This fic will be nc-17, pls be warned.
Be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it.
Jung Yunho disagree with that saying. "They should be careful who to ask that wish from." He muttered as he enter their office. It felt like a lifetime ago when they were working on a case to save a 4 year old girl from a pedophile who kidnapped her from the park. It went bloody, he and his partner survived and the child was saved. And the safety of their lives didn't come for free.
Yunho looked at his hand, the scar is there. His mark. It feels warm to the touch, a reminder of the place where the mark's creator came from. He hid his hand into his pocket. Never gain, he promised to himself. He will not ask for a favor from him again. The price is too much. His soul will not survive such corruption. Even now he knew that no amount of prayers and church visits will save his soul from the first wish. He cheated death, all three of them did. Siwon and the child are unaware of what he did, everyone thought it was a miracle that they survived, especially the child. If only they know.
He came to their office, surprised that everyone is buzzing aroun, tensed. "Yunho!" Siwon came up to him with a worried face. "You're supposed to be staying at the hospital for theraphy right?"
"They let let me out, I'm almost fully healed." His friend who studies the occult was surprised at his recovery as well. 'It must have liked you a lot. I've heard of people wishing from him but it never voluntarily healed its prey. It just let them bleed until they beg for the pain to be taken away.'
Yunho isn't impressed. He doesn't think it is a compliment that a demon likes him. He felt the mark on his hand again. A constant reminder he has a debt to pay-off and the demon hasn't told him what the payment would be. "What's going on? Why is everybody looking tense."
Siwon looked grim, "Kidnapper. He already took three middleschool girls from across town in the last 6 days. We think its a seiral killer."
"Any evidence?" This is the first time they have a serial killer in this town.
"That is the weird thing, there is no evidence, no witness. The kids we interviewed just said their friends were there when they looked then they just turned around for a second and their gone. The only pattern is they are all girl. 15 years old. Even CCTVs didn't pick up anything, man."
"Jung, are you healed enough to work?" Their boss asked, he looks tired and haggard. SO unlike what Yunho is used to.
"Yes sir."
"Good, we need help with this case. MayGod save those girls. We're only seeing dead ends so far." Their boss rubbed his eyes and walked back to the conference room.
"Can you show me the CCTV shots? Maybe we missed something?" He asked Siwon.
"Sure, I'll also ask for copies of all the data we have so you can look at them."
*****
It seems unreall, all girls, just like what their friends said, seemed to have disappeared from the face of the Earth in one blink.
He sat at one of their offices, watching the vid showeing where the second victim was last spotted.
"You're not really missing anthing from that video." A voice echoed it his head. "What you should ask yourself is what is not shown in the video."
"Get out of my head!" He muttered under his breath.
"Oh," The demon chuckled. "do you want me to pop in your office so we can talk face to face? Your co-workers might frown upon having a civilian in their office."
"Civilian." He snorted.
"Well, I'm not an officer." A shadow fell behind him, and a mist formed, solidifyuing until hecan see the tall handsome man who offered him a chance to stay alive. He is wearing a wool sweater that has a wide neck that almost shows his bare shoulders. He sat at Yunho's dest, Those shoulder's tempting him to think of illicit thoughts. "I can help you solve this case." He whispered.
"No thanks."
"Why not take my help? Don't you want to save those girls? Their lives hang on a balance you know."
"Why should I believe you?"
"Same reason you believed me the first time." He smiled. That face should belong to an angel, not ad demon like him. "Either you wish for my help or you let them die. I don't lie about them being alive Yunho." He said his name like an invitation for dark things to come.
"How many hours do I have left to save them?"
"Everything has a price. I already gave you the information that they are alive for free. What will I get for answering your question?" He leaned in, face dangerously close. The sweater's neckline scooping low, making the smooth skin under it visible, tempting.
"Whatever you want." Yunho gripped his hand at the pencil he is holding.
"That's a dangerous offer. What if I take a price too high for such a tiny information?"
"How many hours?" Yunho repeated, he doesn't care what this demon wants, he knows there won't be redemption for his sould. If he can just save those girls, at least they will be saved.
"I admire your self-sacrifice. I think it is the way of the fool. But still, admirable. Most people I encounter think of only their self-gain."
"Get out of my head and don't patronize me. What do want for the information? Get it and give me the answer." Yunho said in gritted teeth.
"You're so alive when you're angry." The demon cupped his face and kissed him full in the mouth. Shocked, Yunho tried to push him away. "You told me to get the payment I want, I'm getting it, don't fight me." The demon's voice echoed in his head once more. Yunho stopped struggling. The demon sucked at his lower lip, then bit him. Yunho gasped when he tasted his blood. The demon sucked it out of his lip.
They both came up for air. "63 hours. They will be kept alive for 63 hours more." With those words echoing in the air, he vanished.
