The Nightmare
That night, Dahee couldn't sleep but she felt very tired. She tried to keep her eyes open but ended up sleeping like a log.
It's been a long time since she got a deep sleep and stopped worrying about her problem with her brother for a while.
…
"Daejin, you got her location?" Daehyun asked in a worried voice.
"I found it!!" he said and showed Daehyun her location, which was quite weird.
"Isn't this underwater?" Daejin asked and Daehyun widened his eyes. Immediately both of them got to her location and surprisingly, that place was a few meters from a cliff.
"She wouldn't die if she jumped right?" Daejin asked and Daehyun slowly flew to the cliff.
"She wouldn't if she was in demon form…" Daehyun said and it made Daejin panicked.
"She wouldn't jump with a human form right?!" he asked and grabbed Daehyun's collar.
"I don't know…" Daehyun looked like giving up and fell on his knees.
"Argh!! If you didn't let her guard down, this wouldn't happen!!!" he shouted in frustration.
"We don't even know if her body was under the water!" Daehyun is getting more stressed.
Daejin jumped off the cliff and turned into animal form, swimming near to her location. Unfortunately, he can slightly smell her blood and it seems already far from the location.
He remembered that she was injured and tried to think positively that she might swim away with her injuries even if it's not make sense at all.
At the end, Daejin gives up and gets onto the cliff. He looked at Daehyun, who was more surprised than him.
"What happened?" he asked and Daehyun showed the status of Dahee as he used to put a health tracker on her. The heartbeat, lungs, and every organ were stopped immediately and it made Daehyun regret it.
"Idiot! You're an idiot Daehyun!!! " he yelled and was mad at himself, regretting his words and decision that he made.
…
Jihwan was laying down on his bed, don't remember how he ended up letting that demon live with him for a while.
"Am I really crazy?" he said and sighed.
"She's quite fragile to be a demon, I didn't trust her the first time I saw and thought she was an angel…" he becomes confused. Jihwan giggled but kept wondering at the same time. What in his thoughts, only known by him.
The next morning when he woke up and walked to the kitchen, he saw she's wearing an apron and brought two plates of pancake on it.
Dahee was stunned when looked at Jihwan, who stands with messy hair, kinda looks like an emo boy. She was blushing to see he was smiling.
"Morning," he said.
"M-morning…I'm preparing breakfast, let's eat it" she put the plate on the table and poured on some syrup.
"I thought you were gonna burn my kitchen…" he teased.
"Who said that?! I know how to cook okay!" she rolled her eyes.
"Okay, I admitted that…" he chuckled.
Both of them eat with silence and don't feel awkward at all. He then goes to shower and gets ready to go to work.
"I'll get going, don't enter that room" he pointed at the mystery room that was no longer a mystery.
"Yeah yeah, it's not that I can open the door," she said and he walked out giggling.

"Morning hyuk…" Jihwan greeted him.
"Woah, it's very rare for you to greet me in the morning, there's good news?" he asked.
"Not exactly…just getting a new pet…" he grinned.
"A pet? I thought you hate animals?" he asked.
Jihwan leaned in his chair and giggled, "well, this one was a bit different…I'm quite shocked to see it for the first time…" he said.
"What animal is your pet?"
"Take a guess," Jihwan smirked.
"Is it a dog?" Soohyuk asked.
"No…" Jihwan said.
"A cat?" he kept asking.
"No…" Jihwan focused on his paperwork.
"Oh come on! Just tell me what it is!" Soohyun getting impatient.
"It's more like a bird, she has wings," Jihwan said.
"Bird? Parrot?" Soohyuk was confused.
"Umm no, she's smaller…" Jihwan replied.
"Then…a canary!" Soohyuk widened his eyes.
"Y-yeah, it's a canary…" Jihwan can't tell him the truth.
"Then tell me what color it is!"
"Why do you keep busying on my canary huh?" he gets curious about Soohyuk's questions.
"I just want to know! What kind of bird managed to attract Yoon Jihwan who was an animal haters" he slightly hit Jihwan's arms.
"Nah, I still hate animals…" Jihwan smirked.
"But I thought…you said…" he was confused until saw Jihwan's smirked and understand a canary that he meant.
"She's cute?" Soohyuk whispered and Jihwan gave him a death glare.
"Jeez...I'm just kidding…I already got one though, I'll not steal yours" he chuckled.
…
"How was the surgery?" Soomin asked. They were sitting at the table in the cafeteria. Lots of doctors and nurses were resting there but some preferred to stay in their room.
"As good as always…" he smiled.
"Is it always as easy as an ABC?" she teased him.
"Not really but practice makes perfect and I'm talented in it anyway" he giggled.
"You know…it's been a long time since we hung out together, we've been friends for a long time and I've never been in your house before…" she said while stirring the straw in her orange juice glass.
"Well, I used to not have people coming into my house and…I never brought a woman before, that's why…" he said.
"Yeah, I can see that but I'm your friend though! It's not fair that you always come inside my house and I can't!" she whined.
"It's not that I'm the one who wants to go inside your house, you're the one who invited me in" he raised one of his eyebrows.
"Y-yeah, but how do I know that you're a cold ass human who'll not allow any people to get inside your house…" she rolled her eyes.
