Jisung fell to the floor with a thud. He was lying on his stomach now, staring under the bed. The growling got louder as another hand reached from beneath the bed and grabbed his other arm—it pulled him slowly toward itself.

He was greeted by two shining black eyes as he got pulled closer and closer, and he could now feel its icy cold breath on his face.

He smiled softly, "Are you my roommate?"

It loosened its grip on him suddenly and the growling stopped. He stared under the bed to try and see who's under it. "I've never had a roommate before."

"I-I'm not your roommate." The voice was low and husky. It cleared its throat. "I'm the demon that haunts this house."

"Oh. But you live with me, so that still makes you my roommate."

"What? No. That's not how this works."

"If you live here... and I live here... that makes us roommates!" He squealed. "I'm pretty sure that that is how it works."

The demon pushed him back, and he slid across the room on his stomach, his feet hitting the wall behind him with a soft thud. The demon flew from beneath the bed and stood in front of the window.

Jisung watched him as he looked outside. The rain was still pouring and with every flash of lightning, he started to slowly make out the tiny details about his new housemate.

He didn't look scary as he sounded. He was actually kind of... cute. His hair was dark and wispy. He was tall and his shoulders were broad. He could only see his side profile, but he was instantly fond of the demon's plump lips.

"You're supposed to be running away right now—screaming." The demon said in a soft tone, drawing Jisung out of his thoughts.

He shrugged. "Surprisingly, that's not the first time I've heard of that. I'm Jisung, what's your name?" He asked, and the demon growled at him once again.

"If we're going to be roommates, I think we should atleast know each other's names."

"Stop that," the demon said firmly. They bickered back and forth for hours, but Jisung eventually came to find out that the demon's name was Minho.

"Wow. Even your name sounds handsome," he chuckled.

"Oh come on. Fucking shut up now."
