Chapter 24: Resting time and flashback pt.2

When Jin woke back up from the qi training, his body was filled with many different types of qi. Eleven different types of qi including his own. Usually, different qi would ruin a persons’ body. But these qi all existed in harmony.

The most interesting part of the qi is how Jin was able to utilize them separately. His eyes and hair even changed different colors depending on which one he wanted to use. He could not use all of them at once because his body started to throb in pain when he did. So his limit was using one type of qi separately. But he also founded out that the qi he uses also influences his mood and mentality somewhat.

When he recalled his memories as Belphegor, indeed some parts were filled in. There were no longer blanks. But that were only some of the memories that he was allowed to retain. When he tried to remember past ten years old, he couldn’t remember anymore. ‘What the? Why can’t I recall it!? Why are my memories incomplete!?’

‘Lucian!’ Jin called inside his mind. But there were no response. Jin wanted to know what these different qi was. It was because it did not belong to his own qi that he wanted to know. But most of all, he wanted to know why his memories are incomplete. ‘Ban! Ren!’ He continues to call out. But there were still no responses. ‘Strange… Are they sleeping?’ he thought. What they were really doing was taking care of the heavenly beings and those that are after Jin’s life. Too many were after his life so they couldn’t watch over him every single second of the day.

Since Jin already was used to the blue cold qi, he stayed blue haired. The blue qi was the most abundant among the others. It also kept him calm and collected in many situations.

‘… This isn’t the time to worry. I still have to keep my promises’ Jin went back to Meracle’s house in the middle of the night to get his suitcases. He swiftly moves through to the front door of the house to get his own stuffs but his body was covered in snow.

‘Sh*… gotta wipe the snow away first’ he cursed and swept away the snow on his body. When he opened the door, it made an eerie long creak. ‘Gah! I hate this door!’

This was what woke Meracle up. A simple sound nearly blew his cover and Jin could hear that Meracle was coming out of the room. ‘Sh*!!!!!!!! Where can I hide?’ He knew that if he was discovered now, Meracle would blow holes in his head and would make him apologize. ‘Like hell I’ll let that happen! But I have to find where to hide… But where? Where can I hide?’

Jin’s frantic thinking led him to hide in one place. ‘The basement!!!!’ he thought. He only stayed on the upper floor because… He couldn’t move anymore. If he did, Meracle would find him in a heartbeat.

Meracle came down and indeed could feel Jin. But she didn’t know where Jin was. When she saw the rattling door, she betrayed her sixth sense. Once she was finished doing her business, she went back up to sleep.

Jin didn’t want Meracle to wake back up. So he waited for a good hour before going out of the basement. ‘*Sigh* nearly killed myself there.’ Jin was scared out of his mind. ‘But I wonder what is in the basement?’

So he flipped the light switch at the top of the steps that led down to the basement. When he came down, Jin saw stacks of cardboard boxes, multiple furnitures, and even tons of electronics were stored down in the basement.

Though, only half the basement was full, the other half had a surprisingly small metal box with a few locks on laying in the dark corner of the basement. Curiosity got the better of Jin as he walked right over to see what was inside. He found some thin metal wires laying around to be used as a lock pick.

*Clink*Click*Clink*Clink*

‘… Why am I so good at useless stuff like lock picking?... Well… time to see what is inside.’ Jin opens the box to see multiple tapes and photo books inside.

‘… Photos and tapes? I see. Old memories…’ Was Jin’s first thoughts. That was until he saw the labels on both the tapes and the photobooks. “*** tape #1… Amazing Bl*w #3…. Cre*mp… first time…”

‘Purely shocking. . . They recorded themselves doing it?’ Jin’s eye twitched. He’d never felt angrier. Especially on the tape that labeled “First time” Jin was thinking about throwing the box into an incinerator. ‘Forget it. I don’t have time to deal with these. Got more important things to do.’ So he left the basement to go up to get his own suitcases.

When he got back upstairs, the most unexpected person was their waiting for him. A woman with silver hair and shining amber eyes stood before him.

“Well Jin. You’ve got a lot of explaining to do” Mirana evilly grinned.

“… *sigh* Since you are the only one who knows a lot about me… I might as well ask you a lot of questions.” Jin sighed.

