Devil Child's

Chapter 6's

"You mean, can't everyone see your wings?"

"That's how, only a certain human could see it," Sung Ha became interested in this conversation and returned to sitting on the sofa earlier.

"Where is the human child?"

The blue flame that was originally just like a stain was enlarged and enveloped the wings on Jovian's back. Those eyes grew sharp on the floor before him, his memories twisting again as he looked at the events he did not want to see.

"The boy was killed. He was killed right in front of my eyes. I know it was my father who told the demon army to kill him. The child has no sins. It's all my fault."

Somehow Sung Ha's heart ached hearing Jovian's story. He can capture the anger, sadness, and hatred of the look on Jovian's face.

"Then why don't you go back to your world?"

"I can't do it yet. I promised myself I wouldn't come back until I got stronger and could get my dad out." Jovian looked towards Sung Ha.

"You can see the blue fire that enveloped my wings right? Not all demons have it. Each demon had their own fire and it was the color that differentiated the demon that was born from which race. The black flames belonged to the demon army that was usually on guard. The red color belongs to the common demon. And so on.."

"Why are you telling me that?"

"Because you can help me defeat my father."

"I-i?" Sung Ha pointed to himself. "Why me? I don't even know anything about the world. How can I help you?"

"Because you're not human."

Jovian looked at Sung Ha with certainty. Sung Ha fell silent, then shook his head in disbelief.

"I am a human! I was born to both of my parents! And I've been living in this world since I was born!"

The girl strongly denied Jovian. How could the man suddenly say that Sung Ha is not human. Is he crazy?

"As far as you ma−"

"I want to go home now! Get me out of this house!" cut off Sung Ha, and get up from his seat.

"Open the door behind you. You'll be able to get out. But you won't be able to get in here unless I open it. And don't tell anyone ten−"

Jovian stopped his words when he saw Sung Ha who had already gone towards the exit. Jovian sighed and hid his wings again.

"You don't even know who you really are."

Sung Ha sat in front of the mirror while combing his hair that was still half wet from the water.

"Well! What does it mean I'm not human. He's crazy!"

Sung Ha still dislikes it when Jovian says that he is not human. On what basis could Jovian conclude such a thing?

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Sung Ha's bedroom door rang, a sign that someone was knocking on him.

"Yes, mother" Sung Ha immediately finished combing her hair and went to the dining room.

At the dinner table there was his father and mother who were ready to eat food on the table. After dinner ended somehow Sung Ha wanted to ask his mother something. A stupid question that somehow flashed through his mind just like that.

"Mom, I'm father and mother's son, right?"

The middle-aged woman who was drinking her water immediately choked upon hearing the ridiculous question from her son. Sung Ha immediately approached his mother out of fear of something bad happening.

"Mom's okay?" ask Sung Ha to make sure.

"Sung Ha, it's obvious you're a father and mother's son. Why are you asking me that." Sung Ha's father answers now.

"That's it.. Sung Ha, if you're done eating, do your job and get some sleep. Don't sleep late."

Seeing his improved mother Sung Ha decides to immediately go back to the room and do his schoolwork.

"Why did he suddenly ask like that."

Sung Ha's father was still wondering why suddenly the only child could ask such a ridiculous thing.

"My wife, does she know?" ask the father about his wife.

"Sung Ha is our only child and will remain our child forever. Although she wasn't born from my womb, but I've taken care of her from the baby and I love her so much."

Sung Ha closed his mouth holding back the tears that suddenly came out from both corners of his eyes. After dinner was over and wanting to return to his room he broke his intentions and hid behind a wall near the dining table. Sung Ha wiped his tears and ran into his room. He closed the door slowly so that his parents would not hear him. The girl lay on her stomach and covered her head with a pillow, trying to calm herself down. I hope what he heard was wrong.

***

Today Sung Ha chose to sit on an empty bench to the right of Jovian. He wanted to ask this man something. Hana who saw her friend, was amazed why Sung Ha still wanted to be close to Jovian.

Unlike usual today Jovian more often read books than listening to music through the earphones.

"Why are you sitting there?" ask Jovian who is still focusing on his book.

"There's something I want to ask you. It's about me." Jovian glanced at Sung Ha for a moment and refocused on his book.

"Speak."

Sung Ha looked at his classmates who were in the classroom. Pretty much. And there's no way Sung Ha would talk at length if there were still a lot of people in his class.

"S-now?"

"Hemm.." answered Jovian briefly.

"It's personal, so I can't talk about it here."

"Well go home from school I'll wait for you near the school gate."
