she gives him a bowl of ramen and tells him to eat, so he does. it's been four days since the incident and jeongin is still starving, but eating will keep him alive long enough until he manages to get back home.jeongin starts his journey to school, it's not easy getting to work on time, but he arrives and he's already greeted by one of his co workers.

"jeongin! good morning!" the man greets him.

"hello hyunjin," jeongin replies in monotone. hyunjin smiles at him reassuringly, he is always trying to make jeongin feel better.

hyunjin's smile falters for half a second, but he quickly recovers. "are you alright? you seem off." he asks, tilting his head curiously.

jeongin shakes his head and tells hyunjin that he's fine. he doesn't want to go into detail about what happened yesterday, not after everything that's happened. he can't help but wonder if the demon is aware of the situation that is happening right now.

hyunjin decides to drop it though, he doesn't seem to push, but it makes jeongin feel guilty anyway. "i hope you feel better soon!" he shouts over his shoulder as he exits the room.

jeongin spends the rest of his shift thinking about the events leading up to the incident.

jeongin thinks about what exactly happened, why would someone do such a thing?

jeongin sighs and pushes those thoughts ahe needs to stop dwelling on the past. it only brings sadness and pain.

Chapter 2

"don't worry, i've been saving your ***, so don't worry about that asshole."

jeongin remembers clearly that conversation with the demon, he had said something along those lines, he was talking about seungmin.

"thank you... hyung," jeongin had replied quietly.

that's when they got called into the main office to discuss about the new employee and the recent increase of deaths.

"hey minnie, how's it going?" one of the other employees asked as jeongin entered the small conference room, the others were gathered around the table with him and seungmin.

seungmin shrugged lightly, he didn't seem happy, "fine, i guess."

jeongin glanced at him from the corner of his eye. the demon's eyes were wide open with a sense of curiosity. he seems almost excited to learn about whatever new job the new employee may bring to the company.

jeongin glances over at the demon, he seemed genuinely interested, which made jeongin feel slightly more confident than he already was. he didn't expect that he'd be hired.

"anyways, today we'll have our newest member come here, he's also a new hire," the manager explains, "way.his name is seungmin, we're having a little meet up with him later to talk about a lot of things.

the meeting continues to go on, they discussed some details that were needed for the upcoming job, but they left him alone to focus on what was going on. seungmin seemed extremely focused on the conversation.

the meeting ended, and he followed behind everyone as they all filed out of the room. he looked up and saw the demon staring at him, he didn't really care at the moment though.

"hey minnie, how was it?" one of the other coworkers asked as they walked out of the room, jeongin looked up at the sound of his name, the demons' eyes met with his, but the demon turned away immediately, and continued to follow behind the group as they walked out of the room.

jeongin was disappointed to see that the demon wasn't paying attention to him anymore, and it saddened him even further. he had tried hard to befriend the demon, but he kept rejecting him.

he sighed and started walking towards the exit, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. he flinched violently, turning around sharply, only to see the demon smiling softly at him again.

jeongin took a step back, the fear inside of him growing tenfold.
