"Donghyuck."
The said boy straightened at the sound of his master, Youngho, the Ogre god of the Demon's Gate.
"Sir?"
Youngho only smiled a little as he stared at Donghyuck affectionately, like his favorite little child, Donghyuck felt suspicious and nervous all of a sudden at his suddenly nice act. Youngho very rarely referred to him by his real name.
"You'll be accompanying me to Orio-ya, I want to see how my betrothed is faring in such... cruel conditions."
Youngho's attractive face turned blankly and almost into a scowl at the thought, Donghyuck suddenly felt a bit sad for him. The rival inn had kidnapped the Ogre's precious kitsune and betrothed, Ten, along with his former apprentice, Sicheng, kept as a hostage of some sort until after their business with the two. Yes, Youngho had expressed how upset he already was just not seeing Ten at his usual place every morning, up early and ready to open up the restaurant just outside the Demon's Gate entrance. Donghyuck also missed him dearly, Ten was like his guardian of some sort but also like an older brother. He often came by his little restaurant every afternoon to eat some of his favorite fruit-flavored dangos, to which Ten generously let him ravage every time.
Donghyuck nods and confirms his master's request until realization hit him, his twitching leaf-like ears drew back as his eyes narrowed. Youngho only chuckled to himself as he walked off with an amused lilt in his voice, still laced with authority.
"Haechan? Please be on your best behavior, I want to have a good time at Orio-ya no matter how much I detest that scavenger."
Again, yes, the head of the inn was also Youngho's rival who goes by the name of Yuta. A coniving excuse of a mystical white tengu (raven/crow) that the ogre detested, yet somehow tolerated. Thrown into the mix was also Donghyuck's not so favorite employee, their own handsome young master of Orio-ya, only second to Yuta himself.
Lee Minhyung.
Or as everybody simply knows as, Mark. The okami (wolf) that Donghyuck also hated, or may admired to the point of envy, who knows. It was only natural, Donghyuck was also a magical shika, a deer and revered messenger of the gods of the Kasuga Shrine in Nara. Whereas Mark was an okami, not only a wolf, but also the natural predator of deer. It's not like Mark was fiend enough to follow that natural rule, but they often butted heads because of how different they were from each other. Everyone else around them found it almost hilarious with the exception of the two themselves. For a peaceful mystical shika, Donghyuck was quite fiery and snappy on a normal basis and Mark hated anyone who was disrespecful and loud- of course- Mark thought that Donghyuck was anything BUT peaceful and respectful as his being normally dictates.
Donghyuck basked in the warm sunshine while Mark ventured under the cool moonlight.
As Donghyuck followed the ogre on their floating vessel, headed for the summery shore of Orio-ya, he could already foresee the needless yelling once he steps foot in the building. But to his pleasant surprise, he sees Ten walking with one of Orio-ya's employees, an apron wrapped around his waist and seemingly busy, walking out of a hall as they came in. Donghyuck smiles so widely and whizzes past the tall ogre to almost tackle Ten in a bone-crushing hug.
