What happened to Eunhyuk? Actually?

Eunhyuk was determined to kill himself. By the cliff, the end of the world, right at the very last second… he was petrified.

He was wrapped in somebody’s arms. Those arms were like icy cold chains. The cold was eating his flesh, cutting into his bones. His teeth were chattering. The chill captured him… froze his heart…

Gradually his world turned dark. No joke. It was mid day. Yet even the sun was painted black. In the most horrifying way, darkness embraced Eunhyuk from behind. He saw only despair… Desperation choked the air out of him. Helplessness paralyzed his whole body…

Husky whispers frosted his ears and everything inside. “No. Don’t do this my dear.”

Those arms tightened their grip on him. The next minute freezing cold lips burned Eunhyuk’s cheek. The kiss imprinted a burnt mark on his face. Eunhyuk suppressed a whimper. “This is not the plan. I want you on earth, not in hell.”

Terrifying cold breath from hell sent shivers down Eunhyuk’s spine. The breathing became heavier and heavier. Those arms, like snakes, moved along his body. Those hands, those fingers were caressing his everywhere. Every touch shot searing pain into Eunhyuk’s innermost core. Those deathly cold lips were claiming his shoulder, his collarbone, his neck, his jawline, his cheek, his ear…

Eunhyuk felt like being strangled. More to that he felt like being molested. Yet he was helpless. He could not move… petrified by darkness… There’s nothing he could do… except… silently swallowing his tears…

“It will be such a waste. I can’t let you do that. Even I fall for your charm you know?” Eunhyuk could feel the evil grin.

And that grin widened. “You don’t know how beautiful you are. Oh by the way… you have a lovely friend right? What’s his name? Donghae?”

Eunhyuk’s heart stopped. What happened before was bad, was horrible, was disgusting, was humiliating… But no… NO! Don’t drag Donghae into this!!

“You’re mine. I don’t like your friend. And I think this would be the best revenge!” All of a sudden that being turned Eunhyuk around. Arms like chains were locking him, one wounded around his waist and the other grabbing his neck. That pained him. Yet what followed pained him more. Those lips claimed Eunhyuk’s…

Eunhyuk gasped. The death kiss was life out of him. Eunhyuk could feel thrills and satisfaction in the other being…

With all his might Eunhyuk struggled to break free. He felt searing pain on his lips. He tasted blood. That being was biting his lip…

Eunhyuk didn’t know what he could or should do. In his head he was screaming. LET GO OF ME!!!!!

Without him noticing, fire red light radiated from Eunhyuk. LET GO OF ME!!!!!!!

……

Abruptly he was thrown onto the ground.

It took some seconds for Eunhyuk to regain himself. He looked up. He met Shesh’s penetrating gaze.

Eyes beaming with triumph, the devil looked down at Eunhyuk. Smirk on his face Shesh wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. “That was exhilarating.”

Instinctively Eunhyuk touched his own lips. He couldn’t help but gasped. Looking down he saw blood on his fingers. Jaw tightened Eunhyuk staggered up. Defiantly he stood in front of the devil.

Shesh stepped forward.

Eunhyuk took a step back.

Only until now Eunhyuk had a chance to examine his surrounding. Their steps echoed in some enclosed space. His feet were stepping onto some polished surface instead of the rocky ground by the cliff. He couldn’t comprehend. He was no longer where he was. When he strained his senses, he could feel nothing. There was neither the splashing of the waves nor the whispers of the wind. The sun was not only painted black. It had simply vanished. The air around was frozen. Warmth had disappeared together with the sun. There was nothing but darkness and chill and despair. There was nobody but the devil.

The devil took another step forward. “Beg me.”

Eunhyuk’s face twisted. The part of his soul, held by the devil, was being burnt, crushed, ground, pierced, tortured… It took all strength in Eunhyuk to remain standing… and to remain silent…

Shesh raised an eyebrow. Eunhyuk was indeed very entertaining. Though he was stubborn and annoying in the sense that he refused to submit to darkness until now, Eunhyuk was the best toy Shesh had encountered so far. The devil’s smirk widened. “Beg me for another kiss.”

Searing pain drowned Eunhyuk. It felt like arrows were shot into his knees. Eunhyuk fell down.

“Very well.” Teasingly Shesh lifted Eunhyuk’s chin. He looked into Eunhyuk’s eyes. The pain and bitterness inside fueled the devil’s pleasure. The defiance only added to the fun.

Just when Shesh was about to enjoy those lips again Eunhyuk pushed himself away, ignoring whatever arrows or swords or daggers still penetrating through his body. The pain left Eunhyuk on the verge of fainting. He was panting hard. He was drenched in cold sweat.

“Stop being a fool my dear. Let me love you. Don’t force me to force you sweet heart.” Shesh sent another wave of pain to Eunhyuk.

Eunhyuk couldn’t help but gasped. He bit his lip. Trembling virgorously he continued to push himself away from the devil.

Slowly Shesh moved forward. He could close the gap and force Eunhyuk right away. But he didn’t. That would spoil the fun. Seeing Eunhyuk struggle helplessly… Torturing that beautiful creature slowly… was a lot of fun.

……

Every move meant suffering. Every move was a torture. And it was helpless. There was no way out. Eunhyuk knew he was just being a toy. At the end of his struggle he would still be captured by darkness.

Dead end…

That was a dead end. Eunhyuk reached the dead end. During the whole time the devil knew that corridor would lead to a dead end. And he was waiting for that moment.

