seven boys.

Yn gazed in the direction where gu-won was staring and there, she saw seven boys and admitted they were breathtaking. The seven stood up unanimously a little wait in their eyes can be clearly seen by yn, they wanted to see her reaction to how good they look.

What are they? Gods? That I need to gasp, scream and faint? -Yn.

(Author- Only if Yn knows...)

The boys did not like how she was looking at them, boldly with no hint of nervousness or fear which they crave to see in her eyes.

If glares could kill, Yn Would have been dead by a thousand times.

Not only from the seven boys but along with the two females, who are secretly glaring at Yn.

Yn scoffs internally and stares at them like a statue, void of emotions waiting for them to speak, which pisses the boys to the core.

"Hello, I'm Kim Seokjin. The eldest in the boys" A man with broad shoulders introduced waving his hand a little.

"Yoongi, second oldest" The man who looks like an orange grumpy cat muttered with a head nod looking unbothered as ever.

"Hi! I'm hoseok" The man with heart lips chirped a little.

"Hello, I'm Namjoon, Twin of hoseok" The dragon eyed bulky man introduced, Yn didn't miss the aura around this man. His sly thoughts can be clearly seen screaming in his eyes which he smoothly hid with his dimple smile.

...STORY CONTINUES BELOW...

"Jimin" The blonde uttered, secretly trying to Riz her up.

"Taehyung, twin of Jimin" The tall man with a mono lid and double eye lid mumbled, staring straight into her phoenix shaped Dark eyes.

Taehyung..?

"Jungkook, the youngest one before the marriage" The muscle bunny with doe eyes rasped, his eyes spoke of how bored and un-interested he is.

Yn glanced at the seven boys once, she did not miss the aura around them. It's the sly and cunning aura along with Darkness and Yn knew they are not Normal at all.

"Hello, I'm Yn, 20." Yn said with a little bow.

"And here! My mother kim Hae-sook" Gu-won said pointing at his mother politely.

Yn turned towards the grandmother with the stoic face "Madam Kim" and bowed her head in respect.

Hae-sook, who was impressed at her way of greeting nodded her head once with an un-noticeable smile.

"How are you daughter?" Bae in-ah asked, with her sweet poisonous voice.

"I'm good, mother"

"Is this really you yn? You look so different" Bae miso questioned.

"oh right, she is not yn! It's her soul, now what?" Rune questioned in irritation, getting fed up by his eldest sister dumb questions which she asks to look cute.

With a pout she hung her face down to which the rune shook his head.

"um-it must be very tiring after the long journey! Have some rest till dinner Yn, Alex will take you to your room" Gu-won stated with a smile,

Nodding her head, Yn followed Alex in silence.

"Ma'am, This is your room, the next room beside yours belongs to sir Namjoon and the left side room beside yours belongs to sir Taehyung, Please let me know if you want any changes in the room or a different room"

"This room is fine, you may leave now, thank you." Yn uttered glancing around the room.

As Alex left the room with a head nod, Yn shut the door close with a deep sigh.

She was not at all interested to be here in the first place, Yn abandoned many things in the past and one of them is Seoul of South Korea.

It's been two years since she left Seoul and went to France, she left with the intention of never returning back, but who can deny things when fate plays dirty? In-ah's dirty trick made her return back to Seoul for a short visit.

Bae In-ah is anything but kind, she is too smart for the good, there is a reason why her company tops 5th place in South Korea.

After the death of Bae ki-hun, in-ah took over the company, the Bae enterprises legally.

In-ah would even go to the depths of the earth to have power and money, if she wants something she would get it by hook or crook, in a simple way, it's either by buying with money or killing in the dark.

In-ah's mind is completely filled with dirty tricks and one of her victims was Yn, In-ah knew Yn wouldn't bother to attend the wedding or meet Kim's which is why she came up with a different plan to which Yn agreed having no other choice.

In-ah does not care about Yn as much as she cares about miso, For in-ah, Yn is nothing but an eyesore from childhood.

Too bad that Kim gu-won got to know about Yn's presence which left no other option for in-ah but to call Back Yn to the Seoul of South Korea.

Yn knew every single thought of in-ah, but she is too tired to even care.

Coming back to her senses Yn grabbed a fresh sealed water bottle from the table and a box of pills from her bag, swallowing the pills she gulped harshly with help of water.

Yn laid down on the soft mattress, as usual with stoic expressions and gently closed her eyes which carries nothing but Darkness.
