The demons looked Seonghwa with wide eyes. The human had so easily forgave Yunho? Something was different about this human.

Seonghwa feeling a lot of eyes on him, hide his face in his hands.

"Don't look at me" He mumbled but they were able to hear him.

"We don't mean to but.. That's so strange"

"But why is it strange?"

"Because humans don't forgive so easily. In fact they try to hurt the other just as he had hurt them"

Seonghwa chuckled at this. There was no way that he would do that. First of he didn't want to be like his parents. What they did was always revolved with violence. And second, he didn't want to be in this position, like Yunho. He didn't want to apologise again and again and the other to hurt him, despite that.

"Well, I guess I don't want to be like other humans. Besides everyone deserves a second chance"

The boys looked at him with a small smile on their faces. He was surely different. They had encountered lots and lots of people, but someone so pure, so innocent.. It was difficult for them.

They could sence his pure soul from miles away. Though this boy seemed to deal with a lot of problems, that didn't change the fact that he was pure. And the sins wanted to know about the boys life. And possibly protect him.

"I know this is going to sound really weird ,but Seonghwa, why did you reacted like that?" Mingi was so curious about the soft black haired boy.

"I dont really want to talk about it" The human said and trying everything to look as small as possible, almost as if he wanted to disappear from the room.

But right then, his mind started filling with unnecessary thoughts. He was fine just moment ago. Past events flashed way more violently than he would expect. The voices were too many, he couldn't hear anything else.

"please make them stop" he said, almost tearing up. He spoke in noone in particular, but Hongjoong replied.

"who little pup?"

"the voices. Please make them stop"
Hongjoong side hugged the boy, letting him bury his face into his neck. He whispered sweet nothing's into the boy's ear, hoping to relax him. He wasn't that heartless.

He felt Hongjoong softly pet his hair and he leaned into the touch unconsciously. He was a little better now.

"Everything is OK now Seonghwa. No one is going to hurt you. Don't worry. We will make sure of it. We won't leave you alone from now on. You don't have to be afraid anymore"

Seonghwa tried everything in his power to not keep crying. He felt so touched, he hadn't heard someone say that kind words to him. Everyone was trying either degrade him or make some nasty comments about him. So now, hearing those things, it made his heart beat fast.

He could hear Hongjoongs rhythmic heartbeat and it almost lulled him back to sleep. But before this would happen, Wooyoung stood up from his seat and scooped the boy into his arms, making his way to Seonghwas bedroom.

He gently placed the boy into the bed, seeing his half closed eyes. He was cute, he had to admit.

The others made their way also upstairs, wanting to be with the human as long as possible.

They looked inside the room and saw Wooyoung somewhat playing with Seonghwa, their faces softened.

San went inside the room first and then the rest followed. The sight in front of him was the cutest. Seonghwa was in the bed, hugging a dark fury  plushie. The demon had saw that plushie laying around the house.

Wooyoung was there. San went and placed his hand on his shoulders.

Truth is that San hadn't really encounter Wooyoung like that. This sight was so domestic. But it made San's heart skip a beat. He liked what he saw.

The same went for the rest of the sins, who immediately gathered around the scene, watching mesmerised the way Wooyoung treated the boy.

San climbed on the bed and scooped Seonghwa into his arms. The boy giggled, his actions like those of a young child. But they didn't questioned it or cared. What mattered now, was the fact that their pup was safe and away from danger.

Seonghwa snuggled closer to the demon, his warmth comforting him. They all smiled fondly at the boy's action.

San tighten his grip on the boy and softly started to sing. Seonghwa smiled at the sweet voice he heard and though he wanted to hear more, his eyes started dropping, and in just a few seconds his was out.
