Pardon THE TITLE I FORGOT TO CHANGE IT

Chapter 10: Demon

Throughout the whole meeting, Jungkook was supposed to have with Baekhyun about some business plan for the future, he kept on wondering what Taehyung meant about it not being romantic.

Jungkook would often side glance at Taehyung, then zone out for a few seconds before snapping back when either Chanyeol or Baekhyun asked him a question.

About four hours later, the sun had started to set and the sky was slowly turning orange. Jungkook's eyes felt heavy when he entered the carriage along with Hoseok. Taehyung were going to stay for the night.

"Jungkook?" Hoseok's voice brought Jungkook out of his daze, with half-open eyes he stared at Hoseok. The Butler sighed "Finally, I have been calling your name for ten minutes. We are here."

Jungkook tried rubbing the tiredness out of his eyes, but it only made it worse "Hoseok, do you mind carrying me inside?" He yawned.

Hoseok chuckled then grabbed Jungkook's arm "I'm afraid I can't carry you, you have to walk on your own Jungkook."

"Fine," Jungkook grumbled and climbed out of the carriage, he looked up at the sky that was now a slight purple color, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath "Hoseok, not to offend you or anything like that," Jungkook turned around, his eyes now open as he stared at the ginger "I sometimes get the feeling that you're hiding something from me."

Hoseok felt his heart speed up as he tried to not break eye contact with Jungkook, he smiled "Of course, I'm not hiding anything. What makes you say that?"

Jungkook eyed him "Nothing, just a thought." With that, he turned back around and walked into the mansion. Hoseok stood still for some seconds, trying to collect his thoughts.

"You must be careful Hoseok."

Hoseok frantically looked around the place, in search of the owner of the voice. Not so far away from him, he spotted a male with black hair leaning against the brick wall. The man looked up with a smile at Hoseok.

"Seokmin," Hoseok smiled back, jogging slightly over to the male to give him a bone-crushing hug.

Seokmin returned the hug "Awe I have missed you My little demon." He broke the hug and squished Hoseok's face "You have grown so much!"

The ginger slapped his hands away "I have only grown by an inch the last time you saw me," Hoseok rubbed his cheek that now was turning red "Also didn't you go to hell?"

Seokmin shook his head "No, it got boring without you so I began messing with this one family." He snickered at a memory.

"Seokmin!" Hoseok hit the younger demon on his head "I told you that if you were to leave hell then you would find a home to live in."

"But that's boring," Seokmin whined, "also the family did notice me and yeah...."

Hoseok sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose "What did you even do?"

"First u would just move stuff around, poke them, or just be annoying."

"And?"

"I accidentally set their house on fire..."

"SEOKMIN! HOW DID YOU- I mean," Hoseok cleared his throat "How did you manage to do that?" The other shrugged, clearly thinking that is was no big deal.

"I mean I heard them talking about going to his cousin, to live there until the house is fixed."

Their conversation was cut off when Lalisa came walking out of the mansion, muttering profanities while carrying a big dress over her shoulder. She failed to notice the two males she passed by to busy minding her own business.

"She works here?" Seokmin asked surprised, he grabbed his chin "Well Rosé did mention something about needing money."

Now it's was Hoseok's turn to look surprised "She's back?"

"You didn't know?" Seokmin walked closer to Hoseok "She came back six years ago, even Yixing caught that."

"Well pardon me that I'm so busy working while the rest of set houses on fire." Hoseok rolled his eyes and took a step back "UIt was fun talking to you again, but I have to get back to work and don't I repeat don't set any more houses on fire."

Seokmin smiled "Can't promise anything." With that he walked away, waving at Hoseok as he disappeared into the forest beside the mansion. Hoseok sighed and walked inside.

As always the different servants were hurrying back and forth, either delivering food, clothes or messages- but something was different today. Hoseok jumped to the side when a maid came rushing past him, she seemed panicked and shaken like something either bad or shocking had happened.

Just as another one was about to run pat him again, Hoseok grabbed her, she looked taken back and nearly angry. But her face softened when she realized who it was.

"What's going on." Hoseok pointed at the mess of servants.

She shook her head "Misstress Somin's husband has been murdered with a poisonous potion. Ah, how awful." The maid dramatically put a hand on her forehead, before she ran to join the other maids to most likely gossip about it all.

Hoseok stared in the direction of Somin's bedroom, he didn't believe she would have already done it. He had imagined that she would do it around summer time. "What a mess this is.." He muttered to himself then proceeding to walk over to his own bedroom, just feeling exhausted about everything.

