DEVIL'S DESIRE

ONE

Lee Haneul
The church bell rings three times indicating the end of the sermon. Everyone slowly begin to leave the church and some even stayed to do their prayer. "Haneul-ssi." The priest approached me as I was about to leave. "It's been long since you come to the church. How are you and your family?" He asked with concern. "Everything seems well for us. Eomma and appa starts a new life in order for them to not remember the tragedy." I replied and he nods. "It is hard to move on but I'm sure with prayers and faith, you guys will be able to get through it." His wise words just made me smile. "Thank you for your concern, Father. I shall make a move first." I bow slightly and leave the church.

I bun up my hair before starting my Black Honda CBR1000R motorcycle. As I am putting on my black leather gloves, I saw a group of woman in their forties gather nearby, looking at me. Gossiping in front of church, interesting. I turn the clutch causing the engine to roar loudly before getting on the bike. Putting on my helmet, I pulled down the visor and begin to ride past those ladies, letting them breathe the smoke released from the exhaust. Their loud scream makes me smirked behind my helmet. I make my way to my work place after receiving a few missed calls from the office. I hope good news from them.

"I hope you have good news for me." I announce my presence as soon I walk into the office. Everyone seems to be looking at me in silence. "What?" I raised my brow. "Haneul, in my office now!" I placed my bag on my table before walking in to the Head's office. "Close the door." He said and I did. "Why the fuck are you still working on the past case? Did I not tell you to close and dismiss it?" He throw the laboratory envelope on his desk. I clenched my jawline firmly and grabbed the envelope. "Leave it to rest huh? Then how many more murders are we expecting, Sir? Ten? Hundreds? Perhaps the whole Seoul?" I glare at him with fury.

"Yeah sure we can do that. Just expect calls from public saying they found dead bodies on random places and reports on missing people. The more we keep this matter in silence, the more they will live and kill people freely." My voice was loud enough to make him stand up and slammed his hands on the table. "You don't even have the starting point to solve these cases and yet here you are asking the medical examiners to release past autopsy reports." There was a long silence. "You know what, I'm done with you. Surrender your badge. You're suspended from duty until I say so." What the fuck!

I bite my inner cheek and smirk. "You had no idea what it feels like to have your loved ones getting murdered. You know what, I actually hope in the future, this nightmare happens to your loved ones and we shall see if it opens up your fucking eyes." I throw my badge and warrant card on his desk and left his office. I grabbed my bag and leave. I could feel the warm liquid forms on the brim of my eyes and I decided not to show my weakness to these people. I put on my helmet and ride my way out of the parking lot. I don't feel like going home right now to drown my sorrow. Instead, I make my way to one of the place where I release stress.

The sound of my motorcycle engine made the man who was smoking look at my direction. He smirked as soon as I took off my helmet and walked over towards him. "Which one am I going to be today? Your pleasure or your pain?" He dispose his cigarette and follow me into the abandoned building. "My pain." I replied as I take off my leather jacket and tied up my hair before putting on the boxing gloves. "Get in the ring." I said as I begin to bounce lightly in the ring and hit the boxing gloves as I prepare myself. Jun-ho gets into the ring and he licked his bottom lip.

"Come on, baby. I got you." I begin to throw my punch at him and of course as a professional he easily dodge it. I kick him on his abdomen and he grabbed my leg, pulling me close to him. "You seem weak today. Shall I be your pleasure instead?" He asked as he runs his finger along the strap of my sports bra. I snarled and punched his chest. He did not see that coming so I throw more punches to the extend he dropped and I stepped on his chest. He grabbed my feet and flipped me down before hovering over me and pinned me against the ring mat.

Jun-ho is my childhood friend who happens to be my personal trainer and also friend with benefits. He used to work for Italian mafia until he decided to leave and head back to South Korea. He dealt with my shits most of the time and has been there for me ever since the loss of my brother. "You want to tell me what the fuck is going on?" He asked as I struggle to escape from his grip. He let go of my hands and get off me. Instead he sat next to me and breathes heavily. "I got suspended." He smug. "I warned you didn't I? They will surely find out about you being sneaky as fuck. People wants to keep their job, Haneul. They have to do what is right for them." I rolled my eyes and get up. I get off from the ring, removing the gloves and head over to the fridge and get two bottles of mineral, throwing one to Jun-ho.

I gulped my drink fast and dispose the bottle before getting back on the ring. "It is almost six years since my brother died. No one says anything about it. Like as if people forget him. His death was one of the most talk about in town but now.. even my parents pretend like as if everything is fine. I know they're not. I could still hear eomma crying every night. Appa cleaning up his room even though he is no longer there." Jun- ho's thumb wipes off the tears that trail down my cheek. "You know it yourself that as we speak, people go missing and some get kill." I swallow the last word. The next thing I know, Jun-ho pulled me close to him and caresses my cheek. "How about this... since you've been suspended, we can still deal with this issue." I raised my brow. "But you have to deal it my way..

"The mafia way."
