Once again a supernatural Eunhae, or rather Haehyuk story! Unlike Ghost Husband, which was all cuteness and fluffy bunnies, this one has demons, and not just of the horns and pointy tails variety. I promise there will be a happy ending, but there are also mentions of abuse in the beginning, and I'm not just talking physical. If you think this may upset you, please go read Ghost Husband instead.

I'll try to keep things clear as I write and post, but here is some basic vocabulary I mostly adapted to fit my needs for this story

Incubus, plural incubi- demons who feed on , or rather the strong emotions that come attached to it. Unlike most stories, incubi aren't wanton seducers or rapists in this, well not any more than some humans might be. There are also no succubi, the female counterparts. Why? I don't want to wite about girls this time, that's why.

Demons- a generalized term for any number of types of supernatural beings. They aren't all bad, nor all good for the most part. Like most humans, they're a mix of both.

Feeders- humans who are willing to provide incubi with their non-physical dietary requirements. Often they're long-term lovers, but can also be one-night stands or short-term relationships if the feelings are intense enough

Bonding- when an incubus joins with a willing human to form a pairing of two beings in one mortal body. Mostly done so very young or weak incubi have a better chance of survival on surface earth, though occasionally a stronger incubus might do so for other reasons. An incubus who chooses to bond with a human makes caring for and protecting that human his highest priority, and it is not a contract that is ever made lightly.

Bondling- what either a bonded human or incubus refers to their other as

Surface earth- exactly what it says. It refers to where the humans live, rather than the underground realms where demons originate 

Imprinting- a bit like when baby duckies follow the first thing they see after they hatch, it refers to a very rare phenomenon where an incredibly weak, vulnerable incubus/human pairing becomes completely dependent on another human, usually as a coping method after major trauma and only if that human is worthy of carrying such responsibility
