I Want Your Energy

Nodding in agreement, Mina just smiled awkwardly as the security guard waved his hands goodbye. Mina thought deeply about what the security guard told him. If that was why the company had stayed rich, and no matter what scandal they faced, their stocks did not even drop, it actually made sense.

That would connect why she saw Kim Jeho as an incubus, to be specific, a lust demon who feeds on sexual energies. Hm. His crimson pupils, his huge pair of wings, and their mansion. As far as she could remember, the mansion was big with different rooms.

And it did not seem modern at all. It looked gothic, and it seemed like the interior designer of the mansion was a minimalist and liked black and white the most. It was relatively creepy as well.

As Mina chose to ride the elevator and go to the chairman's son's office, she saw Soojin coming out of the room. She raised her eyebrows and did not expect to see her. Soojin wore her casual skinny denim jeans and a white short-sleeved top, pairing it with open high heels.

"Mina, you're here?" That was the greeting Soojin did to her. She tucked her hair behind her ear and approached her with a smile. "How come you are still here?"

"You are here as well," Mina responded, fighting the urge to roll her eyes in front of Soojin. She remembered how she should at least maintain a good relationship with her. "Just kidding, though."

Soojin playfully tapped her right arm and said, "You are still sarcastic as ever."

Mina playfully laughed and tapped Soojin's left arm as well. "You should have expected that from me."

"I know," Soojin just smiled but could not drop the topic. "Honestly, is there any reason why you are still here? It's almost midnight. What are you going to do to the office of the CEO's son?"

'It is not of your concern, Kang Soojin,' Mina did an internal monologue instead since she did not want to sound more annoying than she already was.

"Maybe I will go there with the same purpose as you had earlier?" Mina innocently shared as she pursed her lips with a smile plastered on her face.

Kang Soojin rounded her eyes and looked surprised. Why did she have to be so surprised? What did she actually do in Kim Jeho's office?

Something fishy?

Perhaps, they did something not work-related?

Mina observed Soojin organizing her facial expression as she battered her lashes. Soojin's reaction made it more suspicious. As Mina glanced at the office door of Kim Jeho, she could not help but feel annoyed just by the thought of it.

"I-I s-see," Soojin stuttered as she avoided eye contact with Soojin. The more she was feeling more nervous and anxious, the more Mina found it even weirder. She had known Soojin for a long time, and she has never acted like this until---

Until she was threatened, did Kim Jeho threaten her for something? The number one question would be, how did she manage to enter the company without any backer? Perhaps, Soojin got special admission to the agency as she did.

Behold the special admission.

It sure is a little bit weird.

But it was stated in their contract that they would only have a sexual relationship, and having any relationship with other people is prohibited. Maybe this Kim Jeho was being a jerk and was indulging himself with many women at a time?

Does he have the guts to do that?

"Do you know Jeho sunbae personally to be visiting him late his hour?" Mina asked.

She could only hear the silence. There was some unknown tension between the two of them that she could not describe. The hallway was quiet, but Mina did not even feel weirded out at all.

After seeing the lust demon in front of her, she realized that she did not need to feel scared at all. She had gone through a lot, and seeing it does not even faze her at all. The only thing she felt frightened of was people.

She started not caring about angels, demons, or whatever they were. Supernatural beings like goblins, mermaids, vampires, werewolves, gumiho co-exist in this world. The only thing that she believed in was how important it is to do good to others. A person can do anything he or she wanted, and it can be good or bad. Spread the love if you're going to and spread hate if you wanted to.

Mina knew that they were not really even in a great relationship where they could call each other's boyfriends or girlfriends in real life. But there was an etiquette. It was definitely stated in their contract.

"It is getting late," Soojin told Mina as she glanced over her phone. She held the rim of her bag and said. "I am going first, Mina. Take care, okay?"

"Yes, thank you Soojin," Mina answered with a weak smile. "Bye to you as well and take care."

Watching Soojin's back closely, it did not seem like they were in THAT kind of a relationship with Kim Jeho, right?

Even though he is a sex addict and only feeds on women's sexual energies, he still keeps his promises, right? He would still definitely a decent man among trashy men, right?

Hong Mina could not take it any longer. She felt the need to go inside the room and find out. She had waited for so long for this annoying meeting to start. She did not even bother knocking on the door, but she just held the doorknob, twisted it, and opened the door.

It seemed like a baby lion had entered the tiger's den with its claws in full display; if she managed to see that Kim Jeho half-naked, then it's definitely a win for her. She could terminate her contract with him and stay at the company for the damages. She would be free from his grasp but still have the company on her back.

Great, isn't it?

She won't feel any disappointment. If any, she would be happy.

But she did not see Kim Jeho naked; instead, she saw him on his sofa, lying peacefully like a cat. As she approached him with delicate footsteps, she noticed how weak Jeho looked. His lips were parched and seemed like they were dehydrated. He was in a broken state. He was wearing his suit in chaos, with several buttons opened up and his necktie loosened altogether.

"Hong Mina, I want your energy."

Energy?

By that, does he mean?

Sex?
