chapter 41

...Flower of Evil...

Iseul entered the mansion after hanging out with Linghe. As she entered,she was startled to see all of his brothers on the living room. They were all seating on the couches and when she entered,their attention went to her.

"Danbi,it's late. Where have you been?", Namjoon asked.

"Went to have a walk", she answered even though she wanted to say 'none of your business'. She is still living under their roof without knowing their intentions,so she gotta be careful with her every move.

Jin looked mad but he didn't say anything and avoided looking at her.

Namjoon sighed. "I think you should go and see your dad now"

Iseul was a bit worried now. "Why?"

"He isn't feeling well today"

Iseul's heart leaped a beat. Without waiting for him to finish, she dashed upstairs and barged into Mr.Cheon's room. As she entered,she saw Mr.Cheon lying on the bed and Yejun was beside him taking care of him.

Yejun was about to touch Mr.Cheon's forehead but Iseul grabbed her arm immediately and pulled her away from Mr.Cheon. Both Mr.Cheon and Yejun were shocked because of her abrupt entrance and behaviour.

Iseul kept glaring at Yejun. "You did something, didn't you?!"

Yejun was confused. "What ?"

Mr.Cheon, "Dan,what are you saying?"

"Did you make him ill? What did you do?!"

Mr.Cheon stood up from his bed with a little bit struggle and tried to calm down Iseul. "Dan,what's wrong?"

Yejun,"Danbi,speak clearly. What are you accusing me for?"

"Oh you know", Iseul's menacing eyes shot daggers at her. "You are not going near him. You hear me!"

"Dan –ugh", Mr.Cheon suddenly fell back to the bed holding his head.

Iseul turned back immediately with wide eyes and went to his side. "Dad!"

Mr.Cheon shook his head. "I'm alright. Tell me,what's wrong with you. Why are you lashing out at her? She didn't do anything"

Red veins appeared on Iseul's eyes. She suppressed the sudden urge to kill Yejun because of Mr.Cheon. "How did you fall a sick?"

"It was just the stress. That's all",Yejun answered for him.

Iseul felt this fear in her heart. She remembered how her mother fell sick before dying. She didn't want it again. Mr.Cheon was someone who became important to her. She felt overly possessive over him. The need to protect him was engulfing her.

Mr.Cheon groaned as he held his head. Yejun immediately reacted and tried to touch him only to have her hand in Iseul's dead grip. "You are not touching my dad"

Mr.Cheon,"Dan! Sweetheart, stop this"

Iseul didn't let Yejun's hand go and dripped it more tightly as she wanted to burn her alive.

"What's happening here", Taehyung asked as he entered the room. He looked at Iseul's dead grip on Yejun's hand and the depressed look on Mr.Cheon's face. "Let her go"

Iseul almost scoffed loudly. She threw away Yejun's hand and glared at Taehyung thinking he is taking his mother's side.

Taehyung, "Danbi,look at your dad. He is sick because of you. Don't cause any more trouble to him"

Iseul was taken back. "What? What do you mean?"

Mr.Cheon,"That's not it —"

Taehyung, "Stop spoiling her. She needs to know. Listen here,Danbi. Because of recent events,your dad had gone to a depression state. He's been worried about you a lot. And that's how he ended up like that"

Mr.Cheon,"That's not right. Taehyung, please. Dan,it's not true. It was just a little headache", Mr.Cheon didn't want Danbi to know about his stressed state because Danbi had gone through worse and it was his responsibility to be by her side to give her comfort. So,he felt wrong to be ill like this when it was Danbi who must be struggling with depression.

Iseul was not struggling with stress because of the incidents. Taehyung knew it so he directly said the truth.

Iseul sighed. She blamed herself for not taking care of Mr.Cheon.

Taehyung left the room without a care after telling her the truth. Iseul looked at Yejun and glared. "Why don't you leave too?"

Mr.Cheon," Danbi!!"

Iseul frowned. "I'll take care of you. Don't you want your daughter to take care of you? If you don't listen to me,I'm going to leave this mansion and will live on my own"

Mr.Cheon widened his eyes. "Hey!"

Iseul looked at Yejun again and stared at her blankly until she leaves. Yejun gave an assuring look to Mr.Cheon and left silently.

"That's rude,Dan. You can't treat her like that. That's my wife"

Iseul made Mr.Cheon lie down and sat beside him. "Whatever. I don't like her. She is too ugly to my eyes"

"Hey", Mr.Cheon tried scolding her. "When did you become this rude,huh? I thought you are fine with her. What did she do to you to make you hate her that much?"

