...Flower of Evil...

[Present time]

Queen Iseul was somehow who knew nothing about sympathy. She went down in history as the narcissistic, merciless and cruel demon Queen. She was a demon in human form. A human who killed six immortal Princes and a god. She had the power to kill gods. She shook the heaven and earth,and brought a hell.

She starved her people and killed them unreasonably. Her laughter was a nightmare. Even Gods hesitated to get involved with her. This demon woman wasn't only insane. She had a crazy romantic side. She would bring most handsome men in the kingdom and would toy with them.

Sometimes Iseul wondered why she did such things. She went crazy to the point she did the most disgusting things. She wouldn't blame the heavens if she was cursed to her damnation. Grim reapers had been chasing her down day and night. If she was to get caught,her soul would be scattered to dust by them. She wasn't scared but something in her said to run away. Maybe she had something to do in the human realm which was forgotten with the time? She felt this need to wait. But for whom is she waiting?

"Dan"

Iseul opened her eyes slowly and saw a pair of worried eyes.

"Dan,are you awake?"

Iseul nodded and looked at Mr.Cheon who was sitting beside her on the bed. She tried to sit but Mr.Cheon helped her to lean on the headboard.

"What happened?",she was confused. Last time she remembered, she was caught by a grim reaper. She was about to be pulled out of the human body. How did she come back home?

Mr.Cheon sighed. "You fainted. Luckily your brother Jimin was around the area. He said you were with your teacher. So,he brought you back home"

Iseul couldn't understand. The grim reaper? Who saved her? Did Beomgyu come? Or was it someone else? Zhang Linghe? No. He is a human for sure. Brother Jimin?

"Are you feeling okay now?", Mr.Cheon asked.

She nodded and rubbed her temple. "Just a headache"

Suddenly her ear was pinched hard by Mr.Cheon. "You brat! Who told you to go clubbing and drink! No wonder you passed out! Who gave you permission to go to such a place,huh?"

Iseul whined. "Ouch! It hurts! Okay okay I'm sorry!"

Mr.Cheon retracted and glared at her. "This girl! If you were not sick,I would have given a good smack!"

Iseul stroked her ear and pouted. "I'm sorry"

Mr.Cheon sighed. "You are an idiot. Go and wash up. It's already morning"

"Alright", she mumbled.

After Mr.Cheon left, Iseul sighed. She tried to remember what happened. She remembered the familiar voice before going unconscious but she couldn't really say whose voice it was. Was it brother Jimin's?

Then another memory hit her hard like a thunder. Her eyes went wide and her cheeks took the colour of roses.

I kissed him!! Damn it! I kissed my maths teacher!!!!!

Iseul wanted to scream but she couldn't.

....

Iseul wanted to confront Jimin and ask what happened yesterday but apparently he wasn't at home.

Since it was a school day,she had to go to school. Today,it was Jin's turn to take her to school. After getting into his car,she buckled up.

Suddenly,a smart phone given to her hands. She looked at Jin with a confused look.

Jin just adjusted his front mirror and and started the engine. "I saw that you are not using a phone. Keep it close to yourself"

Iseul's eyes twinkled and looked at the new phone with an open mouth. Finally, she got a phone! Even though she didn't know how to use it,she loved it. She smiled widely but immediately bit down her lips to keep down her excitement.

Jin looked at her with a raised eyebrow but didn't comment on her ridiculous excited face. Instead,he asked something else. "What were you doing last night with your teacher?"

Iseul almost choked. "W -What! How did you know he was there!"

Jin,"Jimin told me that you were with your teacher when he found you. What kind of a teacher meet their student at a place like that?", He scoffed and drove his car outside the gates.

Iseul could sense a hint of mockery in his tone. It seems like Jin didn't have a good temper today.

"It's not his fault. I went their by my own and he tried to take me out of that place", Iseul said.

Jin hummed and gave a side glance at her. "Don't go to such places. That's not a good place"

Iseul,"It was just a club"

Jin,"What do you even know? It's an illegal club. Sooner or later,police might barge in there"

Iseul widened her eyes. "What!! For real?", she looked at him. She thought about her teacher. Then what was he doing there?? Did he know it too? Probably! She remembered him asking 'do you even know what is this place'. Then,what was he doing there?

