📕 Book V: Fifth Rite - SeokSoo
"Not all devils destroy. Some of them ache."
Joshua, the Fifth Devil, wears elegance like armor-soft voice, sharp gaze, sins dressed in silk. He was once a seraph of sound, a guardian of harmony, until the Fifth Rite shattered him, cursed him to crave what he once protected: music, beauty... and love. Now, he haunts the industry as a producer whose touch turns songs into obsessions-and hearts into ruins.
DK is the only voice he can't control.
A rising star with laughter like sunlight and a voice that pulls threads of forgotten grace, DK doesn't know what he is-or what he's waking in Joshua. All he knows is that something in this stranger's gaze feels like a memory he never had... and a future he doesn't trust.
When DK unknowingly sings a forbidden melody-the Requiem Verse, a fragment of the old gods-he marks himself as both weapon and target in the eternal war between devils and divine.
To protect him, Joshua offers what no devil should ever give again:
A Rite of Binding. A shared soul. A final chance.
But with every harmony they create, with every lyric breathed in sync, the line between curse and craving begins to blur.
If Joshua loves again, he breaks the rite.
If DK remembers what he truly is, he breaks the world.
And if they fall for each other?
They break everything.
