It’s been a couple of days since Inferno came back from Busan and stayed locked in his dark palace.

Though the thirst for revenge burst into flames in his heart and Inferno had already given orders to trap the prey he had set his eyes on, he couldn’t help but to feel that tingling poke its head out at the thought of the girl with honey-kissed eyes bare of any darkness.

Even if she was putting forth a disguise that he thought it was, it still managed to touch his heart and he couldn’t help but feel drawn to Angel.

Angel, not Venom.

No matter how much he wanted to hurt Venom, the simple thought of Angel dwindled his anger like popping a water bubble.

Likewise, No matter how much he liked seeing Angel or talking to her, the simple thought of Venom flipped his switch so bad that he wanted to set everything on fire.

Wasn’t it already hard that it’s become even more complicated for him now?

“What if you end up hurting someone who is not even a part of this in the first place Taehyung?”

For the first time, Inferno called himself by that forbidden name and he was himself shocked that his tongue didn’t tremble even a little.

“What if you end up hurting… her”

The mere thought of the girl with sun-kissed eyes and that bright smile of hers was what struck his mind. Inferno still remembered that day clear as crystal.

The day he found Angel.

“What difference would it make if I do just the same?”

“How can I say that I’m any different from …..Venom?” Just a soft roll of that name over his tongue made it bitter than the poison itself. Oh how truly he hated that creature.

Those soulless brutal eyes bare of any humanity, intimidating and animalistic. Inferno truly hated those.

The flex of his jaw as his teeth ground against each other was enough to show how he despised the mere thought of the she-devil.

“And what if she’s making a fool out of me yet again? What if it really isn’t that innocent girl she pretends to be?”

A deep sigh left his mouth as the thought made his heart hurt at the idea.

Then there is no Angel?

Familiar soft giggles boomed in the back of his mind. The sunlight seemed to radiate from her instead of the sun itself.

The way she gazed at him with those honey orbs, the way he felt himself drown in those deep waters kissed by the sun.

He remembered it all.

It felt as if he skydived into the fresh breeze and it filled up his lungs to the point it tickled his insides. An exhale was what left his mouth.

This feeling was too known to be considered strange.

NO!

“This can’t be…”

Inferno clutched onto his palpitating heart feeling it flutter more and more with every memory of hers.

Angel

The name itself made him breathe in deeply and exhale shuddering to the goosebumps that kissed along his skin.

“This can-… not happen.”

“I cannot fall in love again. No!”

“NO!”
