My Innocent Devil

Chapter 4

Thanit's pov:

I bit my lips as i tightened my arms around his trembling body.

What in the world happened in the few minute i went out for?

How did he become like this?

Did he remember something about his human life?

I gently patted his head as i felt my shoulder getting wet from his tears.

"It's ok... It's ok... Ssshh...." I whispered soothingly as i kept patting his head and rubbed his back.

He whimpered softly and buried his face in my shoulder while clutching onto my shirt tightly.

"Tae... Ssshhh... You're ok... You're ok... Calm down..." I repeated.

He started sobbing and crying loudly.

I sat down properly on the bed and pulled him onto my lap.

He immediately buried his face in my chest and cried at the top of his lungs.

I held him close and rocked back and forth gently trying to console him.

How did this...

What triggered this kind of breakdown all of a sudden?

It took a long time for him to calm down.

I couldn't helo but get worried as i held his trembling body in my arms.

He was hiccuping softly.

"Tae?" I called him.

He shakily looked up at me.

His eyes were filled with pain, sadness, and self-hatred.

"Did i remind you of some bad memories?" I asked softly.

He bit his lips.

"I j-just reme-mbered the day i ki-lled them..."

I blinked profusely.

He broke down because he remembered the day he killed his family? What?

"Do you regret it?"

Frehs tears started forming in his eyes.

"OF COURSE I FUCKING REGRET IT! THEY WERE STILL MY FAMILY! EVEN IF THEY BEAT ME AND HATED ME TO THE CORE! EVEN IF I WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM! THEY WERE STILL MY FAMILY! AND I FUCKING KILLED THEM WITH MY OWN HANDS!" He yelled and covered his face with his palms as he started crying again.

I hugged him tightly letting him bury his face in my chest again.

What...

I've never heard of devils regretting their sins to this extent...

I've only heard of them being proud of it after tasting the power that comes with being a devil...

But him...

Why is he in this much pain...

I thought back to our first meeting...

His soul is pure... I saw no sin...

I frowned deeply.

I was getting more and more confused.

The hell is going on?!

How is his soul pure when he said he killed his family? And why is this much guilt eating him alive?

What's going on here???

I tucked him in after he calmed down and fell asleep.

There were hundreds of questions in my head.