The devil laughed. “Come on. You really don’t have to bear so much pain. It pains me seeing you like this you know? Just say yes. Give me your complete soul. All sufferings will go away.”

Eunhyuk was scared to his very core seeing darkness close in on him. Shesh’s face was right in front of his. The devil caressed Eunhyuk’s face with his fingers like ice. He even spoke soothingly. Dangerous sincerity was overflowing the devil’s eyes. “My dear. I really love you with all my heart. Surrender and free yourself from the torments please? Maybe I make this easier? You don’t have to say anything. Just nod. OK?”

Excruciating pain again suffocated Eunhyuk, making what the devil just said really tempting.

……

Eunhyuk was in extreme agony. He was close to begging. And he was desperate. His basic instinct took over. Magical currents surged out and flowed through his veins. Fire red light flashed.

In the corner where the darkness was the thickest a glimpse of hope blinked. Caught off guard, the devil gasped and stumbled back. He glared at Eunhyuk.

What just happened? Let’s recall what Henry said.

Magic is a holy gift from God.

Eunhyuk couldn’t believe it at first. But then this phrase echoed in his head. Seeing hope Eunhyuk’s eyes brightened.

Yet that couldn’t save him from those distressful tortures. Shesh was furious. “HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The devil’s shriek shook the whole tower. He couldn’t let this secret out. He had to claim Eunhyuk completely.

“JUST NOD AND SURRENDER YOUR COMPLETE SOUL!!!!!!!”

The next second Eunhyuk felt a force pressing his head. Before anything could happen red light flashed again. The force retreated.

That was dangerously close. If the magic inside Eunhyuk reacted a split second too late, if the evil force managed to lower Eunhyuk’s head for just one millimeter Eunhyuk would be gone. The devil would have him. Completely.

Once again Eunhyuk slipped through the devil’s grasp. While we may want to shout for joy, let’s not forget Shesh still held Eunhyuk’s soul partially. That meant Eunhyuk had just earned himself more sufferings.

The devil couldn’t touch Eunhyuk. Yet he could ruthlessly punish his soul. Hatred and grudge flashed in his eyes while the devil enjoyed the scene of Eunhyuk crumbling, collapsing, rolling on the floor convulsing, and screaming…

“This is your last chance. Say yes. Or else you will forever be going through this. Let me repeat. You will forever be going through this!!!!!”

His forehead pressing against the tiled floor, Eunhyuk closed his eyes. God… I beg You… Don’t give up on me… Do not forsake me!!!!! DO NOT FORSAKE ME!!!!!

Desperate, Eunhyuk drew upon all magical power left in him. Red light shone brightly. Shesh was momentarily blinded. That spared Eunhyuk from those tortures for some seconds.

When the red light died down Eunhyuk was lying on the floor, unmoving.

……

Eunhyuk froze himself with his own magic. He could not move, meaning he would not bow or nod. He could not speak, meaning he would not beg or say yes. That would not stop the devil from imposing further pain on him. However that also meant no matter how much more anguish Eunhyuk would be going through, he had no way to fall into the devil’s trap and surrender the rest of his soul.

On the other hand Shesh also couldn’t do anything. Eunhyuk was enveloped in magic. The devil could not touch him.

Clenching his fists, his fire of rage burning 30 feet high or more, Shesh glowered at Eunhyuk. He hated this. He hated it he still couldn’t totally claim Eunhyuk after all. He hated it when one refused to obey him. This Eunhyuk! Damn!

Furiously Shesh fisted the wall and stomped the floor.

“This is your choice then. Your suffereing will never end. One day you will beg me. Just a tiny whisper of yes in your head will do. One day I will have your complete soul!” Throwing Eunhyuk a disdainful stare the devil turned to leave.

Eunhyuk knew it. He knew that signaled his neverending torments. But at the same time it relieved him… that in the end he managed to preserve the last part of himself. He’s not serving the devil. He’s not belonging to darkness after all.

And with Donghae’s love, Eunhyuk could take on all sufferings.

With your love, Donghae, I would not fear.

As long as you’re happy, I would be fine.

No matter how unbearable the agonies would be for me, the knowledge that you are fine would be my salvation.

Even until eternity I would be burnt in hell, I would smile recalling your love…

Eunhyuk belonged to Donghae and only Donghae. In addition to magic he had Donghae, who was and would be sheltering him. Eunhyuk would not surrender to darkness even in his head… because until eternity Eunhyuk would be singing this poem in his head…

……

The golden sword sliced open Eunhyuk’s flesh… slashed Eunhyuk’s heart…

Eunhyuk looked into the other’s eyes… Tears glistening he said, his voice shaking. “How could you do this to me…? Dong…hae…?”

Donghae’s reply was calm. “You are not Eunhyuk.”

Donghae’s stare was indifferent. “I heard him. I can still hear him. You are not Eunhyuk.”

Eunhyuk smirked. “Very smart.”

It was the devil’s voice. The devil’s face gradually emerged through Eunhyuk’s.

Shesh took a few steps back. Light from the golden sword was still shining bright. It looked like the sword had slain the devil. But Shesh was coming out without the tiniest scratch.

The devil clapped his hands. “Very smart indeed.”

Donghae tightened his grip on his sword, as well as his jaw and lips. The devil sneered. “But you will never find him.”

Shesh stared at Donghae. “Only by offering your soul to me can you save him.”
