╰┈➤ AN: I'm so sorry this blog has been dead. I got busy with work for weeks straight, helping with wedding planning for my cousin that happens soon on the 17th. And dealing with gnats that just never seem to go away and follow me everywhere I go. So IU hope this will do great and everyone can enjoy it! I made a page for Sylus that's sadly empty, but hopefully I'll post there soon.
Finally being able to move into your own place felt unreal. A blank place with nothing, bare walls, empty floors and rooms, nothing in the kitchen. Sitting here and just walking around the place, slowly planning out each new room felt unreal. Finally after saving for years. It was time to start making this house feel more like a home and a safe retreat from the stresses of work and outside things. One room at a time, with some help from their chosen friends. Some of them helped moving things in with some furniture none of their friends use anymore. A couch that looked fresh, was barely used. A small kitchen table with two chairs and a soft cloth. Some pots and pans, lids, utensils with an organize. Some hangers for clothes in the large closet and some organizers for the bathroom.
This was slowly going to become a home, maybe with some help. But they were determined to make it a home. Looking around the house, first it was the paint. Needing to paint the walls some soft or bold colors to match the choices.
"Maybe when we both get paid we can go out and get some new paint for a room, which would you like to start at first?"
A friend ask, helping organize the living room so it felt spacious, more welcoming when coming home from work. Sitting on the couch while dinner cooked, watching TV before heading to bed and starting over the next day. Looking around the space, it was full of ideas and but that would need to be discussed later through the day.
"You got a Pineterst board for the kitchen? Since that'll be the most highest one?"
"Oh you should know I have something for that. You sure you want to work on that just now? You just started this job and still plan to save the most. The kitchen would need a lot of work deepening on how you plan on designing it."
"I can figure it out. I just know you have more of my taste since I don't look on there much since work has me working on projects too much. So Getting the kitchen done means i can worry about cooking things and worry about the bathrooms next. One we do that we can worry about the bedrooms, maybe turning some into an office so I can accept working from home instead of leaving and getting more positions that way. And then I can work on the living room, then we can call the boys fro the backyard."
"You have this already planned out from day one?"
"Yes, I just need help making sure everything is done and then I'll have a housewarming party, I promise."
The two laughed softly, getting everything done and now the home was ready. Slightly, getting things done was the hard part, but now it was time for some shopping. Looking at some places alone just to get some small things. Walking around the small shops after driving the 45 minutes from the house to the shopping center. Places having some things outside showing little things to lure you outside. But some weren't that appealing, yet there was still something here. it felt like a string pulling her along and she just wanted to see what she could do.
There was this one shop, with some little small things it was for those small stuffed animals that looked adorable and made you want to buy all of them despite knowing your paycheck hated it. Yet there was something about it, something about just walking around and finding new friends for them. So Y/N walked indie this time, wanting to see what she could find for a room, or just something to make the place feel just a little more cute when walking inside from work.
Walking inside it was like a girl's dream of small little animals, sometimes knowing you could get all of them or even more then one. Some being paired together, some being alone yet all had those small smiles and eyes that felt like they were staring at you from every angle yet made it feel like there was nothing more someone could do about it. After all what could small, cute little stuffed animals could do? Drive someone insane yet looked so cute with nothing attached to them?
The hard part of this trip, having to pick some and hope for the best. Looking at some of the smaller ones, maybe they can all rest on the couch like their own little spot to rest. Being there just for now to cuddle since there was bed for Y/N just yet. walking around slowly, scanning the prices for duo animals, yet also wanting to see what they looked like. And soon there was this small duo, a little doberman ana bear. Holding their little paws together looking up and smiling like kids in a candy store. Dressed up in little scouting outfits and the ears being floppy. A Bracelet on their holding hands matching with a Y and J. They were priced for $12.99 as a pair. It almost felt impossible to just say no and leave them alone. there was something pulling Y/N to get them. Despite the other options around with he same happy faces. These two just felt better.
And just like that,the two were picked up with Y/N walking to the counter, smiling at them while the cashier gave her the sane smile she gave to everyone else.
"Hi is this everything you want for today? They come as a pair."
"Yes they are, I see the Y and J on them, what are their names?"
"The Doberman is Yeosang, the Bear is Jongho. I love the pair idea, they look so cute together!"
Yeosang and Jongho, manes opening someones eye while Y/N paid with a smile. They got their own little key chains to swing around with Y/N who kept walking around, looking for some other things knowing their bank was screaming at them to finally stop for now. But there needed to be something else inside of the house to make feel more like a home, even if it was small for now and things still needed to be pulled together before getting there, some blankets and pillows for the couch they would be sleeping on until they could get a bed, some coaster for the small coffee table they got. A friend was bring their old TV stand for the living room TV and the last one was helping setting up the WiFi so they wouldn't be having the worst headache before more of it was yet to come.
Getting home and seeing everything almost ready, The fridge was still slowly being stocked up by Ga-Rim, he was helping make sue there was at least something other then instant noodles to eat and there were options to cook even after a long day at the office and something to make before heading over and being to sit in peace and eat that way.
"Hey Y/N, WiFi and TV are set up, I'm just making sure you have something other then instant noodles to eat everyday after work. you're not starting on that diet again just because it's cheap when you have a grueling Job."
"Yeah I know, you made me lunch and dinner everyday even if i said I had ramen to eat and would stop by just to make sure I had something. or text the others to make sure I ate something. We don't need to go through all of that again."
"I'll be holding you to that, what did you get form the little shopping corner? I see pillows and blankets."
"Yeah, but I also got these cute pair stuffed animals. I like them for the couch so I don't feel lonely and no, no one is staying over till everything is done and I'm standing on that. Got it?"
"Yeah Yeah, we know and We'll keep it that way. No need to throw pillows at me again. But I'll let you get everything set up, are we still having game night at my house or did we decide last minute to have it somewhere else?"
"You have the good pool for the losers, we're doing it at your place still. Only thing I can bring is myself,"
"Yeah yea, there won't be any drinks so don't worry too much about it. I promise we're all being reasonable tonight."
Playfully rolling her eyes, Y/N walked Ga-Rim outside and closed the door, walking back inside to set up the couch while setting up the TV. it was connected, and now it was time to find some YouTube videos and plan out something to eat before heading out in some hoodies and sweats. Setting The two stuffed animals on the couch, it was time to walk in the kitchen and plan something out. But something about the two of them, the way they stared at the TV knowing they couldn't move their small eyes and use their little hands to move around or get up without much help.
The two stuffed animals watched as plain front doors slowly closed, locking form the outside and waiting till they heard the footsteps echo away and the sound of the car. Waiting for now the perfect time, sitting there on the couch, where two demons. One with a curled tail, the other with one cracking his knuckles. Yeosang slowly stood up, his tail curling around him while his chains slightly clanked against every movement. He looked around the house, seeing eh old bones whole some of the floors creaked. Something needed to be done with those. But it was something else, they needed to plant the seeds.
"Did you feel the mark too Jongho? Did you see it in her eyes?"
Turning around, Yeosang looked at Jongho, seeing him slowly get up and look around. Wearing a long black trench coat as he walked around, making sure his footsteps didn't leave any burn marks. but he did make a step loud enough to make the floors stop creaking. This home was the start of it all, a calling for the others that needed guidance to get closer. Slowly walking up the stairs to look at all the empty bedrooms, seeing the boxes with some plans on the floor, but these would need to all happen every slowly. Making things happen too fast would create too much drama and things would start to fall apart before they could even get the plans from their leader. Knowing he would enjoy most of the teasing just because.
"I did, but we'll need to create the mark soon for the others to follow. Something small but strong enough for them."
Yeosang twirled around, looking at the bare ceilings while walking up the stairs behind Jongho, finding the attic door. Making sure nothing was out of place, they just moved through the floor, looking around and found a spot where no light would show. And it could just be hidden as old marks and in the attic, easy to be written off and leave as is since messing with the attic might make things worse unless it was truly needed. It was perfect either way, too dusted for comfort, the air being covered in dust and who knows what else.
"Jonghoo, do you want to be the one who does the circle?"
Hearing Yeosang giggle slightly, the younger male walked to a corner, holding his hand out as the watched the fiery red flames slowly circle around his hand and out onto the fire. Creating the symbols before slowly fading away into the old wood. Slowly pulling his hand down and standing back up, soon the house felt alive. Like the walls were now breathing with voices that would hear every word and would be able to grant every wish in a slow manner, almost making it seem natural until it was too late. They still needed to walk around the house, planting more of these in certain corners and using more flames to make them nearly invisible. Jongho's flames were strong, making it almost look easy while Yeosang continued to let the smell of fresh flowers fill the house, making them small like the flowers from outside despite the windows being closed and locked.
Making sure the smell would make Y/N relax and slow become sleepy despite just wanting to get off of work and sower, eat before laying down and maybe even planning something. he knew his smell was alluring, and it made him perfect to pair with jongho, hiding the burning smell but also making it bearable enough yo where no one would want to leave the house unless they absolutely had to and couldn't wait to get back home just to feel relaxed once more. It was his own little power,and he loved it.
Soon, this would bring the others, making sure all of them could see where the two were. Getting a feel around while their leader made sure his roots ran deep enough in hell that no one dared tried to challenge him when he looked for a bride to share the throne with, along with his dear friends he held close. Making sure all sins were held through, and those who tried escaping would be placed on a show and he got to enjoy each and every single painful strike. They knew they didn't have much time, so they let the signals do the work. Letting the smell fly around deep into the ground till the fiery flames came into view along with the screams of the dammed all wanting to be free and out of this pit that never seemed to end.
The calming pink and red flames twirled around like dragons dancing as they quickly reached the main room. Lighting up the fire pit with a satisfying burn. Slowly revealing the path of where they were staying, only seeing the man grin on his face as he knew what this meant for the others. The main two made it to their destination, they found who they were looking for and soon it would be time to end out another. Makings sure there was no one to escape before he angels got the signal of that the bride was alive, and needed to be killed by them to yet again make they demons wait for their prey. And sitting there, watching the fire burn so brightly, he could only smirk as he stared and let the light reflect from his eyes. The question was who to send next, they needed to be friendly, make a mark be know but still scare away other demons from trying to get their own claim to create a more damning punishment fro themselves.
"Make sure the envy ring is prepared to handle wooyoung being gone. He'll be sent soon after San, someone needs to be ready for this and make sure things run somewhat smoothly for the other rings. he walked over to the flames and smelled them with smile, the flames smelled safe, the other two were safe. In a home that smelled new, something untouched by both angel and demon, but it held a human touch to it. Something that made the house more alluring for the demons, knowing it was something they could make their own, make their own mark before anything else could happen.
"What would you like for the others to do my lord?"
"Prepare everyone in order, making sure their 2nd in commands are ready to take over. I will be last and make sure that everything is ready with the flame messages that are sent my way. Sending wooyoung and San together would send off the illusion since they feed into each other. We need the distraction before anything else , especially before the angles learn about this."
HE let his coat fly around as he turned around, Walking with a prideful stride as he walked down one of the many hallways to many other rooms.
"And for Yeosang and Jongho?"
"Make sure they'll be able t get food. We don't need them giving off things too early before hand. Use one of they marks closes and find a way to use an eye. Before you can get too close, since I'll need to train someone else while you come with me."
Nodding his head, the demon stood up and made sure to rely the message to the others. Flying around his own pink flames to get there faster and make sure everyone understood the king's words before planning anything else. Since this meant the boys found someone suitable and maybe with the devil's mark they've been searching for years.
Meanwhile, Yeosang and Jongho had to go back to their lifeless forms. Sitting on the couch with some food made at the party and watching something on TV. It was new to them since they weren't used to the TV and the sounds. Watching the scenes play out but also listening to Y/N laugh at some scenes and make some remarks about the show they were watching. but all they could do was sit there and watch, it was hard for Yeosang not to laugh, but his voice would echo around the house and they needed Y/N asleep before they could event think about trying anything in that sort. But they also knew if they rushed into things too soon that would mess up things in hell, and no one wanted to come back to a bigger mess then what they were already dealing with.
So All they could dow as sit there. Being pulled close to Y/N who laid down and allowed the TV top play as background noise. Getting comfortable in the blanket and pillows with them right there in her arms. They got to smell her, the smell was intoxicating. But this also gave them time to get used to it, being able to find the smell even when Y/N left the house and they needed to find her just to watch her and make sure she was safe from harm. So it was all worth it in the end to them. Since it allowed them op carry out their job without worrying about their king's wrath and probably even having to be sent back for a while as punishment.
Yet even when Y/N drifted off to sleep, Yeosang made sure his smell kept Y/n in deep sleep while they watched her sleep. Yeosang sitting on the back of the couch with his legs crossed and jongho standing over the arm rest. making sure she stayed asleep, they were able to memorize every feature and how to tell when she was truly listening to the sounds around her or when she was truly just asleep and they could do tings around the house. For now there wasn't much to do other then make the post outside, keeping it under the angel's radar so they could walk around without having to worry about the house shaking or things getting worse for them. They didn't need that for now.
But it was great enough to see their bride up close, knowing once everything fell into place, there was no escaping their hands at all.
"Y/N how did you find 7 of these? Are you trying to get one more?"
One of her Friends asked while helping setting up the rest of the bed. it was the last thing Y/N decided to work on since she wanted to make sure everything was just as she visioned it. The kitchen was done, the living room done and had way more couches for game nights and such, the guest room and bathrooms were all redone and finished. And now, the bedroom was finished while the little collection of stuffed animals grew. A Black cat and a purple cat holding hands, a golden retriver, and now a pink bunny that seemed protective of them all. Just all being dressed in matching outfits, along with a yellow chicken who always seemed to be hungry and holding something in his hands related to food. There was something missing, one of them was missing like a little leader. But something else was wrong here.
Ever since Y/N got these dolls it felt like someone was always watching her, everything she did felt like there was eyes. Someone watching like a predator watching their prey with eyes so fixed on her that any sudden movement made the house feel small and like someone would peak around the corner at any moment. So she always made excuses to haver friends over because she could just shrug it off, watching the others have fun while her living room was filled with laughter and friends getting along with helping finished the rest of the house. it was now time for just some more decorating, if any but soon Y/N needed to go back outside for something. Also using that as an excuse to get out of the watchful eyes of her new home. And she did it again, saying goodbye to her little army of animals that still sat on the couch like it was their favorite spot.
Closing the door and walking to her car. The dolls once again, turned back into humans. Sitting there, but they were different this time. Yeosang still sat on the back edge of the couch, with jongho close by with his long black coat covering his body. The black cat, now wooyoung, Sat om the left arm while the purple cat San sat om the right side. The Yellow chicken, Mingi, sitting on next to Wooyoung while the golden retriver Yunho sat next to San. And in the middle of them all, the pink Bunny sat Seonghwa, the 2nd of command of the demons who sat there. His hair dangling in front of his eyes while his eyes scanned everything. Slowly standing up and looking at them. Soon it would be time to amp things up, startling the dreams and making her go insane, everything she came home she would see one of them somewhere around the house
"Do you think he'll like her from the first glace? Or will he test her just like the others and break them like dolls again?"
Wooyoung teased with a playful roll of his eyes. Wondering if they really had to break her so early instead of just messing with her dreams. After all she was going to hell one way or another, the demon energy was getting to be too much. And someone might come to try and ruin things before the fun could get started. Seonghwa knew this was coming. But before he could talk, they heard a car that wasn't hers in the driveway. They had to hide in the shadows, leaving their lifeless vessels on the couch still resting against the cushions. Still wearing thee same matching outfits while they all hid in some part of the house, the dark parts were demon marks were faded and invisible to the naked eye. They watched as one of Y/N's friends, slowly walk inside while holding the spare key. He looked more serious, his eyes scanning around the place slowly before laying his eyes on the lifeless animals with their beaming eyes.
He slowly walked inside and closed the door, leaving it unlocked while his slow, heavy steps walked around. Slowly taking off his glasses before letting the blinding white light shine in them. Trying to hide from those would be impossible if he was a high ranking angel watching over Y/N. And by the looks of it he was, Seonghwa knew this was going to happen, and made sure only he was able to be seen. Standing of the ceiling looking down while he made sure the others stayed hidden. He didn't need much help, the house was littered with little items that made it hard for angles to do their job without revealing themselves. but seeing the angel standing there, both of them just staring daggers into each others eyes.
"Surprised to see that you still have your wings, I thought you wore out all the forgiveness your God seemed to give you, bang Chan."
Seonghwa titled his head, suddenly appearing on the ground as he stared at the angle, watching his jaw clench at the sight of this demon in his friends home. Wanting to just fight but he knew that would cause things in the house to be destroyed, and he didn't have much energy to fight a second in command demon in the domain where could just feel the sulfur and burning sensation even when he held the doorknob.
"You already had your bride, Y/N isn't her and all of you need to leave. I know the others are in here. Using those stuffed animals is a dead give away."
He took a step closer, letting his boots echo across the living room, but his threat felt hollow, empty words against someone who could easily throw him out if he wanted to without any sympathy in his eyes. it made Seonghwa smirk while he dusted off his coat with his blood stained glove, turning his attention fully upon Bang Chan with a dangerous look in his eyes, tilting his head slightly and just allowing his long white hair to sway between his eyes.
"You must not remember the last minute rescue mission to save yet another "best friend" of yours. You can't save everyone Christopher. Hell needs a Queen, someone to carry the offspring that give you the purpose you hold so highly. And your dear, beautiful, charming, adorable little friend, is perfect. As Innocent as she looks she holds every Sin that you want to burn out of her, the pride in making her own home, the lust for someone to match her. The envy of all of you who have partners and a life together, the greed for something she doesn't have. The envy for all of you, the wrath she had to go through all of that thinking none of you were fully helping her, and the desperation to have friends who lift her up. She isn't fit to be an angel. And here you are, trying to save someone who can't be saved without changing her completely. And that's against one of the many rules you have to follow."
Each word felt like venom, a knife twisting in his chest while Seonghwa got closer. His smirk showing his fangs, watching the conflict rise on Chan's face knowing this was something he couldn't control, and it was killing him. His best friend, who felt likes a sister to him was marked for this, he had to give her up, watch her fall into the burning pits of hell and knowing he would never see her again. He knew this from the day she was born, but eh was determine to show hat every soul could be saved, even if they were too far gone he could do something.
But this was something he was losing, he was already on thin ice from the last stunt he pulled, trying to save Y./n would either fall into hell and become of the tortured, forget his memories if eh was seen as a valued angel, and if the judgment was truly sever, he would become nothing. His strings of life being pulled apart till there was nothing left in him. seonghwa knew this, he knew there was barely anything Chan could do without losing the very position he holds with such grace that he could muster.
"There's other people who fit those, so why are you so interested in her huh? She can't hurt someone. She cries when she even thinks she offended someone even when she didn't. You think she'll listen to you?"
"You've fallen in love with her, you wouldn't care this much. You've broken the last rule you swore to never break. And you're willing to unravel her to fit your own eyes, your vision, but that means changing her. And you losing yourself and you're hoping you'll come back when you know it will throw you into the fire pits of hell and you won't ever get to touch her again."
Soon, the house started top shake, like it was a creepy giggle. It made seonghwa chuckle, the others started to come out of their hiding spots, smirking some before watching Chan speed walk outside. Getting in the car and speeding off in the opposite direction, they heard the chuckling getting louder. Their leader was coming closer, this meant their leader was coming, they could continue their plan.
"Now, as you were saying, what are we going to do when he comes inside? Do we instantly start? Do we wait a while or are we going to start making her sleepy at random points of day and messing with her as she sleeps?"
"Let's all just sit and wait for the his orders, now shall we?"
