"But he's a Demon"

Jin walked to the door getting ready to exit. With the slow steps he took, he clearly wanted me to follow and so did I. It was at the seventh step he took that there was a sudden pause. He lifted his head up to glimpse at Taehyung who had his head hung low. Something was creating a wall of distance between the two divine powers and that distance was not pleasing to look at.

It was as if Taehyung was Jin's responsibility. And Jin didn't look much happy about it.

"He was once an Angel, like us"

Even with the knowledge that all of this is not exactly my concern, I still wanted to know. Curiosity was caging me within itself and I didn't want to fight it. Maybe I should just allow myself to be free around him?

"Why is he an Demon then?"

"Because he sinned as an Angel"

"Angels have sins too?" my question painted a bird trapped in a cage inside my eyes. For it to be free, he has to answer. With a smile finally forming on his lips, he turned to reply. Maybe it was like how Lucifer became a devil? But that's an old story.

"Sin's are different for different beings. What may be a sin for a human may not be a sin for an angel or a Demon"

"What was his sin? Is that why he lost his wings?"

"No Minrae, that he sinned as a Demon. His sin as an Angel was something different and has nothing to do with you, dear"

"So what was it!!!???"

"To be this ugly. And that Sin almost got washed away because he has someone as handsome as me"

"Really?" I was convinced. I mean, look at Jin. "I'm touched that you believe me" he replied.

"I did, because Angel's don't lie"

"Hyung's a great liar. Don't fall for it, Minrae" Taehyung yelled.

"Excuse me, look at my face and tell me I'm lying" and that pretty much kept Tae silent. And also made me realise he wasn't going to tell me the truth behind it.

"I need you to make sure that our identities are never going to be reveled among others. If you accidently have a slip of tongue, let us know, okay?"

If looking at him was making me nervous, then I wonder how it's going to be working alongside him. And thinking why I'm not developing, dumb yet so obvious questions was not surprising. Questions like; if he is an angel, how is he qualified to be a doctor? Does he have the training? Where did he get his diploma? Did he go to a college? How did he get in the hospital?

But was asking them right of me?

Yet what came out of my mouth was,

"How long have you been here?"

Jin loosened himself up a little, slightly cracking his neck muscles, relaxing. He locked his fingers between each other while stretching them foreword to crack them as well. It's as if my question had exhausted him, drained every bit of energy left.

"Well, how long have you been here for?"

"A month maybe?"

"Then a month it is" he answered so cunningly, smiling with a tricky raise of an eyebrow which left me doubtful.

"Don't you get it? I thought Taehyung had told you everything"

"I did. I told her everything I can. But you and I know we can't just tell her his sin yet. Didn't we get our orders from above" Taehyung was always peculiar to me. But the words coming out of this man was getting annoying at this point. The only thing I know is that the characters I once believed to be a part of a forgotten fairytale was now standing right infront of me. And it's not just one but many, together. From all this, what the heaven am I supposed to make out.

"Get him back inside his cell please, Minrae. And the rest of you, meet me upstairs. We need to talk"

With that all of them just followed him out the door and so did Taehyung.

"You sure you won't need my help?" he asked. "I can deal with it. Thank you" I answered, a bit plain to be honest.

When their presence was no longer felt, I quickly kneeled down to the fainted figure, tilting his body to face me. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and his entire body was heating up. Exactly then I remembered he hadn't fed yet.

Regardless of his identity as a Demon, there was something so enchanting about him. Jimin's eyes were playing games. It keeps opening and closing without any uniformity.

He was struggling. He was still hungry. How come they forgot about his crave. And they even left me with him in such a situation. Did they not think about it?

"Can I just have you once, please" he pleaded, his voice breaking up miserably.  Jimin's voice rang in my head like an alarm to flee. His body started moving in my arms out of discomfort and his right hand reached my sleeves, holding and pulling it while groaning.

"What?" I asked, shocked, moving away in fear.

"I won't hurt you. If I don't have you just a little, I might kill you with all the powers forming within me now. Please, trust me" his eyes were debating with two colors, dark brownish black and the Demonic golden color. None of the two colors were successful in dominating his pupil. They kept changing.

"What do you mean have me?"

"Your soul, just a little part of your soul will quench my thirst, please. I wont take it all. You will live"

He was begging now. To my eyes it looked as if he was slowly dying in pain. But in reality he was only growing stronger and dangerous. There was obviously no other way. I can't just trade another human for my life. Even if this would kill me, I didn't care. Actually, no, I'm freaking petrified. But, someone had to help him.

The next minute Jimin was groaning even more in pain and that pretty much scared me. His teeth were clenched together and the manly scream he let out was not helping me sort out things in my head.

My decision was still pending. Jimin was waiting.

"How--? I mean—what do I—how can I—"

"Do I have your permission?" he asked again, making sure while he lifted himself up, just enough to meet my eyes. Both my knees were meeting the ground while he only had his waist up the floor, reaching me slowly. It was frightening, he was frightening I admit. But what choice do I have now.

Run away?

But my legs were glued to the floor.

Smack his head?

So he could kill me right away.

Call for help?

The room was sealed.

"Yes"

The second the word slipped out of my mouth. There was no wait.

Jimin had charged at my lips, conquering them to himself. With my mind still confused at his act, all I did was stare in shock.

He kissed me desperately. Like he's been keeping it in for too long. And exactly then I realized he was slowly sucking a bit of life from me. He was feeding on me, not kissing me.

"Minrae, we forgot about his state" I could hear Taehyung's scream from far and heavy footsteps of many people coming down the godown. But it was too late. I guess that's why there was silence after that sentence. My eyes were closed to comprehend anything.

After every second of my lips against his, I felt a little less life in me. My body weakened at his touch next to my neck. A heartbeat so feasible was playing inside my chest.

In the end my body surrendered. I could no longer feel anything. My eyes were getting heavier and my thoughts were filled with just the idea of falling asleep.

With my dizzy head, I fell into his shoulder, my head resting in peace. Jimin raised his hands to my head, patting it slowly, allowing me to sleep which was so unusual of him. Care?A psycho?

He then sighed before saying the last few words after which I completely weakened and fell asleep in his arms.

"I shouldn't have done it that night to you. Maybe then, you wouldn't have to bear this pain"
