thirty-four

Jisung left the building after the interview finished and Mochi followed him around like a shadow. He strolled around the place, skipping down the path happily like a child.

At one point, Mochi jumped into his arms and let itself be carried around like a baby. "You're my little sunshine," Jisung said to it, ignoring the weird looks he received from the people around him.

His strange behavior soon caught the attention of two people that had been observing him for a while.

They decided to approach Jisung and when they stepped in his way, Jisung looked up and glanced at two attractive men who looked much younger than him.

They were studying him curiously, and Jisung wondered what they wanted. "Can I help you?" He asked and was surprised when Mochi meowed at them.

Realizing that the two men were able to see the cat demon, he almost had a heart attack.

"We were just wondering why a human is walking around the place with a demon, acting like it's a pet," the one with the blond hair color grinned

"It's a rare sight to see... and besides, we sensed a demonic aura coming from you that seemed familiar," he added.

Jisung wasn't sure if he could trust them, but oddly enough, the mark on his wrist didn't ache which meant that they were safe to be around with no matter how strange they acted.

He had begun to trust the warnings of the mark and since he received none, he didn't see a problem with talking to them. "You're demons, aren't you?" He asked.

"Yes," the blond-haired man smiled. "I'm Felix and this is Jeongin."

"I'm Jisung," he introduced himself.

"Do you by any chance know Minho?" Jeongin asked.

"Yes, you could say that..." He answered, unsure if he could tell them about the bond or not.

"Ah, so that's why he hasn't shown himself in hell for quite a long time," Felix said, exchanging an amused glance with the other demon.

"If you want to see him, I can take you to where he is," Jisung suggested since he was convinced that they were not dangerous.

"That would be great," Felix smiled, his happy expression reminding Jisung more of an angel than of a demon.

"Here we are," Jisung said as they stood in front of his house. He unlocked the door, letting the two demons in.

"I have a surprise for you, Minho!" He yelled towards the living room, and it didn't take long for him to answer.

"Oh my, really?" Minho yelled back with sarcasm. "I doubt that you could surprise me, Jisung."

The two demons quietly sneaked in the living room and when they entered, Minho turned to look at them, his eyes widening.

Jisung snorted at the scene. He had never seen Minho so caught off guard before. If he just had his phone with him, he would've taken a picture of Minho's face. It was absolutely hilarious.

"What the fuck?!" Minho sputtered. "Where did you guys come from?"

"Hell," Felix grinned.

"You don't say," he countered, rolling his eyes, but he seemed happy to see them nonetheless. "Come here and sit down, let's talk."

He switched off the tv and made space for them while Jisung lingered at the entrance of the living room, watching the demons in amusement.

"Can I offer you guys something to drink? Like coffee?" He asked.

"That would be great. Thank you," Felix smiled politely, and Jisung went to the kitchen to get the coffee ready, which didn't take too long.

Returning to the living room, he saw the three demons talk animatedly about something, only looking up when he placed the coffee cups on the table. "Thanks," they said, smiling.

"We heard what happened already. You guys are bonded, right?" The blond demon asked, his amusement being too obvious.

"Ah, yes we are."

"Cute! So, when's the wedding?" Felix and Jeongin gushed at the same time, earning themselves a heavy glare from Minho. The sunlight in the living room dimmed for a second.

"You two are just as chaotic as always," he sighed and shook his head. "What drove you guys to leave hell anyways?"

"We just wanted a little change. It's kind of chaotic right now," Felix whined. "Seungmin accidentally set Chan's residence on fire and they've been fighting nonstop for days."

"Again?" Minho laughed. "And let me guess, he got a very long lecture from Chan right after, didn't he?"

"Yeah, of course he did. No one can escape Chan's wrath," Felix answered with a chuckle. And that was apparently the end of their conversation.