“Why did you leave? Why did you make a small problem so big?’ Mirana asked him.

“Simple. I have my own reasons” He answered flaccidly.

Mirana cocks her head at Jin’s attempt to avoid answering her. “Oh? Tell me those reasons. Can it be that important to make the girl you like cry?”

With a tired expression, Jin said, “I can’t tell you” 

Mirana crosses her arms and glared at him.

“Do you really want to know Mirana?” He whimpers.

“Why not? Is it bad for me to know?” Mirana was still trying to act cute.

“… If I do tell you, will you drop the cute act?” Jin didn’t like the cute act. No matter how he looked at it, it was still an act.

“… I was just being nice you know…” Mirana wanted to cry because she didn’t think Jin would dislike her being how she usually was.

“*Sigh* No matter. I’ll tell you it anyhow seeing that you can be trusted. Just don’t tell Meracle alright?” He sighed once more to prepare himself to tell Mirana the ‘truth’. “First off, Meracle is… stuck in one place so to say. She is still thinking about Jason. I think you can see that as well. I’m not sure my efforts to make her move forward is working. But I needed to do it quick. Why? I don’t want to be a punching bag and to be rejected forever you know. All my efforts would be useless if Meracle goes back with Jason after an ‘apology’ or some ridiculous reason like make up kiss.”

“Hmmm. So you want Meracle to move on faster while seeing you as a potential lover?” Mirana felt broken hearted because she was not even in his eyes.

“… Not potential lover per say… But at least help her move on to another and better dude.” Jin scratches his head. “Truthfully, I don’t know why I like Meracle so much. Just do. So I just wanted to help her move on as fast as I can before leaving. As I’ve said before, I can’t dream of having a lover. Too… sweet for my taste. But I have a feeling that I owe her a lot more than I think. So I am putting in efforts.”

This was not an answer Mirana expected. “Hm? That’s right. You have a job now. You even showed that you can already support yourself…”

“Yep… Now, I have more reasons to leave as well. My line of work… Just really is a pain. I am only afraid that Meracle might be burdened with the fact of having me live here. My life is a little more complicated than anyone might think” Jin emphasizes complicated for many reasons.

Mirana raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms. “Hmmm. Now that is an interesting thought Jin. Why are you sharing so many secrets? If I’d recalled correctly Jin, you were always the meek type. Especially in school. You would usually look reserved and scared. But looking at you now, you are not exuding the air of a weak person. More like one of those cool guys I see often.”

“Heh… I forgot. You were in my school and my high school crush. I’d originally gave up on you since you’ve never looked my way once. Didn’t think you would pay attention to me so much.” Jin lightly laughed. He truly didn’t think anyone would pay attention to him being weak in school that much.

Hearing this, it made Mirana’s chest tighten a little. “Eh? Did I hear you right Jin? I thought you love Meracle to death.”

Jin shrugged and shook his head from side to side. “Sadly, I no longer hold an interest in love. If you are asking why I was acting so close to her, it is because I wanted her to be open about herself a little more. She used to wear a wig you know. So I accomplished at least twenty percent of things”

“… You’re lying.” Mirana pouted her lips.

“Hm? How so? Why do you think I am lying? Which part?” He began to ask. He acted confident but inside he was really scared. He really did lie to her.

The corner of Mirana’s mouth curved upward seeing Jin’s reaction.

“Actually… you’ve lied only twice haven’t you?”

“!!! . . .” Jin shifted his head and eyes away.

Mirana evilly smirked. ‘*Heh* Got you Jin. When you try to act too cool, you show that you are lying. Too bad. You can fool people with that act a few times. But you can’t fool them all the time Jin.’

Seeing that he was cornered, Jin made a gesture to show that he gave in. “Which parts?”

“Heh… Almost all of what you’d said was fishy Jin. When you said that, ‘I no longer hold an interest in love’ that was the first lie. An obvious one at that. We all could see how hard you were trying to seduce Meracle and opened more paths for Meracle to choose. What you wanted was another chance at love which could be seen a mile away. But most of all, you wanted Meracle to be the one to choose you on her own free will.” Mirana explains. She then leans in forward and gave a mischievous look. “The second part that gave you away was… *hum* *hum* *hum* Not telling ^.^”

“. . . I see… *Tch* Aww I wanted to play cool guy for a while. Seems like it won’t work on you huh?” Jin finally admitted. “I’m not a cool guy. But I seriously can’t allow Meracle to know. -.-; I really do have my reasons” Jin walked right into the hallway and was about to enter the living room.

