Guardian of the forest












What? Jimin looked at Yoongi with a serious face. Yoongi said he didn't know either, and that it had disappeared while he was away from home.












"Did you look everywhere? Are you sure it's gone?"









"Uh, it's not in the room or nearby."












Jimin took Yoongi down to the Demon Realm with a serious expression.












※※※












The place where he opened his eyes was none other than the very spot where Jimin had come to look for Juyeon last time. There was alcohol and glasses on the table, and beside him was Juyeon, staring intently at him. The moment their eyes met, he recoiled in horror and distanced himself, and seeing that, Juyeon smirked.












"You're a more timid child than I thought?"









"...I-Isn't that... that person from last time...?"









That's right, I'm the one tied to the tree trunk.












Heeyeon’s gaze fell upon her hand as she poured liquor into a glass. The gurgling sound as it combined with the ice looked refreshing. However, that thought was fleeting; she must have slammed the glass down with such force that it shattered with a loud noise. The ice fell with a thud, creating liquid, while the remaining liquor flowed down onto her hand along with Juyeon’s blood.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he licked the blood mixed with the alcohol with his tongue. Heeyeon leaned further back on the sofa.












"Do you know why I'm doing this because of a human girl like you?"









" ..J-How would I.. know.. "









I don't like someone like you being near Jimin.









He says he doesn't laugh except for interesting things.









" ..Interest..? "









"Right, I heard you like me..."












Thanks to that, only annoying memories come flooding back vividly. Juyeon snickers as she tears apart the sofa with a creaking sound, then slowly approaches Heeyeon. Feeling she can't take it anymore, Heeyeon glances at the door once, runs straight to it, and opens it. It was quieter outside than expected, and the door was wide open, making it easy to open and close. Heeyeon tries to escape, thinking this is her chance, but her opponent is an evil succubus—a being no human could handle. Within seconds of stepping out, she is caught and pinned underneath.












"How annoying... You're thinking of running away? I was totally scared!"












Fit-!












"The blood is so clear... It's delicious..."












Juyeon scratched the face with her long, sharp claws and licked up the blood. Cruelly, in this dangerous situation, the very first person Heeyeon thought of was Jimin. Annoyingly, the name she had just blurted out was also Jimin.












It's annoying... I'm telling you, it's annoying...









He started it all himself...









Why only me... only me..!!












Tears gradually well up in the corners of my eyes and then flow.












"Oh my, did I just make her cry? Her expression is something to behold."









"Rather than making you an evil god"









I'm just going to kill you.












※※※












Yoongi and Jimin searched all over the Demon Realm, but nothing came up. Then, one person suddenly came to mind.













I'm going to turn him into an evil god.












"Min Yoon-gi, find Lee Joo-yeon right now"









" okay "












Crunch-..

Just you wait until something goes wrong... I'll kill you all.

with a plop-!












Juyeon filled a round, glass-bead-like container with water and put Heeyeon inside. Just how much blood had she drunk, for there were wounds and teeth marks all over her body? The blood gradually spread and mixed in the water. Juyeon, watching Heeyeon writhing in agony unable to breathe as if it were amusing, seemed like a psychopath.












My breath...












Realizing that I couldn't climb back up no matter how much I thrashed about, I clutched my neck with both hands to let them know I was suffocating. Even seeing that, Juyeon giggled as if finding it amusing. As my mind grew hazy and the strength drained from my body, I began to sink. Juyeon laughed so hard that she even bent her back in laughter, as if she were delighted.












"You idiot... I know... why are you hanging around next to me?"












Heeyeon waited for someone while placing her hand on the hard glass.












' ..Please save me.. '

mister..












Juyeon was about to leave the room, but was startled by the door opening with a loud noise and stepped back, only to smile broadly upon seeing that it was Jimin.












"Oppa, you're late?"












Upon hearing those words, I spotted Heeyeon trapped in the water behind me, and my eyes widened. I immediately pushed Juyeon aside and pulled Heeyeon out. However, I couldn't tell yet whether she had fainted or was dead; I could only tell that she wasn't breathing. There were wounds on her body and face, and blood was still flowing. I gripped her shoulders tightly, bowed my head low, and handed Heeyeon over to Yoongi.












Bang!












"Ugh-!!"

I told you not to mess with me.












He radiated an aura of immense anger and this time gripped his hand as if he wanted to kill, but Juyeon laughed stifledly as if finding it amusing.












"It ended up like this because you rejected me first."









" what? "









If only my brother hadn't refused like that...









You didn't die like this to me, did you?












The person who had tried to kill Heeyeon seemed even more arrogant, and it was Jimin who was flustered. The person turned the tables, claiming that if Jimin hadn't refused like that, they wouldn't have come down to the Demon Realm and wouldn't have died. Once again, the strength drained from Jimin's hand, and she pulled it away.












"Do you understand? It's practically the same as you killing him."









This is what happened because you stabbed a dagger into my heart like that.









It's all your fault, oppa.