"I wonder what outfits he made her get. You know he isn't just going to get the same old scout outfits. Something more elegant or just something fuzzy for him."
Seonghwa rolled his eyes before they sat back where their stuffed animals sat on the couch and the door opened. Holding a smiling tiger while holding some more snacks and stuff for the kitchen while her laptop stayed on the coffee table. it was time to get back into writing more reports and sending them back to the company. Happy to have the flexibility and get reports they needed before main one walked inside. Wearing a simple suit for him besides the scout outfit.
"I like these, their so cute and there's so many. Maybe now it'll feel complete and not like I'm missing something. Maybe I can make another game night and we can play Mario cart again or Jenga, uno is still off the table."
Y/N slowly placed the tiger in the center of the animals, walking to the kitchen with her phone out, already sending out group text and making plans. Maybe things will be fun." yet Despite the fun times Y/n was planning, something made her sleepy. She wasn't sure what but she knew a good nap before game time was the best time. With some drinks and snacks, maybe some movies in case it got too late for anyone to drive back home. After all they always made games go on longer then they needed before trying anything.
"as tired as I am, I need to get this report done since it's due tonight and I rather not get in trouble for missing something."
Sitting down on the couch, turning on the TV to something mildly entertaining, Y/N got to work typing way on her computer. Opening the company website and working on her own projects before the number piled up too far to even get back on time. There was only two, but they were still long and required many things form her before being sent to her boss and making sure client files were still secure or upgraded the way they were requested to be. And sitting here with her computer in her lap and typing away, while her eyes felt heavy at each passing minute, yet she pushed through, made sure everything was done professionally and correctly before sending it. Getting the automated confirm window about each things she turned in and was able to turn off her computer. Looking blankly at the TV and just letting her eyes close, after all most games nights didn't start till around 8 pm when everyone was truly ready to have some fun and play.
"Maybe a quick nap is deserved. After all, i did all of that I can take a nap and be happy with myself."
Something about that line made something shift. One of the stuffies twitched though she couldn't see it with closed eyes. Yet here she laid like nothing was wrong, but she couldn't hear anything. Soon their leader stood there behind her, leaning forward on his arms while she laid there asleep and frozen, not being able to hear a thing happening around her.
"Oh she just reeks of all the sins mixed in one, oh something so beautiful and just look at her. Oh I can't wait to ruin her, I smell that an angel was here? Who wants to tell me about that?'
He turned around and saw the other 7 standing in a line with their hands behind their backs. Wooyoung jumping with his hand raised despite seonghwa going thorough it, he still wanted to tell the encounter, and their leader knew this before he could get anyone else even got to answer the question. With his wide smile and his green tail swaying around.
"Bang Chan came by and seonghwa talked to hiiim. he's ion love with Y/N and tried to use empty threats to get us away!"
He raised his eyebrow in amusement, that angel? With the last strand of forgiveness he has left and the thin ices he's already on? Falling in love with their bride when he knew better to even try and do anything against hem? it would only ruin him more. He can already see the strings he can pull to bring Bang Chan down to hell, making him regret his choices and he would enjoy it. Knowing there would be absolutely worth every second, of every day. But her still wanted to plan something, after all, having her around right now might not be the best fort anyone in this case. Not with all the screams she needs to get used to.
"So he came here trying to chase us away after he ruined the first bride for us? He got too easy and though he could try again. Maybe we can mess with him too, I'm sure he'll enjoy watching her unravel from the loss of sleep and trying to keep up her standards. Knowing nothing can be done about it. Mingi, start with the dreams,I want to see her body reaction to hearing endless screams and feeling hot."
Mingi could only bow and walk over, watching the blue flames surround his fingers as he leaned forward from the couch, letting little blue sparks fall on her head and watch as her face started to twist into fear and confusion. Feeling the heat form fire she couldn't see, but she could hear it, feel it even. Hearing screams and begging to make it stop, the sounds of swords and weapons along with the sound of wicked laughs of those inflicting the pain. They watched as her body started to thrash around, trying to wake up and get away from it. Not being able to scream out for help knowing there was none to come. But there was only quiet voices getting louder over the screams. But before she could even find out what they were, she woke up. All Alone on her couch sweating. This was only the start, of all her dreams and nightmares to come.
Having game night after a good shower was the best move. being able to laugh with everyone while playing Mario kart, nearly losing every time, but coming close from time to time. It was fun just snacking around and eating some food that made everyone full and vanished before anyone could even try to grab any seconds. Sitting there on the couch, everyone holding a stuffie as their little cheerleaders like they were playing dolls. It was amazing and here they were, laying around while Chan stayed awake with Y/N, helping her clean up the dishes despite seeing how sleepy she looks. It looks like something is taking toll on her, and it made him worry because it meant he was running out of time. but Y/N almost never tells anyone what's going on until she fully cracks. And so far her wasn't cracking, not the way she was used to.
"Can't believe you still beat me at Mario Kart, I swear you knew how to item the banana's every time just to watch my reaction."
"What can I say, I like banana splits?"
The two laughed a little, but Chan's eyes were still looking at the dark circle under her eyes. he needed to leave, he had to stay back if he wanted to stay around just a little while longer. But here he stood just worried about her, watching her put things away and turning around slowly just to look at him. Staring at him with a questioning look as he seemed to get lost while messing with the dry towel in his hands.
"Chan, you look like your zoning out just staring at me, what's up?"
"You look like you've been loosing sleep Y/N, do you want to talk to me about it? Get it off your chest? you have bags under your eyes like somethings been bothering you."
he started, watching her give that same soft plastered smile as she always gave him.
"I'm alright, it's just work and deadlines since this is our busy season and it's just nightmares, I'll be alright. You worry about me way too much for a friend man, Didn't you say you like a dude a while ago? what was his name, Felix? how he made you smile all the time and even offered to wait for you at your house just to make sure you actually sleep?"
Chan could feel it, the envy in he voice despite the soft happy look on her face and the caring tone in her voice. Even now, with her own hug to him, knowing that he held her like he wanted to protect her from everything. But he was losing her, he could feel it in the hug. Knowing someone was at his house waiting to make him smile, knowing that despite trying to not show it, it was still there and it felt like everything was going wrong, even when she went out and tried to talk to people. how the conversations always went short and lead to nowhere, making her feel like she was doing something wrong and needed to change, but what's there to change? hardly anything without money she didn't have.
"Yeah but you know me Y/N, you're like a sister to me so of course I'm gonna be worried about you. I can see it all over your face that something's wrong here and that you being alone and not telling someone isn't helping. What am i going to do, judge you for expressing yourself to a trusted friend?"
He tried, dropping the rope and hoping she would take it. Pull herself and see how he was always there, wanting to hold onto her despite knowing it might cause more off balance for the world he was only supposed to watch from a distance. But she only pulled away from it, thinking it was pity from him, she didn't want pity help, not like this and not from him. He was al;ready talking with someone, what if they thought he was just saying them for her own gain? What if he replaced her with him? She needed him to live his own life and leave her alone. Not drag her down her own path she took.
"Text me when you get home Chan, maybe next time Felix can give me some brownies to share. You always talk about them and how they good they are."
Chan truly didn't want to leave, leaving would be like admitting defeat at this point in time and he needed to make sure he could still have Y/N in his grip. But something was pulling him back home, wanting to see if Felix was really there with something sweet for him to eat, who knows maybe they could talk to each other and have a fun conversation before they could talk about everything that's been bothering Y/N. So he gave Y/N one more tight hug, one that held nothing bit warmth and welcoming to her before leaving the house. Closing the door while Y/N rubbed her eyes and walked up the stairs. But something felt off, she was too tired to fully walk up the stairs and go to the bed that was calling her name.
But she made herself go up the stairs and lay in bed, falling under the covers and falling asleep. Despite her already sweating in the cold room, yet the dreams were already starting. The familiar screams and fiery feeling returned, but instead of being scared oft eh screams.Y/N looked down at the grabbing and reaching hands and watched them claw at each other, and hearing the other distant voices in her ear, filling her head with words of praises and and guidance for things, making the begging souls around them beg.
"Now look at you, all of them fear you if they ever define you. Here, people will bend to your will, and if they won't you have the power to make them, and can do whatever you want without having to worry about someone's feelings." Whispering in her ear, the voice rang, it had a chuckle to it like someone telling a secret. Wooyoung enjoying watching Y/n move her hands around and start bigger fires, hearing the screams get louder under the flames. Yet there was a shadow standing in the flames. Watching as someone walk through but their face was hidden. The hand reached out with a luring feeling.
His coat swaying in the wind of the flames, yet despite trying to put them out, he stood there, only the grin on his face showing there with no sight of his eyes. But she could feel the eyes on her, watching her with something of satisfaction mixed with curiosity.
"You're getting used to tormenting souls of the damned in hell, this isn't a dream anymore Y/N, this is hell. Sooner or late you'll be down here doing exactly this, torturing souls of the damned for years while living like a queen. Where demons wished they could have your spot, and they never will."
"Who the hell are you? You've been giving me these weird dreams for a month! What do you want from me?"
Her screams echoed through the flames, yet they were met with someone cackling like a mad man. The flames getting higher while her body remained thrashing around in bed. The home around her shaking almost in the inside, yet stood perfectly still on the outside making sure no one could see or hear the damage going on inside, meaning there was also no way inside, or even leaving.
"Why I'm the Sin of pride of course, some say the devil himself, and I want the bride I was promised since the last one was taken way, disrupting the balance of heaven, the ground, and hell. And sadly, someone had to pay the price, and that someone had to be you, little Y/n, oh so scared and fragile, what ever shall we do about it."
He cackled, seeing the confused yet terrified look written all over her face. He could see it now, the dear slowly turning into something else, power, control, maybe even something else he wasn't sure just yet. But he knew he could do something with it, but for now it was just a matter of breaking their humanity. Making them look past it into something else, taking control over it and make sure people could see it.
It made him smirk at the idea, seeing this terrified yet curious human in front of him.
"Tine for the others to slowly meet their bride to be."
Despite her mind being somewhere else, something was happening to her body, something she couldn't control despite how much she kept reaching and screaming for help. For someone to save her and get her away from this nightmare and make it out a live before something else could happen to her. Yet the house itself was slowly becoming over torn with symbols, whole the others slowly wrapped around her room. Seonghwa sitting at the end of the bed, watching her body trash as her fingertips slowly got covered in a black shadow.
The time passing by so much faster, yet no one wanted to lose any chances, they needed this ritual to be complete and make sure it was done right, and complete. With hongjoong being the first mark, making sure it was sealed properly before Chan could get inside. And boy did he try. Running to the house with his dual swords in hand.
His eyes flowing white and gold whole the world around him just seemed to stop, no one waking up and no one stopping him. Nothing could ever stop the man that was running to protect his friend from the same fate his friend was supposed to have. But what he didn't expect was seeing how badly it was getting, he could see the dark clouds swirling over the house, Y/N was slowly fading away, from everyone's memory's, and he needed to act fast somehow, run faster then he ever could, but there was nothing he could do. Getting to the door, his foot was shot by an arrow, it burned the area close to his foot, making him stop and look up. There on the roof, Yeosang and Wooyoung stood with their arrows pulled back and staring at him . They had to protect the doors, at least the entrance and if they wanted, the others could join but Jongho would stay in the doorway of the master bedroom, while seonghwa kept Y/N's body remained chained and burning. Her body fading and changing despite her pleas to leave.
Yet there was nothing she could do about it, laying there, watching her, Seonghwa made sure everything was going to plan. watching her eyes roll black while slowly pulling the white, pure and human remains of her. This will pull everything out and make sure here's no humanity left inside of here, nothing else and nothing more but demonic chaos, the never ending hunger for torturing souls until it was their time to make either better, or worse choices. But the humanity needed to be taken way before things would get more complicated within hell.
"He's here, and he's trying to fight yeosang and wooyoung with swords against their arrows. Should i go outside and help them?"
"No, Min-gi has been waiting to fight him from day one and now there is no stopping him and you should know that Jong-ho. Now Watch me, I might need help pulling this out, but then again, captain loves messing with new souls coming to hell."
Watching Seonghwa pull out the large white cloud, while Chan was fighting more demons more then he could manage. Fighting three of them helping giving an advantage at a distance and Min-gi moving around him, leaving black clouds of mist and watching Chan struggle, they had one upper hand he was slowly realizing and that everything else was pointless to fight. he had a demon mark somewhere on his body and it was draining his angelic energy to fight off the 8 demons he had fought off countless times. Trying to look at them, but yet there was almost nothing he could do. Suddenly his hands burned and he was down on his knees, making sure he was on his knees with his hands behind his back with nothing to free himself from. Now how was he supposed to fight, even with the ropes behind his back, he could feel the burning on his back, right on the middle of his back so he could never see it until this moment, meaning he could never get back into heaven.
There was only one person who could even see his back and feeling everything, the hopelessness that he was losing everything and this was now the consequences of his actions, and seeing the demons just smirk while they continued to embarrass him until everyone heard it. The loud, ear piercing sound of his best friends echoing screams that slowly changed into demonic screams that slowly changed before the house started to shake. It was done, there was now nothing else that anyone could do to save her. Everything was done, and there was no humanity left inside of Y/n to save her from her friend, and soon he would be in the same spot.
Soon looking down, the house floors started to open and showed different section hell, some where going into the palace and others were going to the torture chambers, only one got the torture chamber and the others were able to go home. And now here he was, laying there on the ground with ripped shorts and no shirt to hide his wings, that would slowly get plucked and mocked in front of him knowing there was nothing he could do about it. meanwhile with y/n she as just laying on the marble floor, being surrounded by the demons who were all excited to see their wife and couldn't wait to slowly mess with her mind, knowing it would all taker time before anything else could happen. And yet when Y/N slowly sat up, al they could see besides the red glowing eyes that were slowly turning back to normal.

╰┈➤ Summary: Ice skating is a form of art. A story being told without words, but music, movements and outfits. There are two known skaters for being so different, yet so alike in their aspects. The Ice Prince with the Prince of Darkness. Having to tell a tale of closeness, longing, yet distance that seemed so far apart but so close. How are they going to make this work without clashing like swords?
╰┈➤ Parings: Ice Skater! Wooyoung x Ice Skater! Male Reader
AN: This is a secret Santa fic and I'm honestly quiet proud of how it all turned out! I tried to keep the word count a fair point but I think I got carried away too far and I'm sorry about that but I hope everyone enjoys the fic!. I mean it went way over what I had planned to write but this is a gift exchange for @daemour I hope you like it I really did way too much!
There has always been something about ice skating that feels like art in its own way. The way the blades glide across the ice, leaving lines from the skates, the performer telling a story through a practice routine they worked for weeks one and wanting to make it perfect for those to see with their entire body. Their hand movements, their clothing, their movements. And staying there with judges watching their every move and judging them for the end of the match. Yet doing this can also lead to some fights outside of the ring, some grudges against each other despite not knowing much about each other. There was a pair who always seemed to hate each other, looking at each other with hatred with their eyes and sometimes their movements. They would never speak about it in person. They know better and don't want to risk their hard work on it.
Wooyoung, They called him the ice prince because of how cold and perceive wit his movements, and almost all outfits he wears white with some light blues on the sleeves, close to his neck, his ankles and some random parts on his chest. Almost always showing it off no the ice, his dark brown eyes cutting through everyone yet can soften enough to make someone feel sad ad almost nearly cry at the sight. He used his entire body and facial expressions to tell the story. And yet somehow, in someway there was always someone who managed to keep up with him. It stuck something in him and he didn't know how to react to it, to this day he still doesn't know what he has to figure it out.
Y/N was new, yet fast in learning new technique, making something of themselves while showing off their own style. A black suit to help make any other colors o stand out. Coming up with quick costume changes and tossing them to the side for their coach to catch they can still tell a story and make sure finish on point. Doing so always felt like a statement and here they were, something new this season was coming up and it honestly felt like someone wanted to see drama and see who would actually last before quitting, waiting till next season to start something and make sure to never join that section again.
"What do you mean a duo contest? I mean I get those, but my partner is THE ice prince himself?"
Looking at their coach, walking to the ring with their bag in hand, looking at their coach like they just grew a second head. the ice prince himself hated working in duo's because no one could ever keep up with him, always making sure something was tight and neatly done, making sure no one could point out anything wrong. The two of them always clashed, white ad black go together sure, but tight and neat, Y/N did so with a glide, a flow that never seemed to end until the dramatic fall for the ending. How were they going to work together and compromise with each other? trying to think on it, knowing it would only make sure they were annoyed with each other and ready to throw someone. Maybe even quit at the last minute and get terminated.
"Both me and his coach think it'll be a good ice breaker between the two of you. Giving the two of you an outside view. Though we will be there since of two might nearly kill each other."
"And I shouldn't walk away from this because?"
"It'll go on both your records. That's why we have to both be there and watch, making sure you two get through the entire 2 hours to practice and get things right."
Knowing that this could leave a mark on their record, they had to get through this and actually meant it. Trying to get out of this would just man and leave more rooms for error and harder to for themselves in making a name known for themselves,not in the way they wanted to. ut they had to push through it one way or another. With their head held high, and not low. Letting out a long, and loud huff y/n walked inside the ring, checking at the resist and walking into the locker room slowly while their coach went out into the stands and sat there. it was time to get dressed in their black pain practice outfit with their skates in hand. His skates in hands while walking to the stands, looking at the ring.
There in the middle, the ice prince himself in his practice outfit just skating, Nothing in mind just skating like there was nothing else bothering him. His face set in stone with nothing behind his eyes until he heard another pair clap. It made him stop, his long hair touching his shoulders as he slowly turned around and saw Y/N standing in the bench area, getting their matching black skates on, yet looking up watching. Skating as male duo was something rare, yet it was clear the two of them had no other choice unless they wanted damage reputations already. No one knew who the other skaters were unless they were paired together, keeps drama from happening that way and safer just in case jealousy started and made the matches more risky. Not something anyone needs when they need to focus on other things really.
For a moment, neither of them spoke across the ice, Wooyoung stood there in the center with his arms crossed, waiting for Y/N to join him in the ice so they can get a feel for each other. While their coaches gave each other worried, yet knowing looks. Throwing two lions in a cage, both too wild yet needed to be tamed together or everything was going to end poorly for them and it was not getting better anytime soon. So without delaying it any further, Y/N skated towards the center, circling around Wooyoung once before stopping in front of him. Both of them staring at each other, looking at each other like they wanted to snarl and rip each other's throats out. But they needed to be civil, but there was nothing else they could do about it. Yet trying to get through it was the hardest part.
"So, we have to actually put effort into it. We were given a slip, trust me, I hate it to but what can we do about it."
Raising a brow at their words, but it was clear eh was bitting his tongue, his eyes said it all. Wanting to slice and dice the man in front of him but kept his arms crossed to stopped him from doing anything stupid with their coaches right there. Some would get uncomfortable with his stare, the way it felt like ice sickles stabbing into their eyes and souls. Yet Y/N stood there, his arms in his jacket pocket while staring right into those eyes. Ice sickles meeting a black yet aimless darkness that no one seemed to be able to cage. Yet the two of them were just standing there, the coaches felt uneasy. Watching them stare at each other yet their words not reaching them.
"And what is our supposed theme? I can tell you already hate it."
"I was told from my coach that we have to make it work with our own shows. They call you the prince of darkness. We have to figure out how to combine the two."
"Have you even seen me skate in person? Or did you care enough to fully pay attention to anyone else perform while you waited to go?"
Pushing his tongue against the inside of his cheek, Wooyoung didn't say anything for a while. This was something new someone ho could say something back and stand their ground against his stare and make it look easy to those outside who don't understand what his gaze means.
