Reborn : Born Again to Burn You (Taekook) A price for exchange

Soul exchanger

Do you know who I am?

The voice is deep, smooth, almost melodic, but there’s a coldness beneath it, something that sends a shiver down Taehyung’s spine.

Taehyung’s mind spins, still grasping the edges of consciousness, his memories jumbled.

Kim Taehyung

No... I don’t. Who are you?

The figure chuckles, the sound like distant thunder.

Soul exchanger

You’ll learn soon enough

The being steps forward, his presence overwhelming, consuming everything around them.

Taehyung feels a pull toward him, like gravity. The figure reaches out a hand, and instinctively, Taehyung takes it.

The touch is cold, almost unnaturally so, and yet it stirs something inside him—something ancient, something primal.

Soul exchanger

You were a fool, Taehyung,

The being continues, its tone both pitying and mocking.

Soul exchanger

You trusted too easily. You loved too freely. And in the end, you were betrayed by the ones you held most dear.

A sharp, painful breath escapes Taehyung’s lips. He can feel it—the sting of betrayal.

Jungkook. Jimin. Yoongi. They were all part of this. He had loved them all. And they had torn him apart.

Kim Taehyung

I... I died

Taehyung says, the realization dawning on him with brutal clarity.

Kim Taehyung

I was betrayed, and they... they killed me.

The being nods.

Soul exchanger

Yes. You died. But death is never truly the end. It’s simply a passage.

Soul exchanger

A door. And I am the one who opens it.

Taehyung’s eyes narrow.

Kim Taehyung

What do you want from me? Why are you here?

The figure tilts its head slightly, a cruel smile curling on its lips.

Soul exchanger

I can offer you something very few souls get: a second chance.

Taehyung recoils, confusion mixing with hope.

Kim Taehyung

A second chance? What do you mean?

The figure’s smile widens, its eyes glowing with an eerie light.

Soul exchanger

You can return to the world you once knew. To the people who destroyed you. You can make them pay. But,

It leans closer, its voice lowering to a whisper,

Soul exchanger

There’s a price.

Kim Taehyung

A price.

Soul exchanger

Your soul,

The figure murmurs.

Soul exchanger

It’s what I desire in return.

Taehyung’s breath catches in his throat. The weight of the offer presses down on him.

His soul. That’s everything. But what choice does he have?

He has nothing left—nothing but the desire for revenge, the hunger to make those who betrayed him suffer.

Kim Taehyung

And if I refuse?

Taehyung’s voice is tight, filled with an emotion he can’t quite name—

Fear, uncertainty, or perhaps the remnants of his lost humanity.

The figure’s smile falters, just for a moment.

Soul exchanger

Then you will remain here, lost. Forgotten.

Soul exchanger

A shadow of a life you once had. A soul trapped in this limbo forever.
