"... sorry, i'm a what?"

"don't bother, i'll tell you everything later. we need to get you to the under."

"donghyuck what's wrong? what's the under??" mark questioned even after donghyuck's faint mutter, walking over to the latter quickly while stumbling a little from shock. meanwhile donghyuck, with his heart rate picking up from slight fear, just walked a little farther before closing his eyes, and opening them after a few seconds.

the once brown hazel eyes turned blood red in a matter of seconds, taking mark's hands into his. it terrfied the older, but he couldn't do anything as his view got hazy.

donghyuck caught mark in his hands as soon as they arrived in the entrance of jaemin's house, calling out to his friend.

"gosh donghyuck what the hell did you do?!" the younger questioned as he rolled his eyes a little before helping him carry mark inside.

"he was followed."

"you know mortals can't travel through quick portals here."

"i didn't have a choice" the tanned male replied with a huff as they place mark on the sofa.
"it was an evil spirit."

a certain chinese came out of his and jaemin's shared room, looking around confused and sleepy.

"woah, who the fuck is that." renjun cussed jokingly as he walked closer to the boy's sleeping form.

"the guy donghyuck brought here."

"isn't that not allowed? mortals here?"

"it's the only safe place from the evil spirits, jun. you know that." donghyuck got an eyeroll from the latter who examined mark.

"he'll wake up after a few hours. just give it some time." the youngest spoke as he and his boyfriend sighed and went back inside his room while donghyuck sat beside mark who stayed still since he got here.

his face scrunched, knowing he did something that could change the older's life. but he didn't knoe what he did to make an evil spirit target him. could it be because he accidentally showed his angel side to mark? it can't be, or else mark would've experienced it earlier than before.

the boy sighed, rubbing his face with his palms and looked at the canadian beside him.

"why did i ever do to come across you." he whispered to himself before standing up and leaving mark to have some rest.

-

"what the hell..." mark muttered, looking around the area he was in.

flames errupting inconsistently from the fireplace, making an uneven lighting around the room. the walls seemed to be made out of dark jet black stone and the curtains with bloody red all around. no sign of windows or light seemed to be visible, just the light from the fire.

"awake already?" the familiar addictive voice errupted from a certain edge of the room, coming from the young man reading a book but seemed to be burning it a second after.

"d-did you just... burn the-"

"no i didn't, i just placed it back to the shelf." donghyuck replied to the confused mark, standing with a sigh and walked over to the small shelf filled with books. he pointed to the same book he had read earlier.
"see?"

"... how?! first y-you tell me i'm being chased by some... some evil spirits and now you can teleport a book by burning it?" mark stood up quickly with his fingers lacing around his black locks. the fallen sighed once more as he stepped closer to the latter.

"you'll know soon. but for now, i'll tell you the reason why you can't go home first."

"i can't go home?!"

"no, you can soon but not in the mean time." the tanned male pushed mark down to the bed and sat beside him, not daring to look at mark in the eye or else... well his eyes would turn gold again. and he didn't want that.

"okay, tell me. i need to know what the actually heck is going on here." the older spoke with a terrified tone.

"you're in the under, the place where devils live."

"t-the what?"

"okay first of all calm down marcus, we don't want other devils to have a freaked out mortal in our house." donghyuck rolled his eyes sassily before scoffing.

"what, this is your house?"

"technically no, it's my friend jaemin's. but that's for another time." the younger spoke.
"as i said, the devils live in this place called the under. and trust me, it gets worse."

"you're scaring the hell out of me."

"good." donghyuck giggled sarcastically, "anddd just to make things more... scary.... you are being chased by an evil spirit."

"wait... i'm being chased by an evil spirit... but the under here is a place where devils live? isn't that... contradicting?"

"oh trust me, i'm still confused by that concept too." donghyuck said, standing up and stopping in front of mark's sitting figure.

"why?"

"as i said, that's for another story. but please don't even try to escape this realm. once you do you get lost in limbo." the younger pursed his lips and approached the door, opening it to leave but was stopped by another question.

"wait!" mark exclaimed, stopping donghyuck in his tracks.
"you're just gonna leave me here?" oh how donghyuck wanted to curse himself for being so attracted to mark.

"no, jaemin will come to help you." he said last and left out the door.

"who's jaemin?"
