♨ 22 ❄

"DOYOUNG!!!" the king yelled right after entering his son's bedroom.

doyoung was securely held by jaehyun, looking at his father as if he had no idea what his dad was reproaching him.

behind him, jaehyun's heart had stopped beating in his chest.

he was standing in front of the king of the human realm, someone who absolutely hated demons and more particularly his family, and not only was he standing there, but he was also half-naked, and back hugging his precious son.

"KIM DOYOUNG, DON'T TELL ME HE'S WHO I THINK HE IS!" the king screamed, his eyes throwing daggers to the demon standing behind his son.

"if you're thinking about my lover, the future ruler of the realm, then you're right." doyoung replied fearlessly.

"don't play with me, young boy!" the king approached his son.

"i'm not playing with you, dad." doyoung spat. "i love him, i have for a long time. and it's not your stupid superstitions that will prevent me to continue loving him."

on those words, the queen entered the room, gasping immediately when she saw everything that was happening.

"tell me this isn't the jung son..." she let out, her mouth agape.

"don't be ridiculous!" the king exclaimed. "it's a demon. our son isn't stupid enough to go and run into the arms of our mortal enemy."

doyoung's father looked at his son, expecting some kind of confirmation, but instead, he saw doyoung smirking.

"doyoung!" he yelled again.

"and what if he's the jung son?!" doyoung yelled back.

"we taught you since your early age, doyoung. we taught you that demons were bad. that they were our enemies. that they ruined everything!" the queen interjected.

"those are lies!" doyoung tackled back. "you don't even know why you hate demons!"

the king scoffed loudly.

"they did something bad, centuries ago. we separated realms because they weren't good for us!"

"exactly!" doyoung shouted. "but you don't even know what exactly happened! nobody does!"

the king and the queen both stayed there, dumbfounded by their son's words.

he wasn't wrong.

the separating had happened decades ago.

and since then, they had lived separated, without interfering with each other.

but nobody knew what had happened. the idea of demons being bad had just developed with the power passing from one king to another.

there was no actual proof that demons were bad.

"i hear what you're saying, doyoung. but how can you confirm that demons are good?" the queen spoke, still not 100% convinced that demons were actually good creatures.
