"You're the reason why
I warned myself
That I shouldn't play with fire
But I can tell
That I'd do it one more time"

♠♥♣♦


I woke up to a tingling sensation on my face. I felt someone placing butterfly kisses all over my face. I opened my eyes, waiting to see the face of a particular someone but I felt a bit empty when it wasn't him. Minjae was hovering above me and smiled when I opened my eyes, "You are finally awake. You used to love it when I woke you up like this."

I have only slight memories about what happened after Taemin left. I was furious at myself right now, but the head ache made it impossible for me to do anything.
I groaned as I held my head. Minjae got up and went out of the room. I tried to sit up. My clothes from yesterday were neatly folded up in a corner and I realised that I was wearing one of his  t-shirts.
Minjae came back with a glass of water and a few tablets in his hand. "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to you." He chuckled as he handed me the things to soothe my headache. I quietly took it while nodding my head towards him as I tried to avoid speaking to him. I took the medicine and handed him the glass back.

He saw that I was trying to avoid a conversation and pouted, "I said I'm sorry babe. Don't give me the silent treatment just after we met after a long time." I glanced at him and sighed.
"I can't believe that you are still hung up on me."  I mumbled.

He sat by the bed, laying his head on my lap. "Come on. I know that you love me too."

"Used to love." I spoke up emphasising every single word.
"Well I can change that. Now that I have all of you for me." He got up and kissed me. I felt empty as I didn't respond to his kiss.
He pulled back and smiled, sadness still showing in his voice, "Soon, babe. Very soon."

He got up and took a bag from the corner and kept it in front of me. "I bought some clothes for you. It's good that I know about your size and stuff." He lightly chuckled.
"Brother wants to meet you in an hour. I hope you can get ready by then. Or do you want me to help you?" 

"No, I'm fine. I'll get ready." I spoke up taking the bag, as I sighed.

Well, now that I  had entered the dragon, I needed to play it carefully if I wanted to stay alive. Unlike Minjae, Jaewook wouldn't think twice before pointing his gun at me and pulling the trigger, targeting the right spot to end my existence once and for all.

I don't have nine lives like a cat but I had survived once and I can hopefully do it again. Because I believe that to kill me, the devil himself needed to step on Earth.

I was walking down the hallway of the building in which once I was brought to before and was forced to live in. Yet it had happened again. Minjae was waiting for me by his Lambo wearing a tuxedo. He pulled me into a hug and kissed my lips. I still didn't respond to it. "You are still as stubborn as before, aren't you?" He spoke up while fixing the strap of my sundress. I looked at my feet not wanting to see his face. He opened the car door for me as I got in.

His kisses made me feel nothing. His hugs were meaning less. This was the time when I was yearning for Chanyeol's touch. How he made everything feel meaning full. I even missed his teasing even though it had been just a day without him, but it felt like an eternity. Even though we weren't officially together and never admitted our feelings to each other, I did feel a certain liking towards him. But now was not the time to think about it.

We reached Jaewook's business firm. I stepped out of the car and started walking towards the entrance. Minjae not caring about where he parked his car, got out and ran towards me, "For once let me be a gentleman for you."
