"Alright. Let me go over this again. You didn't notice that someone was there while you were fixing the barrier and you also didn't notice them filming you?", a male with black hair summarized what was said beforehand while pacing up and down in his office. He looked stressed, maybe even a little angry and that didn't help the second male in the room.

The second male was seated on a chair in front of the large desk made of glass, the other was walking up and down behind it. The blue hair of the second male was a little tousled and his eyes were fixed on his lap. He didn't dare to look into the face of the male with the black hair, who was his leader, fearing that he would only see anger and disappointment because he screwed up big time.

The male with the black hair exhaled deeply and stopped his pacing, noticing that it wasn't helping at all. He looked out of the big window on his right side. It had a beautiful view on Yellow Wood because the office was at one of the top floors of the building. The roofs of the houses were covered under a thick but still light blanket of snow. It looked ethereal and peaceful, even though the male with the black hair knew that everything slowly got out of hand. One wrong move and the supernatural world would be exposed to the humans, which he would feared would result in fight no one could win.

"Listen, Youngjae", the male with the black hair began and turned around to face the young man with the blue hair. "I know you didn't mean to be seen like that", he continued and glanced at the screen of his computer, which was on his desk, playing a video of Youngjae fixing the barrier that hide the supernatural world. "And I also know that this was just one big accident and that you are aware of the consequences this could cause but I seriously don't know what to do or how to protect you if this video is the kickstarter for something nobody wants to happen", he ended and seated himself on his big black swivel chair because he began to feel tired.

"I know", the warlock in front of the glass desk almost whispered. "I am sorry, Jaebum-hyung", he apologized yet again. Jaebum looked at Youngjae, who looked guilty, sad and terrified at the same time. It made the older male feel bad because usually the warlock was a little sunshine with an adorable smile. He wanted to open his mouth again to say something to comfort the warlock a little bit but before he could the door of the office was slammed open by two rather young looking males. One had dark brown hair while the other, taller one had black hair.

"Whatever you accuse him of having done, he didn't do it", the one with the dark brown hair immediately said when Jaebum's gaze landed on the two young males, while walking to Youngjae and wrapping his arms around him from behind in a rather protective manner. The brunette didn't break eye contact with Jaebum for even a second.

"It was probably just an accident or something, so you can't punish him for that. It wasn't his fault", the tall male with the black hair added and looked at the man behind the desk. There was a worried glimmer in the eyes of the tall male but Jaebum was sure that it wouldn't stop him from from doing whatever was needed to protect Youngjae.

Jaebum sighed and rubbed his temples. Footsteps could be heard and soon after that three other males entered the office. One of them had almost white hair, one black and the third also black but with a lot of light blue strains.

"Sorry, Jaebum. We couldn't stop them", the male with the nearly white hair explained being a bit out of breath. "It's alright, Jackson", Jaebum dismissed and turned his attention to Youngjae again, who was still wrapped up in an protective back-hug by the male with the dark brown hair. He hadn't moved a muscle but Jaebum noticed that the presence of the two younger males was enough to somehow comfort the warlock.

"Bambam could you let go of Youngjae, please", Jaebum said the male with the dark brown hair but he didn't budge. "Only if I can be sure you won't do anything to him", Bambam answered and he wasn't joking one bit, which was unlike him. Jaebum sighed again, feeling his head hurt a little.

"Listen, I would never do anything to Youngjae. Promise. Who do you think I am?", Jaebum said and was a little bit concerned about the sudden distrust the younger male showed him but maybe that was just his wolf side talking. Youngjae was his newly found mate after all.

Bambam slowly let go of Youngjae and stood next to Yugyeom, the tall male with the black hair, who entered the office with him and was also his mate. It was rare to have two mates, yes, but that didn't mean it didn't exist.

Yugyeom had known, that he had two mates as soon as he had picked up Bambam's and Youngjae's scent for the first time. Being a werewolf was quiet handy, when it came to finding your mate - or in this case - mates. He was the main reason for the current relationship of the three young man, even though it took them some time to get there.

In the beginning Yugyeom was dating Bambam and Youngjae at the same time with their consent but those two weren't dating yet because Bambam for example thought only Yugyeom was his mate. He was a wolf hybrid and could only tell who his mate was by lip contact, which made it harder for him to figure out that he didn't have only one mate but well, accidents happen and not long ago he kissed Youngjae because he lost a bet and boom he was hit with the realization that he had two mates.

