Sins Apart | ONEUS

Chapter 19✨

"So you went to their house yesterday?" Youngjo asked to the tall demon sitting next to him.

Keonhee grimaced. Youngjo had his palms rested underneath his jaw and made the infamous puppy eyes expression. He tried to look like a cute child who was begging for a story time, except he wasn't cute in Keonhee's eyes.

"Please get that off your face," Keonhee pleaded as he continued to eat the chips Youngjo bought for him yesterday.

"Can't we visit them today too?" Youngjo leaned back until his back was comfortably rested against the couch. He was persistent in pestering Keonhee so he could see his dear Hwanwoong again. If Keonhee was able to visit Seoho yesterday, he should be allowed to do the same today.

"Go by yourself," Keonhee replied harshly.

"We might get free food," Youngjo begged with a wide grin on his face. Youngjo knew Keonhee was easily bribed with food. But contrary to what he expected, Keonhee fake gagged instead.

"Sorry, but I'm not ready to try out any eccentric food today. I don't trust that man's cooking skill," Keonhee said as he pried Youngjo's grip off his arm.

"I'll pay for your after school meal for the one week!" Youngjo offered, nodding excitedly when he saw Keonhee considering his deal.

"Fine," Keonhee let out in defeat. "But no price limits, okay?"

Youngjo continued to nod in excitement as he took the bag of chips from the male's hand and pulled him up from his seat. He was thrilled at the fact that he was going to meet Hwanwoong today and he wasn't going to waste anymore time. The sooner he got to meet the angel, the better.

Keonhee on the other hand, wasn't too excited to go to the angels' residence. To tell the truth, he would rather spend a day locked in his room than be forced to put up with Seoho's horrible attitude. At least Youngjo should let him bring his chips while he waited for food to be made.

Knock! Knock!

The demons were already in front of the angels' apartment, waiting for the house owners to open the door for them. One of them was so enthusiastic, he could die from excitement, while the other just wanted to get it over as soon as possible.

"Youngjo?" Hwanwoong asked, surprised, once he had opened the door for the two demons.

"Can we come in?" Youngjo asked, displaying the warmest smile he could make. Hwanwoong glanced up to Youngjo, Keonhee, and back to Youngjo, still shocked at their sudden visit.

"Just let us in," Keonhee who grew impatient decided to take matters into his own hands and let himself in without waiting for the host's response any longer. He immediately went to their kitchen to sit on the counter, leaving both his friend and Hwanwoong standing at the front door.

Hwanwoong looked up to Youngjo again, now even more confused.

"Can't we just give you a friendly visit? We are neighbours after all," Youngjo tried to reason, patting Hwanwoong's head before he also let himself in.

Seoho who was previously watching tv and playing his phone simultaneously in peace was not happy that two demons just broke into his house, creating an unwanted disturbance.

"What do you want?" He glared at the tall demon who had no manners, thinking it was okay to barge into someone's house and act like he owned the building.

"Food," Keonhee boldly answered. He thought Seoho should've known he wouldn't faze at his cold gaze nor his deadly glares, he would only imitate Seoho's action, but with a different intensity.

"No, I'm not going to cook for someone who can't appreciate fine dining," Seoho refused, he was still greatly hurt from Keonhee's comment yesterday. He went back to his phone, trying as best as he could to ignore the demon.

Keonhee turned to Hwanwoong, still not giving up on finding something to eat.

"Food," he repeated in a demanding tone.

Hwanwoong instantly walked to the kitchen as he felt intimidated by the aura Keonhee emitted. He ran back-and-forth between the counters and shelves, his hands occasionally fidgeting with the handles. He tried to think of something to cook, but unfortunately cooking wasn't his specialty.

He took out some uncooked rice and a cooking pot from the shelves. Keonhee who was watching Hwanwoong carefully started to get suspicious, surely there should be at least one person in this household that could cook and at that moment he hoped it wasn't Geonhak. There was no need for him to cook the rice with a pot since they already had a rice cooker and it was placed right in front of him.

"Just let me handle this," Keonhee sighed in annoyance. He made sure to take a mental note to never visit them ever again unless Geonhak was home or it was guaranteed that they would be having take-outs.

Keonhee looked around the kitchen and had an amazing idea. He watched a lot of cooking videos the other night and was determined to make something even Gordon Ramsay would be proud of.

After being harshly kicked out of the kitchen, Hwanwoong decided to go back to the living room to continue watching the drama that was on tv. But to his dismay, Youngjo had already switched the channel to some crappy channel called NetM.

Not wanting to cause a scene, Hwanwoong just accepted his luck and went to take the empty seat between Youngjo and Seoho. As he was passing by Youngjo, he carelessly bumped his foot against the foot of their coffee table.

Hwanwoong had accepted his fate. As he had his eyes glued to the ground, he would gracefully fall onto the floor, his face to be the first to reach his destination and his slow reflexes wouldn't help him a single bit.

But to his surprise, his face didn't hit the floor. He could see with his own two eyes there was still distance between his perfectly angled nose and the carpeted floor. It only occurred to him that someone had caught him when the distance had grown larger, someone was lifting him up and that someone was Youngjo. Youngjo had his arms securely wrapped around Hwanwoong's waist.

"I know you're slowly falling for me, but please don't hurt yourself in the process, okay?" Youngjo whispered into Hwanwoong's ear in a sweet tone. Hwanwoong pursed his lips and eyes still fixated on the floor, he hadn't finished processing what had happened. He also hadn't realised that he was now sitting on the demon's lap.

The unbothered angel who was sitting on the other side of the couch finally looked away from his phone to see what his friend had landed himself into. He could clearly see that Youngjo was definitely taking advantage of the situation.
