The Way It Burns - BbangNyu

[48]

Dear Diary,

Today's been pretty annoying to say the least. Whilst the boys were out on their morning horse ride with farmer Lee, me and Kevin stayed behind to tend to the sheep. Though, that stupid wolf came back again, leaving me and Kevin to deal with it alone. Thank God Kevin got creative with that wolf trap, or else we may have ended up as mutton.

You know I've been thinking, these two months seem to have flown by. It felt like only yesterday, we were arriving up in the mountain, learning all about the farm life. But now it's just normal. I definitely miss the city, and those I left behind. Especially Eunji, I'd give anything to see her again. I just wish my life could go back to the way it was, only without any of the discrimination, lies, and murder. 

I wonder if things will stay like this, I mean farm life isn't the worst, but I won't be sad to leave it behind. These diary entries have really helped me pass the time, and I feel like I'm connecting to Lucilla in a weird way. Hiding away in an undisclosed location, documenting my feelings on previously blank pages, what kind of fairy tale is this? who knows, I could be cursing a whole group of creatures tomorrow.

We'll see what fate has in store.

"You mother fucker!"

Closing the cover of his journal, Chanhee giggled at the noise coming from outside. Picking himself up, the angle popped his book on the shelf, heading out of the farm house. Breathing in the fresh mountain air, Chanhee's eyes locked on the group of creatures standing beside the fence. 

"What's going on now?" Chanhee asked, feeling himself immediately brought close to his boyfriend. The demon wrapped his arms around the angels waist, perching his head on his shoulder.

"Farmer Lee told Hyunjae to weigh the ram, so he's trying to catch it." Younghoon replied. "Aren't you cold?" The demons attention fell to the lack of layers Chanhee was wearing. It was incredibly cold up in the mountain, so he could only worry that the angel would get ill.

"No I'm alright, I have you to keep me warm." Chanhee said, cuddling into Younghoon's embrace. This was something he adored being able to do, with no repercussions, or judgement, he could love Younghoon without any problems arising. 

"Ahh you bitch!" Hyunjae screamed, as he was knocked off his feet by the ram. He landed ass first into the mud, barely avoiding being trampled by the animal when it sprinted away. "Get back here now!"

No one could control their laughter, watching Hyunjae get knocked down, over and over again by the ram. This was entertainment you'd never get in the city, just an added bonus to farm life.

"You think you can defeat me?! I spent 19 years in Pure Sky, I've literally been stabbed 7 times! You're nothing to me!"

"7 times?" Kevin gasped, looking to Juyeon, who just shrugged.

Gritting his teeth, Hyunjae took a deep breath, before running full force into the ram, tackling it to the ground. "Wooooo fuck you! I ain't letting you go now!" He shouted.

"Well this is no fun anymore." Younghoon stated, as Hyunjae dragged the ram into the stables. "I honestly thought he'd be out here all night."

Juyeon chuckled, shivering slightly from the cold, so he shoved his hands into his coat pockets for extra warmth. "Let's go back inside, it's freezing." 

The other creatures nodded, following the demon to the door. Though, just as they were about the head inside, the screeching of car tires caught their attention. Turning towards the noise, they could see a car speeding its way towards the farm house. This was a very uncommon sight, as no one really traveled through this valley.

The group remained silent, waiting for the car to reach them. They all knew who that car belonged to, and it most likely wasn't bringing good news.

Clambering out of the car, was Eunji, alongside one of the angel boys. "Get your stuff, and get into the car. We're going to put a stop to your father." The fairy stated.

"Wait, hold up. This is moving too fast, how the hell are we meant to stop him?" Younghoon questioned, resting his hands on his hips. 

"Long story short. Pure Sky is in ruins, the divide between dark creatures and light creatures is only worsening. In two days, your father plans on opening the great library of the saints, which will basically destroy any chance of a united world." Eunji explained. 

During their time away, Chanhee had filled in the group, on all his discoveries. So they knew all about the re written books, and how that would negatively impact dark creatures.

"They're doing a private tour of the library with your father, before the grand opening. It'll all be filmed, so if we can sneak in, we may be able to expose him to the whole world." 

Chanhee felt his heart beat leaping out of his chest. He didn't think he'd ever have to confront his father, he more expected to be running away for the rest of his life. The thought of coming face to face with that man again, made him extremely anxious. 

"We've spent weeks planning this, please trust Eunji." Jacob said. It was true, him, Sangyeon, and Changmin, had helped plan this mission. He decided to come with the fairy, in hopes of convincing his friends to come back to Pure Sky, and maybe a small part of him really wanted to see Hyunjae again.

Glancing around his fellow runaways, Chanhee silently asked for permission from all of them. This was very dangerous, and he didn't want to agree without their approval. But with no signs of disagreement, Chanhee swallowed the lump in his throat, announcing. "We'll do it."

"Great." The fairy chimed, clapping her hands together. "Get your stuff quickly."

As the group rushed inside, Jacob and Eunji waited by the car.

"Jacob!" Hyunjae could barely believe his eyes. He'd just left the barn, and right in front of him was his precious Jacob. It could of definitely been the concussion caused by the ram, but nonetheless, Jacob was here, whether it be an illusion or not. 

Running over to Hyunjae, Jacob jumped into his arms, locking his lips with the demon. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." Hyunjae replied, letting the angel down, yet still holding him close. 

"Eww you're so muddy." Jacob giggled, looking at his hands, which were all covered in mud. He looked his boyfriend up and down, seeing the heavy coating of dirt plastering his body. "What have you been up to today?"

"Oh it's nothing, just body slammed a ram."
