The Demon's Wife {chapter three}
"I know your secret..."
"Awww you actually want a church wedding? How romantic...though I'm not sure if your God is happy to see me here" Onew was sitting close to the altar while I was at the end of the aisle. He looked so cool and calm -- not bothered at all.
We're inside the chapel now and I was patiently waiting for him to die -- he should be dying right now...right?
I waited and I waited long.
I waited until I looked like a dumbo staring at him.
Nothing's happening.
NOTHING IS FCUKING HAPPENING!!!
"Why are you looking at me as if you're waiting for me to die?" He just knew what I wanted to happen, what a smart ass.
He's still alive.
He's still speaking.
Most of all, he's still perfectly gorgeous.
Why? T___T
I thought he would feel uneasy inside the chapel. Seriously this is the house of God and he's a demon! Shouldn't he melt or burn, turn into ashes and be swept by the wind?
Isn't that what we see in movies? This place should torture him, he should be suffering right now...but why? Why is he still breathing? Why is he still so goddamn handsome?
"Did I disappoint you my Queen?" He gave me a 'you lose' smile "You know, you should really stop watching fictional movies. Seriously, I am the most powerful demon down there, did you really expect me to die this easy?" He laughed - he was insulting me and my small knowledge about his kind.
Smoke came out of my ears.
Yes, I admit. My idea of bringing him here was kinda lame but what do I know? I'm just a desperate pretty boy tortured by a perverted demon.
It's not like I've been fighting with demons before -- did he really expect me to be knowledgeable when it comes to killing his kind? I can't even kill a fcuking cockroach and I wake up one day trying to kill a crazy demon -- this is effort on my part!
"If you wanted to kill me, you should have at least done some research. This place can't even kill my toenail." He laughed at me, he was amused by my stupidity.
I am so making him pay for insulting me like this.
You insult me -- I'll shred you into pieces
I'll shred this demon into tiny microscopic pieces.
No longer able to control myself, I secretly grabbed a bottle of holy water and hid it behind me.
Outsmarting a demon is one tough job -- fortunately I am one tough chick and he's so getting it.
I am not going down without a fight.
I went near him, walking with my eyes fixed on his -- I put on a blank face hoping he won't be able to guess my next moves.
Just do it Key, he deserves it.
When I was close enough, I immediately executed my dirty plan. In just a snap, I poured all the contents of the bottle to him.
*splash*
*splash*
Oh my...I did it!
He basically took a bath in holy water. I wanted to laugh -- I wanted to laugh my evil laugh.
That was the time I expected him to burn and die.
THAT'S FRIGGIN HOLY WATER! HE WON'T BE ABLE TO LIVE THROUGH THIS!
I was so feeling my plan working. I can now see the tail of the rainbow after this storm.
Now all I have to do is wait for a couple of minutes...
...
...
...
...
??
"Bloody hell" He cursed, wiping his face.
Running my eyes on him from head to toe, I observed his face and body.
I expected something extravagant to happen but to my disappointment...nothing happened again.
He just became wet, that's all.
No burning of skin, no turning into ashes, no nothing.
He just stared at the super idiot trying to kill a demon using water -- that was me.
"The crucifix doesn't bother me either. So don't even think of making me eat that cross" He was irritated, it was showing off his face.
"You know if you want to see my 'wet look' you can always shower with me. I really don't mind" He added, I dropped my jaw and blushed.
Here we go again -___-
This was supposed to be a very very evil plan of mine, how can he possibly turn it into a perverted conversation? O-O
Well, if I were to be really really really honest...I was kinda enticed by the idea of showering with him -- but the mere fact that he's a demon destroys everything.
He's hot and handsome -- I would've done many things with him if only he was not a demon.
"You like it don't you?" He stated arrogantly, still referring to his pervy shower topic. He's always confident and it's so annoying.
"What are you talking about you creep!" I kept on denying, that was the only thing I'm good at since I met him.
