"ARE MY BROTHERS ALREADY there?" Jiyong asked before looking at the man who was driving beside him, Choi Seunghyun, also known as the Redeemer of the Arcs.

     "I called the restaurant earlier and they said that Taeil, Jihoon, Jackson, and Mark are already waiting at the private room," Seunghyun answered while his eyes were focused on the road.

     Jiyong took a deep breath and pulled out his phone. He then saw a text message from Hyunseung, saying that he was going to be late since he and Junhyung were still buying gifts for everyone. The moment he read the message, Jiyong's expression instantly becomes sour, making Seunghyun notice it.

     "What happened? Is everything alright?" Seunghyun asked, still not looking back at Jiyong.

     Jiyong took a deep breath and hid his phone. "No, it's nothing. Hyunseung just sent me a message that he and Junhyung will be late."

     When the stoplight turned red, Seunghyun removed his eyes on the road and looked at his ex-boss and now boyfriend. "Do you still like him?"

     Jiyong almost laughed when he heard the question, but he shook his head and seriously answered, "Of course not. He's my brother that I love with all my heart, and I'm happy that he's happy beside your stupid leader. Besides, you're already with me so it's fine."

     Seunghyun doesn't say anything, but then he leans towards Jiyong and gives him a quick kiss. The kiss surprised Jiyong, but before he could even react, the light turns green, and Seunghyun looked back at the road and started driving.

     "You're being bold now."

     "It's because you're being honest now."

    Jiyong smirked and leaned towards his lover to give him a quick kiss on the lips. "After this, I am seriously going to suck you dry."

     "I'd be honored."

     The two eventually arrive at the five-star restaurant that Jiyong chose himself. Seunghyun parks the car in front of the restaurant and immediately heads out of the car to open the door for his lover.

     Jiyong chuckles and steps out of the car before saying, "I told you, you don't work for me anymore."

     "Don't worry. It's boyfriend duties now," Seunghyun says with a blank expression. And before Jiyong could even say anything, a man that just came out of the sport's car behind them suddenly laughs and says, "Did I just hear it right? Did he just say...boyfriend?"

     Seunghyun and Jiyong look behind them and saw Suho with Lay standing beside him. Jiyong doesn't answer his question, but he smiles and grabs him for a hug.

     "It's good to see you Suho," Jiyong says before hugging Lay next.

     Suho then looks in Seunghyun's direction and tells him, "Looks like Jiyong can finally stop complaining about how he's the richest man in the world and he still couldn't have the only thing that he wants, which was you if you didn't get it."

     "I did not fucking say that!" Jiyong immediately defends, but Seunghyun draped his arms around his lover and answers Suho, "Don't worry, he already had me before he even knew it."

     "Oh my god, I can't believe you just said that," Lay says with a disgusted look on his face, and Seunghyun laughed and patted his head as the two finally walk inside the restaurant.

      The receptionist welcomed them, and the four of them were brought to the private room that Seunghyun reserved. Waiting inside was Taeil, Jihoon, Jackson, and Mark, who were all busy talking about their senior paper.

     "What's up fuckers!?" Jiyong shouted as soon as they got inside.

     "Looks like G Dragon is in the house," Jackson said as he and the others stood up so they could give each other a hug.

     Taeil then approached Jiyong and angrily looked back at him when he saw the bright smile on his face. "How can you look so happy while the rest of us look like shit thanks to our papers?"

     After giving Jackson a tight hug, Suho pointed at Seunghyun and answered Taeil's question for him. "How will he not look happy when he and Seunghyun here finally hit it off after all those agonizing years."

     "What?!" Mark and Jihoon practically shouted from shock, while Taeil and Jackson looked like they already expected it.

     "Well I'm not really surprised but it's about damn time, so congrats you two," Taeil says to Jiyong. And then he looked at Seunghyun and patted his back like he was comforting him. "And good luck to you. You're gonna need it."

