#fic:burn in hell

[floralseokjin]

Hello, everyone! Even though Devil Seokjin’s story has been complete for quite some time, I am still not ready to give it up /sobs/. I still receive some asks about the universe as a whole and how it works, and because I am in the middle of writing a Hoseok story set in the same world, I’ve been imagining and creating a more in depth universe as I go. I think it would be beneficial and informative if I compiled it all into one post. As well as fun! 

I’m unsure if there are any loop holes, or perhaps, if I will change some things in the near future, as I began writing The Devil’s Wears Armani before I even thought of the universe and how it works. But if anything changes, I will update this post! Additionally, if you notice something I haven’t spoken about, or have any other questions, please ask away! 

The more I write about this universe, the harder I fall for it. Some things found in this post I have already included in existing fics, some will be included in the Hoseok fic, and the rest are saved for two additional ideas I may get to writing,  Yoongi and Jimin’s. So, fingers crossed!

i. how being a devil works

• A devil works pretty much the same way as a human. They have the same lifespan and will die of old age eventually. The only difference is that they can not die from human illnesses. Terminal or other. 

• Although that’s a little up in the air now! With the revelation that some devils can turn more human with their time on earth; like catch the flu, needing prescription glasses, getting drunk etc (Seokjin, I’m looking at you...)

• Devils do not have any magical powers. They are just a lot more cunning than your average human! The only “magic” per se, is the removal of the human’s soul. 

(See more: iii. how selling your soul works.)

• You cannot get turned into a devil! You’re either devil or human. However, if a devil mates with a human, they will create halfbreeds! These can die from human related illnesses, but can reside in hell if they like. 

• Most devils are just like humans. They see themselves as equal and alike, and have no qualms with befriending/falling in love with one. These are usually the ones who live on earth! But there are exceptions. Jimin for example; he likes living on earth and has no problem being friends with humans, but he doesn’t think he will ever fall in love with one, because they wouldn’t “get” him fully. (Cue, a potential Jimin oneshot.) Also, there are probably also devils who live in hell but have no qualms with humans. 

• However there are also devils who segregate the species. Hoseok for example, who is only interested in them for sex. And there are also devils who hate earth and wish the integration never happened (again, Hoseok.)

• There are probably also more “evil” devils, lurking in the depths of hell (maybe even earth) but that’s not really a part of the universe I will ever concentrate on. However, they do exist. 

• A lot of humans obviously know of the existence of devils, it’s just a very well kept secret. They blend in so well, it would be impossible to tell anyway, unless they disclosed it to you! Many businesses in the human world are run my devils (popular or small), and most devils on earth work beside humans in normal day to day jobs. 

ii. how hell works

• Devils can choose to live in hell or on earth, due to the integration of both species that Seokjin’s father implemented back when he was alive (Seokjin’s father was the original CEO of the accounting company on earth and after his death Jin took his place as both CEO and “King” devil.)

• Seokjin just like his father did, and his grandfather before him, keeps hell in check and is in charge. Head devil if you will! Seokjin’s twins are the heirs to hell and shall share it when they come of age/Seokjin gives it up/he dies. 

• That’s why he leaves Hoseok in charge whilst he lives on earth. Now Hoseok makes sure everything is in check while he’s away. Hoseok is his childhood family/best friend (their fathers were close friends) so Seokjin trusts him with such a job even if their lifestyles are vastly different now. 

• Hell is filled with the devils who don’t want to live on earth or just ones that share their time between both. It is also filled with the humans who sold their souls. 

• A devil will take a human’s soul most of the time without disclosing the truth behind their decision. Which is; once agreeing to sell their soul their life is a ticking time bomb. They will die within the year and thus get sent to hell to live there for eternity. (See more: iii. how selling your soul works.)

• A human can only reside in hell if their souls have been taken. It is impossible any other way unless they are a halfbreed (half devil, half human). 

• To put it simply, hell looks and acts like earth for the most part. Devils have companies and jobs. There are rich and poor ones. The humans must work too. However, if they are lucky enough or cunning enough they can survive by finding a devil mate who will look after them. The night life in hell is very prominent. It’s all about partying and sex. 

• The only difference between hell and earth is that there are levels. This is a little hard to explain, but basically the level I talk about and will write about (Hoseok oneshot) is the top level of hell (the one closest to earth). The most civilised level. One that works like developed (and capitalised) countries in the human world. You work to live and pay your dues. 

