"Have you guys ever wondered why Ms Sienna isn't called Mrs Sienna?"
"Of all of the important questions that could have been asked, you are curious about that?"Yoona rolled her eyes at Luhan.
"Because she isn't married?"Yixing guessed, overhearing their conversation from the kitchen.
"Ms Sienna looks young. Why are you even wondering about that?"Taeyeon asked, turning the volume down and looking back at the dining table where Luhan and Yoona are sitting.
"She looks very young for her age. She is fifty years old. She can be my mum already."Luhan said.
"So? What are you trying to say? You want to marry her?"Yoona stared at him.
"Ew no. Ms Sienna is beautiful, but she isn't even married. It seems weird to me."Luhan said.
"Everything seems weird to you."Yoona sighed. "Like the time when you thought that it is weird for Xing to be such a good cook. Your suspicions about him being a good cook is because you think that he was a lamb in his past life. You don't even make any sense about your assumptions."Yoona continued.
"Good afternoon Sehun!"Taeyeon shouted as Sehun walked down the stairs in his pyjamas. It is already noon and he just woke up. Rubbing his eyes in the process, he responded Taeyeon with a nod and went towards the kitchen. Yixing poured him a glass of water and Sehun drank all of it down without taking a break in the middle.
"You didn't sleep last night?"Yixing asked as he poured Sehun another glass.
"Yeah. Been staying up late to go through the new books that I ordered from Heaven."Sehun replied as he took a seat in front of Sehun.
"What kind of books? Those kinds of devil fictions again?"Luhan asked.
"Non fiction. The title Guardian Angel isn't called dangerous for no reason."Sehun said. "We are not the only ones down here with the humans. There are other creatures hiding in the dark. Creatures that can harm humans. Creatures that can harm us."he continued.
"What do you mean?"Yoona asked as she rested both of her elbows on the surface of the table, trying to pay attention to what the wise angel is saying.
"Trolls, goblins and brownies are living among the humans. They are called Se'irim. But they are not really important."
"Oh. So they won't harm us at all right?"Taeyeon asked.
"No they won't. But as I read deeper, there is an unknown creature. They are demons, they are a part of Se'irim, but they are the most dangerous creatures."Sehun said. "They hide in the shadows. Maybe in this room hearing our conversation."he said. After he said that, they looked around the room for any shadows.
"Do they hide in my shadow?"Luhan asked, pointing at his shadow.
"Maybe."Luhan immediately stood up and moved closer to where Yoona is sitting because there aren't any sunlight to form any shadows. "You can't hide from them forever. Because they can hide in the darkness too."Sehun said again, which made Luhan jumped up from his seat and ran to the sofa where the tv screen is on.
"If they can hide in shadows and the darkness. Does that mean that they don't have any physical form?"Taeyeon asked.
"Correct. But they can reach their physical form if they drain life from their surroundings. It takes a lot for a demon to drain to achieve their physical form. The fastest way for them to achieve it though, involves the angels."Sehun said just in time, Taeyeon's watch rang, reminding her that Baekhyun is going to finish school in half an hour.
"Sorry that I can't stay to hear your findings. Can't be late for the bus."she said as she stood up from the sofa. "Bye everyone."she waved at them as she grabbed her bag on the way to the door.
"What were you going to say just now?"Yoona turned her attention back to Sehun, asking him to continue. Sehun stared longingly at the door Taeyeon just went out from before heaving a heavy sigh. He knows something. And after what he found out about the demons and the existence of them, he is even more worried about Taeyeon, knowing what the demons can do.

Taeyeon has been waiting for more than ten minutes in front of the gates. Baekhyun is usually out by that time, so she was starting to get worried.
"Where is he? Did I miss him just now?"she mumbled, staring at the school from the front gate. She placed one foot on the school grounds and sneaked a glance at the guard house. Luckily for her, the guard was taking a nap inside. She made a run for it into the school , staying low as possible. She hid herself away from the teachers in the parking lot successfully and found her way in the middle of the school. Now she just needs to locate where Baekhyun's class is.
She found his class in the second floor. Shoving her file back into her bag. She walked towards the class at the far end of the floor. She looked through the windows and saw Baekhyun and a few other students in there, sitting at each corner. The door suddenly swung open, causing her to jump away from the window.
Taeyeon cleared her throat as the teacher that just came out from the class stared at her.
"Are you the substitute?"she asked.
Taeyeon was confused but nodded nonetheless.
