The Way It Burns - BbangNyu

[50]

-Triple upload: make sure you read chapter 49!-

Hyunjae ducked his head back behind the van, after seeing the four men running towards it. He took one glance at Juyeon, whilst being handed the little bag of powder. The plastic weighed heavy in his hand, as he pulled it open. He'd never seen such a thing before, Eunji really did have access to some dodgy items.

Gritting his teeth, Hyunjae wanted to time this perfectly, waiting for the very moment the footsteps stopped beside the van. When he felt the time was right, the demon jumped into sight, jolting the bag of powder at the crew, covering them in the contents of the bag.

It didn't take long for the magic to take affect, as the four men crumbled to the ground in front of the demons. 

"Look for the keys." Juyeon said, already searching one of the men. 

The two rustled through every pocket on the crew, eventually stumbling upon the keys to the van. "Found them." Hyunjae stated, quickly heading over to the back door, and unlocking it. "Arms or legs?"

"It doesn't matter, just grab anything." Juyeon replied, his voice sounding frantic. 

Heaving the men up, one by one, the duo managed to get all of the men inside the van. With a click, Hyunjae locked the van again, leaning himself against the door. "Ahh fuck...I wasn't prepared...for this amount of...exercise" He grunted, between heavy breaths. 

A small smirk tugged Juyeon's lips, as he also leaned on the door, catching his breath. He felt quite accomplished that they had managed to succeed in their first section of the plan. 

Though, his happiness didn't last for long, as a glint of sliver flashed past his eye, alerting him to the gun being pointed straight at Hyunjae. 

"Hyunjae!" Juyeon shouted, lunging at the demon, knocking him to the ground. Just as he did, the trigger was pulled, shooting a bullet right where he had been previously standing. They could see the smoke pouring out of the bullet hole, causing both demons to internally freak out. 

Rolling off Hyunjae, Juyeon got to his feet, soon followed by Hyunjae. The man, who seemed to be one of the crew, was still pointing the gun at the demons.

"What the hell did you do to my colleagues?! I saw you stuffing them into the van!"

"Chill, they're only knocked out temporarily. We have something really important to do, and we need your cameras. Please put the gun down, maybe we could work together-"

"Why the hell does the camera guy have a gun anyway?" Hyunjae interrupted, receiving a death glare from Juyeon, since this definitely wasn't helping.

"You ask why I have a gun, when you literally just knocked out four of my colleagues, no wonder I need to protect myself." The man said, swaying his gun back and forth between the two demons.

Holding his hands out, Juyeon tried to act smart, attempting to seem as nonthreatening as possible. Whilst Hyunjae on the other hand, was just being Hyunjae.

Letting out a sigh, Hyunjae sprinted towards the man, snaking his movements so he couldn't be shot. Juyeon's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe Hyunjae was being so stupid. 

"Stop right now!" The man yelled, shooting multiple bullets at Hyunjae, but missing everyone. 

"Please Hyunjae stop!" Juyeon also shouted, realizing that this idiot was about to get himself killed.

Rolling his eyes, Hyunjae grabbed the barrel of the mans gun, fighting for control of the weapon. "For Gods sake Juyeon! Check your hands!"

Peering down, Juyeon hadn't even noticed the powder was now in his hands. Rushing over to the tussle, he threw the remaining powder over the man, who became unconscious almost instantly. 

Hyunjae chuckled, as the man fell to the floor. Turning to Juyeon, a smirk plastered his face, cockily swooping his fringe out of his eyes. "I thought you said you wouldn't save me if I was about to get shot in the head."

"Dude you have to be joking! Is that all you can think about?!"

Chanhee flinched, hearing gun shots coming from outside. "You don't think-"

"No." Younghoon cut him off, staring seriously at the angel. "Don't think negatively right now, we have something more important to focus on." 

Nodding his head, Chanhee continued down the corridor, soon reaching those big doors he immediately recognized. They were slightly open already, so the angel leaned himself in, checking what was going on inside. He could see a small crew setting up the library, and camera's resting on the upper balcony. His father didn't seem to be there yet.

"Follow me." Chanhee whispered, timing his movements skillfully. He guided the boys along the shadowy wall of the library, where they were able to reach the corner of the wall, without getting caught. There was a small gap behind the bookcase, that just about fit the three of them, so now all they had to do was wait.

"Governor Choi, this way please." A woman spoke, directing the governor to an x on the marble. "We'll give you a cue once we're live, then you can start your speech. The camera's are located on the balcony, so we can get the best view of the room, please direct your attention up there. Hangyul! How's the governor look?" The woman asked, receiving an ok sign from the camera man. "Perfect, if you're ready, the broadcast will start at 11 sharp."

"Thank you." 

After a few minutes of adjusting lights, fixing makeup, and checking camera's, the clock tower signaled that it was time to start. Giving a fast slice down, the woman announced that the broadcast had begun, and Chanhee's father got to work. 

"Hello to my wonderful residents of Pure Sky, and to any other people of freeland, who decided to watch this broadcast. I'm here today at the once exclusive great library of the saints, filled with every book in history, I thought it was such a shame to keep it all to myself. So that's why from tomorrow on wards, I'll be opening this up to the public. Let me guide you on a glorious tour of the building, and show you the wonders that were created by the angels. I-"

"I hate to interrupt, but I have something I need to say. Sorry dad..."
