A.N.: Small recap:

Pride - S.Coups/Seungcheol
Wrath - Woozi/Jihoon
Greed - Mingyu
Gluttony - Hoshi/Soonyoung
Sloth - Jeonghan
Envy - Seungkwan

For the sake of storytelling, I'll just assume that the demons have some basic knowledge about the modern human world (Mingyu and Seungkwan more than the rest, as it's in their nature to be interested in others' belongings).

 

Rain dripped on Wrath's face and ripped him out of his jumbled dreams rather abruptly. Blinking the haze away, he found himself in a dark and foul-smelling alleyway - clearly in the human realm. Someone groaned beneath him.

"Would you mind moving your fat ?" Envy asked groggily, eyes still closed.

While Wrath climbed to his feet - decidedly ignoring Envy's outstretched hand - he took note of the other dark figures sprawled on the dirty cobblestones. Greed and Pride were already sitting upright while Sloth and Gluttony were still knocked out, clinging to each other.

Or maybe Sloth had simply fallen asleep. He had the habit of sleeping in weird places.

While Greed and Envy were busy shaking the life back into the two demons, Pride walked up to Wrath, slinging an arm around his shoulders. "Now what?" Wrath asked while unsuccessfully trying to get rid of the offending arm.

"Well, we'll have to find the address of the house I was talking about."

After the third attempt, Wrath gave up and decided to accept his fate, ignoring Pride's smug expression. "And how do we do that?"

"Our best bet would be to ask some humans, I guess," replied the elder after a moment of contemplation. His reluctance became obvious in the way his brows knitted together. Asking someone for help was beneath him - but maybe he could bear it as long as it was just getting a few pointers to find the right way.

"So you have no idea where we actually are?" Greed questioned somewhat incredulous from behind while propping up a staggering Gluttony.

Pride scowled and let go of Wrath. "I've been to the human world plenty of times before. I'm basically an expert so we'll be fine. Now shut your trap and let's go." With that order, he turned to lead the way out of the alley.

 

"I'm basically an expert," Envy repeated in a mocking tone. "Great job Mister Human-Expert-Leader. We are now officially completely lost."

After leaving the alley, they had walked around for what felt like hours in the light drizzle that had not stopped falling from the sky. All of them were thoroughly soaked and the mood had hit rock-bottom. The only lead they had was the wet paper on which Pride had scribbled the address in his illegible handwriting. However, after his earlier grand declaration, he had been too stuck up to actually approach a human. Sloth had proposed to take a cab but Greed - the only demon with valuable possessions from the human realm - had strongly refused to spend his gold on something as trivial as transportation.

Wrath felt his eye twitch when Gluttony began to loudly complain about being hungry, cold and wet. He had held himself back all this time, restraining himself from lashing out at the others, but he was close, so, so, so close to bursting. Taking a deep breath, he stopped walking. "This is useless. Give me the damn paper." After snatching it out of Pride's hand, he forced a smile on his face and approached a young human couple waiting at a bus stop.

The other demons looked on from a respectful distance. "Will he be okay?" Gluttony ask

Chapter 16: This fanfic keeps getting me off guarded, I'll tell you that

I don't even know what to think right now. I was kinda startled when Chan appeared in the chapter but when the spotlight moved to Wonwoo I was, "ok, what's going on here"
I mean, from a writer's perspective (myself included, because I am one, too), the most obvious option would be Junhui, and the most surprising one would be Wonwoo, ye
So I'm half surprised it did turn out to be Wonwoo and half already had it coming

But I surely did not see Mingyu finding out about them coming, nor did I expect Jisoo to just throw it all out the window and request for a menáge
I'm just—
