You stood in the middle of the hall, not being able to take your eyes off your hand, as well as not being able to tell if what the demon was saying was true or false. But even though you kept on telling him you didn't believe him, he didn't stop telling you the same thing over and over again: that your dad deliberately used violence on him and that you should have visited him.
"I said I won't come. End of story."
Don't worry, you don't have to come right now. These scars will probably last for at least two weeks.
There's no way dad did something like that to him. He just doesn't use torture, ever. It somehow felt like you were trying to convince yourself of that, and it was annoying. You hated the way he was able to create chaos in your mind, making you doubt the person you had known your whole life. "You can stop trying to fool me, I'm not believing your lies. Now stop communicating with me, I'm busy."
You were surprised to see he actually didn't send any other message, and you wondered if it was because he was sure that, sooner or later, you would've gone in the basement.
No, you shook your head. I'm never going near him, I won't give him the satisfaction of knowing he can control me.
But why did it feel like you were telling yourself a big lie?
Why did it feel like somehow, for some reason, you were going to end up in front of his cage?
:: Wed, 22 Sep - evening
You kept switching your phone from one hand to the other, and too many questions kept coming and going through your mind. All of them were about Suji and Yoongi.
"Stop, y/n, just stop and do it" you said to yourself out loud before finally pressing the button to call Suji. As soon as it started ringing, you felt the impulse to hang up and throw the phone away, but you resisted.
It didn't take long for her to pick up the call. "Y/n... hey" Suji sounded surprised. She probably thought you were hating her by now.
You took a deep breath and decided to speak. I mean, usually both people spoke when they were on a call, and you seemed to remember that only after a long minute of silence. "Yes, it's me. Hi." As if she couldn't read my name on her phone when I called her, you rolled your eyes because of the dumb thing you said.
"After many ignored messages and calls, you finally talk to me" you could tell she was smiling, and the best thing was that she didn't sound angry at all (not that she really have a reason to be angry, really). "I'm so sorry for what I've done, really. You have all the rights to be angry at me, but please, don't stop talking to me. I couldn't stand it. It has been so hard for me these days - I wanted to come to your house so many times, but I thought you needed space."
"Yeah, I needed some." You admitted.
"Yeah. So..." she started again. "Why did you call me?"
"Uhm..." you rolled your eyes because you were just being irrational right now. She was your best friend, you could talk to her freely instead of taking forever to say something. "I just wanted to tell you that I thought about what you've done a lot."
Suji stayed silent, waiting for you to continue.
"And... Well, I realised I can't let a guy come between us, Suji. Not even if it's Yoongi. Plus, as my mum said, he's not the only guy in the world, I just need to expand my horizons and notice other people as well, you know?"
The image of the demon in your basement flashed through your mind for a moment, with his big, black wings opening majestically as it happened when he first came out of that truck. His face in that cloud seemed so vivid in your memories and, at that very inappropriate moment, you wondered what would have happened if he had leaned in. Would it have been possible to feel his lips on yours if he had tried to kiss you?
