incubus ↬ BTSxReader

three.

"girl, you have to get out sometime. i hate seeing you sulk around depressingly like this."

"irene, i feel perfectly fine, thank you. naked men dancing around--"

"half-naked. besides, that's not--"

"yes it is. goodbye, irene."

I heard my best friend sigh before reluctantly saying farewell. I moved to hang up, chewing on my bottom lip for two seconds before pressing the red button. It had now been three days, and I've moved on from being completely devastated. Now, I'm just sitting on the couch, eating instant ramen and watching everything (and nothing !) on Hulu. I switch to ice cream when I'm watching anime and K-dramas though. I don't know why though. I only get up to use the bathroom and to grab a bag of chips from my endless supply. Hey, at least I've resumed my personal hygiene ! A hot shower after sitting on the couch all day is so.. refreshing. I've successfully cleaned off the dried-off tears from my cheeks (only to be replaced by new ones within 20 minutes).

Basically, I'm no longer shattered. I'm just broken.

Breathing in air without Seokjin in it was refreshing for the CEO. Spinning in a circle, he chuckled before sending for Yoongi. He smiled sadly to himself before hearing three sharp and precise knocks. "Enter."

Min Yoongi came in with a thin line instead of the bright, gummy smile he used to have. His black hair complimented his fair skin, yet his eyes were slightly cold and had permanent bags under them. His chapped, pale lips released from the hard line to address the CEO. "You needed me?"

The CEO inhaled slowly, contemplating what he was going to say next. Yoongi was not the same person he was before his last assignment. He had made the fatal mistake of developing feelings, and no matter how slight, they were a big deal, especially for an incubus. He would get flustered whenever he was around her, and they had built a very close friendship, which led to a very special relationship. He was overflowing with happiness during his time on Earth. But once his mission was complete, the next morning he woke up at HQ, with no way back. Imagine how the human girl felt. With such fragile feelings and a fragile heart, Yoongi disappearing out of nowhere after the biggest night of her life led her straight to hardcore depression and mania. She kept rambling on and on about the "demon that stole her heart", and her parents had no choice but to send her to a mental institution. They had had enough of watching her suffer, barely eating and sleeping, screaming in the middle of the night for a "Min Yoongi". When they had looked for him, all that came up was a deceased 25 year old that matched her description. She committed suicide within 2 months of living at the institution. 

And of course, Yoongi heard and saw all of this from HQ, which led him to depression and anxiety. He had passed on every assignment since, even though he wasn't supposed to. But the CEO and the man in charge had let it go, because you could hear his wails throughout HQ once she died. Imagine the wails of a broken-hearted human, and then magnify it by as much as you can imagine. That is what the wails of a broken-hearted incubus sounds like. 

The CEO finally spoke once he had finished remembering everything that this poor man had gone through. "i.. i wanted to strike a deal with you." Yoongi immediately tensed up, ready to deny anything proposed to him. The CEO noticed this and spoke quickly, not wanting to miss this opportunity. "if you take this assignment, it'll be the last one. and if, only if, you complete it, will i find a way to pull some strings and get you what you want most."

The other's mouth opened slightly in surprise, eyebrows lifting slightly. Yoongi closed his mouth and swallowed, eyeing the folder on the CEO's desk. 

Y/N.

Without a word, Yoongi walked forward and grabbed the folder, tucking it under his arm. As he grabbed the doorknob, he voiced a quiet "thank you" before slipping out.

The CEO let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
