House of the Nefarious

Chapter 12

"You looked like you were sleeping like a rock, but those eye bags say otherwise," Suho mused, taking in my ragged appearance.

"Aww Seoyeon you didn't sleep well?" Jimin made a move to squish my face, and even in my tired state I evaded his grasp.

"I'm fine," I grumbled, pushing the sleep out of my eyes. It felt like I was only with Yoongi for a few minutes, but apparently I was wherever I was for 7 hours.

"You look like shit," a new voice piped up.

I sighed. "Yes, I've been notified."

Namjoon shot me an awkward smile. "Sorry."

"And I thought I was the one who stayed up playing STB all night," Jungkook cackled.

JImin made a move to hug me muttering how he's sorry I'm being bullied. This time I wasn't fast enough and I could feel myself flattening into a pancake.

"That's enough you idiots, Minhyuk wants to play a game before we leave," Seokjin explained, with a pointed glare.

Jimin's lips fell into a childish frown and he reluctantly let me go.

We followed Seokjin into the main hall where Minhyuk was waiting with a ball in hand.

He grinned upon our arrival and I felt uneasy at the appalled expressions on the others faces.

"You have decided on quick ball?" Joohyun asked, shooting him a look.

"Yes, I thought it might be a nice way to end off your stay in my home," he mused, spinning the ball on his index finger.

But was it even a ball? I squinted at the circular object momentarily shocked when I realized it was actually one of the blob demons. It had compressed itself into a black orb.

"We've all heard the rumors, Suho spat. "The last creature to play that game with you was crippled for the rest of their days."

"Well that was a lesser demon of course, I'm sure one of the seven heavenly virtues would have no problem. Especially diligence."

Suho looked like he was about to retaliate but Joohyun placed a warning hand on his forearm.

"We would be honored too," she responded with a tight lipped smile.

I could feel the tension in the air and I refrained from shuddering. I never thought I'd see a passive aggressive battle between angels and demons.

"Let's begin then, Seokjin muttered, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "I suggest you sit this one out Seoyeon, it isn't exactly human friendly."

I mock saluted before making my way over to the corner farthest away from what I assumed to be basketball of death. I did not want any part in that.

I made myself comfy and Sushi climbed onto my knee to watch the action.

They split into two teams, the angels, Namjoon and Jimin on one side and the others on the opposing team.

"Guests get first ball," Minhyuk stated, chucking the blob demon to Joohyun.

"Be careful with Kihyun."

Wow he even named the demon that was about to get abused.

I watched as Joonhyun gave the black orb a solid bounce before using her arm like a baseball bat to propel it towards Jungkook.

If my mouth wasn't already agape it definitely was now because he just used his head to send the ball straight at Yerim who was knocked back into the wall with a resounding thud. She got up unbothered by the huge dent in the wall caused by her impact.
