He awoke abruptly when something cold touched his burning forehead. With a tired groan, he tried to push it away, only to have his hand caught halfway by a bigger one.

"Stop trying to take it off; that's the third time already."

Opening his eyes at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, Gluttony squinted at the person holding his hand. "...Seokmin?" he mumbled after racking his brain for a moment.

A bright grin was the response to his wary expression. "Yep, that's me."

"Why are you in my room? What's going on?" Gluttony attempted to move but stopped with a grimace before Seokmin had the chance to reprimand him. "Urgh... everything hurts. This is so much worse than hell," he whined while rubbing his temple.

Seokmin smiled soothingly. "You had quite a high fever but it's gone down a little now. Are you hungry?"

"....not really." The demon's eyes immediately widened. "Oh god, what's happening to me?! Am I dying?!" he cried out in desperation. He had never not been hungry in the span of his whole existence.

"Of course not. It's perfectly normal to not have much of an appetite when you're sick. Seriously, what's wrong with you and your friends? It's like you've never had a cold before." Seokmin shook his head. Gluttony kept quiet. "You should still eat at least a little bit. I saved you some soup at lunch. Come on, sit up."

While slowly sitting up - with a little help from Seokmin - the demon spotted Wrath sleeping on Sloth's bed. "Wait. What's Wra- Jihoon doing here?"

"Oh, he suddenly collapsed during our morning meeting so we brought him here. He might be sick too, you know? We didn't want to risk infecting anyone else by letting him stay in his own room."

 

Meanwhile, the other demons were exploring the miracles of modern technology.

Chan had lent them his tablet and after a short tutorial session, technology-geek Greed was good to go. As soon as the young human had left, he poked the screen a few times to open Google, just like he had learned it from Chan. The other demons were crowding around him, eyeing the flat piece of steel and glass with a healthy amount of distrust. "Okay, what should we search for?"

"How to kill a human?" Pride suggested.

"Sounds good." Eyebrows furrowed in concentration, Greed started typing.

"Oh god, why are there so many pages?" Envy asked warily. "Is it really that easy to die?"

"This one!" Pride pointed at a link that read 'Effective murder weapons (how to hide a body for dummies)'.

"I thought we wanted to look up diseases?" Sloth inquired skeptically.

"Later. That one sounds much more interesting." Pride focused on the freshly loaded page. "Woah, you can kill someone with an icicle. I wonder if Xiumin knows that."

Envy paled. "Aren't there icicles, like, everywhere in winter?"

"Drowning seems to be popular too," Greed pointed out.

Envy swore himself not to use the nice tub he had seen in the bathroom.

"Guys, we're not tryin

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—
