DEVIL'S DESIRE

THIRTY-ONE

"Taehyung.." my hand slowly reached out to touch his soft flawless skin. He gently leans against my palm. "Are you real?" I asked quietly. "Whatever way you want to think of me as. Real or a nightmare for you." I gently brush my fingers along his skin. "Am I dead?" I asked and he chuckles. "No. Not yet." He replied. "Go and get more rest, Haneul. We will see each other again real soon." He gently placed me back on the pillow. Somehow I managed to get a proper sleep for the rest of the night.

My body jerked awake when I heard footsteps approaching me. "Good morning, Haneul." The nurse greeted me as she begin to check whatever that is necessary. From my blood pressure to my pulse rate. "Please tell me everything is alright so I can go home." I said and the nurse grimace. "Hmm well your temperature is still high. Plus you have yet to eat anything. We shall see how it goes after we serve your breakfast." I have no appetite. How am I suppose to force the food down my throat when the appetite is gone. "Dr Eun Chae will be here in a moment." She said before leaving the ward. I slowly try to get up from the bed. I need to pee badly. The door opened and Eun Chae walks in. "Where are you going?" She asked. "To the washroom. I need to pee." I said and she come forward to assist me.

"They're preparing your breakfast and around two o'clock, I will come to take you on a urine test." Eun Chae said as she walk me to the bathroom. "For what reason?" I questioned her. "Medical reason." She replied before standing in front of the door and not closing it. "Can you shut the door?" I asked and she raised her brow. "Don't worry. I've been looking at this from the beginning of my career." She smirked before leaning against the door and wait for me while I'm finding my release. Once I'm done cleaning and washing my hands, Eun Chae take me back to the bed. "Listen, you need to eat. Please it is for your own good. You may still be grieving but your health is important too." Eun Chae said as the nurse serve my breakfast. Pancakes and bacon with scrambled eggs along with a glass of tea.

"Eat up. I will give you your medication after this." Eun Chae leave me alone in the ward. I'm staring at the food. I'm sure it will be tasteless but my stomach is growling. I have no choice but to consume it. I force myself to eat the food and slowly chewing it like as if it is a pain and torture for me. Few weeks ago, I confronted and killed him but now here I am keep seeing him everywhere. Be it with my eyes open or close. Once I'm done with the breakfast, the nurse walks in to collect the tray and she prepares to serve my medication. I watch every movement the nurse made. Her hands are trembling as she hand the medication to me. Something fishy is going on here. I look at the nurse's face carefully. I've seen her before. I recalled that moment and immediately pushed her hand away causing the pills to scatter all over the floor.

"Oops.. my bad. I don't like swallowing pill. The only thing I can swallow well is..." I grabbed the nurse by her neck and pinned her head down on the small table which my food tray was placed earlier on. "Now tell which one among the five of them sent you to kill me?" I hissed by her ear as I pinned her down. "I saw you before at The Royals. One of their slut. Now tell me which one." I applied pressure before she elbowed my stomach causing me to release her. "Hoseok told me to send his regard to you." The woman point a gun directly on my forehead. I hold her wrist and twist it which now cause the gun to be pointing at the temple of her forehead. "Then maybe you can send my regard and love to Taehyung in hell." I whispered.

"Haneul stop!" Eun Chae walks in and I didn't let go.  "She was sent by Hoseok to kill me. Maybe this hospital should work on its security." I pushed the bitch towards Eun Chae who eventually took the gun away from the woman's hand easily. Eun Chae whispered something in the woman's ear and blow a wind. The next thing I knew, the slut is fast asleep. "I got this. I will call Yoongi immediately." Eun Chae placed the woman on the hospital bed. "She won't be awake until I tell her so. Now give me a moment." Eun Chae takes out her phone and immediately call Yoongi. "You care to tell me HOW THE FUCK THEY KNEW SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL???" Oh the nice gentle doctor is gone now. "You better get your ass here fast, Min Yoongi." She snapped and hang up the phone.

I pulled off the needles of the IV drip on my left hand and also other unnecessary wires on me. "Discharge me now. I'll leave Seoul. Hell! I'll leave this goddamn country if I have to keep my ass safe." I said to Eun Chae. "Trust me, Haneul. Wherever you go, even to the very end of the world or deepest down below the earth, they will still hunt you down. You killed one of the main Agma cult member and even burn the church that was built a very long time ago by their ancestors, of course they won't let you go easily. You're the toughest girl they've ever met. Even Maria is not as tough as you." I look at the door and saw Yoongi standing there. "Discharge her. I'll take her to one of the most safest place for her to rest right now." Eun Chae look at me and she sigh.

"We're here." Yoongi turn off the car engine and I got out of the car. The underground basement has a lot of expensive collection of cars. This place looks a little bit too familiar. "Where are we?" I asked. "Somewhere safe for you. For now." He added the last two words softly. I follow him into the elevator and he tapped his card on top of the buttons before pressing the letter P on one of the button. When the elevator ping and the door open, my mouth parted slightly. "This is one of his hidden penthouse. Only I know about it. He came here whenever he wants to be away from the rest of the cult. You may see him as the guy who is known to the world by his popularity of his designs and masterpiece but the truth is he is the most private guy. He kept many things from all of us. I got to know about this penthouse when he and I were working on something in the past. "Hmm how do I put this... he is like Batman. Bruce Wayne to the world and Batman with me as his butler. Perfect example." Yoongi chuckles and I just give him the poker face. Can't believe this man has humor.

After Yoongi left me alone that night, I stood by the balcony while downing a bottle of red wine that I found in the wine storage. "Trust me, Haneul. Wherever you go, even to the very end of the world or deepest down below the earth, they will still hunt you down. You killed one of the main Agma cult member and even burn the church that was built a very long time ago by their ancestors, of course they won't let you go easily." Eun Chae's word keep on repeating in my head. Then what is the point of leaving.

Maybe instead of getting kill, I should... I turn my back and leaned against the balcony railing. I close my eyes and neck down every last drop of the wine. I rock my body back and forth slowly before I count to three, dropping the wine bottle on the floor. I push my body backward and at that moment, I just plead forgiveness to God for committing suicide. I couldn't hold it any longer. The wind is strong and there is no more gravity holding me back. This is it, death awaits for me at the ground. I'm finally going to meet eomma, appa and Jun-Ho in hell. From 70th floor down to the first is surely a long journey. Nothing else matter anymore. However, the world is not ready for my loss just yet. Even Hell is not ready to welcome me. I felt a pair of hands caught me. My eyes opened wide and he is smiling down at me.

"Now I know why my dad didn't allow me to remove my wings. To save you, princess. Your time in this world is not over yet."

A/N: The prince of hell is here.