"Yes, I've paid attention to you, to all of them. Yours looks… almost careless? Too free to wild like nothing. Like you're too free to be caged, and how are we going to work together?"
"Well, mister locked jar, we'll find a way to get there. You always look so tight your muscles scream to be free. So before we start with more jabs, let's skate around. We can save the jabs in text, I doubt you'll want to send message through your coach since he won't replay the venom in your words."
Wooyoung wanted to say something, but Y/N already started skating. Nothing too much yet, just skating around the ring in circles, getting used to the ice while thinking of nothing yet everything at once. Wooyoung didn't join at first, for a while. Just watching him skate around, the way his feet kicked out and his skates sliced the ice. The way his arms started to move like he was trying to wrap himself. Yet it seemed too carefree in his ways, like something needed to be locked away in his arms with something. A jar, arms, something but there was nothing. Wooyoung didn't move his arms, but his legs moved. he started to follow him, just skating around, not too close but close enough to observe closer, making sure there was nothing he missed.
Studying like he was watching a small animal run around around the edges of the cages while a larger, dangerous animal watching their prey just run around simply because they were bored. The coaches watched, almost in disbelief at the sight, just watching it play out. The ice storm was just coming to become engulfed in the darkness. The coaches stayed seated close to each other, they didn't whisper words trying to understand what the two were saying, their mouths moving but almost nothing could be heard. Since their skates were making most of the noise till Y/n started a spin.
Skating towards the center and spinning, arms stretched out before slowly pulling in towards him. Wooyoung kept skating yet didn't speed up, slowed down some but the look on his face was unreadable. It stayed unreadable, blank or hiding more emotion that no one could read. The two barely spoke a word, they stayed there watching each other, keeping their words quiet or even to themselves. Each time the two watched each other, it was like this the entire time they had opened. Wooyoung never said much of a word, mainly because his coach was here and he didn't want to hear it. Even just sitting there, the coaches sat there almost stone. They were watching two slowly close in on each other and yet there was nothing they could do about it. They needed to be there and watch each other to learn about other. It would've been impossible if they kept being reminded that others were watching their every move and waiting to hear their harsh words to each other.
Wooyoung was showing something, picking up speed while making sharp turns on the blades. Kicking up ice flakes before turning into a quick spin, flowing back out into a slow pace and watched Y/N. He wanted to see it, see if he liked the movement or not or if there was something else they needed to try. He was very picky about movements and his coach knew this. He knew something needed to give out in this, but the question is who was going to give up? Who was going to give in either all the way or would they all finally compromise. Something both coaches were nervous would never work and it was either one way or another.
But Y/N showed off the move, twirling in their own way with their arms held close to their chest. Like they were clutching a heart that no one seemed to hold but their own hands. Wooyoung didn't say much, but his eyes scanned everything with something deep inside, watching with amusement, but his face remained stoned cold and there was barely anything to show. Yet he kept watching, demonstrating some moves he wanted to show, but he knew there was a time he needed to see what Y/N could do. And he did, watching the spins, turns, the gestures while watching. It went on like this for the entire two hours. It was more so getting down the moves, they knew they had to tie in their aspects. The ice and the darkness around it.
Their coaches seemed more relaxed, seeing how they didn't have to start yelling just yet and could simply sit back and watch things unfold in front of them. Maybe because this was their first time being with each other and still needed to get into a routine, to figure it out and actually have to touch each other and learn what works with them. That would be the hard part, but getting the outside dances were easy, getting closer to each other was another thing. But they watched how the skaters got closer to the benches. Sitting there still chatting with bit tongues and held back venom. They got up and got closer, listening in on the conversation while keeping their arms crossed just a bit, trying not to assume too nosy into the conversation.
"It'll need to be emotional, something that shows one side pulling away, the other trying and nearly giving up. That'll be something new."
"That involves touching you in places I'm not sure you can keep a straight face through Y/N, I rather not have to remind you about keeping a professional stare."
"Yeah and if you want to win and make this more detailed we'll need to get up close and personal, not you looking at me like you'd like to bite me."
"I already agreed to something, you'll have to agree on this, unless your doing the one thing you'd never do."
Neither coach spoke, but kept their lips pressed together while they watched their students faces. Wooyoung just turned to look at Y/N while putting their shoes on while he watched Y/N put their shoes on without stopping and looking down. Making sure the shoes felt right while grabbing their phone and handing it to the stunned Wooyoung, who slowly blinked before just taking it and entering his number. Not saying anything while just breathing with his slide on shoes and his bag not fully zipped up. He didn't say much before handing it back, but now seeing that Y/N was taking a picture of him while he was standing up. Trying not to laugh at his shocked expression they caught mid stance yet looked proud of their work. Showing it to the shocked standing man.
"Need a reminder, and you don't seem like the person who would take a picture without it trying to hard to make it look like a professional photo shoot. I'll send you one of me and you better use it. I don't need some generic photo. Anyways see you what, tomorrow? Later today? Just text me I still need to study and submit my assignments."
He watched Y/N slowly stand up but made him stop before they could walk away with their things and their coach. It made Y/N laugh before turning around to respond to his question.
"You're still in school? And you're doing this?"
"I'm in college trying to be a realtor and a designer! I just love ice skating and became what you see now, don't get too bored without me mister Ice prince."
Wooyoung stood there while he watched Y/N walking away with a hurry in their step. Talking with his coach while wooyoung just slowly blinked, trying to bring himself back and roll his shoulders some and let out a sigh. Looking at his coach who was trying not to laugh before talking. He could see that look on Wooyoung's face just questioning why he was here with someone who was clearly way too different from him. But he knew better then to fully ask it out loud, he knew what the answer was going to be.
"You're meeting new people and learning something about the man, he's very different from him given name."
"And how are we going to do this and just pretend like nothing is weird between us?"
"And you need to let loose and not look so tensed up. But that us for you two to talk about and to figure out down the line."
"Ugh."
Sitting there at the nice, oak wood table, dressed up in a nice tailored suit. A baby blue and white suit, sitting there waiting for the guest to arrive. Y/N sat there at the table with his parents talking with smiles on their faces. He sat there zoning out and didn't want to come back, this wasn't just any kind of dinner, usually no one would sit at the table like this unless it was important, and it was always filled with words like "for the family." "For your future" "For someone to keep you company and knowing you don't have to fight to keep your money." It all sounded in good faith, but there was always something, the family money is under a tight trust that not any spouse can just claim. But something else always felt wrong, sitting there across someone knowing their words were being listened to.
Yet he sat there, not wanting to look or hear anything for the entire time. But he came back when he heard the chairs scrapping, he stood up, pressing down his suit as he looked towards the large archway. Where the guest would enter and the parents would leave pretending they were talking about anything else yet were trying to ease drop on the conversation. No being too loud, too quiet, make yourself look interesting but don't give anything away. Knowing that even if you went outside there would be someone listening in on the conversation to talk about when the boys were busy. But seeing the man walk through in a classic black and white suit buttoned all the way, despite looking uncomfortable.
Wooyoung walked inside in the middle of his parents, his hands being held in front of him, trying to keep his face calm while he walked inside and kept his face neutral. He knew everything was being watched, listened to and needed to keep things calmed down before things got too bad and the lecture in the car ride would be unbearable for him and Y/N. So they stood their across from each other, the dinner being brought out with something to drink and a choice of dessert. A restaurant inside the home basically, just sitting there knowing nothing else was going to get in the way and the parents could hear everything before dropping the news. But it was pretty figured out from the two of them, they knew what was happening but wanted to find a way to talk about it without someone always being their, listening in and reporting back to the parents who would talk about them at every word used.
"This dinner is for the two of you getting used to each other, both families have come to a choice that you two will get married! It's something new for families, but it's better then fighting and dealing with wives who'd make it difficult on both sides. We'll be in the other room or your dad's office to talk more about the business aspect, the chefs have everything done and if you want to walk around the backyard is prepared! get to knowing each other!"
The two only stared at each, waiting for their parents to leave, waiting for the sound of the door clicking. Know the difference between the fake one, and the real one. They had to learn young what that meant and they both wanted to say things, but they knew it would get nowhere to go, not without long lectures knowing nothing could change. Y/N welcomed Wooyoung to the seat next to Y/N instead of across. Knowing they would need to be louder in order to actually talk and this wasn't something he could wait till later just to skate on the ice. Neither of them started much, there was almost nothing left to do. They sat there and waited for diner to come, which wasn't that far along with the glasses filled halfway and positioned in the right spots. Giving the chefs soft nods with those small, yet tired smiles before slowly looking at each other. That real click happened, and the two just started to eat.
"So, didn't know our parents were this close to each other."
"I don't use the family name during those things, so no one just thinks I'm , you know, using it."
Wooyoung only nodded his head, eating the pasta slowly, making sure no stains got on their suits. They were close and just sat there eating, so much was hard to talk about, not without someone hearing and even then, more things would have to be talked about. Homes, adoption would definitely be on the table unless some clinics could perform something, which would make things more easier for the family. What their new buildings would look like and how would they handle their family and work operations. Which is something they needed to talk about now, make it sound more authentic since Y/N gave a slight, yet subtle nod towards a faint red blinking light that would show their actions, hear their words and depending on the outcome, the families would leave them alone and trust them more. Both sets of parents new about the ice skating, but they never had time to learn how their kids were truly like in the rings and that was something both adults were happy about. It was the one place they could express themselves and not feel like their actions were being watched by their eyes.
"I have a feeling we'll be needing to look at houses soon. Take initiative before the suggestions come. Since we both know there is no way out of this."
"Well given how diverse this state is, where were you thinking? Something in a busy town? Or something more spread out?"
"Spread out, It'll give more room, There's this plot of land I looked at two weeks ago, great fields, not too far from markets, schools, a pool center. We can look at home designers from the foundations and such. I like it because you can see the stars without the far drive. If you'd like we can work out a time frame to look at it with someone there and write down some suggestions?"
"I'm not against that, Do you work at your family company tomorrow? I'm sure that we can figure out after?"
"I'll text you the details in the morning since I have a feeling neither of us will. Plus it makes things easier if we don't have dead lines since it's a bit drive from where our family company is located. What about you? Your dad seems like the type to have some buildings already picked out for you."
"he has, some buildings are too much since I haven't had the time to think of some business ideas. he wants me to stay focused in accounting firms, but the demands for those seems to be dying down and that would feel like making a lose move."
"You know what is on the market? A actual K-pop company with clear motivates, safe routines and no one feeling like they need to nearly collapse."
"That's not bad, since most here I've heard are having more lawsuits and getting bad reviews."
"I can make a note on it, I have some friends that can help with music, dance and whatnot and we can figure it out, just making sure we don't fall into the same category as the others."
"Maybe we can all meetup tomorrow? I have a feeling we'll be busy all day and need to find places for meetings, detailing, and after the house we can plan out things with the floors, I have a feeling just having one feels too, I mean it wouldn't feel like a home if all the rooms were too spread out would it?"
"I understand, plus with the people I know we can always add more and have a separate place in case the noise gets to be too much or other trips we'd need to take."
Y/N let slide a small smile before letting it go back to a polite nod. Soon eating dessert slowly, again thanking the chefs for their work and food while leaning back in the chairs, taking sips of wine just to smile and give quiet time. But it mostly thinking of what to say knowing the cameras were still going recording and listening to every word and get things straight. The two just looked at each the, planning something but knowing phones weren't allowed at the dinner table, or during meetings and for this case, not on dates inside each others homes unless it was needed.
"Would you like to see the backyard? There's a nice greenhouse we can sit in and talk more and I can show you the flowers I'm proud of."
"I'd love to do that. By all means lead the way, are we allowed to take these with? Would their be something waiting for us inside?'
"Something in that manner yes. We have about an hour left before the roads get a little too busy and I won't keep you long."
The two stood up and kept walking. Going through the sliding doors while Y/N pointed out the bar around the pool, the freshly cut grass and the cleaned seats with their own little tables and towels set out just waiting for someone to sit and use them. Plenty of shady spaces for someone to eat and drink in the cool comfort of the dark, along with mist in case it was too hot and the shade was too much. There was a nice stone pathway to the greenhouse, it was much larger then some since there were seating areas for fresh coffee, tea, a large kitchen with fresh and plenty of herbs, fruits, veggies and cooking utensils in case someone wanted to cook out here and eat to themselves, sitting down with some hidden speakers playing soft noises to feel like they were away from the noises of outside.
They walked inside and walked to the back, where they sat down and crossed their legs, wooyoung looking around looking for the same cameras and speakers. But Y/N shook their eyes, moving them around to give that signal while they sat there.
"This is the private space and given the conversation we had in the dinning room, their happy with those answers."
"I mean neither of us were lying but goodness, the ice prince and the Prince of darkness actually getting married and we already know how that's going to end with out families."
"We're in our 20s, starting things ourselves would show them we don't need money that they can use strings with and I take your parents don't know your title in the ring?"
"Not entirely, my grandparents do and they love it. They'll be there for it and would want to meet you before then or let it be a surprise so they can enjoy it truly. They don't like watching practice sine they know my family."
"I understand, I have my two friends watch since I don't have grandparents, they passed last year and my grandma loved it when I skated. Maybe you'll meet them, But I am curious about this land you're talking about. Is there a lake somewhere that we plan on claiming?"
Wooyoung slipped out a soft chuckle, swirling the wine glass slightly before leaning back in the wood crafted chair, feeling comfortable with a shake of his head. Taking yet another sip and checking his watch.
"No, I'd rather let the kids figure it out. We both know it's something we'd have to do or they'd just find some way to get kids and force them onto us which would only make it worst."
"Oh I know, I've made plans to head to some clinics about it, but my mom told me to wait till this meeting. I didn't think it would be you, although I guess it's a sign."
"Do I want to know what that sign could mean or do I want to just go with the flow and learn for ourselves?"
"Let's learn, we still have practice to do and need to figure this out. But also not force each other, I rather not be on the other end of the angry ice prince's stare. I like staying alive."
"Please, Darkness Prince must have a meaner Glare then I do, not just because your outfits are completely black."
"That's something for you to figure out if you want to, that is, but that's all."
"I understand, I've finished the wine and it was amazing. let's go head back hm? I have a feeling the driver is already here and we'll have a talk about it during. I'll have something drafted up and will send it to you sometime tomorrow before practice."
The pair walked back inside the house, walking to the grand entrance and bowed softly towards each other. The parents seeming pleased at their interaction and would let it be known. Since the conversations seemed to go on track without the parents needing to push into certain directions.
"I take it there's plans for tomorrow? Do you tow have transportation planned or should we provide that for you?"
"i have transportation already planned out and will either be here or at your company to pick Y/N up. Is either or okay with?"
"Of course dear, just send us a text if either of you need anything."
Y/N watched Wooyoung walk outside with his family into the car. Already having a nice conversation with those polite smiles before disappearing into the car. Driving away from the large circle driveway and out of the security gate. Y/N walked inside with a soft conversation about their topics, when asked. Walking to their room knowing that no one else could watch them. Being able to wash up, play something and open their hidden mini fridge with prepped food and windows slightly opened so there was no smell inside.
Getting ready for the drive, Wooyoung was coming over in his own car to get Y/N. The parents were at work but were watching just to make sure this little "date" went though. Y/N got dressed in the clothes of their choice, walking downstairs with their phone, skating bag on their back with some snacks inside and walking outside. Closing the door and making sure it's locked before getting that annoying alarm until then. Walking over to the car sitting in front of the large walkway to the house. Wooyoung opened the door from inside and told Y/N to set he bag in the back. Since he knew what it was by the looks of it and only knowing where things were going after all of this. the meetings, the negotiating, planning for separate things and learning who could take on which one and handle all the calls while making it look easy.
Sitting in the car, the inside looked amazing, black and purple with a touchscreen dashboard, cooling and heating seats with messages. Sitting there and getting buckled up. Watching Wooyoung's left arm hold the steering wheel as he begun the drive. Driving past the busy roads, walking business men and those just trying to get their destinations. Wooyoung let Y/n control the music, trying to stays serious despite some of the unserious songs Y/N would pick. Until one song made him laugh at a red light,he knew what Y/N was doing. Yet it was part of Y/N's plan, watching him slowly open himself but the song was something funny so it worked.
"Really? This song? Did you seen the dance video to this? Oh one of my friends kept screaming like his soul was personally being attacked watching it."
"Oh my gods I couldn't stop laughing during it. Can you imagine the concert for the song too?"
"Oh please I don't want to know I'd leave their disappointed. But it's not awkward when sitting in here, i want to know more about this property you've talked about! Before this I feel like you would've given me business answers and not just a random response that you think I want to hear. We're gonna be in this car for a while and practically be around each other all day by the looks of it, might as well get comfortable shouldn't we?"
"I told you most about it yesterday, we're going there now just to meet with a contractor who can help with this? Besides our coaches are gonna have a field day with this."
"They can lean about that later. For now this is the area, it's not too far but as you can see, nothing to light or loud in the day and it's just like this in night."
Soon, appearing near a black SUV, a lady standing outside holding a clipboard with her phone out, just looking around and slightly waving at the car pulling up. The grass wasn't too high, but the pair slowly parked and soon got out of the car. Y/N looking around the open field with some trees here and there, a long road stretching miles away but the houses were far away, but not too far that it felt like they were way too far in case of a run or like the lights were too dim. Wooyoung smiled as eh walked towards the contractor, watching Y/N slowly closer to the sold sign. Looking around at the open field and having some ideas, but wanted to see what Wooyoung wanted, what rooms they were looking for and how far were they willing to go? I mean for now they should think small. Not nothing too major or too big that feels like ta reminder that they need to rush into things and then yell at each other later while things were getting too chaotic.
"This space is completely opened to new buildings and attachments, adding them can go easily and people can easily work on if or whenever when you to want to expand it. Di you have ideas so far or would you like to keep walking around to get a layout?"
"Can we walk around the land? Get a nice feel of everything while we see what else. I can still send you pictures and later we can schedule for that 3D viewing? Making sure we have all the measurements, pipes, floor plans and space?"
"Of course, and that can be for everything, pool space, other things we can always think and look around and make adjustments before the final layout."
Y/n looked at wooyoung, seeing him take charge and making sure they had a things planned out before just jumping straight into it. But Y/N was also already walking around, looking around feeling like they already have some ideas but wanted to make sure things were actually okay before just saying they want this and that without thinking of what wooyoung wanted or was okay with. They watched as the lady stood by her car while wooyoung walked over, hands in his pocket and looking around. Wanting to see what Y/n had in mind before speaking his own mind. This place was brand new, things would take a long time before they could even see the home being actually built and plan out.
"What are you thinking of first here?"
"A long driveway, sure taking out the trash would be hell but a nice, not crazy long but a stoned driveway but instead of a fountain, You know I've always like flowerbeds leading up to the house. But do you think we can have a front and back deck?"
"I feel like you've had this dream house of yours already planned out and I'm about to see some things we don't even have."
"Well Think about it! A nice stone driveway, leading up to the front deck but it would have a door, winters here would be amazing. With windows around the entire front and back deck, with seating areas, with some coffee tables, a nice coach but there would have to be a little… storage thingy for blankets and snacks. At least for the front"
Wooyoung slowly blinked for a second, just watching Y/N walk around while tracing out the outlines for things, being completely focused and then turned to Wooyoung who just looked shocked. The look on his face, he tried to stay cold, distant while looking around yet he saw this person in front of him. Just walking around with ideas spilling out of their mouth, yet he knew this was just the beginning, how would the rest of the house go just for the starter? They still needed rooms but his thoughts were interrupted by Y/N still walking around just moving their hands around to demonstrate.