     "What the hell does that mean you four eyes?!"

     "Four eyes?!"

     While they were bickering with each other, Sunggyu finally arrived with his lover, Woohyun. The two of them were holding bags that contained gifts for all of his brothers.

     "Are you guys seriously fighting again?" Sunggyu asked.

     Everyone looked at the entrance and saw the two lovers. The first one to run towards him was Taeil, who Sunggyu thought was going to hug him, but instead, he snatched the gifts from his hand to check them. "Yay! Gifts!"

     "Let me guess, Taeil didn't buy gifts again," Woohyun stated, and before Jihoon could even answer for him, Jiyong went in between them and answered, "Why are we still surprised about that? He didn't even buy me flowers when I died."

     "Alright, let's not go there you demon," Taeil says, pulling Jiyong away and messing his hair like they were kids.

     While the two were bickering with each other again, Jihoon went to Sunggyu and reached out his hand to shake it. "How's Hongkong?"

     Sunggyu laughed as he stared at Jihoon's hand. "What are we, business partners? Come here," he then says before grabbing Jihoon for a hug. "And it was fun and educational. I actually bought the gift there, and don't worry, all of you guys have one."

    "Thanks, Sunggyu."

     As everyone settled down, the rest of them finally arrived as well, which were Junhyung, Hyunseung, Minhyuk, and Sungjae.

     "Damn, I miss the noise," Hyunseung says as soon as he arrived.

     "JS!" Suho shouts, running towards his brother and hugging him tightly. "It's been a while since I've seen you. You don't play with me anymore."

     Junhyung, who was standing beside them, was about to pull them apart, but Minhyuk suddenly went to them and aggressively pulled Suho away before hitting his head. "How could you smile like that after doing something so evil!"

     Everyone looked at the two in confusion, so Minhyuk pointed at Suho angrily and said, "The four of us literally went out of the dorms together. I asked if we could ride with them, but this fucker just gave me money and told me to get a cab!" Minhyuk angrily explained, only making his brothers laugh.

     "Sorry Minhyuk," Lay said with a guilty look on his face.

     "Well, you're lucky he even gave you money. The last time we went out clubbing together and that fucker just left me in thin air. He just sent me a text and told me he already left," Tael explained, making them laugh again while Lay grabbed his bag to hit Suho with it.

     "Alright, before we hurt each other, let's all settle down and take a seat," Junhyung suggested, and everyone finally took their seats, which was pretty weird for them since they unconsciously sat on the place that they usually sat on when they were still at the holy home.

     Sunggyu looked at everyone and gave out a small smile. "Wow, I gotta admit, I miss living with everyone. After we became humans, the holy home just disappeared and everything just felt like a dream."

     "Yeah, and our guardian Dongmin disappeared with it and just left us money. It was pretty sad," Mark honestly added.

     "I can't believe it's been two years since the time we defeated the king," Hyunseung then stated. "We went through so much that there are times where I think to myself that maybe everything really was just a dream just like what Sunggyu said. But honestly, I don't know what I'd become now if all those things didn't happen."

     "We wouldn't have met each other if that was the case," Jiyong then said, and Jackson suddenly cleared his throat and added, "Yeah, especially Seunghyun here."

    The others were confused for a second, but then their eyes widened when they finally understood what Jackson meant.

     "Holy shit they finally hooked up," Junhyung said with a shocked expression on his face.

     Everyone at the table started talking, some congratulating them while some - including Junhyung and Minhyuk - started convincing Seunghyun that he's making the worst decision of his life.

     But while everyone was talking, Taeil suddenly asked, "So you guys already fucked then?"

     The table instantly became quiet, and at that moment, Jiyong's face suddenly turned red, and everyone practically went wild.

     "Wait, who's the top?" Woohyun asked, embarrassing Jiyong even more, which was pretty amusing since Jiyong wasn't really the shy type, so they were just teasing him at this point.

