Taehyung fell to his knees in front of the white haired man, tears rolling down his eyes as he plead. The sky roared as purples streaks covered it. More than Taehyung the sky cried, not wanting to lose its favorite angel.
"Leave and never come back", the man spoke. "I banish you forever to the underworld. That is your punishment, you will never ever enter the gates of heaven. Rot in the hell"
"Father no, I will prove myself to be an angel worthy of being in heaven. I made a mistake father.. please"
"Iracus, do it", the white haired man spoke and the black robed servant stepped forward. Two men came in holding the angel in place who pleaded and cried. The silver blade swiped behind him in a flash and a blood curling scream left his mouth.
A part of his wing was cut. The angel was no longer one.
———•••———
"So did it hurt when you fall from heaven?"
Taehyung swirled the whiskey in the crystal glass, turning his attention to the blonde who stood beside him, her lipstick smudged telling Taehyung he wasn't her first catch of the night.
"For the 1000th time, I didn't fall. They just pushed me out of the gates and I made my way to the underworld. The religious books have it all wrong"
The woman was taken aback not expecting the handsome person to react this way.
"Excuse me.."
"Leave Bethany, I am not in the mood"
She stepped away on command but stopped. "Wait, how do you know my name?"
"Just fucking leave already", he growled and the woman immediately sprang to her feet and left, the loud music in the club masking the irregular beating of her heart which almost coiled in fear.
"I see you are still angry, but why take it out on poor Bethany? All she wanted was a good fuck". Taehyung looked up at the young man that poured him a drink. "Thinking about that girl hmm?"
"Jungkook you don't understand, she didn't even flinch. On the contrary mocked me saying I wasn't attractive enough to be lucifer?"
Jungkook chuckled seeing Taehyung so annoyed. "Maybe your weren't concentrating enough."
"I WAS Jungkook, I was. It is not possible. How can my torture not work?"
"I don't know, I can't torture people". The bartender rubbed the lime slice on the edge of the glass as Taehyung watched the salt coat each and every corner of it before the younger one poured the drink.
"I am going to her restaurant again. I won't be able to rest until I get my answers"
With that he snatched the glass that Jungkook had prepared before downing it in one go and leaving while the brown haired male looked at the drink he made for his customer taken away wide eyed.

I dragged the black trash bag through the length of the restaurant as I walked towards the door. My palms were sweaty and I stopped in my tracks to wipe them on my pants. As soon as I let go of them bag, the contents spilled out.
"Fuck", I cursed as I realized that there was nothing holding the ends of the bag together and it was stupid of me to let go of a almost brimming trash bag. Hastily I dumped the pieces of paper that had fallen out back into the bag as I pulled it along.
Once outside I dumped the trash bag into the bin and dusted my hands off before turning on my heels to go back in. I quickly glanced at my watch which displayed 11:55 pm.
Just then I heard the engine roar of an expensive car. My eyes fell on the black shiny BMW that pulled up before the driver parked it on the side. The door opened and the man stepped out, my eyes widening at the sight.
It was that Lucifer guy from yesterday who ate like a pig.
I noticed that he was busy straightening out his suit and hadn't seen me giving me a bracket of time to escape towards the restaurant.
Maybe if I locked the door, he wouldn't be able to come inside. He would assume that the restaurant was closed and leave.
A wicked grin crept to my face as I latched the door before walking towards the kitchen to hide myself. I hadn't even made it to back two steps when the familiar bell of the door opening was heard and he walked in.
I turned around, not being able to believe my eyes. I had clearly locked that door. How did he get in?
"Evening Miss Nana, I hope I am well within the working hours of this restaurant", he said smirking, pointing at the 11:58 on the watch.
"You...". No words left my mouth. I was too rattled. I started to doubt my own self. Did I latch the door properly?
"Don't worry, you did latch it properly. I am just a little too strong. One push and it broke open"
I gasped and fell back on my feet. This man had read my mind. I looked at the door - broken - as the knob hung by itself.
I looked back at him and he had a smile on his face. "Can I get one cheese ramyeon and Grilled pork belly please?"
———•••———
I sat across the man as he slurped on his noodles. He had once again requested I join him while he ate and when I refused, asked to meet my grandfather.
Not wanting to get my old grandpa involved in a mess, I reluctantly pulled a chair opposite to him and sat down.
"Don't slurp, I hate that mushy noise". Taehyung looked at the girl sitting with her arms crossed to her chest as he looked at her. He picked the napkin and gently pat his mouth before putting his chopsticks down.
"As you wish. Tell me something about yourself Nana. How old are you?"
I rolled my eyes. "20"
A chuckle left his mouth and I glared at him. "What is so funny about me being 20?"
"You are just 20. That is funny. You are a kid"
"Excuse me. I am a legal adult. I am not a kid"
He just smirked and continued eating the pork belly. "How old are you?"
"Do you want my real age or the age that I tell the humans?"
My lips turned into an uneven line as I looked at the weird man sitting opposite me. Taehyung was about to grab some kimchi when Nana's hand came close to his face. Taken aback for a second, he watched her open his left eye widely as he stared at him.
"Do you consume marijuana? Your pupils are unusually dilated. People who are high tend to have dilated pupils"
"What", he spat, slapping my hand off.
"You talk like you are high all the time. Kids at my college who do weed usually talk like this"
"If you were in hell right now, I would have you put into the dungeons of the deepest ring for talking to me like this only to be tortured by the low class of devils who would then proceed to eat your flesh at my orders", he said with his cold glare.
"Clearly high", I mumbled and stood up to get his check. I came back and put it on his table until he spoke.
"Stop. Sit back"
"What?"
"You want me to pay the bill than sit back"
"Excuse me?"
"Fine". He stood up to leave and rushed at him, standing in front of the door. I couldn't let him go without paying the bill. If Grandpa matched the books and he found less money, he would take the rest from me.
"I will sit. Pay the bill"
He smirked and went back to sit on his chair. I followed and propped myself down.
"Come forward", he demanded.
"What ! I am not"
Before I could say anything he pulled his chair towards me and pulled me ahead by grabbing my shoulders.
"Now sit still. And look into my eyes. Don't move at all - not until I ask you to"
His words were like a command and I couldn't stop myself from obeying. The girl looked at him and he stared back in her eyes. He had to try his powers. It wasn't coincidence that his powers did not work the last time. He looked into her eyes, putting every inch of effort to make her suffer. If he did this on an ordinary human, they would have probably died from the pain. But nothing.
His eyes widened as the girl just sat there looking at him with her big eyes.
"Are you done? Because I have to close now. Can you please pay and leave"
Without a word he opened his wallet and placed 100,000 won on the table before rushing out.
"Hey", I yelled and ran behind but he was already in his car.
"You forgot the change", I screamed but he drove away.
Clutching the 100,000 I went back in. I will return it to him when he comes in tomorrow.
