After the brief conversation with Marcellus, Michael the Archangel looks up at the statue of the Lord in the center of the altar, recalling Marcellus' earlier statement, "I will do whatever it takes to make her accept me and not repeat what happened in the past."

Michael can't get Marcellus' words out of his head. He can tell he was desperate and determined by the expression he gave him when he looked at him directly in his bright blue eyes earlier. The expression he didn't expect to see from him.

“I had no idea this day would come, that he would be desperate to break free from the curse,” he thought to himself.

“You look like you're deep in thought, Michael?” a voice behind him said.

He looked behind him and saw Gabriel, then turned away and stood up straight, tilting his head and sighing heavily.

“It's the first time I've seen him so desperate and determined. When I locked eyes on him earlier, I couldn't see a single lie in his dark red eyes; his emotions are very genuine,” he said. “That's why I wondered, why the sudden change?" He inquired.

Gabriel only needed to look at him to realize that Michael, like him, was perplexed. When he saw Marcellus earlier, he was full of regrets for what he had done to the boy the night before, and when he told him that he messed up again, Michael would just smirk, but this was the first time he saw him act like that. Full of self-disappointment, hatred, and regret.

While pondering this, he lowered his head and gazes down at the floor, sighing heavily. When he raises his head to look at Michael... Michael is already staring at him, “This is just my guess...” he closes his eyes and locks his gaze on Michael, “...but I think that boy he was preying on is the reincarnation of his lover.”

When Gabriel says these words, Michael's eyes twitch and he has a brief glimpse of what may happen in the near future.

He averted his gaze from Gabriel, sighed deeply, and said, "I wish he wouldn't know, or else it will be a disaster." He looks up at the church's transparent ceiling.

Gabriel, on the other hand, is well aware of who Michael is. Because it is that creature's fault that the Lord cursed Marcellus to become the New Demon of Lust.

On that night somewhere in South Korea…

He smirks as he stands inside his office with someone giving him a head, sensing its power. He grabs the young man's hair who is giving him a head in order to remove its mouth from his cock.

“Did you feel it?” he asks, looking him in the eyes. “His lover is truly reincarnated in this era,” he grinned even more.

The young man just looks him in the eyes and smirks, sliding its lips onto his bulging cock and licking it, he sighs heavily and looks out the glass window of his office at the city's buildings.

He returns his gaze to the young man and caresses his cheek, saying, "Right! This time, I will devour him...” he smirked wickedly, “...and after I devour him, I will kill him again as I did before.”

The next day, Felix found himself on the bathroom floor, slowly trying to stand up, when he felt a sharp pain in his left eye. Bringing his left hand to his left eye, gritting his teeth and trembling in fear, he experienced the same sensation he had when he was 18 years old.

He huffs heavily and when he looks in the cabinet's bathroom mirror, his left eye's iris turns red, and you can see a hazy rose figure on his eyes.

“No!” he said, touching his left eye. “It can't happen again!!!"

He walked out of the bathroom, into his room, and grabbed his phone from the nightstand, calling Leo and telling him what had happened the night before and the night before that. Leo told him that he would come to his apartment; after the call, he plopped on the ground in a sitting position and rested his head on the bed, closing his eyes; he wonders why his eyes are changing into a rose again; he doesn't understand why.

Standing up, he walks back to the bathroom and takes a shower to relax. He then opens the cabinet's bathroom mirror, looking for his contact lenses. It's a good thing he buys contact lenses every year, because of what happened to him two years ago and they last a year. He opened the case of contact lenses and placed them on his eyes, then placed the case beside the faucet. He looked in the mirror again, and it did not appear that he was wearing contact lenses.

Then he heard someone open his front door and saw Leo when he came out of the bathroom. When Leo noticed him lifting a paper bag, he asked, "Did you eat your breakfast?"

“No, not yet!” he smiled.

“I'll wait for you here at the dinette, so get dressed. I'm going to tell you something.”

He responds with a nod before going to his room to get dressed. He was dressed in dark blue jeans with a white t-shirt and a navy blue jacket.

Leo notices him as he walks out to his room and picks up the piece of paper that was posted on the refrigerator.

“The demon has written you a love letter.” He motioned with his hand, waving the paper.

Felix arches his brow and asks, "What did he say?" He walks over to Leo and sits in the chair next to him.

“He said there was a salad inside the refrigerator that you could eat, and the Caesar dressing is on the refrigerator door shelf.”

“Ah! The food he made for me the night before he left.”

Leo tilted his head in confusion when he noticed Felix was dazed. Then he snaps his fingers, causing Felix to return to his senses.

“What's the matter with you being dazed? Is there anything bothering you?” he said worriedly

Felix smiled at him and said, "Nothing bothers me. I just think –“ and then a memory of last night's event flashes through his mind.

The event from last that he leaned on at his warm hand and he looks at him slowly until they met their eyes and said to him “Oh! Your hand is so warm, Professor Michael.”

