Drained and Tiired

Hong Mina woke up feeling drained--- she never felt this way before.

It was as if her whole energy was taken away from her. Just opening her eyes was already a workout itself. Her lids became so heavy that it was as if it lifted a ten-pound dumbbell for each eye.

She forced her eyes to open, and the ceiling was the first thing she saw, and then Kim Jeho's face. Shocked to see his prominent red eyes and horns, Mina screamed.

Jeho, who was now wearing his casual white sweatshirt, bent down and covered Mina's mouth, "You are already back in your apartment, Hong Mina. Do you want your own neighbors to knock and threaten you to shut up?"

As if on cue, Mina immediately stopped screaming. That was definitely the last thing she would want. Her name will all over the internet, and its title would be, 'Rising Actress Hong has no respect with her neighbors, screaming at dawn is her hobby!'

Now, that would be the worst way to get your name out there, isn't it?

When Jeho noticed Mina stopped screaming like a madman, he immediately let go of her. Mina abruptly sat up, but she could almost hear silent cracks on her bones and the tearing of her muscle fibers when she did that. It was so painful that she almost dropped her upper body.

Jeho was quick to support her upper body by holding both of her shoulders, "Do not move all of a sudden. You still need to replenish your energy."

"What did you do to me?" Mina's head bumped on Jeho's chest, and as she moved her head to looked at him straight in the eye, she could see his crimson-coloured eye shining brightly. "Why am I so tired?"

'You already knew I am an incubus and that I remain to be one by feeding on your sexual energy." Jeho commented as he patted her back lightly. "You might have overexerted yourself yesterday."

Was he being caring for her when he was the one who caused all of this? He was the one who gave the sickness, and he will give the medicine as well?

This absurd.

Mina chose to raise her arms and slapped Jeho's firm chest with her palms. She was relatively weak, so her strength did not do her justice to any of her frustrations. It was like a young little girl threw a tantrum because her mom wouldn't buy a piece of candy.

Jeho held both of her wrists to stop her from doing it.

"You are wasting your energy, I told you to rest, Hong Mina," Jeho's left hand went to Mina's back and supported her to lie down. "Take a rest. You will have shooting later that starts at one in the afternoon."

Mina almost forgot the pain and tiredness she felt when Jeho, her temporary manager, reminded her of her schedule for that day. She had to film the first scenes of her drama later! Mina had no time to waste! She had to prepare!

Sensing that Mina would actually sit up again, Jeho stopped this and put his right palm on Mina's forehead to stop her from moving.

"It's still six in the morning, you should take a rest,"

Mina stared at the ceiling. For some reason, the ceiling seemed familiar. Even the position where the lights were were familiar. She wandered her eyes to the corners and sides of the room. The flat-screen TV and even the small kitchen at a distance seemed like she was in her apartment.

Slightly turning her head, Mina found Jeho; his incubus self was now turned into human Kim Jeho. His eyes were now black-brown instead of the crimson eyes she saw. The small horns that popped on his head and the pair of wings he had on his back were nowhere to be found.

"Why are we already here in my apartment?" Mina asked. She promised herself not to get angry and let her emotions control her, not because she was scared but because she had no fucking energy to do so. "I remembered the two of us in a room at your eery house."

Jeho was silent and did not talk for a minute. Mina used this time to think. She remembered the two of them doing the act for the sake of the contract.

Holy shit---

She was naked that time!

As Mina could not lift her arms, her gaze lowered to her chest.

She already had clothes on, wearing an oversized t-shirt and pants. It did not seem like it was hers, and most importantly, she did not remember wearing them. Who on Earth made her wear the clothes she was wearing now she did not even remember doing it?

"A caretaker made you wear my clothes since it was easier that way," Jeho explained as he put his hands on his pocket. "Don't worry. They are new and you do not really have to be shy. I already saw every part of your body yesterday."

"I am not being shy, okay?" Mina retorted back. Even though she promised not to let any feelings dictate her, she did not manage to do so. "I'm no virgin. Things like that do not bother me one bit." She trailed off, trying to change the topic. "Then, how did you manage to get inside my apartment?"

"Do you forget who I am?" Jeho's deep voice became serious. "Hong Mina, you do know that I can easily obtain things like this. I know the owner of the building here."

Well, it made sense. Kim Jeho must have ridden his car and opened the door of Mina's apartment to bring her back. What a gentleman?

It was a first!

And Mina certainly did not expect this.

Was the world going to end already?

"But why did you have to take me home," Mina curiously asked as she slightly moved and turned her whole body so that he could look at Jeho. "You could have just left me there and leave there, right?"

"Why should I?"

"As revenge?" Mina guessed, to which Jeho just laughed.

"I don't do petty things like that, Hong Mina. You should know better." Jeho explained. "You already know my true identity as an incubus and I still need to feed on you so that I could retain my power and life force as an incubus. You deserve the best treatment from me."

"I never thought you were such a caring lust demon," Mina remarked and rolled her eyes.

"Of course," Jeho crouched over, leaning over, and kissed Mina's forehead. " As I always said, I will torture you with pleasure as revenge, so you might have to suffer more."
