San left Seonghwa alone in the room, though he didn't want to. He didn't want for Seonghwa to be alone at this moment, but he also didn't want to make him uncomfortable.

Walking down the stairs to meet the rest of the demons, he saw looks of curiosity, waiting to be told what happened.

San closed his eyes and started showing the demons what had happened. They all could see San's memories and were furious beyond themselves.

"Where are they now?" Hongjoong said, his voice scarily low. His eyes started to change colour, but he controlled himself.

"Some got away. Wooyoung is taking care of one" San said emotionless, his heart beating faster due to anger.

"We should go and find them, they can't get away.."

"Mingi, not now. Not when Seonghwa needs us more than ever. But don't worry. They won't be safe for much longer" Hongjoong said, smirking, already planning on what they would do to them.

Yeosang was the one, that after some time, made his way to Seonghwas room. He gently knocked on the door and when he heard nothing, he opened it.

Seonghwa wasn't in bed, so he assumed that he was still in the bath. Walking towards the door, he opened it slightly, peeking his head inside.

He saw the human inside the tub, curled up into a ball. He slowly approached him, making sure he didn't startle him.

Seonghwa, only then lifted his head, to reveal his bloodshot eyes to the demon. He felt like he didn't have the energy to cry anymore. He felt so empty inside. Everything was going from bad to worse.

"Seonghwa.." The demon said quietly, and kneeled in front of the tub. He slowly brought his hand to Seonghwas face, brushing a few strands of wet hair away from the humans face.

Seonghwa didn't move at all. He was still as a statue. He blankly stared at his knees, trying to block the images in his head.

"I'm sorry" Was what he managed to say after some time.

Yeosang stayed quiet and softly brought his hands through the boy's hair to calm him.

"There is nothing to say sorry about sweetheart"

Seonghwa turned to look Yeosang, his eyes getting glassy again.

"Can I hug you please? I don't want to be alone"

The demons eyes frowned at that, giving the human a sad smile.

"You don't ask for things like those Seonghwa. If you want to hug me, do it" The demon said, and opened his arms.

Seonghwa didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around his body, burying his face to his neck.

Yeosang completely ignored the fact that he was drenched with water because of Seonghwa, and tried to calm the human.

Seonghwa hadn't moved for some time, making Yeosang think that he had fallen asleep.

But hearing the soft cries of the human, made him hug him tightly.

He didn't want to say something that would trigger the human, like what had happened outside, so he stayed quiet, whispering comforting words into Seonghwas ear.

"It's OK pup. It's over now. Noone is going to hurt you. We are here"

But those words, instead of calming the human, made him cry even more. He couldn't believe that after this time of avoiding them, they still acted like that.

"You should be hating me, not comforting me"

"Why would we do that pup? You didn't do anything"

"I pushed you away. All you were trying to do was make me feel better and I just distanced myself" Seonghwa said, and tried to get away from Yeosang's grip. But the demon didn't let him.

"Seonghwa, what you did was completely normal. That was a lot to take in, and you wanted some time for yourself. We are not angry or mad at you me. We understand why you did it"

"That doesn't justify why I acted like that"

Yeosang kept strocking the boy's back, in an attempt to calm him. And it seemed like it worked.

Seonghwas crying reduced to only sniffles. His heart beat was getting back to normal.

"I'm sorry again"

Yeosang slowly brought them apart, and stared down at Seonghwa. The humans beautiful face stood out, his red and puffy eyes, his flushed cheeks, his pink and full lips.

He brought his face up and down, admiringly the boy's features. Seonghwa was so beautiful, the demon had to tell. He hadn't encountered such beauty given to a human. But it seemed like Seonghwa had it.

His gaze was mostly focused on Seonghwas lips, images flowing in his head on what he could do.

He lifted his eyes, only to see Seonghwas deep blush, staring at him. And he couldn't control himself.

"Can I kiss you Seonghwa?" The demon asked, doing a brave move for asking that. Yeosang was sure that the human would say no, so he prepared himself. But nothing like this happened.

Instead, the human nodded his head, coming closer to Yeosang's face.

"Please.." He whispered, and Yeosang didn't need to hear it twice.

He brought their faces together, and softly and gently placed his lips on his. He cupped the boy's face ever so featherly. Seonghwa was someone so fragile and valuable, one wrong move and he would break.

Seonghwas lips were so soft against his, much fuller than his own. He loved it. If he was given the opportunity he would kiss this lips all day.

His heart hammered against his ribcage, and he could feel how Seonghwas heart picked its pace. The human shivered, clearly enjoying it.

The lack of oxygen was the only think that made them stop. They didn't want to. Seonghwa was so immersed in the kiss, he loved it.

They both started into each other's eyes, Seonghwas sparkling after the kiss.

It seemed to him that, whatever black cloud was in his mind, it slowly started to disperse, leaving him with a smile on his face.

Yeosang had surely an effect on him, the demon was able to calm him down.

"How are you feeling Seonghwa?"

"Much better. Thank you" The human said, and moved, to capture Yeosang's lips to his once more.
