"Ugh…!" Dahee woke up and saw herself on the couch in the living room. Then, she saw Sehyuk bring her a glass of water.
"Sehyuk-ssi, where's Jihwan?!!" she grabbed his arms.
"Calm down first Dahee…your body is still healing from the battle…Jihwan was resting in his room" he sat down beside her.
"Good then…" she said and suddenly remembered what had just happened right before she fainted.
"Wait a minute! I saw him as a demon! With wings with beautiful eyes and a legendary sword!!" she said and it made Sehyuk flinch.
"A-are you sure about it? Maybe it was just your dream or hallucinations?" he said it awkwardly and without looking at her.
"I'm telling the truth!! I remember everything from the moment when we arrived here!!" she insisted.
"Okay, then tell me how you fainted?" he asked.
"I—" Dahee was clueless about it for a while. She was also thinking about how she fainted because the only thing she remembered was Jihwan being a demon.
"I actually forgot about it…" she said.
"Then…let me tell you how…" he said and fixed his position.
Dahee was sitting properly to hear something from Sehyuk. She wasn't a person who can forget things easily. Maybe after hear Sehyuk's story, she can remember something.
"So…after I've been thrown right to the wall, I also fainted and when I woke up, that parasite was gripping your neck while you fainted. I used my power to make it escape from Jihwan's body and burned it…" he explained the lies calmly.
"So, everything that I experienced was a dream?" she asked.
"What did you experience?" Sehyuk was asking even though he knew the truth.
"Nothing, just a simple unreal dream, I think the parasite wanted to play with my memory" she said.
"If you said so," Sehyuk leaned back on the couch.
"By the way, how was Jihwan's conditions?" she asked in worried.
"I told you that he was fine, right? You keep worrying about him though, is there something going on between both of you?" he looked at Dahee with curiosity and she made her awkward laugh.
"No…! Nothing happened, haha" she said.
"That laugh doesn't look sincere at all…" he giggled.
"Does it look too fake?" she asked.
"Yup…you need to practice more…" he said.
Dahee sighed "I just don't want anything bad to happen to him, I can't get another torturement from Daehyun oppa…" her eyes lowered.
"Daehyun hyung? Isn't he always very kind towards you?" he asked.
"Not until the last time when I failed my report…" she said.
"I see…so, are you gonna treat him until he wakes up?"
"I think so…and I need to finish the last report so I can be a Succubus…"
"Succubus? You really wanted to be that thing?! I thought you were just joking?" he was shocked.
"I'd rather not be Demon's King wife than a Succubus…what's wrong with being a Succubus that makes you look shocked?"
"Hyung really didn't tell you anything, did he?" he sighed.
"???"
"Actually, Succubus was a Lilin-demon that appears in dreams to seduce men, usually through sexual activity…Succubus or Incubus sucks humans soul through s£x to get power so they can be in a higher status and power…" he explained and it makes Dahee gulping in hesitancy.
"Succubus was doing sexual intercourses with humans through dreams…so it means that Succubus still need to do it or not? Or is it only magic to make them feel like they're doing it?" she asked.
"You actually need to do it to sucks the aura or soul…" he said.
Dahee was having something in her mind that made herself blushing.
"Yah…why are you blushing? You got something in your mind isn't it~" he teased her.
"Andwae!" Dahee threw a pillow to his face and Sehyuk just laughed.
"I'm just kidding~ don't take it too seriously…" he said.
"Yeah, I know that…" Dahee is still blushing.
Then, Sehyuk looked at the clock at the wall "oops! I need to go now, my shift will start in 3 hours…" he stands up.
"Okay, I'll seek you out…" both of them were standing outside of the door and Sehyuk waved to her.
"Bye bye!!" she waved back at him.
Once Sehyuk got into the lift, Dahee was about to walk in until she met up with that old lady again.
"Eh! Annyeonghaseyo ahjumma~" she bowed.
"Annyeonghaseyo Dahee-ya~ how was your day?" she asked.
"Good~ how about you?"
"My day as always, lonely~" she replied and it made Dahee a bit touched.
