Revenge Isn’t Sweet

Hyunjin’s phone rings for what seems like the millionth time. He huffs as he pulls it out of his pocket, not even seeing who’s calling this time before he throws it, the phone abruptly going silent as it hits the hard concrete. The impact itself was enough to break his phone, but Hyunjin made sure to step on it as he walked, it making a firm cracking sound under his shoe.

His father was right, the people here on Earth don’t like him. He shouldn’t have been so naive. If they’re going to hate him regardless, might as well give them a reason to, right?

Hyunjin knew exactly where he was going. It’d been hard to track down those hunters that had captured and tortured him before, but he finally found them. He was going to make them pay for what they did to him, simple as that.

Hui had gotten all of the other boys to help him look for Hyunjin, each one of them checking a different area, looking for any sign that Hyunjin may have been there. They’d been looking for hours with no luck.

It was getting late. Hui sent a text, letting the others know that they could go home and that they could look again tomorrow. Hui didn’t go back home though, he wanted to look for a little while longer.

A few hours had passed and still no sign of Hyunjin. Hui sighed, wishing he hadn’t decided to hurt his friend that day. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t need to be worrying if he was okay or not.

Hui walked until he finally saw someone a little further up the sidewalk. They were walking away from Hui, so he wasn’t able to see their face, but he was almost certain it was Hyunjin.

Hui walked faster, soon catching up to the person, “Hyunjin?” He asks and they stop, turning to look at him. “Hui?” Hyunjin asked in a small voice, “What are you doing here?” “I could ask you the same thing,” Hui replies and Hyunjin sighs softly.

“I-I was going to kill them, Hui…” Hyunjin’s voice was barely above a whisper and Hui furrowed his brows in confusion, “Kill them? Kill who?” “Those hunters…The ones that took me…A-And I broke my phone too…” The demon says quietly, pulling his broken phone out of his pocket, showing it to Hui with a slight sniffle.

“I-I couldn’t think straight, it was like I had tunnel vision… I was just…so upset…” Hyunjin looks up at Hui’s face again before whispering, “I’m gonna end up exactly like him,” A tear slides down Hyunjin’s cheek as he shakes his head, “I-I don’t want to be like him, Hui.”

Unreachable

Hui let out a sigh as he walked past Hyunjin’s bedroom, everything exactly how it was when the demon still lived there. Hyunjin hadn’t bothered to take anything other than his pets, not even his favorite sweater that was laying on the edge of the bed.

Both boys had been going through a hard time lately, but Hui felt that Hyunjin had no reason to be upset, he was the prince of Hell, he had everything he could ever want. Hui also blamed Hyunjin for the things he was going through, Hui wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for Hyunjin, so it had to be partially his fault.

But it wasn’t, and Hui knew that, he just found the closest person and took his problems out on them. Maybe he wanted a fight, but Hyunjin didn’t give him that. Instead, the demon accepted the verbal assault, only nodding softly until Hui finished before softly speaking, “Okay. I’ll go then.”

Those words played over and over in Hui’s mind and he felt terrible, that was one of his best friends and Hui treated him like he was nothing, when Hyunjin only ever gave him the best.

Hui quickly pulls his phone out of his pocket and calls Hyunjin, listening to it ring before it eventually goes to voicemail. He calls a couple more times before giving up with a sigh, instead opting to try to call the other boys to see if maybe they’ve heard from him.

“Hey, have you heard from Hyunjin?” He asks when Hongjoong answers the phone, getting a “No, I haven’t. We don’t really talk to him that much,” in reply. Hui thanks him before ending the call, not giving any explanation.

Hui calls Zico next, asking the same thing. “Why are you asking me? He’s more your friend than he is mine. Why? Is something wrong?” Zico replies, confusion evident in his tone and Hui gives him a quick rundown of what happened, hearing a sigh on the other end, “Hui, you need to stop doing this stuff. I thought you’d been doing better.” “Yeah, me too. We’ll talk later.” Hui says, not letting Zico say anything else before hanging up the phone.

Lastly, Hui calls Felix, the incubus moved in with him and Hyunjin but hasn’t been there for a few days now. Felix picks up and Hui asks if he’s seen or heard from Hyunjin, “Uh, no, actually. Maybe he went to Hell for something? His dad needs him to go there urgently sometimes.” Hui sighs, telling Felix that Hyunjin left after a fight they had and gets a hum in response, “Ah, well, if that’s the case I’m not sure where he’d go. I’ll check in Hell and let you know if I find him, okay?” Hui agrees, Felix ending the call soon after.

