LUCIFER | Kim Taehyung (COMPLETED)

6.

The club was dimly light. Taehyung walked to where Jungkook was. "Where is she?"

"She is sitting inside", the younger said. Taehyung could sense Jungkook was slightly disturbed.

"Hand over the work to Kahi and come in", he ordered the younger. Jungkook removed his apron as he followed Taehyung to the back of the club. The club was owned by Taehyung and probably was the hottest place in the city. The duo made their way to a small room at the end.

The door opened to reveal a woman sitting there. She stood up as she saw Taehyung before bowing 90 degrees to him.

"Master"

"Sit", he ordered and the remaining two sat. "What do you know?"

"My men saw him. James - your brother in Hongdae. He was with a woman at a club. His trips from hell to here have increased. My informants back there tell me he hardly ever spends time there"

Taehyung's fist clutched tightly as his eyes flashed a deep red. "Keep an eye on him. Make sure you report every move of his to me"

"I will master"

"When you go back to hell, tell Vani to keep an eye on the entries and exit through the portal. I want all records of who leaves and comes back."

"Yes master", the lady said standing up. "Now if you allow me, I need to get back"

Taehyung nodded. "Wait"

The girl stopped in her tracks as she turned back. "Can you do something for me?"

"Anything you ask master"

"Keep an eye on someone for me. Nana has a friend. His name is Hoseok. He will be joining the university soon. I want you to find me everything you can on him. He is peculiarly suspicious"

The girl nodded. "I will do that sir"

"Good, leave now. And be safe"

I sat on my bed, flipping through my notes to study the book. Taehyung being an asshole would definitely try his best fail me. And since I had challenged him, I had no choice but to work hard now.

I sighed once again throwing the book away. I couldn't concentrate. This bed had a gravitational force stronger than its surroundings. Everytime I sat up to study, I felt like lying down.

I browsed through my phone until a reminder popped up.

6 months until I turned 21. I smiled. I loved birthdays. Despite not having many people to celebrate it with, It still made me feel giddy.

I stared at the ceiling thinking about my parents. Would things have been different if my mother was alive? And what about my father? What if he hadn't deserted us. Grandpa never talked to me about my father. Every time I asked, he either ignored or got angry. So I stopped asking all together.

I was just lying in bed reminiscing when I felt a wetness near my nose. I swiped my finger over that are and looked to see blood. I immediately stood up as I went to the mirror. A streak of blood was flowing down the nose. I panicked and wiped it with a tissue but it didn't stop. I wiped again, the blood smudging all over my upper lip but it was no use.

I ran out of my room to grab the first aid box lying by when I slammed into Hoseok who was going upstairs with a glass of water.

"Ooh Nana, why are you up so late?"

"Hoseok.. this..", I removed the tissue holding the blood in place. His eyes widened as he saw the crimson flow.

"How did this happen?", he asked, his tone serious and no longer playful.

"I don't know, I was just in bed when I felt some sensation and wetness near my nose. It doesn't hurt though"

"Shit", he cursed under his breath. "Sit here, and put your head back. I will be back"

I nodded and did as he asked. There were hurried footsteps after which he vanished in his room and came back later with a big box.

"Take this", he said handing me a strange green looking pill. "What is this?"

"This uh.. I don't know the name but it will stop the bleeding"

I nodded and downed it with a glass of water. He removed a couple of tissue and wiped my nose for me. "Let me check for fever", he said. "Close your eyes"

"Why should I close my eyes?", I asked perplexed. What was this man and his strange medical requests.

"Just do". Hesitantly I shut my eyes as I felt his hand on my forehead. A warmth spread through my body the moment his hand made contact with my head. It was strange. Almost like magic - how energised I was starting to feel.

"Okay, you don't have fever", he said and I opened my eyes.

"What did you? I suddenly feel nice", I commented stretching my arms. He just chuckled nervously. "Do you?"

"Hmm"

"Okay you should probably rest. This pill will make you sleepy. It is good if you let your body recover"

"Okay. Thanks Hoseok", I smiled and went back to my room.

Hoseok looked at the girl retreat into her room. The smile he had faded as soon as she was out of sight.

The one thing he feared the most had begun and he had to be more careful now.