Jin nodded and took a turn and entered the busy main streets. He fastened his car. "Yes,if you really want to go to a club,go to one of the clubs we own. It's more safer than those cheap dirty clubs"

Iseul kept looking at him with an opened mouth. "I can't believe this. You are encouraging an underrated student to go to a club? Wow, you are the best brother,huh?",her tone was full of mockery.

Jin gave a glare to her. "Glad you know I'm your brother"

Iseul went to an abrupt silent. She scoffed and turned around to look outside through the window. "Brother my ass", she mumbled.

Jin,"I can hear you"

Iseul,"Glad you have ears"

After their awkward talk,they fell into a pin drop silence. Soon after,Jin stopped few blocks away from her school. "You'll have to walk from here. I got few important stuff to do. Will you be okay?"

Iseul nodded and took her back pack from the back seat. "This is fine. Then,I'll take my leave"

Jin didn't look at her but gave a small nod. Iseul waited a minute, hoping he'd say something but no. She looked at his ice cold frosty face. He used to have a long hair with some hair covering his forehead so it was rare to see his forehead. But now,his hair was jelled backwards. No more long hair. To Iseul,this look was scary than anything else.

Jin looked at her. "What are you waiting for? Get out"

Iseul sent a quick glare and got out. Jin drove away,leaving her there.

Iseul sighed and looked around. Infront of her was a coffee shop. "Should I skip classes today?", she really didn't want to face her teacher.

"Such a bad girl"

Iseul turned around to see Beomgyu. She was surprised to see him in a suit just like the time they first met. "Aren't you going to school?"

Beomgyu shook his head. "Duty called. I need to escort a soul"

Iseul,"Oh,who is going to die?"

Beomgyu, "It's confidential until it happens. Go to school. I won't be accompanying you today"

Iseul scoffed. "You bastard! Aren't you gonna ask what happened yesterday?!"

Beomgyu took out a black cap from inside his coat and dusted it off. "Hey,it wasn't my intention to leave you behind. Stop sulking, your highness. My senior saw me,so I had no choice but to run"

Iseul sighed. "No,that's not what I'm talking about. I can't say it in a hurry. Let's go. I'll come with you today"

Beomgyu widened his eyes. "Hey! It's my duty time! You can't come with me!"

Iseul waved her hand,"I won't interfere. I'll just stand behind"

Beomgyu looked around in frustration. "Are you serious? How important is your matter?"

Iseul wanted to punch the shit out of Beomgyu. "This is all because of you, bastard! You said you'd take the responsibility and what did you do?! You ran away! And now you are asking how important my matter is?! Are you fucking serious?!"

Beomgyu was embarrassed when people started giving weird stares to him. He looked around and laughed nervously. "Can you keep it low? People might think I impregnated you and left you behind!"

Iseul,"Fine,then go! But before that,give me back my life,you bastard!", she held into his collars and shook him hard,pulling a drama infront of people."You and your empty Promises! Go and rot in hell!"

Beomgyu was red from embarrassment.

"Hey,you,young man! How could you treat her like that?!", one old man shouted.

Beomgyu bowed nervously and grabbed Iseul's wrist before dashing away.

"Fine fine! I'm sorry! I'll take you with me! Gosh,you are really a pain in the ass", he dragged her to a dark alley and then teleported themselves to the han River bridge.

Iseul crossed her arms,"Why are we here?"

Beomgyu sighed and looked at the river. "We have to wait until that person come. She will commit suicide here"

Iseul,"So,are we gonna watch it?"

Beomgyu nodded. "This is what we do. We have to see them die. But are you okay with it?", He looked at her and asked.

She Scoffed. "I have seen many more horrible deaths. Torturous, painful, painless, horrible and so on. And I was the one who did those things. What can't I watch now?"

Beomgyu sighed. "I bet it wasn't easy for you too"

"You are wrong. I felt nothing. I don't think there will be any difference in the future too"

Beomgyu knew that she won't admit her pain no matter what. So,he decided to change the topic. "So,what were you saying earlier? What happened yesterday?"

Iseul leaned her back against the bridge. "There was another grim reaper. He found me and nearly took away my soul"

And now,It's Beomgyu's turn to turn paler than ashes. His frosty white face turned to a sick colour. "What! No way! It's impossible! If you met one,then h-how come you are still -"

"That's the case. I don't remember anything but I heard brother Jimin's voice before going unconscious. Also,Mr.Cheon said that brother Jimin was the one who found me unconscious"

Beomgyu had a complicated expression. His face colour changed from green to pale and pale to green. He shook his head. "I don't think your brothers are mortals"

Iseul had blank face. "Then what are they?"