“You are an underworld ruler right? I’ve heard it many times. So you don’t need to hide it from me Bel-phe-gor- heh heh” Mirana innocently said. “Don’t think people’ve forgotten you.”

This got Jin to pause and turn back around.

“!!! How? What!? How!?” Jin’s jaws dropped. “I’ve never said that I was an underworld ruler!”

“. . .  You may not know it. But. . .  I too have acquaintances in the underworld and black markets too you know.” Mirana said to him.

“. . . Hmm now that is interesting. You are unexpectedly dangerous. No wonder Meracle was kept safe. Seems like I underestimated a lot of things about you. Didn’t think I would be found out in the most unpredictable way…” Jin really didn’t think Mirana would know about him.

Seeing that Jin was being honest now, Mirana too started to tell the truth.

“Ah… Jin… At first, I wasn’t sure that you were really Belphegor. But… you showed yourself a little too much when you took off your mask after getting out of Mammon’s place. Next time, be more careful. Luckily it was only me who saw it.”

Jin’s head started to ache. ‘… Damn. I really thought I went to a place far enough away from prying eyes. Seems like I need to be more careful from now on…’

“Now Jin. I don’t have to keep things a secret you know. . .” Mirana was still being mischievous.

“What do you want. . .” Jin lazily asked.

“Payment. In any shape and form. As long as I deem that it is fine.” Mirana began to blackmail Jin.

“. . . Can I pay money?” Was Jin’s first answer.

“Denied.” She rejected the answer.

“. . . Any materialistic objects? Maybe a private jet?” Was Jin’s second answer.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“Nope!” Mirana denied that one as well.

“Ngh…..Then what do you want?” he groaned.

Mirana thought for a while until a thought hits her on the head. “Maybe… your first time?”

“*Pfft* WHAT!?” It was a great shock to him.

“Oh please Jin. That was a joke of course.” Mirana scoffs. “But I’m still a virgin as well…” she later mutters.

“. . . Wish half granted” Jin angrily said. ‘She asked for it.’

Jin used his acupuncture techniques to stop Mirana from moving all together and laid her down on the floor. He got on his knees and was over her while on all fours.

“!!! What are you doing!?” She wanted to scream.

“Since you’ve known my underworld identity, I might as well show you how I work in the underworld right?” An evil look flashed across Jin’s face.

“*Che!* You think kissing will work on me this time? Dream on Jin! This time, it won’t work!” Mirana tried to fight back. She was scared of the other side Jin was about to show.

“Ha ha ha ha… I’ll say it one time Mirana. When I work, I’m no longer Jin. My name is Belphegor.” Jin laughed. “Since you are so insistent that it won’t work. Then I’ll do something a little different.”

“I-I was only joking!!! Wait!!!!!!!!!!!” Mirana wasn’t even allow to finish her words. “MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!”

“Shhhh you’re mine now. So just stay like that” He evilly whispers. Jin lifts her chin and laid his lips onto her lips. Despite how Jin sounded, he did not viciously kissed her like a wild animal. He took his time finding the right ways to make her feel good. He would often caress her hair, ears, and neck and sometimes other parts of her body to loosen her up. Mirana was still resisting him but it did not affect him in the slightest. He’d only continued to make her feel good at both his and her own paces. He slowly synchronizes with her feeling each breaths and heartbeats.

While kissing, he unbuttons off Mirana’s shirt. Though it was tempting to squeeze and play with Mirana’s melons, he chose not to. In Jin’s mind, ‘to pleasure a woman, one must set her before himself.’ Thus, he was not going to ravage her like a horny gorilla. He needed to get Mirana to a certain level before entering the next step.

Kissing is alright. But Jin needed not to only pleasure Mirana’s mouth, but her entire body as a whole. His hands ran across Mirana’s body starting from the shoulders and massaging downward both arms. Mirana responded a little to that and relaxed. ‘… Such a little feedback… gonna move it up then. Rather, down in this case…’

No longer massaging her arms, he moved down her body and to her thighs. ‘Hmmm… Is the sweet spot here?’ Jin thought to himself as he rubbed Mirana’s lower region in a smooth circular motion. Mirana surprisingly responded well as her body was no longer as tense. Mirana even felt like she was slightly floating on air because he was feeling her body up a little too well.

