✈︎ Chapter Twenty-Three

"are you guys dating?" Haechan eyed his friend, who was back entering the bedroom carrying some snacks for them. His stomach grumbled seeing the Lays chip bag.

"Who?" The blue haired boy asked, dumbfounded, as he hands over the bag of Lays chips to Haechan.

"You and that angel boy."

Jeno tilts his head, "not yet." He smiles, turning around to get some clothes from his closet so he could change.

"Not yet? The fuck you mean 'not yet'?" His friend repeats, his eyes wide and had forgotten the current struggle of opening the bag of chips.

"We established we liked each other-"

"You said 'liked'."

Sighing, Jeno turns to his friend and speaks. "We like each other," he repeats and eyes his friend. "A lot." Emphasizing, making Haechan raise his hands up in surrender.

"We're going to have our first date soon." Jeno then smiles at his friend, his cheeks heating up at just mentioning the said innocent simple date. With Na Jaemin.

"When?" The tanned male asked, still struggling to open the Lays pack and was very close on just fuck it and use his demon powers.

Seriously, who the fuck made some of these hard to open? What's gonna happen if you're starving and you can't open it?

"I don't know yet, Jaemin just said he'd want to take me out sometime and I told him 'of course' and we sort of ended it at that." The blue haired boy stated, turning on his back to finally grab some clothes.

"How do you know if he really genuinely and honestly likes you? What if- what if it's a hoax? Or like a trap and he'll drag you to heaven or something?" Haechan exclaimed quite dramatically.

"Channie, he's under punishment right now. He can't go back to heaven yet, and I'm sure he knows what's he's doing." Jeno deadpans from across the room.

"Or who's he's getting himself involved with."

"Haechannie, you're making it seem like I'm a bad person and it's bad to date me!" Jeno whines abruptly and turns to cross his arms with a pout.

The tanned male threw the bad of chips on the floor and makes some weird hand gestures, trying to find an excuse. "Well- I'm not saying it like that."

"Huh?"

"I'm just saying it's scary, especially if like... Someone new or if they're not from hell, wants to... You know? Upgrade things with you." He musters up, pathetically rather than his usual confident self.

Jeno huffs, "if you're talking about my dad, then be sure to tell him once you get back. If he wants to talk to me, do it before my date because I don't want him to disturb us."

"Wait, why me?" Haechan asked, eyes wide in shock.

"Because you're already here, Jisung is at a night mission, right?" Jeno hums, raising a brow.

The tanned male nodded stiffly, "good, it's settled." He smiles and turns back around to quickly go to his bathroom and change, leaving his friend inwardly panic.

Once he gets back, he sees Haechan standing up. "Look, maybe it's best if... You tell Satan. Because you're his son, y'know?" He smiles, forced.

Knitting his eyebrows together at his friend, Jeno all of a sudden snorts loudly. "Haechannie," he drawls his friend's nickname sweetly. "Are you scared of my dad, right now?"

"What? Pfft! No!"

"You are!" Jeno smiles widely before he puts on his poker face, "what did he tell you?"

"What?"

"Don't act dumb, what did my dad tell you?" He repeats, slowly and more stern.

Haechan gulped dryly, and sighed. "He wanted me to make sure his little boy is as safe as he wants him to be. That includes being around Jaemin, make sure they're atleast 5 feet apart."

Hearing this, Jeno scoffs. "I'm asking you to tell him what I told you to tell him, okay?" He sweetly smiles. "And do add, Jeno wants atleast a bit of privacy with his love life"."

"Also, why are you here again?" He asked and walks pass his friend, grabbing the bag of chips on the floor and opens it with ease.

Haechan stammered at that, before he blinks and takes the bag from Jeno who handed it over to him as he answers his friend's question.

"Besides watching over me, requested by my dad." Jeno interrupts him, before he could even open his mouth to say something.

With a nod, Haechan said, "I tried the portal spell." Briefly, yet Jeno could sense some other emotions from him. Like frustration, shame, and such.

"I'm guessing you forgot how to hold it open, it closed and now you're basically stuck here?"

"That," Haechan points at him slightly while holding a chip in his fingers. "And because Yangyang ran off to who knows where, probably trying to find something fun in this shit place on earth."

"I'm also guessing half of those are true, and it was actually you who ran off." Jeno, in instinct, says as he leaves the room and headed towards his studies.

Haechan follows him with a chuckle, "you know me too well." He smiles, more proud than annoyed.

The blue haired boy rolled his eyes, "I'm making you a portal, and be sure to tell my dad and then tell me his reply as soon as possible. Also, tell him Jaemin is a good guy."

"Might as well bring him a cellphone." Haechan muttered, snapping his fingers to immediately set up the ritual area.

Jeno shrugged, "he has one, but it's more on as a business phone. And he's annoyed because the greedy demons nearby keep on trying to steal it."

"I thought they were under punishment as well?" Haechan raised a brow.

"On and off." His friend shrugged and began to recite the spell, the usual thing happened as Haechan tries to recite with him.

Walking towards the portal, Haechan turns to his friend. "I'm gonna finish these quickly before those bitches steal this." He grumbled.

Laughing, Jeno nodded. "Bye now, I have school tomorrow." He waves before adding, "try focusing on your surroundings and just go for it," he advised.

"Be my mentor instead of Ten!" Haechan laughs and runs off before Jeno closes the portal.

He felt something vibrating in his pocket, taking his phone out to check what notification he had gotten. His cheeks heating up again when he read a message.

"I'm picking you up tomorrow morning, maybe we can discuss our date while at it. Goodnight, sweetheart."

Giggling, he taps his fingers on the screen to type out a reply and sends it. Going back to his bedroom and get some sleep.

"Are you sure tomorrow isn't our date already? Hehe, night Jaeminnie."

He didn't wake up when a reply from Jaemin was sent back.

"Wh- oh shit. Maybe? I don't know? Great, now I can't sleep."
