Taehyung's POV

"Thanks" Jungkook mumbles as he collapses on my couch.

"Anytime" I furrow my eyebrows in worry.

After informing Suga hyung about Lisa and disposing off Jin's body with Jungkook's fellows who happened to arrive home, I took Jungkook out to calm his mind. He wanted to go to the park so we went there. We sat there for awhile until I offered him to stay over at mine till he felt good enough to go back. He agreed. So now we are here.

I walk to the kitchen and get water for Jungkook. I grab the glass of water and walk back to the lounge, handing it to Jungkook who was terribly exhausted and so was I.

I take off my shoes and jacket as Jungkook gulps down the water. I sit beside him and he throws his legs over my lap and leans against my chest as I wrap my arms around him. We sat in silence, lost in our thoughts.

"....I'm so glad to have you" He whispers, his eyes hidden by his dark bangs. "or I would've gone crazy with all these events happening one by one. First my parents, then Jin, Lizzy and now.... Hobi hyung and Lisa. I wish we could've kept them all safe, but he was always one step ahead of us. Always. Sometimes I wish I wasn't Angel... "

"How could have we met if you weren't an Angel?" I ask. He doesn't say anything.

"....Kiss me" He mumbles as he nuzzles his nose in my chest then looks up at me. I lean down and capture his lips. I grab his neck gently as I deepen the kiss. Our lips move in sync with each other. I bite down on his lower lip, earning a moan from him. I break away for air and look him straight in his brown eyes.

"You need to rest" I breathed. He gave the slightest of the nod. I stood up, carrying him bridle style to my room. I gently laid him on the bed then went to grab some comfortable clothes for him. After grabbing a pair of extra pyjamas and giving them to Jungkook, I go change. After, I go and climb the bed and lay down beside Jungkook. He snuggles up to my chest and I throw an arm over his side, pulling him closer. And just like that, we fall asleep.

Next day

Hoseok's POV

She was gone.

She was snatched from me.

Lisa.

My love.

She was murdered.

I saw red as I screamed with rage and punched the wall.

Those damn Demons.

I'll kill you all.

Soyeon's POV

"I'll be going now" I said as I got up from the white bed.

No answer.

I looked at Elizabeth who was staring at the wall, her eyes lost. Guilt washed over me. I wrapped my arms around her and pecked her head. How I wish I could fix things. How I wish I was there to protect her sister.

"I'm so sorry" I whispered then let go of Elizabeth. "Don't forget to eat food and take your medicines as the doctors say" I remind her, although she wasn't paying attention. "I'll see you tomorrow" I say as I grab my bag and head out her room.

After the incident, we had to get Elizabeth admitted in the mental hospital. It took a month for the doctors to calm her down. Now she occasionally struggles. However, despite bringing her to a sane state, Elizabeth has stopped talking. She never talks. She's always staring off into space. Before, she didn't eat food nor take her medicines, but gradually, she started to ease down. She lets the nurse feed her and give her medicines. Now I just hope she'll become her old self but the doctor said it's unlikely.

I walked out of the hospital building and headed for the bus stop. While waiting for the bus, I thought back to yesterday, my eyes instantly welling up. I blinked my eyes, stopping the tears from falling. I sniffed and looked around, trying to distract myself from Lisa.

Baekhyun and I had lost Hoseok quite a long way. We concluded that he went to look for Lisa. We headed home, stopping for awhile at a churros stall. After some time, we had reached home. As I unlocked the door and entered, I felt something was wrong until I heard sobbing. Baekhyun and I ran to the kitchen where we found Jungkook crying in a guy's arm. I looked behind the kitchen island and gasped. Jin was lying dead, with a dagger stabbed in his heart. Baekhyun and I instantly recognised it as a Demon's. We turned around in sync to look at the guy who stared back at us while still comforting Jungkook. I soon realized it was Taehyung. Well, at least Jin was dead. That's.....Progress. Although, we lost a dear one in the worst way possible.

After Taehyung and Jungkook told us what had actually happened, we took Jin's body to the forest and buried it there. Baekhyun and I returned home, waiting for Hoseok. He eventually returned in a state that's still glued in my brain.

"*ahem* Miss, do you want to ride the bus or...?" I looked at the bus driver with a start. The driver flinched ever so lightly. "A-are you okay, Miss?" I blinked at him then realized tears rolling down my eyes.

"O-oh. Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine." I said as I wiped my face and climbed the bus. "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." I said and went to sit at a window seat.

I leaned my head against the head rest and closed my eyes. I lost both my dear friends. One died and one became mentally disabled. Almost but yeah. And now Hoseok was in the same state as Elizabeth but not too insane.

Suddenly a weird sensation crept up my body and I opened my eyes.

Someone was staring at me. I looked back, scanning people, trying to figure out who it was. My eyes landed on this guy at the very back, with white hair and white skin. His head was hanging low and half his face was hidden by the cap he was wearing. He seemed suspicious and to prove my suspicions, his lips suddenly pulled up into a wicked grin.

I quickly turned back in my seat, my heart hammering.

Dammit. How did he know I was looking? Tsk forget it. More trouble. What now?

I quickly called Baekhyun and asked where he was. Luckily he was near my next bus stop. I told him to get there and wait for me. I put down my phone and composed myself and tried to ignore the same creeping sensation.

After what felt like ages, the bus finally stopped. I quickly got up and dashed out the bus. I saw Baekhyun sitting on the bench waiting for me.

"Baekhyun" I said breathless as I speed walked to him. He got up immediately seeing my panicked look.

"What's up?" He asked.

"We need to go home. Now." I lowered my voice. "Through the forest"

"What? Why?" He whispered.

"I'm being followed. I have a feeling it's something bad. So we need to hurry."

"Okay..." He looked up to stare at the crowd around the bus stop. "Let's go" He said and we took off.

??? POV

"What did you find?" The Night Father asked as soon as I stepped in the throne room. I bowed down before the thick curtain of black smoke.

"Sire, it seems Jeon Soyeon pays a visit to the mental hospital to meet a friend at around 7 PM. Jung Hoseok is not mentally stable and keeps himself in his room. The ice boy often likes to go out to cafes."

"What about the Gisa's heir?"

"I'm afraid to say that he's been absent the the whole day"

"I see...aim for the rest. The heir is meant to come back at some point. You can deal with him later. You are dismissed."

"Yes sire" I said as I stood up and left the room. I scowled as I walked away.

I'll find you, faggot. I'll find you
