“Oh come on, why should we believe you?” Jihyo raised her eyebrow as she stared at the scorched girl before her. “How am I sure that this is not just another trick that you’re trying to play?”

Nayeon gave her a blank stare. After being kicked out of hell, she used the last bit of her demonic powers to reach heaven. She, at first, forgot that she was no longer a demon – for she panicked at the thought of evaporating outside the gates of heaven and yet, when she set her foot down on heaven’s floors, she remained in one piece.

“Do you not see –” Nayeon exhaustedly stalked towards the angel. “How burnt…” She muttered lowly, ignoring the way Jihyo was backing away from her. “My skin looks?”

A deafening silence falls upon the three. Jihyo exasperatedly sat next to the miserable ex-demon beneath her, before gesturing Dahyun to do the same. “So, Satan’s back and he’s stronger?” She questioned Nayeon lowly. Nayeon grumbled and closed her eyes, refusing to accept the fact that one of her worst nightmares came true.

“I wish there was something I could have done earlier…” Nayeon said as she placed an arm over her eyes. “I wish I could have injured him or something.”

“You did your best.” Jihyo soothing
