"You guys know each other?" Yeosang asked, Mingi nodded along.
"Well, kinda.. He was one of my clients as well." Yunho said as he scratched his head.
"Yeah, Yunho-hyung helped my a lot." Jongho smiled happily, bringing Yunho in for a quick hug.
"Oh, I'm glad to hear that!" Yeosang exclaimed and pulled them to their table.
Yunho kept stealing glances at Jongho during the dinner, and it didn't fail to rile up Mingi's curiosity. Meanwhile Jongho and Yeosang were enjoying and chatting happily throughout the whole gathering.
Mingi tugged on the hem of Yunho's shirt under the table, earning Yunho's attention, "Yun, can I talk to you for a sec in the bathroom?"
Mingi didn't wait for Yunho's response and headed to the bathroom. After a few minutes, Yunho entered the bathroom, "What's wrong?"
Mingi shot Yunho an 'Are you serious?' look. "Why do keep staring at Jongho? Is there something bothering you?"
Yunho widen his eyes and quickly shook his head, "No no no no babe, no, it's not what you think." And walked forward to take in Mingi's hands.
"It's just that, Jongho was mentally unstable.. He claimed that he had gotten better that's why he's not my client anymore but I'm still worried you know..? I'm worried he might hurt Yeosang.." Yunho explains softly, trying to sound steady.
Mingi scans Yunho's face silently and nodded, "Why don't tell Yeosang about it?"
Yunho shook his head hesitantly, "I want to but I don't know how.. Yeosang just looks so happy."
Mingi let out a sigh fondly and cupped Yunho's cheeks, "You should let him know, it's important. And who knows, maybe Jongho really healed."
Yunho stared at Mingi for a long minute and nodded, "Yeah I really should, I'll talk to him tomorrow." He smiled gratefully at Mingi's assurance, "Thanks a lot babe.", earning a gentle smile from Mingi.
They both walked out of the bathroom and continued their meal with Jongho and Yeosang. The meal went surprisingly well, they chatted and laughed a lot, their bond got stronger as time passes by and Yunho had finally dropped his guard around Jongho.
"Well then, we'll head back first. Bye Yunho, bye Mingi." Yeosang and Jongho said their goodbyes and walked off. Yeosang didn't forget to send Yunho a grateful smile behind Jongho.
"Well, he seems fine." Yunho heaved out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.
Mingi flashed him a smile and walked ahead back home. Yunho quickly followed behind, his hand grabbing Mingi's out of habit, which the devil gladly complied.
It was already close to midnight, the sound of crickets taking over the chirpings of birds. The cool breeze blew across the alleyway and two boys were walking along it. They were chatting and walking peacefully back home until suddenly, someone or rather something flew across them, riling up a huge breeze that shocked the two.
Mingi knew right away who it was and he quickly guarded Yunho behind him, growling lowly at the process.
The creature stopped and landed gracefully in front of him, "Well, well, well, who do we have here?"
The low, teasing voice instantly sent goosebumps down Yunho's spine. Knowing full well not to get involved with the person in front of him, Mingi instantly pulled Yunho behind him so that he was completely blocked from the creature.
Mingi huffed out a low breath and his wings glistened behind him, roaring and begging to be spread, dark and cold aura could be seen roaming around Mingi as his eyes shone a bright red.
"Yunnie, be a good boy for me and look away, okay?" Mingi's voice rang and it scared Yunho, it sounded so different and cold. Although Mingi's voice was already deep, this time it sounded so cold and heartless, completely opposite of the usual him. Yunho couldn't help but obey, his legs were already shaky, the tension between Mingi and the creature was too much for him to handle.
He turned around and walked out of the alleyway, trembling slightly as he squatted down, trying to calm his mind as he try not to listen to what's happening in there.
Yunho flinched as a sudden scream ignited from the alley, and Yunho had to resist his urges to cry. He covered his ears and failed to control the tears that were threatening to fall.
A few more screams following after, and finally everything went silent. The sound of crickets could be heard once again, indicating that Mingi was finished with his bussiness.
Yunho stood up and peeked into the alley, seeing a dark creature standing beside a what seems like a body, sliced up into different parts.
Yunho felt like throwing up after seeing the scene and the scent of blood hits his nose. But he collected himself and scans the dark creature.
Its dark black wings were giving off an overwhelming aura, it's too overwhelming to the point where it felt like something was pressuring him, pressing him down. Although the alley was dark, Yunho didn't miss the bright red eyes that was flashing from the creature's eyes.
Yunho gathered up his courage and stood up, taking small steps towards the creature.
"Mingi?" Yunho called out, he knew it was Mingi, the eyes were all too familiar to him. This creature that he was so afraid of, is his boyfriend.
The devil adverted his gaze towards Yunho, his bright red eyes instantly softened, guilt and sorrow laced upon it, as if he was ashamed of what he did.
"Mingi, are you okay?" Yunho noticed Mingi's change of behavior and he couldn't help but feel the need to pull him in for a hug.
Mingi opened his mouth but stopped, his lips tugged into a soft pout and nodded.
Yunho took the chance to scan the devil. He looked so different from his human/ghost form. Mingi's eyes were shining a bright red, his fangs were poking out of his lips, looking somewhat like a vampire. His wings were big and shiny, majestically spread behind, complimenting the toned body and height of Mingi. There was something black on his head, and once taking a closer look, Yunho confirmed that it was horns. It was a bit shorter than what Yunho had imagined. It looked more like accessories rather than horns, and it looked kinda cute. Yunho couldn't help but drool a little at Mingi in his devil form, he looks hot, the complete opposite of his soft behavior.
"So.. This is your devil form?" Yunho started, asking cautiously, earning a soft nod from the devil.
"What should we do about the body then..?" Yunho asked, controlling his urges to vomit after taking a closer look at the corpse.
Mingi shook his head, "We don't do anything with it. Humans can't see us, so this thing rots and disappears itself."
Yunho nodded in understanding, he then looked up and flashed Mingi a smile "You've got a lot of explanation to do later, Mister."
Mingi gulped internally at the smile and nodded obediently, knowing that he couldn't get away with it this time.