"Do we really need the floor ceiling windows? Because let's be honest the high part doesn't get cleaned that often and just looks annoying. But that's just me, what would you like for the living room? I started the front, I want to hear your choices on it."
Wooyoung was standoff about it for a couple of minutes. He just stood there despite Y/N just standing there, blinking and waiting for him to start talking. Slowly his words came out for the living room, walking to how long and wide it could be. He wanted it to flow out into other parts of the house, not just feeling like a maze or cage in any other rooms. He felt like the kitchen would be most expensive part of the house. Most appliances will be there, along with counters, cabinets, panty space, oven space, the fridge, maybe an island just so things don't feel so crowded, a microwave and still enough room to walk around and not bump into each other. But that's what's he was thinking, walking around slowly just with the outlines in his head. Letting out small words fall out while he puts his thoughts together.
"How many rooms do you think we should have? At least to start or are you gonna have more short answers for that?"
"Like Bedrooms? Rooms? We can have like, 5. A movie room, bedrooms with their own suits for bathrooms. Home offices or something else. We can figure it out sooner or later. But let's do that when we see how long and tall the rooms actually are before just diving straight into it. I like making sure the final things are planned right instead of just going along the way."
Looking at his calculating face, Y/N knew he was thinking more instead of just being in a dreamy way. But in a more realistic way while thinking of other things, the would have to merge and still build a place to work. knowing their family would look at them and how things were being planned. And so far, the two of them had a very long way to go in order to keep things on track. Leaving things to imagination could either go really well or even backwards depending on how it would look and go. Wooyoung made his way back to the car, talking to the lady and asking where should they meet for the Virtual reality aspect of it, wanting to make sure things were right and getting the outline and bare build of the house was correct before adding more things, appliances and furniture and not wanting to cut into the walls and move things around.
The pair sat in the car just following the lady's car while Y/N kept texting his friends. Trying not to laugh at somethings while Wooyoung stayed focused on the road. His face stayed cold but there was something in his eyes, it was new. Something he didn't know he could hold but he just stayed focused and made sure they got to the right place.
"Leave your phone in the car, I can handle the payment portion. We need to be focused on this part. I rather not have to worry about something later."
he wanted to add more, but he also didn't want to seem too planned out for this and look more prepared then needed. Y/N raised an eyebrow but left his phone in the car. They were parked in an underground garage, walking behind the lady while the two had their hands in their pockets. The lady was giving details about how the program worked, going up to the floor where some men would stand near one of the walls with blueprints ready to be drawn up and written. Since a house like is going to take a long time, the two still needed to get other things in motion before trying much. Getting the outline of the house was the hard part, especially the backyard, there would be no such thing as a small backyard.
And now, being able to actually see the outline of the housing with each room was more helpful. Seeing how large a good measurement would be. Just being there and being able to walk around, seeing some of the appliances and furniture in places, seeing how much space they would have for some things, how the hallways would be spaced, some ideas for the living room and kitchen. Not just a large opened wall, but a nice archway for one way, and a bar type window with bar stools and still enough room for drinks, food and maybe some other things. Having some chairs being brought in to actually sit on and get a better idea. They stayed there longer then they thought.
Wooyoung was determined to make sure they didn't just settle with good enough, he wanted to make sure that things were looking just like he had planned and that it was functional, comfortable and nothing every felt too suffocating or too spacious. Just enough to feel like an actual home and not just a place where a bed and food are. Walking around, Wooyoung kept looking at the floor plans, the walls, pipelines, built in things to make it feel more easy to open things, maybe some secret rooms they would make into little spaces for themselves, maybe their kids when the time comes for it. But that was them thinking practical so nothing needs to change later and things needed to change.
Wooyoung stayed still when it came to the bedroom, they still needed to handle that, what kind of closet they wanted, if they wanted a balcony, walk in closets, how the bathrooms were to look. Just some simple things and how it all seemed to plan out. The bedroom would need to be a place they could come together and not feel like things were too clashing instead of coming together as one. Wooyoung Looked at Y/N, standing there with the light of just plain walls and nothing, just waiting for the words to come out while they stared at each other. And one of them opened their mouths.
"How about this, we have a wall this will be where the bed goes but hear me out, The top of it has a large thin window panel, with two window doors, one on each side that can open up to the balcony? It wouldn't bee too large, but a curved circle we can add to later. On one side can be the bathroom, the other can be for the closet? But the large walk in closets."
"Upper and lower floor kind of closet? I take it we both have a lot of things, not just clothes and shoes, but collections of certain things we like to use alone and not need to organize things?"
"Ooo, I like that, that way we can keep things more organized, I like things color coded but also separate, shoes on the floor makes sense but they can be covered up by the outfits and trying to find those can make more messes."
"And what about the bathroom? What are we thinking of here."
With each topic, the walls started top show what they were thinking, How the walls would look, different types of flooring, bathroom having heating. The house would look luxurious, simple at first but still be considered to be. The two kept slowly walking around, wooyoung feeling content with the layout, yet knowing that at some point later, they could start making sure each room felt like it's own space. This was the longest part, yet they could have more fun with it later. And walking outside, Y/n had a certain smirk on her face. Looking over to Wooyoung who was checking his phone, making sure his friends were at the agreed space and time, they needed to practice before the ring would close and they would have to wait for the next day to practice and need to catch up.
"We're heading to the ring and then I'll drop you of at your parents house. Unless you have your own place I don't know about."
"Relax ice boy, You'll see my own place sooner or later. you can just drop me off at my parents house after practice. What are we working on this time?"
"Turns and some spins. Coach sent me t he song we have to skate to, So I want to work on that. I have an idea that will make sense on the ice instead of the car."
"On which side here, I don't think making me do any tight turns would help."
"You'll see when we get there, now watch it."
The pair sat in the car, Y/N getting his phone and texting back their friends who were getting worried about the time gap in between messages. Trying to keep his face neutral while Wooyoung kept driving. Letting the music play in the background till they made it to the ring. They still had about 2 hours before the place had to close down for the night. And they walked right inside and got to work. Wooyoung showed the idea he had for one part. Them skating on the opposite sides, staring at each other with one arm reaching out, the other arm barely touching the glass till they started to make a swirl closer together. Their fingers touching, the next part was something they started slowly.
Their fingers slowly touched before they held hands, keeping themselves apart so their skates didn't clash before the hands found their spots. Wooyoung pulled away just to spin Y/N around before letting him go. Watching Y/N just skated around him, kneeling down some, just making those turns, watching him spin around in his own circle before breaking free. Stretching his arms back out but Y/N almost kept getting further away, despite him slowly getting closer and reaching for them. One part that wasn't on the plan was Y/N spinning and laying on the ice floor, hissing before opening his eyes and seeing Wooyoung on top of him, arms keeping hem caged under just as the music seemed to end. Neither of them had moved, just stayed staring at each other in complete shock at the state of themselves. Not moving before Wooyoung cleared his throat. His hair falling in front of his eyes before standing up, holding out his hand and helping Y/n up as well.
"We should keep that in, Even if it doesn't look like an accident. It looks more personal and amazing."
"You looked concerned like I hit something on the way down. Am I bleeding anywhere? want to check? I don't feel anything."
Wooyoung looked, he did hear a thud, checking his head, his ankles, his arms and they were okay. He felt better, knowing the fall wasn't that serious but he rather be safe then sorry. Just standing there and dusting off the ice. Wooyoung needed to write this down, somehow sketching it out just to make sure it slowly became in dept into his memory and his body. The two stared at each other, Wooyoung holding y/N elbows before slowly letting go. Dusting off his hands and looking at the clock. They needed to go home and Wooyoung needed to drop off Y/N like he promised he would. So he made sure they had some things down before waking into the same locker room to get their shoes on. Neither said much while they walked to the car, the Sun already setting and the air starting to get cooler. Leaning against the car window and being driven home. The moon coming out faster then either could be ready for.
"You know, I liked today, it was fun and we got to plan things faster then I thought. Honestly I was more prepared for fighting and such but I also probably just sound hopeful."
Wooyoung watched Y/N grab his bag and walk inside the house. He stayed there until the door close and he felt a soft smile crept onto his life. Driving away while calling his friends on the car dashboard. Already telling them about the day and describing how they talked about the house on the outside of town. He didn't notice, but he had a soft smile on his face. Talking about everything with an absent mind of his own reactions while he kept driving to his own place. He would update his parents on how it went in the morning, and leave it at there. Knowing one of his friends was definitely already there wanting to know even more parts and just sitting on the large couch with snacks, drinks and something funny in the back just to have some noise for them knowing no other parents were going to barge in and tell them to control their noise level like they were still in school.
Arriving in the parking garage, Wooyoung got inside and saw his best friends, San and yeosang just sitting there with their drinks in hand while he took his shoes off and jumped over his own couch. Sitting there while Yeosang handed him and the trio sat there listening to wooyoung talk about the entire day.
"I thought you were so ready to hate Y/N, isn't he from the family your parents always use those tight smiles around despite being in the same business."
"Yes! I asked the same thing but we might be able to actually make that business we've talked about. It would blow up if we can show how different we are, everyone can actually handle things instead of worrying about everyone like come on, you want more money? Treat your idols better."
"The Ice prince has found his… King? Queen? Which are we using here?"
"Honestly? I have no Idea."
"And you're calling me at 12am because of?"
"You said to call if I had any skating ideas this close and yes, I have a lot and I just written them down and needed to get these out of the way."
"I told you to call me if you had any house ideas we'd need to talk about since their still doing the backyard. Skating ideas are better in person."
"I know, I wanted to be annoying, but I was thinking for the backyard because we never did agree on the walk way leading to that greenhouse you mentioned. Aren't they almost done with that?"
Wooyoung let out a sigh, trying not to laugh but it slipped out before he could even stop it. Laying there on the bed with no shirt with the phone barely on his ear, running his hand through his hair and shaking his head. A stone pathway was something he thought about, but an entire stone one, like separate stones just to skip towards. But he could tell Y/N was more excited about this more then he was. but he also just wanted to get the outside done because he wanted the inside to be a mix of the two of them. But he wasn't expecting the late night random phone calls of energy coming from this supposed night owl who had more energy close to the AM hours of the night.
"What were you thinking, we already have the stone driveway and could this really not wait until the morning? When the sun was actually up and not the moon?"
"The Moon is my Sun, and No because I would forget and needed to tell you now before I actually fell asleep so you get to deal with it. But I was thinking those stepping stones because I saw these really cute little flowers that could go around the stones like the outline and lead to the greenhouse and make it feel more cozy But also like, separate other places? because didn't you say you wanted a pool area? Did you ever tell them how big you wanted? Ooo are we still getting that hot tub area you talked about once? There's this cute idea I had with some wood and stones to build like an outside sauna room but ti could also connect to the kitchen in case the outside door got locked."
Wooyoung had to laugh, he couldn't help it. It wasn't a mean laugh, but just one of disbelief, he was still half asleep and slowly sitting up. Rubbing his face while slowly sitting up and shaking his head. He heard every word, but still needed time to process it. The thoughts in his heads all jumbling before they started to make sense while trying to come up with his own response. He sat up against the wall while looking around at his dark room before letting one of the LED's slowly flashing different colors, yawning some.
"Okay, first off you said that with way too enthusiasm, second off you do realize those flowers will have to wait. It's almost winter and those would die before they could bloom. Second off a Sauna feels too much, something that feels like a show off and not an actual home. And in the kitchen? Really? Between everything that would mean we'd have to wait just a bit longer and given how excited you sound, that isn't something your ready for. Besides we usually keep hanging out so there's no need to move into places. Is that really what you called me for?"
"Do I really need a reason to call you?"
Something about the tone in Y/N's voice made Wooyoung tilt his head. Turning more serious while he slowly sat on the edge of the bed, near his shoes while listening harder. Almost like he could hear sniffles and the earlier talk was something as a distraction.
"Where are you right now?"
"At home, where else would I be?'
"Y/N, where are you."
There was a beat of silence. Wooyoung already got up, tried to keep the phone on his ear while trying to throw on some shoes. he knew something was wrong, his gut was screaming it and there was nothing that was about to make him just sit there and ignore it. Not when it was reaching to be 1am and he could tell that the usually bubbly person suddenly being quiet with a shaky tone. He needed to get there and he was gonna figure out what he needed to do.
"I went out with some distance family members to a place, since they were all in town for something and the dinner was a shit show. Got my entire life dissected and some ass of cousins kept making jabs at me while showing off things they've already gotten done. Some saying-"
"You don't have to tell me, I get it. But where are you right now, I doubt you could make it into a bathroom right now and by the sounds of it you're outside."
"I walked to a ramen shop, I'm sure someone there has my location and is talking bout it. Why?"
"Stay right there, I'm coming and no you're not talking me out of it. Order something, anything if you can stomach it. But also send me the name, you can stay on the phone with me in case you just need to hear me, okay?"
"Okay"
hearing that small voice saying okay. Wooyoung slipped on some random slippers and made his way downstairs to his elevator. Knowing taking the stairs in this penthouse would just be hell and he wasn't about to get out of breath already. Sure it would take longer but he could use that as an excuse and get them to laugh a little. But he wasn't about to just ignore this. After all they were building a partnership, and right now someone needed a shoulder to cry on and get it out without being called more names and told to let it out later when no one was watching and could easily just poke more into it and then be surprised by the lashing out. Making jokes about the elevator taking forever despite being one of the only ones using it unless someone else staying there needed it. But still even the bland music? He heard those soft chuckles in the back and it made the run all better when the doors opened at the bottom.
He heard the name, and he got in the car and sped his way. it wasn't that far with the little night traffic he had right now. Getting there in his car, probably looking like a mess but he could care less right now. The ice was melting but underneath was something dark, something that was rare for others to see without getting impaled on the ice and left outside. Parking his car and making sure he wouldn't get in trouble for a very messed up parking job. Wooyoung got outside and Hung up his phone, watching Y/N from the window and walked right inside. The look on their face, despite their nice, formal clothes the look in their eyes said it all. And Wooyoung didn't need words to understand it, but he wasn't gonna let Y/n just wallow in it.
So he walked over and sat down right across from him. Setting his phone and keys on the table and just held their hands without thinking. Watching the glossy eyes get more wet while their shoulders shook. Wooyoung's stern yet soft eyes started at him. Just giving the comfort without needing to voice it out loud and just sat there. Wanting to make sure and watch the look on their face. If they needed to cry he would walk them to the car. But if not they could sit there and just eat.
"You know what can make you laugh? Some spicy ramen. This is the 24 hour self serve right? Come on, let's get some food."
"Wooyoung, you look like you just ran out of bed are you seriously asking me about ramen right now?"
"Duh, now get up mister we can cry over some hot ramen instead of some stuck up hallow out bi- I mean person."
Wooyoung gave a sweet smile but it made Y/n laugh by the sudden cut off like they were teenagers making sure no adults heard them to say you shouldn't be saying that. But they got up and got to pick out the flavors, Wooyoung making sure Y/N got whatever they wanted first. Making jokes and knowing they were definitely gonna get some ice cream after this just to make up for it. have fun their now way whether or not someone came over just to try and rub salt on the wound. They got the same with different toppings, yet still tried to eat. Wooyoung making noises despite how hot it was, bu his goal was simple. Making Y/N laugh and he was getting there just by being himself behind all the ice.
Y/N spent more time laughing with him and his jokes then trying to eat, fanning his nose because of it and the spice, but the two were genuinely feeling better here. Slowly eating and taking drinks despite how late it was and how messy Wooyoung looked, though it wasn't that bed, just sweaty because of the food but they were happy with each other. Just sitting here, slurping food and talking about anything else and being happy with it till they were done eating. Wooyoung paid for anything, there was no debating that option here and he was bound to make sure of it.
"If we hurry we can get that ice cream down the street?"
"Please, I have s'more ice cream at home and we can eat the tub right there."
The two ere walking out the door, Wooyoung had his arm wrapped around Y/N's shoulder and the two were smiling until Y/N saw another car pull up close to Wooyoung's car. Wooyoung saw the car and his face went back to the ice, like nothing happened and he helped Y/N get inside. Ensuring them that they didn't have to answer any questions while they got inside the car. Wooyoung would handle it, so he closed the door and leaned against it, looking at Y/N's mom and cousin getting out of car, although their cousin didn't need to and Wooyoung wasn't too thrilled about it. He remember that plastered smile and wasn't entirely too keen on being friendly.
"Oh Wooyoung! I was wonder why Y/N stayed out here, I didn't know you still lived here."
"Yun-Ha, my family is partners with Y/N's parents. Of course I stayed here."
"We thought something happened since Y/N didn't come back, is he okay? Is he going back with you tonight?"
"Why would Wooyoung and Y/N be at the same place? I thought tonight was a family celebration?"
Wooyoung couldn't help but roll his eyes. His reputation now showing and he truly couldn't care, he moved his hands into his pockets, keeping his body up against the door while giving Yun-ha the tired expression on his face. Acting like no one else is there and not trying to hide any disappoint in his tone, the way there was nothing warm in his eyes.
"We're engaged, for our own reasons and it's late. Yes Y/N is coming with me, we have housing plans we still need to discuss with eh builders for the outside pool and backyard. And no, please do not try and ask for any more information, you will learn about it just like everyone else. Also, Mrs l/n, thank you for coming to check on him. he didn't feel good and I'm gonna take him with me, and for that location will be off. The penthouse doesn't allow unwanted guest and right now I don't want my husband feeling nervous for forcing him when he feels sick and ill. Call in the morning and I'll make sure he's okay and if not I'll be honest with you, is that okay?"
Jun-Ha just stared at him. That plastered smile stretching a little too far but it didn't meet her eyes, it didn't feel real and that was okay. Wooyoung simple just ignored it and moved his eyes back to the mother. Seeing the understanding look in his eyes, but also happy to see someones standing up for her son knowing they would be safe and didn't need to bet he pushy one, though Wooyoung kept giving the side eyes to yun-ha. He didn't like the feeling he was getting, and he knew he needed to get home and update somethings before something could go wrong and that was the last thing he needed, the contest was in two weeks and things felt like they were becoming too tight before something was about to burst and there was nothing anyone could do about it until they popped.
Wooyoung got off the side door and walked to the drivers side, getting inside and started the car, staring outside the car before driving off. Holding Y/N's hand while he drove to his penthouse. His jaw slowly loosening the more distance he got to put between the two of them.He didn't bring it up, and he wasn't going to unless Y/N wanted to. And given that interaction, he knew some questions were coming before the night was over, though he was hoping to get them over with before the sun rises so they could start the day off right on a better slate without worry.
"Do you know my cousin?"
"She used to work at one of my mom's places and she always spoke in that high tone to get my attention. I openly told her if I ever got into an arranged marriage with her, nothing would come from it and she'd be more miserable then she already is. Even my mom got tired of her and was happy she quit to move to the states for more work. She'd be very disappointed and annoyed with me. And honestly I'd just wait till she messed up in order to mess with her."
"Are you actually taking me to your place?"
"Yes, you can sleep there and we can eat ice cream till you fall asleep. Besides, at some point we would either move in into the penthouse or somewhere else, although I don't feel like dealing with moving everything from the penthouse."
"And you're that sure I'd be the one moving in with you?"
"I'm not moving into the house with your parents. That would make things more complicated and I really don't feel like dealing with more it. Now relax and talk about something else before you start crying."
Watching Y/N try not to laugh while leaning back in the seat. Watching Wooyoung drive around before coming to see the garage. The parking garage and finally parked the car. Helping Y/N get outside the car and walked through the lobby, seeing Y/N look around and loosening the outfit collar while walking to the elevator, keeping his hands in his pocket while seeing one of the concierge come over. Seeing him hold out a robe and some extra clothes, just in case along with some slippers. Making them stop to switch out the shoes with slippers, clean that smell like lavender. Y/N slowly allowed the worker to take their shoes and switch them out, watching wooyoung do the same and thanked them greatly. Walking inside the elevator while wooyoung pressed the top floor.