The Imperfect Ritual

When Hyunjin says they need to get to Hell, Hui doesn’t say anything, just nodding in reply, trusting the demon’s judgement. Hyunjin takes ahold of Hui’s arm before teleporting the both of them to Hell, Hyunjin basically dragging Hui forward to Satan’s throne, “Father?”

The king looks at the two with a raised eyebrow, "Hyunjin? Who is this?" Hyunjin sighs as he looks over at Hui, who’s eyes were still black, “Remember that human I brought back to life? This is him…” Hyunjin trails off and the king’s confused face turns sour as he quickly puts the pieces together, "You messed up the ritual, didn’t you?"

Hyunjin shakes his head frantically, “No, I don’t think I did, I did everything the book said!” "The timing? Was it exact?" Satan asks as he motions the two to come closer. Hyunjin swallows hard and walks Hui closer to his father, “O-Okay, maybe it wasn’t exact… But it was close!”

The king looks at Hui and lets out a deep sigh, "Well, that close timing caused his soul to mutate. You’ve created a mutated cambion, Hyunjin." Hyunjin looks at his father then at Hui, “I’m sorry,” is all he can say as he faces the floor, fiddling with his fingers.

Hui looks at Hyunjin, who was still staring at the floor before turning back to the king, “A mutated cambion? What the hell is that?” "A cambion is the offspring of a human and a demon. A mutated cambion is still half human and half demon, but something happened to them to cause it, rather than being born that way." The king explains, surprisingly calm, "The demon half can stay dormant for a long time, an entire lifetime even. It usually takes a lot in order for it to…erupt. But I’m assuming that’s exactly what’s happened. I’ll make sure Hyunjin teaches you everything you need to know about being a demon."

Something’s Wrong With Hui

[I would recommend reading this first for some more information on what’s bothering Hui in the first place.]

The situation with Sunwoo had Hui stressed, and the four boys trying to help him was doing the exact opposite. The boys are surrounding him, asking questions, trying to calm him down, Hui couldn’t take it anymore. He stands abruptly from his spot on the couch, almost knocking Hyunjin down in the process, “I’m leaving. You guys are driving me fucking insane.”

Hui starts to make his way to the door of the cabin as Zico speaks, “Wait, where are you going?” Hui sighs and turns to face the four, “I don’t fucking know. Somewhere to clear my head. I’m getting a headache.” Zico tries to protest but Hongjoong cuts him off, “Just be careful, okay? Call us if you need anything.” “Yeah, I will.” Hui says before heading out the door, getting into his car and driving off.

Hui drives for a while, no idea where he’s going, just driving. Eventually, he stumbles upon an old building, parking the car and going inside. It was in surprisingly good condition, although it obviously hadn’t been occupied in years.

He sighs and pulls the pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, taking one out and putting it in his mouth before grabbing his lighter. He lights the cigarette and takes a long drag of it, blowing the smoke out as he shakes his head.

“This always fucking happens. Why does something always have to happen to the people I know? The people I care about?” He takes another puff of the cigarette before yelling out of frustration, “Fuck!”

Right as the word leaves Hui’s mouth, all the windows in the building shatter inwards at him. He squeezes his eyes shut and curls inwards slightly as pieces of glass hit his skin, cutting him in a few places.

When the commotion has settled for a few seconds, Hui opens his eyes, looking around but seeing nothing other than the shattered glass scattered along the floor.

He’s a little freaked out and his first instinct is to call Hyunjin. It doesn’t take Hyunjin long to pick up the phone, but Hui is the first to speak, “H-Hyunjin..?” Hyunjin instantly becomes concerned after hearing Hui’s tone, “What? What’s wrong? Did something happen?” “C-Can you just…come here? Please?” Hui asks as he looks at the glass covered floor, the cigarette in his hand completely forgotten about.

“Yeah, I’m coming now. I’ll be there in a second.” Hyunjin quickly says before hanging up the phone, not giving any of the other three boys an explanation as he teleports away. His figure appears in the building as he walks towards Hui, slowing down when he feels the glass cracking under his shoes.

Hyunjin looks down at the floor then at the walls, framed holes left where the windows had once been. His eyes soon trailing to a visibly shaken up Hui, glass in his hair and on his clothes, along with some fresh cuts on his exposed skin.

