Hoseok and Taehyung sat in the room where Nana was sleeping. It had taken Hoseok a hell lot of his own energy to heal her. The demons had tried to drink her blood to claim her energy - which is what their lot fed on.

They were sitting in silence watching the girl sleep until Taehyung spoke. "What is she? I know she isn't fully human. She survived when the demons bit her - and it is not possible for any human to survive it"

Hoseok gulped but he knew he couldn't hide the truth anymore. "She is a halfling. Her father is an angel and her mother a human. I am here because she is soon going to turn 21. 6 months before halflings turn 21, their body undergoes changes. The angel soul within them fights with the human soul to take over. Most of them don't survive this and end up dying. That is why I am here to heal her and help her get through it. All these random painful migraines and bleeding is because her body is undergoing a transformation."

Taehyung was surprised but definitely not stunned. He knew about halflings. They had demon halflings too. Now it all made sense. Why his powers didn't work on her. Why nothing came up in the doctor's diagnosis. And why the demons were so eager to feed on her. Halfling blood was the sweetest.

"She doesn't know and it's best if it is kept that way", Hoseok said with a sigh. "Her symptoms are severe. Usually effects like these don't start until the fourth month of transformation. It hasn't even been a month for her"

Taehyung felt an unexplainable sadness when he heard this. His eyes grazed the girl who was lying so peacefully on the bed, her soft snores the only indication that she was alive.

"Who is her father?", he asked but was met with silence from the other side. Hoseok averted his gaze and it didn't escape the devil's eyes.

"She is their daughter"

"Who?", Taehyung asked perplexed.

Hoseok looked up, an apologetic look on her face. He couldn't bear to speak it out because he knew how Taehyung would react. "Whose daughter?", the man asked restless.

"SeokJin and Hwayoung's"

22 years ago
Busan

This was the first time Taehyung had actually lived on earth for this long. His stay was supposed to be only a week before he was to return back to hell. But a week became two and soon it was close to 6 months. And it was all because of one person.

Kang Hwayoung.

The moment he had laid his eyes on this girl, he had felt something within himself. Sure he had his share of fooling around with human girls but this one was different. He was passing by in a car when he saw her help an old man cross the road and the second time working as an employee in the convenience store.

He couldn't help but be attracted. This was the first time he had actually felt something for a woman. Her beauty and simplicity had him captivated. He visited the store everyday, ate there just so he could see her and be around. Soon small talk became full conversations and a casual acquaintance became a deep friendship.

He was walking down towards the store when he felt her creep behind him. He smiled to himself pretending that he was distracted while in reality he had sensed her presence from hundreds of meters away.

"BOO", she shouted and snaked an arm around him while the man pretended to be scared out of his wits. "Don't do this Hwayoung, I might have passed out from the shock"

She chuckled and he was captivated by her smile. She wrapped her hand around his arm as they walked. "What are you plans for dinner tonight?", he asked. "Do you want to go out?"

"Um, actually Jin is coming to pick me up. We are going out for dinner", her voice was a little disappointed. Taehyung nodded but deep within him he felt a little pang. Jin was Hwayoung's boyfriend. He had never met this man but just heard about him.

"Why don't you wait a little. I would love to introduce you to him", she said enthusiastically. "You both will hit it off well"

"I don't know. I need to be somewhere"

"Don't lie", she hit his arm. "I know you are being shy and antisocial. Jin is great, I promise. You will love him"

Taehyung gulped but the pleading look in the girl's eyes had him agreeing in defeat. "Fine"

They waited in the convenience store while munching on some chips until an expensive black car pulled up. "Oh he's here", she said and stood up, pulling Taehyung along with him. Taehyung felt the aura around him change. A very distinctly nagging presence which he couldn't put a finger on. The man had a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Seeing him, Hwayoung immediately let go of his hand and ran to him.

"Taehyung-ah, meet my boyfriend Jin", she said and both men were almost frozen. Jin was actually SeokJin - one of the most powerful and oldest angels in Heaven. An angel who he once considered to be like his brother. Who he had grown up with and played together with in the garden of eden.

SeokJin was also taken aback, not expecting the Tae his girlfriend kept talking about to be Taehyung or Lucifer - ruler of hell.