"How about your husband and children?" she asked.
"I don't have any husband~ I'm single…" she said and it made Dahee shocked.
"Y-you're single?! That's quite shocking…" Dahee giggled.
"Yeah~ most people said that too but I don't really care, sometimes you need to have your own way to make yourself happy~" she smiled.
"You're right…" Dahee recalls how happy she was back then, together with her parents and family.
"If you got anything, just knock on my door and I'll always be with you~" she said.
"Sure~ thank you~" Dahee said.
Both of them get into the house and Dahee leaned back at the door, Sehyuk's words still haunted her mind. If just she knows that Succubus works that hard, she'd rather be Demon's King wife.
"But what can I do now…it'll be very embarrassing to accept the proposal of the Demon King now. I can't disgrace my brothers" she mumbled and went to Jihwan's room.
"I should just accept his proposal…" Dahee sits beside Jihwan's bed.
Jihwan who's actually pretending can hear everything from Dahee.
"I don't want to have s£x with random humans, what a terrible task…" she started sobbing, thinking about her fate.
Jihwan was holding himself from opening his eyes. Don't know why her sobbing and sadness made him feel distracted and sympathetic. He can't move now or she'll hesitate about him.
"You can't cry now Dahee! You need to fight for it!" she said and it makes him a bit calm.
"I know you're not that weak…" his heart whispered.
Dahee then went to the kitchen and cooked some porridge before he woke up. Then, Jihwan opened his eyes and sat. He looked at the mirror in front of him.
"I wouldn't let you be a Succubus…that's my promise…" he said.
…
Dahee brings a bowl of porridge into his room and sits beside him.
"Should I awaken him?" she said and looked him in the face.
"When I looked back, he was quite handsome though…" she giggled.
Dahee then put her face close to his face and touched his nose with her nose. She realized what she's doing and stayed away from him.
"What am I doing…?!" she blushed and saw Jihwan open his eyes.
"Y-you're awake…?" she asked awkwardly and avoided eye contact.
"Yeah…what happened?" he asked like nothing happened.
"N-nothing…are you hungry?" she changed the topic.
"A bit…"
"I cooked the porridge, are you okay with it?" she asked.
"I'm just fine with anything…" he said.
Dahee picked up the bowl and wanted to feed him but Jihwan looked at her.
"I can do it by myself…" he said.
Jihwan tried to lift up his hands but not a few inches from the bed, the stings were crawling all over his body.
"Argh…!!" he whined in pain.
"Are you okay?!" she panicked and held his hands without hesitation.
"You shouldn't move a lot…" she said while looking at his hands.
Jihwan actually didn't feel pain, he just wanted to tease her but who knows that she'll be this worried.
Jihwan then got his guts together and laid his head on her shoulder. Dahee was flinching and automatically became a doll, hard and not moving because of the vibrations in her heart.
"Don't be so stiff…I just wanted to borrow your shoulder for a while…" he said.
"O-o-okay…" her face already turned red and her hands still on his hands.
Jihwan was smiling and wanted to tease her more. He then faced her neck and sighs.
Dahee can feel his warm breath at her neck and become more red. Her soul almost flew away from her body but she tried to hold it.
Jihwan then felt satisfied by teasing her and leaned back at the bed.
"Are you okay? You looked red…" he said and gently touched her chubby cheek.
With a quick response, Dahee looked away and grabbed the bowl.
"Y-you need to eat this before it gets cold" she said and he giggled.
Jihwan opens his mouth and Dahee feeds him.
"You need to keep your cool Dahee…!" her heart whispered.
"How cute she is, trying to control her throbbing heart~" his heart whispered.
After Dahee finished feeding him…
"Is there anything you want to do?" she asked.
"I want to go to the toilet for a while… he said.
"Okay…" Dahee helped him stand up and held him until in front of the bathroom door.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Helping you…" she said innocently.
"I wanted to go to the bathroom…" he said.
"And?" she asked, still didn't get his hint.
"You want to shower with me?~ " Jihwan pinned her against the wall.
Their faces again being very close and it sends shivers down Dahee's spine.