Youngjae had been pretty confused about the mate thing in the beginning because he was a warlock and didn't have an option to find his destined partner, which he claimed was unfair but he could never deny the crush he had on both Bambam and Yugyeom. Well, destiny was his friend in that point and he ended up being in a relationship with both younger males.

Yugyeom and Bambam watched Jaebum carefully, when he stood up from his chair and walked around the glass desk to get to the rest of his group members. Jaebum really asked himself what he had ever done to them to let them be so vary about him right now.

"From now on we have to be extra careful, when we repair the barrier because we don't want to repeat what happened hundreds of years ago. We can't be seen by the human eye. It would only fuel a suspicion they already have. Does everybody understand that?", Jaebum asked and looked more at his group members with magical abilities, meaning everybody expect Bambam and Yugyeom.

Everybody in the room nodded in understanding. They needed to take their responsibility very seriously. After all they were GOT7, the group most responsible for hiding the supernatural world and taking care of the magical barrier, which separated their world from the human one.

"Alright. Then this unintentional little group meeting is over. You are all dismissed expect for Jackson and Mark. We need to continue talking about getting MonstaX, BTS and A.C.E more involved in the issue with the barrier", Jaebum dismissed them. Jackson, the man with the white hair, and Mark, the black-haired male with the blue strains both nodded.

Youngjae stood up silently from his chair  and was immediately dragged out of Jaebum's office by his two boyfriends, who will probably shower the warlock with affection until he was their little sunshine again.

"They are almost too protective over him", Jinyoung, the male with the black hair stated and put his hands on his hips. "Says the overprotective mum", Mark mocked Jinyoung with a light grin, earning himself a glare from the black-haired warlock.

"Enough of the bickering. We have important things to discuss", Jaebum said and seated himself back on his big black swivel chair. "Alright. I will go. See you in the evening. Don't come home too late", Jinyoung bid his goodbye and left the office, closing the door behind him.

"Was the incident with Youngjae that bad?", Jackson asked after a short silence and let himself fall on one of the black armchairs in the corner of the office, while looking at his leader. Jaebum let out sigh, yet again while rubbing his temples.

"It was in some way because it got a lot of attention, meaning a lot of humans, who believe the video is real, will be walking around the area where Youngjae was seen and filmed. They will try to find proof for our existence themselves", Jaebum responded, looking at both Mark and Jackson.

"If we are not careful this could be the start of a war no one wanted", the black-haired male added gloomy.

—————————————

Seungmin exited his room and walked down the corridors of the Kim mansion, which was void of Christmas decorations even though Christmas Eve was tomorrow. Why you may ask? Well, Seungmin's father was the devil, the king of hell. Do you think he would want to celebrate the birth of the gods' loved son, who was now also a god? 

The young demon was entirely used to not celebrate Christmas, even though he knew Byungho and Woosu celebrate it every year with their mothers. They would always drive away for it of course, so they didn't anger Lucifer in any way. The redhead didn't know if Samuel and his mother would celebrate it too or if they would just stay at home and pretend they never heard of Christmas like Seungmin and Wonpil.

It was kind of sad but the demon brothers would always give each other a present on Christmas Eve and call it an "accident". Their mother Lilith would always get a bit irritated if he noticed that but it was never bad enough for the two demon brothers to not continue the tradition.

Seungmin was walking towards Wonpil's room, mainly because he was bored and wanted someone's company. Byungho was packing with Eve for their little Christmas holiday and Woosu did probably the same with his mum, so he didn't want to bother them. Rana and Samuel were shopping together, which left the mansion rather quiet.

The red-haired demon knocked on his brother's room door in a special pattern, which lifted the little locking spell he and Wonpil put over the door so it was safer for Wonpil's friends to visit him. The redhead then entered the room and closed the door behind him.

"Seungmin is that you?", Wonpil asked. "Yeah. It's me", Seungmin said and walked into the main part of the room, were Wonpil's bed war located. He was met with a surprise when he saw Woosu sitting in Wonpil's white armchair. That Dowoon was laying next to his brother on the older demon's bed, waving at Seungmin as a greeting was a sight the redhead became used to over the last month but they weren't officially dating. Yet.

"What are you doing here, Woosu-hyung? I thought you were packing for your little holiday with your mother", Seungmin asked the warlock with the white hair. Woosu only shrugged. "We are staying here this year. Mum wants to spend some quality time with father", he explained and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"That absolutely sucks", Wonpil commented and his head dangle upside down from his bed. Seungmin hummed in agreement. Athea always was a bit clingy when it came to Lucifer but it had never gotten to the point where she canceled a holiday with her son just to be around him.

