Jae and Jimin peeked from behind a corner of the hall. Jae points to a door that had a painting of a dragon on the cover.

“That is where Bo-Bae eats most of her meals. So, your precious prince must be there.” Jimin pumped her fist and stood up straight, determined to get him back.

“Alright! Let's hurry up and get him!”

Jae frowns as she starts to walk. He reaches out and grabs a hold of her shirt and pulls her back into hiding. He sends her a little glare and instead goes to walk to the door.

“Let me go first. For all we know there could be a trap.”

Jimin pouted and sat back on the ground with arms folded. Why would there be a trap, it's her home! Jae walked up to the door. He steadily looks it up and down. He tilts his head at the entrance. Bo-Bae must have touched him with the shaman sword again, not much of the demon's mana is pouring out from behind it. Jae reaches out his hand to open it.

“Jae-Yoon, what are you doing in my house.” He automatically retreats his hand and turns around with a bright smile. From behind him was Bo-Bae who was accompanied with two other woman kumihos. She wore a scorn on her face, seeing him snooping around her house.

“Sister, I just wanted to see your meal. Everyone says you captured the prince of Hell.” He steps forward, making Bo-Bae's hand twitch, and plays a smirk. “Maybe we could share?”

Jimin covers her mouth while watching the exchange. The image of Bo-Bae eating Daemon's innards is disguising enough!

“Hey, you!” Jimin jumps at the sudden voice and turns around to see a woman kumiho with arms at her sides while supporting a frown. Her tail was swishing furiously back and forth with ears down. Jimin steadily points to herself.

“M-Me?” The woman rolls her eyes and walks forward to grab her wrist, Jimin starts to panic. Have they found out she was a human?

“All of the woman that serve Bo-Bae must be dressed for the ceremony. Get dressed now!” Jimin put her hands up to the woman with a crooked smile/

“Y-You're mistaken. I don't work-.”

“Get your ass moving!” The woman roared.

Bo-Bae's ear twitches. Jae curses to himself as he realizes that Jimin must have gotten caught. He plays his casual smile and lets out a chuckle, bringing up his sleeve to cover his mouth.

“Seems you have some trouble making workers here, Bo-Bae.” She turned her head away from where the loud voices were and turned to Jae with a growl.

“Shut up, you're getting annoying. Why don't you go off and play in the red-distract.” He keeps his position, not fazed by her commands. Jae lifts his sleeve to his mouth, trying to cover the smile.

“I want to see the Malum for myself. Besides, for all I know you could be lying.” She narrowed her eyes at him, Bo-Bae then turned around and scoffed.

“Fine, you may see him tonight. But-,” She sent a glare, “-Don't you dare mess this up for me. Or I wont be hesitate to kill you unlike before.”

Jae kept his smile as his sister stomped down the halls. Once she was out of vision a frown formed on his face. This is going to be very difficult, especially now that Jimin is thought to be worker here. He sighed and went on his way to find the girl.

oO0OoO0Oo

Jimin looks herself in the mirror and waves her arms in the blue hanbok she was fit into. She blinks and tilts her head, it's actually pretty okay for an ordinary hanbok. She looks around herself and at the female kumihos that were getting dolled up. It was funny to watch all the white tails that were happily swaying back and forth. She then groans and holds her head in her hands. Great, how's she suppose to make a contract with Daemon when Bo-Bae's in the room! If only they got to the room a little sooner this wouldn't have happened.

“Look! Look! It's Jae-Yoon!” All the girls heads went up along with Jimin. At the entrance of the room was Jae standing with girls all around him. Her face fell at the scene.

This is the girls' dressing room! Aren't they fazed at all? !

“Oppa*! What are you doing here?” One said leaning themselves against him. Her eye twitched at the girl, her top coat wasn't even fully on yet!

Jae merely sends a smile at her and tilted the girls head up to meet her face.

“Only to see you beautiful ladies before the ceremony.” Jimin covered her ears as all kumihos began to squeal in delight. Jae continued to chuckle at all the girls, his eyes then went to scanning the room. He then finally saw Jimin looking at him with disgust. His smile grew.

