The Way It Burns - BbangNyu

"No Kevin you can't, you have a life here. If there's no reason for you to leave, you should stay." Juyeon said, hoping the angel would just drop it. 

"I've been with you guys through this whole thing, there's no way I'm ducking out now." Kevin replied. He knew Juyeon would never approve, but he didn't need approval, his mind was set. Looking over to Chanhee, he felt relieved at the small smile, it spoke a thousand words. 

Of course Chanhee would prefer for Kevin to stay, but the angel was stubborn, and ultimately it was his choice to make. "We shouldn't fuss over this, we don't have time. If Kevin wants to come, let him." 

"I agree." Changmin butted in. "No offense, but I don't really trust you guys yet, I'd feel better if Chanhee had someone like Kevin to look out for him." 

"I second that." Sangyeon said, looking affectionately at Chanhee. It had been a while since he looked at him like that, it was somewhat fitting considering it was the last time they'd presumably be seeing each other. "Me, Changmin and Jacob will stay here, and keep you guys updated on what's going on." 

Chanhee nodded. He couldn't describe how thankful he was for Sangyeon, that even after all they had been through, he still wanted to help him. If only he could have stayed, maybe they could've been friends eventually. "Thank you, I'd really appreciate that."

"Take my phone." Changmin stated, ruining the sweet moment, by shoving his phone in Chanhee's face. "They'll probably hack yours, so take mine. This way we can message you without anyone knowing." 

"You cant give your phone away that easily, your parents will be so mad."

"Oh well, I'll let 50 year old me enjoy the halo." 

While the angels fiddled with Changmin's phone, discussing passwords, and switching off important things, like the location. Hyunjae's mind fluttered to his precious Jacob, who he'd be leaving in a matter of minutes. It was bitter sweet, and he almost wanted to pull a Kevin, demanding for the angel to come with them. Yet, for the same reason Juyeon was concerned, Hyunjae couldn't bring him along.

"I wasn't that bad in bed, was I?" Hyunjae joked, sounding more insecure than ever before. It was quiet, and soft, not the usual cocky tone of Hyunjae. "I've been feeling like you've been avoiding me for this week." 

A flush of pink spread across Jacobs cheeks, as he slowly shook his head. "No, it's not that...Changmin came to me, he saw you at that party downtown. Are you really a demon?" 

"Not exactly, only half." Hyunjae responded, realizing it was time to come clean. "I know I've lied to you, and I know I've broken your trust, but I love you Jacob, so much. From the minute I saw you, I knew you were the one. Every little thing about you is perfect to me, from your smile, to your adorable giggles, to the way you see the best in everyone. I never thought I'd fall this deep, but I have, and It sucks that I may never get to see you again. So please don't hate me, I-"

Hyunjae didn't get the opportunity to finish, as Jacob smashed their lips together. It was always comforting how perfect their lips fit together, almost as if they were designed specifically for kissing each other. Separating once again, the sweet rush of feelings lingered. Jacob smiled softly at Hyunjae, slightly biting his lip to stop himself from getting upset.

"It's okay, I love you too." The angel said, immediately pulling Hyunjae in for a hug.

"Well then, we should go." Juyeon announced. They had already hung around for way too long, it was getting more dangerous by the minute. 

Running up to Chanhee and Kevin, Changmin threw his arms over the two of them. "Stay safe, I'll miss you!" He yelped, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"We'll miss you too." Kevin replied. It was real now, he was actually running away. Pushing away his doubts, the angel wandered over to Juyeon, grasping the demons hand as they stood beside the door. 

Hyunjae gave about a thousand more kisses to Jacob before joining them, continuing to stare at the angel, just so he'd never forget what his love looked like. 

With a deep breath, Chanhee directed himself at Sangyeon. His ex boyfriend, ex fiance, ex friend, it had been a rough few months, but they'd been with each other their whole lives. None of that silly stuff mattered now, they both knew it shouldn't have ended like this.

"I'm sorry for everything, I hope you find the happiness you deserve." Chanhee stated.

Sangyeon didn't say anything, only walking over to the angel. He gently grabbed the boys face in his hands, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead. His hands stayed there for a moment, while they looked into each others eyes. 

A silent goodbye, so very intimate.

"What the fuck?" Younghoon muttered, watching the four creatures storm into his apartment. They were all still dressed for the wedding, which was utterly baffling, as the wedding was meant to be happening, right at this very moment.

"No time to explain." Juyeon responded, ushering Chanhee and Kevin towards the demons room. 

The two angels grabbed a bags worth of Younghoon's clothes, and the few clothes that belonged to Chanhee. There wasn't enough time to swing by all of their apartments, so what was here, would have to do.

Hyunjae rushed to the kitchen, throwing any non perishables into a bag of his own. Who knows how long they'd be on the run for, food was imperative.

While the boys were raiding Younghoon's apartment, Juyeon did actually explain what was going on. It was brief, but easy to understand. 

Once everyone was back together, the five of them headed down to Juyeon's car. The atmosphere was tense, obviously due to how afraid they all were to get caught. But the adrenaline pumping was enough to get them through, as Juyeon pulled out of Younghoon's car park, and drove straight for the highway.
