"If someone else saw y'all now, they would think I have a bunny farm."

The comment was made by Lily who had her cheek rested on her palm and looking at the four people in front of her. She had noticed similarities between them before, but couldn't quite put a finger on the fact as to why they feel similar. She has finally managed to figure it out seeing the four of them sitting together and really ironically eating carrot cake that Doyoung baked.

The four of them simultaneously turned to her when they heard that. Lily was again assured about her conclusion when she saw the four creatures turn towards her at the same time, while eating carrot cake.

Intense bunny energy.

Why didn't she notice it before?

"Noona, What are you talking about?"Gaeul asked showing his bunny teeth.

"The four of you look like bunnies,"Lily said.

Doyoung and Jungkook were confused. While Soobin said,"I've heard that. Mi.."He paused as his cheeks turned red.

Lily smirked,"Did Miyeon say it too?"

"No!"Soobin exclaimed while his cheeks turned red like a tomato. Such a bad liar.

Lily chuckled while leaning back on her chair,"I'm quite certain that we can start a bunny cult right now. I can be the cult leader, I can take over the world with a bunch of bunnies."

Doyoung was completely unamused by her cult joke in front of Gaeul. Gaeul immediately asked,"Noona? What's a cult?"

Doyoung smiled,"It is a complex topic, little one. I will explain it to you later."

"Yes, our Gaeul should know such stuff if he wants to be a police officer when he grows up,"Soobin said smiling widely at Gaeul.

Silence hung over the room as soon as Soobin uttered these words. This is an intensely touchy subject. Lily is sure in the last couple of days Doyoung has tried to persuade Gaeul in smart ways to rethink his wish of becoming a police officer. Hard work, insufficient pay, people not acknowledging their efforts what not. Gaeul is not persuaded. For a ten year old he is very stubborn. He keeps saying these three aren't the reason that he's wanting to be a police officer.

Gaeul and Soobin were confused by the silence in the room. Lily quickly changed the subject to not let this grim atmosphere stick around. Her mind is already a chaos. She doesn't want to start something new quite yet.

"Doyoung-ah, your baking is trash,"Lily commented without meaning it, she is sure Doyoung knows it too.

"Trashy baking can be fixed, trashy personality can't be fixed,"Doyoung retorted, savagely.

"Ouch?"Lily smirked,"Our lil Doyoungie has gotten pretty bold. Maybe he wants a knife.."

"AHHH!"Soobin suddenly shouted, like he always shouts when Lily says some out of pocket shit in front of Gaeul.

"Don't listen to her, Doyoung. Your carrot cake is extremely delicious,"Jungkook commented,"Could I have one more slice?"

Doyoung smirked at Lily in victory before turning to Jungkook,"Sure you can, give me your plate."

Lily pretended to be really annoyed but how nice was the sight in front of her. All the people she held close to her heart sitting around the table, eating and enjoying their food. How she wishes things could be like that forever and they didn't have danger looming over their heads every single second. How nice would that be!

Lily sat on Doyoung's backyard where two chairs were set up side by side. Lily came out here for some fresh air while Jungkook and Soobin helped Doyoung clean up the mess they caused after dinner. When Jungkook heard she was going to the backyard he ran towards her and huddled her in the big padded coat he bought a few days ago for her. Thanks to that it still feels warm and cozy even in this cold night.

Lily took a deep breath looking at the large dark sky. Everything was so serene. So peaceful. So nice. It felt so nice being near them. Since her birthday Lily had been trying her best to spend more time with all of them together. She just likes it that way. It gives her a sense of security knowing all of them are with her and if anyone tries to harm them at least she would be there to protect them. Of course, she didn't tell Soobin or Doyoung what happened on her birthday. She didn't tell them about father's return, the letter or even about Lin. She didn't want to scare them, neither does she want them to be involved. She also forbade Jungkook from telling them anything. He kept his promise.

