                    "Why didn't you come the past two days, princess?" my brother-in-law, Ji-Yeong, asked curiously as soon as I stepped into his father's room

"I was busy with something" I replied, walking toward the bed where Mr. Jeon lay unconscious

"Did something happen while I wasn't here?" I asked, glancing at Ji-Yeong again "Yeah! He finally started begging for death" Ji-Yeong said with a sly smile

"Is that so? Should we kill him? It's been months now, and honestly, I don't find this fun anymore" I said, tilting my head slightly "You're right! Though you think that's enough punishment for him?" he asked, meeting my gaze

I looked at Mr. Jeon and considered it "I guess... I mean, we've performed all the brutal punishments we could think of. Honestly I want to punish him more, but I'm getting bored now... Plus, I have other things to do!" Ji-Yeong nodded

"What about Mr. Joe?" Ji-Yeong asked after a brief pause

"Mr. Joe? The one who helped him?... Well, I connected both of their souls, so when I torture your father, he experiences everything, without actually knowing why's that happening... he's going crazy and constantly seeking for help, but none is able to help him! He'll die the same time I kill your father" I explained, a wicked smile tugging at my lips

"Woah! Being a demon sounds fun now!" Ji-Yeong exclaimed, his voice brimming with amusement "It was always fun, you were just too stupid and scared type" I teased "Hey, that's in the past!" he retorted, whining slightly. I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction while shaking my head in disbelief

"Anyways, let's finish everything tonight" I said, my tone turning serious again "Wake him up. Let him feel his death while being conscious" I smirked "Sure, Princess!" he agreed with a mischievous grin, bowing mockingly

Ji-Yeong moved toward the bed, his fingers snapping with an audible crack, a rush of dark energy filling the room. Mr. Jeon stirred, his once-proud face now gaunt and drenched in misery. His eyes fluttered open, dull and lifeless, until they caught sight of me. Fear ignited instantly

"You... again" he croaked, his voice hoarse from the days of torment "What do you want now?"

I crouched down next to the bed, resting my chin on my hand as I stared at him "What do I want? Hmm... Isn't it obvious? Your death, Mr. Jeon... But not just yet! I want to make sure you feel it" "You've done enough already" he rasped, his words trembling with bitterness "Kill me or let me go. Enough of these games!"

Ji-Yeong scoffed, crossing his arms "Games? Seriously Dad? After what you've done, you think this is just a game? You're lucky she's letting you breathe at all!"

I leaned in closer, my voice dropping to a dangerous whisper "Do you remember what you did, Mr. Jeon? Or has your guilt been conveniently buried under your cowardice?" His lips trembled, but he said nothing, his defiance waning under my gaze

"Of course, you remember!" I continued "You remember how you betrayed your family, how you condemned innocents for your gain, how you... raped me, and how you smiled through it all, like nothing happened!"

"You're... monsters" he spat weakly, his glare faltering "Monsters?" I laughed, the sound echoing ominously in the room "You yet have no idea, Mr. Jeon. But don't worry, you'll learn tonight!"

"Should I get the blade?" Ji-Yeong asked casually, glancing at me "Not yet!" I replied, standing up "Let's give him a chance to repent first. Who knows? Maybe he has something interesting to say before he dies"

Mr. Jeon's chest heaved with labored breaths, his hands trembling as he gripped the sheets "You'll regret this... both of you. Hell isn't just for me, you'll burn there too!" I smirked, stepping closer to him "Oh, Mr. Jeon, you misunderstand. We're not going to hell... we ARE hell!"
