TWENTY-FIVE

I kept the note back into my pocket and immediately run back into the church, looking for Priest Hong Jae. He is no longer in the chapel and I approached the only door that will lead me to the Priest's office. I knocked on the wooden door and within seconds the door is opened. "I'm sorry to bother you again. By any chance, do you have anything that can protect me from them?" I panted heavily and the Priest open the door wider. "Come on in, Haneul." I entered his office that is not too neat nor too messy. "I'm going to give you sage for cleansing and a small rosary for you to have it close to your heart." He walks over to his desk and begin to pack the sage for me.

"Here you go. Sage and Rosary. Use them well. Burn it when you feel their presence around you." I nod and thank the priest before leaving the church once again. I get on my bike and ride back home. Both my parents are not at home when I arrived. I head straight up to my room and gently placed the items that the priest gave me on my work desk. I sat at my work desk and switch on my laptop. I went to the search engine and begin to search for Demons and Devil. Mostly the web search are movies and books about them. I continue to search and begin to grab my notebook, taking down notes about them. There were so many of them to the point I had to stop researching.

"What the hell am I doing?" I questioned myself. Kihyung has already lay everything out in his journals why do I even bother to do research on them again. I took out one of Kihyung's journal from my drawer and flipped them through. If Taehyung is really the devil and his friends are his worshiper or even demons themselves then this will be the end for them. I am not afraid to deal with any of these. I have God to protect me. Tonight, I shall end all of these. I am going to make sure the devil really show his true self. For now, I'm going to make myself a bowl of spicy ramen. I totally forgot about having meal just because of all these crazy shits that has been happening.

While waiting for the water to boil, I scroll through my phone and suddenly there is an incoming call from Jun Ho. "Haneul, do you want to come over to the warehouse?" I frown by his sudden invite. "No more girls to fuck?" I asked while placing the ramen noodles into the boiling pot. "I need to talk to you. It's kinda urgent." He said in a serious tone while I ripped the seasoning packet using my teeth. "Hmm you have to wait till I'm done with my meal." He replied with a simple ok and hang up the call. Strange but then again, it's Jun Ho. I couldn't careless about him ever since he treated me like shit after that night at The Royals. After dinner, I begin to get ready for the night.

I look through my wardrobe and find something that I rarely wear. The black dress that eomma got for me while she attended Paris fashion show last summer. I put it on and it totally fits me like a gloves. My back is totally exposed from neck all the way down to my waist. "This would lure him." I said while adjusting my dress by gazing at the mirror reflection. My eyes shifted to the rosary chain on my table and I wrapped it around my hand to accessorize it. I grabbed my leather jacket and put it on before heading downstairs. My final touch is the combat boots and gun just in case I need it for later on.

I look up at the night sky and begin to cross my heart, praying that God will protect me. I decided to drive my Mercedes instead since I'm wearing a short dress. I switch on the radio to accompany my driving so that I won't be distracted much. I look at the time and it is almost ten which means soon The Royals will be opening soon. I look at the rosary on my hand and wonder if Taehyung would notice it. Will he get burnt by it just like how it is in the movies? I shake my head and clear my thought before continue to drive to the club. As soon as I arrived, I parked my car in front of the club. I rarely drive this bad boy and when I do, everyone has their eyes on me when I stepped out of it. I adjusted my short dress and head over to the entrance.

"Get in line, Miss." the bouncer said and I chuckle. Of course he can't recognize me. "Am I suppose to call Taehyung to get me in?" I asked as I raised my brow. "Oh? Haneul is that you? You look different. Please come on in." He said. I raise my brows and smirked. He let me in along with some other VIP that is queued in their lane. I walk into the club and immediately look up at the lounge where they usually sat. I saw Jimin, Namjoon, Jungkook and Yoongi. No sign of Taehyung. I took off my leather jacket and walks confidently to the bar. "Wow Haneul? I almost could not recognize you." Felix said as I settle down. "What can I get for you tonight?" He asked and I look at the shelves that is filled with booze. "Make me a drink that screams sexy and seductive." I said and I can tell this man is taken aback by my behavior tonight.

"Devil's desire but with a twist. Try it." Felix served it to me and I sipped on it. "Strawberry vodka with cherry base." He said and I licked my lips. "Oh this is subtle. I love the taste." I said and drink up again. I took out a stick of cigarette and begin to light it up when suddenly I felt a hand brushing on my bare back and I could tell who it is by his touch. "Guess they're right. My whore is really behaving like one tonight." I feel like slapping him right now but I hold it back and continue the game. "I hope you really like how I dressed tonight." I said as I turned my seat fully towards him. Taehyung is dressed in all black suit. "Come join me and the rest." He offered and I shake my head.

"Nah I'll pass. I want to have fun tonight. Since you called me a whore, means I can dance with whoever I want right?" That pissed him off. The smile on his lips dropped. "Here, you can have my share." I place the cigarette that is stained with my lipstick on his lips and get off my seat. I make my way to the dance floor and begin to dance freely while he stood there watching. When the crowds begin to fill up the dance floor and the lights started to get dark, my eyes immediately look at where Taehyung was standing. He is no longer there. I get myself out of the dance floor all hot and sweaty before heading back to the bar. I took out my phone and saw six missed calls from Do Kyun and three missed calls from Jun Ho. Oh fuck, I was supposed to meet Jun Ho before coming here.

I head over to the back of the club to return the call when suddenly I saw Taehyung entering a room. I decided to follow him from behind silently. It is a long stretched of dark hallway and Taehyung is already right at the front before he head downstairs. Right at the staircase, there are seven coat hangers that hang six black robes and one of it is gone. On the walls were symbols being carved and drawn on it and I carefully light up my lighter to take a look at it clearly. My heart begins to beat so fast and I took a step down, trying not to make any noise. When I finally reached the ground floor, my body froze.
Goosebumps starts to crawl up my neck when I saw the pentagram symbol on the floor. My body begins to tremble when my eyes look at the shelves right in front of me.

The whole shelves is filled with jar of hearts. Like a real human hearts. I feel nausea and could not hold back that I had to vomit out right on the floor. I try my best to get back on my feet and leave the place when suddenly my way has been blocked by Taehyung himself. "Looking for me, whore?" He asked and I pants heavily while looking at him. "There is still drool on your lips." He wipe it off with his thumb before he licks it. "I know the real you, Taehyung. Who you really are." I try to act tough but my voice was trembling. He begin to step forward which makes me walk backwards slowly. "Hmm really? Now lets hear it shall we? Who am I exactly?" I end up being trapped by the wall and Taehyung. "Say it, love." He lift up my chin, making me look up at him. I lift up my hand that has the rosary chain and pressed the cross on his cheek. Wait.. what is going on? Why isn't he burning? This rosary isn't affecting him at all. Taehyung let out a chuckle before he hold my wrist and look at the rosary chain. He kissed the cross on the rosary and leaned down to whisper close to my lips.

"Your faith to Christ himself is long gone ever since we fucked, Haneul."
