Taehyun stared at his steak, knife sawing rhythmically, while across the table, you sat—glasses glinting, hair bouncing with every question.

The realization hit him like a physical blow: Lucifer wasn’t in hell; he was sitting right there, charming his sister, while Taehyun burned with a forbidden, desperate hunger.
