"Since the killings have come to a stop, the government is planning on opening the city once again"

A small smile spread on Renjun's face when he heard the news. He was sitting beside his brother and dad who seemed to be pleased as well. Jumping up Mr. Huang did a celebratory dance earning a small chuckle from his wife.

Renjun looked towards his side to see the monsters smiling as well. Passing them a thumbs up he went back to watching the news earning a small questioning look from Lucas. He had been suspicious of the two and he was sure that he heard some rustles four nights back. When enquired Renjun brushed him off saying that he was overthinking.

A knock on the door snapped them out of their thoughts as Lucas went up to open the door. He was surprised to see a stranger standing in front of his house.

"Is this Mr. Huang's house?"

"Yes, this is. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Lee Taeyong. Pretty sure your tenants know me"

Lucas glanced at the siblings who seemed to be waiting for someone. They kept staring at him and back to the clock. Turning around he faced Taeyong.

"Please wait here. I'll go fetch them"

"Sure" the other grinned widely as Lucas went to get the two.

"Someone named Taeyong is here to see you both" he announced as the two dashed towards the door catching Lucas off guard.

He turned towards his brother who seemed to be looking anxiously at them. Sighing he went back to sit beside him.

Standing outside Taeyong eyed the two. He came to know that the two were living with the male who he came across some time back. Crossing his arms across his chest he waited for the two to say something.

"Aren't you going to come back?" He asked as the two looked at each other. They still haven't completed their mission.

"Hyung please give us some—"

"King will be disappointed in you both"

"Hyung you don't understand—"

"Give us one week" Haechan intervened as the older monster cocked his eyebrows.

"Are you sure about that? Will you be able to find him by then?"

"Yes"

Taeyong nodded his eyes fixated on the two.

"Very well then. Ill return next Friday. Make sure you are all set"

With that, he walked away leaving the two in front of the house. Haechan knew he made a reckless decision but there was no choice for him. It seemed like he was losing his hipe tho he didn't want to admit it outwardly.

"Why did you say that to him?"

"We still have a week right?"

"We wouldn't be—"

"We will. Or else well return like nothing happened" with that he went back leaving Jeno mad at the other. Did he seriously set out for something like this hearing his indecisive brother's words? He regrets approving Haechan on his decisions.

As soon as Haechan got inside he went upstairs without sparing a glance at the humans. Renjun knowing something was up decided to follow him.

"Where are you going?"

"Going to check on Haechan" without wasting another second Renjun dashed upstairs leaving a pissed-off lucas to himself. Since when did the tables turn?

"Hey" Renjun started as he entered the unlocked room, his eyes landing on Haechan spread out on the bed like a worn-out starfish. The male seemed tired and though it was the basic decency to leave him alone, Renjun decided to stick by.

"Hi" having heard a weak mumble Renjun went to sit beside the male, his expression mirroring the other.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Renjun himself didn't know he would be caring towards the monster laying in his bed. He was cold to the other from the start but when exactly did it start melting?

"I have to go..."

"Oh..." So that was the problem.

"A week from now...I've promised hyung that we will return after a week..."

"But what about him?" Renjun knew it wasn't his place to ask further but curiosity got the best of him.

"I don't know...maybe I should give up?"

No, you shouldn't, Renjun wanted to say but he kept his mouth shut.

"What do you think?" Turning on his back Haechan now faced the human who seemed to be lost in his thoughts. Shaking his head he loomed at the hunger.

"Do you want me to say?"

"Yes"

"Well...I would ask you to not give up...love is love after all. No matter what they do and no matter the way they treat us."

"Seems like you have experience beforehand" quirking his brows Haechan scanned the older's face, picking up the tension his question created.

"Let's not talk about that. Anyways what have you decided?" He asked diverting the topic as the monster tapped his chin.

"I got to find him as soon as possible."

"Do you perhaps want my help?"

"I would be really glad if you're willing to"

"Well, then it's settled. I'll help you"

"First...I need you to help me find that place"

"Place?"

"Yes, within this weekend so it'll be easier for us to find him"

"That seems smart. We can start our investigation from there"

Smiling renjun got up heading towards the door. Turning back he pointed to his room.

"I'll be in my room. If you want any help feel free to come inside" with that he left the room leaving Haechan alone. The monster's head smashed into the pillow as he groans a bit, contemplating whether or not he should face Jeno. He was pretty sure that the older was mad.

"Idiot, why did you have to at that? You know you want him" grabbing a fistful of hair in his hands the monster howled into the pillow earning a slap from someone.

"Then why the hell did you say that to hyung fool! You don't want to go back to hell without him right then why the—"

"I don't know okay?"

"Cmon you just can't give up like that" shaking Haechan's arms Jeno faced him.

"Don't you dare give up! If you do then I'll be the one to behead you before they could touch you"

Haechan flinched a bit

"Fine...I won't..."

"You better not"
