Morning came, and I just finished taking a shower when I walked by Aira's room. I was already a few steps away from her bedroom door when I felt this weird and unusual feeling.

I furrowed my brows as I slowly approached the door, and put my hand on the knob to twist it open. . . But to my luck, it's locked. The unusual weird feeling felt twice as before. I was about to knock when I heard Kyungsoo called downstairs.

"Sehun! Can you help with preparing breakfast please?"

I still felt uneasy and worried, but still, I ignored it, thinking she just needs some space. Maybe mood swings or she's under stress, which I totally understand.



I went downstairs immediately, and helped Kyungsoo like he asked. I carried plate over plate as I placed it properly on the dinner table. "I don't think Aira would have breakfast." Kyungsoo commented as he noticed that there were six plates on the table.

I turned to him and asked, "Have you talk to her?"

He shook his head sadly, "She never left her room. She's usually awake at this time of the day, and helped me with preparing breakfast, but I guess, she's not feeling okay."

"Can you check her out for me? Maybe talk to her or something? I'm just really worried, and I think she doesn't want to talk to me." I said, trying to sound casual.

"Okay, and don't worry too much. I'm sure it's nothing serious." Kyungsoo assured. "Don't feel too much emotions, by the way, you know how it affects you as a demon. Just relax, don't lose yourself, 'kay? He smiled, sounding like a real mom.

"Yeah, noted." I smiled back.









Kyungsoo and I finished preparing breakfast and called everyone.

Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Jongin, Kyungsoo and I are already on are usual seats, showing one chair was empty. There were a few minutes of silence before everyone started digging up.





"Aira is really making me worried." Chanyeol piped up with a solemn deep voice that broke the silence. "Is she okay, Sehun?" From his plate, he looked up and shot me a glance.

"Uhm, she doesn't talk to me either." I said, avoiding his glance.

"She's okay, Chanyeol. I'm sure she's just tired with all of these. She just misses home and stuffs, like we do." Baekhyun said in a monotonous tone as he kept eating and feeling way better after he passed out days ago. He then looked up to me as he wiped his mouth with a clean napkin. "You better keep your promise, Sehun." It sounded more like a demand than a request, but his voice was at ease and warm, so maybe I was the one thinking it sounded like a demand.

I nodded my head timidly, "I never break a promise."



It was written all over Baekhyun's and Chanyeol's faces how badly they want to go home, and have a normal life with Aira, and I can't blame them. Being with a demon is too dangerous and deadly, not just for Aira, but to anyone else.





As much as I want to keep her, I badly need to let her go. . .





But is it too much if I ask and hope for different outcome? Maybe, there could always be a possibility that impossible things can happen? I always believe that if we're meant to be together, we will always find our way, no matter what happen. . .











Snapping me out of my thoughts, I heard Jongin speak. I could barely hear what he said first, but then he continued, "Sehun is trying is best to deal with this situation, and I know how badly you want this to be over with, but please, don't make it hard for my brother." I could feel the eagerness in Jongin's word.

"He's a demon. Nothing's too hard for him! He can just kill that other demon and it's over! Why can't you just get on with it? And don't treat him like he's a human because HE is not!" Baekhyun exploded for some unknown reason. I bit my lip, trying not to feel hurt by his words, but I kept myself composed.

"Don't talk to my brother that way!" Jongin yelled back, trying his best to stand when we all know he can never.

"Jongin. . ." Kyungsoo cut him off, placing his hands on his shoulders to help him calm down.



"And you," He pointed his finger at Jongin. "didn't he do that to you? Isn't he the reason why you can't walk right now? Hm?"



"Baekhyun, stop." Chanyeol said, cutting him off as well. I glanced at Baekhyun, and I could see the sadness in his watery eyes. "Arguing with them is not gonna change a thing too. Why can't we just be thankful that they accept us in their abode?"




"Be thankful? Are you hearing yourself, Chanyeol? Do you have an idea what the hell are you saying?" He rolled his eyes at Chanyeol, "He is the main reason why we're in this situation too! This wouldn't happen it weren't for him, if he didn't meet Aira in the first place!"




"I gave up. I hope you have any idea what just came out of your mouth, Baekhyun." Jongin said before he left with Kyungsoo, trailing behind him, telling him to come back.









Once they both disappeared from our sights, Baekhyun glared then rolled his eyes before he left as well.



Chanyeol and I were the only ones left, and I forced myself not to say a word.

"I'm sorry about all of this, Sehun. Just deal with Baekhyun for a while." He begged, tapping my shoulder before he left too.


























--------------------------------------------









It was a cold night — colder and darker than usual nights; the stars were barely seen and the sounds of the wind thrown at the trees were disturbing and loud.











I tried to keep calm, and think of ways to fight Tao faster, but I have no idea when, where and how to start it. Even I, I want this to be over soon, but I'm scared as well.

I might be a demon, but I feel emotions like a human too.

















Once, I felt too tired thinking, I laid on my bed and pulled the blanket over my exposed torso and began drifting to sleep. . .












When suddenly, I heard a loud familiar raspy scream from the other room awaken me again. Jongin?

Another update. I decided that I will continue it, but don't expect it to be perfect or what because I still lack something that would inspire me, maybe my updates would suck like this one. Still, thanks again!

P.S. I also have plans in writing a Jungkook fic in the future, so I do hope you'll check it out if it get published. There will sexual stuff there, so look forward it. Hahaha.
