Kpop Demon Hunter x Chef! Reader
Part seven << Part eight << Next
Not a soundâŚor a wordâŚ
For at least two minutes (short in time, but long in the moment), no one spoke.
Then Jinu chuckled loudly and nervously, âThatâs ridiculousââ
âHow meanââ Romance grinned anxiously, his lips stretched wide.
âThen they had the nerve to call you monsters, just because youâre demons.â (Y/n) turned her face so it was still tucked against Romance, but not so her face was buried, âI just needed to get away from that.â (Y/n)âs eyes closed peacefully.
The boys would have been horrified if they werenât so confused. Baby didnât know if he should attack or cryâand he hates crying. Mystery was silent, as usual, but his mouth opened and closed like he wanted to say something. Romance had her in his arms, he could kill her nowâŚbut he couldnât find the will to move. Abby could have done it, being the strongest, but any touch he had on the girl was too gentle. JinuâŚpoor JinuâŚbeing told for 400 years that everyone, Hunters and Humans, would fear him, try to kill him, would never understand himâit was difficult, but this girl defied everything Jinu was told. She didnât hate him or try to kill himâŚbut did she actually understand?
âYou umâŚyou know that weâreâŚâ Jinu stuttered.
âDemons?â (Y/n) peaked an eye open, the other still covered by Romanceâs shirt.
The boys nodded slowly, as if afraid theyâd scare her off.
âWell, yeah. Iâm not an idiot.â (Y/n) giggled.
âAnd-and youâre not scared?â Abby asked.
âShould I be?â (Y/n) joked.
(Y/n) giggled, âYou havenât tried to hurt me. Or take a soul, I would know if you did. Youâve only ever been kind to me. I probably should be scared, but for some reason I know you wonât hurt me.â (Y/n) yawned and tucked her face back into Romanceâs chest.
Romance, without a word, picks (Y/n) up and takes her to a bedroom.
âI donât have any clothesâŚâ (Y/n) whined tiredly.
Romance set her on a large bed with dark pink sheets. The pillowcases were satin and cool to the touch. Romance opened the drawers to the dresser that was facing the bed and pulled out a shirt, boxers, and a pair of shorts.
âGet some sleep. Weâll see you in the morning, okay?â Romance opened the door.
âAre you guys mad?â (Y/n)âs voice was weak, tired.
Romance glanced back at the girl, âWhy would we be mad?â He asked.
âBecause Iâm not scared of you?â (Y/n) squeaked when Romance was suddenly in front of her. His hands gripped her thighs and his finger barely slipped under her dress.
âOh, cupcakeâŚweâre not madâŚnot in the slightest,â Romance felt the fabric of (Y/n)âs dress with his fingers, âwhat weâre feeling is something very differentâŚâ Romance breathed gently and lowered his head to the girlâs thigh. He placed feather-like kisses where the dress rode up, smirking when he saw (Y/n)âs thighs clench. Romance smoothed down (Y/n)âs dress and stood up.
(Y/n) watched as Romance stood to full height and smirked down at her. He placed a hand on her cheek and gently kissed her forehead before walking to the door again. âGet some sleep, honey. Weâll see you in the morning,â he shut the door behind him.
When Romance walked back into the living room, the boys were talking quietly.
âIt would be easyâŚâ
âI donât really want to kill herâŚâ Baby said bluntly.
The boys silently agreed.
âDo we have to kill her?â Abby asked. The boys all turned to Jinu.
âIââ Before he could finish, all five boys hear a harsh voices filling their heads. They watched their patterns light up and each others eyes flash gold, and thenâŚthey were gone.
The boys collapsed before Gwi-Ma. An adoring audience of demons were cheering below. Blue streaks lit up the sky, but only one came down, flying into Gwi-Maâs flame.
âMy little soda popâŚitâs catchyâŚâ Gwi-Ma chuckled, âSurprisingly your plan is working.â
The Saja Boys reverted to their demon form in a puff of smoke and they turned to Gwi-Ma.
âThat soul was just a taste, so let us get back to work, and youâll be feasting in no time.â Jinu smirked.
âThere is a Hunter that bears my mark, but I have no control over her,â Gwi-Ma said.