"I don't care, honestly. The last few years weren't really fun since my mother just dragged me away from the home for two weeks to practice magic in another surrounding. This Christmas would probably have been just as exhausting and boring", Woosu stated, laying back a little.

"You can always celebrate together with us in secret", Dowoon chimed in with a mischievous smile plastered on his face. Wonpil raised his head to look at the vampire, who now had the attention of all three Kim brothers.

"All of you can use magic, so just decorate one of your rooms and put an illusion spell over it", the vampire suggested. This idea was so stupid and simple it could actually work. Of course there was the risk that the haters of Christmas, which were Lucifer and Lilith would notice but they literally never checked on their children, if there wasn't an urgent reason for it.

"This could actually work", Seungmin mumbled after thinking it over. His two brothers agreed. Dowoon's smile widened. "I will bring the decorations then", he said cheerfully.

——————————————

Jeongin tossed around in his bed, like he had been doing almost all morning. The snowball fight happened the day prior and the kitsune could stop think about his little incident with Felix. The picture of Felix towering over him wasn't getting out of his head. He couldn't forget that the cat hybrid had been close enough for Jeongin to count all of the freckles on the ginger's face.

The blond groaned in frustration. He was a confused teenager, who wanted answers. Why couldn't he stop thinking about this certain event? Why did he want to hug Felix out of nowhere and never let him go? What was this strange feeling in his chest whenever he thought about the cat hybrid with the ginger hair?

Jeongin had enough of that. He needed answers for the gods' sake before he became insane and he knew only one way to get them this instant.

The blond got up from his bed, walked out of his room and straight to Hyunjin's door. He knocked on the light wood, hoping his cousin wasn't busy. "Hyung? I need your help with something", he said, sounding a little bit whiny.

The door was opened by the siren shortly after that. "What's wrong?", he asked when Jeongin entered the room and he closed the door behind the blond.

The kitsune sat down on his cousin's bed and looked him in the eyes. "I need you to tell me my sexuality and my current crush", Jeongin said pretty straight forward. Hyunjin blinked a couple of times in pure confusion. "You want me to do what?", the siren asked, thinking he misheard the kitsune.

"I want to know my sexuality and my current crush. I know that you can tell me that, hyung", the blond slightly whined. Hyunjin walked over to the fox spirit and sat down beside him. "Innie, we already had this talk once with Mum. You know I shouldn't tell you because it can have consequences", the siren reminded the younger, which only made him pout.

Sirens had the ability to instantly know other person's crushes and their sexual preference. It was a kind of natural instinct for them to notice, considering that sirens along with nymphs were specialized in seducing other creatures and humans in the ancient times since they were their only prey. If they didn't have this ability they would have starved. Luckily nowadays sirens ate like any normal person, making this ability practically useless and even a bit dangerous if handled unprofessional.

"Of course I know about the consequences but I need that information now or I am going insane", the younger now fully whined, looking at his cousin with puppy eyes. "But why?", Hyunjin asked and looked at the younger confused, seemingly being immune to the other's puppy eyes. Jeongin internally gave up with trying to win his cousin over by being cute and decided to try it with honesty.
The kitsune sighed looking away from his cousin, focusing his gaze on his lap. "I don't know how to feel about Felix since yesterday", Jeongin mumbled. For a short moment the blond wanted to play with one of his rings out of habit but he was wearing none of them at the moment, so awkwardly placed his hands on his lap.

Hyunjin seemingly noticed this action and sighed. It sounded like he was giving in, which let Jeongin raise his gaze a little bit. The siren seemed to debate for a bit before opening his mouth to speak.

"Alright I will tell you but don't do anything stupid with that information", Hyunjin said a little bit more to himself than to the younger. Jeongin fully raised his head, looking at his cousin in anticipation.

The siren took a breath before continuing. "As far as I can tell you are demisexual and you have a sort of crush on Felix", the siren explained. Jeongin tilted his head to the side in confusion. "Why sort of crush?" he asked. "It's a little hard to explain but you and Felix share a kind of bond, which becomes stronger over time as far as I can tell. I only saw this a couple of times. Minho and Jisung for example share a similar bond and so do Byungho and Chan but I really don't know what this connection really means", the siren explained. Then a realization began to glimmer in his eyes.

"Please forget the last part", he immediately said but Jeongin was already grinning widely. "Never", the blond answered, got up and bolted out of the room. "By all gods", Jeongin could hear Hyunjin swear behind him.

Finally he had an answer to his problem and even knew a bit more. Maybe it was even the thing Felix tried to hide from him.