"You're really good at naming me huh?" he chuckled.
"But that's how I see you duh!" she giggled.
"Since you're very curious about where I live, tomorrow, you can come have dinner in my house~" he invited.
"Seriously?!" she was excited.
"Of course…wait for me tomorrow" he said.
"That'll be no problem!" she smiled.
…
That night, Jihwan went home but he stopped by for a moment at his friend's house.
"Jihwan, come in," his friend said.
"Thanks hyung, it's been a long time since I saw you at the psychologist's departure" he said, then sat on the couch.
"I changed my workplace and always work outside of the office…" his friend said.
"But you still didn't give me any call and never met me," Jihwan said.
"What? Do you already miss me that much?" he teased back.
"Miss my ass…I never told you that I was missing you duh…" Jihwan leaned back and giggled.
"Out of the topic, Soohyuk told me that you're having a canary? Since when you're very interested in animals?" he raised one of his eyebrows.
"Soohyuk can never keep his mouth shut right?" Jihwan looked at him in poker face.
"Well, you know him and he always lets the cat out of the bag…"
"Yes I have a little canary at home, she's cute though…" Jihwan said.
"You know that you should kill less, right? Try to control yourself?" he sipped the tea.
"What's inside me was creepier than you thought…" Jihwan crossed his legs.
"So, when are you gonna invite me in?" he asked.
"I don't know, how about tomorrow?" Jihwan asked.
"Okay…I'll see you at 7pm at your house" he said.
"No problem…but I invited someone else too, better for you to keep it in…" he said.
"Okay…" his friend smiled.
…
"I'm home…" he said, opening the door. Jihwan entered his house to see that it was too silent.
When he walked into the kitchen, he saw Dahee sleeping on the dining table with meals on it.
"Wait for me to have dinner huh?" he giggled.
"Hey~ wake up, you can't sleep here…" he said, waking her.
Dahee rubbed her eyes and saw Jihwan was coming home but she was still half-conscious.
"You…want to eat something? I'll heat up the meals…" she heated up the meals and put it back on the table, having dinner with him.
"How was your day?" she asked.
"Fine, you?" he said.
"Good…I don't know where to go anyway, so I just stay at home," she said.
"You didn't go to the park down there?" he asked.
"No…I don't want people to ask where I live at…" she said.
"Ouh, okay…" he walked away.
That was a quite awkward night as they didn't talk too much, but then Jihwan thought of something while he laid down on his bed.
"I still don't know what her name is…" he mumbled.
"Come to think back, she also doesn't have any cellphone…" he sighed.
…
"Hilux…we got their location…" a man with horns, obviously a demon, said.
"Where?"
"Earth, South Korea, Seoul…" he said.
"Be more specific…Seoul wasn't a small capital," Hilux said.
"Yongsan-gu, she lives in an apartment…with a human guy…" he reported.
"Human guy? Tell me more…" Hilux said finding it was interesting information.
"He's a surgeon at Soonchunhyang hospital…" he said.
"A surgeon? With a demon? Living together? I kinda like this story…find more about them…" Hilux said while caressing his snake (pet).
"Pursuant to the order…" he said and walked out.
"What're you trying to do Daehyun? Putting your beloved sister publicly and unattended~ this is gonna be a fun game~" he smirked.

"Jihwan~ hihi" a woman's voice was echoing in an unknown place.
"Who's there?!" Jihwan called but no one answered and the place was getting silent again.
"Jihwan-ah~ come on~ find me~" her voice was heard again and he didn't know why it made him feel calm and amused.
"Where are you?~" he called back and tried to walk in a random direction.
"Find me if you can~" she said again and it made him confused where the voice was coming from.
"Hey…where are you? I can't find you…" he said and suddenly, someone hugged him from the back.
"Miss me?" she asked.
"I can't see your face and you asked whether I miss you?" he teased and she appeared in front of him.
He was shocked to see Dahee's face in front of him and pissed.
"What the hell! Stay away from me!!" he pushed her.
"W-what do you mean? I thought you missed me?" her eyes were sorrowful.
"I don't know why you're here and be my nightmare but please go, I don't have anything to do with you…you just stay with me to get a full report…" he said and made her heart break.
"But…I love you…" she tried to approach him but he walked backwards and put a cold face towards her.
"Do you hate me that much?" her eyes were glassy and full of tears.
"I don't even know you that much…what do you expect from me?" he said and walked away but immediately, a rock fell in front of him.
He was shocked and turned around to see Dahee wasn't at her place anymore. He's trying to run but it seems that the place is collapsing and he can't find any escape.
Suddenly, a rock falls on his head and he wakes up from that nightmare.
"W-what was that j-just now?" he said, sweating all over his body, for the rest of his life, that was the scariest nightmare he ever had.
Jihwan was getting ready and walked out to see Dahee was preparing breakfast.
"Morning! Let's—" Jihwan cut her words.
"I'm already late, I'll have my breakfast later…" he walked away without even looking at her.
"O…kay…" she half waves at him but their eyes do not even meet "is he got his period or something? Does male human have a period?" she asked herself and just had breakfast alone.Download Novelah App