The following morning Hoseok felt like he had slept for years. Lazily he had grabbed his pocket watch to check the time. His eyes had nearly popped out of their sockets as he flung the covers off him and jumped out of the bed, he ripped open his closet and grabbed outfit of the day. 

He stumbled out of the room and runs like a madman up the stairs to wake Jungkook up.

"Hoseok."

The butler abruptly stops, turned around and bowed "I'm sorry Lady Jeon, I overslept." He could hear her coming closer and a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I know that I often send you and Jungkook down to the market, but" She made him stand straight "I need you two to buy more, you know like tea." 

"I'm sorry Lady Jeon but can you not ask any of the other servants?" Hoseok suggested, making her smile sweetly at him.

"I trust you a lot more." Her expression turned dark "Now wake him up and go."

'I don't know what Sir Jeon sees in that bipolar woman.' Hoseok thought to himself as he walked away from her to wake Jungkook up, much to his surprise the other was already wake.

Jungkook put away his book at the sound of his door opening "I heard you talking to my mother, shall we go?" He got up from his reading chair, grabbed his coat along with a scarf "My mother would probably like herbal tea."

"Yes, of course, she would like that," Hoseok said thoughtfully, then he remembered something, he had run out of something special that he used to stay sane, so now he had an excuse to go to the village again to get more. It had been some days since he had used it.

Jungkook was walking in the front while Hoseok stayed a little farther behind, he could feel the last of the dose slowly draining out of his body. Not a good sign. Why hadn't he felt anything yesterday? It was best that he got there fast.

"Jungkook can we stop by a place first?" 

Jungkook glanced at him "Yes, we can. Where do you want to go?"

"Just follow me." Hoseok forced a smile, hoping it was convincing enough, he grabbed Jungkok's hand and ran (human speed) to the dark corner shop. Hoseok knew Jungkook would recognize it so he planned some answers in his head if Jungkook where to ask about it.

"Hoseok stop!" Jungkook laughed "We don't have to run!"

When they eventually stopped Jungkook was so out of breath he had to lean against the wall, while Hoseok didn't even break slightly into a sweat, but for the sake of Jungkook being there he faked panted and leaned also leaned against the wall.

"Give me a few seconds Jungkook, it will be quick." Hoseok went inside the creepy store leaving again Jungkook alone.

Jungkook recognized the place he met Taehyung for the first time, he smiled thinking that they had met in a really weird way. Now Jungkook being the curious person he is, he wanted to know what was inside this store, since Hoseok never took him inside with him.

 There were no windows so he could not look in, no window on the door either. Meaning that he had to get inside, but he had to do it without Hoseok hearing or noticing him.

Slowly he pressed the door handle down and the door luckily it did not make a sound as it opened, Jungkook peeked his head inside, but it was too dark to see anything from where he stood so he had to walk inside more.

Jungkook tip-toed inside and used the wall as a guide so he didn't accidentally knock something over. He could hear voices somewhere inside and there was some light coming from another room. 

He rose up straight and was about to walk to the room but he knocked his head against a lamp that was tunred off, there was a sound but not loud enough for the other people to hear, Jungkook held his breath in case.

When he heard nothing he continued closer to the room and voices. He did hear Hoseok talking plus another voice. Jungkook stood right beside the door opening and listened to the conversation.

"Hoseok you're back, again."

"I need something, it's urgent." 

"What now?"

"Telipogon diabolicus."

Jungkook rose an eyebrow. Why is Hoseok buying flowers in this creepy store? Jungkook heard the other male in the room gasp.

"Why didn't you come earlier?! You damn demon! What would have happened if you lost control?"

"I'm sorry Jongin, just give me the bloody flower before Satan takes control!"

"Okay I don't think Satan would take control, but you would grow wings again."

"Not helping Jongin, that flower makes me stay sane so if you could please give it to me before the demon in me grows bigger." Hoseok sighed annoyed and Jungkook could imagine that he was pinching the bridge of his nose "It's hard hiding from the family that you're serving that you're a demon."

Jungkook put his fist inside his mouth to not gasp. Hoseok a demon? 

"Yixing is not here at the moment." 

Hoseok groaned "Where is he you damn wolf?"

"Wow calm down, let me ask Kyungsoo if he can try to find something- wait."

"What is it Jongin?"

"Kyungsoo come inside here, and take the boy with you."

Jungkook felt a hand on his shoulder then someone making him crouch down slightly "Hello Jungkook." The person said.

Then he felt eyes looking at him, more specific Hoseok.
