Demon Under The Bed

It's midnight and Jihwan was already in a deep sleep while Dahee was rolling under the bed. She used her magic to get rid of a bad aura.
Dahee sighs "I need to make a full report but I don't know what he does up there...what kind of demons that report a human life? This is so ridiculous" she mumbled then fell asleep.
The next morning, she accidentally wakes up due to Jihwan's noise.
"The hell does this human do?!" her heart was shouting but she was shocked to see a droplet of blood fall from up, in front of her eyes. She also saw Jihwan's foot that was already wearing his doctor's outfit.
"Is he dying?" she asked herself and almost crawled out from her hiding place. The smell of blood was too seductive.
She needed to stay away from it but Jihwan was bending over to wipe the blood. Her existence was almost uncovered but luckily, his head was higher than the bed level.
Then, Jihwan went to work. Dahee then looked for something but the house was just the same as when she checked it for the first time.
"I bet he's a psycho doctor!" she sighed "I sighed too much this lately..." Dahee then walked out from the house but accidentally bumped into a neighbour from the next door.
"Ouh! I'm sorry!" An old lady said.
"No, it's okay~" she replied.
"Are you Jihwan's wife?" she asked.
"Pardon me?" she didn't get what the old lady said.
"Are you by chance Jihwan's wife?" she asked again.
"So, this human's name was Jihwan..." her heart whispered.
"Umm...k-kinda~" she replied in an awkward face, she can't tell the truth or the task given will fail successfully.
"He finally got a partner~" the old lady said happily.
"He never got a girlfriend?" Dahee asked.
"Jihwan was a nice guy but he's too busy to even get a girlfriend, he also looked like my son that I cared about very much~" she said and Dahee was touched by her words.
"You're lucky to have him~ he's so caring and I'm sure you'll be happy living with him" she said and Dahee just smiled.
...
Dahee walked down the street and got a drink cause she needed normal food because of the damn human form.
"Thank you and come again!" a woman said and Dahee just walked out from the store.
"Umm~~ it tastes good though, a boba green tea. I should get this kind of drink more often but it'll be troublesome to be in this human form that weak" she mumbled.
...
"Doctor..." a nurse called Jihwan that accidentally zoned out during the surgery.
"Ah yes?!" he said.
"The patient..." the surgeons looked at Jihwan and they continued the operation.
"Are you okay, Jihwan?" Soomin, one of Jihwan's close friends and a popular surgeon in South Korea. She's very caring about Jihwan and never seen him this disturbing before.
"Yeah, I'm fine..." he said and just walked away.
"Hey..." Soomin stopped him by his shoulder.
"You know that you can tell me your problems right?" she continued.
"Yeah, thanks but I'm just not in the mood today" he said and walked into his room.
He sighed and sat in the chair. Soohyuk wasn't here today as he got outstation in Europe. Why did he feel everything was messing up today? Has he already run out of blood?
Whatever the matter, he needs to meet Sangcheol before this matter gets serious.
Jihwan was walking down the lobby until he saw a woman that had shoulder level maroon-brownish hair. He doesn't know why he gets attracted to random people all of a sudden.
She's walking past him and an unknown aura can be felt until he grabs her arms in a very fast movement.
Their eyes meet and Jihwan never knows why her eyes were familiar. He knew that he had seen that face somewhere.
"Uh!? I-I'm sorry, I thought you're someone else" he said and let go of her arms.
She didn't say anything and just lowered her head. Jihwan also got nothing left to say and just walked away.
"That's him..." Dahee said and clenched her arms that Jihwan was holding just now.
At the same time, one pair of eyes watching from afar "who's that woman?" a few questions come up in that mind.
Dahee was still stunned on where she stands and realized she needed to follow him.
"What a good appearance guy he is..." her heart whispered together beating as she was trying to chase him.
"Who's that woman?" Jihwan mumbled while walking to the cafeteria.
"But..." Dahee stopped and started thinking.
"Cause..." Jihwan stopped and recapped his memory.
"That face looks familiar and I can't get my eyes off it" the two hearts that say the same thing, can it be fate? Human and demon, different dimensions and lifestyle.
Dahee thought of chasing him from behind but she decided to stop and just look at him from far.
Meanwhile Jihwan was zoning out at the cafeteria's table and just realized his lunch time was almost over.

"So Dahee goes to earth by herself?!" said a guy named Kim Daejin, The Demon Of Wrath or Anger, also the 2nd big brother of Dahee.
"Kinda..." Daehyun answered in calm.
"Aren't you worried?!!" Daejin slammed the table.
"Do I look like that?" he asked.
"You're cruel!!!" he yelled.
"We're not angels though..." Daehyun smirked.
"But at least give her protection, don't you know how much destruction she can do if the humans attack her!" Daejin said.
"You should be worried that she'll return with a human brother-in-law instead,"
"Brother-in-law?! Human!? I'm not gonna allow that!" Daejin slammed the door and walked to the living room.
While walking down, someone was approaching him but he looks more scary than facing a lion by yourself
"Hey bruh-" Hyunwoo, a Demon Of Greedy.
