Arriving at Felix's house, his friends couldn't stop noticing the fantastic refurbishments he had made. His apartment was now a compact yet bright and airy warehouse. Tall windows, brick walls and concrete beams. Prior to the renovation, his home used to be like an empty shell, with barren walls, lack of windows, with patched floors and without a decent kitchen, or bathroom. Felix really put a lot of effort on it. After a complete overhaul, his apartment showcases beautiful modern aesthetics. A modern and peaceful double room with open spaces, striking ceilings, an industrial glass wall that shields from the bedroom and with two huge west-facing windows that runs from floor to ceiling.

The living room and kitchen forms a social and open plan living area. The area is characterized by high ceilings, whitewashed walls, and generous surfaces, creating an open and airy feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the city views below. Some are openable, which turns into a French Balcony when weather permits. The black color of the window compliments the black power switches, painted water pipes, forging details an industrial glass wall in black. That bight and airy warehouse style apartment features whitewashed walls and generous surfaces despite its compact size. Walls of glass adds to the feeling of spaciousness, while an open layout keeps the small footprints feeling larger than it really is. The demons were gaped as they looked around to every detail, admired with how their friend put so much work even with simple stuff. After some compliments about the new house, Changbin sits on the couch and Felix joins him right after, turning the console on and grabbing the controls as they tried to figure what they were going to play. Carrie, with her arms crossed, sits next to Felix, ready to assume control of the game if she saw Felix losing against Changbin. Still standing up, Minho grabs Elizabeth's hand, not allowing her to sit, guiding her to the entrance hall and looks at her. The demon lets go of his best friend's hand and takes a deep breath.

"I ended up telling Carrie what's up between us."

"You told her? What did she said?" Elizabeth looks admired at Minho, she wasn't expecting him to tell her the whole truth but instead try to make Carrie Forget about the subject.

"Nothing, but she almost kicked my ass when I told her it's been for months." Minho remembers the face and the little scream that Carrie did when she found out her best friend was sleeping with him.

"What were you waiting? You already know how she is." Elizabeth sighs looking at the demon.

"I know, I know..."

"We can end this if you don't feel comfortable with Carrie knowing, I know it was supposed to be our secret." The young demon looks away from Minho and stares at her hands.

"That's not an option." Minho discards immediately what Elizabeth just said, "I like to be with you Liz, and she knowing doesn't bother me."

Minho gets closer to the blue-haired girl in front of him and runs his hand through her face until he reaches her chin, pulling her head up and making her look at him. The demon smiles to his best friend. Elizabeth was going to grab Minho's hand so they could walk back to the living room, but the demon had something to do first, he gives one more step forward, pressing Elizabeth's body against his own, admiring her face. Minho pushes some lock of hairs away from the girls face and presses his lips against hers in a short, but intense, kiss. Hearing the screams of Changbin and Carrie that sounded like their lives depended of a simple Mario Kart game, the couple separates from each other and walk back to the living room. Minho sits down next to Felix, that had changed sits with his girlfriend, and Elizabeth sits on his lap, leaning against his chest and fitting her head against Minho's neck.

Chan had just woken up, the demon touches the screen of his mobile phone to see the time, and it was already 2:15 in the afternoon. Chan sits down, stretching all over, leaning against the bedside, thinking about what he was going to do. The demon looks at his mobile phone without knowing if he would send a message to his friends and listen to Felix' sermon or just go for a walk. The decision was easy to make. The blond man wears shorts and the first t-shirt he found on the chair and went for a walk to relax.  The day continued just like in the morning. Cloudy, grey and cold. Making the demon repent for having left in short-sleeved shirts, shorts and slippers. The streets were still, which was not normal for Georgia in the summer. Chan ends up entering the first establishment he finds, a normal café, and looks around until his eyes meet the character who has made him unstable and anxious. Robin. The angel was sitting at a table alone and looking out the window. Chan approaches the angel and puts his hands on the chair looking at her, Robin looks at the demon and she rolls her eyes.

"Do you mind backing off?" Robin complains pushing the boy back.

"C'mon Robin." Chan rolls his eyes and sat down next to her, "You're an Angel, you're sweet and beautiful, you care about animals. What's the point of being so rude when I'm treating you good?"

"Easy. I don't like you." Robin lies but keeps her serious face so the demon wouldn't know.

"First of all, you're a demon. Second of all, you exist." The angel lists the reasons why she said she didn't like the handsome demon sitting in front of her.

"I know you're lying. Let's just start all over." Chan suggests stretching out his hand in an attempt at a truce.

The angel arched her eyebrow looking suspiciously at Chan, but ends up shaking his hand, "Start over? How do you expect that to happen?" Asks with some curiosity.

Chan smiles and gets up, pushing her. The devil and the angel left the café and walked towards the aquarium where Chan was a volunteer. He walks to the locker room and wears his wetsuit and asks the angel to wait there, Chan leaves the room where they were leaving Robin alone. The brunette looks around and ends up sitting in some white wooden whites who were there waiting for the devil and thinking about him and the fact that he worked too hard to be with her, which she found strange, until her thoughts are interrupted by Chan's return.

"There, go change."

Robin, confused, shrug her shoulders and went to the girls' locker room. After the difficulty she had to wear that tight suit, Robin goes out seeing Chan leaning against the wall waiting for her. The demon seeing Robin ready, grabs her hand carefully and starts walking to one of the tanks in the aquarium. The two of them were now at the edge of a giant tank, and the angel was anxious and scared to look at it. Chan jumps into the tank first and returns to the top quickly and looks at Robin, he stretches out her hand and pulled the girl into the water, which when she returns to the surface she starts throwing water at Chan, but did not affect the demon at all and only made him laugh more. This puts the mask on the angel's face and pulls it down, starting to swim between some fish and even turtles, Robin had her eyes closed until she slowly begins to open them, being fascinated by what she was seeing.

Time went by and Robin was having the best day of his life, all thanks to Chan. From time to time she would approach him and mess with him, until he took a piece of paper out of his pocket, "Can this be our first date?".
