jaemin helped the crying demon change into more comfortable clothes for the night.

the sun had set completely during their talk about the 'life diving board'.

now the night was colder and scarier.

but jaemin didn't care much. he needed to reassure donghyuck.

the boy had been crying ever since he told jaemin about his loss.

"nana..."

jaemin turned around at the voice that had called him.

he smiled, before approaching the sad demon.

"yes donghyuck?"

"come here..."

the demon patted his lap, asking jaemin to come and have a sit there.

the human listened to his demon, straddling the male to face him while sitting on his lap.

jaemin used his thumbs to wipe the demon's tears away.

"stop crying, donghyuck..." jaemin whispered. "i'm here to help you..."

"i didn't want her to leave me..." donghyuck sighed.

"i didn't want them to leave me either..."

"it seems like they always do..."

"what?"

"leave..." donghyuck mumbled. "the ones you love are always the first ones to leave..."

jaemin rested his forehead on donghyuck's shoulders, letting tears fall from his eyes in silence.

donghyuck was crying too, because jaemin could feel droplets of water falling onto his nape.

they both cried in silence for a while.

jaemin thinking about his parents.

donghyuck thinking about his sisters.

they both had lost their families way too early.

they both had lost the ones they loved in an unfortunate way.

but they couldn't do anything about it now...

it was too late.

"nana..." donghyuck called.

"yeah...?"

"i don't want to lose you..."

jaemin sighed.

he didn't want to lose donghyuck either.

actually, he couldn't imagine a world without donghyuck.

he recalled their arguments days ago.

he recalled living without donghyuck.

he recalled feeling miserable...

and now that he was sure he had feelings for the demon, he couldn't even imagine what life would be without him by his side...

"i don't want to lose you either..." jaemin replied, tightening his embrace on donghyuck's body.

"i'm so scared..." donghyuck mumbled. "as i said, the ones you love are always the first to leave... and i love you so much..."

more tears fell from jaemin's eyes.

donghyuck had confessed.

it wasn't the first time actually. jaemin knew that the demon had feelings for him.
