Chapter 5. (1/2)

In the silence held by the five of them, you suddenly doubted everything that has happened to you. It didn't made sense that these five men who were once so kind and joyful had became... like who they are today. Does it matter if what they said were the truth, or otherwise anymore? As in, do you even care about your own survival, which is obviously in their hands now. It seems, what they wanted wasn't to kill you. It was just to tease you or something..

Memories of all of you playing by the beach side during one Summer's camp, or how the love story of yours and Daehyun unfolds bit by bit, with occasional probbing and teasing from his pals and your girlfriends. And how did it all became like this?

Your mind spun in circles as you let fearful thoughts grow in silence. And the five of them, gave each other knowing smug look.

"There...There.. " HimChan cooed, " The bright side is, we won't hurt you. Not now that is, " Jongup laughed out loud suddenly at Himchan's words. And which draws the joining of laughters of the rest.

"You could,... " YongGuk raised his cup at you to catch your attention, " Ask us any questions, we would gladly answer them, as truthfully as we can. " He gave a smirk to Zelo. Zelo return a grin and turned to face you.

You gritted your teeth, " Let me go. " You muttered harshly.

JongUp tutted, " No no Noona, not yet. Not when the main actor is absent. He needs to see this. "

"That's not a question by the way, " YongGuk cut in, " For your information, Questions are anything that could be of a help to increase your survival rates, or to decrease your survival rates. " You shot your head up and stared at him, surprised.

" Normally the latter, " YongGuk gave you a disgusting smile again.

"That....," you hesitate, "Is not even fair, " you mumbled. You didn't know that you would have the guts to whine either. For the fact, you know you're becoming less and less of yourself as the days goes by. You shouldn't have come. You shouldn't have left. You shouldn't have known Daehyun.

"I am never fair. " He smirked at you, tipping his head to the side as if he was so proud of this.

But that's a lie. He was the man of justice. When you know the six of them, he has always been the one that set the wrong to right. All the bullies feared him in school. All the elderly in the neighbourhood know of this righteous man. He was a man of justice. He was.

Never fair, is essentially indicating a forever to what he had said. He lied.

" And...I am getting bored. Are you going to ask questions already?! " Jong Up snapped, he seems to be back in his world and rolled something small between his fingers. You closed your eyes and wondered, if you dared to wish if Daehyun was here.

You recalled your first question for Daehyun.

" What are you? " This question rolled off pretty easily. You have said it at least over two times with Daehyun.

Your heart felt a strange aching and empty feeling as you thought of Daehyun.

You felt as if you're a lost bird, and you could sense that your home is destroyed by someone.

HimChan's eyes widen and glanced at the rest before bursting out laughing. He was obviously amused with your choice of words. Noting that it was a What and not a Who.

" Your... Worst.. Nightmare. " YoungJae hissed before anyone else could respond. He was still so dangerously close to you.

You really hate their teasing. They could have just eaten you, why would they just keep you here and waste your time iwth all these teasing. You asked a question, but their answers is barely directed at your question. Right, they are the ones in control because your life is in their hands. But consider this, do you even care if all these ends? You felt like you have lost the purpose to live. Previously, it was probably for Daehyun. Those happily ever afters promised with every memory you both created together. Now? What's the purpose to live?

These thoughts ecalated and you felt a sudden urge of boldness, " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?" You screamed.

" Whoa whoa.. " Zelo grinned as he gave a knowing glance to the rest, as if he was pleased that you are getting pissed off, flapping his hands as if to cool you down, " Chill Noona. YoungJae Hyung was right though, " He still keep his grin, and that made your hair stood, " We're your worst nightmares. Though, " He glanced at himchan with a smirk, " You probably had one already. "

Your eyes widened...They... They knew?

Ohno.

" Yes yes little ______, we know. Cause we did that, no actually, I did that. " HimChan stood up proudly. He flipped the book back to the cover page and walked close to you.

" And to reply you, we are De-gels. Demonic Angels. We are sent, by the Creator of Matoki to conquer Earth, That includes your beloved by the way, " he tucked his hands in his pockets and turned his back on you. " You see.. " He starts to describe with his hands dramatically emphasising his words, " Earth needs six things right now. "

De-gel, that name struck you again as you stressed your brain to recall snippets of what Daehyun had told you. Matoki, now that word is unfamiliar. What do they mean though? Don't you know them since you were thirteen? Why did they say as if they were from another.. country? Nono.. another planet? You perked your ears to listen, and you also noticed that your hands have gotten numb from the tying of your hands. You winced and tried to loosen the object that held your hands together, to no avail. It barely budged with all the writhing.

" Justice. " YongGuk grinned. Obviously proud of what the creater of Matoki had given him.

" Emotion, " HimChan did a curtsy spreading his arms to his sides as if he was giving you an ending pose of a stage performer..

" Passion, " Jongup lazily spat, still inspecting something invisible to your naked eye from where you were held at. .

" Happiness... " Zelo gave a disgusted face, a straight contrast from the word itself..

Everyone stared at Youngjae nudging him to continue. YoungJae shrugged his shoulders, " I guess, ... I don't know, don't look at me. "

HimChan rolled his eyes, " That stupid de-gel forgotten what the creater told him. "

He looked back at you, " ANYWAYS, " He walked around in slow circles before you.

" Your lover boy, needs to find love in this earth. Or rather, he needs to give love to this world. "

"Huh? " What does he meant? Wait, What Daehyun need to do? Wait... does it mean...?

"You see, all of us are entasked with these words. These POWERFUL words.

Because we need to conquer Earth, we need to find these and give to Earth. "

Give to earth? Wait, conquer Earth????

" It's an exchange, " JongUp added.

HimChan nodded in his direction. " And you see, .... what we need, is to swallow a person's soul. A human, so that we could get, " He pointed at YongGuk, " Justice, "  then at himself, " Emotion, " he tossed a look at JongUp, Zelo and Youngjae, " And you know what.. "

"Anyways, ... "

That didn't make sense. You give a planet what they need, you still conquer them and dominate them and strapped them from what they desire like freedom. These six things are not necessary. Justice, but would it resolve poverty? Emotions would it make people more emphatising to things around them? Passion, for what? The desire to pursue dreams that were always put down by others? Happiness? That can never be lasting. And Love? Daehyun gives back Earth Love, and what, he called you to swallow your soul and fulfill what he wants? Why do they need such things anyway, when they first know you, they had all these already. " So you captured me, for? " You glared at HimChan.
