The Devil's Angel (ATEEZ San)

7. CHANGED BEHAVIOR

Cheonsa's

As we got home, I invited him inside.

"I don't want to bother you."

"Please, I need you to stay. Besides, I don't think I can sleep 'cause I'll probably overthink about tomorrow."

He stepped inside and followed my lead to the living room.

"You know my room; wait for me inside. I'll grab us some food." I told him and he nodded, following my instructions.

"What other powers do you have?" I asked him after we settled ourselves on my bed.

"I can be invisible, read minds, teleport and fly."

"Do the other ATEEZ members know what you truly are?"

He nodded. "They are my brothers." I gasped and he smirked at my reaction. "We had to change our surnames so it won't be obvious. Being an idol is what we want but being a devil is our obligation, our destiny."

I nod as I intake the information. "Will you tell me more about you?"

"We have the power to change our form, a demon and a more human-like forms but our demon form appears unconsciously when we can't control our feelings and during the night. When we control, we exhaust ourselves, causing us to need sleep."

I stared at him. What does he look like in his demon form?

"I'll show you how I look," he said then he stood up.

His back was facing me and he started to breath harder. I anticipated until smoke comes out of his body. He revealed his black wings. When he turned around, I saw his horns just above his forehead and his orbs were pure black. I was scared for a moment even though I was attracted at his appearance. Thankfully, his eyes were not black anymore but his horns and wings are still there.

"Are you scared?" He asked carefully.

I nod my head, "yes but you're beautiful." I told him and he smirked.

"You're the second person to say that in my demon form," he said which caused me to get curious. "Who is the first one? Your mother?"

Silence.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay," he was wearing a sad smile. I wonder what her mother looks like; is she as evil as him? "No, it's not my mother. Actually, I don't know who my mother is."

"Any ideas?" He shook his head. I turned my body to fully take a look at him, "I hope someday you'll get to know her."

My smile turned upside down when I remember the past images of my memories with my mother.

"Are you okay?" I looked back at him and gave him a smile, "yes."

We spent the night talking to each other on my bed. Mostly, I'm the one talking about Mr. Park and my brother.

"To put it simply, my brother does all the bad things for me but I tell him not to continue it because it's wrong."

"But he still does it because he wants to protect you," he continued and I nodded.

Silence covered us minutes later. I yawned then I felt my eyelids getting heavy.

"You should sleep. You don't have your brother anymore to protect you later." I agreed to him with a nod.

He stood up on the bed and went back to his human form while I laid myself within the covers.

"San," I called after he opened the window, "thanks for staying with me tonight." He gave me a smirk and disappeared after he closed the window.
