Sins Apart | ONEUS

Chapter 7✨

Seoho didn't know what had happened, but he became the talk of the school overnight. All eyes were on him the moment he stepped into the building, but nobody dared to approach him. He heard his name was brought up in many conversations as he walked to his locker, some even let out a laugh in those conversations.

"Why is everyone talking about me?" He whispered to Hwanwoong when they had reached their lockers. Hwanwoong shook his head side to side, having no clue of the situation either.

They walked in silence as they made their way to their first period, PE. Seoho tried to look as normal as he could be, glancing to the side a few times when he heard his name. He was not used to this kind of attention, he didn't even know why they were talking about him. Maybe someone made a nasty rumour about him, he thought. He decided to just brush it off if that was the case.

"Hey soccer boy, can't wait to see what you have in store for us today!" Just great, this day had gotten even worse for Seoho. He kept his gaze straight, ignoring the demon's mockery.

"What do you mean?" Hwanwoong who was beside him asked, eyes full of innocence. Keonhee smirked at this, glancing at the angel mischievously.

He pulled out his new PearPhone 11 Pro out of his pocket, swiping its screen as if he was searching for something. He then turned his phone to the two angels, playing a video on the screen. It was a recording of the soccer match on the previous day. The video showed the part when Seoho had missed the goal and the ball hit his head instead.

"Why are you showing me this?" Seoho asked furiously, hands clutched tightly on his sides.

"I posted this yesterday on insta, have fun being famous." At this point Seoho was convinced, Keonhee's only objective in life was to make his life miserable. Keonhee then left the two of them while laughing happily.

"Calm down, you'll get to lash out your anger on him later. I heard we're practicing dodgeball today," Hwanwoong said, cheering Seoho up. Seoho smiled, he had a plan ready to get back at Keonhee.

The dodgeball practice didn't exactly follow the normal playing rules since it was just to practice throwing, the teacher reasoned. This meant they had unlimited hits and no one was going to be out. He had to make sure Keonhee wouldn't want to mess with him again after today, or make him walk out from the gymnasium full of bruises. Either way was fine if he couldn't have both.

The class had been separated into two teams. Each one standing on each side of the field. Seoho decided to stand in the front, ready to aim at Keonhee who was put on the other team. Seoho was sure that he was at an advantage since he was more athletic than the other. He smirked as soon as he saw that Keonhee was placed not far from him, making him an easy target.

PRIIITT!!

The teacher was blowing into the whistle and Seoho was more than ready to start the game. The ball that was previously on his hand flew towards the tall blue head. Headshot. He smirked, it might be useless in the real game, but that wasn't in his agenda anyway. Keonhee managed to still be standing despite the powerful impact he had just received on his temple. Seoho then grabbed the nearest ball he could reach and threw it at him again. It hit him right in the stomach.

At the end of the game, Keonhee's body was almost full of various bruises caused by Seoho. Seoho managed to throw the ball at Keonhee 90% of the time. He wasn't sure whether it was because he had a good accuracy or Keonhee just sucked at dodging. He didn't care much about the reason, his mission was to mess with Keonhee and he had accomplished that.

"Those bruises look good on you," Seoho complimented once they got to the changing room.

"I bet they would look better on you," Keonhee retorted, unhappy about what Seoho had done and said to him.

"I'd like to see you try," Seoho said as he scanned Keonhee's figure from head to toe. He doubted Keonhee would actually be able to physically hurt him.

Hearing that, Keonhee pushed Seoho against the lockers, causing a loud bang to echo through the room. The whole room went silent, all attention went to them. The two of them didn't say a word, they just glared at each other intensely. Keonhee's grip on his shoulders tighten, nails starting to dig into Seoho's skin.

"What are you going to do, punch me?" Seoho challenged, not a single cell in his body was afraid of what Keonhee would do next.

"Seoho!" Hwanwoong who was watching all of this exclaimed. It was quite unusual for him to see Seoho being irrational and this wasn't a good time for that. He could be seriously injured if Keonhee decided to use his powers on him, but Seoho knew well enough to know that Keonhee wouldn't recklessly blow his cover in a crowded place like here.

Keonhee leaned in to Seoho's ear and whispered something to him. As he pulled away, he chuckled while Seoho's face went sour, hands clutched tightly on his sides as his knuckles slowly turned white. It seemed like Seoho despised whatever Keonhee said with every inch of his body.

"Keep this attitude up and you'll regret it," Keonhee warned, letting go of Seoho's shoulders after that.

"I do what I want." The other students went back to whatever they were doing, pretending nothing had happened. Hwanwoong stared at Seoho, upset that he had stirred up trouble with the demon. Seoho shrugged, not giving a single damn about it. He could also use his powers if Keonhee decided to show his true form, Keonhee wasn't too much for him to handle. He had fought with various demons and monsters in his lifetime, surely he was experienced enough to combat that pesky demon.