A lot

Iseul smiled. "Alright. Sleep now. I'll be here if you want anything"

Mr.Cheon sighed. "Try to get along with her. She is nice and caring. She loves you —"

"Sleep dad", she patted his chest softly and looked away from him. If it wasn't Mr.Cheon who said that,she would have pulled that tongue out which uttered those words.

When she looked at Mr.Cheon again,he was sleeping. She sighed in relief and took his hand to hers. She smiled. "Danbi,you got a great dad. He loves you a lot. Why did you have to leave?"

"To live,this person is a enough reason", she mumbled as she remembered her mother. If she atleast had a mother with her,she wouldn't have turned into a monster like that. For her,just one person is enough. But she had none.

She looked Mr.Cheon with a gentle expression. "I hope you will not get hurt. I hope you will get to live a long life"

She stayed beside Mr.Cheon whole night.  The reason why she is staying in that freaking mansion. She couldn't leave him with these none human creatures.

Meanwhile, at Beomgyu's apartment.

Beomgyu was sitting on the couch with another grim reaper on the opposite couch. He was a grim reaper he had known for a long time. Can be considered as a friend. Kang Taehyun.

"So,you are practically asking me to switch your body with mine?", Taehyun asked.

Beomgyu nodded. "Yes. Only for few days"

Taehyun almost laughed in rage. "You are fucking crazy. Do you know how dangerous it is to switch bodies? We might forever be stuck in that body!"

"Please. I need to do this! I need to meet her!", Beomgyu was practically begging now.

Taehyun, "You dimmwit. Your trial is in few weeks. It's no secret anymore that you used a forbidden spell to bring back her. And you already got a curse shackle from a ghost King! Do you think high Lords will hold themselves back from punishing you?! If you get into another trouble like this,you will forever be trapped in hell to never have a reincarnation!"

Beomgyu messed his hair in frustration. "I know okay! I'm ready to take the responsibility! I'll say I forced you if something happened —"

"Take the responsibility? What will you do if his body get damaged? What will happen to Taehyun's soul?!", It was Yeonjun who had just teleported to Beomgyu's apartment.

Beomgyu gulped seeing him. He didn't want Yeonjun to know about this. Yeonjun walked to Beomgyu and pulled him up by his collar before punching him on the face. Beomgyu fell on the ground with a busted lip.

Taehyun was taken back from the sudden unexpected attack. Yeonjun had always adored Beomgyu and had never hurt him like this.

Yeonjun who had met Iseul earlier,was even more angered with Beomgyu. "Why can't you still let her go! Even after you got your memories erased,you are still — urghhh! For fuck's sake! Let her go! Will you?!"

Beomgyu stayed still looking down. "...I can't"

Yeonjun laughed in madness. He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. He looked at him. "Why?"

"I can't abandon her. I brought her back"

Yeonjun squatted down and held Beomgyu's shoulders. "She got seven motherfucking ghost kings around her! It's their business now. It's upto them whether they want to hurt Iseul or not. We got no business with their affairs. You have to understand this"

Beomgyu stood up pushing his hands away. "I said no", his eyes were determined and dark. "I want to know why she is in my nightmares. Why does it feel good even though it was a terrible nightmare? Though I am scared as fuck,I still want to live in that nightmare. Why? Just what's wrong with me,hyung?"

Yeonjun closed his eyes and lowered his head. "What do you see in your nightmares?"

Beomgyu closed his eyes for few seconds and then opened to see Yeonjun's opened eyes.

"Red"

Taehyun was carefully observing both of them. He didn't know if he should leave or not but hearing what Beomgyu said,he wanted to stay and listen.

"Everything was red. A bed. I was chained in that room. Blood. Scars. She was hurting me"

Yeonjun, "I don't think you want to know what happened to you. I'm giving you the final warning. Stop right here. Don't go there. Only pain is left for you"

"I still want to know", Beomgyu said.

Yeonjun nodded in defeat. He looked at Taehyun. "Do you have the time machine?"

Taehyun raised his wrist which had a clock. "I used it few days ago. Before everything, let me warn you. Last time I went inside the time,there were sudden time waves. If you get caught into one,I'm afraid you'll be stuck there forever"

Yeonjun nodded. "Got it. We'll be back soon"

Taehyun nodded and removed his wrist watch before giving it to Yeonjun. He wore it and looked at Beomgyu. "Whatever you are going to see will not be good. And don't even try to put your hand inside the time frame. If you fell inside the frame,you'll create time waves and we are doomed"

Beomgyu nodded and wiped the blood on his lip.

Yeonjun, "Ready?"

"I'm ready"
