Part-time Devil
It is said that a devil’s life span is solely based on how many souls are obtained. Likewise, a devil without enough souls can be eradicated, or more specifically…die out. In order to gain a soul, one must make a deal with the devil. The devil may acquire the years that are promised in the deal, depending on how big or the small the favor may be. Another risky way to make a deal with the devil without using one’s own life years is to trade the souls of others. This was exact path that Byun Baekhyun had chosen in a blur of the moment. However, a deal breaker is to owe the devil the remaining years of his or her life.
“Who are you?” she asked him.
Baekhyun grinned, “Make a deal with me and I’ll tell you.”
“You’re highly allergic to strawberries, how…just how are you still fine. You this morning, and you right now are not the same person. I know I sound extremely crazy, but my gut is telling me that you’re not Byun Baekhyun!” she struggled to explain her observation. It just sounded bizarre.
“Tomorrow,” Aera continued, “I will report every single thing that I witnessed to him if you do not tell me…who you are.”
She whispered the last part. Threats were not her forte, not to mention trying to threaten someone else. Baekhyun dropped his smile, replacing it with a rather more devilish one. The look in his eyes was enough to make her legs weak. Aera gulped as he closed the gap between them.
“Do as you please, but I can’t promise that you’ll see your boss alive soon after,” he whispered, his breath tickling her bare nape.