• I’m not sure how many levels there are but the deeper you go, the deeper you go into no mans land, or more fittingly, no devils land lol. These literally could range from red terrains, pitch black land, and the deepest of levels, the true pits of hell, filled with fire and hot lava. It is said, that the True One, Satan himself lives there. In my mind, some levels are used by certain devils (maybe the most evil ones), some are used as tomb storage for the dead demons. One is used as a type of prison (devil and human) and some are used for the now immortal, soulless humans when things get too eternal/overpopulated. (See more: iii. how selling your soul works.)

• I have also wondered how hell would work as a whole… Like is it just as vast as the world above? How would that work? Surely Seokjin couldn’t be in charge of the entire stretch of endless lands in hell and to be honest, that’s something i’m still thinking about lol. In my mind, the best scenario is for there to be multiple devils who are in charge of separate stretches of land. (ie. America, Britain, Asia etc in the human world, but of course, they’d have their own names in hell!) When Seokjin says he rules hell that would be an exaggeration. He is just one out of the multiple devils that rule hell together! He would only rule one part of hell if this idea is true! But yeah, still working on this one, and seeing as I’m concentrating on Seokjin’s area of hell in this universe, it doesn’t matter anyway!

iii. how selling your soul works

• So a lot of humans accidentally summon a devil (See TDWA.) This means they would have no prior knowledge that demonkind exist until then. Summoning would basically be “I would sell my soul/I want to sell my soul…” etc and then poof, a devil appears!

• Humans could also know a devil beforehand and sell their soul that way. But one thing is for sure, they rarely know of the consequences. A lot of the devils who take souls do it just because they can (it’s fun/asserts their superiority/used as a bragging tool etc). Some devils will not go through with the soul taking if they think it’s for stupid reasons (and of course, it they are a little more humane!)

• Humans think it will get them what they want instantly but of course there is a price and that is death! After selling their soul they will die within a year. They are always given what they asked for/what they wanted, before that but are unable to reap the benefits in the long run (depending on what it is). 

• Also note; some humans want their soul to be taken so they can go to hell, despite the repercussions. (I have a yoongi fic planned with this sort of storyline). Maybe they hate earth, want to follow someone, or are just plain greedy and think they know it all. Whatever the reason, a lot of the time they are not always tricked.

• Does a human change upon their soul getting taken? Not really, but their humanity would drop substantially after residing in hell for a long time. They would harden as a person and often become greedy and self obsessed (if they weren’t already). But it’s more so hell changing them as a person, not the removal of the soul. 

• A devil will rarely take the soul of someone over 50. They do not want OAPs roaming around hell (ruins the aesthetic lol) but of course there are exceptions.

• Once in hell, you are there for eternity. It is impossible to escape, and that effectively makes them immortal. They do not age, and are basically cursed. Living forever in a place that is not their own, nor are they truly welcomed/respected. (Of course there are exceptions.)

• Like i said earlier, they have to work, but if they find a devil mate then they usually look after them/help them out. Only problem is only a small percentage of devils are monogamous in hell, so they can get pretty bored of their human “plaything” quite quickly. Not that a lot of humans care. They can sometimes be hooking up with numerous devils at once. Basically everyone pretty much loves sex in hell lol, but maybe some fall in love who knows...

• Humans can also fall for other humans. There’s no rule to that either, and that would probably work out better considering the whole immortality/cursed for eternity thing. 

• Humans can not conceive nor impregnate in Hell. 

• One last thing; which is again a little up in the air and something I need to work on, is that I probably need to think of an overpopulation problem. If devils are takings souls willy nilly it’s going to get pretty crowded fast. This is where the levels come in! I’ve already said there is a level working as a jail. There is a law to follow even in hell, so anymore breaking it in the top level will get dropped to “jail” (human and devil.)

• Living for eternity doesn’t seem pleasant at all, so I have an idea. If a human gets bored of life, they can just stop existing. That includes no eating or drinking and eventually they will become immobile, not really alive nor dead. This means they can be kept in tombs in a deeper level of hell! Haven’t really thought much about that, for example, is it the human’s choice? or are they forced? Is there a time period in which they can exist in the top level of hell?? Again, all up in the air, but possible solutions. 