Lily saw a huge change in Jungkook too. For the first time ever he looked murderous, sinister, scary. Whenever the topic of either Lin or her father comes up, he looks like he would kill both of them in a second. Lily doesn't know if she should be flattered or scared. Lily has told Jungkook that this time she is definitely gonna kill her father and they have to find a way to do it. Jungkook told her to pause for a few days and wait for him as he's onto something. He didn't tell Lily what it was but Lily trusted his wish and is currently waiting for Jungkook's signal. Also the secondary reason being, Lily is hella scared. She has never in her life taken herself to be a scaredy cat. But this time she can't help but be scared about everything. Scared of losing her closed ones, scared of anyone harming them, scared of losing the happiness than she is feeling for the first time in her life, scared of...dying. Her father isn't someone easy. So if she wants to go against him, there is a high possibility that he might end up killing her. So she is secretly glad that the process is being a bit postponed.

"Cold Noona!"Gaeul's cheerful voice pulled her out of her train of thoughts. She turned towards the voice to see him stand in front of her with a big smile on his face, huddled in warm fuzzy jackets with a bright red beanie and holding a bottle of yogurt towards her,"Jungkook hyung told me to give this to you!"

"Oh,"Lily said as she took the yogurt from her hand and stabbed the top with the straw,"Thank you."

Gaeul beamed as he took a seat beside Lily,"What are you doing here?"

"Just thinking,"Lily said while sipping her yogurt,"Go inside. You might catch a cold."

"I feel like I'm immune to cold, noona,"Gaeul said,"I've been on the cold streets for long. So it's okay."

Lily looked at Gaeul, trying to find a hint of sadness in his voice. But thankfully there were none. Seems like he is completely over his past life, which is amazing.

Lily realized that she has never talked one on one with Gaeul ever really. Especially since Lily doesn't know how to talk to children, neither is she a big fan of them. But seeing how her future is uncertain, Lily decided to start a real conversation with Gaeul. She tried her best to not say something weird to scare him off,"So..how's school?"

"It is going really well! I have a lot of friends now!"

Lily found out Gaeul is fairly talkative. He can go on and on about a single topic if asked. He literally named all of his friends, how they became friends, all of his teachers, all the subjects he likes and dislikes just by asking one single question about school.

Lily listened attentively, she can't believe she is actually listening to a child blabber about school without getting insanely bored. Who knew this day would come?

Gaeul then talked about Doyoung. How much he loves and respects him, how smart he is, how kind he is and how much Doyoung takes care of Gaeul. Lily also found out how eloquent, smart and well spoken Gaeul is for his age. Conversation led from one topic to another and Lily found herself asking this question,"Why..did you pick police officer as a career path, Gaeul-ah?"

Lily then tried to make the question less intense,"I mean there are way cooler.."

Gaeul smiled,"I want to catch bad guys and protect good people."

"That's nice and all.."

"Bad guys like my dad. Good guys like you and Doyoung hyung."

Lily chuckled,"Gaeul-ah..I know it might look like we are good guys.."

"No but you are,"Gaeul said,"The people that get rid of bad guys are good guys."

Lily frowned. How much does this child know? How smart is this kid? Lily is sure Doyoung didn't tell Gaeul anything about their work. But both Lily and Doyoung seems to surely have underestimated Doyoung's intelligence.

"Gaeul-ah, how much do you know?"Lily asked.

In reply, Gaeul just gave a knowing smile,"Enough."

Lily really felt like she was talking to a full grown adult at that point,"Gaeul-ah."

"The police couldn't protect my mother, but when I grow up and become a police officer I'm gonna protect everyone. I'm gonna be the best police officer there is. Protect Doyoung hyung with everything so no one can touch him,"Gaeul said,"Hyung seems to hate police officers, even though he acts like he's perfectly fine in front of me, I know it. I'm gonna make sure I will become such a police officer that he would be proud of!" Gaeul nodded after saying that, as if to emphasis his determination.

Lily smiled when he heard that. Is it weird that she feels safe knowing Doyoung would be with Gaeul? Feeling Gaeul would be able to protect Doyoung even though he's only ten years old? Lily slowly stretched her hand out and did something completely out of character. She patted Gaeul's head, earning a pure smile from the little boy.

"I guess, Doyoungie is in good hands."