“Ah, Jimin! There you were!” She flinches as all the girls in the room now start to glare towards her. She lets out a small laugh and waved to the male.

“H-Hey Jae.” The girls' glares intensified around her. Dammit! What do all these girls see in him? ! Jae strides to her and waves his hand to her.

“Let's speek privately.”

For some reason she felt the glares on her back intensify. Jimin meekly nodded and walked off with Jae. They both went into an unoccupied room, Jae put his ear to the door, making sure there was no one there, before turning back to Jimin with a sigh. He put his hand up to his head and pushed some of his bangs out of his eyes.

“Really, this has become a mess.” He turns to her with a frown. “By the moment you see the Malum it will be Bo-Bae's dinner time.” Jae then glanced to Jimin to see her now having her head down and arms shaking. He tilts his head at the girl. “I'm curious though, how will you have him come back? When I was sensing his mana it seemed Bo-Bae hit him with the sword again.”

Her face blushed at his question. She then backed up and put her hands up, waving them back and forth.

“I-It's nothing like that!” He blinked at her reaction.

“Why are you so red? I didn't even say anything perverted.” Jimin took in a breath and looked down at the ground.

“W-Well, I'm just going to make a c-c-contract so he wont be affected by the s-sword.” Jae continued to stare at her with head tilted. A contract? There's nothing embarrassing about that. Why is her face red?

Everything then clicked in his head and he let out a smirk at her. She flinches at his change of expression.

“Oh~, you're getting all red just because of one kiss?” Jimin's face blushes even more, making the smirk on Jae's face grow even more. “What an innocent human~. You do know it's taboo to love the undead, right?”

She frowned and pointed a finger at him. “I don't like him! He's just a friend!”

This only made the kumiho chuckle even more, almost on the verge of falling over laughing. Besides the comedy is he getting out of he situation, Jae's glad the girl has some plan to get the Malum. Making a contract is the perfect idea for this kind of situation.

“Are you two done in there? !”

The door to the room opens to reveal the woman that dragged Jimin from away earlier. She glares at her.

“You! Get to the dinning room this instant!”

She began to panic as the woman grabbed her hand and started to drag her out of the room.

“W-Wait! J-Jae! Help me out!”

Jae snickered and waved to the girl. Leaving her with the woman. She let out a small growl at him as she was dragged away. Is he trying to help him? !

Jimin kept sulking while getting lined up with the other kumihos. They were all whispering to each-other and tried to peek into the room. She sighed and rubbed her face, everything is falling apart.

“Is that the Malum?”

“He's handsome!”

“It's not fair, Bo-Bae gets everything!”

Her head raised up to the voices. They were going to see Daemon? She started to jump to try and see above all the girls. He's actually here! Soon, all the girls started to move in. Jimin nearly started to jump in joy. She's going to see him, after all this time. Her heart was now racing, she finally was able to walk into the room. Jimin's eyes widen as she sees him.

Daemon was in the center of the room, he still looked sick as ever, maybe even worse. His arms were tied with rope, and his head was hanging. She nearly cried over his position, she could see he was in pain because Daemon was still panting for breath. Jimin opened her mouth.

“Daemon.”

He heard her voice. Daemon looks up with wide eyes at Jimin. A small tear falls from down her cheek as she sees him whisper her voice. So close. Jimin walked forward, but once she stepped out of line the same kumiho grabbed her arm and pulled her back into line with a growl.

“Don't ruin this for Miss Bo-Bae.”

She glances back towards Daemon to see him look at her with the same shocked look, but seeing her get pulled away his hopes get crushed and his head goes down. Jimin fingers the clapper behind her. Should she use it now?

Her thoughts were then interrupted by the doors opening and the sound of whispering to drop. Jimin looks up to see Bo-Bae and Jae-Yoon walk in. Her mouth drops at the both of them. Even though she hates Bo-Bae, she can't deny the woman's beautiful. A fan was held up to her face covering the lower half, only showing her sharp eyes. The hanbok she wore was such a pure white Jimin almost felt blinded. Then there was Jae. He was dressed up beautifully too, with his silky hair tied to a lose braid. Jimin kept watching in amazement at them as they walked continued to walk. But, once she sees Daemon again Jimin shakes her head and breaks out from the trance. This isn't the time! Jimin bits her lip and clenches her teeth. She has to save him now!