• And lastly, is there a way a human can officially “die” in hell? They wouldn’t really need to seeing as they could be kept immobile but I have been toying with the idea of incineration to be the final, fitting death of any soulless humans. (They would have to be immobile first.)

iv. characters in the universe (so far)

— Seokjin (devil; ruler of hell, residing on earth.) — Hoseok (devil; seokjin’s second in command, residing in hell.) — Jimin (devil; friend of seokjin’s, residing on earth.) — Taehyung (halfbreed; best friend of jimin, residing on earth.) — Yoongi (human; seen in ‘My Sweet 666.’) — Namjoon (human; seen in ‘My Sweet 666.’) — Jungkook (human; seen in ‘My Sweet 666.’) — TDWA oc/reader (human; seokjin’s wife and mother of their twins, residing on earth.) — Burn in Hell oc/reader (devil; seokjin’s cousin, residing in hell.)

v. stories in the universe

— Seokjin → The Devil Wears Armani (3 parts.) → My Sweet 666 (oneshot.) → The Devil’s Family (oneshot.)

— Hoseok → Burn in Hell (she said) (oneshot) 

vi. potential stories in the universe

— Jimin → Untitled (oneshot; set on earth.)

vii. characters with no stories

see you in hell!

I hope it’s okay to ask this but do you have any plans on continuing Burn in Hell? If this bothers you please just ignore it I’m not trying to push you or anything just curious. Just finished reading BIH and I loved it. I thought the story line and the plot was great. Plus I feel like there’s so many hidden holes that are so important. Like we know y/n puts up a facade but why? Hoseok is lowkey-highkey confused over his feelings he has yet to realize. I would love to see the story properly end❤️

First off, sorry for the really late reply! Second, thanks so much for reading and enjoying burn in hell 💘 You’re right, it was left very open ended however I don’t think I’ll ever write a continuing oneshot, just because I am uncertain how I want the characters to end up myself lol BUT I will definitely try to add to the story by writing drabbles this year! I have a couple in mind so far!

burn in hell (she said) snippet

“Out,” you barked at the human Hoseok had sat on his couch, not bothering to take a proper look as you stormed inside and made a beeline for his desk, some papers under your arm.

Were you fucking serious right now? You were going to start counting and weighing numbers this time of night? The human he’d taken a shine to at the bar ripped away from him immediately, scampering for the door. Hoseok rolled his eyes. She would have broken instantly. Immediate fear at the arrival of a second demon. Sometimes it dawned on him how feeble some were, and how unsexy that truly was. Still, he wasn’t going to let you realise his frustrations.

“Do you fucking mind,” he growled through grit teeth. He sat back into the couch, watching your infuriating face as you sat at his desk. His desk. He spread his legs wide. Asserting dominance. Unfazed with the erection that lay down the inside of his thigh. Embarrassing deep down for him, maybe yes. The human had not even said so much as two words as soon as he’d brought her inside, giggling nervously, breath slightly shaky, but he was so highly strung, even whispering in her ear had gotten him hard. However, you didn’t know that. His motives were all over the place. Just like his head had been since you turned up. It turned out you didn’t notice his attempts anyway, because you didn’t so much as throw a glance his way.

“Fuck in your own time,” you told him flatly, filing through some pages in front of you. “I have work to do.” He watched in horror as you grabbed for a calculator and started banging in numbers . Bitch. You antagonising bitch. This was it. He was going to fall victim to some type of human weakness. Dead before 30 from a brain aneurysm.

“My own time?!” He raged, standing up in one swift motion, fists clenched together. “I have no fucking own time anymore. Not when you’re here 24/7.”

Again, you were unfazed by his display. Not even flinching as he shouted. Instead you finally looked his way for more than a few seconds, expression condescending. Your tone matched. “It’s not my problem you choose to mix work with pleasure.”

Hoseok closed his eyes slowly. He had to. He needed to practice taking slow breaths. It was the only way to control his blood pressure. His reactions were what you wanted. To get under his skin. He must remember that. “Do you not do the same?” He asked once he reopened them, taking one last deep breath.

You slowly let a smirk spread across your face. He hated it. He wanted to wipe it from your face. Drag your mouth open with the head of his cock. Shut you up once and for all. Fuck. You were twisting his mind. His dick twitched in his pants. It was still hard. Harder.

“You forget, this is your bar.” You sounded sly. Voice sweet. Probably turned the humans’ legs to jelly. Hoseok knew the truth. It was false. Like everything about you.

“I don’t have to be here. I just choose to be,” you shrugged, getting back to your “work.” You twirled the pen between your fingers, murmuring as you continued. “Because it’s fun. Everyone is so pretty here.”