"You always lie to me. You always tell me things you don't really mean -- you should know it's not working though. I can see through you. Your eyes don't lie..." He spoke as if he knew me too well
"...and right now your eyes are telling me you like me" I was an open book to him, he can always read me.
What a shame - I think I can never hide secrets from him.
"I don't like you. You're fantasizing sir" I turned my back on him, I can seriously feel my cheeks warm up.
He can't see me flushing like a red chili peppe--ahhh!
He grabbed my wrist -- effectively pulling my body closer to him. Even though he was only sitting, he was still strong enough to pull me into him. Then somehow, god I don't even know how - my butt found its comfort on his legs.
I was sitting on a demon's lap...and I swear to god he can feel my plump butt.
"Well I always fantasize about you, I hope you don't mind" He hugged me from the back -- he hugged me tight it almost felt like he was squishing me.
"That sounds really wrong...and you know, we look so wrong right now" I whined, I kept on whining but I made no effort to move away.
It happens right? There are times when you want to do something, to move away and run but your body simply can't.
"No babe, you're just perverted. I'm not even thinking green" He rested his head on my back, I sighed.
Temptation temptation, why do you have to be in the most cunning form?
"Well then tell me how much..." I can't believe I'm starting this kind of conversation with him
"How much what?" He sounded puzzled
"...Tell how much you fantasize about me" I whispered almost seductively
I'm a bitch, flirting is my game. Human or demon, I can easily wrap you around my finger if I want to.
"More than I should" It was a safe answer from him "Hey! Are you actually seducing me inside the chapel?" He gently pushed me away like he was so ashamed of us talking about these things in front of God.
"Nope. I'm playing with you. There's a difference" I smiled innocently -- he is so falling for my charms.
What a foolish demon he is - he may be smart and powerful but he definitely can't stand my aegyo, how much more if I show him my sexy side?
His nose will probably bleed every single minute.
"You amuse me" I saw him smile. Woaah! I made him smile, is that a good thing?
I smiled back at him, my charms never fail.
"You know if you continue teasing me like this, I swear I'll keep that body of yours busy every single night on my bed after our marriage" Onew once again gave me that perverted look, telling me that I'm not the only one with charms.
There's something about his eyes when he talks about these things. It's like you can see a hint of need and playfulness in it.
"Demons can dream" How lucky does he think he is? Having Kim Kibum as your lifetime partner -- that's like...every man's dream.
"Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt but are you guys booking for a wedding ceremony?" An old bald man wearing a white gown or whatever you call that thing approached us.
I can easily tell he was a priest.
...
...
OH.MY.SWEET.BABY.JESUS! A PRIEST!!!!!!
Took him long enough to come here and save me.
"Father! Father! Father!" I ran to the old man cause I was feeling crazy and desperate about my situation"I need you badly"
"Really?" He paused "Then what can I do for you?" He smiled. Oh this old man will help me hit the jackpot!
"You'll believe me right? You'll believe everything I say even if it sounds crazy...right?" I hesitated for a second but then I realized, this is now or never.
When the priest gave me the signal, I started with my story.
"Well you see father...a demon is stalking me right now. He wants me to be his wife and...I don't know, he won't go away. Please, I beg you. Make the demon go, make him leave me!" I cried like a baby talking to his daddy
Silence flew all over.
The priest gave me a what-the-hell-have-you-been-smoking look.
Is it really that hard to believe? O.O
"A d-demon?" The priest himself was confused - well he also looked like he was about to laugh -__-
"Yes, make him --"
"Father, we're getting married soon! My wife here is just too nervous and excited" Onew intervened. Of course he wouldn't let this pass!
He appeared from my back, patting my shoulder as if he was telling me to shut up cause I'm so not going to win.
"Oh, congratulations...but we don't actually allow homosexual marriage in Korea" The priest gave us a troubled look. As if he cares enough for our marriage.
"...but father, I'm telling the truth! He is the demon!" I pointed at Onew who just smiled innocently
"We got into a fight and now he's calling me a demon" Onew explained to the old man
"Dear don't call your future husband names. A simple talk can solve everything" The old man rubbed my shoulders, calming me and making me understand his words.
