Mini Drama: Devil’s Tears:  Bargain

 

The fight was successful. They caught Hoshi’s soul in their very hands, while the others were still sleeping. The last thing reapers had to do was to wipe all those asses from the earth, but they were all weak. Fortunately, the demons were all weak too. They couldn’t do further harm as of the moment.

 

After the reapers got out of that torturing space, all those who were outside ran to them.

 

Mingyu:

Hyungdeul?

(His eyes was directed to Seungkwan)

 

Seungcheol:

(He answered but he forgot that he’s a ghost at the moment, so no one could hear him)

Still inside.

(Then he realized that he’s invisible on human’s eyes by Mingyu’s waiting expression despite being answered already)

Oh great! I’m a ghost.

(He sighed)

 

Joshua:

How are they?

 

Seungkwan:

Fine as ever.

Tsk!

(Looked at their red and obviously irritated skin)

These stings.

 

Seungcheol:

Bet you’re right. Mine stings a lot.

I hope we cannot get more punishment than being a reaper with what we did.

 

Seungkwan:

Aigoo~ I’m scared.

(He sighed)

 

Seungcheol:

(He sighed)

I agree.

 

DK:

(Blinked his eyes because he could see no one beside Seungkwan… then who was he talking too?)

Seungkwanie~ who are you talking to?

 

Seungkwan:

Oh!

The other reaper who lost his vessel.

Such an idiot!

 

Seungcheol:

Ya!

Not my fault.

I don’t know that’s so not high quality.

 

Seungkwan:

Where did you get it?

 

Seungcheol:

I made it with other reapers.

Damn! I should have asked from the above.

 

Seungkwan:

(He chuckled and teased)

Idiot.

 

Seungcheol:

You’ll see later!

(He stares badly at him)

 

Mingyu:

When are they coming out?

 

Seungkwan:

Let them savour every moment they’re together, first.

 

Mingyu:

I see.

(He smiled)

Are they talking?

 

Seungkwan:

Saying cheesy lines like you do.

 

Mingyu:

(He chuckled)

Then that’s a relief.

 

Seungkwan:

No.

It’s irritating.

 

Mingyu:

If I know… you like it the most, Seungkwanie~

(He teased)

 

Seungkwan:

Believe what you want to believe, Mingyu.

 

Mingyu embraced Seungkwan tightly.

 

Mingyu:

Good to see you back!

I miss you.

 

Seungkwan:

Don’t be ridiculous. You just saw me a while ago. The cool me!

Aren’t you happy?

 

Mingyu:

I am… but does that mean that you will be a ghost again?

 

Seungkwan:

(Realized that Mingyu will not see him again if it does)

I’m afraid yes.

(He was saddened)

But, I’m always here.

And besides, I am not fully healed yet.

See?

I’m still human.

 

Mingyu:

Then let’s make the most of it.

(His smile was like a light)

 

Seungkwan:

You know… sometimes I am wondering who you really are, Mingyu.

 

Mingyu:

I am Mingyu… your cute master, Wonwoo hyung’s pet, Jun hyung’s brother (the real treatment), Joshua hyung’s darling, and DK’s headache… and Seungcheol ssi’s fool human… he’s guarding me, right?

 

Seungcheol:

Nice description!

It fits you well.

You lack one, though.

You are like an angel in disguise.

(He smiled, murmuring words to himself)

 

Seungkwan:

A naughty… very naughty angel in disguise. Aigoo.

(Shaking his head from side to side)

 

After a while, they saw a father and son going out of the dimension with Jun assisting his heavily wounded father by his side.

 

As usual, they would run and aid them both.

 

Joshua:

Good to see you back!

(To Jun and Wonwoo)

 

Jun:

I’m back.

(He smiled)

 

Mingyu immediately run and embraced them aggressively. DK and Seungkwan face palmed, while the two groaned in pain.

 

Wonwoo:

Back off!

 

Mingyu:

Thank goodness you are safe!

I miss you!

I miss you!

 

Wonwoo:

Stop that nonsense, Mingyu!

Off me!

(With a painful groan after his words)

 

Jun:

I miss you too.

(With a bright smile despite how exhausted he was)

 

Wonwoo:

Don’t follow him, brat.

It’s annoying.

 

Jun:

(Giggled)

How sweet of you, Mingyu, but could you move a little?

My wounds are hurting.

 

Mingyu:

Oh!

Sorry. Sorry.

Let us treat you first.

 

After a huge storm, they thought everything was okay. Unfortunately, in the middle of celebration they could hear a voice. A sweet and caring voice of a warm and kind lady.

 

Lady:

My son, Elian.

 

Jun searched everywhere with such a lovely voice and a gentle call, as well as the others.

 

Later on, a lady walked from where she was stored- in a blank space.

 

Lady:

My boy.

 

Her voice was churning the boys in between heaven and hell. Her voice was so sweet that everybody wanted to feel her embrace, and at the same time, her call was such a heavy stone lying on their weak body down to the floor.

 

Jun:

(Looked at his mother)

Mother.

 

Lady:

Look at you… you’ve grown well and handsome.

(She chuckled sweetly)

I’m sorry I wasn’t by your side.

But your father did well.

(She smiled)

 

Jun:

(He smiled and cried)

How are you?

 

Jun, being so desperate receiving a motherly attention, was looking passionately to his mother’s eyes. He was longing. He was distracted.

 

Lady:

I’m fine seeing you happy, but look at you, you are all bloody.

Are you fine, son?

 

Jun:

Nothing to worry.

(He smiled brightly)

 

Joshua, seeing his beloved smile like he’s never had before, felt glad. He was happy that finally, Jun was getting all the love he deserves. Despite being blind of the things that might happen in that very hour of their lives.

 

On the other hand, Wonwoo got stuck on his position as he clearly scans everything inside the room. It felt different. It was different. It’s heavier than the presence of 7 of them. It’s heavier than seeing all the reapers came at the same time. This time, wonwoo was scared.

 

Lady:

Come, my child.

Even in this cold body, I am able to touch you.

 

Jun was tempted to go further-far from his father, near from his mother.

 

Lady:

My son.

 

However, upon reaching out his hands back to his mother’s arms, Wonwoo held him back.

 

Wonwoo:

Stay away, Jun.

(With his cold as ever hands)

 

Seungkwan and Seungcheol were out of control this time. That moment, it’s not all about the little demons lurking around. That moment… it was more dangerous than any other demon could shake the whole world.

 

Seungkwan:

(He staggered)

He’s not your mother, Jun.

I-

 

Lady:

Elian, my son.

(She started crying)

 

Jun was drawing much closer to her.

 

Seungkwan:

Jun!

Blanca went ahead with the others!

Step back!

 

Jun:

No. she is my-

 

Wonwoo:

No. she’s not your mother.

She always calls you her light, not only her son.

 

Jun:

(He cried as he was desperate feeling a mother’s embrace.)

I want to see her.

 

Lady:

I am here.

(With her most amiable stares as a mother)

I am here, my son.

 

Wonwoo:

No. you are no Blanca… you are-

(He hitched his breath)

Lucifer.

 

They were all surprised and became alerted. It was not the time to let down their guards down. Not with their weak body. Not with Lucifer.

 

Wonwoo:

Step back, all of you!

(He ordered)

 

Wonwoo presented himself in front of the king of the underworld as a barrier for his beloved.

 

Then the lady made her way in front of Wonwoo and wore a glaring icy stares with her vicious smile.

 

Lady:

Son, how have you bee
