Some Kind of Magnet

“I knew it was you. I can’t believe you’re actually a real person standing in front of me right now,” Jeongguk said with a laugh, still gripping Jimin’s shoulder. Jimin was mesmerized. Surely Jeongguk had two full sleeves of tattoos if there was ink poking out onto his wrists and covering both hands. The cherry blossoms intertwined with black dragons running down both sides of his neck distracted Jimin for a moment, but he snapped out of it and locked eyes with Jeongguk.“You don’t even look like Jeongguk,” Jimin said with a lopsided grin. “Puberty ran a fucking train on you.”Jeongguk let out a bark of laughter, his hand slipping from Jimin’s shoulder as he sipped his drink, turning his head to the side as he did. “Honestly, I’ve been enough of a whore over the years for that to be true. I feel like I’m hallucinating. You look amazing,” he complimented. “Like you walked off the set of Suits.”“Close.” Jimin sipped his martini. “Been a lawyer for about a year and a half now.”“No fucking way,” Jeongguk replied with a grin and a slow nod. “You passed the Bar? In South Korea? Christ Almighty."

Closing Walls & Ticking Clocks

“I fucked up. I mean, I really fucked up, Jimin. This isn’t—What I did is… The consequences are literally—” He blew out a sharp breath. “Telling you what I’m about to tell you could fucking alter space and time and the entire world as we know it, and I wish I was kidding, but I’m dead serious. I already fucked everything up by meeting you. I already ruined it. It’s a miracle that the world is still spinning, but it’s…”“Jeongguk?” Jimin raised his eyebrows. “What the hell are you talking about?”“You’re going to think that I’m fucking with you,” Jeongguk stated. “I’m gonna say it, and you’re gonna laugh and call me a nutcase, but what I say… has to be between us. I don’t think you understand how serious I am about that. You’re a scientist, so you understand… You can’t say a word. Not to your friends. Not to your parents. Not even to your own diary. You can’t write it down, you can’t speak about it. The only two people who can know are me… and you.”“So I’m guessing you’re not married with a secret family,” Jimin tentatively said, and Jeongguk blinked at him in confusion before slowly shaking his head. A strange relief washed over Jimin. “Okay. Government agent? James Bond type? Are you working on a secret project in space? You said space and time. Are you working with SpaceX? What’s going on?”

"I haven’t even introduced myself.” Jeongguk held out his hand, and Jimin gave it a wary look before shaking it with a rather dainty grip, his eyes lingering on Jeongguk’s fingernails. No point in beating around the bush, then. Jeongguk leaned both elbows on the countertop, laced his fingers together, and rested his chin on top of his fingers. “Jeongguk. Grim reaper for Yeomraguk, or the afterworld, or underworld, or whatever you prefer to call it. The red eyes aren’t contact lenses. Perks of demonhood.” Jeongguk winked. “Pleasure to meet you.”Jimin set both hands on the counter. He blinked a few times, his expression unreadable.“Is there a convention in town? ComicCon, maybe?” he said, and Jeongguk raised one eyebrow.“I don’t know what ComicCon is, you beautiful, strange human,” Jeongguk said, disgusted by the lustful fondness that wrapped around his voice but also mildly amused by it all. Was this the human side of him talking? Was that why he found this mortal man attractive, or was it just the fact that human energy appealed to Jeongguk in a carnal fashion more than it did for any other demon or reaper? “But I would love to listen to you tell me all about it over drinks.”
