"Can you track them?" Daehyun asked.
"No, even if I can, their location was very odd and outside of our radar, we need to find them by ourselves…" Hyunwoo said.
"Where are they exactly? Maybe there'll be some clues in their last location? I can't let her go outside for a long time even when Jihwan was with her…" Daehyun said.
"Don't rush about this, give them time to make their own space…" Daejin holds his shoulder.
"What space do you mean?! I can't just let Dahee be surrounded by dangers!!" he said.
"Let's trust Jihwan about her safety…she chose him for a reason! We made a mistake by holding her back!!" he yelled at him and made Daehyun stunned.
"We made a mistake and…turned her into…a beast, we're the one who needs to change…" Daejin held his shoulder and Daehyun sighed.
"Track them and tell me their location, my decision was fixed…" he said and walked out.
"Hyung!" Daejin called but Daehyun ignored him.
"Now what?" Hyunwoo asked.
"Track them, we don't want more trouble than this…hope Jihwan knows what he's doing right now…" Soohyuk said.

"This is a Memorial Palace isn't it?" she asked.
"Yeah it is…this place was the first place we met, don't you remember that?" he asked.
"Oh yeah~ we met by accident…this place was forbidden to enter at that time" she giggled when remember the old times.
Flashback On
"I hope appa wouldn't see me here…" she said while hiding behind the door of the Memorial Palace. She was 6 that time.
"Oi!" a voice from behind startled her. It's a boy.
"What are you doing here? It's forbidden to enter this place" he said arrogantly.
"I-I…w-what are you doing here then! You said it's forbidden to enter…" she covered herself.
"Okay…you caught me…" he said with a poker face.
Dahee turned around and took a peek at the door, making sure that there's no one who saw them.
"What are you looking at?" he asked and immediately, Dahee pulled him to bend down with her.
"I was making sure that we both will not get caught…" she said.
"Ouh…" he said and looked at her side profile. For a while, his eyes were seeing a light. When he looked back at her wings, it wasn't a dark color but more like grey.
"Yah…" he called.
"Hmm?"
"Why were your wings grey?" he asked.
"I don't know…it has been like that since I was born…" she said without looking at him, still focusing on the door.
"I heard that only angels have a white and shiny wings…" he said and it attracted her attention.
"Angels?" she asked.
"Yeah…you don't know?" he frowned and she shook her head.
"No…no one told me about that before but I've heard that somewhere…what exactly angels are?" she said.
"Let me tell you…angels are very beautiful creatures that are born and exist in the universe…" he explained.
"They're more beautiful than demons?" she asked with curiosity.
"Of course! But they're a bit weaker than us…"
"Why?"
"Because we got one legendary where a demon and angel are bonding and have sons…"
"So, what creatures are the sons?" she asked.
"Until today, no one knows where they are and whether they actually exist…!" he said.
"I heard this folklore too, from my eomma!" she pointed.
Suddenly, they heard someone called Dahee's name.
"Dahee-ya~ where are you?" it was her mother.
"Who's that? She looked so beautiful~" Jihwan said.
"It was my eomma," she said to him.
"Huh? Your eomma? She has white wings, was she an angel?" he asked.
"Eomma? I don't know, but I don't care  cause she's the real angel in my eyes~" she smiled and it made him smile too.
"I gotta go now, she may be worried about me…" Dahee was about to walk out but he held her hands.
"Wait a minute…what's your name?" he asked.
"Dahee, you?" she asked back.
"Jihwan~" he said.
"Ouh! Then, see you again Jihwan~" she said and was about to walk out but he still held her hands.
"Hmm? Why don't you let me go?" she asked.
"Huh? Ouh! I'm sorry!" he immediately let go of her hands and lowered his head.
"Dumb you, Jihwan!" his heart whispered and suddenly, she kissed his cheek.
"Let's meet here again tomorrow!" she waved at him and walked towards her mom.
Jihwan waved back and blushing.
Flashback Off
"You kissed my cheek before you went out~" he said.
"Yeah, we were just kids back then, what did that kiss mean anyway…" she pouted.
"You're right, but that's the sweetest kiss I have received~" he smiled.
"The sweetest kiss back then was forever in my heart but from now on, everyday kiss was the loveliest one" she laid her head at his chest while hugging him.
"The loveliest…" he sighed, knowing that there's a heavy burden outside there that's waiting for them.
While they were hugging and floating in the atmosphere, the Palace suddenly shook and pieces by pieces of the memory fell.
"We need to get out of here…" he ran and pulled her hand with him.
They made it but the Palace was destroyed into dust. The flying dust covered the sight in front of them but it wasn't a long time after they saw someone was walking towards them.
"Who's—" Dahee was about to ask until she really saw the person.
"Hilux…" Jihwan mumbled and they were in the position of ready, knowing the next action wasn't a slow talk session.
"Look who we got here~" Hilux said with hundreds of dark soldiers behind him.
"What are you doing here Hilux…?" Jihwan asked.
"To get rid of the pain from my life…" he said.
"Don't you think that you're too early today?" Dahee mocking.
"It's you who was late!" Hilux pointed at both of them and his hundreds of soldiers ran towards them.
"Dahee, call others while I attract them!" he said, then running towards them.
"What, no!" she said, immediately disagreeing with it.
"Just go!!!" he said and the battle was on.
Dahee grit her teeth and run in the opposite way until she slowly disappeared from Jihwan's eyes.

