"Get your filthy hands off of him" A deep and scary voice was heard.

Seonghwa widened his eyes at the voice, understanding immediately who it was.

The grips on his hands quickly disappeared, so did the guy on top of him.

Seonghwa saw as the body was thrown forcefully on a tree and a body came on top of him beating the man.

Shadows came from behind trees and got closer to Seonghwa. The human calmed only a little, seeing who they were and immediately hugged them.

"Shh pup. Everything is fine" Just hearing his voice after all this time, made Seonghwa burst into crying again.

Flashes of what could've happened came to his mind, but tried to push them away. The hands around his body was making him calm, the warmth of the demon relaxing him.

"Wooyoung.." The human said and kept sobbing on his shoulder.

"Deep breaths sweetheart. Take deep breaths"

Seonghwa did what the demon told him, trying to even his breathing. He tried listening to Wooyoung's heartbeat, to help him even more.

"There you are Seonghwa. Don't worry. I'm here. No one is going to hurt you" Wooyoung said and turned his face to look at San.

The demon's eyes were flaming red, black claws and teeth protruding. The hits he delivered to the boy were enough to leave him unconscious but not kill him.

Though San really wanted nothing else but to end his life. To watch his soul leave his body, to drain him off his blood. He couldn't control himself right now.

It was becoming late and the demons were getting worried for Seonghwa being out at this hour, so they sent Wooyoung and San to search for him. And they weren't pleased when they saw what was happening.

"San please stop I think that's enough" Wooyoung said, trying to have San stop. Their pup was shaking, and needed their help.

San hearing Wooyoung's voice, relaxed, and started to change back. His eyes were their soft brown and made his way to where the human was standing.

San kneeled in front of them, bringing the two in for a hug. He placed a kiss on the human side forehead, whispering reassuring words.

"San, I think you should take Seonghwa home"He said looking at the demon.

Seonghwa didn't speak, but he didn't have an objection. The two demons helped him to his feet.

San wiped the tears of Seonghwas eyes, kissing the top of his head. Seonghwa wrapped his hands around the demon, not wanting to be alone at this moment.

"What will you do Wooyoung?"

"Oh, I'll just give him a taste of his own medicine" The demon said, his own eyes flashing red.

San immediately knew what Wooyoung was going to do, and made sure to take Seonghwa out of there as soon as possible.

What would have happened if they weren't there?

~~~~

Seonghwa was trembling to San's embrace, too shocked to even speak. His mind was glued to what happened just minutes ago, making his body numb.

If San and Wooyoung weren't there, he couldn't begin to imagine what would have happened.

"Seonghwa.." The demon said quietly. Seonghwa was spaced out. He knew what the boy was thinking, and wanted to bring him out of his thoughts.

"Why me?" Seonghwa said after a while, looking at San with glassy eyes.

"Sweetheart..."

"Why does this always happen to me? What did I do wrong to deserve this?" He said, the tears running down his cheeks again.

San didn't know what to say. He had no idea what would make Seonghwa calm down at this point.

The house was in front of them, so San quickly opened the door, bringing them inside.

In just seconds, the rest of the demons came to see what happened. They didn't expect to see San holding a crying Seonghwa. Something was wrong.

Seonghwa could see the worried expression on their faces, feeling guilty and more hurt. He couldn't face them right now.

San seeing that their pup was uncomfortable, told the rest to wait.

He made his way into Seonghwas room, and placed him gently on the bed, going to the bathroom to ran a bath. Anything that would calm the shaking human.

The water was warm enough, so San let Seonghwa alone.

"Pup, take a bath please. It will help you" He said softly, kissing his forehead.

Seonghwa just nodded and did as he was told. San left him alone. And Seonghwa didn't know if he liked it or not.

He wanted to be alone, because he didn't want to bother the rest. But on the other hand he wanted someone to get him distracted, because he knew that it was inevitable to start thinking. And it never ended well.

Despite his constant thinking, he took off his clothes and let himself inside the tub.

The warm water made contact with with his skin, making him relax for a moment. He took a sponge from nearby and putting some soap on it, he started rubbing his skin vigorously, trying to get what happened off of him.

He could still feel the hands that touched him, and in places that he didn't want to. He would never have imagined that he was gonna have a same experience.

He scrubbed and scrubbed until his skin was red and irritated. He felt disgusted with himself.

He didn't know what he did to deserve all this. He just wanted to live a normal life, away from the danger and being taken advantage of. But it seemed that he couldn't.

Tears started again forming on his eyes and made no attempt to stop them. He couldn't do this anymore.

He felt so weak, so powerless. He wasn't even able to defend himself. He just let it happen.

His knees were glued to his chest, his face buried in them, muffling the sobs that raked his body.