"Did your parents paid for this?"
"I used some of my old winnings from the competition and maid sure my parents couldn't try to buy it form me. So it's technically all mine, they can visit, but they rarely do and we usually just meet at their house."
Walking inside the room once the doors opened, it was slightly dimly lit, but the moonlight outside would bring in more light then some lights in his home. He let Y/N walk around, walking to the kitchen and pulling out the freezer, letting Y/N look at the choices. Seeing the small cartons of ice cream all stacked carefully but also organized and with a little compartment for spoons to use for each ice cream. Tucking the Pj's under his arm, Y/N picked a carton and watched the bottom freezer slowly closing before he shook his hair. Looking over while leaning against the counter.
"I have a guest room if you want to sleep there, though they look plain and boring."
"And if I wanna be bold and sleep in your room? Or the living room? You got a TV in your room we can watch something on?"
"I mean I do, but why would you want to sleep in my bed? Isn't that moving too fast and we have more things to think about?"
"Our entire lives have been moving too fast, we can make it work in our own way. And plus I don't want to be alone in case I get some text messages from those at the dinner, I'd either have someone to keep me distracted from that till morning, you know?"
Seeing the poster, the way the words fell out, his eyes looking at the frozen Ice cream while wooyoung just stared a the man in front of him. Seeing the look in his eyes, his shoulders. He knew it all to well and started to walk, doing a head tilt to follow him. Y/N followed behind, looking at the decorations and the design of the hallways, the doors with keypads on the doors. It was a way of control, knowing no one could get inside looking for things unless he gave them the codes, and it was rare he did unless it was his friends coming over. Wooyoung turned on a room light, it was a large bathroom with some soaps and towels, some other skincare and lotion after a bath or shower.
"You can shower in here if you want but you can also change. I'll leave my room door open so you which one to walk inside. The TV light will be on, let em see the ice cream, i can ut it in my room fridge."
Being more gentle then others would think, Wooyoung left Y/N to shower in the bathroom. Letting them be curious of his choices, but this also gave Y/N of why he was so insisted on some things for the house. Why some spaces seemed large then others, how some places were designed and why he wanted them that way, but it also gave him an idea of how he liked things organized. How the freezer was organized, how his bathroom was clean, sleek, simple. Black and white but it was also felt like him. Wooyoung pressed a button on one of his night stands, the TV slowly coming down from the ceiling, slowly showing the large screen with the screen showing many apps to choose from. He left the controller on his bed while the ice cream stayed inside his mini fridge. Maybe sleeping with a hoodie on tonight was the best idea, it keeps him warm and he likes his room cold to sleep, it gives him an excuse to use the heated blanket, maybe that would be different tonight to.
Soon after getting the bed comfortable, Y/N walked through the door and looked around at the room. Seeing the windows, the built in shelves on one wall, his closet doors, the rugs and little bench in front of the bed, but also turning to see the TV, seeing the apps and wooyoung on the bed, but changed pants so he wasn't burning up.
"Fridge is over there, you can pick whatever we watch fore the night, if you want the other night stand has a shelf you can hide your phone in."
he saw that soft smile before he knew his nights would be different. The way Y/N got comfortable against him while playing something random on the TV. Snuggled up against him with ice cream, seeing how wooyoung had a second spoon and they could both snack on it. Halfway not paying attention while making last minute jokes, but both trying to stay awake. Barely under the blankets yet feeling peace with each other, more comfortable with their walls slightly down enough just to fall asleep next to each other. The Ice cream carton sitting empty on a nightstand, both of them laying there, comfortable in bed with the TV slowly playing something. Wooyoung had one arm wrapped around Y/N's shoulder, Y/n sleeping on his chest while the blanket only covered their legs. It was heated and they didn't want to wake up sweating because of it.
"Are you thinking of the jump and then the grab? Something in the middle?"
"Maybe a spin before the lift, I'll spin underneath before letting you go."
"What if I did a backwards skate? Reaching out afterwards?"
Spinning around the ice ring, Wooyoung and Y/n needed to be serious, they were getting closer and still needed too find outfits. Already having designer make the outfits, but neither of them knew what the other was planning to wear, how it looked or anything. But Wooyoung was being more serious, his posture become more ridged, his focus staying on the ring in front of him before anything else. Spending most of his free time back at the ring while making sure his movements seem to flow like Y/N, mainly when they would get close together when they needed to be close together, if not nearly touching. His face showed how deeply he was thinking about this, wanting to make sure he didn't miss anything and he had everything thought out before talking.
He started to skate around more, Y/n being in the middle and watching him gain speed while he started to act out the movements, his hands moving outward inn the motions before he would either nod his head or he would shake it. it was either or, he rarely talked when he was this focused. Unless he truly needed to talk and make sure everything was right, even though Y/n was doing his best to lighten the mood, but there wasn't much he could do. He needed to be careful with his words, he already got glared at once, and it was like feeling a sword strike. But it was starting to wear off of Y/N, he would stand there with his arms crossed jus watching him.
His face getting more serious, but also more annoyed. Why snap when the two are just doing their best? But there was only so much either of them could do in a state like this and that always made it seem more annoyed, but also just made it seem like everything was going wrong, to the smallest detail which always made things way more complicated. Everything needed to e perfect or he would want to correct it till it felt better. But he needed something to keep him ground during it.
"Come, do it with me, I want to see how you have it planned out."
"Then let's test it out Ice king."
Trying to sound teasing, Y/n got closer, holding his hand and startling to skate towards him, grabbing his hand and slowly skating around. Twisting his feet to make like n oval type patter before guiding him into the spin, just going around in a circle till they got right to the part wooyoung had to life him up. And he did so slowly, lifting him in the air while spinning around still, counting in his head to ten before carefully letting Y/N down, his hands still reached out and watching how Y/N got further away, his own hand reached out towards him like he was grasping towards him yet would never be able to fully reach him. Yet still managed to stop and stand up, studying wooyoung's face while slowly relaxing. Seeing a flicker of a smile show meaning he was satisfied with the results of it, the ending was slowly coming together and things were looking great, on track just the at they needed to be. They just needed to run through t from the top, making sure they liked everything slowly coming together and there was nothing missing.
So they let the music play from the top, starting from the beginning. Wooyoung skating slowly by himself, the lightening being focused on him while he looked around lost and confused. Letting the ice kick up behind him before he started to welcome the loneliness around him like nothing else seemed to come to him. Something that felt a little too real even now, and soon Y/N would join, slowly skating around like he was looking for someone, his face looking around almost with an excited expression while he got used to everything around him. The two would get close, slowly skating in two circles before pulling away, spreading out into different circles before crossing paths. Trying to get closer to each other, reaching out to grab, their hands barely touching yet getting closer reach time. Till they got to impress each other, smiling while skating around, jumping up, taking leaps before falling apart from each other. Being pulled away from each other, the last embrace before they got pulled away from each other. As if they've lost each other in the dark, before they managed to get finally get closer to reach other, the ice getting further apart yet somehow pulling them closer before spinning together one last time. Their feet staying further apart before wooyoung added something, a dip at the last moment to make it come to a full stop.
The cold air greeting the two of them while they stared at each other, panting yet slightly smiling. Their coaches saw it in how the two stared at each other, just looking at each other, Wooyoung's hands finding the perfect place to rest, Y/N's hands around his waist before they slowly stood, only because wooyoung's timer went off, they were there for because they still had things they needed to do, meeting up with their friends mainly being one of them, driving out to check the building, mainly the driveway just to make sure it was all finished, a heated driveway because of the winters and not wanting the tires to be stuck in the ice.
"You never leave without a timer don't you?"
"Not unless we don't have things planned and deadlines to meet, no. Besides, by the looks of it we're doing amazing."
"Yeah because you're very stubborn on being perfect about it, yet we managed to compromise."
"Yeah, after three different tries we were able to do so after I nearly screamed at you."
Wooyoung playfully rolled his eyes as he watched Y/N skate away. Watching his hair softly bounce, before getting into the little booth to get his shoes on. Looking cup and seeing y/n sitting and looking at his phone. Scrolling and texting through somethings while looking at free space for any place they could finally move out, finding out their own place even though their waiting on the house. it would still take time before anything could fully be done, at least before it could all get setup.
"Are we driving together, or are we meeting your friends later before we go home?"
"I can drop you off if you want to get changed. They found an office space but want to talk to some others before we could get anything else done."
"Then let's do that first, look a little bit more serious about this before we make any other choices. I think my car should be close."
Wooyoung looked at Y/N's face, seeing their face get more focused but wouldn't show him what was happening or what was driving him crazy. Yet he just kept the face still, smiling still as he shut it off. Zipping his bag and finally looking up towards Wooyoung, who had that look but knew there was questioning and curiosity, but there was no stopping Y/N, who was walking towards the door with things planned out all in his mind. Wooyoung slowly walking behind him, messing with his hair while trying to catch up before hearing a voice he didn't want toy hear. It made him roll his eyes while he was still walking towards the door. Seeing the face of the person opening it, waving with a fake smile on her face but he could only see the back of Y/N's head, wanting to know how they reacted to this unexpected visit. But he could hear their voice, and something about it made him slowly get closer, just watching.
But the confused look of Y/N said it all, a raised eyebrow and a questioning look written all over his face while he got closer, he slowed down on purpose because he wasn't sure if he wanted to keep walking at this pace and see what else she had to say. It was clear she was looking around for one person she wanted, but Wooyoung stayed far back, but he was close enough to listen, debating if he should just put an end to this or if he should keep walking.
"Well Hello Yun-ha, How did you know i was here exactly? Weren't you trying to leave soon?"
"Your mom said you'd might be here, but if not to just wait or text you. And you didn't answer my text so I thought I'd come by and see what you were doing! Though I tried to come earlier but some people told me I wasn't allowed inside."
"Because it's a competition ring and no one is allowed to see it unless the skaters allow it. None of us have given permission for anyone."
"Not even your family? I'm Hurt."
"You're not close family, and you've only been here a day. Now please excuse me so I can leave, I have some viewings to look at and some more plans for later."
"You're finally looking at places? Think I can come with?"
Y/N kept walking, Yun-Ha walking next to him while wooyoung needed to have this talk with his coach, wanting to make sure nothing was missed or messed with. He wanted to hide his actual skates in case someone tried to get in the back and messed with his skates, making it harder for him to practice and to perform or the days were getting closer, and faster. But Yun-ha still had questions to ask while Y/N only walked to his cousins car, making sure to never show the car. Let her assume he still needed a driver to come and take him places because he didn't know how to drive, he wasn't about to give out too many details and have his car soon followed.
"Sorry no, I wouldn't have time to drop you off back at the house or place your staying at. Me and Wooyoung still have plans to look at regarding the marriage and we'd like to have that alone."
Y/N saw the corners of her mouth twitched, like she was trying to keep the forced smile but he saw it slowly falter. Meaning this was about to get ugly, nasty and there was no one else in the parking lot to see it and stop it. But Y/N knew this was coming, because she wasn't the first one to do this to her in the family, but she was the meanest and nastiest about it, and she always had actions to follow behind her words. Holding his bag strap, Y/N straighten his posture while he watched the venom slowly start to grow behind her eyes.
"So it's true, you're marrying him? Isn't it just for a business merger? making it official?"
"No, we have to start our own business from limited help. We plan on having more talks about certain tings and need to talk to others about it, making sure everything goes smoothly and planned out for everything."
"So you're not just doing this because? you know, I've always loved him. he's so dreamy and the pictures of him on the ice, he seems so majestic, there's no way he's marrying you and agreeing to it."
She chuckled at the end of her words. Y/N just closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He wanted to respond harshly but he felt a touch on his back, slowly reaching to his side and felt a soft kiss placed on his cheek. A simple action that spoke more words then yelling could've. His arms and shoulders relaxed while Y/N turned to him, smiling just a little out of relief before a fight broke out right next to Yun-ha's car, not wanting to see or handle that for later.
"You did amazing in practice today, Everything fell into place perfectly. Are we still on for a date after everything tonight? Just as a way to calm down from all the serious talk?"
Wooyoung heard the later bits of the conversation, sliding right over into place and using his words to drag Y/N away from this conversation. Seeing from the doors from how tensed Y/N acted and knew something needed to be done, but also wanted to watch how y/n would handle this knowing people were watching, though he wasn't trying to pay much attention to the words because he knew it would make his blood boil, but he can't always be the one who stands up and saves the day. But he can always be the helping hand and shoulder when needed be. He was slowly pulling y/n away, glancing quickly at yun-ha's face, the forced smile trying to be plastered on her face, though it never reached her eyes.
"Oh yeah, thinking another movie night at your place? You have the good ice cream and I haven't been able to go shopping for any."
"I'll have it all handled. All wrapped up here? We still need to talk to the others, and I wanted to drive out to the new house to see how it's going. I think the driveway is done and I wanted to see if you liked the stone they picked out."
"You two have a house being built? Is it in the city?"
Wooyoung finally looked over to Yun-ha, hearing the way her voice tried to sound casual but also interested, but he could tell the way her voice sounded. It sounded like she was planning something, but he knew better then to give out too much detail. But what kept his distracted was when he gave y/n a quick glance and he smiled again, even when he was trying to fake it just to get them out of the situation, something about just seeing him smile made him smile without fail.
"We do, not in the city though but that's for now, we really need to get going before we start getting phone calls. Are you going to change first? Get something to eat or drink?"
"I don't think we have time to change right now but I have a bag, bye Yun-Ha, be safe and tell the others hello for me."
Y/N walked away with Wooyoung, neither of them looking back, well no wooyoung didn't look back, but not by turning his head. But he could see the foot stomp and the car door being flung opened before it slammed shut. It made him laugh while they walked to the cars. y/n looking over at him with a raised eyebrow, wanting to know what was funny to him. Even when they saw the car pulling away and driving past them in a hurry.
"Gonna tell me what's funny?"
"Just watching her throw a fit about it. But do you really wanna stop by my place and have a movie night? You were knocked out after that ice cream."
"Oh 100% yes please, that was amazing and those clothes were so comfortable."
"Then we need to be quick and actually get dinner this time then don't we?"
Wooyoung couldn't help ut smile while Y/N quickly got into his car, waving his arms while wooyoung got into his. They needed to be quick in order to arrive before traffic truly got worse. Driving to the meeting spit the the others i order to go over the business space, what contracts needed to look like, who would be in charge of what and how they needed to act as a team and when they should launch. Or rather what time frame seemed to work best for everyone , but also safe enough.
The two kept driving before arriving, letting their cars be hidden while quickly walking inside, wanting to make sure they didn't keep anyone waiting too long while they left their bags inside their locked cars, keeping the keys in their pockets while wooyoung had his phone already out with his notes ready to share with his friends, who were determined to make this work in everyone's ways and makes sure he had enough notes written down in case anyone forgot something or needed to be reminded, but also just searched into more details before being brought back up without much thought in the future.
Walking around the spaces, the building had floors that needed to e filled with things, but also practice rooms for dancing, maybe some rooms for dorms but those needed to be purchased alone but also just have enough room for everyone, but also taken care of so the trainees didn't have to worry and panic about it while worrying about other things. They still needed a name, still needed a design, they could work together on everything when possible but still, it wasn't going to be that easy with their family help.
But then there was the long drive, in separate cars while wanting to look, it was a long drive from the city but it would also be worth it in the long run. But the sun was setting so they needed to be quick about it, not wanting to drive in the dark knowing that was when the city became more alive. With more people walking around, driving with friends getting ready to o out or driving home to go out and have more fun. It was always busy just trying to drive and someone always ended up getting into a crash in their hurry, something that was always scary but there wasn't much anyone could do other then be safe and be alter, but also making sure the proper people were called just in case.
The driveway was already laid out, the concert dried with some stones and more dirt laid out for the flowers with the circle middle part, the fountain already built but with no running water just yet. The lights were installed yet off, and the house structure was already being built. The basement being dug up to the proper lines with pipes laid out, the blueprints secured while bright orange paint was still shown in the backyard. it was going to look amazing, the stone strong wooden house, soon being able to be brought to life with pint, furniture, and soon the two of them living there just tog et away from the busy city, it was coming together in a way that made them happy.
The more attempts Yun-ha made, the more wooyoung just seemed ready to shoot them all down. He made it a point to counter everything possible, he wasn't about to let her walk all over this just because she was upset about it. No he wanted to make sure she got the point even if it was at the weirdest times possible. After all no one told her to stick her neck out this far and make it seem like she was just the nosy cousin wanting to see how she could help and everyone just get along with it for the sake of peace of the family. He made it a point to try and get to places early before he would walk with Y/N, seeing her car come around like she was waiting for the rare yet opened window to talk to him herself. Yet eh always seemed one step ahead of her.
She would wait outside the Ice ring, seeing the coaches walk in and then she would see Wooyoung's car. This day he just sat there waiting, acting like he didn't see her while she stood there just waiting for him to come out and walk inside. If she could she would've followed him inside but she also didn't need to make some phone calls to her parents explaining why she was in trouble yet again, after all she just got them off her back, she can enjoy a little freedom at the expense of others can't she?
Instead of waiting for him to leave the car. Seeing him distracted on his phone, she started to walk to his car. Head held high with some sweets in her hands, bought from a bakery with what she'd hope he'd enjoy. But there was another car coming that parked close by to him, it made her slow down as she watched him open his door and walk to the other side. She couldn't hear him, but she saw him. And she watched them walk too close to each other, looking at each other rand talking about something she wasn't paying attention to until they looked at her. Saw her holding the sweets in hand and looked both curious and confused about it.
"You're up early Yun-Ha, did you bring those for us? I thought you and my parents had something else to be done today?"
Hearing Y/N's voice made her snap back into reality while he could see the fake smile already plastered on her face as she held them out to wooyoung only. Seeing him raised a brow in confusion while his smile flattered, slowly taking them and looking at the packaging.
"I thought it would be nice if I stopped by early and gave out these, their from the local bakery and mentioned these were really good for morning risers."
"I can share these with the others, we still have that meeting again for a good launch date, mainly when we aren't worried about this. but thank you, we need to get inside."
Wooyoung kissed Y/N's forehead as they picked up the pace. Wooyoung holding the sweets in hand until they made it past the doors, he wanted to throw them away but he could feel her staring still. But he wasn't allowed to bring food on the ice, he could bring his water bottle but he wanted to focus and he already had some snacks planned out. But like he said, he let the staff know about it and kept walking till they got to the locker room, walking to the ring where he let out a loud, annoyed sigh before they made it to the ring itself. Y/N looking at him trying not to laugh at his dramatic gesture but he was able to understand it.
"First she waited till we left now she's waiting till we get there? I don't know what else she wants me to say to her but I'm about to start hurting feelings."
"I mean her watching you kiss me seems to make her die a little inside, maybe that will help sooner or later."
"I did that when she was here last time and she still kept going, good lord I don't even know which sweets she got. I change my bakery's a lot so."
"I mean we can keep driving her crazy, that seems like something fun to do since there seems to be a line she can't exactly cross."
"Makes me wonder if she's on a watch or something. But either way, let's get back to dancing, We have like two days and this is getting serious."
With a roll of his eyes Y/N got to skating. The song playing in the background as they went over all the moves once again, adding little details together and for themselves just to make sure they got it best. Making sure the spin's made impact, the pull sways looked dramatic without trying too hard, the closeness felt real, and the two of them were slowly coming together even when things felt like they were pulling each other apart. Usually they would be there for just a hour or two, but wooyoung wanted to drag it on. Just to see if she would just be standing out there waiting like always just because she got something new. But it also gave him time to test out new things.
