THE TRUTH UNTOLD

After a while they were froze in their own world..Jimin just let out a sarcastic laugh as he let go of the man's grip. He chuckled while saying..as he face-palming himself

"I see..haish..why must we bump into you first? I rather find Chastity first than need to team up with you first..even I had to pass the mouth of hell.."

"Aww why you so cold with me? Aren't you supposed to be grateful as your first comrade is your eldest brother ?"

Said that man while pat Jimin's shoulder.

Re who's been left out of the conversation just stare at them confusedly while analysing what's going on with a very unsatisfied expression. It was as if she doesn't exist there. In order to break her invisibility, without hesitation, Re slipping..

"Heloo?? I'm here. Don't left me out!! I don't know anything!! and moreover.. what's this eldest brother things??!"

"Eh? Has you been there all along?"

said that man bluntly..

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU GREEDY ASS?!!"

" Woah..how do you know his biggest sin is greed? You truly have a good sight."

Jimin sarcastically agree.

" Biggest sin? You mean he's one of the Seven Deadly Sins?!!"

Shout the princess as she's about to throw a knife at that man.

" He's not the Sins. But he acts like one."

Said Jimin as he tries to calm the princess

"My princess just about to kill me~ I'm about to die~"

said that man dramatically..

"Then, who is he?"

The princess directly ask Jimin the question.

"Yup..he also one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues. He is ' Liberality '. He's the opposite of Greed but somehow he acts like the sin."

Said Jimin, not trying to defend his ' brother '

" I can see what you mean by he acts like the sin.."

Re without hesitation agrees with Jimin.

"Heyy! what do you mean?! I'm pure!!"

That man slips as he try to defend himself.

"You did act greedy back then. You are ' Liberality ' but you don't even bother to share some foods with us..You even said you will go after you've done with your ' business '."

The princess try to win herself.

" it's not like I will left without any payback in return"

Said that man as he put his tongue out.

"What pay back did you intend to give?"

Ask the princess sarcastically.

" At first I thought just wanted to give you back some fish but then when I think about it, I plan to give you something bigger and meaningful. I'm going to give you, me. I will be your warrior. I'm now under your care, My Princess."

Blushed by that man words, Re quickly covers herself by asking,

"Th..then I need to know your name. What can I call you?"

"You can call me..Mr. Worldwide Handsome. HAHAHAHA"

Said that man, laughing too hard at his own joke.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm just joking. You can call me, Jin. That's my name.."

Said that man as he draw his gentle smile.

"Gosh~ well, nice to meet you, Jin. I hope our bond will be strengthen as we're a team now."

Re draws her sincere smile and shaking hands with Jin as the prove of agreement from both side.

" Oh and one more thing..what do you mean as Jimin's eldest brother?"

Re moves to the next topic. Her question suddenly make Jimin's face bitter and Jin's start to be serious. Did she just spit out something that should just left unspoken?

"Do you want to hear a story, princess?"

Jin asked Re with his dreadful face. But his question doesn't feel like a question.. it's more to a wish. A longing wish that have been wanted to be heard. Knowing that, Re, calmly say,

" Of course. If you let me.."

Jin just draw a smile. It's the smile of relieve but it slip with some sadness in it. Ironically, it still beautiful. Jimin, just let his head down. Then Jin start to express his long awaited wish or should I say, it's their wish?

"Long ago, the deitys created the Seven Heavenly Virtues in order to keep the balance of the universe. The Seven Heavenly Virtues were raised without a father's protection nor a mother's love. We just born and were raised by the nymphs and the Hyades. We got the body of a man, the heart of a man but we don't get what other man's have. Parental love, affection, aging, death. We lived so many years but never once we experienced any of that. We separated from each other and ' live our own life ' for hundreds years ago. We've seen the world, we've learned about people from across the globe. Their outset might be different but they are all still the same. They are fragile and hard to handle. But at least they get to live their own life. Our purpose for living here is to live just like a ghost until our time has come when the Pure Royal Blood appears before us. It is now, to defeat the Seven Deadly Sins alongside you. That's the sole reason why we were created. We are all actually a big mess. The power that possessed in each of us..made us a big mess. We don't get to live the way we wanted. That's not for us. We, of course, sometimes cursing the deitys for creating us this way. We are their sons too.. then why they made us to carry something unbearable? That's what we thought. Do we doesn't deserve to love and be loved? But all that are just old story. We've learned to accept our fate. Well, at least Jimin and I did..Then after all these centuries, finally, we got the calls, to complete our life purpose. Then that is it. That's why, I, the eldest Heavenly Virtues, represents all my brother, wants to give you our biggest honor and sincerest thank you because actually we're not the one that's saving you..but you are the one that saves us. Thank you because you will help us escape from our unbearable fate."

His story is full of sadness. But he still be able to smile so beautifully. It's kinda hurt to see that. Re just got speechless as she heard and feel every words of the story. Never imagined in her mind how they still be able to live in such a sadistic life. They must been waiting for her for a very long time. They had to suffer so many years just to finally meet her. "Why I didn't come to them earlier?" that's what she thought. She feels like she's about to cry just when she's imagined their hardships. But she thought if they all can be tough, why not her? So, she brace herself and try as hard as she can to not let her tears fall down. All she can do is smile. Something in her chest is hurting but she needs to overcome it. Jimin just look down and gloomy. So, Re decided to break the tense atmosphere by asking,

" Th..then, what's your guys actual age?"

" umm.. I don't know. thousands of years maybe? " Jin's reply

But Jimin still look down so Re suddenly hit his shoulder a few times. Her hands just reached out like that without her own will then give off her awkward smile as Jimin still doesn't give any response. Then her inner voice just...

"~WHAT THE HECK DID I JUST DO?! I'M DOOMED. HE LOOKED PISSED!!~"

"AHA Ha ha.. thousands of years? woah..then you guys are the most handsome great great great great grandfather I will ever seen in my entire life!!"

She said that and the environment seems more tense and colder than before. Letting out a sigh, after she learned the situation, she know she can't save it so she thinks she will just blow everything away. She suddenly ask,

"Then if your purpose has been accomplished, what will you do?"

After a moment of silence, Jin's about to open his mouth to answer Re's question but Jimin's work faster and said,

" Princess, you know right that you don't have much time to listen to small petty ted-talk? We should hurry and find the others. Only five of us left. Come, My Lady.."

Jimin said that then he pulled Re's arm and leaving Jin behind.

"she needs to know the truth, Jimin.."

Jin said that under his breath. Re and Jimin have gone far ahead.

"YAHH!! WAIT FOR ME!!

Jin's yelling from afar

Then he keep up with them and they continue their journey to find the other 5 of the Heavenly Virtues.

"She don't need to know that" that's what Jimin's thought..
