All Chapters of The Labyrinth of Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

   Theodore, the son of King Asmodeus, was an exception in the realm of demons. He looked very soft and pretty as an angel. Despite being a demon, having sweet eyes and a comforting smile was his specialty. He always wore light-colored clothes as he pleased. But when it came to completing his mission, he truly was a demon.    Ten-year-old Theodore was given a mission in the Divine land to collect Moldavites for his spiritual awakening. So, he went to the Divine land to collect the crystal. The Divine land was the border between the demon realm and the angel realm. Since the crystal was green in color, he went near the spring water, hoping to find it. He had a hard time finding it. When he was passing by a big plum tree, he saw the crystal on a leaf of the plum tree. As he reached out his hand to take the crystal, another hand grabbed it.    Theodore was angry. He looked at the boy who was wearing a black outfit and eyeliner on his eyes.

   Theodore and Joseph became best friends as the years passed by. Every free time they would get, they would try to meet each other. Since entering into the opposite realm was difficult, the Divine land was a perfect place for them to meet up, and on top of that, the white plum tree was their favorite place to wait for one another. Even the kings of the two realms had no problem with their sons having a good friendship. They never questioned or stopped them because, for the kings, it was just pure friendship and nothing more.    With time, they even befriended the God of the Divine land, Yuki. It could also be said that it was he who befriended them. They would go over to where Yuki lived and play with him. Yuki would tell them lots of stories about the human realm, and each day they would learn something new. Yuki was very fond of the two princes. And the two boys treated Yuki like their big brother.    It was the day before Theodores'

   After Theodore's birthday, something in the air between Theodore and Joseph shifted. Though Joseph never dared to talk about the kiss he shared with Theodore, he thought about it a lot. He questioned himself if what he did was right or wrong. He was embarrassed for initiating the kiss that day. He was thankful that Theodore never talked about it either. So, he just decided to ignore it. He consoled himself not to think about it too much because it just happened in the heat of the moment.    After the little kiss they shared, they had been undeniably close to each other. As time passed by, Joseph and Theodore became more and more physically close to each other. Holding hands, hugging each other, cuddling with each other, kissing each other on their cheeks, neck, and everything else started to become normal for them. But, the two boys were unaware of the feeling that had been building up inside them.    But, after his birthday, Theodore

   The three friends and their friendships were going at their best. The day of their meeting was fun, relaxing, and calm. Joseph enjoyed every moment of it after clearing all the misunderstandings between the three of them.    But the words Joshua said that day was always roaming around his thoughts. Did Joseph like Theodore in that way? Did he have those types of feelings for Theodore? He was unable to find answers to those questions. He was confused about many things.    It was the day when Joseph was with Yuki studying books about humans in Yuki's library. Joseph was having fun while reading about humans and their realm when he came across a page about LGBTQ+. That topic seemed a little more interesting than anything else to Joseph. So, he read further about it. LGBTQ+ was lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other. Joseph was confused. What did it even mean that people have different types of gender? Weren't there suppose

Three years had passed since Theodore and Joshua left for the human realm. Joseph had finally turned twenty. After Theodore and Joshua left, Joseph was very lonely. No one was there to spend their free time with Joseph. Neither message came for him from the human realm either. So, instead of spending his time crying and thinking about his best friends, Joseph started to train himself harder. Joseph missed Theodore and Joshua very much. Especially Theodore. Joseph was happy that he expressed his love for Theodore, but it was heartbreaking for Joseph to see Theodore go far from him right after the confession. He missed Theodore every day. The memories they made were always on Joseph's mind. Instead of limping because his friends went far away, Joseph decided to complete all his missions and train harder to go to the human realm. All he wanted to do was go there and meet Theodore and Joshua. Joseph wanted to meet and spend time with them. But he was unable to go before he turned t
