The Demon's Angelic Love

Elias burst into laughter when he heard Michy ask him a question so innocently. The idol looked so certain with what was in his mind, and the expression when he asked the question was rather cute.

The blonde laughed even if he knew that Michy wouldn't like it when other people laughed at him.

After managing to stop his laughter, he stretched out his hand and ruffled the silver locks on Michy's head. "You are thinking too much, Michy," he stated while smiling tenderly at the idol.

The blonde was treating him tenderly, but the idol didn't budge and remained with his stoic expression. "Why did you come to save me from the bully? I could handle it without your help," he replied coldly.

The cold reply caused Elias to sigh heavily. "What would you do to the bully if I didn't come to help you? You would just let him bully you?"

"..."

Even if Michy looked stern, he ended up hesitating when he heard the question. He indeed didn't have a plan if Elias didn't come to help him.

He only knew that he shouldn't cause trouble, so probably Elias was right. Maybe he would just let the bully do as he pleased.

Getting no answer from the boy, Elias decided to speak again, "Let's go to the car. Your assistant is waiting for you there."

Even before Michy could say anything in return, Elias had walked away from him toward the black van.

Michy snorted at the man's bizarre attitude. "Don't you think you're also my assistant?" He mumbled annoyedly. "You didn't even do any job and let Azren handle everything. I didn't expect you would be this irresponsible."

Michy thought that Elias was no longer the same Elias from many years ago. And perhaps it was his fault for thinking that the man would try to fix his mistake before.

'He's indeed not responsible because he easily left me without a word many years ago.'

Elias had left him, and Michy had no choice other than to swing his legs toward the van. Opening the door to the back seat of the car, he then threw his backpack to the seat before getting into the car.

He was sitting calmly in the back seat, but the driver still didn't start the car engine even after two minutes passed. Frowning confusedly, he then asked, "What are you waiting for? I'm hungry, and I want to eat outside today."

The said driver sighed upon hearing Michy's bark. "Who is the boy earlier? Why did he bully you?"

The question stunned the young idol. Azren questioned him like a father questioned his son. That was such a ridiculous analogy, but Azren's question brought a hole in Michy's heart. He suddenly missed his adoptive father.

He didn't have lots of memories of his biological parents, so he felt more connected with his foster parents. He still remembered how the people who weren't blood-related to him treated him so well, and suddenly he felt a longing feeling in his heart.

"You okay, Michy?"

He could hear Azren's voice again, and when he looked up, he found Azren had turned his head to him and gazed at him in concern.

"I'm fine," the blue-eyed youth answered while drifting his eyes away from the blonde. "That student bullied me because he's envious of me. That's all."

Michy decided to give a simple explanation. He didn't think much about the bad treatment he got from his schoolmates. Even the people in his company were treating him badly, so he wasn't surprised when his schoolmates hated him as well.

It was such an irony. When many people admired him and wanted to be close to him, the ones who were close with him physically chose to bully him. Michy could only smile bitterly at the realization.

Azren noticed the smile, and he furrowed his brows at the smile. He then turned to Elias and glared at the man. "Why didn't you punch the kid earlier? You should have given him a lesson so he wouldn't repeat his action," he questioned the man angrily.

He was angry in his heart, and some strands of blonde locks turned black again.

"Violence wouldn't solve the problem," Elias replied calmly. "If I punched the kid, he probably would seek revenge on Michy. Do you want Michy to be the target forever?"

Elias was being rational, and Azren didn't even know how to respond to the man's statement. He could see how Elias dealt with the bully earlier, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

Elias just merely smiled at the bully, but the bully immediately relented and even apologized to him. That was a strange sight for him, and it was bothering his heart.

"He's a mafia," Michy suddenly chimed in. "I'm pretty sure that the boy earlier knows who he is, and that's why the boy earlier chose to apologize to him."

Both Azren and Elias turned to Michy, and the two of them displayed different looks on their faces. Elias was trying to suppress his laughter when Azren looked serious as he was contemplating Michy's opinion.

Bringing his emerald to Elias again, Azren scanned the man's appearance. "You look like a noble, but it turns out you are a bad person," he commented coldly. "And you said that you didn't have money, right? How come a mafia doesn't have money? Are you trying to hide from someone right now?"

Azren and his interrogation caused Elias to laugh out loud again. "You watched too many movies, Azren! What ridiculous plot is that?"

Azren was not a human, and he didn't watch too many movies. He just thought that the scenario might be true. Elias probably was a mafia who was trying to hide from his enemy.

"Just shut up!" Azren reprimanded the other blonde. "Perhaps it's true that you are Michy's past, but why did you suddenly appear in his life again after many years have passed?"

Elias was indeed mysterious, but after knowing the possibility of the man being a mafia, Azren became more suspicious toward the man.

Azren kept cornering Elias, and the latter glimpsed at Michy at the back seat. However, Michy avoided his gaze. The idol remained silent and just listened carefully to how Azren interrogated the mysterious man. Perhaps he was curious about the man too, but he didn't say anything.

Sighing heavily, Elias turned to Azren again. "I indeed have a purpose, but my purpose is not bad for Michy," he replied to Azren's question.

The demon squinted his emerald eyes upon hearing Elias' confession. "So, our first meeting a few days ago is not a coincidence, right? You have planned the encounter all along, haven't you?"

The atmosphere between Azren and Elias was getting tenser, but Michy didn't utter any words.

"Ah, so it's not my mistake for hitting you with the car. You surely know Michy's car, and you deliberately ran towards the car to make it look like an accident. You also know my name, and it's because you have planted a spy around Michy, right? Who's the spy?"

Azren once again acted as if he was a police officer solving a case. And even if Elias had not answered his question earlier, he already came up with different ideas just like the scene in a movie.

The 'encounter' with Elias looked like a mere accident with Azren as the culprit who brought them together, but now the demon saw a possibility of the accident was not really an accident. He just needed the man to confirm his suspicion now.

"I don't have a spy around Michy!" Elias denied the accusation. "I indeed have a source, but there's no spy around Michy. You don't need to feel suspicious of anyone around Michy because they are not my alliance."

"Ah, so now you admit that you have a source, huh?" Azren questioned the other blonde again. "You're indeed a mafia, and you must be a dangerous person!"

Elias stared at Azren flatly because the man continued cornering him with the 'mafia' word.

Meanwhile, Michy remained silent as the two blondes argued at each other in the car. His mind was occupied by something as he continued staring at Elias.

"You said that you don't have bad intentions for me, right?" His soft voice finally broke the tension between Azren and Elias. "Then, what's your real intention for me?" He questioned the man in his heart as he kept gazing at the golden-eyed man.

Elias finally left Azren alone as he turned his head to the back seat. Michy was staring at him with his blue eyes, waiting for him to answer the question.

Azren was still glaring at him too, but he didn't say anything as he gave a chance to him to answer Michy's question.

Two people were staring at him coldly, and Elias finally gave up. "Alright. I admit that our meeting a few days ago is not just a coincidence.. I've planned the meeting, but it's for Michy's sake. Are you satisfied now?"
