longg chap ahead, enjoy!

one day after yeonjun confessed to sangmi:

at yeop's private estate:

"what is the prince of hell doing here this early in the morning? must be something top notch. wait-are you dying?" yeop kept his glare durable on yeonjun.

yeonjun expected this ignorant attitude, rolled his eyes, took his time in making himself comfortable on the bubble couch and then finally replied to the boy who's judging his every gesture,

"that's how you welcome me?"

"what do you expect then-"

"shutup and listen." yeonjun's facial expressions went deadass serious as he looked at yeop, the other one clearly offended at how his words had got cut off, but decided to stay quite and listen since it seemed really urgent.

"whatever i'm going to say, listen and process first before reacting." yeonjun slowly uttered to make sure yeop heard it all right.

once he earned a nod with a 'go ahead' from yeop, he continued, "you're a demon child, you receive the blessings of demons. what's given to the demons are the ability of talking to the dead...have you ever tried it?"

yeop was completely baffled as he narrowed his eyes at yeonjun, replying, "what are you even trying to get at?"

yeonjun saw this kind of answer coming so he clapped his hands and said with a sparkling thrill on his eyes, "i'd like you to try that by yourself. you don't need to tell me, just know it for yourself."

"are you playing games with me? hoonmyeong sent you here?" yeop interrogated skeptically which made yeonjun chuckle and yeop mouthing a 'what's so funny?'

'she said the same. no wonder they are twins.' yeonjun smiled.

"nobody sent me. i don't work for anyone but hell and we've finished our business already. it's about you and sangmi."

hearing his sister name alerted him as he sat upright and clenched his jaw, "what about sangmi?"
just his protective instinct for his dear sister getting more and more alarmed.

"you two could step inside of the temple on earth. there's a wall between demons and humans so that system can't get messed, however, you two could play with human children. you have felt weird about this too, haven't you?"

yeop didn't response anything because it's only truth and factual. and he didn't want to give imbecile remarks or sound like a dumb when the later evidently looked well prepared and knowledgeable.

"you should try going there again and check by yourself. one of my- or, i can say, you assumed the same too, that is we were just kids. you know, yet, it would have been impossible for your blood. so, it's only good to check whether you can enter there again or not." yeonjun suggested.