“What happened?” Hyunjin asks as he walks closer to Hui, who was still focused on the floor. “I-I don’t know…” Hui stutters as he finally looks up at Hyunjin and Hyunjin has an internal panic when he sees Hui’s eyes, which are completely black.

Old Friends Reunited

Hui was sitting alone outside the cabin, the three other boys inside doing their own things. Hui had been thinking lately. About his death. About how Hyunjin had brought him back. And about how almost no one he used to know, knew he was back.

He didn’t care that most of them didn’t know. Actually, if he was being honest he was glad they were out of his life, except for one. Out of his entire friend group, there was only one person he considered a real friend.

Hui stands and walks back into the cabin, seeing Hongjoong on the couch before speaking, “Hey, I’m gonna go out for a bit, okay?” Hongjoong nods in reply, “Alright, if you need anything just call.” “Will do,” Hui says before leaving.

Hui’s back in his old neighborhood, the one he lived in before his death. It doesn’t take him long to find the house he’s looking for. He parks his car and walks up to the door, knocking on it before waiting patiently, it was around noon and he honestly wasn’t expecting an answer.

The door opens, the man inside letting out a groggy, “Hello?” But once he sees Hui all signs of tiredness is gone in an instant, “Holy fuck… Hui?” Hui smiles softly and nods, “In the flesh. Hey Zico.”

“I know you aren’t a hugger but I don’t fucking care,” Zico says as he grabs Hui and pulls him into a hug, “Where the fuck were you?” Hui hugs him back and chuckles, “I already know you’re not going to believe me,” he takes a deep breath, “but I died.”

Zico pulls away from the hug and gives Hui a confused look, “You what?” His confusion changes to unamusement, “You’re lying.” Hui shakes his head, “No, I’m serious, I actually died. A demon brought me back, the prince of Hell actually.” Zico laughs, “Shut the fuck up. What’d you do? Got locked up and don’t wanna admit it?” Hui shakes his head again with a laugh, “I guess you’re just gonna have to meet him.”

Hui grabs his phone out of his pocket and calls Hyunjin, putting him on speaker, “Hey, are you busy right now?” “No, why?” Hui looks over at his friend before speaking again, “Could you teleport to me real quick?” “Uhh, sure..?” Hyunjin says, clearly confused before hanging up the phone. Hyunjin appears a few seconds later, walking up next to Hui. Zico looks at the demon in disbelief before back at Hui, “No fucking way…”

A Good Night Gone Bad

It had been a while since the boys stayed in and spent some time with each other, so they decided tonight was as good a night as ever. Their plan was to have a movie night, but little did they know things weren’t going to pan out as expected.

It was about a quarter after 9pm and the boys were in the middle of a random movie they had found. Hui turns to Hyunjin before speaking, “I’m gonna grab a drink. You want anything?” Hyunjin shakes his head, “I’m good right now but thanks.” Hui nods as he stands, Hyunjin speaking up again, “Do you want me to pause the movie?” “No, I won’t be long,” Hui says as he makes his way to the kitchen.

Hyunjin continues to watch the movie when he hears some noise from outside the window. He looks in the direction but doesn’t get up, brushing it off, assuming it’s just an animal. They live near a forest after all, it’s not uncommon for animals to come wandering over.

Hui was in the kitchen, rummaging around in the fridge as he looked for something to drink, too busy to notice the back door opening and too busy to be able to prepare for what was going to happen next. Hui was quickly grabbed from behind and put into a chokehold, he fought against the person holding him but he wasn’t able to break free from their grasp, soon passing out from the lack of oxygen.

The attacker sets Hui on the floor, accidentally dropping him and causing there to be a loud "thump" noise. This catches Hyunjin’s attention as he pauses the movie, looking towards the kitchen, “You okay in there? What was that noise?” After a few seconds without a response, Hyunjin decides to get up and check on him.

Hyunjin walks into the kitchen and sees Hui on the floor but is stabbed in the side before he can react. He immediately starts to feel dizzy and light headed, quickly realizing that whatever he’d been stabbed with was covered in poison. His vision goes blurry as he feels his body becoming heavier, soon falling onto the floor. "Get the rope," was the last thing he heard before everything went black.

Hyunjin was already gone by the time Hui finally came to, groaning as he sits up before noticing the still open fridge and some small pools of blood on the floor leading out the open back door, “Shit…”

Look who I dragged out of Hell~ Literally.