"Taehyung-ah", Jin said trying to hold back a tear. "It's you. How have you been?". He hadn't seen him since he was casted out of heaven. And he missed him so much. He till date hadn't forgiven the father of the heaven for doing this to him.

"Oh", Hwayoung asked surprised. "You both know each other?", she directed her attention to Taehyung. The later had a knot in his throat trying to control his emotions. His lips quivered and he had to strain himself from letting his emotions take over.

"We don't", was the only thing he said before turning on his heels and walking away from there. Hwayoung looked at Jin confused who himself had a couple of tears rolling down his eyes.

That was the last time she saw Taehyung before he disappeared without leaving a trace.

———•••———

Taehyung felt like someone had sucked the life out of him. It all made sense now. Why this girl felt so familiar to him. She was just like Hwayoung and Jin. Everything little thing she did was subconsciously just like Hwayoung. Yet she had the demeanour and will just like Jin did.

"Where is she?", he asked meekly to Hoseok. Hobi stayed silent, not speaking a word. "I ASKED WHERE THE FUCK SHE IS", he said violently holding him by the collar. His eyes had turned a slight black and Hoseok knew not to test him. Seeing how he had got the other boy a little scared, Taehyung controlled himself and let go.

"She died giving birth to Nana", he whispered loudly enough for him to hear.

This was another blow to Taehyung . He felt his legs turn jelly as he collapsed on the floor. This couldn't be true? Hwayoung was dead? The one woman he had loved his whole life was dead.

"When they found out she was pregnant, Jin tried his best to convince her to give the child up. He knew what the outcome was going to be. But Hwayoung herself refused. She wasn't going to kill the child despite knowing that it could kill her. And the one thing everyone feared happened - she died just moments after holding the child for the first time. I had never seen Jin this devastated."

Unknowingly tears welled down Taehyung's eyes as he sobbed. Even Hoseok felt his eyes water slightly. He bent down as he placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I am sorry", he whispered. Hoseok knew about Taehyung's liking towards Hwayoung. He had from other angels about this, who had seen him and Hwayoung when they visited earth.

"For Jin, I came to take care of Nana. He still blames himself for everything that happened. He hardly ever comes on earth. He thinks it is all his fault that their child is suffering and that Hwayoung is dead."

"It is his fault..", Taehyung growled lowly. "It is his fault this all happened. It is always him isn't it? Wasn't he the reason I was cast out of heaven? Isn't he the reason I lost Hwayoung? Isn't he the reason Nana is suffering?", he almost screamed.

"Taehyung listen..", the red haired man tried to cast him.

"Tell him to stay the fuck away from around here. They say it's a sin to kill an angel but I will not hesitate to kill him", he growled at Hoseok. With that he took one look at Nana before turning around and dashing out of the room.

———•••———

Passing through the numerous small rooms, the man finally ended up where he was supposed to be. Before he could knock, the door opened itself leaving a trail of purple smoke.

Taking an indication to go in, he walked into the room just to see him sitting among a couple of women.

"Master James"

The man addressed turned his attention from the women to his servant. "What brings you here Amaredius?", he asked.

"I have news of your brother"

James was about to take a sip of his whiskey but stopped. He eyed the women who understood they were to be left alone and immediately rushed out of the room.

"Go on"

"He killed Sevus, Narum and Enzo for a girl"

"A girl?", James was suddenly interested.

The man nodded. "He usually never interferes even if he knows that we are feeding off humans. But for this girl he killed the three of them. I was watching from a distance and immediately rushed to tell you", he said.

"A girl you say?", James's lips curled up in a smile.

"Not just any ordinary girl master. She is an angel halfling. She is not of age yet"

The smirk grew more wider. "A young angel halfling? Indeed interesting. Do you know Amaredius what they say about angel halflings?", he asked to which the man shook his head. "If you feed on their energy on the night of the red moon, you get a lot of power. I don't know if that is true but, I don't mind trying", he said chuckling before taking a sip of his whisky. "And because it is someone close to my brother, their blood will taste even more sweet"

A/N: When I say James, this is who I am envisioning. It's Lee Min Ki guys - I love that man.