That night when Lily and Jungkook stepped into their house, both of them immediately felt odd. Lily spotted how the house was way colder than usual, almost freezing. Jungkook picked up the inhumane aura coming from the bedroom.

Immediately they both understood that they were not alone in the house.

There was someone waiting for them in the pitch black darkness of their living room.

Lily grabbed onto Jungkook's hand,"It's probably the Lin fucker again, let's just go out for now.."

Lily was confused when she saw Jungkook's lips curve up in a smile,"It's not."

Lily tilted her head in confusion as she saw Jungkook leave the entry area, enter the living room and turned the light switch on. The entire room immediately got illuminated with bright lights, every corner lit up.

Lily was even more confused and shocked when the lights revealed an unknown man sitting on their couch with his legs crossed, looking down and fedora hat covering his eyes, legs crossed confidently. He say with one of his iced out hand resting on top of couch and one hand other hand playing with his fancy fur overcoat.

As soon as the lights turned on the unknown person smirked and said,"A little birdie told me a brat called my fashion sense trash, so here I am to give that brat a piece of my mind."

The stranger slowly looked up. Lily is quite good at hiding her expression that is why she was able to not let her jaw drop on the floor at the beauty of the stranger. What is he? Adonis?

"V hyung, you came!"Jungkook exclaimed from beside her like an excited little puppy.

"I waited so long for you to come home," 'V' said while standing up. Lily could finally see how over the top he was dressed. Red suit, fur coat, fedora with jewels on, belt with embellishments, galore of rings on his hands. Robbers would have a party if they saw him walking around the streets.

"Sorry, hyung for wasting your time,"Jungkook said as he attacked the 'V' guy in a hug. He hugged back, even patted Jungkook's back,"I'm glad to see you're doing well. I was worried about you hearing what kind of psychopath you were trapped with."

Lily frowned and finally said,"I'm sorry to be a buzzkill in this seemingly happy reunion, Kook, But What the fuck? Why do I have to be called a psychopath from a living mashup of a circus clown and a disco ball?"

V left Jungkook and gasped at the insult,"What did you say, little girl?"

"Hyung, stop, I mean..she isn't wrong.."

"How dare you? I wouldn't stand here and listen to you insult my fashion sense for one more second, you tasteless swines,"V said, rolling his eyes.

Jungkook chuckled happily. That's his V hyung. Extremely dramatic and extra.

Jungkook looked at Lily,"Lily, meet V hyung. He's been with me for as long a so can remember. And hyung, Lily."

Lily felt like she was being judged by this V guy. So she returned the exact same energy. She also narrowed her eyes judging him,"Hello. From next time it would be appreciated if you didn't come in our house with shoes on."

"You're just like Seokjin hyung said. Very interesting. But Seokjin hyung failed to relay how pretty you were. I was wondering why our Kookie was so head over heels for a psy.."

"Hyung."

Lily smirked at the sudden backhanded compliment,"You are also not too bad for a creature residing in hell. Well..as you're his friend, I'm assuming you're also a demon?"

"Demon, Huh?"V said, as if tasting the word on his mouth. Then he smirked,"Yeah..something like that."

Lily didn't know what that means and honestly she doesn't care that much. She has more things to care about.

V then said,"I've heard your and Jungkook's story. It is quite an odd one if I do say so myself, don't you think?"

"Odd one sure, but also a very fun one. I believe Kook saw more interesting things with me, than in his long time staying in hell,"Lily smirked.

"Never. Oh you should've seen our Jungkook in his natural habitant. Oh he was wild,"V said as if he was reminiscing the old memories,"He knew how to had fun. He was..."

Jungkook raised his eyebrows, "Hyung? What're you doing?"

Lily raises her eyebrows at this new information. Jungkook? Wild?

This V guy didn't seem to want to stop,"Demon girls would line up just to see him. They still miss him so much,"He then looked at Jungkook,"Do you remember Sarah? She was just asking about..."

This time Jungkook panicked,"Yeah, Yeah, Hyung. I think you need to taste the wine we just bought. It's ama.."

But it was too late.