     "Oh come on, isn't it already obvious? Seunghyun's the top. It's his nickname after all. Right TOP?" Suho asked Seunghyun with a smirk, and Jiyong literally threw a bread knife in Suho's direction.

Suho thankfully dodges it, and then he looked at everyone on the table and asked, "Wait a damn minute. I'm pretty sure most of us here got their cherries popped last night as their birthday present. So who is it? Don't be shy."

     Lay practically face palmed himself, while Jackson grinned and pointed at Sunggyu and Woohyun. "I'm betting a thousand bucks that these two went crazy last night considering how Sunggyu was gone for a week."

    Everyone looked at Sunggyu and Woohyun to confirm it, but instead of feeling shy like Jiyong, Sunggyu smirked and crossed his arms before answering, "I'm actually so full that I almost canceled my lunch with you guys."

     "Whoa!" The son practically shouted.

     "That's my brother right there!" Suho cheered.

     "You guys are lucky," Taeil then complained. "I was too busy with my paper."

     "Same here," Minhyuk and Jackson answered together.

     Everyone then looked at Hyunseung and Junhyung since the two are known to be sex addicts, but to their surprise, Hyunseung raised his hand as if he surrendered. "Nope, I was as fresh as a virgin last night. Junhyung was too busy with his paper, and he practically forgot about my birthday."

     "Seriously Junhyung? Why am I even surprised," Sunggyu commented, and Junhyung immediately defended himself.

     Everyone started talking about normal stuff again, which was something that they didn't know that they'd be able to talk about again when they were still angels and demons. They talked about graduation, their jobs, and even Taeil's marriage with Jihoon, which was followed by Jackson's marriage announcement with Mark.

      They celebrated their birthday like there was no tomorrow until the food arrived. And after their expensive lunch - which was sponsored by Jiyong - wine was brought in, and they started having casual drinks which were partnered with a really good conversation about their past.

     "And then they got naked at the pool," Jiyong shared, talking about the time all seven of them went on their first trip together at a hotel that Jiyong's father rented for them.

     "How about the time we went to Ophanim? Those were the best days of my life," Minhyuk stated, but then Lay looked at him and asked, "What are we talking about here? When we went to Ophanim to take a break before the war, or when you and Sungjae went to Ophanim and had your first kiss."

     The boys started teasing the two innocent lovers, but Minhyuk confidently answers, "Both actually."

    Everyone at the table laughed as Sungjae completely turned red. But as they were talking, someone suddenly opened the door, making everyone stop talking.

     They were expecting it to be a waiter, but to their surprise, it was actually their guardian, Kharon and Dongmin.

     "Kharon?!"

     "Dongmin?!"

     The fourteen of them all shouted together.

     The two guardians looked at each other before smiling back at the sons.

     "Happy birthday kids," Kharon greeted.

    Sunggyu was about to ask what they were doing there, but then they notice the familiar boxes that they were holding.

     "W-Why do guys have that?" Taeil asked with furrowed brows.

     "Well, as much as we want to celebrate, we actually have something important to ask of you," Dongmin answered as he opened the box that he was holding, revealing seven bright silver rings. The sight of the rings alone left the sons speechless.

     "What's going on? Why do you have our rings?" Junhyung asked, slowly standing up from his seat.

    Kharon took a step forward and looked at the men in front of him. "We actually have a problem in hell. It's about a troublesome demon who accidentally released the locks of the king's thirteen soldiers. It's a pretty hard task but..." Kharon paused and opened the box that he's holding as well.

     The Demons' mouths opened wide when they saw their own rings in it.

     "We kinda need the prince of hell and heaven's assistance, if that's alright with all of you," Kharon finished, and the room was completely silent.

     Sunggyu slowly stood up from his seat, and then he and Junhyung looked at each other. The two leaders didn't even have to say anything or ask their other brothers because the excited smiles on their faces already answered it for them.

     "We're in," both leaders answered in unison.

     And just like that, another chapter of their story begins.