If he only knew, nothing can solve this problem of mine - not when you have a stubborn demon following you everywhere.
My life must be cursed.
When Onew and the priest started talking about random things, I then decided to leave.
This old man is useless -- just another puppet under Onew's control.
Our little trip inside the chapel went straight to trash. Sigh
This demon is definitely something.
----------
"Babe! Wait for me!"
Ugh he's so clingy. -____-
I was on the street walking fast. I want to lose him, outrun that irritating demon and maybe I can spend the rest of the day in peace.
...but it's impossible to make him leave me. Define obsessed. he's worse than all the stalkers I had.
"Leaving me already?" Seconds ago he was meters away from me but then he suddenly appeared by my side, grabbing my waist and pulling me aggressively into him.
I didn't have time to push him away.
"Hey don't use your powers in public! You'll scare people!" I hissed, he was so stupid. How can he possibly explain himself popping out of thin air?
"No one saw me" He rebutted immediately with a tricky smile.
I rolled my eyes away from him, he was so careless.
Losing interest in his face, I began searching for something more inspiring to look at. I scanned the street only to see cars pass by, everything looked dull until something caught my eye.
I saw a man dressed in all white staring at me intensely. He was in the middle of the road, crossing the pedestrian lane, approaching the side of the street where I'm currently at.
I can totally feel the lasers coming out from his eyes - melting me by the second.
It scared me, he looked like someone who would put me in a sack and run away.
I walked faster - away from him - everything in this fcuking world is starting to scare me.
"Onew, let's get out of h-here...huh?"
Whooooooooooooooooshhh.
I felt a sudden gust of wind whip my face, it caused me to close my eyes for a moment.
"O-onew?" I opened my eyes only to realize that I am now, alone.
You're mine Kim Kibum, only mine. Never forget that.
Onew's smooth voice rang inside my head.
My body snapped and my eyes grew big.
Where is he?
I turned around to check if he was only hiding somewhere playing games with me...but to my surprise, nothing but invisible air accompanied me
Oh crap what is happening to brain? Why am I suddenly hearing things? o.o
"Onew?" I tried calling him once more but still there was nothing, absolutely no trace of that demon.
Great, nice timing. He actually left just when I need him to get me out of here. I can't believe this T.T
I need to fend for myself.
Must. walk. fast.
Must. walk. fast.
Must. walk. f-f-ast.
"Hey hottie"
Urgh!
A small figure with a happy grinning face blocked my way. I scanned him from head to toe - what a shortie.
I rolled my eyes, the nerve of him blocking me like this! He's like too short for a man of his age doesn't he realize how little he looks like in front of me?
"I think I dropped something, would you mind getting it for me sexy lady?"
I glared at him. He's in no position to call me names!
"You dropped it therefore you pick it up. I don't want some lazy ass ordering me around" I raised my eyebrow. I only exhibit my good traits to deserving people, this short man will never be in my good side.
"Oh sorry! I didn't mean it like that. You see, my heart fell on the ground when I saw you pass by..." His grin grew wider, what a big mouth "...I was hoping you would pick up my heart and give it back" Gawd can he get any more annoying?!
"Get lost" I rubbed my annoyance on his face and walked past him.
Hew deserves such bitter treatment, his senseless brain needs some time alone.
I walked rapidly away from him, some may consider it running but I don't even care. My goal is to leave the place as soon as possible.
All I want to do is go home right now.
I want to see Taemin and Hyung, hug them, eat with them or whatever.
I want to sleep in peace tonight, wake up in peace tomorrow morning and live the rest of my life in peace.
...free from demons and creepy people popping out of nowhere.
"By the way, my name is Jonghyun!" I heard the man's powerful voice from behind. He was shouting and basically introducing himself.
ERRRRRRRR I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU...YOU STUPID PIECE! DIE! GO TO HELL AND ROT THERE!
"See you around sexy!" and that was the last thing I heard from him.
