Boy Meets D.Evil

2.2

I guess trigger warning if you're still not used to people dying or fucking in this story oops spoilers

"I should have visited you sooner, I know you hate it when I'm late", Yeong sniffled and asked me to stay with her. I let her do what she has to do in peace and didn't interrupt her

"There are so many things I never got to say, there are so many questions I never got to ask. But we're never going to meet again, you're probably in a better place now, somewhere where I won't be able to go because I'm a demon destined to suffering for an eternity while you were a pure soul with too much burden on your shoulders. While my family kicked us out of the warmth of their homes, left my parents with nothing, you were a living proof that there's still good in this world. You didn't have much yet never hesitated to give. You had your own worries yet always listened to mine. I really, really tried to shower you with love and support, you deserved so much more. There aren't enough infinities and lifetimes to return it all to you. Now I finally realize where it all went wrong, so please, take my advice now Min-Ji. Rest. I mean it, everything will work out. Stop worrying so much, all of your hard work will eventually pay off. Start relying more on others, cry when you feel like it, don't delay things that make you happy because of obligations that can really wait. Also, stop frowning so much. Both Jungkook and I warned you all the time that you'd get wrinkles sooner than necessary", even when she stopped briefly, I didn't want to do anything until she stands up and tells me we can go. Her shoulders quivered and voice gave out that she's crying

"I'm sorry I stood between the two of you. I just knew from the beginning that it wouldn't end well, I only wanted to protect both of you from getting hurt. He really loved you... and still does. Not as much as me though but you already know that. It's so hard without you, I strayed away from the right path and let darkness devour me. Oh... I was about to say that there's barely any light left, but then I remembered... that you sent me someone to help me climb out of the abyss"

On our way back, Yeong got talkative and smiled more but I couldn't help but wonder if she's still hiding her true emotions like she used to. I decided to leave it for another day, this must've been tough for her. I never thought this is what she meant when she said we have to visit a friend, kneeling in a graveyard while it's raining. Is that what I would've done if I hadn't suppressed my memories of Yeong?

"What's on your mind?", her eyes tried to read my expression but I looked away and hid behind a scarf

"Mostly you"

"That explains why you look so agitated", I rolled my eyes at that but looked at her questioningly when she started laughing

"I missed this so much. You know, me being loud, cheerful, provoking and you being a grumpy grandpa"

"I'm not a grandpa"

"Yes you are"

"What are you then?"

"Probably the devil"

"Hm, no. You're too cute for that"

"Am not! I'll slap you"

"Oh no, please don't", that's when she started repeatedly slapping my shoulder as we walked. I let her since first of all, it doesn't hurt. Second, I love seeing her this energetic, the way I remember her being. 

When we're together, I don't feel like seeking adrenaline by breaking in or ghost hunting. Of course, I want to do everything with her. The difference is that now I also want to take care of both of us. I won't be able to protect her if I'm risking my safety all the time

"Yoongi!!", Yeong whined while tugging on my arm 

"Hm?"

"What's wroooong, talk to meeee"
