Chapter 15
Smiles

Every sort of stinging pain, dreading fear came crushing down Hongjoong's small stature like an avalanche, his head spinning but trying his best to keep conscious as he dragged his feet fast towards the petrified body lying on the floor. "S-Sannie-" A choked sob parted his throat when he touched San's body. It was cold. Not only could he feel it but view it as well. His gaze could easily cry over the skin that was turning paler and paler compared to how much life it had originally in Hongjoong's book of memories.

Not a single movement from him, not a single eye flutter. Everything was still as if San was dead. "I see you found him, huh?" Right on the doorway stood the demon, his ponytail now hanging loose on his shoulders in beautiful straight locks. Hongjoong didn't give a glance to him though, he was desperately checking San up to look for any wrong otherthan his still body. Hongjoong moved his hands to cup San's face pulling him into his lap, a stream of tears pooling in his sockets.

"Sannie, wake up please..." Hongjoong continuously slapped his hands on San's cold cheeks to try to make any sort of slight change in his features to no avail. "He won't wake up so easily you know." Seonghwa mumbled, his bare feet easily crossing it's way over the glass shards with no effect to his skin. He crouched down staring so mockingly at the pale almost dead body. "What-" Hongjoong mumbled, his gaze still locked at San's face as a lone tear escaped his eye.

Hongjoong moved San closer to his body as he shut his eyes tight, another tear escaping and landing on San's pale cheek just under his eyelid. "-Did you do to him?" Hongjoong breathed heavily, the pain shooting through his body paining more than the glass stuck under his feet. Seonghwa didn't reply anything, instead he stretched his hand to make contact with San's cheek and wipe the salt droplet under his eye when Hongjoong snapped his head up dead fast.

His eyes were bloodshot, all red and puffy without even the escape of more than two droplets of tears. But what was more dangerous than what actually was roaming within Hongjoong's orbs and veins. It was pure hate, anger, disgust and what not. "I ASKED WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIM!!!??" At this point the anger in Hongjoong didn't bring any difference between who the human and who the demon was that for once it even startled Seonghwa but it was for just a mere seconds before a smirk grouped up his pale features.

"Nothing much, he is just giving me what is mine." He mumbled, batting his eyelashes while a hand came up to his dark locks, combing through them. Hongjoong's anger filled eyes creased in furrows while he stared at Seonghwa's face in disbelief. Just how could he do all this?! "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN WHAT'S YOURS?!" Hongjoong barked at the demon's face yet again, his anger filled brows showed everything clear.

The demon's scoff was all too angering for Hongjoong yet he didn't leave San's limp body while he tried his best to bring even a slight change in his features. Even if he wasn't awake, Hongjoong was relieved that he was breathing though it was slow. After a long while of crying and trying, Seonghwa could see Hongjoong's efforts dying out into what seemed defeat. But probably the demon was wrong at his assumptions. Hongjoong didn't accept his defeat. He accepted that to save San meant to stop Seonghwa.

"I will ask one last time-" Hongjoong mumbled, his voice hoarse from crying and weak from the internal pain going through his veins. His eyes weren't dry but the tears had stopped to descend since there wasn't any left for now probably. He continues "-what do you want?" He raises his head up, the glassiness of his iris's failing to give him a better vision but he can still see how Seonghwa's eyes softened as he came closer to him.

Hongjoong was tired, mentally and physically both, he didn't move at all just like last time when he wasn't sure of what to do. The cold yet slightly warm finger tips of the demon brushed Hongjoong's chin in a soft but good grasp as he pulled his head up to look in his eyes. Hongjoong was face to face with him, his hands still clutching onto San's dead weight while he breathed peacefully. Seonghwa didn't like this sight at all.

Neither the closeness between Hongjoong and San, nor the disheveled teary countenance of the shorter. "I hate those tears you know? You don't deserve those." His voices flows of in soft curls of deep velvety texture in Hongjoong's ears. "See? He gives you tears, but I can give you smiles." Seonghwa mumbled, rubbing his thumb on Hongjoong's chin softly, while Hongjoong stares in his eyes but honestly doesn't look into them. It's like his eyes are just falling on the object in front of him but not actually paying attention to it.

"You want to give me smiles-?" Hongjoong's voices cracks at the words in disbelief. Just how could someone be so obsessed? "Yes, I want to. You're too beautiful to deserve those tears you know?" Seonghwa leans closer to Hongjoong, his fingers now dancing just below his lips, ascending second by second just with the same pace Seonghwa leaned closer. Hongjoong just sat there, when he felt the demon's finger trace his lower lip softly and Seonghwa now mere inches apart from his face.

Just before Seonghwa could plant his lips on Hongjoong's though, Hongjoong spoke up, inching backwards slightly to clutch San's body closer to him. "Then let me stay with San. I can smile only with him and only him." Hongjoong declares, his eyes determined to not lose his ground at all, the drained tears leaving their marks as they started to dry up.

Seonghwa loses his temper on that statement. All the calmness on his handsome human features leaves immediately and he stands up, his eyes shut in anger. Hongjoong can see clearly how the anger that woke up within the demon through a single statement of his was acting upon him. The soft skin turning paler and paler, his neck transforming into a wall of gashes and cuts, his eyes and mouth split apart into dried blood cuts, and his eyes flamming with anger.

"YOU ARE MINE HONGJOONG! ONLY MINE!" A single roar of his words was enough to send the whole room as if on a storm. Hongjoong's damp locks flew and he can see Seonghwa's long hair dancing on his shoulder. San's breath seemed to hitch at just that moment, Hongjoong's eyes widening when he felt a tug at his open shirt his head falling down to examine San immediately. "Sannie! Wake up! Sannie look it's me! Hongjoong!" Hongjoong slapped San's face to gain any sort of attention from the conflicted features of San as if he were in a dark nightmare running for his life. San's grip was tight on Hongjoong but he wouldn't open his eyes.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM! STOP IT I SAID!" Hongjoong cried out in desperation, his eyes pleading slightly at this moment until he heard Seonghwa's roar. "1 WEEK!" Seonghwa stands there, his eyes full of anger still but scanning Hongjoong clearly. "I'M GIVING YOU 1 WEEK! TRY WHATEVER YOU CAN!" With a single roar, Hongjoong could feel a gust of wind blow through his face, strong enough to make him lose his balance and fall on his back but with San still save in his grasp until he blacked out.