Hoseok’s eyes flashed. He was standing over you before he even realised he’d moved. “Then leave.” You were correct. You had no need to be here. He’d heard from word of mouth you already owned a successful motel business here in Hell as well as the human land. Why were you meddling in his game?

“Why would I do that?” You asked him, and he couldn’t tell if you were genuinely wondering or playing him again. He was growing weak… “Seokjin said I needed to keep an eye on you.” You didn’t even bother looking at him, or acknowledging his towering presence by your side.

You sat in his chair, at his desk, and acted like you owned this whole club. His club. His dick twitched again. The ache was beginning to get frustrating. How long was it since he got to stick his poor cock into something? He was so deprived everything had become foggy in his mind.

Ok but hoseok in a red suit is burn in hell hoseok

ohhhh i SEE it 🤤🤤 thank you for making my day!!!!

[floralseokjin]

Just finished Burn in Hell, and oh wow. That was astonishing! My poor little heart! Like, I want to know if it works out, but I'm afraid that it won't. Also, all the complexities behind devil!Hoseok! Like, he used her for power (as all devils use others for their own gain) but could it have been something more, since he never felt anything like that before? And especially with the way he kept referencing her relationship with Yoongi, as if he were jealous of it.

+ But then it could have just been a competition! Which takes it back to using her for his own gain & not seeing her as anything more than an object to feed his need for power. Just– WOW. & the pets & her feelings towards them! Another complex situation. How does she really feel about them? Why has she built up all these walls? What's her relationship with Yoongi? How does she pick them out? Is there any significance to them? Such a mystery! Such an astounding story. I wouldn't mind learning more.

Aw thank you so much for reading and sending in your thoughts! I love that it got you thinking so much 🥺 Honestly I have a big ol’ soft spot for devil! Hoseok which is funny because he’s a pretty /bad/ person in the grand scheme of things.. like he pretty much has no redeeming qualities and I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him (not very far obv lol) but I don’t know.. I feel a little sorry for him! I think a little bit of love would brighten up his life but I don’t know if he would ever let that happen! His feelings for oc are very.. complicated and I really have no clue if it could ever work out between them. He’s just not built for relationships and neither is oc! She’s definitely not as cold as Hoseok, considering she refers to her sexual partners as pets and is very fond of them, but I think she enjoys the freedom of being single. Although she isn’t afraid of love and falling in love, Yoongi is the only person she’s ever had those feelings for so this is all new to her too. She has her own problems and worries when it comes to that, so she’s a little frazzled right now anyway. I really wish one day to have the motivation and time to write a fic based on when she met Yoongi in the human realm and what unfolded! Thanks again 💖

[floralseokjin]

Burn in hell Hoseok and OC, two questions: when will you finally admit your love for each other and where is that offspring ?😂🤔

hoseok: pfft. love? no chance... although (he looks steadily at oc, waiting for her attention) i will admit, right here, right now, that i admire you greatly. will that suffice?

oc, continuing to work at (his) her desk: flattery will get you nowhere. i’m not fucking you again. nor are you impregnating me with ur evil spawn. but thank you.

hoseok laughs loudly. he’s getting the hang of this back and forth teasing...

muse ask game is over; please don’t send in anymore, and thank u for playing!

[floralseokjin]

BURN IN HELL HOSEOK AND Y/N, when is the wedding?!😹😹😹😹 no but really, how are you guys after, you know?!

hoseok, smirking: well, she should know the offer still stands..... as long as she keeps her jealousy intact and doesn’t mind sharing me

oc, unimpressed: i’ll pass thank you. hell would have to freeze over before i became mrs. jung (wrinkles nose)

hoseok: i can make anything possible, babygirl. (oc averts eye contact, seemingly a little affected. hoseok notices.) tell them how we’ve been after that wonderful night

oc: i’ve been absolutely perfect. just getting on with life. y’know, almost like it didn’t happen...

(hoseok clenches his jaw, like he doesn’t like her flippant attitude. it’s what she wants. to get under his skin. he’s too blind atm to see that)

[floralseokjin]

Ms66/TDWA Hoseok: god, how come you’re so bitter? Have you ever been in love before?

it’s funny how you think i’m “so bitter”, when i’m actually the happiest i’ve been in a long while. i have everything i want, but thanks for thinking you know anything about me. to answer your other question, no. i’ve never been in love before and don’t particularly want to be either. it’s a weakness
