~29~

I have the ending planned. Oh, I'm very excited. I'm going to be sad to see this end, but I think the ending I have planned will perhaps have the opportunity for a sequel/one shot spin off.

The Saja Boys spin around on stage, perfect and dazzling. Bright smiles and smooth moves are what keep them professional. It's what masks the demons that they truly are. 

You glance out into the audience, seeing several faces go slack. Something wispy and blue comes out of their mouths, flying up and towards the demons. Their souls leave their bodies, but no one can see it. None of the humans, at least.  

Their bodies will find a place to die on their own, Mystery had told you. Once a body loses its soul, it loses life. It's technically still living, but that isn't the same. 

The body withers away if the soul isn't returned in time. And the time depends on the person. 

You clap along with everyone else as it ends. The crowd cheers and you paste on a smile as Romance leads the rush off stage to be with you. 

But there's staff watching, so you shoot them all a sharp look. Abs is panting, and he takes a towel from a staff member with a murmur of thanks. You hand out water bottles which are chugged down in less than a minute. 

"Was it good?" Romance asks, pushing his hair out of his face as Mystery leaves. "Did you like it?"  

"Yes, it was great," you warmly tell him. He beams at the praise as you turn to address Jinu. "That hiking video I posed went viral, by the way. It was very popular." 

Jinu hums and screws the lid back onto his water bottle, since he drank the entire thing without the mouthpiece. He must've been pretty thirsty. "That's good." 

Baby swipes on his phone before holding it out for you to see. "Wanna watch this anime with me? I've heard that it's good. It might be something  to do together." 

You study the picture on screen for a moment. It looks normal enough, so you nod. "Sure. Maybe not tonight since I have stuff to do, but soon." 

Mystery returns with a man behind him. The man is on the shorter side, with light brown hair that reaches his eyebrows and plump cheeks. 

"This is one of our new hires," Mystery says, waving a hand to the man. "This is Ji-woo. Or, uh, Si-woo I should say. My apologies." 

You smile softly and introduce yourself to the young man. He looks shy and uncertain. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Si-woo. What's your role?" 

"Si-woo is here to help with your medical issue." Mystery clears his throat pointedly. "Your fainting issues. Si-woo will donate blood since you often need transfusions, and going through the hospital service is a lot of work." 

Si-woo inclines his head. "And to gain experience on the side. It's hard to start a career without it, especially with a name that's different than the one on your ID." 

"Oh, that sounds like a lovely arrangement then." You consider it, really liking the idea. You felt bad about deceiving a human and taking their blood for reasons other than what you told them. But if Si-woo is also gaining something from the exchange, it eases your guilt slightly. 

Jinu offers a polite smile, cocking his head to the side. "If there's ever any issues with any of the other staff members, let me know. For any reason at all." 

You're glad Jinu's age isn't a negative factor here. Yes, he doesn't work well with technology, and yes, he's pathetic with modern day trends, but he's accepting. He doesn't hold any prejudice or show disgust towards people like Si-woo.
