Devil's Trap [ Mitzu ]

Chapter 8: Black Dress

Mina's POV

I watched the black car go away until it was completely out of my sight. I opened the small gate of our apartment and go straight inside.

It was already late in the afternoon and I couldn't go back to school anymore. I can't either come back. It's been a long day for me. I slammed myself on the sofa in the living room.

I still can't believe what I did. Until now, my legs still feel weak. I agreed. I agreed in Chou Tzuyu's want.

I hurried to my room and got dressed. I have to go to Chaeyoung. I don't know if I did the right thing. Things went too fast and I'm worried that I was just being carried away.

-----

I arrived at the Hospital, around four in the afternoon. I silently entered the room. As always it was very quiet here. No one is around. Only the sound of the heartbeat monitor can be heard throughout the room. Though, her heartbeat is normal.

I sat down in the chair next to her bed. Her eyes were open and maybe she could hear me. I took a deep breath. Chaeyoung, I don't know if the decision I made was right. I had faced the deal I tried hard to escape so I can save you.

I lean my head against the soft bed. Starting tomorrow, I'll be under the blood contract. I still couldn't believe it had happened to me. I was just another university student until the night I sold myself to a devil. After that, everything went downhill.

According to the contract, I have to be Tzuyu's source of blood for the next three months. The sentence itself doesn't sound proper to my ear. But that was the deal.

Just three months.

She said I don't have to worry. She is easy to sate with one thing. Maybe in less than three months, she will already release me from the contact. I really hope so. But it also means Chaeyoung is next. I groaned just by thinking about it. Why are we got involved with people like her?

-----

The next morning when I entered the Lecture hall, I noticed the eyes staring at me. As I sat down in the chair, I couldn't help but hear my name whisper from their mouths.

Yeah, I was with Chou Tzuyu yesterday. Big deal. You don't even know half of the story so shut up! But instead of responding, I just keep quiet. They are the least of my concerns right now. I have a lot of bigger concerns than their pathetic gossips.

At lunchtime, I walked out of the Lecture Hall and was almost squeal when a hands clasped in my arms. "Mina, you have a lot of explaining to do."

I looked at Jihyo who was holding my arm. Sana and Dahyun are following and seemed like a secret agents looking around before walking next to us and pulling me out of the building.

Geez, these people.

We arrived at the quadrangle where we were sitting inside the shed. I watched my companions that now are looking at me as if disbelieve.

"Spill, Mina!" Exclaimed Sana.

"Spill what?" I asked.

"What we don't know."

I know their are referring to the chaos at the gym yesterday. But I can't help my silent retort. There are lots of things you don't know, guys. And it's better if it will stay that way.

"You didn't say you knew Ms. Sexy Devil." Muttered Sana. Yeah, she's a devil. I could agree more with that. "I mean, Mina, you're so greedy." Sana whined. "I called dibs on her the other day."
