Baekhyun was bored out of his mind. Like he had been for decades now, even centuries. He couldn't remember what it was like to feel... well... anything and after years of vegetating he didn't care enough to even try. So he just laid there, absentmindedly tapping his fingers as he stared blankly at the emptiness, comfortably set on the bed of dark purple smoke he had materialized.

He let out an audible annoyed groan which didn't fail to catch the attention of the other demons there.

"What's wrong?" Kyungsoo asked as he was feasting on some delicious meal he poofed out on thin air.

"I'm bored" Baekhyun complained, dragging out the word on his tongue, transmitting his state of utter apathy to the others.

"Why don't you go up and play with the Humans?" Chanyeol suggested while checking himself out in the mirror.

"What's the point? They are no fun anyways!" He sat up straight on the cloud of cotton like smoke.

"Why?" Yixing asked" You used to love going around and breaking up happy marriages, luring in women and men with your charms... That was always fun!" He said with as much enthusiasm as he could muster.

"Yeah maybe it was..."Baekhyun replied. "2 millenniums ago... When everything still felt fresh. Now I know that Humans are only self centered vile creatures who only claim to have better morals than us because they are scared of the consequences of succumbing to their primal instincts. When in fact, all they want is to eat, kill, have sex or not do anything at all."

"That's not entirely false" Yixing said, shrugging, already giving up the idea of comforting him.

"I mean where's the fun if you can't break their minds to give in? If they don't resist the call of evil? If you can't erode their will like a rock made smooth by the incessant beating of the cruel waves of the sea." Baekhyun huffed in a quiet, defeated voice.

A silence settled for what seemed a long moment, even for immortal creatures for whom time doesn't mean much anymore.

"Well you never tried with that girl..." Junmyeon started. "What was her name already?" He turned to Chanyeol but he was too busy looking through the hand held mirror and Kyungsoo had his face buried in a huge bowl of chicken broth. "Yixing?"

"Y/n" Yixing responded with no conviction.

"Yeah! That's right! That girl is unbreakable" Junmyeon affirmed. A ray of hope crossed Baekhyun's eyes.

"Oh yeaaah... I remember her" Kyungsoo said, not taking the time to swallow before talking. "Even I tried!"

Now Baekhyun was definitely interested. Most people give in to Gluttony, it was, so to speak, the easier sin of the seven to succumb to. Rare are the people who say no to the second piece of cake after the birthday party or to the "all you can eat" special at their favourite restaurants.

"She refused to even taste the delicious meal I made her sister give her even though she was starving... instead she gave it to the homeless man living not far from her apartment." Kyungsoo stated with aberration before plunging right back in the ramen bowl.

"Mhm" Baekhyun scratched his chin as his curiosity for that girl rose.

"Yeah one day I tried to make her give in to Sloth by making her miss the train and the bus she needed to get home after work and conveniently laid a 50$ bill in the gutter. All she had to do was to bend down and get it to rent a taxi to her apartment. But instead she took the money and walked to the police station, which was in the opposite direction and then walked back home only to take a shower and leave right after to attend the charity soup kitchen. Anddd...Just explaining this made me tired" Yixing complained in one single breath as he took Baekhyun's seat on the plushy smoke.

"Maybe that one can be interesting after all" Baekhyun whispered.

"Yeah no kidding" Junmyeon added. "And you know the best part?" A perfidious smile pulled on his delicate features. "She was just ordained nun."

Baekhyun's face turned serious. All of a sudden the girl went from distraction of the day to possibly the ultimate challenge of corruption Baekhyun has been waiting for god knows how long (and he surely did not like to use that expression).

"Don't mess with me Envy!" Baekhyun called Junmyeon by his official name, testifying the gravity of his statement.

"I'm not kidding Lust" Junmyeon mocked Baekhyun's serious tone by also using his Sin name. "She decided the life of material things wasn't the way to happiness so she devoted herself to a humbler one, gifting her time and belongings to the poor and destitutes while she devoted her body to God only... look... Here she is"

With a flick of his wrist, green smoke emanated from thin air and formed a pierced circle where in the middle the reflection of a girl could be seen. Y/n was quiet, in the very humble room, a single window shone down onto the bed as she knelt at its side, palms joined, retreated into silent prayers.

She's perfect.

That was Baekhyun's first thought as an obscene smirk tugged at his lips. The black and white uniform she was wearing, the habit, couldn't fool the trained eyes of Baekhyun. All the fabric in the world couldn't hide away the glorious curves of her body, beautiful round ass gently nested on her heels. The holy swells of her chest softly lifting the thick black material of the habit and the wooden cross she was wearing around her neck.

Divine.

Was what described her best.

"She's beautiful" Baekhyun huffed in a soft murmur.

"Yeah I know." Chanyeol said, finally letting go of the hand held mirror. "I thought with such a pretty face she'd be easy to convince that she's above everyone else and just make her a pretentious, too-far-up-her-own-ass bitch. But I quickly realized it was a lost cause" he concluded.

"Yes..." Baekhyun spoke softly as he stared intensely at the girl. "She might just do"
