jaehyun [twenty-six]

The sound of someone pushing on the door to the café came just minutes later, breaking your friends out of their quiet conversation. Then a fist was knocking on the door as Jaehyun's voice came through the door, "Y/N? Y/N? I'm here, love, what's wrong? Y/N!"

He had just started ramming the door with his shoulder when Johnny moved to open it, all of your Ayakashi friends' supernatural attributes disappearing. When he opened it up, Jaehyun stumbled through. His eyes immediately zeroed in on you, and he ran over to you, not sparing a greeting or glance at the others. Which was beneficial, as it gave them an opportunity to turn back into their human forms.

"Y/N, oh my god, what happened to you?" At his horror, you realized that Yuta had passed out before he could take care of most of your superficial wounds, including a rather prominent throbbing on your cheek. "Who did this?" Jaehyun demanded, taking your face in both his hands to jerk your head around as he looked you over for more injuries. "I'll fucking—" The rough treatment made you whimper, tears springing to your eyes, and he let go of your face as he took a deep breath to calm himself down, then gently stroked a thumb right under your split cheek. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Jae, I'm okay," you reassured him, reaching up to grab his hand. Just him being there was already soothing you, and you pressed a light kiss to the inside of his wrist.

"What happened?"

You glanced over at Johnny, who nodded in understanding. Standing up, you took Jaehyun's hand in yours, "We need to talk for a minute, Jaehyun."

"Why? Was it him?"

"No, Jaehyun!" You snapped, "Calm down, it's nobody here, okay? I told you, I'm okay. I just have something I've been meaning to tell you. Come on."

You tugged on his hand insistently as you guided him to the back of the restaurant, moving the curtain aside to lead the way up the stairs to the loft. The second story was empty, and you brought Jaehyun to the couch to sit him down. He pulled you down to sit on his lap, wrapping two firm arms around you. He said nothing, looking up at you expectantly.

"It's going to be a lot, and I'm going to sound crazy, but please, just listen," you pleaded with him.

"Okay..."

"So I'm not exactly a normal human. I'm..." you braced yourself for the weird shit that was about to come out of your mouth. "I'm an Onmyoji. A Diviner, I can do magic. I'm actually one of the most powerful Onmyoji in a millennia, but uh," you let out a nervous chuckle, "that really doesn't mean much to you."

Jaehyun's eyes were wide as he studied you with clear skepticism, but he remained silent like you had requested, just listening.

"I only just found out a month before we started dating, about what I am. And I didn't even get my powers until uh—until we... The night on the couch, when we were doing that literary analysis, turns out the intense embarrassment was a catalyst for turning my powers on. Anyway, I should probably show you, right?"

Your boyfriend nodded slowly, probably still trying to comprehend your nervous ramblings. You leaned forward to grab a pad of paper and a pen from the table in front of the couch. Writing a short note on it, you then ripped the top sheet from the pad.

"Take flight to Jeno," you clearly instructed, eyeing Jaehyun to make sure he was watching as you flicked your wrist upwards. The paper immediately turned into an origami swan and promptly sailed out of the room. His eyes followed its path with intrigue until it was out of sight. He looked at you silently, clearing trying to see if you were going to say or do anything else. You gestured for him to wait.

Sure enough, you heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and Jeno soon stood at the top, your swan now unfolded in his hands. He leaned in the doorway, looking at you with an eyebrow raised as his eyes flicked between you and Jaehyun, "So you're..."