‘So she is finally letting go… Alright. Time to kick it up a little’ He thought inwardly. ‘Kisses can get tiring because… well… abusing kissing is a bad thing… Why? …Lips have limits!’

So he moved away from her lips and gave her breaks every now and then to let her recover while making love to the other parts of her body. During each breaks, Mirana could feel the feelings well up with her to desire him more and more. ‘Dammit! How is it that he is able to do this? Just when things were getting to the peak, he makes me want more of him… It’s just unfair!’

Unlike those boyfriends she had in the past who just plainly kisses continuously or were just bad at kissing, Jin was unexpectedly skillful in pleasuring his partner. It was better than the french kiss she had even with the best of kissers and he was only doing normal kisses.

“Mmmmmm” Mirana moaned a little from time to time. When it got more noticeable and louder, a wicked smile grew on Jin’s face. Jin slyly inserted his tongue inside her mouth and let it swirl and dance inside violating the inner walls of Mirana’s mouth. By now, Mirana lost some parts of her ability to think and lets her body go loose and her instincts took over her body.

But he took that love to the next step as well. When it comes to love, both parties should be involved in pleasuring the other. Jin led Mirana on and on to follow his pace. He was no longer doing things slow and made Mirana subconsciously go faster and faster. Soon, it was Mirana who led Jin on.

“Mmmm. More! More! Moooooooore!!!!” She cried out.

‘… I can’t do this all night. Need to end this quick’ He thought.

He breaks away leaving Mirana a little exhausted but he was not going to let her rest this time. No. This time, he made sure to make Mirana go wild.

Jin pulls Mirana to sit on his laps as he got right behind her. Mirana did not notice it. But Jin already pulled off her brassiere and her entire upper torso no longer a secret to him. Using his right hand, he grabs one of her ample mammary and started to play with it while the other was circling around her other mammary’s areola and playing with the nub.

Only now did her heart began to beat faster, her body responded to his love involuntarily as she indulges in lust. There was an indescribable madness with her heart.

“J-Jin? What are you-” She was about to ask. “!!! Ahhhh---” She involuntarily lets out a cute moan. “Not there!” She tries to suppress her moans. But Jin’s hands were feeling up her body too well. His hands were already on her soft white mounds and playing with them. “N-No!!!! You’re going to make me!!!”

Mirana’s back arches when Jin gave the mammillas a gentle pinch and jets of white streams shot from the twin sources. “!!!! Nooooooo !!!! Mmmm!!!” She cries as tears rolls down her face. The floor became a little stained by her secreted whites.

Jin went back to lovingly french kissing Mirana to muffle her cries. If she did continue to cry, Jin was scared that someone would truly wake up and catch the two. Luckily, no one woke up.

Soon after Mirana was settled down, Jin sucked on the leaking nubs to clean up the mess.

The entire time, Jin did not use a single bit of cold qi. If he did, then it would not mean that it was by his efforts that he made her feel this way. It also damaged his pride in a bit if he did.

She was lost in the heat of passion and wanted it to continue all night. But Jin didn’t have that long.  ‘Time to finish her off. . . No way I’m going to give my first time like that easily. . . . . But I have to finish it now. Sorry Mirana.’

“A-aren’t you going to put it in?” She unconsciously asked. ‘!!! What did I just say!?’

“Sorry beautiful. But you’ll have to be satisfied with this.” He said to her and lightly bites into her neck, branding her with the cold qi. Once done, he finishes her with a couple of deep kisses and a small light kiss at the end. A sensation of coldness spread through-out her body and made her body froze like ice. But that cold feeling was soon replaced with an unimaginable heat of desires. It felt many times better than before. Better than when he tongued her, better than when he fondled her mammary glands and better than the kisses he gave. The small blue cross appeared right on her neck where he gave her the hickey. It made her reach her climax three times and the stains were obvious as well.

