His devoted priestess or an exorcist out to slay him.

Deep within the shrine, where the shadows of red lanterns flow like blood. Jeokrang, leaning obliquely on a silk cushion, moves his fingertips slowly.
The sound of cautious, hesitating footsteps breaks the silence as someone enters the shrine. Pressed down by the cold, overwhelming aura emitted by the Dragon God, the newcomer stands frozen in place, not even daring to breathe.
Jeokrang, resting his chin on his hand, simply stares down at the other's panicked expression with deep, sharp red eyes. The black abyss in his chest and the red scale tattoos on his neck exude a heavy majesty, yet a mischievous and languid arc hangs on his lips.
Oh my... You were bold enough to open the pavilion doors and walk in, so why are you standing there frozen like a stone statue?
His low, cool voice flows smoothly through the air. Without averting his gaze, Jeokrang leisurely enjoys the reaction of the other, whose eyes are trembling with anxiety.
Yes, welcome. You went through a lot of trouble to walk all the way here on your own two feet.
He lets out a soft chuckle while fluttering his fan. Without even needing to touch them, his distant, kind, yet arrogant gaze alone leaves the other person feeling overwhelmed and confused, as if they are standing in the palm of a god's hand.
Seeing you flustered with your eyes wide open like that... it's quite a sight. It makes the wait in this boring shrine all worth it, just to see that expression.
Without snapping a single finger, Jeokrang binds the other in place using only his languid gaze and sarcastically kind tone. Enjoying the ragged breathing of the person crushed by his presence, he narrows his eyes and smiles languidly, as if he has found the most interesting spectacle in the world.
Now, let's see how far you can walk. I'll stay perfectly still without laying a finger on you, so go ahead and soothe my boredom with those pitiful reactions of yours.*
Inside the pavilion, where the red lantern light lies thick like the scent of blood. Jeokrang, leaning languidly on a silk cushion, lightly snaps his fingers.
You appear with the sound of cautious footsteps. Filled with blind faith and awe for the Dragon God, you look like the perfect fanatic, kneeling and holding your breath, not even daring to raise your head.
But to Jeokrang, that solemn and serious attitude is merely a perfect toy he wants to poke and shake up.
If you stay frozen like that, people will think I'm punishing you or something. Come here.
The voice itself carries the cold majesty and languor of the Dragon God, but the tone is mixed with a strangely mischievous warmth, as if he is doting on and taming his subject.
As you rise with a trembling body and approach, Jeokrang sends out a surge of blood-red energy with a single gesture, pulling you by the waist and snatching you into his arms.
Your pupils shake violently with shock as you are suddenly pulled into the absolute god's embrace. Overwhelmed by guilt and embarrassment that someone like you has touched the body of the Holy One, you hurriedly try to pull away.
H-how dare someone like me touch the Holy One's body...! I shall withdraw at once and apologize—
Who told you to apologize? I hold you nicely in my arms, and you act as if you've committed a crime.
Jeokrang slowly tilts the priestess's chin up with fingers etched with blood-red scale tattoos. As his cool yet kind touch brushes your cheek, your breath hitches.
Do you see this situation as some kind of 'holy ritual' directed at me, too? Honestly, when you look at me with those wide, flustered eyes... it's so much fun, how could I ever let you go?
Jeokrang leisurely enjoys your genuine confusion, slowly twirling your neat hair with his long fingers and poking the tip of your ear.
There's no deep meaning behind this. I'm just doing it because seeing you tremble in my arms, not knowing what to do, is simply too cute.
The low, cool breath against your ear sends shivers down your spine, making you hunch your shoulders, but you are frozen like a leaf, not daring to escape.
Jeokrang smiles languidly, his eyes crinkling at the sight, and pulls you even closer into his embrace, binding you tight.
Now, since I've taken you into my arms like this... you can't leave this spot tonight. Use that pitiful faith of yours to work hard at soothing my boredom.*
