"He's up to no good hyuck"

Jeno sounded worried as Haechan hummed. The two were currently inside their room having an idea about who the certain monster could be. He came in search of them and he, as far as they know, would do anything dirty just to get them out of their hiding.

"Do you think Sungchan betrayed us?" Haechan asked tilting his head as Jeno halted. He too had those suspicions. Even though they have come to be on good terms with the younger monster they still couldn't rule out the possibility of him betraying the two. Considering the fact that he was of a lower grade compared to Taeyong he might as well be forced to blurt out.

"Yes and no. Honestly, I do have my fair share of doubts but let's see...do you have his number?"

Haechan nodded grabbing his phone. They better get answers before it's too late to fix the mess. Haechan and Jeno have come this far in search of the specific male and they wouldn't let any one of their species hurt humans. Sure they were built for that but having spent some time among those creatures they wouldn't want them to hurt.

Maybe Haechan might have someone as an exception who for no reason pesters Renjun.

"Hey!" Sungchan chirped from the other side as Jeno rolled his eyes. The younger male seemed too pleasant for a situation like this. It was way beyond him how the other could stay happy while someone of their kind was on loose.

"Don't hey me. You have to be real honest with us" Haechan's words were sharp as the younger male sighed a bit before humming.

"What do you want to know?"

"Do you perhaps met Taeyong hyung? Does he know where you live?"

Sungchan resisted the urge to roll his eyes. The siblings couldn't seem to get it to their thick heads that he, in no way, had any sort of contact with the older monster. If anything he was scared for his life knowing that Taeyong has entered the city as well.

"Geez! I don't know! Don't you both understand that I have no connection with him? Heck! Even I'm trying to escape from his eyes" the younger defended himself as Haechan nibbled his lips, still not buying the other's part of the story.

"Do you think I will believe you that easily?" He asked as a scoff was heard on the other line with Jeno clenching his fists.

"C'mon! You all should at least make some sense before speaking! I, in no way, have any contact with Taeyong."

"So you mean you haven't met him?" Jeno chided in, grabbing the phone out of his younger brother's hands as the other rolled his eyes for the nth time.

"Of course I don't- wait a minute...You guys told me that you both knew where he was right? You even told me that you both won't betray me so why the hell are you asking me where he was?"

Jeno blinked his eyes before handing the phone back to his brother with Haechan creasing his eyebrows.

"You both lied to me, tricked me into saying why I was here in the first place and then have the audacity to call and ask whether I know about his whereabouts-"

Haechan's mouth went dry as he bit his lip trying to think of some kind of response. He completely forgot about the fact that the two tricked him into saying why he was there in the first place.

"Don't raise your voice at us like that Jung Sungchan!" Haechan stated firmly using his power as their upcoming king as Jeno cheered from beside.

"It doesn't affect you whether we know about his whereabouts or not. But you" he paused trying to lower his voice, "You better tell us if you know where he is"

"And what if I don't?" The younger sassed back as it was Haechan's turn to roll his eyes. Seriously, the younger was quite a handful that he badly wanted to behead the other.

"You'll face the consequences"

"As if" scoffing the other continued, "do you think you will be accepted back to the underworld once you head back after finding your so-called love? I don't think so! As far as I heard they're planning to behead you both and serve to the dogs guarding the palace. You guys wouldn't stand a chance against that"

"What if we will? What if we will survive that?"

"Good for you then. Pretty much sure that you wouldn't survive but oh well"

"Don't give me that attitude sungchan-"

"What if I will? It's not like we're living in our world!"

"Our world? So you're not the only monster?"

Mumbling a curse under his breath Haechan ended the call throwing the phone towards the bed. He swore he could hear Jaemin in the background.

"What happened?" the older monster sat beside his brother as Haechan sighed.

"Your love overheard our conversation" 

"My love- oh jaemin heard you both?" 

Humming Haechan laid back, shutting his eyes as he heaved a sigh. The whole situation was stressful and if they weren't able to find a solution fast things might get out of hand. It hasn't even been two days yet there were a lot of casualties. 

"Hyuck, what if it's not taeyong?"

"What do you mean?" Haechan shot up sitting on the edge as he observed his brother who seemed to be serious.

"I can't assure you but we can't rule out the possibility of this monster not being Taeyong. As much as I agree with the fact that he will go out of his way to do anything and everything just to fulfill his duties to our dad, it's still possible that he isn't the one behind this. Now that I think if it was him he would have left something else for us or even dared to find where we're living. It's not that hard for him right?" 

"You do have a point so who else would it be then if it's not him? Who else would have escaped the underworld and dared to come here?"

"Probably someone just like us and sungchan. But unlike the three of us..." he paused casting his eyes on the window, "he came to quench his thirst and would do nothing but harm to mankind. We should find him as soon as possible and maybe even use the help of Sungchan and Taeyong?"

"We're not yet sure that Taeyong isn't the one behind this. Plus Sungchan isn't in a good mood either and he's quite a handful-"

"But he's powerful Hyuck! I've seen him practice along with jaehyun hyung. He's quite strong for his age and I'm sure that he'll be of some use" 

Haechan nodded, agreeing with his brother. Though he hasn't seen Sungchan practicing he was still sure that he could be counted on knowing that he's from the Jung bloodline.

"So how will we try to negotiate? Do you have any ideas?"

"I kind of do but for that...we must first find Taeyong" 

"Won't it be risky for us?"

"Well...it's for a good cause...let's just try to be of some kind of help. After all, we are the only ones who could end this" Jeno had a point. Four of them, if united, could end whoever was behind this. They could easily outnumber the other that is if it's just one person behind. Haechan seems to be satisfied with the plan.

"Before that, we have to make a plan to go out and possible search for Taeyong"

They smiled at each other before heaving a sigh hoping that everything turns out to be well.

What they didn't notice was the presence of someone outside the door who was eavesdropping on their conversation. Though he didn't mean to his ears perked up at the mention of a certain male and he stood there for a good time which explains why he was knocking on the door now. Jeno,startled by the sound after a long hour of silence, jolted up as he went to open the door.

"Renjun?" Jeno's brows furrowed at the sight of the male who wore a serious expression despite the attire he was in. He wanted to laugh out tho. If he didn't have his eyes on Jaemin he might have probably fallen for Renjun.

"I knew you were trouble right from the day I saw you both. Move aside, I need to talk to you both"

TBC

Honestly, wtf am I doing here? I should be sleeping now since I'm not feeling well. plus I have revisions to do which I, obviously, skipped. also my goodness! my teachers think that I'm lying the whole time like it's not my fault that I look guilty even though I didn't do anything. it's better than you all seeing my RBF (legit have been called out by my teacher for being emotionless and that I should smile in order for her to feel better).

And yes we're back to the same old predictable series of events. I tried to make it as interesting as possible but I'm having second thoughts now. I'm not satisfied with my drafts imfao. Hopefully, I'll stick to the original instead of messing up the whole thing.

Edit: Don't mind my rant. I'm honestly exhausted which made me write those.
