A Demon's Tale

{6}

"Ahh... i can't believe i'm walking beside a fucking demon-"

"I can hear that, douchbag."

He sighed while checking the room signs. They walked for a few seconds until they stopped at a specific room. Renjun took a deep breath before knocking on the wooden door.

Someone opened it, which seem to be the nurse he always encountered when he visited this person. He bowed respectfully while pulling Hanzel's head down with him.

She groaned and pushed his hand from her head and folded her arms, avoiding eye contact with the nurse.

"Can i... see my mom?" Renjun rubbed his nape while the nurse smiled and walked away from them. Hanzel just bowed her head a little as a response instead of Renjun pulling her head.

She looked around the room to see a middle aged women with grey hairs sitting on the wheelchair while staring out of the window.

She saw her reflection and she could tell that she wasn't normal. Her skin was as pale as snows during winter, and her lips were dry like the drought season.

"Mom...?" Renjun spoke up as he slowly approached her, but not too close. Because he knew what are the consequences if he even touched her with his fingertips.

"Who's that, Renjun...?"the lady asked with a raspy and old voice. Hanzel grinned and showed a 'peace' sign.

"Sup. Name's Seo Hanzel."

Renjun glared at her and as expected, her grin turn into an evil smirk. She mocked his face and turned her attention to the old lady.

"May i... know your name?"

She tried to sound as polite and soft as possible when the lady's head turned to her as she noticed her eyebags. She must cried too long for her eyes to be swollen and sad like that. Hanzel raised her eyebrows and stared at the lady.

But how could she know? They just met today.

Renjun sighed at her attitude and approached his mother with a smile. "She's a friend, mom."he said. She nodded and stood up while holding a stick to support her weak body.

"M-mom!"

Renjun walked past her and brought the wheelchair to where she was standing which was in front of Hanzel.

He placed the wheelchair at the right place before she sat on it and dropped the stick on the ground. Slowly, her arms stretched out, signalling the demon to get closer.

Renjun talked using his eyes while Hanzel seem to understand it and knelt on the ground, facing her face and matching her height. The lady touched her soft cheeks and caresses it before a tear escaped from her eye.

"You... i know you..."she muttered out.

"M-me?"

"You're the girl... the girl who killed Renjun..."

Renjun approached them, knowing it was getting dangerous. His mother is not a normal person and you can't talk to her normally. He knew something happened.

"In my dreams..."her hands trailed on her neck as she grabbed it. But Hanzel didn't show any sign of pain. "You killed him!"

Renjun tried to stop her from choking the demon but she was faster to raise her hand and red smokes came swirled between it. She moved her fingers like she was sparkling magic,

And the lady fainted.

"Yah, what did you-"

"Don't worry. I just erased her memories."

Renjun sighed and moved the wheelchair back to the window, then walked to Hanzel.

"So you got a crazy mom. Congratulations! What's next?"

"We're done for today..."

He said while fixing his backpack and stepped out of the room, leaving her hanging. She huffed as she tailed behind him. After they reached the ground floor, she whined.

"What do you mean by done for today? Did you forget that i need to know the reasons for you stay alive so that i could tell the Dark Lord to not kill you?!"

"So... are you helping me?"

He turned to her, making her froze at the same place when Renjun approached her face and smirked. She blinked in confusion regarding their close proximity and she could feel his hot breath on her face.

"W-what? No, no... Well, sort of so that i can go back to hell and won't meet you again!"she defended herself when Renjun chuckled, showing his bright smile after a long time.

"Heol... i really made a Demon flustered because of my handsome face."he fanned himself while speaking sassily. She widen her eyes and stuttered.

"Y-yah... when did i got flustered- aiishh..."she walked past him to the exit and cupped her hot cheeks. "What- why- wh-what just happened, fuc-"

Renjun smiled to himself as he ran out of the hospital while shouting.

"Wait for me, Demon!"

Out of all the demons he met before, she is the first one who he talked with and became friends- well if she agrees to. But he felt comfortable with her, like she wasn't a Demon but just a cold girl who became his friend after being assigned to kill him.
