The 7th Demon

☾oo8

A/N: I will be updating this story here again! Due to a lot of requests. Enjoy!

Eun Joo doesn't want to attend the rest of the class anymore. She feels extremely tired. In fact, she doesn't want to walk. *Ahh, I'm tired. I don't want to walk. Why do my legs feel so heavy? I wish someone could just carry me home.*

With one swift movement, she's at Baekhyun's strong arms already. She gaped at him and started punching his chest. He didn't even flinch, it's like he's not hurt at all. "Put me down! What the heck are you doing?"

He looked down at her and Eun Joo instantly looked away from his gaze. "You said you wanted someone to carry you home."

"How did you even know that?"

Baekhyun started walking. Some of the people were looking at them strangely. It's really odd to see students like that. "I read your mind." He simply answered. Since then, he can read her mind and he's only doing it to her.

"Baekhyun, put me down." her voice sounded so stern and serious.

He didn't want to put her down but Eun Joo already made him do that. So, he let her reach the ground with her toes and she stood up. She just continued on walking while Baekhyun is following her behind.

*Why can't I just die today? Why do I still have to wait for that right time?* her mind is so pre-occupied by another set of questions she can't even answer. Baekhyun is still following her and she's not dumb to realize that.

The red light went on signalling no people should cross the road, but Eun Joo is too busy thinking to notice it. She just continued on walking until she reached the center of the road and heard a loud honk from a fast car that woke her. The headlights flashed her face but she just stared at it. *That's it.*

Instead of the car hitting her, a left arm hugged her slim waist and right arm on her head. Baekhyun pulled her into his arms and faced his back to the car that is going to hit her. The car hit the breaks on time and just bumped into his legs.

Eun Joo's eyes were wide. She could feel his hug in her body, the hug that she recognized. She exhaled and Baekhyun pulled her back. "I told you, you can't die yet." She saw the driver stepped out of the car and checked on them.

"Are you two alright?! Should I send you to the hospital? Aish, young adults these days!" the guy removed the cap off his head but Baekhyun faced the driver and gave him an empty stare. The driver swallowed and blinked at him, "W-What?"

Baekhyun is still holding her into her waist tightly. "You're lucky you didn't hit me or else you're dead."

The driver blinked. "What is that non-sense you're talking about? G-Get out of the way now!" he slipped in back inside his car and honked. Baekhyun held her hand and pulled her out of the way with him.

Eun Joo bit her bottom lip and twisted her hand away from him. "You should've let me killed. I'm going to die anyways."

Baekhyun looked at his hand where he held you and sighed. "I should protect you from getting killed before the right time or else you wouldn't be fitted to be the wrath. It's your turning point." He explained but it's just making her feel more annoyed and angry.

She started walking again when Baekhyun rubbed his fingers together. It's going to be the first he held her hand like that and it feels nice on him. That small hand of hers fitted perfectly to his. "I want to hold it again." He trailed behind her and inserted his hands in his pockets.

Eun Joo went to an empty playground and sat on the slightly wet grass and dug her face into her arms. Baekhyun watched her and sat down at the space beside her. He peered to see her face but he can't. "You're having a hard time, I know. I'm always here with you. So, you don't have to worry." His voice and words were very calming but it's not enough.

"It means my soul was sold long time ago, right?" she mumbled, without raising her head up. Baekhyun looked at the shining full moon at the sky and hummed, answering yes to her. "I'm accepting it... my destiny. I can't ever avoid it."

He placed his arms above his propped knees. "There's a guardian sent here on earth to kill you before the right time you'll be a demon who will represent wrath. It may be a beast, animal or human. I have to protect you from it."

Eun Joo remembered what Baekhyun showed her when he held her cheek. The image of her parents, them risking their lives and she should be mad for giving her soul just to be wrath but she's not. There must be a reason for it.

She raised her head up and faced Baekhyun beside her. She was stunned. *How can be a demon be this perfect looking?* the moonlight is flashing his face. She can trace his side profile with her finger. He noticed the stare and looked down at her.

The same as Eun Joo, Baekhyun felt that something is melting inside him. He deeply stared at her innocent and honey like eyes. *How can be a human this angelic looking be a demon like me?*

"Then," those cherry pink lips moved and he waited for her to talk. "Be by my side forever, Byun Baekhyun."

It's like something struck him. Something woke him up. Baekhyun cupped her face with his left hand. "Yes." He truthfully answered and slightly closed his eyes. Eun Joo's eyes rounded when slowly, Baekhyun leaned in and kissed the tattoo behind her ear.

She felt those pair of lips on her neck and she swallowed hard because of the feeling. On Baekhyun's left hand, a sun like tattoo appeared on the back of his palm. Baekhyun pulled back and the tattoo was gone again. Eun Joo blinked and stood up from where she's sitting. "I want to go home."
