Twenty-four

Yeosang backed away from the demon. He took a deep breath. "I saw all of it.." He admitted finally after finally deciding it wasn't worth it to lie. Yunho's eyes flicked back to their human-like appearance.

"What do you remember of it?" Yunho asked again.

"All of it." Yeosang looked back up to him. Yunho smirked slightly.

"So you know what they are, don't you?" Yunho pressed.

Yeosang hesitated. He bit the inside of his lip and looked away out of nerves. He took a deep breath.

"Yes."

...

Night had officially cast across the abandoned village Eun-Ji and San were thrown into. There was nowhere truly safe to hide besides their silo they had found, during the day now behind them. The siblings made their way back, San shoving the rake through the handle again to create a temporary lock on the door. San was unusually quiet towards Eun-Ji. The tension filled the air like thick fog. 

"How'd you do it?" San asked finally after a moment too long of silence. Eun-Ji paused her making of a hay bed to look up to her brother. San met her eyes, "How did you do what you did, Eun?"

Eun-Ji sighed and sat down, "I don't know.. It was like an adrenaline rush," She explained, "It was like I was above me, looking down as I did something so.." She stopped, not wanting to even say it. San looked at his nervous sibling. 

"Not human," He finished. She nodded hesitantly.

"Right.." She mumbled. The siblings sat in silence again, the cold, bitter air making their hands numb.  Eun-Ji shivered once as she grabbed a small pile of hay and some broken pieces of wood tools, creating a small bundle on the cement. She stuck one straw into the candle-lit lantern and watched as the end lit. She slowly removed it and stuck in under the bundle she made, seeing it light into a small fire. She sat back on her hay bed, curling her legs into her chest. 

"Eun.." San spoke, not taking his eyes from the warm fire. Eun-Ji looked up at the sound of her name, "I'm not afraid of you. And.. And I think the only way we are going to get out of this alive is if we use these...powers," He hesitated at the word, it made his skin crawl, "To our advantage." 

Eun-Ji tilted her head, "You want to use them? I-"

"I know. But it may be our only chance at survival.. Are you with me?" San asked, finally lifting his eyes from the golden fire. 

...

"We have no lead, Woo Young," Yunho snapped, "The only person that would know where they are is Mingi,"

"Then summon him!" Woo Young snapped, "If he is who can tell us, then we will make him tell us," Woo Young growled, glaring at the eyes of the demon, fists clenched by his sides. Yeosang watched as his brothers face turned red. Yunho didn't reply, he just kept his eyes locked with Woo Young. Woo Young was growing impatient. "Summon him," Woo Young snarled in a lower tone. 

Yunho narrowed his brows, not liking this new tone Woo Young has adopted when speaking to him. "No. He will kill us all, you understand?" Yunho answered with the same low tone. Woo Young got in his face. The latter was slightly taller, and without a doubt stronger, but Woo Young showed no fear in his stance. 

"If you don't, I will." Woo Young whispered, his voice laced with anger. 

"You're truly an idiot, aren't you?" Yunho chuckled, "If you wish to be killed, I'd gladly do it,"

"Alright you two, enough." Seonghwa stepped in, pushing the two away from each other. "Enough." He repeated. Yunho stepped down at the sound of Seonghwa's voice and his hand placed firmly against the center of his chest. Woo Young, on the other hand, shoved Seonghwa's hand away, glaring firmly at the demon before turning, grabbing his keys and shoes, and walking out of the apartment with a slam.