Lily had heard it all. Her blood was boiling, the room was cold but she felt insanely hot. But she just smirked, keeping all her emotions in as she usually does,"Who is Sarah?"

Jungkook could see the crazed look on her face. He widened his eyes,"Lil, don't worry about her.."

"One of his past fangirls that threw themselves on him. I think Sarah was the most successful fangirl because she got to.."

"HYUNG FOR FUCK'S SAKE READ THE ROOM!!!"Jungkook shouted, panicking.

"One of...Huh?"Lily chuckled. No humor was spotted in her chuckle. She obviously didn't like any of it. She literally had a vision of promiscuous, hot devil girls throwing themselves all over Jungkook. Her boyfriend. Something about that vision made her reach into her hoodie's pocket. She felt the blade of her knife touch her fingers,"Can I meet this Sarah woman?"

"Oh no, you can't,"Jungkook said, still panicked,"I never even liked her. Oh no, this is not how this night is supposed to go."

V who finally understood what was happening, just said,"Oh."

Jungkook looked at him,"Oh? Just an Oh? Hyung, Lily thinks I did something weird with that Sarah girl. Tell her I didn't, What the fuck?"

V then looked at her,"Yeah, he is right. Sarah was the one who tried to pursue him and he kept rejecting her. I apologize for the misunderstanding."

Lily let go of her blade. She felt down. All of a sudden. Not because she was jealous, no. She was sad because she realized how little she knew about her boyfriend's life before her and Soobin.
She realized she didn't know how Jungkook was when he was in hell. Heck, he barely even talked about his past. He was always so riled up in her problems that he barely got a chance to talk about himself. That made her immensely. But she didn't want to ruin the mood any farther. She nodded and looked up at both of them,"Nah. It's fine. I will let you guys catch up and go to my room. Have a nice chat, you two!"

"And.."Lily paused and looked at V,"Your fashion choice is not that trash. It's interesting, Sure. But not trash. I was just joking."

"I suddenly like you,"V said with a big smile.

"Well, you have to like her, hyung,"Jungkook said cheekily. No one at that time understood what he meant by that sentence. And what deep meaning that sentence actually had.

Jungkook brought V to the rooftop to talk. Lily can't hear what they're going to talk about. Jungkook doesn't want her to.

"So, I reckon you had something to discuss with me?"V asked, sitting on the straw bed of the roof top gracefully. Jungkook had brought two wine glasses and a wine they bought few days ago. He poured one glass for V and V accepted it.

"Yes, I sure did,"Jungkook said while sitting beside him,"I am kinda in a pickle and you are the only one that is capable of helping me."

"Should I be flattered or worried?"V asked while swirling his glass of wine.

Jungkook chuckled,"I honestly don't know."

"Tell me, Jungkook. Fill me on your ridiculous idea."

"So..."Jungkook said,"First one question, do you think a demon can kill another demon?"

"What?"V asked, feeling his blood pressure slowly rising up.

"I kinda want to kill a demon. In what position do you think that would put me with master?"

"He's gonna be pissed. He's already pissed at you, you don't wanna piss him even more. He might just ban you from hell."

Jungkook felt his morale weakening,"But.."

"Demons don't kill their own brothers, Kook. I thought you were better than that."

Jungkook sighed.

"Who even is that demon you were wishing to kill? Did Lily transfer her murderous rage into you? Is that why you want to kill?"

"I just want to protect her from a nightmare. And I think killing that bastard is the only solution,"Jungkook said.

"Who's it? Someone I know?"

"I don't know whether you know him or not. His name is Lin. And I absolutely despise him. He's the key reason why Lily's like that."

"What did you say? Lin?"V asked looking at him,"The pretentious silver haired rascal?"

Jungkook nodded,"You know him?"

V snapped his fingers,"Of course, I do. Everyone in hell does. They know him and absolutely hates his guts. Even master."

"Oh?"Jungkook asked,"Why master?"

"Oh boy, let me give you the freaking scoop,"V turned excitedly at Jungkook,"He declared himself to be the best demon out there as the human he has bond with is freaking trash and commits a shit load of crimes on the daily."

