The devil's lover ENG

~Chapter 35~

Hey angels! I hope you have a great day/night<3

So-Bin didn't know how or when, but he ended up being tied up. He couldn't even figure out that much. And the way he ended up being tied up made him wonder if he actually passed out or something since it happened so fast and it was impossible for such a thing to be done and merely 7 seconds.

His hands were tied up against his back, his ankles painfully pressed against each other. He was hanging upside down, for some reason a chain that wasn't there before keeping him in the air with no chance to even defend himself or fight back.

But then he felt like laughing at himself.

Could he really do anything against Jungkook? He knew damn well he couldn't stand a chance, that he was doomed. But like any other human being in such a situation, he felt the need to fight back and escape. It was his instinct! It was something natural.

Oh, and Jungkook knew that damn well. The smirk on his face was saying it all. No words needed to be said. The raven knew more than enough about the way... humans work. About the way they think.

About how similar they are to his demons.

Because humans are sinners and monsters in their own way. And that's no secret. They are the only species that can kill out of pure pleasure. Just think about it. Animals kill because they need food in order to survive. Demons killed because they needed to feed on souls from time to time to become stronger.

It's funny.

Even his kind had a reason to kill. A good one.

So-Bin shook his head furiously.

"You don't have to do this, you know?"

So-Bin tried to be strong and fight back, he tried to show no fear but he miserably failed. So maybe, if he was nice and tried to talk the raven out of whatever he wanted to do to him, maybe he would still stand a chance.

He was desperate.

He wanted to live.

"Oh? I see what's going on... You are trying to talk me out of it but...do you really think it will work? In case you are wondering, I'm doing this for two reasons. The first reason is because all your stupid actions affected someone I care about so of course I can't let you get away with that. The second reason is because no innocent person deserves to go through what you made that poor girl endure. That mental and emotion torture."

If somebody heard him say such a thing they would laugh in his face. And he wouldn't be surprised. He himself would slap himself if he didn't have an image and a reputation to maintain.

"None of those affect you. None at all! Not even a little bit!"

And the idiot was right.

But...

"It is enough if it affects the one I care about."

It's more than enough.

Even if Taehyung frowned, he would be ready to throw hands any time.

Slowly, Jungkook started to make his way behind So-Bin while the man that was tied up could only swallow hard and pray.

Yes, pray.

Suddenly, a rush of pain went through his entire body, especially his back. It was stinging and he could feel the blood running down his skin. What was that? He has never, ever experienced such pain. A pitiful scream left his lips, followed by another and another one and so many more. Judging from the sound it was making and the long wounds it would print on his back, So-Bin was sure the weapon the raven was using was a whip.

He lost track of time, but by the time Jungkook got bored of playing around with him, he ended up just like the other wanted him to be, covered in blood and in terrible pain, feeling more miserable than ever. The agony he was feeling in that very moment was unimaginable.

On the other hand, there was Jungkook, who was more than satisfied with his artwork. Truth to be told, he was going to stop sooner but after hearing those cries and screams, he just couldn't stop. It was so pleasing to hear them. And seeing the vulnerable state of the mortal in front of him only added to his ego as if it was fed with the other's pain.

"Well, well, well. Isn't this fun?"

Gigglings were filling the barn and Jungkook was finally walking in front of him. And he was right. The other had a whip in his hand. It was long and black, pretty thick and covered in blood at the end.

So-Bin sobbed again and looked at the ceiling, not being able to look at the other.

Said man stopped in front of him and smirked in his face.

In his fucking face.

"Aww~ You are not having fun... That's too bad."

The satisfaction on Jungkook's face made So-Bin sob even louder. The raven walked closer and bent down until his face was almost at the same level with the other's chest. If he could, So-Bin would crawl back but that stupid chain was restraining him completely.

"But you know what?"

Jungkook's voice was barely a whisper but in the quiet of that barn everything was so, so loud. And his eyes... his eyes were following the blood that was rolling on his neck, then it rolled on his cheek just to finally get to his forehead.

Ah, red is indeed such a pretty color.

As no answer came from the tied up man, the raven reached out and grabbed his hair.

"I'm fucking talking to you, aren't I?"

His voice was so much deeper than before and the anger that was radiating from it only made it worse.

It took So-Bin a few seconds to gather enough courage to look at the man in front of him. But once they made eye contact, he wished he could look away.

No.

He wished he never looked in the first place.

A chill ran down his spine and he felt his blood running cold in his veins. It was almost as if Jungkook's eyes were stabbing him from the inside a million times.

So-Bin nodded slowly and he answered the previous question.

"W-what is it?"

The Devil laughed, happy with the effect he had on him. It just showed him what power means, over and over again.

"I'm not done with you."

And So-Bin felt like he lost it again.

"No, no, no! NO! You already did enough, didn't you? Aren't you satisfied yet?!"

But instead of getting an answer, the raven just got up and started again to whip him just like before. The difference was that this time from the front.

And while the poor man was being tortured over and over again, on the outside there were two demons enjoying the screams and laughing while imagining the bloody mess their leader was making. And they knew that they would be able to admire it at the end, maybe even join at some point.

I hope you liked it!

Take care and keep safe~ Love y'all<3