If he should lift Y/n during the playing times. If his hands should move to seem more intentional, he watched Y/N try new poses while skating. It made him more excited to see the outfit for the grand day. Instead of just their practice outfits, he wondered how the makeup would look, the hair flowing the ring and wind, and how his eyes would look at him.
"Okay !! You tow seemed to be having a lot more fun then needed and I think wooyoung needs to use the bathroom to handle something."
hearing his coach get louder, it made him stop skating while he looked confused. Looking down and then slowly understanding what was happening. He felt embarrassed, eh was lost in thought and this is what he gets in return? A problem while they were trying to draw out practice. And it wasn't like they could help solve it in the locker room, people were here and there was no keeping quiet like this. He looked at Y/N, who looked flustered but also trying not to laugh. But this wasn't the time or place to make a remark about ti with their coaches listening and they needed to handle this outside. Maybe make a b-line for it towards the cars since this place does have cameras that can record everything even if no one wants to see it actually happening and they didn't want to get banned for something just because of it, that would look horrible on their records and there was no way they were going to risk that just because one of them got a little too excited about something.
Y/N didn't say anything, just signaled with his eyes while skating to the sitting area, acting like nothing happening while wooyoung's coach could only shake his head. But he too got out of the ring and got his shoes on, besides his hands were feeling cold and he knew he needed to get warm before he started to sneeze. So he made sure he had his car keys while he walked out behind Y/N, cleaning his throat just a little while scanning the parking lot. No white car waiting for them, no eyes peaking, but he felt someone hold his hand, he was ready to smack them away till he saw who it was. Y/N dragging him to his car, looking nervous but also excited to try something.
Wooyoung looked intrigued about it but also wanted to see what they had planned. He knew if he just stayed cold he could made it go away and still handle his own problems and continue with the day. He had a raised eyebrow while he got inside the car, making sure his windows were rolled up this time so no one could see unless they got close enough, but they also were parked very far just so no one could see them unless they were looking for the on purpose. And maybe picking different car this time helped him out but he wasn't getting hopeful just yet, but he was getting curious about this. Seeing Y/N walk to the side of the car and getting in on the passenger side, closing the door as he closed the driver side and just watched Y/N chuckle some before looking at him.
"Got excited that easily? You kept looking at me like you wanted to eat me on the ice."
"I was just lost in thought is all, there's nothing wrong with that now is there?"
he watched Y/N's hand slowly trail up his thigh, he wasn't about to stop it, say no but he wanted to see if Y/N was bold enough to take the chance. He let a smirk show on his face before letting out a sound. But sometime was wrong about this.
Y/N sat up on his bed, rubbing his eyes some while hearing the weird noises next to him, he though something was wrong or that wooyoung hurt his foot. They were busy that day, skating for almost 4 hours in total just making sure everything was perfect and he knew they would do it again. But they would also have to get their outfits and be ready, but they went to wooyoung's house, after talking with their friends more and dealing with the lady of the house who couldn't seem to take a hint before finally getting home and just relaxing on his bed, rain sounds playing while the pair stayed asleep. But Y/N was seeing something.
Wooyoung was having wet dream, his eyes were closed ad he kept squirming some, letting out quiet moans as his head moved. At first Y/N thought he was just hearing things, or maybe he was having a nightmare. but the moans of his own name made it clear. He wasn't hurt, but he was enjoying himself in a dream, Y/N covered his mouth as he realized it. Trying not to laugh while still wearing wooyoung's hoodie just watching him. He laid back against the headboard, trying to calm himself while he heard the quiet and muffled moans coming from the man next to him. It got him excited slowly, the dark room made it even better. It almost made him wonder, would wooyoung notice anything or just think it was all part of the dream? Even as they laid there, wooyoung squirming some allowing the sheets to nearly fall off the bed but Y/N slowly fixed things. Wooyoung didn't wear tight pants, but they were easy to slowly pull down.
Revealing his cock, it nearly bounced with excitement, the air making him shiver, y/n stayed right there. Making sure he was still asleep before slowly licking the base up to the tip. Trying to place his hand somewhere before slowly sucking on the tip. Swirling his tongue around the tip and hearing wooyoung gasp. He woke up but the room was dark, the moonlight was slowly showing form the windows as his hands tried to find the source of what was happening. They felt the soft hair, and the head slowly moving faster while more of his cock slowly disappeared. Y/N didn't make any loud sounds, just took his own time while slowly bobbing his head up and down. His eyes closed while he felt the touch of wooyoung's hands in his hair.
At first wooyoung was confused, wanting to pull the head off before his mind caught up with him. It was his boyfriend, just laying at the end of the bed just slowly moving is head, no need to rush anything and just stayed there like nothing else was important or mattered right now and to them, nothing truly did. Wooyoung's sounds weren't loud, more like shaky exhales and groans. His head leaning against the headboard with his eyes fluttered closed, biting his bottom lip while he tried to stay still. Letting Y/N take the charge about this and not wanting to scare him.
But with each deep breathe he would let out a shudder breathe of his lovers name. His eyes trying to find them but the room was dark, but they could feel each others eyes and that's all they needed. By the time wooyoung felt close enough, but not wanting to say much of anything. He just let his breathing do all the talking, letting it get faster while he laid there getting more stiff. His grip on y/N's hair getting tighter before just making his head stay still. His body coiling forward while his legs nearly shook while he heard the soft gagging. he slowly let go slowly, hearing the gasp of his lover before feeling them getting closer. Laying on top of him while hearing a soft giggle. this time he knew he wasn't dreaming, and that made it even better.
"I hope you know, you're not kissing me with my cum in your mouth right now, we still have things to do and I can't do anything like I want to."
All Y/N could do was let out a laugh at it.
Trying to skate around for fun and one judge is one thing, but trying to perform in front of other people is another. Getting together to see everything, seeing the other duo's, wooyoung was looking at the ice because he was more too focused on them. He was drifting in and out of focus while wondering when it will finally be his turn to go. They have to go in at other entrances, making it feel more emersed into their own story told silently. Yet his foot kept tapping against the floor while he kept trying to listen and focus. This was new for him, but his mind was everywhere before he could even focus on the most important thing. But this was the push he needed, yet soon he needed to put away his own thoughts and think.
Standing up, he slowly walked towards the little gate, yet he stood there, slowly inhaling and exhaling before having to put on the face others many knew well and would feel freeze their eyes each time he stared into them. Staring at the ice before pushing himself onto the ice while the music began to play in his ears. His white, custom made suit, feathers on his shoulder, diamond's making the shape of ice slowly dripping from his heart, the outward feathers on his sleeves, making them feel more free, something he took to heart from Y/N. Turning around slowly, before he turned his head to see Y/N skating out onto the ice. Looking more free, smiling like the part needed him to be. Wooyoung had to remember what he needed to do, tilting his head to look confused and wanting to understand who this person was, the arms looking like he was moving around darkness to slowly and getting more excited with each movement/ Wooyoung kept looking, staring at him like he was always in love, seeing the darkness and welcoming it/ Twirling around Y/N like ice storm yet in a protective manner. People got to watch this play out in front of them, the pick ups, the turns somehow just felt natural and how everything else came afterwards. The pickups in the air, the smiles on their faces, the way they always looked back at each other. Then it got the the dangerous part, where it looked like Y/N was being pulled away.
Wooyoung reaching out, trying to reach and get closer. Trying to grab onto the one person who saw him yet they were still pulled apart, looking for each other before grabbing each other in the end. Their hands being firmed gripped before they bowed, leaving the ring with smiles on their faces while they sat down while the judges went over the results. They would be given out towards the end and sitting there together felt better. Wooyoung was looking out into the crowd while trying to move his feet around before he gets too cold, but they saw the same face who's been showing up lately. Yun-Ha, sitting on the opposite side and just seemed to be zoned out while looking at the ice.
Her Jaw was tight, her arms were holding herself with the white coat making her stick out like a sore thumb. Even when she slowly came back and looked for the two of them, she saw them looking back at each other. Talking about their show hoping they looked great. Probably talking about things they improvised, well Wooyoung made sure he still got all his steps in, but he had a feeling that Y/N was wither too into the song and dance but also just making sure it all flowed together. And it did, it looked amazing but they still needed to wait for the scores and places before they could leave. They wanted to go out and celebrate either way, just because they could even if they didn't end up getting first place.
Soon they were all called, their attentions all looking at the ice and slowly got in, hearing their duo names and placing, skating around with the flower prizes in hand and the medals each of them got. If they got to the top 3 if they got that lucky. Since this was still so close , at least how the others viewed it because all of them did amazing and wanted to keep talking about it, but they know that things needed to be done. Some needed to travel back to their home towns and get back on track or just take a break and try out other things. But what surprised the two of them was that they heard they got first place. Although for Wooyoung, he wasn't that surprised, he knew they would get there and he was just happy to see that Y/N was happy about it. Dragging him to the ring, collecting their flowers, their rewards and a check hidden in each bouquet of flowers.
Their outfits looking like someone was attending a wedding with two brides. Holding hands while they slowly left and went back to their seats, sitting through the rest of the announcements and making sure everyone knew information for other events, making sure everyone knew to ask their coaches about each event and focus on which themes, if some were duo's again, solo rings, and making sure everything was planned out before hand and making sure that life was handled. If sign ups weren't for a while but it was clear, their were more chances out there to shine despite everything else happening in their lives happening.
"We should definitely go out and grab some dinner, we earned it>"
"And where exactly did you plan on having said dinner, hm? If we went out like this we'd be stopped just about everywhere before we could even enjoy our food."
"I'm thinking that new seafood place with those windows, the tinted ones that make it hard to see inside? We can get that upper floor room I'm pretty sure, I've been dying to have some crab lately."
"Why not see if they have take out? I rather stay home since we practically stayed up for the last two days making sure we had things ready. I rather take a nice shower, get the bed or wherever you want to be and we can be as loud as we want to be."
Y/N tapped his chin, wooyoung getting inside the car, pressing the start button and getting ready to head back home and not leave for the rest of the night, maybe even in the week. But at the end of the day, why keep walking and leave when you could just stay home and enjoy the place? Even though Y/N did want to see another view somewhere, he knew that wooyoung was right so he did just that. Grabbed his phone from his bag and started to look at their options. Since some people don't feel like going inside and sitting, waiting for too long or at all sometimes, and eating and then waving down the waiter to pay for it.
"I almost said no until I added your name and suddenly it showed up."
"Must be something my parents have, but then again I'm not complain about it this time and just wanting to enjoy some lobster, can you see if they have anything sweet? Make it even better and just enjoy ourselves in front of the bed? We're not eating this in my bed, that smell will stay in my sheets for weeks even when their washed for a long time."
Y/N found that just a little funny, chuckling some as they finished placing the order, finding something sweet on the menu and watched Wooyoung hold up his card without even looking for it for too long. Seeing the timer, the person coming to deliver it and asking where they need to deliver this or who to give it to. They placed the address, and the concierge waiting by the door to ring it up for them.
"See, now we can shower and wear whatever we want and be as loud as we want."
"You know what, that's so much better honestly. Think we can watch that final season we've been putting off? Set up the couch and just have a fun time?"
"Oh of course, that'll be even better, just know whatever blanket we use is going to be washed at least like.. 3 times to make sure the smell of seafood isn't stuck in a favorite blanket."
"Yes yes, I will now can we please get home. I this si actually tightening my sides and I want to be free."
Wooyoung simply chuckled as he got inside of the parking garage, knowing the food would be here soon and told the concierge about the food order, and to bring it up and to tip the driver if possible, just to be sure and to be polite enough when they could be. The keys and flowers were left with the other worked, being asked to take care of them, find any vases around with some flower food and the best place to store them before it got too cold. Maybe they could grow some more flowers sooner or later, just to have some fun with them and watch things slowly come together, just to be happy with themselves and knowing that things were slowly blooming, just like they were. Holding hands inside of the long elevator ride back inside of their home, they talked about some more movies, maybe about the house, they wanted to see how the structure was coming along, things were done for them to move in and get things more planned out then hey thought, since the workers seem to be on a roll and excited to work on something made from scratch before things got harder, like the weather and the tome change.
"Go pick the movie, you get to shower first."
Wooyoung started, but Y/N pulled wooyoung into the shower with him, chuckling slightly at the confused look on his face, but he didn't pull away from the warm hold, the curious look on his face, his arched eyebrow just sitting there, watching Y/N Pull him into the bathroom with a smirk on his face before slowly closing the door/ He wanted another kiss, just something to drive wooyoung crazy a little bit longer, make it harder to sit there and enjoy the movie even just a little, before the food got here and suddenly got too cold to really eat and enjoy. But that was just his thoughts on the matter. Nothing much else.
"You have that teasing look on your face like you want to suck me off again, before the food will get here? it shouldn't be that long, given that you put my name on the order."
Leaning against the door, Y/N got closer and rubbed his chest, holding the folded edges of his shirt while looking up at wooyoung, giving him that innocent face he loved to look at when he knew he was being teased for something, it made him smirk even if he didn't want to show it yes. Just because he could is all. Watching the smile show on Y/N face, but eh made sure to keep himself controlled, he didn't want to hear they sound of the doorbell just as they were getting started and had to sit there eating the food, just wanting to dive right back into each other before the night and making yet another mess. Something they all seemed to enjoy at this point."
"I can't tease my Fiance after all the hard work we've put into this? All those long days planning and nights I wanted to strangle you before just falling asleep because of that smile of yours?"
"Awe, little y/n wanted to kill me because I drove him insane, I feel scared for my own life. Oh what are you going to do to me before the food gets here, oh the endless wonders."
Y/N couldn't help but chuckle at his words, helping him carefully take off his suit, knowing the diamonds could scratch or fall off and these clothes needed to be carefully taken off, even with the feathers. The shower already running at the perfect temperature for the two of them to stay under the water, letting their hands roam around while they wash each other off before the food got here. Just standing there under the warm water, their clothes on the hangers they came from, knowing they would need to go to a special dry cleaning service and back inside their special closets until they needed to get ready for another set, which knowing them, would be soon unless things started to get more complicated.
"You know, I like having to look up at you sometimes like this. Hair sticking to your forehead under the shower water, and your famous smirk you always show when you secretly like something."
His hands started to roam around Y/N's sides, a slow yet subtle reminders before softly softly gripping his butt, his smirk showing fully on his face despite the hair hiding little bits of his eyes. His lips getting closer to Y/N's smiling lips like a tease, just hovering over them to the point he could feel his breathe right there. He pulled them closer, if that was even possible, leaving no room for space other then the two of them under the shower head. Their lips finally connecting to each other while their hands tried to pull them closer to each other, the steam hiding the mirror from outside the curtain. Trying to be careful and making sure neither of them could slip in the water.
Y/N's hands going up to grip some of wooyoung's hair, standing there and listening to his groans with a soft yet deep chuckle inside of him. His hands trying to pull him closer even if it was impossible, that didn't matter to him. He wanted to keep Y/N pinned against the wall, his lips slowly pulling away and coming back for more, like it was an addicting drink that was slowly killing them from the inside. Finally pulling away before trailing the kisses down to his neck, sucking on the collarbone while he loved the feeling of Y/N's hands roaming his hair, trying to pull him closer with the wet water making them more slippery.
He enjoyed it, the feeling the hair tug, the small nails digging into his sides and he was enjoying it, not wanting to pull away or end it in the slightest. The towels being forgotten about, the bar of soaps picked out for just any other showers.
But the door bell made them pull away, he groaned knowing what it was. Although it was quicker then he thought and he was happy, they could get some food and then make out again. What was stopping them from doing that with each other? Grabbing their towels and washing each other off, knowing they needed to go but also taking their time. Since no one else could take the food and there was no one else even here, just standing there and nearly getting cold if they went the way they were. Slowly getting out and drying their hair, Y/N tying the robe around himself as he left with water slightly dripping to get t he food, grabbing the big bag, closing the door and setting the bag on the living room table. Carefully pulling things out and setting them on the table. Walking to the kitchen and grabbing some cups, filling them with ice and walking over to the table yet again and setting things out there. Softly humming the entire time as wooyoung use the hairdryer to dry his hair, even if it was going to get messy and wet all over again.
"Your turn with the hair dryer, I don't need you getting sick and trying to throw a pillow at me."
"Awe, you knew how it was gonna go? I thought I was being slick."
"Uh huh, go I'll get the plates and actually more the table, we can expand this and actually enjoy it unless you're trying to get something more from me, hmm?"
Y/N laughed while drying their hair, wooyoung make sure the table was all set, with more space so nothing gets knocked to the side. Getting the movie ready, the blankets ready along with a lot of more napkins, and the gloves from inside the bag and some sauce. Seeing them walk back with the white robe, walking back to the couch and finally sit down, opening the bags and starting to wat while the movie was playing on the large TV. They were closer together, more comfortable and more relaxed while they watch the movie, trying to keep the mess to the minimum and make sure things could easily be cleaned up. Using the bag as a little trashcan with the windows opened so clean air to help fly through inside.
Wooyoung got done first, knowing the movie was nearly over he helped cleaned up most of the mess but let Y/N keep eating. Brushing his teeth longer then needed, treating this like a date and knowing there would be another silent video playing the background of the TV in his bedroom. He walked over slowly, having some more drinks ready while getting the TV ready, he wanted to be ahead. Making sure that he missed nothing and made sure he was able to get i all done before anything else could happen. He could see the smile on Y/NN's face knowing he came right back and helped clean up the mess. Kissing his cheek while watching Y/N walk into the bathroom and brushing their teeth, knowing wooyoung wasn't going to wait for that.
The two held each other by the end of the night, laying in the bed with the robes still on that were slowly becoming lose. The ties were lose and gone, allowing more of his bare body to show under the TV light while messing with y/n's sides trying to get him closer, the hickies he left were showing. And Y/N let the robe slowly slip off at the two looked at each other, barely paying attention to the show in front of them before finally kissing each other again. This one more messier and hungry then the one in the shower, their tongues already fighting each other with their hands roaming and trying to pull off the robes and just leaving them somewhere on the bed or even the floor. Y/N stayed on top of him, his hair falling in front of his eyes his hips grinding down on his cock while wooyoung's hands roamed all over his body. His chest, his sides, his lower back and the back of his thighs.
Y/N only finally pulling away just so to suck on wooyoung's shoulders and neck. Hearing the vibrations of wooyoung's low groans right on his lips, just to go lower to his chest, his hips doing the same movement t, slowing down the next just to watch him slowly lose his mind. Keeping him down just to tease him, watching wooyoung slowly lose his mind while he tried to keep himself looking calmed and controlled of the situation, yet he still had a slight smirk on his face. Watching the look in his eyes slowly becoming more feral while he watched.His hands twitching some before resting back on his favorite spot, back on Y/N's side before flipping them over, he wanted to take more control, to ravish after months of holding back and being teased from the ring to his dreams. But he had to look calm and controlled like nothing was happening instead of just acting on it.
His lips got attached to his shoulders eye again, sucking a little harsher, making sure the marks would stay and show whenever they went outside just for others to see that this was real. Wooyoung let out low groans, his hands roaming and squeezing Y/N's thighs and keeping them open, leaving them wrapped around his waist just to grind against him. Wooyoung's hands leaving hand prints when he could. Wanting to shake the bed frame and make sure those down on the lower floors walking by could hear them, even if it was more of a stretch knowing that it wouldn't work. He didn't want to wait either. He leaned up to his lovers ears, one hand on the bed the other still on Y/N's side, seeing the look in Y/N's eyes with the hair messy, and the looking in his eyes.