âThatâs good. That means she has shame. Weâll find it and use it to destroy the Hunters for good.â Jinu didnât like the way the words felt on his lips.
âAnd your,â Gwi-Ma chuckled, âlittle chefâŚâ
The boys anxiously waited to hear what Gwi-Ma had to say.
The boys blinked in surprise.
âCome again?â Jinu asked.
âSheâs specialâŚkeep her from the Hunters and I will tell my army to leave her be.â Gwi-Ma said suspiciously.
The boys were teleported back to their penthouse, still in their demon form.
Gwi-Ma glowed brightly at his army of demons. âThis chef is mine. Do you understand? Her soul belongs to me. If any one of you decides to make her a targetâŚYou. Will. Feel. PAIN!!â His fire, small but bright, flew upwards, feeding off of his angerâŚ
And a little bit of fearâŚ
âSheâs okay?â Abby asked Jinu.
âIâŚI think soâŚâ Jinu stuttered.
âI donât know and I donât have to know,â Jinu said defiantly. He shook out his body, ready to transform back into his disguise.
âWait! I have an ideaâŚâ Abby smirked.
When (Y/n) got up early the next morning, she was pleasantly surprised to find herself in a new room. She quickly remembered the events from the night before and looked down at what she was wearing. Neglecting the small shorts that Romance set out for her, (Y/n) was in a comfortable pair of boxers and a silk pajama shirt decorated with sakura blossoms. The shorts on the end of the bed looked to be the matching pair, so she slipped those on before leaving the room.
No one was awake yet, judging by the still dark living room. It was around five (5) in the morning so it made sense the boys wouldnât be awake. Deciding to thank the boys (and complete her job a little earlier than usual) (Y/n) decided to make the boys a big breakfast.
Deciding to make an American style breakfast with her current ingredients. Americans had a plethora of breakfast items, so coming to a decision was a little difficult, but in the end, (Y/n) decided on breakfast potatoes (or hash-browns), eggs, toast, spam, and pancakes. While she prepared the hash-browns (first since they took the longest to prepare), Abby stepped out of his bedroom.
Abby was still in his demon form, light purple skin with dark purple patterns. He wore sweatpants that hung low on his lips and no shirt. âMorning,â he yawned, scratching his chest with long, sharp, black nails.
âMorning!â (Y/n) chirped. Still grating the potatoes, she didnât turn to face him.
Abby blinked in shock, then quickly continued his plan and walked to the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around (Y/n) from behind, âWhatcha making?â He buried his face in her neck.
âHash-browns.â (Y/n) patted Abbyâs head with her clean hand, then set it back on the grater to hold it still.
Abby watched her grate the potatoes for a little bit, nails grazing the skin just below her shorts until Romance came into the room. He was also in his demon form.
âGood morning, biscuit,â Romance said, not glancing up from his book. He walked to (Y/n) and kissed the top of her head then strolled to the living room. He wore a matching purple silk pajama set and pink slippers.
âGood morning!â (Y/n) tapped the grater and moved the pile of hash-browns to the side.
âNo kiss for me, Myeong?â Abby stood to follow Romance.
âWatch it, Chul, Iâll do it,â Romance smirked at Abby.
âAre those your real names?â (Y/n) asked, grating the next potato.
âMhm. Kwang is Mystery, Min is Baby, Jinu isâwell, Jinu, Abby is of course Chul, and Iâm Myeong,â Romance, Myeong, introduced.
âI like that, they all fit you really well,â (Y/n) complimented.
Myeong blushed and said nothing. He and Abby sat together on the couch with Myeong reading and Abby scrolling on his phone.
Baby, or Min, is next, also scrolling on his phone and in his demon form, âMorning,â he mumbled. Min wore a long blue hoodie and shorts underneath that barely poked out of the bottom. He came up behind (Y/n), looked down at her shorts, and playfully tugged on the elastic band, âI like theseâŚâ his sharp nails grazed her back.
âThanks,â (Y/n) giggled.
âThank you,â Myeong smiled at Min over the top of the couch.
