Mini Drama: Devil’s Tears: Diligence

          The next morning, the boys were on their respective rooms. Mingyu, however, was not inside the devil’s mansion. He found himself inside the cave with his master, where they first stayed.

          The reaper was worried with his beloved human upon learning that he’s not with them. He kept searching restlessly with DK. They even searched thoroughly through the small openings available inside the devil’s house, hoping that Mingyu was just somewhere inside the mansion, concealed in a secret room.

Jun, on the other hand, searched with Joshua in other places including the office, and the cursed mountain.

-MANSION-

Seungkwan:

That demon!

Where did he bring Mingyu?

DK:

Seungkwan,

(With his nervous tone)

Is this really happening?

(With a blank daze in the air.)

Is this real?

(He couldn’t believe that what he experienced was real. He thought he was just dreaming.)

Seungkwan:

I am sorry, but these are all real, boy.

DK:

Then, you are real.

Your wings are real?

Seungkwan:

They are.

DK:

Oh God!

What in the world I am in?

(With his confused expression)

Seungkwan:

This is your world, lad.

Don’t be surprised.

The hidden secrets are the ones you have just witnessed.

DK:

How can w-

Seungkwan:

Stay strong.

I need you to be strong, DK.

You can’t run away from this.

Even if you did not go here, demons are all around earth, lurking to trap their victims.

DK:

How can we defeat him?

Seungkwan:

I am not yet sure.

He’s different yesterday.

DK:

Pleas-

(A sudden change of voice and personality came)

Seungkwan. What happened?

(Spoke with a cold, low voice)

Seungkwan:

Seungcheol… where have you been the whole time yesterday?!

DK (Seungcheol):

I can’t go in, Seungkwan.

Tell me everything in detail. I assumed something bad happened because I could feel a foul aura yesterday, and I couldn’t get through in this house. It was somehow sealed with a strong power.

Seungkwan:

Yesterday was really bad.

He’s gone berserk.

…

And, you are right…

(He clasped his knuckles tightly)

That demon have my wings and sickle.

He’s keeping it as his trophy, but I got the scythe with Jun’s help.

DK (Seungcheol):

Is he awake?

Seungkwan:

He’s still weak, but I am afraid he might end up like his father.

DK (Seungcheol):

Not if he would follow my orders.

Seungkwan:

Have you met him?

He knew you?

DK (seungcheol):

We have met many times before.

I guess his demon powers allows him to see me.

Not bad.

…

Then? What else happen?

Seungkwan:

I guess, Wonwoo has Mingyu in his hands.

DK (Seungcheol):

That’s not a good news, buddy.

Seungkwan:

Help me find him.

DK (Seungcheol):

I will.

(Looked at the other reaper intently)

You must get your wings back.

Seungkwan:

I will.

Mingyu is more important now.

-INSIDE THE CAR-

          Jun and Joshua were worried about Mingyu and their master’s whereabouts. But it was noticeable that the weak ones was trembling ever since he woke up.

Joshua was scared of everything and Jun couldn’t help but to worry about him too.

Jun:

Joshua, I am sorry.

Joshua:

Jun…

I remembered everything.

Jun:

I see.

(With a sad tone)

I am sorry.

Joshua:

Please stay with us Jun.

(He pleaded)

I am scared.

(With an almost inaudible sound)

Jun:

I will always stay by your side.

Don’t worry, I will make sure he won’t hurt you again.

We will escape.

Joshua:

We cannot run away.

He’s a demon. He can do whatever he wants.

Jun:

But I can’t let you stay.

Joshua:

I can stay. It’s better than running endlessly.

Jun, he has powers. He’ll keep on finding us if he wants to.

And I think, Mingyu already chose to stay. He’ll need us.

Jun:

Then promise me something…

I need you to be brave for Mingyu, Joshua.

He needs someone to hold him.

Joshua:

And you?

(He was afraid that Jun might disregard himself in order to protect them all)

Jun:

I don’t know, but in any case, we should always be prepared.

And I promise I will protect you.

(Looked at Joshua’s eyes)

Please promise me to stay with him no matter what.

Joshua:

Please don’t let yourself hurt.

Jun:

He’s (Wonwoo) my responsibility.

I will be the one who will lock him down. I will destroy him.

Joshua:

Jun…

(With his worried expression)

Please don’t leave us.

I was wrong before…

It was all a product of fear.

I didn’t mean to-

Jun:

You did nothing wrong, Joshua.

I am the one who hurt you.

Forgive me.

Joshua:

Jun…

(He cried)

I am scared.

Jun:

I am sorry.

(He was sadden)

Joshua:

How can you defeat him?

Jun:

I don’t know yet.

Joshua:

Jun…

(With his worried tone of voice)

Jun:

I will stay with you no matter what.

(He showed his caring smile)

Joshua:

You almost die back there!

(He scolded)

Jun:

(He stepped on the break of his car and p
