Ryeowook woke up in the middle of the night. A chilly breeze lightly his uncovered arms. Feeling thirsty, he went out from the bed, making sure that he didn’t wake Kyuhyun up, then headed to the kitchen. He shivered as soon as he closed the bedroom’s door behind him. Looking around for the source, he saw that the balcony’s door was open, curtains moving slightly from the wind. Furrowing his brows, Ryeowook went to the balcony to close the door, but halted his movements when he saw a pair of glowing yellow eyes in the dark corner in the living room.

“Who-“ He breathed, scared.

“Long time no see.” That person moved away from the shadow, revealing himself in the grey of the night. Ryeowook gasped seeing that the man before him was no other than Junsu, the man that messed with his life a few years back. “I see you are surprised.” A mischievous smile stretched across Junsu’s face. His eyes glowed yellow while his red hair turned brighter, as he appeared more menacing than ever, or so Ryeowook thought.

“What are you doing here?” Ryeowook asked shocked. He turned around debating if he should call Kyuhyun. He knew that Junsu was a bad man, that man was wicked.

“I wanted to greet you. I’m glad you came back after all.”

“You will know soon…” Junsu smirked, eyes glowing darkly. “He is deeply interested in you. He wants to have you so bad.”

“M-me? Why? I’m nothing special.”

“Incorrect. You are someone who he desires so much. You have something that he wants to…” Junsu cut his words with a scoff.

“What do I have?”

“I can’t tell you even if I knew.”

“Why?”

 “I don’t need to. You’ll find out, on your own, soon enough.”

Junsu’s words confused him, making him wonder about the other’s words. He wanted to know all the answers; who the man was, what he was, what Ryeowook had.

“And Kyuhyun, what does he have to do with it?” Ryeowook wanted to know. They needed some clue to figure something out. Now, they are in the dark and he hated it.

“The angel? Oh him, he doesn’
