Lee Yongsun couldn't believe what he just experienced. He thought that was the last time for him to see his Yunyu Hyung. He was already thinking about ending his life once he returned back to hell.
Because he had no other purpose in life except having his Yunyu Hyung by his side. As shallow as it could be, Lee Yongsun had only loved his Yunyu Hyung for his entire life, either as Im Jaehwa, the foolish young man or as Lee Yongsun, the devil.
He agreed to be the devil because he thought he could bind Yunyu Hyung with him this time, not letting him go and not letting Yunyu Hyung betrayed him for the second time.
Yet, when Yunyu Hyung was about to leave him again, Lee Yongsun couldn't hide his desperation. He cried and begged Yunyu to stay with him, even though he knew it was a futile struggle.
Until Yunyu Hyung suddenly jumped to the portal and got teleported to hell with him. They were currently in Lee Yongsun's private mansion in hell, where everything was colored crimson red or black.
Lee Yongsun stared at Yunyu with both excitement and fear. He feared this was just another trick that Yunyu used. "Hyung…"
The golden chains clinked and wrapped around Lee Yongsun immediately. "Urk!" Lee Yongsun struggled to no avail. It seemed the golden chains had complete control over his body, probably because he was bound by that sacred contract.
"Don't be too rough on him, Jinshe," Yunyu said. The golden chain loosened a bit but was still tight enough to disable Lee Yongsun.
Lee Yongsun struggled weakly while he was looking up to his Yunyu Hyung. Yunyu was looking down at him full of suspicion. He stepped back and then asked, "Lee Yongsun, do you know the reason why I decided to come with you in hell?"
'Because you love me?' that was what Lee Yongsun wished in his heart. But he knew that wasn't the case. His Yunyu Hyung never loved him, so he had to reply with the most realistic answer.
"Because you want to know something, right?"
"Indeed," Yunyu affirmed. He stared at Lee Yongsun's despairing face. Yunyu crouched in front of Lee Yongsun and added, "But that's not the only reason for me to stay. Lee Yongsun, I'm not a man without heart."
Lee Yongsun raised his head immediately. There was a glimmering hope in his eyes. But he was afraid to be disappointed once more, so he hid his face by lowering his head again and then said, "I understand that, Hyung. What do you need from me? Is it information?"
Yunyu sighed and signaled Jinshe to release Lee Yongsun. Jinshe was unsure at first, but when Yunyu said it would be alright. The golden chain that wrapped Lee Yongsun's body disappeared and turned into a golden boa instead.
The golden boa wrapped around Yunyu's waist like a belt and rested comfortably.
Lee Yongsun was confused when Yunyu Hyung suddenly released him. He looked at Yunyu hesitatingly, "H—Hyung, if you really don't want me to touch you, you shouldn't release the chain…"
Lee Yongsun tried to distance himself from Yunyu, hoping that Yunyu Hyung wouldn't feel threatened, and left him again. "As long as you stay here, I will try not to get close to you."
Yunyu stared at Lee Yongsun sympathetically. He didn't expect Lee Yongsun to be so afraid of him. It seemed the past event was highly traumatic for Lee Yongsun, so it always cast doubt in his heart.
He never believed that Yunyu Hyung loved him, so he tried to trap him forever.
Now that it backfired on Lee Yongsun, he realized there was no way for him to bind Yunyu Hyung, as Yunyu could leave anytime he wanted. So Lee Yongsun tried his best not to make Yunyu uncomfortable, even if it meant that he had to distance himself from Yunyu. So his Yunyu Hyung would stay.
'He looked more like Jay in Ragemeter world when he is like this. I can see the trace of that handsome and innocent Jay inside him. Maybe that's his true nature, because the true nature of someone never changes,' Yunyu thought.
Yunyu sighed. He advanced towards Lee Yongsun, and Lee Yongsun immediately took a step back. He did until his body hit the wall. Then, Lee Yongsun cowered. He wasn't afraid of anyone.
He was just afraid that his existence would disturb Yunyu Hyung. "H—Hyung, I—I will leave if my presence disturbs you. P—Please stay with me here. I will do anything you want as long as you stay…" Lee Yongsun begged.
Yunyu saw how this big and strong devil cowered in fear. He started to wonder how much pain he put on Master Han Ye's soul fragment in each world. Because seeing Jay/Lee Yongsun turned out to be like this also made Yunyu feeling extremely guilty.
Yunyu approached the cowering devil and patted Lee Yongsun's head gently, "I will stay for a while, so don't be scared."
Lee Yongsun took a deep breath when Yunyu Hyung patted his head. He tried to remember every moment where Yunyu Hyung gave him so much warmth. It was a strange yet familiar feeling for him.
As if he had wanted this since long ago.
Lee Yongsun looked up to his Hyung and saw that Yunyu Hyung was smiling at him. Yunyu crouched again, and this time, he hugged Lee Yongsun gently.
"I'm sorry I hurt you so much, but there is something I must do back then," Yunyu said. "But I cannot tell you.. because I don't remember myself…"
Lee Yongsun felt the warmth from Yunyu Hyung permeated through his cold soul, slowly melting the feeling that had been frozen in time.
Lee Yongsun's hand trembled as he tried to hug Yunyu Hyung back. He slowly wrapped his hideous devil claw on Yunyu Hyung's back and hugged him gently.
"Hyung… is this a dream?"
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"I have lived two lives, so I can stay with you. I don't care whether I have to sacrifice myself to the devil. I don't even care if I have to get tortured… because all I want is this…"
"I did everything so you will not leave me. But when I was about to give up, you come to me and hug me like this. This is definitely a dream, right?"
"If it is… would you mind to drown me in this dream? Because I don't want to wake up…" Lee Yongsun nestled on his Yunyu Hyung's chest. "Hyung, are you not scared of my current look?"
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Because I've turned into a true devil, this is the last stage of my transformation. I cannot revert back to Lee Yongsun that you know."
Yunyu looked at Lee Yongsun. True, he had fangs right now. His face looked a lot scarier, and he wasn't as handsome as he used to be. But when Yunyu realized that Lee Yongsun turned himself into the devil for him, Yunyu felt physical appearance wasn't really important.
Yunyu wiped the tears on Lee Yongsun's cheeks, "Why are you scared of superficial things? Lee Yongsun, I decided to stay here for a while because I want to know more about you."
"And that, I want to compensate for the pain that I caused," Yunyu said. He kissed Lee Yongsun's lips and smiled, "So don't be scared. Okay?"
