DEVIL'S DESIRE

NINETEEN

Kim Taehyung POV
I stepped out of the tub while the woman I called eomma help me with the robe. I lifted up my dead grandmother before placing a kiss on her forehead. "May you rest well." I dropped her into the tub that I was in before. I took the matchstick from appa and light it up, tossing it into the tub. Tonight will be the last time I have to sacrifice my loved one. I groaned as the heaviness and pain on my back shoulders getting worst. "I'm going to do quick wash up before leaving." I told both my parents as I head over into the house. As soon as I take off the robe, I look at the mirror and check my shoulders. Right below it there is a long stretched of wound on each side of the shoulder and it felt like my skin just tore. I get into the shower and turn on the hot water.

The burning sensation made me scream loudly and I clawed my nails onto the mosaic tiles of the shower walls. I had to continue to wash the blood and dirt of my body, enduring the pain before stepping out of the shower. I put on my suit and look at myself in the mirror before I noticed my eyes pupils begin to dilated into full black. I closed my eyes and count till ten before opening them back. I leaned away from the sink counter and leave the room. "I'm going back to the city. You guys staying here tonight?" I asked my 'parents' who are having their make out session on the couch. I've seen worst. "Yeah we are. Plus I have to remove your grandmother's dead body." I thought for a while. "Yeah whatever. I'm leaving already." I said and leave the house without anymore words.

The drive back to the city was mundane and I had to put down the convertible top of my car and enjoy the night wind. I have to go back to The Royals as promised that the Priest will bring in his sacrificial lamb to seal the deal. I arrived at The Royals an hour and the half later. I could still see the long queue ongoing as people are waiting to enter the luxurious nightclub. "Evening Mr Kim." The bouncer greeted me as he allows me to enter. Felix gives me a nod as soon he sees me walk in. "Is he here yet?" I asked. "Yes. She is here too with her friend." Felix said as his eyes then look at the lounge. Haneul is with Jun Ho who has his hands all over Haneul that simply look expressionless. "Send her a glass of Devil's Desire." Felix nod before I leave the bar.

I went to the VIP lounge and saw the priest is already there with the rest of the cult member. He is holding a black box and I am assuming that is the heart for the sacrifice ritual. "I brought the item for ritual." He said as he hand it over to me. I opened up the box. It is covered in black cloth and I placed it on the table. I begin to unwrapped the cloth and saw a heart that is still pulsing. "Lets head over to the ritual room." I said and placed back the heart into the box. "You may leave now." I told the priest. "That's it? I don't have to participate in the ritual?" He asked as we're about to leave. "No. That is how it works. You give us the sacrifice item and we offer it to the devil. If he accepts it then your life will change just like how you want it to be but if he rejects it, you'll die. My advice is, go home and say your prayer." With that I left the room with the rest.

The seven of us head downstairs to the ritual room that is located hidden near the bar area. I placed my thumb on the handle letting the needle pierced it to allow my blood gain access to the door. Once the door opened, each of the member grabbed their black robe and put it on except for Jungkook who took is red robe due to his status being the High Priest. Hoseok hyung begin to light up the candles with Jimin while Namjoon hyung prepare the things for the ritual. I could feel Yoongi's eyes are on me. "Shall we begin the ritual?" Jungkook ask and I nod as I pull out the heart from the black box and placed it on the centre of the circle that was made by Jin hyung. The ritual begin.

Haneul POV
I saw him and the rest of his friends walking down from the lounge and head straight behind the bar. I immediately push Jun Ho aside and get up from the lounge. "Where are you going?" He asked and I ignore him. I head over to the bar and Felix smile. "Ah just in time. I was about to serve this at your table." He slides the red and black drink that Taehyung named in Devil's Desire. "Mr Kim wants me to serve it to you." Well he did saw me afterall and yet he did not approach me. "Thank you but no thanks. Do let him know I rejected his drink" I push the glass back to Felix before looking at the glass bottles behind him. "Get me the most expensive and strongest one and put it under Taehyung's tab then."

"Just when I thought my night could not get any better until I saw you here." This pervert priest sat on the empty stool next to me. Of course he is not in his uniform. He is wearing formal casual outfit."I heard from your mother what happened. Thank god, you survived." He said as he took the glass of whiskey that Felix was about to serve me and neck it down. I am trying to keep it cool right now. "Can you make me bloody Mary instead?" I asked Felix and he nods. "Extra spicy." I added. I took the Devil's Desire that Felix has yet to dispose and sip on it. "Your guy friend there seems to be having so much fun. Why don't we have our own fun." He still never learn.

His fingers trail down my back that is exposed by the dress itself. Felix served me the bloody Mary drink. I took a sniff out of it before take a sip on it. Totally spicy. "How is your skin still so soft and smooth even though you were burnt in the fire incident?" He asked and I still keep quiet. The image of Taehyung lifting me up from the floor and walk past the flames played in my head. "Felix, when will Taehyung be available?" I asked the bartender. "I am not sure, Ms Lee." That means he will be away for a while. Now I have something planned up in my head. I turned my head and noticed that Jun Ho is absolutely intoxicated by the private strippers on the table he booked. The moment the curtain draws, I know what is about to go down and not a flying fuck given.

I stand up and adjust my tight dress. The priest totally make it obvious that he was checking me out. "You have a very beautiful ass, Haneul." He grabbed them and my reaction was immediate. I gripped onto his wrist and slammed it on the marble top. "Felix, do you mind helping me by holding him down?" The bartender rolled up his sleeves and hold down both of the priest's hand. I tugged onto his hair roughly, forcing him to look at me. "Didn't I warned you not to touch me." I immediately grabbed the bloody mary and took a huge gulp on it before spitting the spicy liquid directly on his face which cause his eyes to burn by the hot sauce that was added into the drink. I heard people murmuring behind me which means this caught people's attention.

Kim Taehyung POV
While everyone is busy chanting the ritual spell with their eyes close. I opened them up and saw him standing in the middle of the circle and was holding onto the heart. "Not sure if I want to accept this sinner's offering."  The devil said as he walks over to me. I'm guessing the rest are not aware about his presence. "While you and your friends are busy making his offerings to me, your beloved detective is torturing him with something spicy. You might want to check on her." With that he disappear.

The heart dropped and burst into flames which means the offering was accepted. I'm sure he is testing everything right now. I immediately took off my robe and leave the room, making my way back to the club. I saw Haneul throwing punches on the priest's face that is now broken and her knuckles is all bloodied. "WHO GOING TO STOP YOU NOW HUH? MY MOTHER OR FATHER IS NOT HERE TO SAVE YOUR SORRY ASS!" She yells in his face before she stepped away. I noticed that Jun Ho is just watching from far.

"Were you trying to seek my attention?" I asked as I stood behind her and she turned to look at me with anger in her eyes. "Go to hell. I don't need anyone's attention. Especially you." She replied and left the club. I look at the priest and grab him by his collar and whispered into his ear. "Good news, your offering has been accepted by the devil himself. Bad news, you'll be living in hell starting from now on cause

"You just made a deal with me, the Devil's son." My pupils immediately dilated fully black.