Jungkook nodded. Of course, Lily's father is trash. They been knew.

"He even declared that one day he's gonna be equal to master and defeat master and take his place."

"What the fuck?"

"Yeah, he keeps saying that to anyone that would listen. He even declared that he's not gonna return to hell before he can defeat master."

"Oh fuck no. I'm sure master didn't take that lightly."

"Oh he fucking did not. Because master ordered everyone to kill him as soon as he steps a foot in hell."

"Why in hell? Why not on earth? He's not gonna return there anytime soon if he's heard the news."

"Because in earth you can't kill a devil if they're in a bond with a human. Before the human dies, you can't do anything. The bond is too strong."

"So you gotta wait till that human dies?"

V nodded but then snapped his fingers,"Unless that devil decides to break his bond with the human. But that barely ever happens. Why would a devil break a bond with a human.."

Jungkook widened his eyes at the brilliant plan he got,"Oh dear, it might just be the best thing that has ever come out of your mouth."

V frowned,"What?"

"I just have to make Lin break his bond with her father!"

"But why would he even do that?"

Jungkook smirked, remembering how eager Lin was to form a bond with Lily,"Because he is crazy."

"I can't even disagree. He did one more crazy thing, do you know? He wrote a letter to master about ten years ago that he was utterly enamored by a fifteen year old human girl and how beautiful she was when she held blades in her hand. Quote unquote 'his perfect partner'. The letter was so unbearably cheesy and weird that even master couldn't read it father than a paragraph of wanting to break her, have her, worship her and what not. It was all sorts of weird and gross. Not forgetting the fact that it also gave intense pedo vibes. Like brother...? She's fifteen? What the hell?"

Jungkook could feel his blood boiling when he heard that. His hands curled up to a fist. He knew about Lin's weird obsession with Lily, But this is just taking things too far.

"If you want to kill Lin, I guess master would be rather happy. You might even get some extra brownie points. So..damn..I don't understand if I should cheer you on or not. Because he's dangerous. Why do you even want to kill him?"

"The girl you talked about..is Lily,"Jungkook said through gritted teeth.

V was shocked,"What? Really?"

Jungkook nodded,"I don't care. I will kill him. No matter what it takes."

"You seem so determined, I don't even know what to say."

"Just say how to slay his ass,"Jungkook said,"What do I do after I make him break his bond?"

"Oh, once he breaks his bond, he will no longer have the power he gathered from that human's crimes. So he will get pretty weaker. Then you stab him with the 'dagger of death' and he will vanish from the face of the universe."

"Hyung, you do have the dagger of death on you, don't you?"Jungkook asked,"Of course, you do. Borrow it to me."

"Jungkook. Do you know how precious this is and how hard I had to work for it? It's for emergency purposes,"V said.

"This is an emergency!"

"Kook.."

"Please. I will return it unscathed. There won't be a scratch on it."

V sighed, knowing Jungkook is gonna get his way one way or another,"Fine. Only for a few days and you better not ruin it."

Jungkook smiled,"Of course, I won't."

V reached in one of the pockets of his suit and brought out a beautiful, magnificent looking black dagger that glistened under the moonlight,"Wow."

Jungkook was in awe when he held the cold metal in his hand. He couldn't believe he was holding the dagger of death. The most famous dagger of the underworld that is used to slay unruly devils that dared to challenge their master. Only a few creatures own it, V being one of them. Jungkook still remembers how hard V worked for it.

"That's my baby. You better not.."

"I won't,"Jungkook said while putting it in his pocket after he finished admiring it.

Then he looked at V,"I can't thank you enough for this hyung."

V smiled,"Don't mention it."

"I would be even more grateful if you did me one more favor. The main favor I asked you here for."

V frowned,"This wasn't the main favor? There's more? What the hell?"

Jungkook smiled,"Only you can help me with this crazy idea."

"What is it? I have a bad feeling about this."

Jungkook smiled ear to ear and said as normally as he could,"Take Lily under your wing."

V almost choked on his wine,"What?"

