28.

Han Yoojin groaned into his pillow. It was an extremely fluffy and soft pillow that he took from his old house because nothing beats nostalgia and melancholy when trying to sleep in a completely empty house in which he had lived for the last ten years.

'Why,' he asked into his pillow instead of calling the Dokkaebi again to question why the hell they did whatever they did. First, they acquired Peace, then Peace's social media account and now their own social media account. 'What is next? My own social media account?'

That's exactly what will happen. However, the more important thing than that was the mayhem the Dokkaebi caused by officially announcing worldwide that they were the boss of Mirific Monstrosities. He didn't even want to imagine how many people were trying to locate the Dokkaebi's whereabouts simultaneously.

Peace quietly whined at him as if asking why the pillow was used as a coping tool. "Keuheung.."

Thinking about other things, he wondered how Yoo Myeongwoo was doing. After moving into his apartment and getting plenty of rest, the man succeeded in his quest to sharpen ten thousand tools and was now spending his free time in his pocket forge. Han Yoojin would have labeled Yoo Myeongwoo as a workaholic with how much time the man spent in there now that they didn't have a video to work on anymore if the man didn't come out a few times in the day by making breakfast, lunch and dinner. Peace, Yoo Myeongwoo and he ate together, sometimes even the Dokkaebi dropping by to steal dishes if the food caught their fancy and talked about this and that.

It was.. nice. Everything seemed calm.

"Kyang!" Peace growled and he felt the Magic Beast nudge the pillow to the side, their C-Class strength easily overwhelming his hold on the pillow. The poor pillow landed on the floor with a plop. Peace let out the equivalent to a victorious shout, "Keureu!"

Now pillowless and having nothing to hide his face with, Han Yoojin grabbed the next best replacement: Peace. Luckily, he didn't have an allergy and Peace's fur was freshly brushed in the morning, so the feeling of his skin on the fur was quite pleasant and warm. Peace seemed to like the new situation, because they started to purr like crazy.

'Can I hide from the world here?' he mused and let the constant, soft sound of Peace wash over his frazzled insides.

If he stayed like this, not even the memory of the cold visage of his younger brother on the TV could faze him. But lately, his brother seemed to look more stressed the times he appeared. Han Yoojin always felt like a vast wall separated them from each other when he dared to watch, but now there seemed to be a change in Han Yoohyun's normally frigid eyes. Not.. quite a positive change. They reminded him of a sort of quiet desperation he remembered in the first years his brother left him.

He wondered what caused his brother to look like that. He had a hunch. He sincerely hoped it didn't correlate with an old, stolen cell phone that became untraceable a couple of days ago because of the Dokkaebi.

..Han Yoojin had never been good with denial.

He raised his face from the purring Peace and instead lifted his discarded new cell phone. Minutes ago, the Dokkaebi chose to show themselves to the world and the reaction had been predictably bad. He even got goosebumps reading through the interactions of the Hunters, though that may have happened because he turned Fear Resistance off.
