A/N: stream Ring The Alarm

-

Jihoon punches the air in victory as soon as he enters his home.

He did it! He did it!

He got to touch Jeonghan and almost kiss him and he dropped very heavy hints and he talked to him and all it took was a tier one demon threatening to take him away and that sounds so bad now that he thinks about it, but he did it!

Jihoon lets out a ecstatic, borderline hysteric, laugh.

He did it and now he'll be damned if Jiwoo takes Jeonghan away from him.

He calls Soonyoung with renewed determination.

"Jihoon, what's up?" It's Hansol who answers the call. He sounds distracted and Jihoon can hear the clattering of dishes.

It's now or never.

"Okay, so - there's a demon living in my neighborhood and she's trying to eat the guy I'm into. Please help me."

"Now, that's a whole fucking lot. It's a joke, right?" Hansol asks, humor in his voice, but when Jihoon doesn't reply, his voice goes high pitched, "Jihoon, what?"

"If you can't take it, put Soonyoung on."

"If I can't - if I can't take it? What the fuck, it's a demon, Jihoon!"

"Demon? Did you say demon?" He hears Soonyoung say in the background, "Again? How did he manage to piss off a demon this time? What did you do, Jihoon?"

"Put Soonyoung on! It's not the first time he's helped me with a demon!"

"Is this not alarming to you either? Babe, it's a demon! How are you guys not worried?" Hansol all but screeches.

"Because Soonyoung is badass and my best friend and he helps me out all the time! I know he can help me this time too."

"Aw, Jihoon." Soonyoung's voice is clear this time and Jihoon knows it's because he took the phone from Hansol, "You're so cute."

"Young!" Jihoon whines, "Young, please help me out! A demon is trying to ruin my chances with the guy I'm into!"

"Oh, word?" Soonyoung says, "I didn't know about this."

"Because I haven't had the time." Or the intention, Jihoon thinks guiltyly, "But I can catch you up when you come over?"

It's a question and he hopes Soonyoung isn't too busy to come over. Not that Soonyoung is ever too busy to come over when Jihoon asks him to. He always has time for Jihoon.

"Of course. What do I need to bring over?"

Now, this... this is the tricky part.

"Oh. Hm. Just bring the... theblueone." Jihoon rushes out, "And bring Hansol."

It's silent before Soonyoung takes in a deep breath, "Jihoon we will talk about why you didn't tell me you had a tier one demon in your neighborhood the moment you knew. I'll be over in a few."

Soonyoung hangs up and Jihoon feels a bit of regret.

He's in so much trouble.

Jiwoo slams open the door to her home.

The walls shake and shudder, jars and decorations on shelves titter dangerously. The whole house groans as she stands in the doorway before she slams the door closed.

Matthew looks up at her from the couch, trying not to grimace at the expression on Jiwoo's face. Her eyes glow gold, her skin cracking and revealing pulsating golden light, her sharp teeth bared. Jiwoo feels the tingle of Matthew's borrowed magic settle over their home when her eyes land on the tv and fake laughter rings in her ears.
