FELIX POV

I was woken up this morning by my amazing alarm clock. School's calling. I didn't want to go, but I didn't want to stay home after last night either.

I quickly got up and went to get dressed while getting ready for school. I grabbed some pants, a t-shirt, and a comfortable, larger black sweatshirt from my closet.

As I left my room with my backpack on my back, I felt like I was being watched. But overall, I ignored it.

I walked downstairs and went to get breakfast. I was quite surprised that I was sitting alone at the table, but I didn't bother myself unnecessarily.

I cleaned up after myself and made my way to school. Or first to Minho's, since I'm going to school with him.

I was so out of sorts, body without soul, and I didn't even want to live here anymore. After yesterday, I wanted to die.

Who'd be surprised? After what I've been told and done...

I waited outside and within moments Minho was heading towards me. "Hi Lix," he called to me. I could tell he was in a good mood. At least someone was.

"Hi" I muttered and together we walked to school. "So how was your weekend?" He asked after a moment of silence. "Couldn't have been worse" I smiled at him ironically.

"Why? Problems at home?" "No, don't worry about it" I waved my hand. "What about you?" "It was great. Grandma was with us" "That's great" I muttered and was quiet the rest of the way.

At school I dropped my stuff off and headed to class. I didn't even wait for Minho. I was completely out of it. "Felix" he grabbed my hand before I could walk to class.

"Why didn't you wait?" "Sorry, I-" I didn't even finish because he interrupted me. "Come to the side" he said and immediately dragged me somewhere where no people were walking. We still had plenty of time before class started.

We stopped far away from the others. Facing each other. "What the hell is going on? You're acting different and generally weird" he glared at me and held my shoulders.

"Nothing's wrong Minho.. just had a bad weekend" I said, staring at my feet. I can't tell him to his face. I can't tell him anything, even though he's my best friend, but I can't. Or at least I think I can.

"Lix, please don't lie to me. I'm not stupid and I can see it in you that something is wrong" "I can't tell you Minho..." I muttered, still avoiding eye contact.

"I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything. Anything in the world and I'll always understand I guess I'll respect you. You can trust me. I've always been there for you and will continue to be. You have nothing to worry about, you won't lose me."

"It's so complicated..." I sighed. "It's all about that book from the library... it's no ordinary book" I muttered.

We couldn't speak too loudly because even though we're farther away from the others, some people can hear almost everything.

"The one about demons? What's wrong with it? I mean, you told me it was like an encyclopedia or something" "I.. I kinda lied to you" I sneezed my voice and cautiously looked up.

"Why did you lie to me and not tell me the truth? Lixie.." He sighed. "I.. didn't want to burden you with the truth, besides I thought everything would be fine, but as you can see for yourself.. it's not"

"Then what happened? What is this book?" he wondered.

"I don't know what that book was doing in the library... But you can summon any demon through it. The book has some information about each one and then some sentences to summon them. Of course, there's rules and stuff. The summoning texts are in a foreign language."

"Are you kidding? You have a book that can summon demons?" He looked at me in confusion. "Unfortunately.. it's true" I sighed. "And I'm an idiot" I added.

"Why? What did you bring up?" He shook me a little. "I was curious. I thought it was all just gibberish someone made up. So I found a demon, read the information and then the text.." he looked at me wanting to know more so I continued.

"Well, nothing happened, so I went to get food. But when I got back to my room... So-so there was a demon on my bed. This book isn't bullshit. It's real and it can summon a demon..." I looked away again and a little tear started to flow.

"I-I'm an idiot. Do you get it? I summoned a demon and that's how I made my life hell" I started crying more.

"Just because I didn't believe it... now I'm suffering. He-he's hurting me. He was nice to me before, but yesterday he attacked me and hurt me. Mostly verbally and-and I don't know what to do..."

At that, Minho hugged me and didn't know what to say himself. How would any of you react if your best friend could summon a demon? Nonsense.

"Please don't cry," he patted me on the head. "But... but he was really good to me, he wasn't mean, and now... now everything's changed. He's going to hurt me like this normally so I can understand what kind of demon he is" I sobbed.

"And what is he? What does he look like? Tell me about him" he continued to reassure me. He wanted to know more about him. All in all, he took it easy because he didn't want to embarrass Felix like this. Then again, he understands how complicated this is. But how damn lucky is he to have found this book?

"He's tall. He has long black hair and a few strands of white hair. The freckle under his eye.. He is strong and-and he's very handsome. When he was good, he was like an angel, not a demon. He was nice to me. His eyes are nice too, you can even see the flamingos in them when he's angry. His horns are amazing... And-and he's just beautiful," I started raving about him.

"But.. he's an I-Incubus. You probably don't know what that is, do you?" i stopped crying. "You're raving about him like you like him, but he's hurting you Lixie... And no, I have no idea"

"Incubus is a sex demon... And... I- I think I like him, but I really don't know right now. I can't be in love with a demon. Besides, he's making my life hell right now."

"A demon of what?!" he paused. "You heard right... You probably know what I've been through..." I pulled away from the hug. "Oh god, Felix... you're driving me crazy... this is a different psycho" he started grabbing his head.

"Well.. It's just different now. He's mean, verbally abusive and probably wants to sexually assault me. Now he has long black horns, claws and black eyes... He scares me... I-I want to bring back the Hyunjin I summoned" "So his name is Hyunjin?"

"He bit me too. So the scar on my arm wasn't from a cat. It was from him. I have another one here from yesterday..." I showed him the new scar on my arm.

"Lixie... you make me want to cry. What you're going through. You don't deserve this" he patted my head and held back the tears.

"Minho... I'm gon-I'm gonna need your help." "My-what!?" "I want him back, I want him to be good again... I want him back, please. I don't want to get rid of him... Which I would do by burning the book. I just... I don't know how to fix him" I grabbed his shoulders this time.

"And you think I know how to help you? I'd love to, but I don't know about this at all Lixie.. do you think it'll work?" "It has to go.. and now we have to get to class, it's ringing" I said and immediately pulled him by the hand into the classroom.
