chapter 31

...Flower of Evil...

Beomgyu looked at the rain outside through the window of his apartment. He hasn't had any contact with Iseul for more than two months now. He looked at the curse shackle on his right wrist. With that in his hand,he couldn't go near Iseul. If he was near her,that shackle will suck out his soul and will destroy it to never to return.

"Oy Beomgyu! Dinner is ready!"

Choi Yeonjun, his senior,has been checking him from time to time to make sure he never gets near Iseul.

Beomgyu sighed as he joined the dinner table.

"It was such a hectic day. I had to escort two criminals to the hell. I really hate these trips to hell. There is this perverted king who collects beauties who comes to the hell and eww,he is so creepy. The way he stares at me gives me goosebumps. I'm afraid I'll be added to his beauty collection sooner or later",Yeonjun kept rambling about his day.

"Kings of hell are in a different level. And that skeleton king, he is a coward. He uses his lackeys to fight with demons. He is so old. Why can't he just retire"

Beomgyu was not in the mood to listen to him. "Hyung"

Yeonjun looked at him. "Hm?"

Beomgyu, "I have to meet her"

Yeonjun put down his chopstick with a bang. "I think we already had a conversation about this"

"Don't you understand?! I started all of this! I need to be with her until the end! I can't just abandon her like this!"

Yeonjun rolled his eyes. "She has her brothers with her. You know who they are. Even if you wanted to help her,you can't. Not when she is surrounded by them! And look at your wrist! That's a damn curse shackle! They were not joking when they threatened you and me that day!"

Beomgyu sighed in frustration. "Can't we go behind their back and do something?"

Yeonjun was mad to the point that he laughed. "CHOI BEOMGYU!LET ME REMIND YOU AGAIN!THEY ARE THE SUPREME GHOST KINGS OF THE UNDERWORLD!WE ARE NO MATCH FOR THEM!IF THEY SAY SOMETHING, THAT'S THE LAW!"

Beomgyu, "I know okay! But as I said earlier, I can't abandoned her! She needs to know this!"

Yeonjun took a deep breath. After several minutes, he calmed himself down. "Beomgyu",he called him softly. "Not every reaper forgets their past"

Beomgyu, "Huh?"

Yeonjun, "Most of the reapers don't know their past because they chose to not remember. But there are some reapers who choose to keep their memories even though they are horrible and terrifying"

Beomgyu did know about it but it was very rare to see a reaper who remembers their past.

"I'm a grim reaper like that. I remember my past", Yeonjun revealed his hidden secret.

Beomgyu widened his eyes. All these years,he was fooled by him. But he couldn't understand why he is saying it now.

"I know you even before our deaths", Yeonjun said.

And now Beomgyu understood why Yeonjun is saying this. They had known each other even before death?

"I know what happened to us"

Beomgyu's eyes were shaking. "...what"

Yeonjun sighed. "Didn't you tell me that you started this research about Iseul because of a clue you found. Every night, you see nightmares related to her. So,when you were appointed as the grim reaper who should chase after her ghost, you took the chance"

Beomgyu, "But I didn't lie to her. Her past has unsolved problems. I just want to help her"

Yeonjun wanted to bang his face somewhere. "Listen,it's better if you don't know what happened to you. Your past was painful to the point you couldn't bare it and asked to erase your memories. It was your own decision"

"Then why did you keep your memories?"

Yeonjun, "Because I want to live with it. Though it's painful, I don't want to forget them"

Beomgyu was silent for a moment. As he was thinking, he realised something. "Are we both here because of her? Was she the reason?"

Yeonjun hesitantly nodded his head. "Her brothers know our past. That's why they don't want us near her anymore"

Beomgyu looked at his hands. He was getting depressed. He didn't want to believe that she was the cause of his misery. But,it wasn't impossible.

.......

"Bambi"

Iseul looked up to see Jungkook. She was sitting on the couch while watching some kpop songs.

Jungkook plopped himself next to her and watched the song. "It's Jessi right?"

Iseul nodded. "My favourite"

Jungkook, "You like her?"

"Yeah. She looks cool. She has a unique attitude and a voice"

Jungkook smiled. "Do you want her autograph?"

Iseul's eyes lit up and she almost jumped in excitement but calmed herself down. She didn't want to look like an idiot infront of him. "Uh,sure"

Jungkook hummed and continued to watch. "By the way,your teachers are complaining. You don't know how to read and write?"

Iseul knew that these brothers of hers are acting and they know that she knows. Still,to keep the peace within themselves, they all go with the flow.

Iseul,"nope"

"Want me to teach you?"

Iseul,"hell no"

"You are so arrogant", he scoffed.

Iseul rolled her eyes. "Yes,I am"

"Come on. You can't continue like this. You have to learn"

For the millionth time,she cursed Beomgyu for bringing her to life. Why does she have to study again? She didn't want to.

"I don't want to study okay? I'll just -I'll just be an idol"

Jungkook, "You can't dance"

Iseul,"How do you know!"

Jungkook, "Then go ahead and show me!"

Iseul,"I don't want to!"

Jungkook, "See! You can't!"

Iseul,"No I can! I just don't want to show you"

Jungkook rolled his sleeves and crossed him arms,sending her glares.

Iseul also didn't back down and glared at him. Suddenly her eyes caught his arms. There were so many tattoos and they were beautiful to her eyes. "I want something like this"

Jungkook immediately forgot the glaring contest and looked at his arm. "You are Underage. No tattoos at this age. If you want,you can have one on somewhere hidden. Like your collarbone "

Iseul,"On my boobs?"

Jungkook threw her couch pillow. "Shut the fuck up"

Iseul stood up and hit him with the same pillow before showing him her middle finger. Then she dashed away to her room.

Jungkook laughed and laid his head on the couch comfortably. Just then,Jimin plopped himself next to him. "It's hard to get along with her,right?"

"Mm"

Jimin,"Atleast,she is getting used to this life"

Jungkook nodded.

"Oh,did you find any clue about that person?", Jungkook asked.

Jimin shook his head. "He only came out one time and we couldn't catch it. Brother Hoseok said he vanished soon after he appeared"

"Was he running away from brother Hoseok?"

Jimin,"Probably"

"We gotta be careful", Jungkook mumbled with a concerned look.

Next day,Iseul went to school. As usual, she was excited for the maths period even though she didn't understand a thing.

When the man she was expecting entered,she smiled slightly. Like she promised, she had been keeping her distance with him but she could say looking at him that she had caused an effect on him.

Today,she decided to not to look at him. She minded her own business and didn't pay attention.

"Miss.Cheon,are you paying attention?", Iseul looked up boredly. Her eyes weren't on him instead they were on the board.

This went like this for few more minutes. When the teacher was checking everyone's notes,he stopped behind her seat. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered. "Eyes on me when I'm teaching, little girl"

Iseul smirked but didn't say anything.

"And button up your shirt properly"

Iseul looked at her blouse and yup! It was totally not her intention to use it to gain his attention. She was genuinely feeling hot so she did undo a button.

He glared at her and walked away.

Iseul succeed in taking his attention. She shook her head and looked out from the window. She had to look twice when she saw a someone looking at her from the playground down below.

She squinted her eyes.

Only one person was in the playground and that was a creep who was staring at her.

The person looked like a tall woman but her face was covered with the hood of the black cloak. Her face was pale as ice but her lips were black as coal. Demonic aura surrounded her like layer of protection.

Chills ran down her spine.

For an unknown reason, she felt this figure awfully familiar.

And she was not wearing any modern outfit. It was an outfit design from 800 years ago.

Who is this?
