Demon's Tale

TWENTY TWO

CHAN NEUL POV

"I would like to try." I told to King Brooke and James.

I wanted to know whether our mate bond was real or not.

I heard loud banging on the door and soon I heard shouts.

King Brooke hold the string to me.

The string was incredibly transparent and thin as if mate bond represented as something very pure and fragile.

My heart raced in my ribcage as I am one step to know the truth.

What if the string cut into two as soon as my finger touch it?

Will the string became thicker or cut into two?

Do I even want Baekhyun be my mate?

"Chan Neul, open the door. Don't listen nor believe anything he said!" Baekhyun shouted on top of his lungs.

"One touch didn't give you disadvantage at all." James said and I inhaled deeply and exhaled before I take a step forward to King Brooke.

"I believe in Baekhyun…" I said..

"I believe that I am his real mate.” I reassured myself.

I grabbed the string from King Brooke roughly.

“Ah…” A blood dropped from my palm.

As I turned my palm, I saw long cut across my palm and my gaze shifted to the string instantly.

The string turns red because of my blood.

But one thing for sure is that the string was thicker than before.

I smiled.

Baekhyun didn’t lie.

"Thank you, Park Chan Neul." King Brooke said with a mysterious, playful smirk on his lips. In just one snap, both of them vanished into thin puff of air.

I frowned. I just realized the string is more than just a resemblance of Baekhyun and I.

I'm doomed.

"Are you okay?" Baekhyun asked in panicked tone. He and the others started to find anyone else in my room once the door unlocked.

I just shrugged and looked at my palm again.

The long cut disappeared, it didn’t even leave a scar.

***

"Do you really want to go to school, love?" Chanyeol asked with a pout while brushing my hair.

Chanyeol want to do it since he said he missed the moment to brush my hair like he always did when I was younger.

"Yes… It's been a long time since I went to school." I handed a hairband to Chanyeol.

I looked at the reflection at the mirror and saw Chanyeol struggled with the hairband.

"I could do it by mysel--" I was cut off when someone barged into the room.

"Hey, you're going to be late. Hurry." Baekhyun said as he walked to us.

"Let me do that, Chanyeol." Baekhyun took the hairband from him swiftly after watching Chanyeol made no effort in frustration.

"Braided hair!" I shouted and Baekhyun looked at me through the mirror with a low chuckle.

"Please" I pleaded with a pout.

Baekhyun used to make braided hair for me when I was younger.

I must admit that he was much better than me when it comes to hair

"No way you're going to school with braided hair.” Baekhyun shook his head.

“Why not?”

“Because all the guys kept an eye on you and I don't like it." Baekhyun answered.

Then, he tied it into a ponytail.

"Thank you.” I thanked Baekhyun with a pout. I still want braided hair.

"Chan Neul, I'll drive you to school today." Suho said as he leaned against the door frame.

"Really?" My eyes sparkled.

"Why?" I questioned. It's weird why Suho wanted to drive me to school. For my whole life, I had been walking alone to school.

"I think you needed it plus you wouldn't get this chance anymore." Suho wiggled his eyebrows in teasing way.

"Okay, fine." I said with a low chuckle and so does Suho.

"I'll follow too." Baekhyun said.

"I can go to school with Suho oppa, don't worry." I shrugged.

"It's still dangerous, there's a lot of demons targeting you, Chan Neul." Baekhyun said and his sharp gaze meets my eyes.

"Nothing will happen. I promise. I'm used to be alone you know…" I shrugged again.

"You always had us around you." Baekhyun corrected and I rolled my eyes in return.

"Let's go." Suho flashed his angelic smile which is rare for any demon.

For my whole life, he was the fairy Godmother who loves to swipes his credit card for me which I love it so much.

My lips curled into smile as I tiptoed and wrapped an arm around Suho's neck.

"Let's go!" I said brightly and Suho leads me all the way to the garage.

"Bye, have fun!" D.O bid goodbye.

"Bye!" I big goodbye back.

I glanced over to find Baekhyun but he was no longer there. I sighed as I turned my attention back to Suho and hop into the black sport car.

"Wow.. When did you bought this car?" I asked, still amused with the car. I never seen the car for my whole life.

"Let said that I was young, wild and free that time." Suho replied with a wink. “Rawr.” I scoffed with a chuckle.

Suho chuckled lowly and started driving. Everything was going well but suddenly he pressed the brake paddle with force.

My head almost knocked the dashboard if it wasn't for the seatbelt.

"What's wrong?!" I asked, slightly raise my voice.

"Chick.." Suho said as his eyes glued on the road.

"What?" I asked and my eyes shifted to the road in front of us.

There was a chick on the road.

It stayed still at the middle without thinking to move away at all.

Suho's gaze darkened and a smirk formed on his lips.

"Don't said you want to…" I said in disbelief.

"You want to hit that small creature?! No way!" I shouted but Suho looked at the chick with a murderous glare.

"Will do that." Suho said excitedly.

"Wake up! Don't you dare to drive over that chick!" I smacked Suho's face.

"I was just trying to have fun." Suho huffed. Just as both of us were in heated argument, suddenly, an angry hen stopped at the road, next to her chick, I believe.

The angry hen sensed that Suho was about to crash her fragile chick and she blew up.

Both Suho and my eyes widened at the scene in front of us.

We saw a hen flew towards the car and landed just at the front part of the car.

"What the.." Suho blinked with his lips parted.

I could see the hen smirk devilishly and she started to peck her lovely kisses on the windshield with her strong beak.

I swore I saw some part of the windshield cracked.

"My car!" Suho cried in pained.

"You mad chicken, come here to me!" Suho scolded, he put his hands on his hips once he stepped out from the car.

"Did you know that I swiped my card every month for the payment of the car?!" Suho said in angry tone while eyeing the hen which dances to the left and right in teasing manner.

"I'll cook roasted chicken tonight once I got you in my hands." Suho threatened with his index finger pointed to the hen angrily.

"Oii! Stop stepping on my car, chicken!"

"Eii, how dare you glare like that to me chicken?!"

The chicken flew to Suho and crashed on Suho's chest.

"Die you, chicken" Suho and choking the hen meanwhile the hen kept pecking on Suho. They even rolled on the road and the hen was currently on top of Suho, still pecking on Suho, meanwhile Suho throw weak punches to the chicken.

"Gosh.. Says the one who called me violence a few weeks ago.." I shook my head.

"God bless Suho, God bless chicken.."
