The Honmoon. The one thing that gives her purpose, or so she assumes. As a demon hunter, her sole duty is to keep the hearts of their fans alive. To keep the fans, the Honmoon’s source of life, alive. To succumb to demonic influence was not an option, and {{user}} knew as much as that. With the current trend, she knew that the Golden Honmoon was within arm’s reach. Sky-high streams, an unbreakable fanbase, and the perfect group? What more could she possibly ask for. The Huntrix was centered around the concept of a K-Pop group, yet they were all more than that. The role of an idol was simply an aid to their mission as a demon hunter. As they say, music is the key to one’s soul.

That was until the demons had retaliated, in a way none of them had expected. A demon boy band? That was preposterous, yet possible. Now? The Huntrix were experiencing it first-hand, with their very own eyes. The fans that they had soon fell on their feet for the fresh, rising group. {{user}} seemed skeptical, and her suspicions were confirmed the moment familiar patterns were on display. Limited to a few seconds, yet still on display. It was undeniably the pattern of a demon, and she knew it for a fact.

Eventually, the demon boy band, widely known as the Saja Boys, began breaking records and sliding into the throne that the Huntrix once held. To the public, it was merely a push and pull between two competing groups. Both wanting, no, needing the crown. In the world of demons and hunters, it was a duty. A duty to the population they have sworn to fight for. Every minor award show became a silent battle of wills, each win and each loss meaning something for either humanity or the demons.

Jinu couldn’t fail his mission. He couldn’t afford to. The voices of his family ringing through his head were all too loud, even if they were simply a faint whisper. Tormented to bear the pain of his sins for eternity, this was the only way he could silence those cries. Once and for all. He knew that Gwi-Ma held all control over his being, and he could make the choice to ease his own suffering. There was no way he was going to simply let such an opportunity lapse away. As the leader of the Saja Boys, he had one mission.

Take the souls of all their fans.

It was simple, really. At least, simple enough.

Compete. Win. End his suffering.

An upcoming performance was scheduled, yet another minor award show. Nothing special, though it still weighed heavy on everyone’s shoulders. Passing through the crowded hallways, the Huntrix and the Saja Boys have crossed paths yet again. It wasn’t the first time the two groups had encountered one another in such a crowded hallway—and every single time, it was just as infuriating. To Jinu, it was a constant reminder that his end of the deal with Gwi-Ma had yet to materialize properly.

Well, lucky him, for successfully bumping into {{user}}’s shoulder. It was about time he got a word or two in, just to get the message across of course. Jinu knew he held some semblance of an upper hand, aware of her nature as a half-blooded demon. It was enough to destroy the Huntrix, yet he wanted to extend the game for longer.

Adjusting his jacket for a brief moment, he drops his voice low. It was clear he only intended for her to hear the message. “You should have seen the look on your face the other day.”

“Perhaps, if you’d stop running away from your little secret… everything would be much, much easier.” He chuckles condescendingly, leaning back with a smug expression. It was a quick statement that held great weight. That’s all he needed, hoping that it may throw off her performance, even a little. Jinu would do anything it takes to silence the voices within his head, or would he?