“Daemon!”

The moment she runs forward, Bo-Bae's sharp eyes turn towards her. She swiftly turns towards the girl and swings her foot around to kick the girl to the wall. Her foot collides with her stomach, Jimin lets out a gasp as she feels the impact and is thrown across the room. From all around the girls let out a scream, Jae frowns at what happens and folds his arms. This is going to get messy.

Bo-Bae walks up to her and stops in front of the girl with a glare.

“I knew I smelled something since I ran into Jae. You have a lot of guts to walk into my territory.”

Jimin steadily gets back up and also sends her own glare. “G-Give me back Daemon!”

Bo-Bae lets out a laugh.

“A human is ordering me? I knew I should of just killed you from the start.” She then picks up Jimin from the collar of her dress with a snarl. “I never liked trash like you, all head strong.” She raises the other claw, red sparks start to come from the tips. Jimin's eyes widen, and she quickly pulls the clapper from behind her back. She closes her eyes and grips the object, this better work!

Jimin shakes the clapper, it was a normal sound. But the instant the wood hits each-other, all kumihos in the room let out a scream and rush out of the room. Even Bo-Bae drops Jimin in shock from the sudden sound and covers her ears. Jimin takes this chance and runs forward to Daemon. Bo-Bae sees her actions and lets out a loud, cannibalistic snarl. She reaches forward to grab the girl with red claws, but just in time Jae rushes forward and grabs her hands. Bo-Bae lets out another hiss.

“You bastard!” He turns to Jimin, trying to keep back the woman with all his strength.

“Hurry and make the contract!”

Jimin stares at him, but she finally nods and rushes towards Daemon. She kneels down in front of him and grabs the sides of his face. Daemon looks up with lazy eyes, but she could see the confusion in them. Jimin lets out a sigh.

“Don't kill me for this.”

Jimin shuts her eyes tight and crashes her lips on his. Daemon's eyes also widen at the action. Jimin almost gasps and pulls back, from the instant she kissed him there was a surge of electricity between them. Once the electric on her lips calm down she pulls back from him. Jimin looks at him from side to side. Did it work? He's not panting any more. She then starts to see his body start to shake.

“You. Bitch.” A smile immediately comes on Jimin's face.

“Daemon! You're-!” Her sentence was cut off, Daemon flys forward and pushes Jimin's head to the floor while wearing a hard glare.

“What the fuck! Out of all the ways to save me you make a damn contract!” Jimin chokes and lets out a nervous smile.

“-Y-You're back.”

From the side Jae lets out a grunt.

“Even though this must be a touching moment. Jimin, remember our promise!”

She nods at him and looks up to Daemon with confidence. He flinches at her look and releases his grip on her a bit.

“Don't you dare.”

“Stop Bo-Bae!”

In an instant Daemon gets off her and runs towards the kumiho. Jae sees his movement and jumps away from her just in time, Daemon flys forward and crushes her down to the floor with hands on her neck. Bo-Bae begins to howl and starts to whither in his grip.

Jimin stands up from the floor and giddily begins to jump.

“It works!” Jae stands up straight and brushes off his hanbok, he then walks next to Jimin and lets out a chuckle.

“Yes it did. Now, remember our promise?” The smile on Jimin's face falters. She looks down to the ground and rubs her arm.

“W-Well, yeah. But, you sure you want to . . . kill her?” Jae's face goes down to her level with a scorn.

“She just tried to eat the Malum and kill you. Don't you think she deserves death.”Jimin begins to stutter and turns the other way.

“But still. . .” Jae stares at her and the frown increases.

“A promise, is a promise.” Jimin turns back to Daemon who was still holding down a struggling Bo-Bae.

“D-Daemon, get rid of her.”