Once he was done, held Mirana in his arms for a good while. “We’ve both kissed before right? Last time, it was done a little sloppy. But I’ll show you how to do more than kissing. I’ll show you how to love” Jin said. He then got close to her to whisper in her ear, “It is because I loved you”

Once she heard this, Mirana fluttered inside her heart even though she knows that it is a lie. “Liar. You already got Meracle. . .”

“Heh. . . Then all I have to do is make you mine as well.” He said confidently. “I could see it in your eyes that you already fell for me for a long time right? I won’t impose myself on you. So I’ll let you decide.”

She turns her head away trying to keep her poker face on. “I don’t like cheaters or cowards. Right now, you’re both.”

“. . . A coward and a cheater huh? Funny. . . You’re right. I’m both. So I guess I can’t have you by.” Jin sadly accepted it. “Yet, you still fell for me back then. Why?”

“. . . It is because I know you. . .” Mirana couldn’t say the real reasons. What she knew about him was more than the other three would know. She’d investigated Jin’s background a long time ago when he was still in high school. Needless to say, she was Jin’s unknown stalker. Try as she might, she would never find much about him through normal means. ‘I can’t say that I stalked the guy through-out his junior year…’ her heart sank at the thought.

Mirana was completely mesmerized not only by Jin’s strength, she was infatuated by his courage and will. In her junior year, she saw many events that Jin may not remember. He’d made many things possible that caught Mirana’s heart. She’d even seen him at the football stadium, entering the sea of flames saving not only his mother, but his sister as well. In addition, she’d seen him breaking down the wall, jumping almost twenty feet down and carrying a person as well with only a seven feet minivan as a cushion all while hobbling away to the hospital.

“Oh? How much do you know Mirana? You may know that I am Belphegor. You may know some more secrets that I’ve yet to reveal to others. But how much of that makes up who I am? Even I no longer know.” Jin bitterly frowned. “I want you to stop finding more about me. I can’t stop you. But if you are going to continue, then I’m afraid that I can’t help you afterwards. . . I mean, once someone goes into the underworld, it is hard to get back out in one peace at all. I was just lucky. I don’t want to see you get into a bad situation.”

Mirana cuddled up to Jin, took his hands to wrap it around her, and stayed like that for a while to think about what he’d said. “I only entered the underworld for a few months. If that is what you want . . . then I will not pursue it any further…”  She had to admit, all this might just be the surface about him. Under all that strength and spirit, there may be something darker and scarier.

“. . . Thanks Mirana. Now I have to go.” He said as he releases the woman in his hand and stood back up.

“Where are you going Jin? Wait… Don’t tell me you are going back as Belphegor?” Mirana was truly worried for him.

“. . . I’m working a doctor now. I. . . was making a cure for a hereditary disease for a person and his family for a certain reason. Which is why I got paid so much…” He said to her. “The name Belphegor should be left dead after I am done.”

“Alright then Jin. Just don’t push it too far” Mirana felt relaxed after hearing that Jin was about to leave the name Belphegor behind.

“Mmhm. Just one thing. Gotta stash all my things in Meracle’s basement. Makes things more convincing” Jin nodded.

Mirana wanted to help out. But her legs didn’t have any strength inside of them. She also had to replace her clothes as well. But all she could do was watch Jin move his things to the basement. In a strange sense, it looked like he was having fun moving the things because he looked exactly how a childish cartoon character would move their things.

“Here” Jin said as he tosses some of his clothes for her to wear. He gave her a light peck on the cheek and soon left with his suitcases after he was done moving his stuffs. “Payment resolved. Take care of yourself now. Don’t go into the dark world anymore. I also hope you won’t continue to blackmail me either.”

Mirana took the clothes Jin tossed to her and sniffed it. ‘*sniff*sniff* Mmmm *haaaaaa* Still smells like him. Haa nghh’

When Mirana was able to regain her strength and mind, she wore the clothes Jin gave her. ‘Hm… Still smells a little here…’ She frowned and took out a perfume bottle to spray it all over the room to camouflage the smell. ‘There we go!’ she thought contently.

‘But did Jin really took all of his stuff down to the basement? . . . I’ll do it in his place.’ Mirana thought. When she went down to the basement, it was clearly a mess that Jin threw down. He was not being neat because he was in a rush.

That being said, she took all of Jin’s stuff to the basement and quickly packed it neatly before going back to sleep in Meracle’s room.
