————————————————————

The seven guys arrive in thier home. Taking in thier surroundings. Seonghwa smiled brightly, being the first one to walk ahead. "It feels great to be back, now let's get home" Seonghwa said and waved the other guys to him. They make thier way through the paths of hell, looking at different houses, well places that you'd call homes to different entities here.

Yeosang and Jongho look at the lake of the lost souls, boats with souls of people that have sinned in bad and not so bad ways on them, on thier way to thier forever torture. "I'm glad we'll never end up there" Jongho smiles and Yeosang nods.

Yunho and Mingi walked together, both of them being filled with worry. "I wonder if she's alright.." Yunho whispers to which Mingi nods "she'll die of loneliness" he jokes and the both of them laugh a little. "I'm worried, she's been through a lot, what if anything actually happens?" Mingi exclaimed, Yunho put his arm around Mingi's shoulder "once we're back you'll get to see her as much as you want" Yunho smiled.

„What brings you seven here?" Their father asked them, as he sat down on one of the sofas. The seven looked at him „we wanted to visit after a while" Yunho answered and smiled.
He nod and signaled them to sit down. „Why was Hongjoong here before you guys?" He asked them, earning a sigh from all of them.
„We or Seonghwa had a fight with him about Y/n. Hongjoong left because Y/n didn't want him near her anymore" Mingi explained this time, looking at Seonghwa with a glare.

„Right the girl, how's it going ? There's not much time left until I decide" Hades looked at all their faces, most of them having a neutral expression and some of them smiled a little. „I can tell that some of you actually like her.." He sounded quite disgusted, the guys looked at him confused. „What's wrong with us liking her?" San spoke up. „She's human. A mere human..why would you like someone like her" Hades spat, San and the others looked at the ground, feeling guilty.

„Father." Mingi stood up, hades held up his hand to signal him to stop talking. „I want you eight to rule the underworld, to rule Hell. I won't let the person to give in to the human, rule MY world." Hades yelled the last part, Mingi frowned in anger. „FATHER!" He yelled, the six others looked at him wide eyed, including Hades. „It doesn't matter if she's human or not! Most of us, I feel a connection towards her..she makes us happy" Mingi explained, pointing towards himself.

Hades eyes filled with anger and disgust. „Connection? Son. Humans and demons are NOT supposed to talk, live or even fall for each other! Your mother and I brought you to the world to make humans suffer! you eight are supposed to make them miserable!" Hades continued yelling at Mingi, Mingi took a deep breath, collecting himself. He was about to speak up until Hades interrupted him.

„Don't you dare say another word." He pointed towards Mingi with angered eyes.
Yunho and San started arguing along with Mingi. Jongho, Yeosang and Wooyoung left the room, not wanting to hear more of the yelling. Seonghwa, however, stayed there. He was getting frustrated with all the yelling.
He was pulled out of his own thoughts when he heard his name from his father.
„TAKE A LOOK AT SEONGHWA! He is the most responsible out of you three! He's doing what he's supposed to do! HE IS NOT BLINDED BY A WEAKLING!"

Seonghwa's ears perked up, he looked up at his father and then at the three guys, who looked at their father in disbelieve. All of them stormed out of the room, leaving Hades and Seonghwa. "Son. Promise me to not fall for the human girl, you don't want to end up like your uncle do you?" Uncle.. Seonghwa nod and stood up. Once he left the room, memories from his uncle entered his mind, the day he wanted to forget.

Everyone in hell was there that day, everyone watched him die.
Seonghwa stood on his fathers side, him being the oldest has always been the favorite..His seven brothers stood on the side of the place. Their uncle was tied up with chains between two statues.
"You betrayed us. YOU..You commit to a human, to a weakling!" Hades yelled at his brother. He looked up with a weak smile "call her a weakling one more time and I will end you!" He yelled. Hades laughed.

Seonghwa looked into his uncles eyes, they were telling him to let his uncle go, to let him be free with the love of his life.
"Seonghwa." Hades said, earning the attention of his son. Seonghwa looked at his father "my sword.." Seonghwa handed his father the sword, the sword that will end his uncles life. Guards brought his uncles wife into the huge room, throwing her next to his uncle. She immediately stood up and held onto her husband.

"It's okay honey..it's okay I'm here for you.." she trembled, hugging him tightly before being yanked away by the two guards again. Her face turned pale.
Yunho covered Jongho's eyes and Mingi covered his ears. Seonghwa kept a straight face, he had to, he didn't want to seem weak In front of his father. Hades raised his sword, stabbing his brothers wife straight into the chest. A shrilling scream filled the room, along with blood splattering onto the floor.

"SOPHIE! NO! YOU MONST-" Hades pulled the sword out of the girl and stabbed his brother. "You deserve death after what you've done." Guards took the dead bodies with them, rushing people out of the room. Seonghwa took his fathers swords and put it back where it was before. Hades put his hand on his Son's shoulder "son, promise me to not fall for a weakling. Neither human or angel. I won't accept it and you won't be my son."
Seonghwa nod and left the room.

"I can't fall for her now..."
He mumbled and walked towards his room.
