Hello! I'm back with a new chapter for you all! I'm really excited to get into this one. It's dramatic and funny and was such a a blast to write. I hope that you all enjoy it as well. I'll keep this note short and let you read the chapter!



Then: Pyeongchang

Changbin stands in the middle of an empty field with tall grass. He is garbed in a black t-shirt and form fitting sweatpants in the same color. There's a baseball cap snug on his head. "I'm glad you came," A voice says as a figure garbed in light gray makes his way out of a tuft of grass.

"Minho-ssi, why did we have to meet here?" Changbin asks.

"How would it look, Changbin-ssi, for a demon and an angel to be meeting up? Especially with the heightened tensions between us recently," Minho says.

Changbin sighs, "This wouldn't have been an issue-,"

"Don't tell me that you actually believe angels are behind these numerous demon slayings," Minho says.

Changbin shakes his head, "I don't, but who else is there to blame. Hunters are good, but they honestly can't do much against massive amounts of us."

"Well, I don't know who it is, but it wasn't us," Minho states.

"Are you sure? After what happened to Yoon Jisung, your feathered friends didn't seem so happy."

"They're not," Minho says, "They're pissed off, but they wouldn't retaliate by killing another demon. Angels aren't petty like that."

"But, you are," Changbin mumbles.

"I heard that," Minho huffs, "I didn't come here to argue about who's to blame for this. We both know that angels and demons have their issues with one another. We have issues with each other."

"You can say that again," Changbin mutters.

"I wouldn't doubt for a second that one of our races is behind the first attack and then vice versa for the next and so forth," Minho says, "At this point, it doesn't matter who is to blame for the deed. Things have been boiling up in heaven and I'm sure it's the same way in hell. It's only a matter of time before the angel race and demon decide to have at it."

"Leaving the humans stuck right in between," Changbin finishes.

"Exactly," Minho says, "We need to stop that from happening. The angels are too prideful to step down and the demons too bloodthirsty."

"Then, how do you expect us to put a stop to this?" Changbin asks, "That is why you called me, isn't it? To stop an all-out angel demon war?"

"Yes," Minho says, "And to how we are actually going to do it...I'm still figuring it out."

"Great," Changbin huffs, "I'm sure the human race will just wait patiently as you try to come up with something to make sure they don't get wiped out."

"Hey! It's not as easy said as done," Minho states.

Changbin shakes his head, "Angels."

"Demons," Minho hisses.

Now

"Hyung," Felix says, glancing over at his cousin who is reading Wonpil's journal which sits in his lap. Chan hums in response, his eyes not moving from the page he's reading. Felix clears his throat a bit and shifts in his seat, "About Wonpil."

"What about him?" Chan asks.

"Well, I don't know him personally and what I've learned about him is from what you've told me and what is written in his journal," Felix says, "But, I started forming my own opinion on him..." Chan looks up from his book and at his cousin. His eyebrows furrows in confusion, not really getting why Felix is telling him this. "I didn't want to tell you cause I didn't want to like piss you off or anything, but after what you said when we were leaving Wonpil's alpha warehouse, I thought that maybe it'll be okay to tell you."