Min rolled his eyes but joined Myeong and Chul on the couch. Occasionally Chul showed Min a video on his phone, but Min had no reaction.
Kwang (Mystery) came silently into the room in his demon form next. He was dressed in a loose purple t-shirt and long dark pink shorts. Kwangâs socks were decorated as foxes with the ears poking out of the top. He held (Y/n) from behind wordlessly and watched her put the grated potatoes in a bowl of ice water. As she moved around the kitchen to grab paper towels, Kwang shuffled behind her, his long steps matching her shorter ones to move with her. Drying off the potatoes, (Y/n) got a baking pan and parchment paper to line the pan. Kwang watched hypnotized by the way she drizzled oil on the pan and put the dries potatoes on the pan. She seasoned the potatoes and drizzled more oil on top. After she put the potatoes in the oven, she moved to the fridge, causing Kwang to growl.
(Y/n) chuckled and shook her head, âYouâre more than welcome to stand behind me to watch?â (Y/n) suggested.
Kwang huffed, but walked around the island to watch (Y/n) move around the kitchen. He watched her prepare the pancake batter and set that aside to flip the potatoes. When she began cooking the pancakes Jinu came out of his room in his demon form, yawning. He wore a black tank top and purple sweatpants with pink socks barely seen underneath from how the sweatpants dragged on the floor. Jinu leaned against the wall in the doorway leading to the living room, watching (Y/n) cook.
Something about the way she was dressed in clothes that werenât hers, fluttering around an unfamiliar kitchen like sheâs lives there all her life, gave Jinu a hopeful feelingâa domestic feeling. When he was human, Jinu never had a wife. On a few drunk nights he found himself in the company of other women, but they never stuck around, Jinu felt better that way; no one to live with his pain besides him. No one deserved to be stuck with him. As far as he knew the rest of the boys felt similarly. Their past, their pain, was too much for anyone else to handle.
âYou just gonna stare or are you gonna come and eat?â (Y/n) asked, not looking at Jinu. She had finished cooking the eggs and spam as well as setting the plates and silverware at the island.
When the boys cautiously approached the island, (Y/n) set the plates of food on the table. Eggs, spam, pancakes, hash-browns, and toast sat on plates ready to be grabbedâŚbut no one moved. They watched (Y/n) place the dirty dishes in the sink, wipe the counters, clean the stove, turn off the oven, grab her own food, start eatingâ
âWhat?â (Y/n) asked, finally looking at the skeptical demons in front of her.
âNotice something different?â Myeong asked, gesturing to the boys next to him.
(Y/n) blinked, ââŚno?â
âWeâre in our full demon formâdid you actually not notice?â Jinu waved his hands wildly.
âYou guys always look like this to me.â (Y/n) shrugged to the boysâ amazement.
âYouâve always been able to see our patterns?â Min asked.
âYeah, Iâve only ever been able to see a demonâs form after they revealed themselvesâŚdo you guys not have patterns to other people?â (Y/n) asked.
âHow long have you known?â The boys asked loudly.
âUhâŚâ (Y/n) thought for a moment, âwhenever I went to the store for hot sauce and I met Min.â (Y/n) remembered.
âYou knew about us for that long?!â Min asked quietly.
(Y/n) laughs âYes! Why are you all so surprised?â
âBecause demons have a history of hurting people and stealing soulsââ Chul started.
âAnd youâre literally friends with hunters.â Min rolled his eyes.
âThat doesnât mean I want to kill demons. Unless they attack me, I just leave them alone,â (Y/n) takes a bite of her food, âitâs not your guysâ fault Gwi-Ma has you doing his bidding.â
âYouâre not gonna try to stop usâŚfrom helping Gwi-Ma?â Kwang asks.
âI mean, I wonât try directly. Anything I do is probably going to get reversed with lies or misinformation. So, Iâll just do my part.â (Y/n) shrugged a shoulder.
âWhat part is that?â Myeong asked, finally sitting down at his stool.
âTo feed you,â (Y/n) pushed the plates of food towards the boys, âand make sure youâre healthy. Good food heals the soul so they say,â (Y/n) smiles, blinding the boys for a moment.
