In a shadowy corner of the universe, where the light dared not tread and the air was thick, a voice pierced the silence. "Ahhhhh, it's sooo borrring!" A voice whined.

"Yah, Dk! Don’t you dare open your mouth!" came a stern retort from Someone, who was clearly not in the mood for Dk's melodrama.

"What the heck, Hoshi hyung? All I said was that it’s boring!" Dk shot back, his lower lip jutting out in a pout.

"Shuaaaaa hyungg, look at him!" Dk whined, gesturing dramatically.

Joshua, the ever-patient peacemaker, sighed and gently stroked Dk's head, a gesture that was both soothing and slightly patronizing.

"Babe, please don’t take this the wrong way, but every time you say something like that, something terrible happens. That’s why Hoshi is angry."

"Not you too! You’re  my lover, my partner in crime! You should be on my side, hyunggggg!" Dk whined again, his voice reaching a pitch that could shatter glass.

"Dk, shut your mouth or go to your guys' room and whine there," someone chimed in, clearly fed up with the drama.

"Shuaaaaa, hyung! Coups hyung is bullying me!" Dk cried, throwing his hands up in exasperation, desperate for sympathy.

Joshua chuckled, shaking his head. "Yah, Coups, leave my babe alone!" he said, trying to maintain some semblance of order in this chaotic realm.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Scoups replied, rolling his eyes as if he were the seasoned parent of a particularly dramatic child.

You see, these demons had once relished the thrill of sneaking into the human world, causing a ruckus, and scaring the living daylights out of unsuspecting mortals. It was a grand old time, filled with cackles and chaos. But then, everything changed. Enter the ghost hunters—those pesky humans armed with gadgets that looked like they were borrowed from a sci-fi movie.

At first, the demons thought it was a hoot! They’d pop up in the middle of a ghost-hunting expedition, waving their claws and howling like banshees, only to be met with the humans’ excited squeals of delight.

“Look! A real demon!” they’d shout, as if they’d just spotted a rare Pokémon. But soon, the novelty wore off. The humans, instead of running away in terror, began to whip out their smartphones, capturing every moment for their YouTube channels. “Demon Encounter! Must See!” the titles would scream, racking up views faster than a cat video.

The demons, once the kings of fright, found themselves reduced to mere entertainers. They’d try their best to scare the humans, but instead of screams, they were met with laughter.

Frustrated and bored out of their minds, the demons finally decided they’d had enough. “This is no fun anymore!” one particularly grumpy demon grumbled, tossing his pitchfork aside. “I didn’t sign up for this! I want to scare people, not pose for Instagram!” And with that, they all collectively sighed and returned to Hell, where at least the lava was warm and the company was less… human.