I know my name is synonymous to the words sexy, hottie, pretty, gorgeous, beautiful and so on but damn I don't want some psychotic stranger calling me those.
With that very very unpleasant experience, I made a pact with myself.
I swear from this day till the day I die that I will never go out alone cause God know I only meet crazy people. @___@
...but somewhere in the deepest core of my heart (if I do have one) I wish Onew was there kick the man's butt for me.
I can only wish.
----------
"...It's safe with me."
I got home safe and sound. I wanted to have a little chitchat with Taemin - you know, just to relieve stress - but when I step foot our living room I found him sleeping comfortably on Minho's lap.
Minho was sitting lazily on the couch, stroking Taemin's hair with all the love in this world. Looking at Taemin's peaceful face, I decided not to wake him up.
It's bad to bother angels when they sleep.
Realizing that I'm forever alone in this house, I went straight to my room - not even bothering to take a bite of whatever food there is on the table.
I held my breath as I opened the lights of my four walled haven. I hope the demon is not here.
When light surrounded the place, I was able to breathe again. I saw no demon around - good. Thank God he finally gave up.
I lazily dragged my body to the shower room. I need a bubble bath right now. Everything seems so crazy and it's making me feel ugly. I need a long shower to regain my self-esteem.
I dove inside the bathtub filled with bubbles and rose petals.
This is pure heaven. Finally, I'm in heaven, I deserve this.
I played with the rose petals, rubbing them on my skin. I had my eyes closed the whole time I was in the tub, it's the only way to relax myself.
I needed to contemplate on things and darkness really helps bring back the rationality of my brain.
Sigh. The water is warm...I don't want to get out of here.
...but eventually after an hour I finished my bubble bath. If only I wasn't that sleepy, I would have spent more time playing with water.
I slipped into my green boxers and went out of the shower room - catching a glimpse of my bed, I wanted to close my eyes and collapse already.
I feel so tired, it's weird.
I crawled my way to my fluffy looking bed, sleeeeeeeeeeep!
There was nothing but pure silence until some annoying voice broke it.
"Miss me?"
Upon hearing that voice, my heart dropped to the floor.
It was no other than the demon. He suddenly appeared on my bed, sitting there comfortably in his black suit.
Just when I thought I was free from evil stuffs.T_________T
"Lee fcuking Onew" I muttered, totally pissed "I want this night to be peaceful. Get the fcuking out of here."
"Awww I missed you too" That was his only reply, err. Forever irrelevant.
"You have some nerve showing up here when you were the one who left me completely helpless on the street!!" I stood up and spat my annoyance on his face.
Bitterness energized me, some sort of power bolted in my veins. My blood is reaching its boiling point.
"Hey, I left cause I needed to pee. I came back for you but you already left" He reasoned out "Demons pee okay? We have all the right" He grinned innocently
So he was busy peeing while I was saving my life from a complete psycho? I can't believe this ._______.
My energy dropped in an instant - his excuse was so lame I lost my will to fight with him.
I just want to fcuking sleep right now. -.-
"I'm still pissed. Go away just for tonight, I want to sleep in peace" I jumped into my bed not caring if he was there, sitting. Maybe if I ignore him, he would listen and leave.
Ugh what was I thinking? Ignoring him only makes matters worse.
"Want me to make it up for you?" His voice sounded so alive, like he had a bright idea in mind.
"Make it up to me by leaving. I will appreciate it more" I was so not interested in keeping our conversation alive.
I'm saying this for the nth time, I WANT TO SLEEP.
"I can clean your nails!" He suggested cheerfully, I smirked.
This gay. He actually know how to clean nails?
"I want to sleep Onew. Please get lost" I sighed, how many times do I have to repeat myself?
"I can do it while you're sleeping" He insisted like a child
I sighed again in defeat, obviously he can't understand basic English.
Realizing that he would never give up, I was forced to agree with whatever he wanted to do.
I was too sleepy to put on a fight.
"I'll sleep now. Don't mess with my nails or else I'll kill you tomorrow morning"
As I drowned myself into the darkness I felt him gently grab my hands using his own soft ones.