"I don't know. They had always been suspicious in my eyes. From their names to their appearance, everything is suspicious. But what bothers me is they don't even do anything to conceal the suspicious things about themselves"

Iseul nodded. "Right"

"What creature possibly can stop a grim reaper?"

Iseul scoffed. "Don't think so highly of your kind. Look,even a ghost like me had been hiding from grim reapers for 800 years"

Beomgyu gave a hurt expression. "I'm offended"

"Good"

Beomgyu wanted to continue the conversation but stopped seeing the person he had been waiting for,had arrived. His expression immediately turned into a professional blank face.

Iseul also looked back and saw a woman standing at the bridge. She was a very slim girl,probably in her twenties. Her hair was messy and had red eyes. But something was amiss about her.

At the same time, Beomgyu pulled a palm top and looked at the screen. "Park Jihyun. Age 23. Cause of the death,suicide",..."The second death,name;unknown, age 3 weeks..."

Iseul widened her eyes. No wonder she felt something was off. This girl was pregnant!

"A child?", she mumbled.

Beomgyu sighed. "...yes"

Iseul stared at the girl who was standing in a bit far distance. Iseul's forehead popped out a vein. Her heart rate was gradually increasing.

"...That child,won't it be entangled with her soul when she is sent to the hell?"

Iseul had learnt about souls a very long time ago and had the knowledge about how the hell works. Atleast,she learnt the amount she wanted.

Beomgyu nodded. "The soul of the baby doesn't have a consciousness for now. So,it cannot be considered as a separate soul. It will be a part of the soul of the mother..... And will suffer in hell"

Iseul's face turned green and blue. She hated that woman. She might have enough reasons to end her life but still she hated her. She had no sympathy for that woman who is going to die with her child.

The woman gripped onto the bridge and looked at the water emotionlessly. She climbed the bridge with her shaky legs. After closing her eyes,she jumped.

But,

The woman didn't fall. Someone had caught her wrist.

Iseul gripped into her wrist tightly and gritted her teeth.

Beomgyu stood there with wide eyes. It wasn't supposed to be like this! This is wrong!

"YOUR HIGHNESS!WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!", He lost his mind and yelled before running to them.

The pregnant woman was trembling and crying. She struggled hard to get rid of Iseul's hand but no point.

Beomgyu, "Let go"

Iseul tried her best to pull her up but the woman was struggling.

Beomgyu, "I SAID LET GO!"

Iseul didn't listen to him. All the blood had run to her face. "You can't die! Let this child be born! Let him live!", she screamed.

Beomgyu, "YOUR HIGHNESS",Beomgyu was frustrated.

Just then,with a swoosh sound,someone appeared behind Beomgyu. He looked back to see his senior,Choi Yeonjun who had been chasing him since yesterday night.

Yeonjun was about to grab Beomgyu but paused seeing the scene. His eyes darkened. The handsome and tall grim reaper stood next to Beomgyu with his hands inside his pant pockets. "Use the curse shackle"

Beomgyu,"Huh? B -But-"

Yeonjun glared at him. "You started all this rubbish. Now deal with it. Quick! Use it!"

Beomgyu was hesitant but he had no choice. Iseul had almost pulled up the woman. He had no choice now. "I'm sorry,your highness", he raised his palm.

Iseul's breath hitched. A black curse shackle appeared around her neck. Black smoke was swirling around her neck. Still,she held into that woman. Her face was completely red now. "The child..."

Beomgyu closed his eyes and increased the power.

Iseul's eyes turned bloody red. Her strength was losing and she could no longer hold into that woman. She looked at closed eyed Beomgyu. "..G -Gyu",..."Please"

She immediately shut her mouth feeling a metallic taste in her throat. She is going to throw up blood.

She no longer could hold that hand and let go. The woman fell into the river with a scream.

Iseul fell on her knees,still suffering from the unbearable pain. She finally threw up blood and held into her neck.

Beomgyu slowly let go but when he opened his eyes,a new figure was infront of him. He widened his eyes.

It was the crown Prince Seokjin! His black leather shiny coat was swaying with the wind while his frosty eyes were glaring at him.

Behind him was the almost unconscious Iseul.
