Tainting Purity 2: What scene did you first put down? 4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue? 13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
2: What scene did you first put down?
Let's see. I think it was the thigh-riding in the car idea. I didn't write it but the idea inspired me enough to start out the fic. Then the whole demons entering society thing came to my mind and we have our beginning!
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
Oh, I've got quite a few favorite lines! I'll just put some here~
Namjoon’s eyes darkened and a smirk twitched at his lips as he hid his irritation behind it.
“Who’s the one being business-like now?”
“Next time, it won’t be Hoseok and Yoongi who punish you. It’ll be me, and I can promise you that if you think Jimin is scary, you don’t want to see how I act if you try and hide a mark like that from me again. Are we clear?”
“I mean…it’s more than I’ve shown ever and it admittedly would make me feel super exposed and vulnerable if I was with anyone but you and the others but right here, right now it makes me feel…confident, in my body and how I look and that’s something I don’t feel very often.” You admitted, voice honest and contemplative.
“…You guys need to promise to not leave my side when we go to this place, okay?”
You turned to look at them and were surprised to be greeted by Taehyung hugging you making you laugh.
“I’m alright, you know, it’s not like I’m crying or anything Tae.” You mumbled but accepted the affection nonetheless, squeezing him as you hugged him back. You felt him mumble into your hair. “Maybe not. But we could feel the pure elation that came from you when you saw your reflection…and it makes me so inexplicably happy that you could see how fucking gorgeous you are, if only for a moment.”
Tears blurred your vision for a second before you gave a watery laugh as he pulled away.
“Don’t you dare make me cry again guys, I’ve done that way too much today.” You mumbled, brushing away your tears before they fell. Jeez, were you always this emotional?
The ride home was peaceful as was the meal that followed. Namjoon was as amiable as ever, but Jungkook was so quiet when you entered you actually marched to his room after acquiring its location from Yoongi as soon as you were done eating, a bag in your hands for him since he’d run off once he’d locked eyes with you. You knocked tentatively.
There was no answer for a long moment so you knocked again, a bit more confidently this time. “Jungkook! I know you can hear me. Even if you don’t want to talk to me please at least eat. I’m worried about you.”
You waited a few more seconds and just as you were about to give up the door opened up and there stood Jungkook, a tired smile on his face as he observed you quietly for a long moment.
“…You do know how absolutely stupid the idea of a demon being unhealthy without food is right?”
His voice was pained, despite the words themselves being light enough and you frowned. “I didn’t think about it honestly. Even so, Jin said you adapt to your environment… why shouldn’t I think that food would be included in that?”
Jungkook merely snorted, and looked away from you to the floor, leaning against the doorjamb.
You sighed and bit your lip, gently placing the bag of food down on the floor before you continued.
“Jungkook…listen. I’m not mad at you, or scared for that matter. Jin told me you did it because you thought it would protect me. I’m really okay though. It’s just a tiny bruise-”
He cut you off, voice quiet but sure. “A bruise you got trying to shield me.”
His eyes were filled with fire suddenly as he hissed at you and stepped forward, cornering you against the wall beyond his door. “If I want a stupid Human’s help next time I’ll ask for it. Don’t intervene unless I ask it of you ever again. Got it?”
You raised an eyebrow at him, observing his expression for a moment before you smiled, voice gentle as you answered.
“… You done trying to scare me away now? Caring about people doesn’t work that way dumbass, and you just pulled your stunt for the same reason so don’t even try and deny it. Please, let’s just agree to protect each other from now on, okay? No self-sacrifices needed. This isn’t some teenage tragedy.”
Jungkook looked taken aback at your words but eventually laughed and nodded, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck before he grinned at you, backing away a few paces to give you some space. “Sounds perfect to me. No teenage drama bullshit here. No more self- sacrificing. It’s a promise.”
He held out his pinky then and you wrapped yours around his under the vow, both of you feeling a lot lighter and clueless to the other 6 eavesdropping demons who shared genuine smiles at your promise.