"Don't touch me!" he scolded him and walked out.
"Woah- that's a lot of nerve~" Hyunwoo chuckled.
"It's not like we don't know Dae, he used to worry very much about his sister, Dahee," said Sangcheol, a Demon of Sloth.
"Yeah but it's not that she's still a baby~" Hyunwoo continued.
"Nothing can stop him, just go along with it," Sangcheol said with his sleepy eyes.
Hyunwoo then zoned out until he remembered about Sehyuk hyung, a Demon of Pride.
"Hey! What if we go find Sehyuk! It's been a long time since he's been on earth, right?! He also didn't know that Dahee was on earth! Let's go visit them!" Hyunwoo said in excitement.
"I'm lazy..." a simple answer that a demon of sloth will say.
"I don't care!! Let's go!...Come on Sangcheol-ah~" he said, hugging him from behind.
"Stay away aish!!! Fine! But just for a while...we're just gonna visit Sehyuk hyung and look for Dahee" he finally stood on his feet.
"Yes! Let's go!! I can't wait anymore!!" Hyunwoo grabbed his arms and they walked out.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk was walking at the park near to a hospital until he saw someone that's never changed.
"Dahee!" he called and waved at her.
Dahee looked around to see a person who called her until she saw Sehyuk who was waiting for her at the other side of the street.
She crossed the road and faced him after a few years of not meeting.
"Dahee?" Sehyuk asked to confirm.
"Yeah Sehyuk oppa...it's me!" she smiled.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm doing good here~ doing some reports about humans!" she said.
"Doing reports about humans? Who's the person though?"
"Umm, if I'm not mistaken, his name was Jihwan!"
"Jihwan? Why did I feel familiar with that name?" he said.
"Right?! I also felt familiar but had no idea who he..." she said.
Sehyuk looked at Dahee again and felt a stronger aura come from her.
"Dahee, you're not taking any red potions right?" he asked in curiosity.
"Red potions? No...I'm not allowed to take it actually cause Daehyun oppa said that it'll burden my heart and it's more like a poison for me" she explained.
"I see..." Sehyuk nodded.
Both of them took a few walks around the park and talked happily.
"By the way, can you show me where the human's house is?" he asked.
"Why?" she becomes confused.
"I'm...just curious..." he smiled.
"Okay, but I can just bring you to the window only or people can see us, I can't bring you in..." Dahee said and Sehyuk just nodded, hearing her advice.
...
Once they reached the back window where it connected to Jihwan's bedroom, Sehyuk and Dahee changed into demon form and looked through the tinted window using their demonic eyes.
The house was about at 20th level of the condominium and it's a bit hideous from another building, most of the owners of the house near Jihwan's window, close their window with curtains.
Dahee and Sehyuk looking through the window and some of the doors like the bathroom, another bedroom and living room can be seen through with their eyes but only that room can't.
"What's inside that room next to the bathroom?" Sehyuk asked.
"I don't know, when I try to open the door, it can't be opened even using the strongest power of mine," she said and it made Sehyuk frown.
Both of them looked from the window even though they couldn't watch inside the house in detail, at least Dahee showed it to Sehyuk.
"Where do you usually hide?" he asked.
"Under his bed!" she said and Sehyuk laughed.
"What?!" Dahee said.
"Under the bed?" he burst into laughter.
"Yeah! I mean...where is another place that I can hide and watch him in a very close view, except under the bed" she said proudly.
"So you're trying to make the folklore turned to reality?" he laughed non stop even though Dahee told him to stop because felt embarrassed.
"It's not that you can find a better place!" she said embarrassed.
"Who said? I just can be his friend or turn into animal form to sneak into his house" he said.
"Wait a minute!? You can turn yourself into animal form?" she asked in surprise.
"Who can't? Every demon can do that, even angels...don't tell me that you can't do that?" he teased her.
"Hey! It's not that I can't do it, just that I have never been taught to do that kind of form..." she said honestly.
"Daehyun hyung didn't teach you?" Sehyuk frowned again and Dahee nodded innocently.
"What a terrible brother he is...can't even teach a basic lesson to his sister," he said.
"Then, can you teach me?!" Dahee's eyes are shining.
"Umm, it's not that I can't, just..." he stopped.
"Oh come on!! It's a basic lesson you said! It must be easy right?!" she insisted.
"No...it used to be a basic and simple lesson but for low-level demons like when you're under age but for intermediate like you...it'll be a bit of trouble because the ability was messing up with other abilities of yours" he explained.
"What mess up?" she asked.
"This is basic that needs to be upgraded with the correct timing...because of that, we teach most of the low-level to master this kind of ability...but if we look back at the level that you need to reach, it'll be more like a burden to your body and mind," he ended.
"Then...I can't have that ability anymore?"
"It's not that you can't, but you need to take the risk or learn from the start and struggle with another level of your abilities and powers," he said.
Dahee stopped and thought of what choice she's gonna make.
5 minutes later...
"Okay! I've decided!" she said confidently.
"I'll take the risk!" she said and it made Sehyuk widen his eyes.