She runs into the palace and looks for other members.
"Daehyun oppa!" she called and all of them appeared in front of her.
"Dahee! Where have you been?!" Daehyun said, holding her shoulder.
"That's not the main problem now! Let's go in front of the Memorial Palace! Hilux was there with his hundreds of dark soldiers!" she said.
"Hundreds of dark soldiers!?" all of them were shocked.
"That's impossible, dark soldiers can't be used if the Phlox stone wasn't—" Sehyuk was stopped and realized something.
"The Phlox stone wasn't in the place, I think it's maybe that Hilux stole it to have the dark soldiers!!" he said and Dahee gulped.
"Should I tell them?" her heart whispered.
"Where's Jihwan?" Soohyuk changed the topic.
"He's fighting them alone! That's why I'm here to tell you about this!" she said.
"Okay, calm down…he'll be fine alone but now we need to find out on how to defeat Hilux…" Daehyun said.
"The stones may be able to help!" she said.
"What ston—"
"Arval and Phlox stones!" she said.
"But he got the Phlox stone…" Sehyuk said.
"You guys need to trust me this time, this one time I begged for your trust…" she said.
All of them looked at each other and only Daehyun, who was very hesitant about it.
"Sometimes, we need to take risks…we don't know what the fate was written on the board or the luck they might get…" Daejin tapped Daehyun's shoulder.
"But I'm scared of losing you Dahee, I'm not gonna make the same mistake twice…" he said.
"I already lost myself since my wings turned darker and darker. It's a long story back then, you're doing all of this for nothing…can't you trust me for once in your lifetime?" she asked.
"I—" Daehyun stopped and sighed.
"Fine, I gave up this time…we'll do the things that you said…" he said.
"Thank you" she hugged him.

"What a weak…demon you…are" Jihwan said after beating all of the soldiers in a few hits but can't lie that he also got a few injuries that affected his performance.
"Still arrogant huh?" Hilux smirked and walked towards him.
"You'll get the sequences for doing this Hilux…" Jihwan said.
"Uuu, I'm so scared~ I want to see how well this thing is gonna end…" he said while pointing his sword directly to his neck.
"Well…not so fast!" Jihwan brought up his second sword and clashed it with Hilux's sword, making him step back.
Jihwan then stood up in a new form, it's how he was when the first time he got onto the throne. Stands in the form where everyone is scared of.
"Demon King was you?!" Hilux said in shock.
"It's always been me since the first time I was born!!" Jihwan swung his sword from afar and it gave a massive wave that hit Hilux.
"Argh…you ssaekki!!" he said and ran towards Jihwan, ready to end his life but in the blink of an eye, someone defended Jihwan from it.
"Hyung…" said Jihwan after seeing Daehyun's shield stopping the attacks from Hilux.
"You good?" he asked.
"Yeah, thank you…" Jihwan said.
"Jihwan-ssi!!" Dahee waved from afar followed by others.
"Wait a minute, you're a Demon King??" Soohyuk asked with a shocked face.
"No way…" Hyunwoo gapping.
"That's the truth hyung~" Jihwan raised his shoulder.
"So Dahee and Daehyun already know about this?!!" Daejin said in amazement.
"I just found out about this a few hours ago, okay!" Dahee said.
"I already know about this since the first time our both families met…" Daehyun said.
"You're backstabber…" Daejin said with an unbelievable face.
"I think I am…" Daehyun just made his poker face.
"Family reunion? Nice~" Hilux said.
"You b*st*rd!! How dare you…" Dahee said.
"I dare to do anything for someone that I lost!!" he said, running towards them and giving one quick swing that made all of them dodge.
"Because my family wanted me to marry you in the first place, my lover killed herself…then, after your family canceled it, we announced war and my parents died!!" he said.
"First, I already rejected and even refused the proposal! Second!! Not only your parents! My parents too!!" Dahee yelled.
"Yeah, and I want you to suffer just like how I am…" he brought up another thousands of dark soldiers as back up.
"He'll never hear us…let's just kill him already," Sangcheol said.
"Let's protect ourselves too, these dark soldiers were for war. Not a regular guard, I'll call the backup…" Daehyun said, calling another royal soldier.
"What a cute doll you got~" Hilux said, burning up the fire.
"Well, with the name and blood of mine, Kim Daehyun…beat the enemy without mercy…" he said, turning into an actual demon form.
"Let's light up some party baby!!" Hyunwoo brought up his fiery chains.
"I have waited for the rest of my life and today was the day…" Sangcheol put on a smirk and he floated in the air, knowing that he'll be a beast.
"The demon of wrath was here for a reason and it's because of the death!" Daejin said with his eyes that lit with red.
"You can't fight my pride, Hilux, it's bigger than what you have now," Sehyuk said with a smirk and death glare.
"If love can have envy, why not with lust too…I'm afraid that you'll get addicted~~" Soohyuk giggling.
"7 deadly sins was here to bring me down? Good old days~" Hilux said.
