The pegasus yawned loudly.
“This lord, how about ending the situation at this point? Hurry up and deal with him as you please. It was already deep in the night. Thanks to you, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an entertaining spectacle, so in return, I’ll take you back to where I came from.”
The pegasus typically went to bed when the moon rose. Jaegyeom, who had been silent, fiddled with the bow in his hand.
“… Yes.”
Red spiritual energy rolled around like waves. It was easy to stop Yoon Taehee’s breath as long as his spiritual energy was still running out of control. In addition, he couldn’t stay conscious for much longer, so if there was a good opportunity, it would be good to take it. Thereafter, the spiritual energy became even more ferocious.
“M- My lord…”
Mesani was nervous and restless.
Jaegyeom slowly backed away. A terrible pain like death was not shocking. He had been through it a lot himself, so it was no significant deal. Jaegyeom took a few steps back from Yoon Taehee and stopped.
The pegasus asked calmly.
“Are you thinking of killing him?”
“Yeah. I will.”
Jaegyeom took a deep breath and raised the bow in his hand. He took an arrow and pulled the bowstring. It was in optimal range, and at the end of the arrow was Yoon Taehee. ‘Believe in what you see’, he thought to himself. Yoon Taehee was an exorcist, he had to focus only on proven facts. He was a manipulator and scumbag. Yoon Taehee lied to him and threatened him.
‘A terrible pain like death.’
Finally, an arrow wrapped in red spiritual energy flew out.
The arrow was driven in with an eerie sound. The pegasus, who had its eyes on the direction the arrow flew, turned its head after a while and stared at Jaegyeom. With an expressionless face, Jaegyeom inserted the bow into the elongated cut on his arm.
“…”
“…”

Mesani, who had been frozen in a daze, came to his senses belatedly and hurriedly ran to him. The decision was made; everything was over. Mesani spread his palms, intending to heal him. This time, unlike before, Jaegyeom did not pull away from his touch, and instead, quietly closed his eyes while receiving the beams of light from Mesani.

“Rb, P vbc’a xcbk.”
“Ktf jggbk wlrrfv.”
“…”
Jaegyeom, who had been silent, replied insincerely.
“A mistake.”
With that, Jaegyeom moved, staggering. As his runaway grew longer, he felt the energy draining from his body. Mesani, who had started to heal him, made a strange noise and stumbled and followed after his back.
Jaegyeom stopped in front of Yoon Taehee. Then he reached out and tugged at the hem of Yoon Taehee’s tie. Yoon Taehee, who had been silently suffering the pain without even having time to dodge the arrows, was dragged helplessly. He slowly opened his half-closed eyes and their gazes locked.
“And, I don’t make mistakes twice.”
“…”
Jaegyeom murmured softly. It was a scene he had seen many times. Of course, the roles were reversed. Meanwhile, Yoon Taehee still was conscious enough to understand the boy’s words. His eyes were clear and calm even in the midst of blackening pain.
“Next time, here.”
“…”
Jaegyeom snapped his fingers and hit Yoon Taehee right in the middle of the forehead. Even though it was a light touch, his head throbbed. A thin smile escaped Yoon Taehee’s lips. As soon as Jaegyeom let go of his tie without regret, he collapsed instantly.
Jaegyeom shook his hand and took a step or two back. His steps staggered as if he was about to collapse. Mesani, who clung to Jaegyeom’s waist and poured out a bunch of lights without hesitation, wept.
“M- My lord! Are you okay?”
Jaegyeom stretched out on his back.
“I’m dizzy from losing so much blood.”
The black night sky poured down into his flickering vision. A full moon had risen before anyone knew it. As promised by the deal, he had to fall asleep the moment he saw the moon, but he was not sleepy, probably because the pegasus was still awake. However, for some reason, his eyelids kept getting heavy.
Yap, tap! Yap! Yap, yap!
A beast’s cry came from beyond the darkness. Mesani was stunned and looked back.
“Me, My lord! Behind there… !”
A fox the size of a bull jumped out of the grass. The mysterious silver-haired fox lightly kicked off the ground and soared through the air. It seemed to do some feats several times in a row, but then soon changed into a human form and landed on the ground. It was a familiar face.
“Jeongju!”
“Mesan-ah! Jaegyeom!”
Jeongju hurriedly rushed to them with panicked steps. As soon as he received Mesani’s phone call, he set off immediately, but he arrived late. Then of all times, he was caught by reporters camped out in front of the building.
He tried to contact Jaegyeom by calling the house several times, but it was all in vain. He managed to shake the reporters off and get into the car, but they caught up with him, and he had to drive in circles to somehow evade the reporters.
Eventually, he had enough and abandoned the car and ran. He was able to quickly hide himself in the hills and run along the mountain range. As a testament to the journey of struggle, Jeongju appeared to be in a mess. He looked around.
The scene in the dark was terrifying. A few humans were lying on the floor like corpses, and the smell of blood lingered. Whole trees had been snapped off, and arrows were strewn about like a battlefield. Mesani was the only one who seemed unharmed.
“Jaegyeom-ah… !”
Jeongju saw Jaegyeom lying on the ground covered in blood and immediately sank to the ground. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Red spiritual energy covered Jaegyeom’s whole body. He didn’t have to ask what was going on, he had a rough idea.
“Sorry. I was too late. It’s all because of me. If I had come a little sooner, if I had been by your side, none of this would have happened…”
Jeongju crawled to his knees and approached Jaegyeom. His trembling hand touched the other’s bloodstained cheek. On the other hand, Jaegyeom, who was lying on his back in the bright moonlight, looked up at the night sky as the other absentmindedly blurted out an apology mixed with tears.
“We’ll talk later. Now,”
Jaegyeom said as he stretched out his hand into the air.
“I want to go home.”
It was an unspoken signal to get him up. Jeongju wiped away his tears and looked at Mesani. Mesani nodded, crying. Jeongju jumped up from his seat and grabbed Jaegyeom’s bloody hand. Then, the pegasus, which had been floating in the air all this time, came down to the ground with light steps as if it had been waiting for them. It bent its forelegs to make it easier to mount. Jeongju’s eyes widened, belatedly noticing the pegasus.
“Pegasus? Don’t tell me… You bought a nightmare… ?”
The pegasus hastily replied.
“On the way here, yes, but on the way back, it’s free.”
Standing on his own two feet, Jaegyeom smiled helplessly. It usually pretended to be solemn and stern but it was funny to see him stuttering and arguing because it seemed like useless sparks would fly. He wasn’t in the mood to laugh, but it was strangely funny… Jaegyeom, while thinking so, collapsed forward at that moment. Jeongju hurriedly caught him.
“My lord?”
“Jaegyeom!”
Jaegyeom jerked his chin slowly.
“If it’s free, take him…”
Jeongju, Mesani, and the pegasus’s gazes were led in the direction Jaegyeom pointed. A dark gray suited man lying unconscious leaning against a tree. Mesani’s eyes widened and looked back at Jaegyeom.
Jeongju asked.
“Who is that person?”
Jaegyeom closed his eyes and replied slowly.
“… My school librarian.”
After saying that, he passed out.