"Great. I have to rush to the hospital, so you can let the students leave after an hour. Make sure that they finish their assignments before leaving."the teacher said and ran off. Taeyeon smirked because she found a way to get into class without getting kicked out by the teacher. She stepped into the class and looked around. The three students other than Baekhyun looked up and stared at her.
"Wow, Ms. You look very young!"a boy exclaimed and whistled.
"Haha. Yeah, I finished my degree earlier."Taeyeon chuckled awkwardly.
Upon hearing her voice, Baekhyun looked up from the desk. He furrowed his eyebrows, confused about how Taeyeon can find his class and get into his class that easily.
"Please finish your assignments or else you can't leave."she said as she walked towards the back of the class where Baekhyun is sitting. The students were curious about the fake substitute teacher who went straight to Baekhyun as if she knows him, but they didn't bother to ask any questions and looked down to continue with their assignments.
"Wow. You really take stalking into a whole new level."he commented as Taeyeon pulled out the chair beside him and sat down.
"I was waiting for you and you didn't show up."she whispered.
"I didn't ask you to wait for me."he sighed.
"You are in detention right now because you didn't finish your assignment?"she asked, leaning closer to him to take a closer look of the paper on his desk. Baekhyun tilted his head further away as her face is way too close to his. Taeyeon was oblivious about how close her face was and continued to squint her eyes to look at the first paragraph. Baekhyun gave up and handed her the paper to her to read it. "Hmm...I think I can help you with Math. It is just calculating and drawing out the graphs..."she mumbled, staring at the confusing equations in front of her.
"Do you even go to school?"he asked, resting the side of his face on his palm and propping up his head with his elbow for support.
"I don't. But I can try. Do you have your textbook?"she asked and as expected, he shook his head. She groaned and got up from her seat. She went to a girl and asked for a textbook. She came back with a textbook in her hand and a small plastic bag in another. Baekhyun narrowed his eyes at the bag in her left hand. "I got free candy. That nice girl over there gave it to me. Something about her boyfriend breaking up with her and she has no one to give it to."she said as she sat down beside him.
"Good for you."he said.
"Do you know how to do the assignment or are you too lazy to do it?"she turned to him and asked. He shrugged his shoulders in respond. "Why did I even bother to ask?"she rolled her eyes and opened the textbook. "Can you help me to open this?"she handed him a packet of candy. He opened the packet easily and handed it to her.
"Numbers make me dizzy."he mumbled, resting his head on the desk, facing her. She took a jelly bean out from the packet and popped it into her mouth. He stared at her face as she chewed it slowly. Baekhyun's eyes widened, imitating Taeyeon's eyes. He found her expression funny. It's like her first time eating a jelly bean.
"What is this?"she looked at him, pointing at her own mouth.
"A jelly bean?"he guessed. He knows what it is, he just wasn't sure what answer she is looking for.
"It is good."she groaned, earning a light chuckle from Baekhyun.
"You have never eaten a jelly bean before?"
"We don't have this in heaven."she said.
"Ugh...you don't need to use that lie."he said.
"I am not lying."she frowned at him.
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes. Stop it."
"No-"he threw a pink jelly bean into her mouth as it was about to close.
Taeyeon quickly chewed on the jelly bean, scowling at him.
"Stop and continue with the assignment."he pointed at the paper in front of her.
"Fine. But you are going to do the work. I am just going to guide you."she said, getting a few pieces of papers and putting it in front of him. "Where are your stationary?"she asked, knowing that she is not going to get his answer, she stood up and borrowed a few essentials from the teacher's desk.
"I am too lazy to do anything."he stretched his arms.
"Byun Baekhyun."she said sternly, making Baekhyun sit up and look at her. "Your only duty right now is studying and finishing your school task and passing exams. It is your final year here."she said. "You are going to regret it if you don't start now. It isn't too late for you."she continued. Baekhyun grimaced and took out a jelly bean and put it in front of her mouth. "And no, I am not going to be bought over by a jelly bean."she said as she opened her mouth, letting the jelly bean in.
"You can't make me study."he groaned.
"I can and I am not going to give up on you. I am your guardian angel and your well-being affects me."she said, getting serious.
"What do you mean?"he asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
Taeyeon stared at him for a moment, hesitating to tell him about what will happen to her. She decided to hide it from him. She doesn't want to put more pressure on him. She wants him to do well by his own will, not by stress.
"I will be sad. If you don't do well and go down the wrong road."she said. It is partially the truth.
"You will be sad?"he narrowed his eyes at her.
No, I will die.
She nodded, pursing her lips into a straight thin line.
"Now, let's do the assignment."she changed the subject.
