Seonghwa woke up from his sleep, completely energized for some reason. He looked around him, seeing that he was in his room, alone. No one was with him.
He stretched a little, soft yawns leaving his mouth. He checked his clock beside him, saying that it was nine in the morning.
He slowly got off bed, went into the bathroom to do his business, and made his way downstairs.
He first entered the living room, seeing the two giants inside.
"Good morning" He said quietly, to not disturb the two.
"Good morning Seonghwa. How did you sleep?" Mingi asked and turned to face him.
"It was OK.. Are the rest here?" He said, implying the rest of the sins.
"Yeah, there in the kitchen. Or outside" Mingi said.
"Is Wooyoung here? Has he come back yet?"
"Not that I know of. Hongjoong too left after him, but they're not here yet" Yunho replied, a sad expression on his face. He wasn't worried about the two of them, he just wanted them to return home.
"OK thank you" Seonghwa said and walked away from the two. He wanted to see the boys.
Entering into the kitchen, he saw Yeosang eating, while Jongho was over the stove, cooking.
"Good morning" Seonghwa said yet again quietly, not wanting to startle the boys.
Yeosang lifted his head and smiled warmly at him, patting the chair beside him. Jongho also turned from where he was and said good morning.
"Morning little one. Come and sit. Jongho make something for Seongie too"
"I I'm not.. " Seonghwa started but was cut of by a glaring Yeosang.
Jongho, turned to see the two boys, and started preparing something for the human. Just something small.
So after some minuter, he placed in front of Seonghwa a plate. It had only a single slice of bread with honey and a glass of milk.
Seonghwa looked at the plate. OK, he could finish it maybe. It wasn't too big.
"Why are you putting so little portions?" Seonghwa asked. It was something he was curious about.
Jongho set down his own plate, and looked between the two of them.
"You're body is not used to big portions of food. You're stomach has closed and it's difficult to push a lot of food. It only scares you. By the looks of you, you seem like you haven't had a proper meal in a long time. We start off small, so that your stomach can get used to the feeling of being full" Yeosang said and looked at Seonghwa.
The human just stared at him, completely lost in his words. He could not believe that these demons put so much effort in him. Like, what was so special about him?
He placed his hands on his lap, findling with his fingers. Why did they do this? They probably wanted something.
Just then, he started remembering. All those times that someone did something good to him, and then Seonghwa had to 'repay' him. But in ways Seonghwa didn't like. In ways that it made him feel disgusted, humiliated, dirty.
So were the demons like them? Will they tell him to 'repay' them, because they did all those things to him?
Seonghwa started trembling. He didn't want this. He didn't want to go through all those things that happened in the past.
He looked at the two boys that looked at him with confused and worried expressions.
"Seonghwa is everything alright?" Jongho asked and went forward to grab his hands.
But Seonghwa flinched harshly, which resulted in him falling to the floor. His back made contact with the floor and whimpered.
He backed away as far as possible from them. They are the same. They are all the same. There is no way they are different.
They will want him to repay them. They will touch him in places that he does not want. They will want him to do things he is not comfortable.
"Seonghwa.."
"No. Don't come closer. Please don't touch me" The human had found a corner in the room, and managed to make himself into a little ball, covering himself with his hands.
"Dont touch me, please. I don't want to"
Yeosang made unsure steps forward, and kneeled in front of him.
"Why are you doing this? What do you want?" He asked, noone in particular.
"Seonghwa, please calm down. We don't want anything from you" Jongho said, sitting next Yeosang.
"That's not possible. You can't be doing this for free. You want something" He said, louder this time, tears running down his cheeks.
"Seonghwa" Yeosang said but the human didn't hear him.
So he took matters into his own hands. He moved closely and wrapped his arms around the boy.
Seonghwa hit him with all his might, trying to get away from him. But Yeosang wouldn't budge, he was stronger than the boy anyway.
Seonghwa after some time stopped fighting, and stood there, crying into Yeosang neck. The sobs that left his mouth were heart breaking, and the two demons almost teared at the sight of the trembling boy.
Hearing this commotion, Mingi and Yunho made their way to the kitchen, only for them to witness the sad sight.
Jongho gestured for them to be quiet, letting the boy relax.
"What do you want from me?" Seonghwa kept mumbling into Yeosang's neck, the tears from his eyes staining his shirt.
"The only thing we want Seonghwa, is to help you. To see you happy"
"No. No one wanted me to be like that. So why would you?"
"Because, as you remember, we are demons not humans"
