“Take my life and soul. My wings and everything, for their freedom as an individual.”

“Tae, by doing so, you might end up being a devil or stuck between the world and the other side. You can’t give everything.”

“And I can’t leave Seokjin like that. He started because of me so he shouldn’t suffer that way.”

“Tae…”

“Please… I know I was bad to you before and I don’t know how to pay your kindness back but I can’t make my lovers suffer much further. I bet it’s enough they’re having a hard time without me. It’s time for them to learn to forget me and move on.”

“… If you said so.”

Eunjung sighs, twisting the glass in her hand as watching the ice in the alcoholic drink rolling inside of the glass.

“That’s a big sigh for a girl who just got promoted.”

Eunjung looks to her side to see the newcomer with blond hair and fair skin who seems like an angel despite he is a devil – much evil than the rest. Irony how his name sounds angelic and so do his smile but people says the good-looking is always the worst.

“What’re you doing here, Jeonghan?”

“I can’t join my drink in the human’s bar? We don’t have a bar there so we can only drink this tasteless human addictive drink here.”

“I don’t think you’ve a business down here, so what’s under your sleeve?”

“Human soul.”

Jeonghan thanks the bartender with his smile before he sips his tequila. If a slave makes a deal, the devil feeds on the greediness, hatred, arrogant and hateful actions to stay stronger that helps them to gain more power and higher in rank. Getting human soul is one of the hardest thing to get since grim reaper always take it first unless the devil tempts the human for doing mischief that causing death.

In Eunjung case, getting the angel soul is very rare because they are not falling for the devil’s whisper. However, Eunjung managed to get pieces by pieces and it makes her stronger, thus she is no longer a devil’s slave but a devil herself despite of the deal she made with Taehyung. Because Seokjin soul has become a normal human soul, grey and colourless.

“Definitely can’t beat your score, gamekeeper.”

Jeonghan snickers, sipping his drink.

“And trying to disturb my evening? What catches your attention?”

“You and your family drama. You’re in depression which is not good. Go feed on someone’s hatred.”

“I tried to save him but ended up of him suffering because of my power. I don’t think I’m comfortable enough to use it.”

“Yet you’re still comfortable to watch him died 7 times and still continues the game.”

“I … had no control on myself.”

“Listen, I was a human too, like you. I’ve been there and trust me, when you’re fighting against your nature right now as a devil, you’ll suffer more. You can’t live as a human, to love someone, to be kind. You’ll end up losing control.”

“I know … It’s just never easy.”

Jeonghan hums to it.

“I never say it is but you’ve to live.”

Eunjung sighs, sadly to agree to his words. She taps her glass with his and raises it up a bit for “Cheers” but her frown stays there.

Eunjung walks along the empty street at night, taking the cold breeze by herself as she is trying to find her ‘food’ for the day. She still remembers on how her mother started to become Vernon’s slave, to get attention and people’s love despite she is already pretty. That what makes her father went mad after her mother’s death and left the good life as a doctor because the love based on desire is not pure.
