Chapter 348: 11.40

"And your lust jar… is just getting tastier every day. It's an addiction at this point, hahaha!" Lee Yongsun said truthfully. He caressed Han's cheek and asked, "Don't worry, my beloved wife, I will fulfill your request so your group will win that Daebak award this year."

"You make it sounds like it's so easy. Daebak Award is an award given for the best of everything. Album sales, Youtube views, trending, et cetera," Han said.

"It is easy because I own half of the share for that company. You know, the company that hosted the event annually. So it's easy to rig it if I want, and I will rig such a thing, even if it cost me a great deal of money. Because I can't wait to take you with me," Lee Yongsun said. "Wife, I don't care about this wealth from the human world. As you see, I can create money out of thin air. But since it seems that you are really into this Daebak Award, then I shall give it to you."

"…" Han gazed at Lee Yongsun, who lit up a cigarette and started smoking. He puffed out the smoke and leaned on the sofa.

"Don't worry about that kind of thing. I will be the one who takes care of you, in this human world, and in hell," Lee Yongsun added. He gazed back at Lee Yongsun, and their eyes met, "Even if you want me to destroy this entire world, then I will do it. As long as…"

"As long as?"

Lee Yongsun pulled Han closer to his embrace and caressed his head, "As long as you don't run away from me. As long as you don't betray me. As long as you stay with me. As long as… you love me back…"

Lee Yongsun smoked his cigar again and puffed the smoke out. This time, he inhaled deeply and exhaled a lot of smoke that almost filled the room, which meant that he was trying hard to maintain his composure.

"Kim Haneul, you may not believe this, but I have a dream about the memory of the past."

"In that memory, I saw myself as someone else, a human to be exact. I don't know my name or another identity as that human, but that human… loves Kim Haneul the most. He loves Kim Haneul too much that he couldn't even breathe properly if he heard that something happened to Haneul. And our love life has been going well. We have been planning everything, from our wedding in Europe, our plan to adopt a kid or two, and our plan to live somewhere else, where nobody would judge us for being gay."

"But you betrayed me by cheating with the devil named Lee Yongsun. But that devil isn't me. It's someone else. After that, you ruined my life until I have nothing and no one. So in the end, I committed suicide after vowing to take over the devil, Lee Yongsun's body, so I can bind you forever with me."

"It is such a strange memory of the past that is probably just a dream, but somehow, it feels so real," Lee Yongsun gazed at his beloved soon-to-be wife. He put out his cigarette and laid on Han's thigh.

He looked up and gazed upon Han's handsome face and caressed it, "Kim Haneul, why did I have such a dream? I wonder myself. But this feeling, the moment I saw you, I know that you are the one I have been searching for."

"But I don't want to admit it so soon because that painful betrayal still lingers in my heart. I don't want you to betray me if I show you my feeling too quickly. So I carefully planned everything until you have no way out. Just like my vow in that strange dream, we will be together, even if that means I will drag you to hell with me."

"I am Lee Yongsun, the devil, the ruler of hell, and the devil who ruined human's life to harvest their sins. I shouldn't be feeling this, but I have fallen in love with a human called Kim Haneul, like seeing an old love that I missed so much, but I denied it until that feeling kept on getting stronger until I couldn't handle it anymore. Especially when you are close to Im Jahewa, it irritates me so much that I feel like I should just kill that guy to soothe this restlessness in my heart."

"I will do anything for Kim Haneul, even if he wants me to destroy this world. Because he is everything for me. And even after such betrayal, my love for him hasn't faded at all. But I cannot stand another betrayal, so if he dares betray me again…"

…

…

There was a choking air of silence between Lee Yongsun and Haneul in this room. Lee Yongsun kept staring at Han until he got up from Han's lap and fixed his tie.

Lee Yongsun got up and looked outside of the window, "Wife, you can leave now. Don't worry about the award. I will make sure that your group wins it, and I will make sure this will be the most phenomenal music ever created on earth."

"As long as you don't leave me, then I will do anything for you," Lee Yongsun said.

"Lee Yongsun--"

"You should return to your group mates, you still have to prepare for a debut showcase," Lee Yongsun snipped. It was a sign that he was not up for another talk.

Han kept staring at Lee Yongsun's back before he nodded and left the room quietly. Lee Yongsun bit his lower lip as he tried to hold this surging emotion in his heart. He was the devil who was ruthless to everyone and sought the best benefit of all.

But whenever he faced Han, he couldn't help but spoil that guy with love. It was just… because Han didn't love him as much. He got too jealous and destroyed everything. He was a ruthless monster, he knew it, but he could be ten times more ruthless to anybody else if Kim Haneul was involved.

'You don't understand, Han. None of my dreams is just a dream. I know that memories of the past are true. I know that you've betrayed and ruined me in the past. That's why I reincarnated as the devil now.'

'I've known about you and our past love the moment I saw you for the first time, so I carefully crafted a plan to trap you. I don't care if anybody else got hurt. I don't even care if I have to burn this world.'

'Because now that I have the power to control you, you will be bound with me forever. There will be no more second or third chance for us, Kim Haneul. There will be no more reincarnation for me. Because we are now bound by the devil contract with that golden chain. If you dare to leave me again, I will burn myself first, so you will burn with me together. Because we share our pain now.'

'So when I perish, then you will perish out of existence with me.'

'I'm sorry for being ruthless for you. This is just my unquenchable egoism.'
