DEVIL'S DESIRE

SEVENTEEN

Kim Taehyung POV
"Mr Kim..." The red hair secretary snapped me out from my thought. "The detective is here." I nod and dismiss the red head. A man and a woman walks into my officer and I stood up, offering them a friendly handshake. "I'm detective In Yeop and this is my partner Hyereong. Detective Haneul is unable to make it today." As expected after what I did to her. "Lets cut the chase shall we? We going to ask you a straightforward questions." I leaned against my seat comfortably and look at them. "Go ahead. I'm all ears." I replied confidently.

"You knew the models were missing. Why didn't you lodge a report?" Dumb question. "I am the CEO of this company as you can tell. I overview everything. Plus I am not their manager. If someone that is aware about the missing models, that would be their manager first. Not me. In fact, I rarely meet all these models unless there is huge events." I slide a piece of paper to them. "These are the names of the missing models. How do I know? It was reported to me during meetings. All these models that went missing were international models. They did not have any contract with us. So what makes you think they won't run away after being paid a large sum of amount?" Time to mess around with their head. The fact all these models were fucked and consumed by me and the rest of the cult members.

"So you meant to tell me that they run away?" I nod. "I can get the finance department to send you guys the cheque copy and payslip of these models." The detectives nod. "Another question, you own a club and these models were spotted there before. Some were even at the lounge where you're seated." The guy placed photos of  me sitting with the models in the lounge along with Jimin, Hoseok and Jin hyung. "Tell me detective. You yourself as a man, if women that looks hot like these approached you, wouldn't it turn you on?" He cleared his throat.

"Exactly. Plus I didn't know they were models under my company. We fucked and that's about it." I saw the female shifted in her seat. Seems like they are getting uncomfortable. "Any more questions?" I asked and they shake their head. "No. Thank you for your cooperation. We end this interrogation with you, Sir." Dumbass. As soon as they left, I got up and locked the door before informing my secretary that I'm busy. I made my way to the room that is hidden behind the white walls and enter it. Haneul's blood taste still lingers on my lips. I put on my black robe and begin to light up the candles and inhale the smoke. I could feel his energy revolves around me. I grabbed the dagger and carve the symbol of hell on the table before let my blood drop on it. I lift up the candle and let the wax drip down the symbol before setting it into flame.

"Father of Hell, I seek your guidance.
I sacrifice the lives of these people that has been bothering me. Let them feel what hell is like as they stood on this earth."

I blow into the fire three times before it went off. I took off the robe and leave my office. I decided to drop by Haneul's place to check on her. "Taehyung? What a surprise visit!" Her mother exclaimed. "Is Haneul in?" I asked as she allows me to enter. "No. Haneul went to the station to send back Kihyung's files." Fuck! "Very well then. Thank you." With that I left and immediately drives fast to the station. No.. do not fuck this up, Kim Taehyung. How the fuck is she even able to wake up and go through normal day after what happened last night. My car slow down the moment I saw people are gathering far from the station. My car could not get any further due to the crowd. Fuck me, the station is already burning in flames. I got out of the car and run through the crowd.

"HANEUL!" I screamed for her. "Sir, you can't cross this line. The fire are wild and aggressive right now." One of the fireman said. Dammit! I have to find a way to enter. I close my eyes and when I open it back, I look at the fireman dead in his eyes. "Let me in." Smooth as expected, he allows me to enter. I run towards the back of the building and every perimeter is covered in flames. My back is getting heavy and burning pain. I think it is time for me to embrace my true self. I braced myself and enter the building that is covered in fire. I'm sure this is what hell is like. "Haneul!" I screamed for her name and I could see a lot of burning dead bodies on the ground. After searching I finally saw her laying right at the end of the room where the fire is at ease. "Taehyung.." she whispered my name and held out her hand to reach me.

I quickly lift her up and leave the building before it explodes. I had no choice but to pretend to be the survivor along with Haneul. "I need help here!" I said weakly and both of us are smeared in black ashes. "Check her first." I told the medic and ensure them I'm fine. They let me breathe into the oxygen to clear my lungs which I don't really need honestly. "We will bring her to the National Seoul hospital." The medic said and I nod. "Let the hospital have my number. Get them to update me as soon they treat." I give them my number and run back to my car. I get into the car and leaned my head on the headrest and close my eyes.

I almost lost her. I'm glad that I tasted her blood last night and even induced her with my own blood to protect her. I consider myself a blessing as I could easily bond with Haneul using my blood because of who I am. Unlike how Jungkook had to deal when he wanted to bond with Na Ra. Rituals and such. I opened my eyes as I felt his presence. "Hope you learnt your lesson here." He said as he look at the crowd while his long nails tap on the side of the car. "I've met Haneul before and I can tell that she is one hell of a strong woman. I admire her boldness and confidence. I purposely set the fire while she's inside and it came to my surprise that she survived while the rest is dead." I turned to look at him.

"You knew she was inside and yet you set the fire?" I gritted my teeth and he clicked his snake like tongue. "Of course. Consider herself lucky to have your blood flows in her. That is what saved her from the burning hell you prayed for."  He then begin to press the back of my shoulder which has been in pain for a very long time and laughs. "How old are you this year?" He asked suddenly. "Thirty-six." I replied and he smiles sinisterly before forcing me to look at him.

"Time flies huh? I think it is time for you take over the throne, son."
