Hoseok was stuck at home. His cold only worsened and this time his boyfriend wasn't there to care for him.

Not only was the boy constantly puking but he even started to hallucinate. Things looked a lot brighter and sometimes little clouds of white smoke would appear near him.

He stared at himself in the mirror and noticed an engraved wing on the side of his neck, just below his ear. "What?"

Below his other ear was a small horn, he pressed a finger against it only to get burnt. He squealed.

Taehyung ran upstairs barging into the bathroom, "Hyung are you okay?"

Hoseok looked over, "Tae, could this be why I'm getting sick?" He asked showing the male his marks.

Taehyung stopped chewing his food and swallowed, "what the hell are those?"

The elder shrugged, "I'm not too sure but whatever it is, I swear it's making me sick."

The younger rubbed the back of his neck with a frown, "hyung maybe its just like in the movies."

Hoseok scoffed, "Tae this is serious."

Taehyung shook his head, "no seriously look." He pulled out his phone and began tapping away. He pulled up a scene from a music video.

Hoseok watched as a man began to turn into a devil. He cringed at the popping sound the video made as wings sprawled from the mans back.

The brunette then looked at his friend, "despite this being just a music video and with everything that's been happening already.." he trailed off.

Hoseok bit the inside of his cheek, "so you think I'm turning?"

Taehyung nodded, "kinda, I mean haven't you been marked by both of them?"

Jimin, Jungkook, and Namjoon stood outside the entrance of what used to be Yoongis territory.

The eldest gripped his scythe with unbearable strength. His knuckles turned white and his teeth felt like blades.

Jungkook placed an arm on Namjoons shoulder, "Hyung, you need to calm down."

Jimin took a deep breath in, catching a small glimpse of a nearby demon. "I'm gonna go towards the back of the building, if they catch my scent we'll get caught."

Namjoon nodded clearing his throat, "stay close to Jimin." Before the younger could complain, the reaper had already been consumed by darkness.

The angel held a long blade that was personally crafted by god himself. It was made from his own blood and consisted of holy water.

Jungkook slid through a window that had been broken from Namjoons earlier escape. To their surprise the demons hadn't patched it up.

Jimin followed alongside him with careful steps. "Where did Namjoon want us to meet him?"

The younger turned the corner and pointed towards a large door down the old corridor. "There."

A large black door barely stood on its hinges, with broken chains attached to the knob. Anyone could tell from afar that it was old.

Jungkook inched closer to the door placing a hand on the rusty knob. Holding his fingers up, he looked at the angel before the two barged in.

Jin hastily paced around the living room, picking at his nails. "Yoongi-ah I'm getting anxious."

Yoongi watched silently bouncing his leg, "well hyung you're starting to make me nervous with all that moving around."

The elder took in a few deep breaths before taking a seat next to the younger, "sorry..I just don't want anything bad to happen to Joon." he took a glance at Yoongi, "or any of them." he mumbled .

Yoongi looked down at his hands, they were littered in small cuts and bruises. "Hyung- do you think this is all my fault?" he asked.

Jin shook his head, "I know we aren't exactly the closest of friends but I wouldn't blame you for someone else's mistakes." Yoongi furrowed his brows, "wha-"

The angel cut him off and began to speak again, "If anything you're not to blame, that horrible woman is. It's her fault, putting you through something you shouldn't have to bear alone."

Yoongi rubbed his eyes, "I've grown weak-" He choked holding back a sob, "I can't even help when it involves me or even reassure them that I didn't mean to leave". The male broke down in tears, his chest hurt and his legs felt limp.

Jin rubbed the others back, "none of that's true Yoongi, you just need some time to recover."

The shorter stood up with a huff, "yeah how long, it's been months! I pushed the only people I loved away and now I can't even consider myself a damn demon."

Jin held his tongue, the elder wanted to say some things but maybe that would be a little to harsh for the other right now. "Yoongi-ah you need to understand that even though we make mistakes, if we mean well then we'll be forgiven."

Yoongi looked up with red eyes and swollen cheeks, he chuckled softly. "For a second there it sounded like you were reading me a verse from the Bible or something."

Jin lowered his gaze and rolled his eyes, "Listen here you, I am a well educated angel the least you could do is put some respect in my name."

Yoongi looked down, "So this is what it's liked to be scolded by another angel."

The elder scoffed, "I remember why I didn't like you."
