jaemin kicked some pebbles in the night as he was walking, his two hands stuffed into his jeans' pockets.

he felt lost and sick.

what had to happen actually happened.

the police found him.

he had been identified as NA, the serial killer.

he could remember the face of his classmates when his name was pronounced by the journalist and when his picture was shown.

he remembered their looks of disgust.

he remembered their frightened looks.

and most importantly, he remembered mina's confused face.

he knew perfectly that she didn't want to believe in that news.

she didn't want to think that the boy she had taken a liking for was actually the psychopathic killer that her father had been trying to look for.

but the facts were there.

jaemin was NA. and she couldn't do anything about it...

"jaemin!"

the human turned around when he heard his name being called, not expecting to get pulled violently in a bone-crusing hug.

"jaemin, i was so freaking worried..." donghyuck told, tightening his embrace to the point jaemin couldn't breathe. "i thought you had disappeared..."

"i was just... having a walk." the human replied.

donghyuck pulled out from the hug, cupping jaemin's cheeks with his palms and looking at the human in the eye.

"please, don't disappear again like that... i was so scared something happened to you..." donghyuck told.

"i'm sorry..." jaemin apologized.

"this place is dangerous for you, nana... you have to be careful..."

"what did you just call me?"

this answer wasn't supposed to sound mean, but the tone jamein used made donghyuck back up quickly.

"u-uh... sorry... it slipped." donghyuck told. "it won't happen aga- "

"no." jaemin cut him.

"huh?"

"call me that more."

in fact, jaemin's heart had skipped a bit at the nickname donghyuck had created for him.

it felt good not to be referred to as 'jaemin' or 'NA'.

it seemed like jaemin's life was limited to those two things.

his jaemin side, shy, reserved, hiding a big secret.

and his NA side, psychopathic, dangerous, and unpredictable.

but donghyuck made him feel different.

when he was with the demon, he didn't feel like 'jaemin'.