He blushes and slams his head on the table when he realizes what he said to him the last time. Leo was shocked by what he did, but Felix is still blushing.

They eat their breakfast and the food Michael prepared for him, which he brought with him; it will be his lunch for today.

As they drove to their university in Leo's car, Leo explained to Felix that they were going to the church where the priest that Liam was talking about the other day, and Felix simply nodded and leaned his head out the window. Leo looks at him, worried, and wondering what Felix is thinking right now, before returning his attention to the road.

As they arrived at their university, they parted ways. Felix went to his professors in every subject he attends to inform them and explain why he was absent yesterday, but he was surprised that his professors were aware of his absence.

He asked one of his professors how they knew, and they said Michael informed them yesterday that he had become ill unexpectedly. Michael also told them that he called him and told him that he couldn't go to school because he had a slight fever.

He was walking towards his locker when he remembered what Michael had told him. “So when he said he will assist me in all of my subjects that I missed yesterday, what he meant was that I am excused from all of my subjects, and thankfully we don't have quizzes, just some assignments.”

Then someone grabs his shoulder, and instead of being startled, he grabs the person's hand and slams him against the locker, pinning its arms behind its back.

The person groans in pain and said “Felix, it’s me Leo.” and Felix was taken aback by his actions.

 * * * * *

After what happened earlier, Leo is still upset with Felix, despite the fact that he has already apologized to him. They are now on their way to the church, where the priest was staying while he was in South Korea.

Felix, Leo, and Liam are the only people who have come to church to speak with the priest who Liam mentioned last time. Because May is working on a project with her group members.

When they arrived, there was most likely a man waiting for them in front of the Church entrance. He had a foreign face, golden-brown hair that was neatly combed and was dressed in a plain white long sleeve polo shirt, matching with black slacks, and dark brown wingtip shoes.

They park the car on the side of the church and walk towards the church's entrance, where they see the man.

“It's been a while, Father Marcellus...” Liam greeted him.

Father Marcellus gave him a friendly smile. “It's been a while, Liam; how are you and your family?”

“They're great, and I already miss them.”

“That's good to hear.” Then Father Marcellus arched his brow and looked behind him. When Liam notices it, he turns around to see Felix and Leo still arguing about what happened earlier.

“I told you I didn't mean it, and I apologize,” Felix stated.

“No, you mean it, you know I always grab your shoulder, but what did you do, slam me at the locker and now look at my cheeks...” He pointed to his swollen check, saying “... it’s swollen and bruised”.

They continue to argue, and Liam, on the other hand, is embarrassed in front of them; he returns his gaze to Father Marcellus, who is smiling at the two.

“Oh, Father!” Father Marcellus looks at him and says, "... I apologize to the two of them; this is the first time they have argued like this. They are good students, hehehe,” he says, scratching the back of his neck.

Father Marcellus smiled at Liam and said, "Its fine, you kids are always full of energy. Anyway, hmm, you two there come now, aren't you here to talk about something with me?” he asks.

Felix and Leo look at the priest, and when they realize the priest is watching their argument, they become embarrassed and apologize to the priest. They look to Liam, who shakes his head at them, and they slump even more into embarrassment.

Father Marcellus addressed them as they entered the church. “So, as Liam told me over the phone the other day, there is a demon in your university?” he asked, looking at them.

Felix felt the priest's eyes on him and a heavy air around them. He looked to Leo and Liam to his left, who appeared normal, and thought to himself, "Do they not feel it?"

“Yes, he was Felix's professor in one of his subjects, and he also harassed him and told him he was the demon of lust.” He regained his composure when he heard Leo tell the priest this.

When he looks back at the priest, he has a shocked expression that quickly changes to a worried expression.

“Hm, then, this is a serious case; did the demon mark you?” When he asks, Felix gives him a puzzled look, and the priest says to him, "Ah, sorry! As you can see, demons mark their prey to follow them wherever they go.” He goes on to explain.

Felix thinks deeply, “I don't think so, he didn't leave a mark on me.”

Father Marcellus nods in response, and before taking a step forward to bring them to the mezzanine, he overhears Felix say something that shocks him, and he looks at him again.

“Pardon again, my child, can you please repeat what you've said again?”

Before Felix speaks again, he looks at Leo and gives him a nod, while Liam on the other hand is confused.

“My eyes started changing into rose two years ago, but they vanished after a month. We've already asked fortune-tellers and priests why my left eye turned into a rose, but no one knows why, and this is the first time it's happened again.” He removed his contact lenses from his left eye and looked directly at Father Marcellus as he said these words.

When Father Marcellus saw his eyes, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and told himself, "As the Lord said, the demon will meet his lover again in the future, and one of its eyes will be drawn to a rose that she adores."

"It appears that what Gabriel told me came true; I didn't expect this; I expected his lover to be the same as before, but to think that the Lord reincarnated his lover into man is very surprising."