"Y-you're too close…" she looked away and pushed his chest.
"So what if we close~ let's continue something that should have been done a few days ago~" he said, lifting her up to the bathroom.
"Yahh!!! Put me down!!" she screams.
"Let me teach you how to be a good Succubus~" he said.
"N-no!!!" Dahee tried to escape but Jihwan grabbed her by the waist.
"Where are you going huh?" he lifted her.
"Better for you to put me down before something bad happens!!" she warned.
"Omo! Did a little demon just threaten me~ how cute~" he teased and it made her blood boil up.
"I said…let me go!!" she hit his forehead with her head and Jihwan accidentally let her go.
"Dahee-yahhhh!!!!" he yelled and Dahee immediately ran out from the bathroom and locked herself in her room.
She wrapped herself in the blanket not because of scared but the shyness and tingling that wrapped around her heart.
"Did he lose his mind or hit his head too hard huh?!!" she punched the pillow with a heavy breath.
…
Jihwan wiped his wet hair with a towel and took his phone there's a message from Soohyuk.
"Jihwan…the potion that I talked about, bloody shell can only be drinks at night when the red moon occurs…" he sent.
"What happens if she drinks it another day?" Jihwan asked.
"It'll be a poison…" Soohyuk replied.
"Can't you find a potion that has the same effect as a bloody shell. I think it's too dangerous to let her drink something that can actually be a poison" he said.
"Why are you so care about her huh?~ that's not the Jihwan that I know…(⌐■-■)" Soohyuk sent.
"I'm just asking…and keep your nonsense. I'm serious" he replied.
"Okay okay~ unfortunately, there isn't a potion that is the same as a bloody shell. It was the rarest among other potions because the changes from a healer to a poison and high defense of protection…" Soohyuk explained in a voice note.
"I see, I'll make her drink it…" Jihwan sent.
"Jinjja? Etteoke?" Soohyuk was curious.
"Why did you want to know? I have my own way…" he said.
"Your own way huh~ I got that~" Soohyuk sent.
"Keep your horny too…I didn't mean that way —_— " he sent.
"Okay~ if you said so~ I'll just send the potion later, see you…" they ended the conversation.
Right after he put down his phone, Dahee knocked on the door and opened it.
"I got something to talk with you…" she said bravely.
"Okay?"
"Are you a demon?" she looked him in the eyes and it made the situation go silent.
Then, Jihwan burst into laughter "me? Demon? HAHAHA!!" he laughed and it made her shy.
"Why are you laughing?!! I'm just asking!!!" she stomped her feet but he kept laughing until he was on his knees.
"Stop laughing!!! Just answer my question!!!" she said again, trying to hide her blushes.
"Okay okay~ mianhae~ Haha…I'm not a demon okay? I'm a normal human~ where did you get an idea to think that I'm a demon huh?" he wiped his tears.
"Nowhere! Just asking because I'm curious…" she walked out.
Jihwan smiled to see her cute behavior, what a cute stomping~
"Look like a doll~" he mumbled and continued with his things.

The next day, Jihwan takes an MC for 2 days to make sure his wound heals fully before he can continue his work.
"You're not working?" she asked.
"I was taking an MC for today and tomorrow…" he said.
"Ouh…" Dahee walked to the kitchen and cleaned it while Jihwan was still on his laptop, doing diagnosis.
Both of them were doing their own work until Jihwan felt bored and turned off the laptop. He looked at Dahee who was washing the dishes and thought of taking her to buy something.
"Dahee-ya…" he called.
"Yes?" she answered from the kitchen.
"Let's go out…" he said.
"Just go out…I'll just stay at home…" she said with the tap water running on.
"No, I mean, let's go buy something. I need to buy some food and also something, so I need your help to carry those things with me…" he said.
Then Dahee walked towards the kitchen door, looked at him.
"What things that you wanted to buy?" she asked.
"I don't know, there's quite a lot of things that I need to recheck and buy. That's why I need your help…" he said.
"Okay…when will we go?"
"Maybe now…you better get ready, I'll check things that we need to buy…" he said and both of them got ready.
