"it's him."

all the fallen demon turned around towards the way jaemin's finger was pointing at.

a fallen demon was seated on a rocking chair, a dozen of meters further, not paying attention to everything that was happening in the fallen forest.

"you have something to deal... with him?" a demon asked, raising a brow.

jaemin nodded.

"are you sure he's the one?" another repeated.

"baby, you're 100% sure? it could be another one..." donghyuck asked his boyfriend.

"i know what i saw. and i know what i see. he's the one." jaemin repeated.

"if you say so..." the fallen shrugged.

a loud whistle was heard, almost deafening jaemin.

"ilsung!" the fallen yelled. "someone is there for you!"

the fallen demon on the rocking chair lifted his head, squinting his eyes to look at the ruckus a few meters away from him.

he ended standing up and waling to the crowd of people with furrowed brows.

"what the hell is happening here?" he asked with a pissed voice.

"this human over here claims to have something to do with you."

the fallen demon diverted his eyes from his fallen friend to look at jaemin in the eye.

jaemin petrified on the spot.

after two long years, his parent's murderer was standing in front of him, in all his glory.

his eyes were still glowing red, disgusting jaemin.

his body was tall and thin.

and he seemed to be wearing the same old and dirty clothes he was wearing when he killed his parents.

"who are you?" the fallen demon asked, his voice low and scary.

"na jaemin." the human replied, trying not to look at the demon's eyes for too long.

as strange as it seemed, he didn't hate those eyes anymore.

they reminded him of donghyuck's.

and he had learned to love donghyuck's red orbs.

he had learned to love all of donghyuck actually.

but now that he was in love with the demon, he found his eyes hot and attractive.

and now, the fact that his mortal enemy had the same glowing red eyes was disturbing for jaemin.

he felt awful thinking about his boyfriend when the man facing him was a murdered.

he felt awful imagining donghyuck instead of this criminal.

he would never hurt donghyuck.

but he will hurt this assassin.

"na what?"

"you don't know him, ilsung?" a fallen demon asked.

"i don't think so..." jaemin's parents' killer – also known as ilsung – replied.

"do we throw him out?"

"wait!" donghyuck spoke.

"what is it demon?" ilsung asked loudly.

"you have to remember him." donghyuck insisted. "you killed his parents in front of his eyes. two years ago. you ran over them with your car and then you threw a knife at them!"

as if something had lit inside ilsung's mind, his red eyes widened. the fallen demon turned around to look at jaemin.

"are you na haeyoung's son?" he asked.

"i am." jaemin replied.

the fallen demon that killed his parents two years ago approaching him slowly.

"ilsung, what are you doing? do you know him?"

"i do..." he whispered, looking at jaemin from head to toe.

"what do you want us to do with them?"

"nothing." ilsung replied. "i have some things to clear up with him."

ilsung grabbed jaemin's jaw to make the human look at him in the eye.

as soon as his hand came in contact with jaemin's pure skin, his hand was pushed away by his demon boyfriend.

"don't touch him." he spat; venom laced with his voice.

"oh..." ilsung chuckled. "your demon is quite protective..."

"be careful what you try to do with him." donghyuck warned.

"how cute..."

"ilsung?"

"it's okay." the fallen demon answered. "they're with me. we have lots of things to tell each other... and do not harm them. it will be my job."

"okay. call us if anything happens." the other fallen demons said before disappearing.

"now, come with me, the two of you..." ilsung said, looking successfully at jaemin and then donghyuck.

𝙽𝙰

"i don't trust you." donghyuck said, preventing jaemin to drink the glass of water ilsung had offered him.

"i don't trust you either, little demon." ilsung chuckled.

donghyuck placed the glass of water on the table before glaring at the fallen demon in front of him.

jaemin and himself had been invited into his house.

donghyuck was a bit sceptical about this, but he trusted jaemin, and jaemin had told him to follow the fallen.

"so, jaemin..." the demon said, sipping a bit of his brewage. "how have you been?"

"i'n not sure this is what we're here to talk about." donghyuck replied.

"will you SHUT UP!" ilsung screamed. "i'm asking jaemin."

the fallen demon turned towards jaemin, silently asking an answer.

"i've been doing good." he replied through gritted teeth.

"don't lie to me, dear..." the fallen said. "i know how bad you have been doing."

jaemin's jaw tightened.

he couldn't bear sitting in front of this monster.

he couldn't bear sitting in front of his parents' murderer.

he couldn't beat sitting in front of the made that had made him like this.

"why are you asking me, then?"

"i wanted to make sure..." he chuckled.

jaemin took a deep breath, having a quick eye contact with his boyfriend before looking at the fallen demon again.

"so... what did you come here for?" the fallen demon asked.

"to get rid of you." donghyuck replied.

ilsung glared at donghyuck, pulling a knife and threatening donghyuck with it.

"jaemin. what did you come here for?"

"as donghyuck said..." the boy said very calmly.

"you seem to be very attached to your demon." ilsung noted.

"isn't everybody?"

"no." ilsung replied. "you see, my human hated me."

"not so surprising." donghyuck muttered under his breath.

"that's when i started hating humans."

"what does that have to do with me and my family?" jaemin asked, wanting to understand why it happened.

"i wanted to have someone like your mother as a human." he said. "she was perfect. beautiful, kind, funny and lovable. too lovable actually, because i fell for her knowing that she would never be able to see me... i committed my first demon crime to become a fallen. this was the only way for her to see me. and when i finally met her, she rejected me."

jaemin looked at ilsung's eyes darkening at the mention of this past event.

so, he is heartbroken.

that's what made him like that...

"she had fallen in love with your father. and she didn't want of me in her life." ilsung spat. "i waited twenty long years to take m revenge. i wanted to hit when she would have completely forgotten me, in order to mark her. i killed them on the 20th anniversary of her rejection. and you happened to be there. the fruit of their union. a union i hated..." ilsung continued, glaring at jaemin. "i wanted to kill you so bad, but that would have been to easy... i wanted you to suffer like i did before having the right to die."

jaemin's brows furrowed as his fists clenched.

he wanted to punch this man.

he wanted to get rid of him.

he wanted to kill him...

"you're a psychopath." jaemin said, looking at ilsung dead in the eye.

"and you're only good to be dead, jaemin. you know what that means?" he asked with a smirk. "these will be your last breaths..."
