"What brings you lovely motherfuckers here?" Minho nagged, glaring at the two other demons who were sat at the opposite side of the table.

"Didn't you want to tell him something, Felix?" Jeongin reminded him, and Felix's demeanor changed instantly. The grin on his lips vanished as red overtook the green of his iris.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became heavy. Jisung suspected that something was wrong, uneasily gnawing on his lower lip.

"That's right, there's something you need to know," he said seriously. "I've already warned you about that blood mage who was after Jisung, and I need to do it again." His words were followed by a tense silence.

"I sensed faint traces of their magic when I was in the city earlier. They seem to be lingering here. The problem is that I don't know where their current location is. I'm not sure why they would stay in this area for so long, but I think they might be looking for Jisung."

Felix never looked this serious... he joked around a lot and was careless. Him deeming the blood mage as a serious threat made Jisung scared.

"Why is it that you demons are so cautious about a blood mage?" He asked. "What kind of power do they possess?"

"They're worse than most demons even though they are human," Jeongin said grimly. "They gain their power through human sacrifice. It's messed up," he spat, his gaze filled with hate and disgust.

"Some of them can read your mind, others can create the most realistic illusions. They're strong enough to fool even demons," he went on and explained. "Seriously, you don't ever want to meet a blood mage."

"They don't sound very... friendly," Jisung mumbled in worry. This entity could be after him now, and it scared him terribly.

"Stop talking about this," Minho snapped suddenly, making everyone look at him. He stared at the other demons with scarlet eyes. "You're making Jisung uneasy. Either talk about something else or leave!"

"Alright, alright. Calm down," Jeongin said and let out a sigh. "We only wanted to warn you. Just make sure to stay cautious, okay?"

After the demons had left later that evening, Jisung made sure to lock the front door from the inside. He was aware that this would hardly keep a supernatural being out, nonetheless, it helped him calm down.

He had attempted to ignore his fearful thoughts in order to not worry Minho. Unfortunately, this was easier said than done. He ended up sitting in the kitchen, staring at a social media feed on his phone.

He mindlessly clicked through various posts, hoping they would distract him, but they didn't. All he could think of were the demons' ominous words about the blood mage. He didn't want to meet them, fearing that he would lose his life.

He tried to look on the brighter side though... If he ever died, he would go to hell and be together with Minho, right? But, that wasn't the case.

His soul would actually not go to hell nor heaven if he ended up getting killed by the blood mage. Oops. How sad.

Wait. Where's Minho right now? You may ask. It's quite unbelievable but... he's in the living room, playing a PS4 game. Jeez... Seriously? At a time like this? Well, this was apparently his way of suppressing his fear.
