Chen had never feared beings that were rumored to be immortal—at least, not like you did.

Beings that haunted the night and lured humans in, just to feast on them afterward.

Beings that were creatures of darkness and subordinates of the shadows that surrounded the city of Abrahill at night.

Chen knew how restless you became whenever you encountered one of these beings. He hated it. He craved to protect you, to keep you close at all times.

So, he learned how to become a demon's biggest nightmare. He learned how to become a demon hunter, just so he could protect you from harm. It was all for you.

You had a habit of watching the stars at night, finding them to be the most beautiful thing you had ever seen.

But going out at night was dangerous. So, Chen insisted on moving in together with you. He would ensure your safety.

Even now, as the day slowly came to an end, Chen could already see you sitting on the balcony and looking up at the setting sun.

Making his way out, he sat down next to you. However, his gaze never left your face, for he always found you to be more beautiful than any star in the sky.

"You're still stuck on your habit of watching the stars, huh?" he chuckled softly before continuing, "It's adorable. In a way."