This time, a smirk actually comes on his face as his grip increases.

“With pleasure.”

Jae comes behind Jimin and covers her eyes with his hand. His face stays a stoic expression.

“A lady shouldn't see such a sight.”

Jimin flinches as she hears the sound of screaming, then the sound of an burning. She closes her eyes shut and waits for the burning to cease. Soon the sound of a soft sizzling is heard and she opens her eyes to see Daemon standing next to ashes. Jimin sighs, but a smile comes on her face as she runs up to him.

“Daemon-!” Before she could give him a hug, Daemon sticks out his hand and hits her on the top of her head.

“You think I'm happy after getting forced into a contract with you.” Jimin holds her head with both hands and has a pout. She then looks up to him and tears start to come from the corner of her eyes. Daemon flinches at the tears.

“Hey, don't start crying! I'm not that pissed!” Jimin then crys even more but lets out a small laugh.

“N-No, I'm happy. I thought I would never see you again. I thought I lost you. But, here you are. And you're healthy again!” Daemon flinches again as she lets out a louder cry. He watches her with guilt as she continues with the water-works. He lets out sigh and scratches the back of his head. She did come save him, even though it was through a contract he shouldn't have yelled. Daemon finally takes out his hand and rubs the top of her head.

“Hey, stop crying. I'm happy too that you came and saved me.” Jimin looks up to him with tear filled eyes, but still held a smile. She then lets out another wail and wraps her arms around his waist. Daemon stumbles back, his expression then turns to an annoyed one.

“Did I say you could hug me? !” Even though he was trying to pull her off Jimin kept her grip around him. From the side Jae lets out a cough. Both of their heads to turn to the kumiho. He holds a smile and walks up to the two and then bows.

“I have to thank you. This house is finally mine, along with my family's fortune.” Daemon narrows his eyes at the fox and pulls back Jimin.

“Why else did you help Jimin? Kumiho's aren't known for kindness.” Jae chuckles and brings his sleeve to the top of his mouth.

“Actually, I was just completing my debt towards the girl.” Jimin blinks at him and points her finger at her face.

“Me?” Jae nods.

“Yes. Though, it was when you were a child so you probably don't remember.” Jae closes his eyes and tilts back his head, reminiscing the memory. “My sister, actually tried to kill me once. She then dumped me to the human world.” He then raises his gaze back towards Jimin. “I was in my fox form when you found me. You weren't scared and came up to me and treated my leg wound. You still had strong mana back then, so I took some which helped me heal faster.” A smile grows on his face. “Even though you didn't know it. You saved me that day, so of course when I saw you here in Limbo I wanted to help.”

Jimin scratched the back of her neck in embarrassment.

“S-Sorry, I don't remember.” He lets out another laugh.

“Humans don't have a good memory, so it can be passed.”

Jimin opens her mouth to apologize again. But the sound of voices outside stops the girl. Jae sighs and lets out a pout.

“Looks like out meeting is done here. You better leave before they find you.” Daemon let out a grunt and used one of his claws and pokes the air. From it a black portal opens. He then turns to Jimin.

“Let's get out of here, I'm totally sick of foxes now.” Jimin smiles and goes to walk up to him. A pain then comes from her leg and she falls to the ground with a groan. Jae tilts his head at her with his fan out.

“Oh, looks like you injured yourself there.” She blushed and looked the other way.

“I-It's nothing.” Just as she said that, arms come from under her legs and back. She lets out a yelp and grabs onto the person. Jimin looks up to see that Daemon has picked her up. He looks down at her with no expression and lets out a sigh.

“I swear this is like the fifth time I had to carry you.”

“Sorry.”

She blushes even more, but leans onto his hold. He's carrying her like a princess, like in all of those Japanese comics she reads. Well, he is a prince so maybe it's natural to think that. Jimin looks up to his face and smiles before leaning into his hold again. She actually doesn't mind always being held like this. She missed his touch.

Jae watches as both of them walk into the portal and disappear. He lets out a chuckle and brings a fan up to his face.

“Hope our path's cross again, Jimin.”
