DEVIL'S DESIRE

THIRTY-SIX

Do Kyung POV
I headed back to the office that night to look through the case file of Kim Taehyung's death. A straight forward case. Report written it as: Burnt in the church and was confirmed dead at the scene. I even look through the photos of him taken after he was found. It is him. The same Kim Taehyung I saw walking out of the alley with Haneul. I got up from my seat and decided to make a cup of coffee for myself in the pantry. Tonight shall be a long night for me.

Haneul POV
The devil has his own face. The face that will gives you nightmare whenever you fall asleep. The face you will always remember. The face that I'm.. "you alright princess?" Taehyung asked as his hand placed on my thigh and rubbing it gently. I got startled for a moment and look at him. Long seconds before I nod, indicating that I am fine. After I've reached home, Taehyung and I had a shower together. We didn't speak much. Only our bodies does the talking. He fixed dinner after which and promised a movie night with me before bed.

I was staring at the film that is currently on but none of it is being processed in my brain. I slowly begin to lay my head on his chest. His hand hold me and his hand begin to run along my hair. "You're one strong badass bitch you know that right?" Taehyung said as he lifted up my chin before he leans down and kiss me. I don't know if I could consider myself strong anymore after what I saw tonight. My hand rested on his arm as we deepened the kiss. Our moment was interrupted when my phone suddenly buzzed. I look at the name on the screen before glance up at Taehyung. "Answer it." He said and I sit up before answering the phone.

"Haneul! Do Kyung here. I just want to check on you. How have you been holding up?" My team partner asked and I sigh. Right I have yet to tell anyone about my resignation but since he is kind enough to check on me, I am just going to reply his question. "I am doing fine. I am just trying my best to move on from everything." I said as I sit on the bed and run my fingers in circle on the black silk bedsheet. "Which include resigning your job?" So he knows. "Do Kyung, I have to. I need to get away from everything. Don't worry about me. I'll drop by the office tomorrow to surrender my badge and do some handover." I said to Do Kyung who simply respond me with a sigh before he said okay. "Goodnight, Do Kyung." I hang up the call and look at my phone for awhile.

"You resigned?" Taehyung overheard the conversation and I look up at him. "Hmm yes. I don't think I can work as detective any longer. It will be conflict of interest for me." I said as I get off the bed and pour myself a glass of water before downing it in a gulp. "Conflict of interest?" He repeated my words. "The fact that I am working on a case that involves you or your friends being the murderer." I felt his hands wrapped around my waist. "So you letting us off?" He whispered. "Well someone might step in one day and take over the whole cases. You'll never know." I said as I turned to him. "But now, I'm out of the whole damn cases. Not going to get involve with any of it." I said and Taehyung smile devilishly before he leans down to kiss me. From the way we kiss, I know it will be another long night for us.

Yoongi POV
Everyone is back at Jungkook's mansion except for Taehyung of course. The high priest seems unhappy. He takes off his blazer and throw it on the couch before yelling out in frustration. "I warned you didn't I? Next time try to listen and shove your fucking ego aside." I said as I light up a cigarette and Jungkook glare at me. I am not scared of him. He is nothing without being a devil's vessel. Taehyung on the other hand, he is the devil. I'm quite surprise that he didn't reveal his true self just yet. "Shut your fucking mouth, hyung!" Jungkook grabbed on my collar but Jin stopped the situation from becoming a blood brawl.

"Enough Jungkook! You do not have the right to be pissed at Yoongi. He was just giving you a fair warning from the start. You on the other hand, you were obsessed in hunting down Haneul just because she killed Taehyung. I've been watching your behavior Jungkook. Honestly, it is just immature for you to act this way." Jin hyung grabbed his coat and head upstairs to his room. My attention then shifted to Hoseok. "Just to let you know, the slut that you sent to kill Haneul is dead. Her body is at the back of your car. Go check it out." I smirked before making my way to the study room. Namjoon walks into the room while I was reading a random book about the celestial world of demons. "We need to talk. About Taehyung." I continue to read but he knows I'm listening.

"You know anything about Tae?" He asked and I just spare a quick glance at him before I shrugged. "Seems like you do. If not, you wouldn't even care to warn Jungkook about preying on Haneul." I continue to read and I could hear Namjoon clicking his tongue. "Fine! Be all silent. You must know that we still have our eyes on her. Even though Taehyung is back." I closed the book and tossed it aside before looking up at the 6ft tall man. "Do whatever you want, Namjoon. I couldn't care less. I've done my job to warn all of you and now that Taehyung is back, perhaps we are able to find out why I sent out the warning to all of you." I got up from my seat and head over to the spare room. It is hard to keep the secret of having a new devil among us.

Taehyung is one of those that I won't expect to be a vessel due to his reputation as a cult member. Among all of us, he did not make a lot of deals and didn't attend most of the ritual. But now, I guess that explains why. Those were not meant for him. He is meant to rule hell that is beneath all of us. If they find out the truth that Taehyung is the devil's child, everything will change. Mainly the Agma cult. I wonder if they will choose to still worship whom they believe is still the devil or they willing to accept and bow down to Taehyung. I stood by the window and recall what Taehyung told me before he died.
"Hyung, whatever happen please protect Haneul at all cost. My father admires her. He could potentially sees her as my queen. He wants her to be part of me.

"He wants Haneul to be the one that carry the devil's bloodline."