"I want to devour you, every moan, every scream of my name. I want to hear it all, can you give me that?"
"Then earn it wooyoung, earn it."
The smirk on his face felt like a predator, devouring Y/N in a kiss to help ease the pain of him pushing his cock inside, feeling the way his body shook under him. The way his moans and cries were drowned out while wooyoung moved slowly till every inch of him was buried inside. Getting used to the tight feeling, the way he was angled and how he needed to wait till things were okay. He just wanted to enjoy the sounds, the way his body kept twitching but the way he was also being able to enjoy it. Slowly pulling away and watched Y/N laying there, his eyes stilled closed with his mouth parted opened while squirming some, getting used to and slowly opened his eyes more. Looking at wooyoung's face, being thankful for the TV light adding more shadows to his face, making Y/N want to smile and some more things that would've made him chuckle.
"Move."
The only word he needed to hear, he kept it slow and controlled at first, keeping his eyes locked on Y/N's expression he saw the comfort slowly showing more, but he also heard the whines. He knew what that meant and he couldn't wait to let it go like unclipping a leash, knowing there was no moving from this bed anytime soon tomorrow, maybe even later in the day, or week if that was it. The way he positioned himself and started to get faster. He watched Y/N's face slowly let lose, the smile on his face showing more and the way he sat up some, his head leaning back before pushing his head back down. He wanted to see Wooyoung do the work, his other hand reaching up to his back and scratching him, he couldn't wait for this. The bed was shaking some, the way he was going faster, shaking some while the mattress made some noises like it was being rubbed against the metal platform under it.
Y/N's broken name chant, lifting up a leg as wooyoung had moved him there on Y/N's side, as he held up his leg. Watching Wooyoung bite his bottom lip, letting out grunts while he let the sound of Y/N losing his mind fill the room. Watching the way his body was trying to squirm, hitting the bed some while he felt the knot getting tighter and tighter, nearly there and about to burst and he wanted the mess, he wanted to shake and shiver under and burn into his mind. Wooyoung couldn't look away, the way he kept shaking, the sweat having the hair sticking to his body. The way his eyes kept twitching while his hand kept gripping and hitting the bed there he was, letting his hips were getting sloppier with each movement and slowly going insane, something he couldn't wait for. He watched Y/N look down at his hips and back at him, trying to rock his hips with wooyoung's before the both them released. Y/N back arched up while wooyoung closed one eye, shaking some as he felt the little trickle come back out with the broken sobs, the tears falling down his face while panting. Wooyoung loved the sight, it was burned into his mind and something no one else could ever see, it made him smile.
He knew he needed to get him cleaned up, seeing the way his eyes were fluttering closed while wooyoung smiled at the sight. Slowly and very carefully pulling out, grabbing a towel to clean up the best on Y/n's thighs and stomach. Carefully removing the robes and dropping them down the laundry shoot inside his bathroom. Softly humming while he turned the sleeping music up on the TV before holding Y/N close, this is where he was happy to be. Soon he couldn't wait to move into that house together and be so happy about it.
"Are you sure we should get this one? This is yours too we can pick things together and make it more careful."
"I picked the room colors, please don't be shy get something that feels comfortable and the workers will help."
Wooyoung had kissed Y/N's cheek, smiling softly as he watched Y/N slowly sit down the arm chair, letting out a relaxed sigh while rubbing his belly. Closing his eyes some while wooyoung just watched and smile. This was nearly two years later, Y/N ended up getting pregnant while the house was done, the base had 4 bedrooms, the master bedroom being big enough to where they could have the crib and whatnot, Wooyoung already had things baby proofed and had most of his friends helping set up the house, well more so getting things he's not looking for but also trying not to get stressed about, things that were actually good not just because of the price tag but because it would actually help them.
"I like this chair, does it come with the foot rest? Can we put this in our room too?"
"We can, I'll have them draw up the total at the front okay? DO you want to keep looking around? See anything else in here? We didn't get to look at the cribs yet."
"Can we? I mean I'll cry but can we look at them?"
Wooyoung helped Y/N get out of the chair, staying behind him and kept his hands under the baby bump. Smiling as they walked to the cribs and he let Y/N look around and felt them. Some workers walking to the front and getting things inside of the moving truck that would be sent to their house, wooyoung was already ahead with the paying, he had some helpers outside and knew this would be amazing, they still needed a name. They didn't know the gender, they wanted to wait till the birth and for Wooyoung to see and hold his child knowing it was everything he couldn't wait and wouldn't risk for anything.
he watched Y/N walk around and tried to pick one, asking the worker questions while slowly pulling up the slide front, wanting to test it and make sure that they couldn't just slip because of some pressure, wanting to make sure if it needed to be tighter that they could.
The room was painted a mixture of soft blues and purples, like it was being mixed together with the colors, the nursery was ready, but they still had most of the baby things, but the clothes were the fun part. They allowed their friends and few family members to pick out some and which ever gender they didn't get they would donate the rest of the clothes.. Hoping it would go to another mother and family in need.Wooyoung was working as hard as he could, but also trying his hardest to be present, since the idol building he had was finished and he was trying to schedule around the debuts and training with the members. he had his friends help, just like they planned on it but he was still trying to think and plan on it, but whenever Y/N would look at him, his baggy clothes and that baby bump showing, his mind would stop and everything else seemed to stop around him. Being there and present was more important then not being there.
"This one, It's perfect and look at the color and design. It's beautiful."
And jut like that they had another piece inside of their moving truck, Wooyoung helping Y/N walk when he could and being right there, helping them get inside of the car and making sure things were just right as he could get it. He stopped at Y/N's favorite places and got him some of his favorite things but while also making sure he had some protein in there. Driving back to their house that was finished with the truck behind them, and his friends standing outside cracking their knuckles with smiles on their faces.
"Oh my gosh wooyoung look at him, he's so happy and looks so ready to sit back down."
"You have no idea hyung, can I please sit with the foot messager thingy? my ankles hurt so and I'm wearing slippers."
"Wooyoung will get your favorite spot ready, now get up there and relax. We have things to handle."
Wooyoung was beaming, his real, bright smile shining as he helped his husband back up the house stairs and into the large living room, the little foot spa still next to the recliner and ready to be used. He made sure Y/N was comfortable before going upstairs to peak and help where he could, he was happy at the sight, the large bedroom now filled with baby items, a lot of diapers and wipes, cribs, chairs, bibs, some bottles, pumps that are easier to use and hold. He was happy, he made sure that everything inside the room was great, but he knew he needed to head back downstairs, checking on his husband downstairs and wanting to make sure he had things right. And when he got in the living room, Seonghwa gave him a blanket and when he moved to the side, he saw Y/N trying to stay awake, he wasn't allowed to sleep on his back, and he needed to change that but he felt so comfortable. Wooyoung knew it was time for bed, and he was happy that he got a little wheelchair to move them around the house when Y/N's feet and ankles hurt too much to walk around.
"I'll cook you something quick to eat, get him to sleep."
"Thank you, hyung."
Wooyoung gave a soft smile as he helped Y/N slightly wake up, shake him a little and getting him n the wheelchair, kissing the top of his forehead and walking to the room, their little bedroom on the first floor since going up the stairs felt like it was too much pain and could make it hard just getting up the stairs. He grabbed the large shirts and helped Y/N get dressed for bed and back inside, keeping him on the side with the pregnancy pillow and heard the relaxed sigh and it made him smile, wiping tears he didn't realize were falling yet.
But the screams were loud, He was right there holding Y/N's hand while kissing his cheeks, whispering soft praises in his ear while he listened to Y/N scream while pushing with all his strength. Not being able to hear much besides wooyoung but he was trying. He took one more breathe and he gave the strongest push he could manage, letting out a loud cry while trying to look over, the cries came ea little later. But the baby was sage. The nurses were making sure the baby was clean and wrapped, getting his shots as well to be safe while woyoung kept kissing Y/N's forehead. They were both crying at the sight, wooyoung happy while one of the nurses came over with the baby in hand, the other holding the scissors. He knew the question, his hands were shaking while he cut the cord. But he wanted Y/N to hold the baby, their baby girl wearing the pink hat.
He watched Y/N cry while holding her close to his chest, a smile on his face while carefully rubbing her back.
"Hello there, Aylin Jung."
Wooyoung got to hold him in the chair, Y/N needed to sleep, after 14 hours in labor, getting into positions and hating the feeling. Aylin Jung was born, and he was sitting there in blankets but shirtless holding his daughter and knew he would always be there, ready to protect her and spoil her, just not rotten, after all, the Jung family is very sassy.

Watching Y/N slowly limp around. Their hair growing longer somehow, but their voice sounded like he as in pain. Chan had to try and stay still. Hyunjin pulling his pants up while holding out his hands with his dark blue flames. Lee Know kept his steady while looking at the floor. Just watching them trying to come back but also looking lost. The burns were healing, but also coming back. It was like watching him trying to split from himself but also stay glued together. Chan didn't say much, he just stayed focused while making sure they weren't missing anything. The Fire was getting darker, but there was a light hue surrounding it. Furrowing his brows and trying to keep his hands steady, he knew if he messed this up somehow the impact would knocked them all out, or at least have them on the floor actually feeling weak in their own home, something they try to make sure no one could ever see.
"Hyung, this seems too strong for that. It's being absorbed, it's going to blow back. All three flames are being absorbed into him and we need to get ready for a blow back."
Chan could only make an angry face while grabbing the two of them. Using his black feathered wings to shield them from the white flames, and the dark blue and black flames circling around. The windows shattered from impact, the garden being shaken and the torture chambers could even feel them. Just feeling the shaking while hearing the loud screaming before Y/N just laid there. Chan's wings slightly glowed, but they burned slightly as well, letting his wings slowly move back so they could check on Y/N. They stayed still, laying there and seemed to be stable. Their eyes slowly going back to normal while slowly closing, their chest rise and fell like they were sleeping. Chan walked over slowly, Lee know behind him carefully and Hyunjin swaying his tail as he slowly got closer. Felix ran up the stairs, nearly flying through the hall and opened the door. Despite the door slamming open, they were still asleep while the windows slowly closed back. The glass shards flying back up in place, like nothing even happened.
"What the hell was that?!"
He ran over, making sure Y/N was actually asleep, watching their hair shrink back to normal while they curled up to sleep on the floor. everyone slowly relaxed but it was still worrying. Chan looked more concerned, even though his face didn't say much, his face stayed neutral, but the look in his eyes. This wasn't just a normal human they turned into a demon, this was something else. Have they always had their angel side and no one knew about it? given how they acted before there was no way they knew, but there was something else they had to know, but this also made him curious. Hyunjin still looked worried, he was still hungry, but he was happy to see that Y/N was still okay. At least from what they can tell and see for now. But Felix was still more worried about everything since he could see the slowly fading marks on hyunjin's body, so he knew that there was something else that happened and no one was telling him the answer.
So he asked again when he knew everyone was listening more, bringing them back to reality while Hyunjin let out a soft sigh before explaining everything. Soobin attacking, the sudden fire, his words, the shock and reaction. The threat of Angels getting involved. Chan was there, he heard those words, and everything was slowly coming into place. but even then, he seemed to be acting alone so it was clear that Soobin was trying to hide something or was trying to keep things hidden for someone else to take their husband and go back to heaven. Which would make no sense for them but there was hardly ever any sense when Chan really thought about it. So he knew that he needed to start his own research, before the others but he also knew that there was no way for any of them to know until that day.
Felix could only nod his head, he kept checking Y/N's head to see if he could feel anything. But he felt nothing, just Y/N being confused but trying to understand whatever was going on. Maybe a bath in the hot springs can help. listening to the sounds of screams to become background noises.
"They can't be down here for much longer. Their body might need a reset. Felix and Hyunjin can take them home, if anyone wants to go with them they can, just be careful please. No chaos, I don't know if any angels are going to be watching closely."
"I'll bring Changbin with us, maybe I.N. too just to have an extra pair of eyes."
Chan only nodded towards Felix words. But he was going to stay, along with the others, Lee know knew something was going to be planned, something would work in his favor. Trying to get closer felt almost impossible. But he knew things were doing to only get more chaotic until they could get better. Would they get better? And if they could then for how long? But Lee know stayed quiet and waited till everyone was gone, or at least those who wanted to go. Taking what they could and they can handle and figure out the rest when they get there. They just need to take things slow and steady and keep an eye out, leave when they can and avoid causing fights unless pushed. Something Changbin always wishes could happen and he can fight the way he wants to.
"We'll report back when Y/N goes to sleep or we're all back inside, don't stay up working for too long, that'll make you more paranoid."
Chan only raised a brow slightly, his way of saying he hears them and will keep their words in mind, now will he listen to those words? Depends on how close he is and where he can go with it. He stayed there and watched Felix, Hyunjin, Changbin, and I.N. all leave with Y/N, vanishing since leaving through the long way was their least favorite part. And Y/N didn't have a bathtub full of blood in his home and wasn't ready for that step yet, so vanishing and appearing seemed to be one of the best options for now. Something that everyone knew Chan always did because he got to smirk seeing their confused face while trying to get up with that metallic taste. He watched them leave, his hands staying behind his back while he waited till he knew there was no coming back. He walked out of the room, slightly destroyed still but the windows were still fixed, but the floor still had the fresh prints. He didn't go to his room, he made sure to only have things that relax him in there, right now he needed to go downstairs.
His foots echoed through the empty hallways while he just stared straight ahead. But hiding behind the pillars keeping the ceiling up high, two demons were following him because they could sense something. Although the sin of wrath seemed to be the leading one, he smelled the anger slowly growing but he kept walking behind him silently. The doors opened but he didn't bother to close them while he twirled his hand around. lighting up the torches and fire to light up the entire room. papers were stacked and laid across every desk he had in there with markers while he sat there just trying to put things together. He wanted to know why, every time they were given someone suddenly an angel suddenly had an issue with it. Most were detailed notes when he's noticed something, sometimes it's about his own members despite knowing they couldn't keep much from him. But right now he was looking back at his notes on Soobin. Slowly Sitting in his chair, his tail curling around his right leg out of a focused habit as he slowly opened the binder. Reading all the old notes from when he first fell and the taunts he would hear, to every bride he took in while slowly collecting other sings to rule hell and bring some kind of order to the chaos under.
He still had papers to write, he new his pen was waiting for him right in front of him, he just wanted to write and make sure he wasn't fully losing his mind and he had things under control. he looked up to grab it, only to see Seungmin standing there, trying not to lean on the papers stuck to the wall but also knowing better then to touch his pen. But he was staring like he was curious, hungry but curious. Something Chan knew was dangerous if he really got to find it, but he knew Seungmin wouldn't try to pull it out fully. That would only end badly for the both of them, mainly him and Chan didn't like using force on them, not when he knows he can handle and control it. But that didn't make it any more surprising to see both him and Lee know just standing there, though lee know was more calculating then nosy. but he didn't want to leave Seungmin alone. Though they knew they shouldn't exactly be back here.
"What are you two doing in here."
"You smell pissed off, I got curious since everyone was huddling around Y/N like he broke something, but I got there too late and I know Lee know-hyung isn't exactly going to tell me why."
He had that same smile, it wasn't fully big yet, but it was almost there. He was enjoying this because he got to smell it, but he was always nosy. What happened up there that he missed? he just got back from watching a torture session and suddenly this is what he misses? Something that would've been better, but he knew there was something behind it, or rather someone and Chan didn't want to tell him it yet so he was just trying to figure out what was happening before he got to tell anyone else that information. yet he stood there just watching Chan set the binder on the desk and start to write carefully, not looking up while his pen begun to move with careful strokes.
"Soobin attacked y/N and Hyunjin technically yesterday. But it triggered something inside of him. He managed to hurt Soobin from what I heard from hyunjin, but when they got back here because hyunjin needed to, they lost control of something a human shouldn't have to worry about. And I'm pretty sure this means Soobin is planning something again, although what and why I don't have the answers to either of those."
"He doesn't like leaving you alone it seems. If heaven is so great according to him, why is he down here messing with us? Doesn't that get him in trouble if he gets caught doing it?"
Lee know only watched the two of them. watching Chan stay focused as his pen moved faster, the words remaining clear on the paper while he flipped from back and forth. Making sure to add his own thoughts and questions that maybe he could answer on different pages but they always lead to the same question everyone had. Why was Soobin going out of his way to mess with them thinking he would be free from the consequences that followed? Any flaws or sins would have him falling and as far as anyone knew, there was no going back to heaven if you fell from the gates. you were left to either become fallen and fade away, or you became a demon after being tortured for what felt like decades with no end unless you could prove yourself useful to a sin. If they didn't need you, thatch where you stayed until there was nothing left to break from you. And in this case it would either be very easy to break him, or very fun to watch him stand firm while every little thing about him broke till his old self was nothing more then a memory.
"I'd like to add something of a thought to this, if that's okay."
"I'm not stopping you from speaking your mind, what would that gain here."
Slowly shifting his weight to stand up, he watched Chan look over quickly before looking back down at the papers. Despite watching Lee know steady himself while Seungmin kept to the side, but he was only slightly closer to him. Leaning in as if he was hearing a whispered secret and he wanted to make sure that he was getting every detail before pulling away.
"I think Soobin is taking all of pour brides to see if he can have one himself. Knowing if he finds the right one, he might be seen as a savior. But the only way for that to happen is if a human falls for him and he's been hiding his grace so the angels can't track for certain periods or find him. Which would explain why he fled when he got hurt, if him attacking hyunjin and Y/N was an order, there would be more to ensure Y./n got away, didn't remember anything and he got to handle hyunjin himself. it would explain why he only comes for the ones we pick. We all agree there's something special about one of them, and he wants to know why and if he can take it. I think after that attack he'll only get more curious and try to get closer. But he'll have to be creative since Y/N knows what he looks and sounds like. And we're always around and can tell when somethings off."
He watched Chan stop writing, just slowly looking over too Lee know like he just solved a puzzle within 30 minutes without any help. But he had an point, this happened every five years they all agreed to pick one, it was safer this way. Someone who could be turned into a demon, no one fighting over anyone, risking someone running away or acting like they know better. It was something they all came up with to stop the endless search and watch it all play out, though it took them a while to come up with rules and times for everyone so no one would feel jealous and try to steal one from each other. it always took a while, but they were able to figure it out and continue on with what they were doing. but there was something special about all of them, and clearly with who they have here. This was something soobin would want to find and see what he could do with it. but that begged another question, why not just look for his own? Why not find an angel who could be arranged to not sin? If he wanted someone, why not just talk?
It made Chan lean back in his Chair while seungmin gave his fake thinking gesture. his hand on his chin with his eyebrows lifted like he was trying to form another thought to ad done, but really he just wanted to hear lee know add more to the conversation. And he almost always had something to add on one way or another.
"I think that's why he always shows up despite us being behind and the angels probably getting worried about the timeline because this would be the last before the clock reset, another wave of death and angels having to guide souls. He wants to see what he's missing that makes all of us agree on one person. Clearly hyunjin picked a good one without knowing, which is our right to and he can't stand it because y/n might've been exactly who he's been looking for. But he would've had more trouble keeping them as an angel because he would have to change them while still trying to keep things interesting, and he'd fail unless he was hanging onto the last hope."
"So what your saying is he's experiencing envy, but that he also found a way to hide it from the watchful eyes and he's basically running an experiment till he finds the perfect result. But doesn't that just make it harder from him? He'd have to show y/n why heaven would be worth it. And with the amount of rules, restrictions, and being watched, he'd fall every time and there would be nothing he could do about it."
