"No, no, no!" Yeosang yelled through his breaking voice, scrambling to hit feet and tangling his lengthy fingers through his sweat-dampened hair. "Shit!" His eyes swelled with tears as he now rested his palms over his dark roots. His heart raced, he swore, at 100 miles per hour as he racked his brain as what he could possibly do next. He paced across the cracked floor, kicking the summoning circle with rage. "Woo Young how could you be so fucking stupid?!"

...

Yeosang busted through the apartment door, startling Seonghwa from his slumber on the demon. He threw his keys on the counter with a loud clang. Seonghwa sat up quickly and pushed himself to his feet, Yunho sat up quickly, observing the pacing blonde. "Yeosang what happened?" Seonghwa tried to speak but Yeosang only heard muffles as fury and fear clouded his conscious thoughts. Seonghwa grabbed his shoulders, halting his pace, "Talk to me. What happened?"

Yeosang couldn't even look to the latter, "He went with him," He snarled, and Yunho jumped to his feet, racing over to Seonghwa's side. Yeosang's thoughts ran rapid, he could feel himself starting to hyperventilate.

"Who?" Seonghwa tried to get him to talk more, but had no luck. Yunho took Yeosang's face in his large hand and forced him to look up, making direct eye contact with the latter.

"Who, Yeosang?" He demanded an answer. Yunho could see the blondes blue eyes flooding with fear, laced with anger, "Answer, c'mon!"

"Woo Young," Yeosang answered, and Yunho dropped his chin from his hand, urging him to finish his statement. Yeosang looked up the the charcoal-haired male, "He went with Mingi,"

...

The Rakshasa charged at the siblings, baring his protruding fangs. "Go, go, go," San urged, trying to push his sister to run. Yet, she stayed completely still, keeping her arms wide open for the monster. Her knees locked and her feet fell frozen. It wasn't that she didn't want to run, but her body physically wouldn't allow her. The creature ran on all fours towards the stuck sibling, and she closed her eyes tight and prepared herself for the pain just before everything froze.

She slowly opened one eye to be greeted with the fangs of the Rakshasa inches away from her face. She jumped back, looking behind her to see her brother, just as confused as she was. "San, did you...?"

He shook his head, "I'm not doing it," He insisted innocently, slowly approaching the creature as well. The siblings exchanged anxious looks as they heard a deep raspy laugh behind them. They turned to meet the familiar demon, holding Woo Young by his bicep. San's eyes widened at the sight, then shot a piercing glare towards the demon, "Let him go," He snarled.

"Oh, gladly," Mingi smirked, his crimson eyes swirled with venom as he threw Woo Young to the ground. He blinked his eyes back to coffee brown, dropping his soft gaze to the human, "See? I told you I'd bring you to them,"

Woo Young's hands stung as gravel dug into his palms. Eun-Ji stepped forward, "What're you doing? This doesn't concern him!" She snapped, approaching Mingi sternly, "Take him back," She demanded, looking up to the tall vessel that had abandoned them, "He doesn't stand a chance here and you know it,"

Mingi laughed heartily at Eun-Ji's poor attempt of intimidation, "Oh but Eun-Ji, he does! I have faith you'll protect him," He grinned, turning his evil eyes into crescents. He looked back to San, "You'll keep him safe, won't you, Sann-ie?"

"Shut up, you wretched piece of shit," San snarled in response, and Mingi smiled back, throwing his hands up in innocence.

"Enjoy your visit, Choi's," Mingi mocked before vanishing into smoke. Everything that was previously frozen forced itself back into play. The creature landed harshly on the gravel road, whipping his head towards the Choi siblings, then to the weak human that stayed kneeling in the dirt. A bloody smirk played on the creatures face as he stood, facing Woo Young directly.