It felt tingly at first but then I got used to his touch after a while.

I can't sleep o__________o
I tried so hard but it somehow came to me that there's no way in hell I can sleep with his hands holding mine.

12 minutes...
Silence got into my nerves so I was left with no choice but to chitchat with the demon.
The things I do when bored ;____;
"Onew" I murmured his name with my eyes still closed. I'm not sure though if he heard it cause I kept my voice low and soft
"Yes?" He replied. Wow, he has good ears.
"Why me?" A random question went out of my mouth. It's already midnight, no wonder I am being random.
"Why you what?" Onew asked me in return, he was now massaging my palm
"Of all people why did you choose me?" My randomness got deeper. I was random but I was actually making sense.
"Why not? You're beautiful" He knew the right words, he knew it too well.
I held my breath.
I felt like jelly ace - weak and mushy. He is melting me with his skillful way of talking, if this continues my future husband might not be able to beat him.
"I am b-beautiful?" I stuttered.So unlike me, but I did. Curse this demon .__.
"You don't know?" He turned out to be a little surprised by my reaction
"N-no! I mean, I know I'm pretty fabulous. I just...you're the first one who told me that" I was being honest, he was really the first one to tell me that with all sincerity.
"Well it's true" He assured me as he grabbed my other hand for another massage.
"...but there has to be another reason - a deeper one" I insisted, grabbing my hand away from him so as to give him time to ponder on my question.
He paused for a while. Ohh Onew, just tell me the right words and you might win something tonight.
"Let's see...well, I chose you because you're beautiful, you caught my attention because you're better than the rest. Then I decided I want you...that's it, that's all" He stated firmly
I won't believe that. That's so shallow, he is definitely keeping something from me .______.
Why can't he just spill the beans?
"Then what will happen if I marry you?" Moving on I asked him another spontaneous question
"You'll become a demon but I have to convert you first before marrying you" He spoke in a factual tone
I smirked
"I will never marry you" I was so sure of it, becoming a demon will never be part of my plan. I'd rather die human than to live forever as a demon.
"I will never give up on you" Onew spoke like he was so sure of his words too.
"I will never give in"
"I will never stop"
I opened my eyes only to catch his eyes intensely staring at mine.
He was so sure of himself, like he already knew I would agree to become a demon for him. Well, I have to admit, his confidence in this matter was scaring me.
"Wait wait, stop. I don't want to talk about this. I really really really want to sleep now" I begged him to leave me for god knows how many times already. It was also my tricky way of changing our topic.
I was avoiding him and his cunning eyes.
His enthusiasm in converting me into a demon was something I can't handle.
"Okay I'll leave you -- but just for tonight okay?" He grabbed my pink blanket and tucked me under it.
"Thank you" I was kind enough to thank him, he was being considerate after all not to mention extra caring.
A round of silence followed. I thought he left already but after a while, I heard his voice again.
Shisus he just can't leave ;______;
"Key, can you promise me one thing? I swear i'll leave after this"
"Whatisit?"
"Don't fall in-love with an angel if you meet one" He whispered and I can tell, even with my eyes closed that we're only inches apart.
I didn't reply. I was on the verge of falling asleep, I really can't tell if everything is real.
Maybe I'm dreaming again - like I always do.
After convincing myself that everything was pure imagination - and that it's impossible for a demon to ask me such favor cause obviously, I am nothing but worthless to him...I felt a pair of soft lips touch my cheek.
Then my heartbeat stopped.
Everything stopped, my whole world stood still and then I froze.
"Goodnight my Queen" There was sugar and honey in his words, he sounded so sweet. So calming and at the same time tingly.
I like it though - it's stupid but I like it. I like how he makes me feel and I like it a lot.
He knew very well how to cast his spells on me and i'm helplessly indulging myself to it.
I am digging my own grave, searching my own downfall and killing my own self.
Just wait till morning comes Onew, I'll definitely beat you up for kissing me.