"Unless he finds a way to make them forget us and plan false memories for it to seem like the best option. But it's clear that whatever protected and well, fought y/n for control he'd have a hard time because it's clear there's no controlling it. He'd have to fight control over that and there's no telling if he'd like who'd he get after that, and he's chasing that. He might not want them., but the thrill of having something not in his control. And if he can show it to the others, they'd see him as guiding a devil to the light, and he'd be held to a higher regard."
Tapping his pen, Chan pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek. watching how even Seungmin looked surprised but the wheels were slowly turning to make sense. And it wasn't something either of them liked. Because this meant they needed to move up their plans to keep Y/n down here, but that would also make it harder, but would that also remove the experience they could always ear? What was the point of hiding when this could be the thing they needed to expose him to the others. It would make it harder for him to try and switch this around to tell the truth in a different light, which would basically be a lie with very little evidence.
But Lee know knew he wasn't far off, because what other reason could he possibly have messing with them so many times. But he knew that right now that Y/N was safe. Changbin was a heavy hitter that didn't bother with being considerate unless he needed to let one of the others know he was throwing someone that way and they needed to get out of the way unless they wanted to become one with the wall. But he know they were safe, he still had things to figure out and so far these were the only two who had an idea.
"When the others get back, don't tell them about this. Changbin will want to fight and get paranoid, I don't end him ready to lash out and accidentally break something. I need them calm until know for sure and that I have somewhat of a plan that's ready. "
Seungmin could only hum, since the anger was slowly fading away and becoming something he nor Lee know could eat. it was building back up to pride, and they knew it was their time to leave since most of the papers here still contained things about the others they had no idea he even had. He likes having labels on everything and everyone. Though it's getting to the point he will need to expand this, more shelves, all organized for each demon. he watched them leave and the door slowly closed behind them. Going back to his notebook, closing it since this wasn't the one he needed for his planning. He was careful with how he placed things away before grabbing the black leather notebook and sat back down. He needed to get to writing and he needed to make sure everything planned out. He wasn't taking any chances when it came to an angel that always seemed to be held in higher regards.
This was dangerous and they knew it. But they needed to walk around alone, they needed to thinking without knowing they were being watched and followed like a helpless animal needing a protector. They needed to walk around and sort their thoughts out alone with no one else putting thoughts in their head. There's something inside of them, something strong and now there's this angel after them? And for what, curiosity? Greed? Jealousy? Wanting something they can't have or haven't earned through actions? Something was off and nearly every answer felt like the wrong one.
"Something's going on, and it only started when he tried to kill me. But it's never been there before, I've known I've nearly died before, and this has never happened. So what could be different about it this time?"
Rethinking old, buried memories. Trying to find something t hey could've missed, anything that makes sense but just thinking of those thoughts were painful. Feeling stings they haven't felt in years and words they thought they could get over. Even remembering how they died and why they died in the first place didn't seem to help. Because something has always been missing even during those times, an answer no one could or would've given even with screams and cries for help, for answers that never came and reasons that sounded too fake to be true.
The walk seemed to stretch on for hours before Y/N finally came to a stop. Noticing there was no longer any background noise to stable most thoughts with something else to hear. No one talking, no cars driving by, there was just street lights and an empty road. It was unsettling, like there's a warning but there's no noise about said warning coming around. What could one even do about that? Just stand there and wait to hear something? There was no waiting around no matter who was near. So they looked around, slowly, wanting to make sure they didn't miss anything. Their ears seemingly opening up more just to hear the faintest sound because even a pin drop would sound loud. Loud enough to draw attention.
"You were given the others for a reason, walking away from them isn't exactly smart."
Looking up at one of the light poles. Chan was standing right there, his hands in his pockets, but his face still serious like stone. He looked down at Y/N, who just looked up at him confused with a slow blink of confusion. Wanting to say something but what was there to say? At Least not without coming off wrong, but it was clear something needed to be said here, but just what was it? Crossing their arms with a slight sway to their side. They stared at him like all their thoughts and questions just lined up instead of being scattered around like papers that were dropped out of order.
"I needed to think without noise or eyes on me, I'm not that helpless even if I can't use a weapon yet. Besides weren't you still down in hell thinking of something?"
He raised his eyebrow slightly, letting his tongue click before vanishing, only to appear right in front of them. On the ground still having to slightly look down, but the point was still there. He always looked down, if he had to look up at someone, they earned his respect, not because they were taller then him. His head tilted to the side like a curious cat watching their human do something they aren't sure about or when a new toy comes their way. his face stayed the same but his eyes showed thinking, calculating something. maybe his words, his actions or how he should say them.
"I'm always thinking but being the ruler of hell doesn't mean I get to stay there and think about thinks. I have to listen, to watch, and to maintain some form of order with my own demons. That now includes you. You're the queen in waiting and in training, it's our job, especially mine, to make sure you're still safe and learning accordingly."
"Then why did that angel try to stop it by killing me? Well, he went for hyunjin but still. If you have to maintain some form of order why was he there?'
Chan started to rock on his feet before slowly walking around in a circle, his head leaned back while he stared up at the night sky. Almost like he expected someone to look down at him just to come and answer the question, but no one would come, he made sure of that before getting here. At least before someone noticed something was wrong and they had to send someone down there to handle it once gain. But he looked jut as curious if not more. That question always wad to several others, all with answers that never sounded good or fun to begin with or learn on their own. It sucked.
"That has many answers that would confuse you before making sense. You haven't fully learned about those angels, let alone all of hell before even started that."
"That doesn't answer the question, what if he finds the hotel me, Felix and Hyunjin live at? Then what, we have to fight for our own home on the surface too?"
"He couldn't get past the barriers those two have set up. He'd start sweating and his human form would get too sick before making it to the elevator.""
His words came out with chuckle at the end. His eyes scanning around still bit more in like a memory then surveillance. He was slightly, although rare, enjoying himself. Looking at the curious look on Y/N's face, watching the way their eyebrows slightly rose before he let out a sigh, knowing there was no way to get around this question. Not without making Y/N want the answers more and looking for those answers themselves and that might get them hurt more before they could get the answers.
"Now the question is do you want the quick answer or the long answer?"
"The Long answer works. Unless you want me to find out the holes you leave and watch me maybe make things slightly worse for everyone, but I'd have no regrets."
He let out a satisfied hum, liking the answer. But since he didn't want to take the chance and ruin things more, which would've brought more answers then questions later down the road. Something not everyone would have answers that would've been acceptable.
"Soobin is an arch angel, I used to be one but that's a story you don't get to hear yet. But he's been using his trust and position to come down here since unlike most angels, he can maintain a human form without being traced. But he wants you. He's done this with every bride we had before you because he was curious. But he made them into angels and they lost what made him so curious, but he thinks he can outsmart the ones in charge and thinks chaos won't happen either way since Heaven made a deal with me. We keep demons in line, we get a bride in return and they can do their job. but you made him curious, not only are you a man this time, but clearly you have something the others didn't. I don't know what hurt him, but I know that made him more curious ion you, the fact tat you're not a female, or the fact you could hurt him and stand up against him without running away."
"What happens if he did try to take me?"
"Then the deal we had with heaven isn't upheld and we create chaos, which would fill up their gates with people who aren't supposed to be killed but there would be nothing they could do, even if they offered the angel responsible for it. But you're different in a good way for us, bad for him."
Slowly walking around, back and fourth for a while. Y/N slowly took in the information, but making a plan was something. Messy for a while, but it was going to get done/ But talking about it now wasn't smart because there's still things he needs to learn. What else is everyone's abilities and how can that help? What can they use as a weapon, their still technically a young demon with no control of themselves or who knows what else? He has to learn from the demons in front of him and understand everything they can do. Something that most would hate because they want to prove themselves without help, but this isn't something pride can truly help him right now, not when he's staring at the Sin of Pride himself.
"So, when are you guys going to stop treating me like a dying flower and let me fight?"
No one ever talked about how hard Changbin can punch when you tell him to be serious. Not to be treated like a scared person, but someone fighting for their life. But standing there trying to keep up with him was another thing. The way he moved like he had every attack route planned out. There was almost no dodging any attacks without getting hurt in the process. And he would use that to his advantage and there was no getting around that. But Y/N didn't stop, because using a weapon is useless if you can't fight using a weapon. Others are more so trained with weapons then fist, or their legs which tends to hurt more then a punch to the side does. Standing toe to toe with the man himself isn't easy, but it's also helpful because he isn't fighting fair, how most people would fight in his shoes. They would fight dirty to get a win, and not care about the outcome, as long as their on top is all that matters to others trying to fight.
But Lee know was leaning against the wall, giving them tips and wondering if they could hear the tips while focusing. But this was the best he could do, not without taking over the spotlight although the two if them do often spar together. But before stopping, Y/N managed to get a good punch on his jaw. It was enough to make him stumble back while trying to regain his balance while holding his jaw. At first it was shocking. there stood Changbin holding his jaw while slowly looking over to him. He was proud, because despite the pain he can see, they still got to it. Looking proud with a slight smirk on his face. Watching how y/n look slightly surprised, but also proud of himself for at least getting one punch on his face. But they had a long way to go but also needed to get used to eating souls. Another thing the others didn't do with the others when they didn't want to force it since that could ruin their mind and body more then dying and being reborn ever could.
But there was something different about how determined Y/N looked. Even after fighting with changbin. he still needed to eat and human food wasn't cutting it anymore. he had to learn to eat like a demon, fight like demon and basically become a demon. There was no stopping this process once it got past the soul point, something that could very much make it harder for Soobin to get closer without getting caught and getting sloppy. But that was Y/n thinking too far ahead. Although nervous about the taste and feeling, it was this or nothing else and slowly going insane. But also stunting their journey before doing any of this. Lee know held the bag, there was only one soul inside, it wasn't too big, but big enough to feel full and get more energy before diving into anything else. But that didn't stop him form walking over to the panting man. He was standing there just trying to get used to the feeling, but not even bar fights used to get this bad. Even when he strippers and the men were bad but this was horrible.
"This is a older one, it's bland but it will get you used to the texture and will be introduced to taste. You'll get more in time, but if you taste too much you'll become addicted and just eat souls for the thrill. We like having you sane."
Holding the floating soul, the dimly light red of a damned soul. The fact this was still was someone, but it still had some weight to it. He slowly ate it, pushing the entire thing inside his mouth before slowly chewing it somehow had a taste, and a texture to also be chewed but he was right, there was no flavor to it, not much anyways. But he still stood there and let his body shake, letting the feeling get used to his bones while he slowly stopped. His eyes glowed the dim red the soul was before slowly going back to normal. His body slowly got healed, though it wasn't much but the bruises and scratches were gone, a little but not the big ones. But those would be handled with time and maybe the others. Depending on who got there first. Although Felix was already running with green flames before lee know could muster his own, the sin of Envy as he says.
"Does he always fight this hard or was it because I told him don't treat me like a flower?"
"you haven't seen him fight with Lee know or Bang Chan, now those get bad and the reason why there's a field in the front of the house so they can fight."
"Think I can see that happen or is that way too soon?"
"Depends, you want to be proud of your first punch or would you like to realize how far you have to go before getting there first?"
"Fair point I like this moment first."
Changin smiled after that, because he knew it was making them think what else could he possible do the more they fought? he could do anything really but right now he was happy with the hand to hand combat he was getting to try. Since most of everyone was able to keep up with him and he had to give more effort. But he also missed seeing the progress from everyone else, seeing them go from getting overwhelmed by him fighting to being able to keep up with him. But it was clear they still had a long way to go, and now it was lee knows turn to do some teaching. Mainly about the other demons and why every sin was created and why they do sometimes have to work with heaven. How souls get judged and why there's different rings but they all live together most of the time and leave for their own rings sometimes.
despite being tired, being able to sit down and use their hands to write again might actually be more helpful then nothing. And after that they can take a hellfire bath, which will help them get used to the fire and the burning feeling and learn how to use it without burning their fingers. Someone will be there to help them get out so they don't get hurt too easily. But that also comes within time and will happen when it happens. Right now Y/N had to walk, although slow and offered help. they were standing tall and walking behind Lee know with just a little distance. It made Chan smile from the room he was in because he felt that tingle in his spine, not wanting to ask for help and making a statement, not with words but with actions. But no one really knew where he was and would see him later. Since Y/N still had to go to the surface and ensure that he was fully erased from others memories, like the penthouse they stayed in, not remembering what they look like, but now as someone else and any other places they were know to frequent and people would recognized them.
Sitting down on the rather comfortable chair, he liked up to see Lee knows chalkboard, it had some drawings of the demon body as a male, with some details but most of it was coming from the books. He wanted a quiet place to handle this and made sure everyone knew it, even though Felix did have a pout on his face when hearing that but he knew it was for the best. Maybe he could watching changbin fight someone or listen to Hyunjin plan out his plans for tonight since it wouldn't be his time with Y/N right now. And that's okay with him since he is getting hungry.
"We can either start with why heaven and hell rarely work together, or we can talk about why the sins were made."
"Let's start with the Sins, I want to hear your take on it at least."
Crossing his legs as he sat on the large office chair, lee know held his hands together while thinking. He watched Y/N grabbed their pencil and the notebook that was already laid out on their desk and made sure to write down any notes and questions. But he wanted to wait till after Lee Know talked about it and started to explain it, even just a little bit.
"Because you can't always have good things in a paradise, that's just how humans started to evolve, and trying to only have good things makes it stale, boring because after a while everything becomes the same. you never have to worry and that, in my opinion, is annoying. But there has to be something bad in a way to challenge that and reveal what someone would do. Like for example, when you didn't let Felix or changbin carry you even though it's obvious that your legs were tired. It's pride, which in some eyes means you always think your right, you can handle it and there's no need to help you. Or when someone isn't satisfied with everything they have and still want more. Something a lot of humans want because it gets to a point where it's all so boring, where your used to it and the value and meaning of everything you have loses it's value and purpose and you crave something more. Everyone has a little sin, Pride, greed, Envy, gluttony, Lust, wrath and sloth. Although sloth is a part of everyone's lives, because they don't want to get up. Some don't see the point of getting up and would lay somewhere while everyone and everything else changes around them. Sure it happens to everyone, but it also depends on what that person does with it."
"Well if Chan is pride, Felix is Envy, what does that make you?"
"Greed. I always wanted more because I could everything I wanted and I was never satisfied what I had. Though it's rare I almost ever am and that depends on the value and purpose. Before you ask, I still want more from you, but right now you can't give that and I'm not about to rush you. Since it's clear we have other things to worry about. Sometimes I get confused with Felix or Changbin, but there's a difference between the three."
"What is the different between Changbin and Felix?"
"Felix will want something because someone else has it and their happy about it or they love it, he wants that too regardless of what he already has. Changbin is like a bottomless pit, he wants more but Felix wants the attention of everyone, with gluttony it mainly comes from food, not just everyday foods but things people can't afford. Like rich food or like how some kings and queens used to eat when others were wondering when their next meal would be. But they would keep eating. Despite his frame and how h looks, he could keep eating and still look the same, at first he sued to hate it because of people, but he realized what it meant when he died and became the Sin of gluttony, since a lot of people have it, mainly those who filmed themselves eating for views even despite the risk involved. Sure it can be for the money, but it's still consuming food the body can't always handle. But sometimes it doesn't stop them even if they get a heart attack or learn that their heart can't keep up."
"So Did everyone die to become Sins? Well everyone but Chan?"
"In a way yes, though Hyunjin was born for human sexual desire. He was created that way long ago, well, more like decades ago. I was there and so was Chan and Changbin, we smelled someone new and he was there. Sucking the desire out of an entire brothel, though he was naked and was basically a baby. We had to teach him basic things while helping him learn to control his own desires since if he ate too much he'd go into a frenzy, and those differ between the sins and demons."
"What's a Frenzy? Like losing their mind? Is it the same for every Sin or is it different for the rest of you?"
"I'll use Hyunjin as an example. When he goes into a Frenzy it's either because he's starving or he ate way too much. Mainly when he's ate too much. it's like getting high or extremely drunk. He isn't in control of his actions but he wants more. The last time it happened he drained someone to the bone and they died and we had to basically dunk him in hell fire to snap him back. If jeongin did then everyone would fall asleep, and we'd have to fight the urge to sleep just to get to him. He hates his stomach being tickled but waking him up would also be the hard part. If Changbin did so he'd eat everything, even if he isn't supposed to. People, buildings, animals, nature, everything. He hasn't done that yet. Seungmin would burn or make everyone mad over little things, which would make worse and a lot of people will die, most likely along with Felix if he ever did again, everyone would feel extremely jealous, he'd want to take everything if he could that meant a lot to people. No matter what it was or what it looked like, he'd take it all and destroy it so no one else could have it. Me and Chan haven't gone into one yet. Hyunjin used to be at a high risk but he's learning how to hold and not go though his food supply so much."
"How come you or Chan haven't gone into one? Isn't greed and pride one of the most used Sin's in human life? I know at least for me and the people I grew up around it was."
"We have higher limits, because if we didn't then humans would be in danger and we'd create chaos. Greed would take everything and someone would start to become prideful of stealing and taking something while others got angry and killed, which depending on the person and their own hidden desires, they'd enjoy it. If all of us did so together then it would be chaos and heaven and hell would basically have to create humans once again from scratch. Which if we take into consideration of the angel, he probably thinks it's an exaggeration, which will only ruin things for him. But that's for us to know and him to learn the hard way."
"he seems more Arrogant then prideful, I don't date types like him."
"That's for him to learn and for us to learn and figure out what to do, but now back to the demons and Sins. I couldn't care less about what he has planned right now because he can't get down here without burning, there is no loopholes to work in his favor."
Lee know continued to talk and explain things for the next 30 minutes, watching Y/N fill in the pages back and fourth while his pencil stayed moving around. Lee know waiting till he got the Okay to keep talking or if he needed to repeat something. He offered books to read but only in hell, since Soobin could feel the energy since most of it was stronger without training to conceal them. But it would give them information. But Y/N was free to walk around and do whatever they wanted within reason.
"Could I start looking for my own room here? It gets lonely and boring up there when I wait for everyone else to get up there."
"I'd have to ring Chan since that has to go into records. And he is very particular about keeping files, and in order."
"Does he have a whole room of files?"
"So far, about 3 full rooms but almost no one gets in there. Just give me a second and he'll let you pick some from some options."
Knocking 4 times on the chalk board, there was only the faint sound of footsteps walking. Each step got closer till he was right there, his hands in his pockets with a curious look on his face. Until he got the reason for the visit, looking for a room. But that also made him question, which would be a good room for him? Was now really the safe time to get comfortable down here? But he looked into his eyes, the way he looked curious but also ready. Not wanting to be treated like a flower, not like they needed to be protected all the time with someone right there and in his ear to say what he should want or do. But he was making his own way and handling things in his own way and there was nothing most could do to stop him. He didn't want Y/n finding rooms they weren't strong enough to walk into so he gave a nod. He knew there was a room that had a view, but also windows that kept the screams outside and made the others walk around, but there was also a secret room in there, the only person that knew about it was Chan.
"There's a room I think you'd like, it's bare and as you learn. you can create what you want with flames. Though the bed in there isn't the best."
"I'll take it, it'll help me get used to being here, that's really all i need."
Chan did a motion, he walked down the wall and listened to Y/N's footsteps behind him. He kept his hands in his pockets while he walked down the halls, the windows being shut but hearing the faint screams, they weren't getting louder. Chan being used to that and just kept walking, softly humming till he finds the double wooden doors, stepping aside to allow him to get inside.
Looking around at the bare walls, knowing that these walls were soon going to be covered with things about them. Changing the bed and dresser while getting stronger. but right now this was his moment. Looking out the window there was something slowly coming into place, and without anyone knowing, there was smirk growing on his face.
