"Mother, I did the chores like you told me!" seokjin smiles widely as he waits for his mother's reaction when all he got were eye rolls. His smile instantly faltered.
"Seriously? That's it? Did you prepare food for your brother?"
"But mother.. he's old enough.."
"So what!? He's my son so you have to take care of him always." she yells causing for seokjin to shut his eyes.
"I'm sorry, mother." seokjin runs to the fridge, hoping to find some food to cook buy to his luck, there was none. He sighed, rummaging his pocket if he had any money left. 100 won. Enough for a ramen, but he knew the elder wouldn't like noodles only. He couldn't approach his mother knowing she'd cuss at him again or maybe beat him up to a pulp again.
So he ran to where his brother is, to find him playing his game. "Hyung, I will go buy food for you at the store but all I can afford his ramen."
"What the fuck? I didn't ask mom to adopt you to give me a ramen to eat. If anything, buy me sushi."
Seokjin bit his lower lip, suppressing his tears. "But hyung, I don't have enough money.."
"Why not ask that old fag huh? She has tons of gold from her sugar grandpa. Even better, just ask him. He's downstairs anyways."
Seokjin's breath hitched. He didn't want to. He didn't like that man. But nevertheless, he complied and headed to where the man is. Once he saw the man, his small figure tensed and his fingers played with the hem of his shirt. "Sir.. I have to go buy food for hyung, is i-it okay if you give me some? I don't have enough money." he gulped when the man turned around and chuckled. "Of course, pretty boy."
Seokjin kept his gaze below as the man eyed him from head to toe. Even with a rag for clothing, he still looked ethereal. The man soon handed him 100,000 won. It was more than enough for a pack of sushi his brother wanted. He bowed politely and left the house.
He regretted not taking an extra clothing to cover himself from the cold softly blowing onto his skin. He caught a glimpse of the small store as he sped up his pace when he heard footsteps behind him. His breath hitch as he turned around only to have his eyes widen. He rushed his feet, huffing when the footsteps did the same. His throat went dry when the man slammed him on the wall at an empty alley, "P-please.. I don't have money with me.." he lied, he didn't want to disappoint his mother.
The man only chuckled, "You and I both know thats not what I want," he smirked as seokjin could only stiffen in fear, "Your soul is too savory for me to let you go," seokjin tried to fight him but he knew it was all pointless in fighting a demon.
Before the male leans in, he was abruptly pulled back. The demon was about to fight back when he took a glimpse of the male, he struggled on his feet and scampered away like a cat once he had made contact with the man's eyes.
"You..."
"It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you."
He carries seokjin in his arms who yelped at the action. Seokjin stared into the beauty of the demon and tilted his head, "It was you wasn't it?"
"Taetae?"
The male smiled, "I'm surprised you still remember." he placed seokjin on his bed. Seokjin gasped but he realized he must've used his powers to teleport here, "Of course, I do. You were only my friend back then.. when I told you to my mother, she got scared and moved houses because she thought I was crazy, I didn't see you again after. Where were you tae?"
"I went far away, jinnie. Had to study for college and now I'm working. I'm sorry if I kept you waiting."
"You're not leaving me back again, right?"
"Of course, baby." taehyung stares into his innocent glassy eyes. He knew he couldn't. He shouldn't even. It was too dangerous but he wanted to protect seokjin even he had to kill him.
Seokjin evidently gasped once he realized the money in his tight grasp. "I-I need to buy sushi for hyung.. I need to go.. he's gonna be mad." before he even gets up, taehyung disappeared with the money and came back with the pack of sushi in his hand and the change in his other in a blink. Seokjin smiled happily and held the pack as he ran outside, heading to his brother's room. "Hyung! I got y-your food."
The male grabbed it and pushed him until he was outside the room. " Yeah yeah, thanks." then the door shut in front of him. Seokjin stared at the door and sighed but smiled.
Again, with another mask and all taehyung could do was stare from afar as his heart break for the male he fell for.
