Night Hag | SaChaeng

Message

It's been two days. Two days without Chaeyoung's presence. For Sana, yesterday felt like a year and today, it feels like she's been waiting for two years. Yes, editing distracted her somehow but it would not be the same without Chaeyoung bringing a tray with a plate of something to dig in her room, or sleeping unconcerned and peacefully because she knows Chaeyoung will be there to watch.

Sana's been longing to see Chaeyoung that she's beginning to feel fictional even though it's just two days. She needs the sleep demon to become real again, silently hoping for her to come back.

The three content creators gathered in Sana's room, watching the edited laptop vlog that hasn't been exported yet. They need to check if the clips she used fit the vlog, if the texts are correct and if the background music balanced the raw noises.

But the latter could not focus. That night where she followed Chaeyoung still lingers in her head:

"What in the world is this place?" She just stares with wide opened eyes, cannot shut. Right in front of her is huge office, that never gives off bright light but darkness, heat and forced exhausted workers roaming around in fast paces. Sana can even feel the eternity of complete isolation from the god.

"This is Abyss and a human is not supposed to be here. Who are you, miss?" Sana was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a mysterious person; with just a blink as if they teleported.

It was a lady in a medieval white cloak with an aketon underneath it, one rusty golden pauldron on the right shoulder and metal rings both wrapped around her forearms. A grin flashes on her mouth which confuses Sana.

"Abyss?" Sana set her foot outside the elevator the moment she asked the person who welcomed her.

"The first layer of hell. Humans like you can resist the temperature here. But! You must leave now." The lady warned her. "Or perhaps you're looking for someone?"

"Well... I'm... actually looking for Chaeyoung." Instead of receiving an answer, location or whatever direction the certain person headed, an insane laughter came in a short burst. The cacophony of cackles shook through Sana and the giggling grew louder and more delusional.

"Ah! haha... ha... ha... You must be Minatozaki Sana, the, 'Hi hottie!'" Another laughter from the lady shook through her yet again. And what 'Hi hottie'?

"I'm Dahyun by the way, friend of the night hag you're looking for." Finally, the lady introduced herself.

"What do you mean hi hottie?"

"Oh, yeah of course you didn't know you flirted with my friend way back her first night attack. Bet you chugged a lot that time."

"D-did I?" Sana blushed as she tries to recall all the things happened that day. Dahyun could be making up a story but at the same time it's possible since she was so wasted that time.

Both of them suddenly heard a loud scream coming from a prohibited room. Soon followed by continuous pounds on something; might be a table or a wall.

"Sorry about that. The Diablo's probably scolding Chaeyoung with the reason that we never heard of her for days until one of our incubuses reported a trouble she caused." Knowing these information worries Sana. The good acts Chaeyoung did for her resulted to a consequence like this. She forgot that Chaeyoung is a demon, who supposed to do the malevolent things on earth.

"What's gonna happen to her?"

"The initial punishment was to set her on fire but since she's special, she'll only be sent to a solitary confinement." Curiosity grew from Sana's head after hearing that Chaeyoung is special. So, she didn't not hesitate to ask Dahyun about it. "Well to explain this briefly, we punish the people who died with a record of light sins by putting them to the sea of fire. Then the fire will torture and consume them slowly which provides more evil energy to us. But in Chaeyoung's case, it was a... mistake. So, the Diablo ended up hiring her." Dahyun explained. Sana wanted to know what kind of mistake was that but if Dahyun disclose it, she'll be sent to the confinement as well.
