once doyoung heard sicheng bidding him goodbye, the human heir checked his reflexion one last time in the mirror to make sure his hair was looking good.

he wanted to be handsome for jaehyun, which was surely something stupid since the other didn't see him as anything else than a prisoner surely.

anyway, after checking his reflexion, doyoung looked at his watch, congratulating himself from making his best friend leave before yuta would appear through the portal.

however, the human didn't expect to see both sicheng and yuta having a glaring contest inside his bedroom when he opened the bathroom's door.

"huh..." he let out, his hand still on the door handle.

this caught the attention of the two persons inside the bedroom.

"doyoung, huh... hi?" yuta waved at him with a sheepish smile.

"mind explaining who this handsome man is?" sicheng asked, his finger pointing at yuta accusingly.

doyoung gulped, his eyes diverting from yuta to his best friend every second.

and as if their situation wasn't problematic enough, it became even worse.

"yuta, what's taking you..." jaehyun spoke, walking though the portal and freezing once he realised there was someone unknown in the room with them. "...so long...?"

sicheng looked at the new person that had entered the room and turned around quickly to stare at his best friend.

"mind explaining who THESE handsome men ARE?" he asked again.

doyoung stayed silent for a second, his eyes looking right into jaehyun's, and feeling his cheeks getting red as well as his heartbeat getting faster.

he had missed him so much... and now, his feelings were getting overboard inside of his body. he felt like exploding at the simple sight of the demon heir, looking so hot, inside his bedroom.

"doyoung?" sicheng asked with a cough.

"please, don't get mad..." doyoung said quickly to his best friend.

"i'm not mad yet. just curious." sicheng replied. "who are they?"

"this is yuta, and this is jaehyun." doyoung introduced them to his best friend. "they are friends."

"oh." sicheng nodded. "then, can i know how you managed to make yourself two muscular friends who seem to not be sensitive to the cold weather we have there, and who come right from a portal bringing to a very red world?!"

"yeah... huh..." doyoung gulped.

"we're demons." yuta spoke, catching the attention of the two humans.

sicheng raised a brow before turning back towards his best friend.

"doyoung, what do you have to say?" he asked.

"it's... complicated?" he answered.

sicheng faced the two demons again.

"will you excuse us for a second?" he asked before gripping doyoung's hand and pulling themselves inside the bathroom and locking the door behind them.

doyoung closed his eyes immediately, expecting to be lashed and screamed at.

however, he didn't expect for his best friend to place his hands on his shoulders and shake him to death.

"you're friends with two hot pieces of meal and you didn't even tell me?!" he whisper-shouted.

doyoung slowly opened one eye, and then the other before furrowing his brows.

"you're not mad at me?" he asked.

"me? for what?"

"i'm friends with two demons." doyoung explained, thinking that sicheng perhaps didn't understand the situation.

"demons have always been this hot? because, damn... they overpass every boy of the human realm. have you seen the size of their arms?! they could just lift us with one hand!"

doyoung sighed, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.

of course, he had forgotten his best friend was a very gay boy, actively looking for someone to be with.

"in the demon realm, everybody is like this." doyoung explained.

"yeah, i guess that- wait a second! the demon realm? you've been there?!" sicheng's eyes widened.

"listen. promise not to get mad at me or at them."

"yeah, yeah. tell me." sicheng clapped his hands in excitement.

"they kidnapped me on the first day of school. they say that they want the two realms to be reunited again, and that the only peaceful way to do that is convince my parents. and as their only son, i'm the only one able to make them change their mind." doyoung explained. "so, i go in the demon realm every day to go to school with them and discover their realm."

sicheng listened carefully to his best friend's words, gasping from time to time.

once doyoung finished his monologue, sicheng recalled something that doyoung and him had talked about the day before.

"so, the inaccessible boy that you've caught feelings for... the one we talked about yesterday night... he's a demon?" sicheng asked.

"more than a demon, he's jaehyun, the heir to the demon throne." doyoung specified.

"oh my god..." sicheng gasped. "the heir to the demon throne is in your bedroom at the moment?! and you like him?!"

"yes, but please, don't go repeating this to everyone. he doesn't care about me, i'm just his prisoner."doyoung explained.

"we need to change that." sicheng replied. "you and him- "

"doyoung, is everything alright in here?" a voice that doyoung recognized to be jaehyun asked from the outside.

"yeah, yeah." doyoung replied, his cheeks bright red. "one minute please."

sicheng giggled loudly, seeing his best friend in a gay panick.

"sicheng, shut up." doyoung groaned.

"if jaehyun is yours, then, can i get yuta? he's handsome as hell."

doyoung rolled his eyes at his best friend's gayness.

"yeah, whatever. i'm not sure he doesn't have a girlfriend or something though."

"i'll use my charms to make him fall for me, anyway." sicheng replied. "let's get out now. your prince is waiting for you. oh, not prince! future king! that's even better!"

doyoung sighed. "shut up." he told as he opened the lock and got out of the bathroom with sicheng on his heels.

jaehyun was standing just in front of the door, and as soon as the two best friends got out, he pulled his crush closer, inspecting his face for traces of slaps or punches.

"he didn't hit you, did he?" he asked in a low voice, taking the boy's chin in his hand as he lifted his head.

"n-no, don't worry."

behind them, both yuta and sicheng were squealing together, happy seeing their best friends acting like lovers despite being completely oblivious about their feelings for each other.

"good." jaehyun declared, letting go of doyoung's face. "let's go. we're going to be late."

as jaehyun, yuta and doyoung were heading towards the portal, sicheng stopped them.

"wait, wait!" he squeaked.

"what?" jaehyun raised a brow.

"can i come with you?"

"with us?" yuta asked.

"yeah. to the demon realm and everything." sicheng nodded.

both demons exchanged a look before diverting their eyes to doyoung who was standing between them.

the human heir nodded with a smile.

"come with us then." yuta happily said, holding his hand out for sicheng to take so that he could pull him on the other side of the portal as well, in the demon realm.
