The demons left Seonghwas room, after realising that the human wouldn't talk to them. And they didn't know why.
They didn't want to pressure him any further, or to stress him more, so they left him.
"Did we do something?" Yeosang asked confused, trying to remember if they had done something to upset the human.
"I don't remember. We were fine this past time" Hongjoong replied, feeling confused as well.
"Maybe he is just having one those days you know. He has done it again. Maybe we should give him space" Mingi said, trying to find a solution. It really worried him seeing their pup like this, but he didn't know what else to do.
"Why do I feel like this time it's different?" Wooyoung questioned.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that, maybe he is not having one of those days. Maybe he feels something else. I could sence something strange, his emotions were confusing. I could sence something romantical? I don't know"
The others looked at him deep in though. Truth is that, Wooyoung was the only one who could sence those types of feelings, seeing that he was that specific demon.
They trusted him on this part. But this only made them more worried. Why would he feel like this?
Yunho was the one that understood the situation faster than anyone. He quickly remembered what he had told him that day, about him liking all of them.
But why would he feel like this? It's not like they had rejected him or anything. On the contrary, they loved him dearly and wanted nothing more than to be with him.
Yunho didn't tell that to the rest. He wanted to speak with Seonghwa privately, to see if this was actually true. He didn't want to worry the rest of the demons.

The day passed, night came and Seonghwa hadn't left his room. He stayed there, under the blankets.
At some point, he fell asleep, but that didn't last long. Nightmares started again and he couldn't relax.
He took the blanket over him, only to see that the sky was dark, stars twinkling.
His stomach was hurting from not having eaten anything, but he passed past it.
He was about to stand up to go to the toilet, but the opening of the door stopped him.
Yunho stood there, more like his head. He was peeking inside, looking at Seonghwa with a soft expression.
"Can I come in?" He asked and Seonghwa didn't react. It's not like he didn't want to speak, but he was frozed on his spot.
He nodded his head after some time, seeing the giant walk inside, closing the door.
"What do you want?" Seonghwa whispered, looking intensely at him.
"I just wanted to keep you company. Is that OK?"
The human nodded again.
"Make yourself comfortable. I'll be right back" He said and went to the bathroom of his room.
He closed the door and after he was finished, he looked himself in the mirror.
He didn't like what he saw but he couldn't do much. He splashed some water to it, maybe it could help him look less than a dead person.
Once he walked out, Yunho was laying on his bed, facing the ceiling. By the sound of the door, he quickly turned his head to look at him. He gestured for the boy to come and lay next to him.
Seonghwa did as he was told, and the demon grabbing his waist brought him closer.
Seonghwa, even though he was a little skeptical at first, snuggled closer to Yunho, enjoying the warmth of his body.
A kiss on his forehead made him relax, listening the rhythmic breath of the demon.
"What did you wanna talk about?"
"I think you already know pup"
Seonghwas heart started beating faster hearing that. Of course he would have wanted to talk about this.
"I don't want to talk about this Yunho"
"Pup, we can't help you if you don't want to talk about this"
"Who said that I wanted help?" The human said rather rude, and quickly regretted it.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound like that. Sorry"
"It's alright, don't worry. I'm not mad" Yunho said, rubbing his hands up and down his back.
Silence. Just a moment of it. Seonghwa was so lost in his thoughts. He didn't know if he should tell Yunho what was bothering him, or this would be just a stupid reason.
"If I told you what's bothering me, do you promise to not get mad or laugh?"
Yunho was confused at that. Why would he feel like that? Were things that serious?
"I promise Seonghwa. You don't have to worry" The giant said, kissing his head.
OK then. Here goes nothing.
"Well, I kinda don't know how I feel at this point. I mean, it's not like I stopped have feelings for you, it's just that.. I'm a burden to you. It's clear that you like each other and, how should I put it, I'm not fitting in. You're great on your own, you don't need me. I'm nothing, you shouldn't have felt that way about me in the first place. I.."
But he wasn't able to finish. Yunho had enough of this talking, which was nonsense, so he bent down, kissing Seonghwa on the lips.
The human froze completely. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know that Yunho would do something like this.
He didn't react at all. Even when Yunho got away, he just blinked his eyes.
"Seonghwa, I hope that you don't believe those words that you're saying"
"No Yunho. I really mean it. I saw you this morning, how you were all sleeping on the couch together. I.. I don't fit in. I have my own problems, which you shouldn't engage.." Seonghwa tried to say.
"Pup, look at me" Yunho said, making Seonghwa lift his gaze, which was previously on his lap.
"There is no way, and I mean no way, that we would ever feel this way about you. We love you, you need to understand that. I get why you feel like this but, we definitely not. All we want is to be with you, to make you happy. We are not, burdened as you said, and I really hate that word"
"How can you say those things so easy Yunho? You don't know me. You don't know me at all"
"Then let us know you. Seonghwa, we are not like the people who treated you like that. And what you had been through, doesn't effect us. We won't see you differently or try to pressure you. We want to make you forget and focus on the things that matter right now"
Seonghwa only kept quiet. He didn't know what to say. Like always. He wanted to tell him that, it's not like, he didn't want to warm up to them. That noone was doing this to him. He, himself, was the one who always stayed back. That was one thing that the demons could not change his mind about.
He tried to wriggled away from the strong grip Yunho had, but that didn't happen. The demon brought him even closer, refusing to let go.
"Yunho please leave me"
"Seonghwa please, don't push us away"
Was he doing that? He didn't know. Just the tone of Yunho's voice, made him guilty. But he couldn't do anything.
"I think you should leave" Seonghwa said whispering. He couldn't do this now. He was already stressed and he didn't have the mind to actually answer to Yunho.
The giant understood quickly and obligated to the boy's wish. Though he didn't want to leave him, he did as he was told.
He unwrapped his hand from Seonghwa, and without saying a word or touching him, he went out the door.
"Don't do this to yourself Seonghwa" Was the only thing he said, before closing the the door behind him.
