Seonghwa and Jongho made their way downstairs, after the human had calmed down completely. Jongho's company had really helped him.
Jongho also didn't pressure about why Seonghwa was like this. The human simply told him that it wasn't San's fault, and that he just felt pressure because of Yunho. They didn't need to know what was wrong with him.
The two heard voices and followed them, revealing the rest of the boys sitting in the big living room. Once they saw that the two entered, they stopped.
"How are you Seonghwa?" Wooyoung asked. Seonghwa saw that he was sitting right on San's lap.
"I'm good I guess He said rubbing the back of his head nervously.
Jongho gestured for them and moved, Seonghwa sitting between Jongho and Hongjoong. He watched how San and Wooyoung occupied the big armchair, the three of them sitting on the couch, Yeosang and Mingi had another couch to the themselves, while Yunho stood alone in a chair.
A shiver run down Seonghwas spine seeing him. But he hadn't that harsh look, he was rather looking at the floor, a small pout forming on his lips.
"Well I think that we have someone who wants to apologise" Hongjoong said from beside him, getting the attention from everyone.
Seonghwa looked confused but didn't talk.
"Yunho do you have to say anything?"
Seonghwas attention was now on Yunho. The two made eye contact but broke it immediately.
"He doesn't have to.."
"No Seonghwa. He did something wrong and though I know it's hard to say sorry, he has to try. What he said wasn't the best, am I right?" The mullet guy said and arched an eyebrow at the giant.
Yunho stayed silent for a moment. Because yes, it was too hard for him to apologise. Like cmon, a demon never apologises for anything.
But he somehow wanted to do it, even if it was hard. He knew that he shouldn't say those things. But he had to admit it. He was jealous.
Because let's face it. He liked Mingi. And not only him. His relationship with all of them was a lot complicated. At first he considered them as brothers but as time went by, something changed. He wanted them all to himself. And now that everyone seemed to be so focused on the small human, it bothered him. He was so used to the boys attention and now..
"I umm.. I'm sorry Seonghwa. For what I said"
Yunho nodded his head, and a small smile plastered on his face.
"It's alright Yunho. I understand. And I'm sorry too"
"Excuse me you forgive him?" Seonghwa suddenly heard and turned to look at San.
"Yeah, I mean why shouldn't I?"
"You don't hold grudges? Why did you forgive him so easily?"
Seonghwa smiled. Why did he forgive. What kind of question was that?
It was simply. He wanted to. Yunho was the first person he forgave. He remembered vividly the first time he encountered that word. Apology. Forgiveness.

A six year old boy had gone to the park with his parents and a few close friends. Though the boy had no interest in being here, it took a few lashes of a belt and here he was.
