The room was silent for a moment. Noone moved, noone talked. The demons tried to process what Seonghwa had said, not quite yet believing him.
Did Seonghwa actually wanted this? Was he serious? And he really didn't hesitate?
Seonghwa gazed at every demon in the room, seeing their skeptical looks. He knew that, what he said and asked was difficult. Because he had no idea how the rest would react.
He waited patiently, trying to see their reaction, even a move from them. But there was none. Everyone seemed to be deep in thought.
Maybe he shouldn't have said that. Maybe the rest felt burdened by this. He was talking nonsense. There was no way that the demons would want something like this with him.
But what was happening with the demons was exactly the opposite. They felt happy that Seonghwa trusted them with something so serious, but yet again, they didn't know what to say.
Should they just say yes? But they felt like they would take advantage of him. But if they say no? Would Seonghwa want this? Was it gonna affect him?
There was so many questions, that noone knew the answer.
"Seonghwa.." Wooyoung started to say.
"Yes?" The boy answered almost immediately, nervous that at least someone spoke.
The demom smiled sadly at him, and offered him his hand.
"Follow me. I wanna talk to you"
Seonghwas heart was beating erratically fast, but placed his hand on the demons. The two moved away from the bed, leaving the rest of the demons.
"We'll be right back" Wooyoung said to the rest and they nodded their head understandably.
The demon took Seonghwa out of the room, taking his slippers and jacket that were near them. They walked down the stairs and eventually out the house, to the garden.
Seonghwa wore his slippers and jacket, and followed the demon. He had no idea what Wooyoung wanted to tell him. He guessed that it had something to do with what he said.
The wind outside was chilly, making Seonghwa wrap the jacket closer to him. But Wooyoung was also there. And he was more than happy to bring Seonghwa in his arms, providing extra warmth.
The two walked side by side for some time, Seonghwa trying to control his beating heard.
"You... Wanted to tell me something. He said hesitantly"
"Yeah I did. And I assume you know for what" Wooyoung said sweetly, not to scare him.
The boy nodded and waited for the demon to speak. It didn't take long. They found a bench, and sitting on it, Wooyoung took a deep breath.
"Tell me, sweetheart, what does love mean to you?"
Seonghwa was taken aback by the question. He didn't expect that kind of conversation. He hesitated to answer. What was he supposed to say anyway? He took some time, thinking on what he was going to say.
"Umm, I mean, love for me is, what you show me" He said after some time.
"The way you care about me, the way you take care of me, the way you're all by my side when I need it. That's what love is for me" He finished and looked at Wooyoung, a small smile on his face.
Wooyoung nodded, bringing Seonghwa closer.
"Do you trust us?"
"Of course I do Woo. I trust you more than anything" He said rather quickly. But it was true.
