It turns out that the way out was to convince a demon to make a reversal pact himself.

Should be easy enough, but Renjun is indeed a little shithead. Single celled organism, hell-bent on causing trouble. Or at least, that's what it seemed like.

So, without tricking him, the feat seemed nearly impossible. Without deceiving Renjun, the pact would then depend on unfiltered feelings, a real actual oath.

But the more Jaemin thought about it, his head hurt; did he honestly want Renjun to leave? The more he got used to the demon, the less inclined he was to send him back to the underworld.

It was sort of endearing how Renjun tried to eat everything he saw and how he fell asleep in class since the closet isn't that comfy. Jaemin had half a mind to invite Renjun to sleep in his bed instead, but we all know how well that went last time.

And then there was Jeno. His best friend, his lover... who seemed to not hate Renjun as much. Maybe he got tired of the demon's antics, but Jaemin could tell that even he didn't want Renjun completely gone.

It was now lunch hour and Jaemin received a text in their group chat to meet in the parking lot. Confused, he grabbed Renjun's hand and tugged him through the side doors of the hall, walking to the parking lot where they spotted Chenle waving next to a faded blue van.

Jeno was in the goddamn drivers seat, waving like an idiot.

"Get in the car, losers, we're going-"

"Shopping?!" Chenle squealed, gripping Jisung tightly. Shotaro stood nearby, nervous. Jeno scoffed and let go of the wheel, parking the car sloppily between two parking spots.

"I mean, we weren't going to. I was just gonna skip at my house, but I guess we can." Jeno muttered, Jisung immediately climbing into the furthest row, holding Chenle's hand. Jaemin smacked the side of the van and grinned.

"You stole Doyoung's old van? Nice! You'll get bullied even more now!" He cackled, pointing at the corny, fading "My Child is a Superstar!" stickers from when it had been Jeno's mom's van, and the rather embarrassing political bumper stickers from when it had been his brother, Doyoung's.

"Let's go to the beach-each, let's go get away-" Donghyuck chanted in his best Nicki Minaj impression, suddenly walking over and leaning against Jeno's van.

Jaemin glared at him. "Why are you here, Hyuck?" Donghyuck nearly opened his mouth, but Mark interrupted him. The oldest boy walked up and smiled, taking his glasses off and cleaning them on his hoodie.

"Oh? Did you guys get those special permissions to leave campus like Duckie said?" He asked, cocking his head like a puppy. Jaemin was about to ask what the fuck he was even talking about, but Donghyuck simply hissed made a slicing motion on his neck. Jaemin didn't ask any questions about Donghyuck clearly tricking poor Mark. At least this would give them a chance to link up and for Donghyuck to get the hell out of his business.

"I'm sorry... did you just call Donghyuck 'Duckie'?!" Jaemin cackled, both Donghyuck and Mark blushing like little bitches.

"We can't just skip school!" Shotaro squeaked, Jisung immediately booing him as they got into the van. Jeno rolled his eyes and debated driving off without any of them, but opted to instead smack the car air freshener out of Renjun's hands before he ate that too.

A tall boy that Jaemin recognized from his math class walked up and laced his hand with Shotaro's, the littler boy squeaking even more in surprise.

With all of the finesse of a conveniently placed anime love interest, the boy looked at Shotaro with a smile and winked. Jisung gagged as they clicked in their seatbelt, but the boys stood outside of the car, staring into each other's eyes.