âThatâs it. You just want to cook for us? No hidden weapons around so you can attack us?â Chul asks, still standing on alert.
(Y/n) pulls out her Damascus knife and set it on the table, âThere. That was the only hidden weapon. But youâre welcome to look.â (Y/n) took a bite of her pancake and was entertained when Chul and Kwang began searching the kitchen. Jinu watched as his friends continued to search but neglected to find anything, and he was amazed (but silent) when he saw the patterns that scarred Chulâs back begin to fade.
âMan, youâre either really dumb or really naive.â Chul chuckled and sat down at the island next to Min only to receive a slap on the head by said demon.
âNo weapons?â Jinu asked.
Kwang shook his head and sat on the end of the island.
âIf Iâm going to work for you, Iâm gonna need a little bit more trust that I wonât kill you. I just want to help.â (Y/n) finished eating, placed her silverware and plate in the sink, and then stood back in her spot across from the boys.
The boys look at each other sheepishly. Of course they were untrusting, first she was the hunters friend, then she was something special to Gwi-Ma, how were they supposed to trust her?
âSoâŚare you gonna eat or is your food gonna get cold?â (Y/n) asked sarcastically.
Thatâs howâŚall she ever wanted to do was help. She was hired to help. All the boys did was try to use her and all sheâs ever done was cook. They saw her take down a demon without a spiritual weapon, she could have killed them before, but she didnât. She didnât even try. She didnât poison them, she didnât have an ulterior motive, she got into a fight with her friends because they wanted to kill themâthe demons!
The boys quickly eat, their patterns all getting a little bit lighter every time they swallowed. When they finished inhaling their food, they all felt more full in the stomach and in the heart.
âWhatâs the plan for today?â (Y/n) asked, reaching for the boysâ plates.
âWe have a couple of award ceremonies coming up so weâre taking a break today then doing some social media stuff tomorrow.â Min grabbed his own plate and silverware then walked them to the sink. The rest of the boys followed.
âSo youâll be home all day?â (Y/n) had a slow grin stretching across her lips.
âWhy? You wanna hang out with us?â Chul flirted, grabbing (Y/n)âs waist to pull her close.
âWhat do you guys usually do on your day off? Maybe I could join you?â (Y/n) looked up at Chul.
Chul quickly separated from (Y/n), his face red from the way she was staring up at him.
âI like to catch up on my novels,â Myeong held up his bookmarked novel and waved it slightly.
âI play instrumentsâŚ?â Jinu hadnât really developed another hobby since he was trapped in the demon world.
âI just scroll on my phone,â Min went back to said activity.
Kwang shrugged and went back to hugging (Y/n) from behind, finding solace in the heat from her back.
âI work out in the living room,â Chul said once his face went back to its normal purple tone.
âDo you guys like movies?â (Y/n) asked.
âHonestly, Iâve never seen one,â Jinu realized.
âUh, same,â Chul agreed.
âI remember one⌠a black and white film I thinkâŚâ Myeong tried to remember the name.
Kwang grunted from (Y/n)âs neck.
âOnly a few. Back when I was human they were all love and war movies,â Min grunted.
âWe could watch some while Chul works out in the living room?â (Y/n) suggested, âI have to get my laptop thoughâŚand some clothesâŚâ (Y/n)âs voice died down the more she realized what she needed to grab.
âWhy do you need your laptop?â Myeong asked.
âSo we can watch movies. I donât see a T.V. soââ
âWe have a tv.â Jinu furrowed his eyebrows, confused. He walked around the couch and opened a drawer on the coffee table. He pulled out a small black remote and pressed the power button. Slowly a large T.V. came out of the top of the fireplace. âAnd you can borrow some of our clothes if you wantâŚâ he added quietly.
âWell, thatâs fucking cool.â (Y/n) cussed.
The boys look at her surprised.
âWhat streaming services do you have?â (Y/n) asked.
âStreamingâŚ?â Jinu looked even more confused.
âAll of them,â Min answered.
âPerfect.â (Y/n) took the remote. âI have the perfect movieâŚâ
A/N: Does anyone know what it might be??? I want there to be some domestic chapters coming up so just get ready for some fluff chapters!
