The Whisper of a Demon

Chapter 3

Baekhyun POV

I knew after exactly one second that I was fucked! The moment our eyes first made contact, I knew that nothing would be the same anymore! The feeling that I was rising up inside was scary and I had trouble keeping myself under control! I approached him without really thinking about it. Minseok ... Tao was right ..... He's definitely not just human! I had hope that Tao was wrong, but my hope that I held onto so strongly broke at that moment! Before I knew it I had Minseok pressed against the wall and my nose pressed into his throat! I knew that I was not acting under my control but that the demon in me took over my senses! Could I do it to him? Rather not. It doesn't happen every day that your significant other shows up in front of you. In fact, it happens so rarely that I couldn't help but let him take over. Minseok's smell drove me crazy. He smelled of hazelnut and chocolate. I took a deep breath and noticed the shiver that ran over him. He feels it too! Judging by his reaction he didn't know what happened to him and that kept me from biting him here and now! I tried to get clear thoughts again, which was clearly difficult for me. 'I have to get out of here' my thoughts were mixed up and confused. 'I have to bite it, it has to be mine ... No, it's already mine!' But no matter how often the demon tried to convince me my other side needed time! I had to suppress a growl when I let go of Minseok. His eyes widened as if he were standing in front of a monster, so he looked at me and it hurt. I know he's probably confused and doesn't know that we were both fucked up now, but it still hurt me. My 'mate' shouldn't look at me like that, never with such fear ...

"Kim Minseok ... it looks like we both have a problem." with these words I left him standing in the hallway. Only when I left the building could I take a deep breath! I leaned against the wall of the house and tried to regain control of myself completely! The demon in me was pissed off! Of course he was but I can't let my demon mark him now! Minseok didn't seem to know anything about demons or he would have reacted differently. I rubbed my face in frustration. "I'm so fucked!" I let out frustrated.

After this incident, I did everything in my power to avoid Minseok. I changed my shifts to early morning hours hoping not to run into him. After the third day I found a routine in which I really couldn't see him and couldn't smell him anymore. It would have been so easy if that had been enough but on the night of the 4th day the pain started! I sagged and breathed heavily. My demon longing for him let me feel it with full force. I was lying on the floor of my apartment and couldn't hold back tears. "Give me a little more time" I pleaded, but my demon wasn't ready to give me time. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on something else, but the pain persisted. I took my phone out of my pocket and I called the hospital. In that state, I would not be able to work. I signed out and spent the rest of the next day on the floor of my apartment. The pain slowly began to develop into hunger and I felt my teeth and senses sharpen. I tried with all my might to resist the urge to look for him, but in the end I knew it was pointless. I felt weak and helpless. I had to go to him! He's only half a demon, but he must also be in pain. "Go now!" my demon was yelling at me and I couldn't help but give in. My eyes, which were now those of my demon, threw a light light into the darkness and everything that would come now felt as if my pure instinct was leading me. Before I even knew where I was, I was standing in an unfamiliar apartment. He is here, I can feel it ...

It was dark and Minseok was most likely not able to perceive me, but I could feel him with every fiber in me. I know what I'm about to do is wrong. Demons should never bind each other without both sides agreeing. Superstition of hunger and my demon in me drove me on until I had him right under me. My demon longingly called Minseok's name, promising  healing from the pain. Now that he was so close to me again, I couldn't ignore him anymore. He was so close I could smell him again, and his body against mine seemed to ease my pain.
