The Scent of Your Blood

Chapter 64

Iris stared wide-eyed at the human and Hongjoong looked up with an awkward smile. "Um, hi."

The witch looked at Seonghwa who was glaring at Luna and the hybrid was biting her lip, eyes looking anywhere but at Seonghwa. "Whoops, I guess I didn't shut them properly," she muttered and laughed nervously. Seonghwa sighed and looked at the older woman.

"Surprise, he's my soulmate." Iris' eyes were back on Hongjoong and she smiled. "Hongjoong, come over here," the blood demon motioned for his little human and he stood up, walking over to the three immortals.

"You're an angel! Oh my god!" She laughed in disbelief and the three looked at her in confusion, Hongjoong was more confused.

"Um, no, Iris. He's human," Seonghwa said and Iris did a double-take.

"Oh... oh! I'm sorry, I thought you were an angel with how stunning you look, but you are human. You just radiate this aura, you're gorgeous!"

Hongjoong became flustered and Seonghwa smiled as he grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers.

"Thank you," he mumbled and turned redder when the blood demon wrapped his arm around his waist and kissed him on the neck. Iris clapped her hands together, holding them up to her chest.

"Well, you're going to have to keep him well hidden from your father," she said to Seonghwa.

"You aren't bothered by the fact that I have a human as a soulmate?" Seonghwa asked and the witch scoffed.

"A soulmate is a soulmate, dear. I don't care that he's human, but you need to bring him to your mother! She'd love to meet him," she smiled widely at Hongjoong who smiled back.

"Well, this is Iris, by the way, my mother's sister," the blood demon introduced the witch.

"And you're Hongjoong. My, I can just tell that you make him very happy. He's never radiating this much happiness."

"That makes him sound like he's depressed most of the time," Hongjoong giggled and Luna snorted.

"If he's not around you then yes, he acts all depressed."

Seonghwa glared at the hybrid and smacked her in the back of the head.

"Seonghwa," Iris raised an eyebrow at her nephew who raised his hands in surrender which made Hongjoong laugh.

"For months he tried denying his feelings and I had to listen to him rant about Hongjoong almost every day for hours! "He's so beautiful and I don't deserve someone so perfect"," Luna mocked the other demon and giggled when another glare was sent her way. Hongjoong blushed and shyly smiled.

Iris shook her head. "Stubborn as always," she walked towards the bedroom door.

"Hey, I'm not stubborn!" Seonghwa pouted. Hongjoong found the sight so cute and he giggled.

"You can be the biggest pain in the ass, Seonghwa," Luna said as she followed after the witch demon. Hongjoong laughed more but gasped when his boyfriend lifted him.

"Oh, so you think that's funny?"

The mortal nodded with a smirk. "Very." The other male laid him on the bed and he squealed, giggling loudly when his sides were tickled.

"Opposites attract," Iris said and Luna skipped over to link her arm with the older woman's. The door shut, leaving the two males alone, their laughter filling the room.

A few hours had gone by and Hongjoong was back at his apartment, his fiancé staying in Hell to help his father. Hongjoong was currently in the kitchen making a cup of coffee when someone knocked on the front door and he made his way over to answer it. When he opened it, he wasn't expecting to see Yeonjun, Soobin, Taehyun, Hueningkai and Beomgyu standing on the other side.