Jungkook kept smiling as if smiling would make his statement less ridiculous,"I don't want her to suffer in hell after she dies. I love her and this is the only solution I could come up with."

V couldn't keep his calm anymore at this ridiculousness,"Jungkook, are you hearing yourself? What do you even mean? That's not even how it works. You are no stranger to the procedure, Jungkook. I'm not the one who has the authority to make this happen. Humans can't become..."

"Hyung, Listen I know. But there has to be something we can do. I have to make Lily one of your kind after death. She's even perfect for the job. Anyone can tell."

"But Jungkook, this is..wait a minute...if you kill Lin..master would be pleased. So he might just grant you a wish...Oh dear, it sounds so crazy it just might work!"

"Yes!"Jungkook exclaimed,"Yes!!"

"I would go back to hell and pull some strings. But for this to actually happen you have to make sure to get rid of Lin. That's gonna be dangerous. But if you're really adamant on making Lily like me, you gotta go through with it. Or else there's no hope."

"Yes, hyung. I will make sure it happens,"Jungkook said it with utmost determination,"I will kill him."

V nodded and stood up,"I gotta go now. I spent more time here then I should've. Work is piling up."

Jungkook sprang up and engulfed V in a hug,"Thank you hyung. I knew I could count on you."

V smiled and ruffled his hair. Before leaving he looked at Jungkook and asked,"You sure do love this girl, don't you? But does this girl feel the same? Does she love you?"

Jungkook just smiled at that question, but didn't reply.

After sending V off, Jungkook returned home with V's last question in mind. Truly, does she love Jungkook? He has told her 'I love you' multiple times, but she has never once said it back. So does she not?

Jungkook came back home with a iffy feeling in his heart, expecting Lily to be asleep once he gets home. But to his surprise when he entered home, smell of freshly cooked ramen hit his nose.

"Huh?"

Once he entered the house, he saw Lily waiting for him with his favorite ramen and banana milk. She was visibly excited when he came back,"Did your talk go well?"

"Yes...but what is this?"

"Ah! I couldn't sleep so I prepared some late night ramen and thought we could eat ramen and have a talk. Only if you're up for it though. I realized that I know so little about your past and you're so worked up in my problems that you barely even have a chance to talk about yourself. I feel like a bad girlfriend. Well..I kinda am."

"What? No!"

Lily smiled. That smile never fails to make his heart pounce against his chest,"Anyway, I was hoping to get to know bout your past tonight. Only if you're comfortable of course!"

"What're you talking about? Of course I'm comfortable, I should've said it long ago anyway!"Jungkook said excitedly. His heart bouncing at the excitement of telling her the stories from back in hell.

"Yeah..but don't talk about your past flings. I might want to slap some bitches,"Lily said pointing a chopstick at him threateningly.

That made him laugh. She laughed too. That night they are ramen and he talked about all the fun stories he had. Of his house, of his hyungs, of master. Of scandals in hell. So many more. Lily listened to him with all of her attention. Praised him when he talked about something heroic, expressed her wish to meet rest of his hyungs. Jungkook told her that Seokjin was the one that manipulated him into making a bond with her. Lily was a bit taken aback when she heard that.

"That's extremely shady of him,"Lily said. But then contemplated for a bit.

"What're you thinking about?"

"Whether I want to whoop his ass for making this decision for you, or if I want to thank him."

Jungkook chuckled,"so what's your verdict?"

"My verdict is..I will thank him."

"Why?"

"Because without him we wouldn't have come this far. I wouldn't have experienced the most beautiful feeling of my life."

"And What is that?"

Lily smiled and changed the topic,"Enough for tonight, let's go to sleep."

Jungkook also smiled as Lily got up with the empty ramen pot to put it in the sink.

Jungkook's smile got larger when she was out of sight. He feels stupid for questioning her feelings in his mind before. Her, listening to his story, being ready to give to on crime for him only, if this isn't love, what is? Her doing these out of character things for him, if this isn't love, what is? She just doesn't know how to say it yet. That's okay.

That night Jungkook was reconfirmed in his mind that he had no shadow of doubt that he could do anything for this girl.
