Dahyun had a million thoughts bombarding her mind as she was forced to follow behind the fast-paced demi-demon.

Not once did Momo turn back to look at the panicking human, whose hand was still firmly grasped onto by her own.

They somehow made their way to Chaeyoung’s usual hideout, and thankfully this time it was truly empty without the disturbance of Mina’s bodyguard.

The poor guy should still be recovering from the deadly blow.                     

He might’ve resigned after getting beaten up by the person who he was trying to protect.

As soon as they approached the single bench within the small garden, Momo swung the petite student forward and forced her to sit down.

Dahyun finally got the chance to take a look at Momo’s face- which expressed mixed emotions that she couldn’t really decipher properly.

All the human knew was that she was almost pissing herself from being anxious, scared and confused all at the same time.

She has yet to forget Momo’s eyes when Nayeon pissed her off.

The poor host honestly thought she had to call 119 for a murder case despite how she’d have to explain to the officers that a demi-demon had killed a witch in her living room.

Thankfully it didn’t happen and she was spared from getting thrown into a mental asylum.

“Dahyun-ah.”

“Y-YES?!”

Momo couldn’t help but to snicker from the déjà vu.

Dahyun didn’t even have to try to get her laughing despite the solemn mood she was just in.

Chaeyoung’s plan really did work- the demi-demon was incredibly jealous and upset.

It was mainly due how her best friend played along.

Momo wasn’t dumb, no matter how big of an air-head she may seem to be.

She knew about the cheeky girls’ plans as soon as Dahyun forced herself to flirt with Mina.

The flustered human was incredibly easy to read-

Oh, and demons also had the ability to read minds.

Welp.

Still, she didn’t have to use her powers to tell how staged it was.

Since Mina was the first to know about her crush on the precious human being, Momo felt incredibly hurt when her friend seemed to be flirting with Dahyun right in front of her face.

Of course, Momo knew she was just teasing along with the duo and that Mina wouldn’t ever dare to seduce her crush for real, yet it was still too much for her to withstand.

Just the thought of Dahyun falling for someone else- especially her own best friend- made her heart ache to the point she had to leave the scene.

She was a little confused herself to why she had dragged Dahyun with her though.

Yet since it had already been done and they were already alone in a random garden within the campus, Momo thought that she could use this as her chance.

A chance to make up for her past failure.

The failure which was caused by her own cowardly self.

“Sorry- for forcing you to leave with me.” Momo rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment. “You didn’t even get to bring your stuff with you.”

“I uh- it’s okay. Chaeyoung should be nice enough to hold onto them for me. If not, I can just kick her later.” Dahyun laughed nervously. “But um… is everything alright, Momo-sshi?”

“You call Minari ‘unnie’, but you call me ‘Momo-sshi’?”

“Oh.” Dahyun blinked rapidly, “I-I mean, if you’re okay with it… I can a-also call you ‘unnie’…” the human became a stuttering mess, triggering the butterflies within Momo’s stomach.

The way her shyness added the pink hue into her pale skin colour.

How her eyes were looking everywhere but Momo.

She was too adorable for the demi-demon to resist.

“Yes, I’d like that. A lot.” Momo ultimately answered with a big grin.

“O-Okay…” Dahyun continued to blink with pink cheeks, knowing what the girl before her was waiting for.

She had to take a deep breathe before she was capable of speaking up again.

“M-M-Momo-unnie…”

The supernatural being stared at the flustered student for ten whole seconds, simply taking her time to enjoy the sound of Dahyun’s voice calling her name ever so sweetly.

Silence surrounded them as Dahyun was waiting for her crush to speak while being too shy to talk herself.

The university junior wasn’t expecting for her body to be embraced by another though.

She felt her heartbeat picking up its pace as Momo’s aroma filled up her nostrils.

Being this close to her, the female’s scent was incredibly strong.

It made the younger girl’s head spin.

She was in pure bliss.

“You’re too cute, Dahyun-ah…” Momo breathed into her ears unintentionally, resulting the human to shudder from the sensation. “Why didn’t you approach me? I’ve been waiting for you for so long…”

“H-Huh?” Dahyun pulled away in confusion, only to find herself blushing from the way Momo was staring into her eyes.

The demi-demon was looking as if Dahyun was a full course meal from a 5-star restaurant.

Up until now, Kim Dahyun had forgotten the fact that Momo had feelings for her too.

She had been so caught up with the mess within her mind to recall Mina’s snitching moment-

Well, and also due to the fact that it all seemed too good to be true.

To be the one out of 1500 students.

To catch the attention of a stunning idol when she was merely a music nerd.

Dahyun then started doubting everything.

What if Mina was not as nice as she seemed, and was pranking her all along?

What if Momo didn’t have romantic feelings for her after all?

What if she got set up to embarrass herself in front of her crush?

No matter how hard she thought about it, it just seemed impossible for the demi-demon to be in love with her-

Despite the look of her eyes that she was showing Dahyun directly.

Maybe she was actually hungry again and Dahyun was about to get eaten alive as her dessert, who knows?

Even if it was true and Momo did have feelings for her too, how on Earth did she obtain such luck?

Did she trade her soul to the Devil without her own knowledge?

Was this actually all just a nice dream?

What if Dahyun suddenly woke up and it was the night before Halloween again…?

Of course the not.

The author doesn’t want to end up getting murdered and meeting Sana and Tzuyu in the spirit world just yet.

Not when someone had already threatened to bring out their inner Liam Neeson after ending a chapter with the ghosts’ sad backstory.

No thank you.

But Dahyun really didn’t want to be let down.

She shouldn’t hold such high expectations.

She’d only get her heart broken.

She must prepare for the absolute wor-

“Dahyun-ah, didn’t I tell you to find me so I could say I like you again?”

The shorter student froze on the spot, not sure whether she was merely hallucinating or whether her ears were truly damaged from all the screams and shouts she had to endure from her two rowdy friends for so many years.

“I… you were drunk though, Momo-unnie…” Dahyun mumbled slowly, still dumbstruck from her own situation.

Momo reached out her hands and squished the pale girl’s cheeks, finally accomplishing that wish of hers.

Her cheeks were just as soft as she had imagined them to be.

“So? I wasn’t one of the people who chugged down the rest of the bottles.” Momo tilted her head. “I was quite tipsy from the drinks I had, but I can remember everything just fine.”

“So… that wasn’t drunk talk…”

“It wasn’t.”

“And Mina-unnie was telling the truth…”

“Yes she- wait, what?” Momo’s eyes widened in shock.

Dahyun gulped from the slip of her tongue.

Momo had now crossed her arms as she waited for a well-deserved explanation.

All Dahyun could do was to smile back at her sheepishly.

“Kim Dahyun… how long have you known about my feelings...?”

“… Ever since the day after you had dropped by and helped us with our project…?”

“YOU’RE SO MEAN!!!” Momo whined loudly as she covered her face with both palms.

Dahyun had no idea what to do.

All she knew was that the demi-demon was extremely cute when flustered-

But don’t get on her bad side.

Her angry face cannot be described as cute.

Rather, it can be described as ‘pants-sh*ttingly terrifying’.

Dahyun felt a sense of guilt creeping up to her for hiding her knowledge away from her for so long.

Now that she thought about it, if Momo had known her feelings all this time and didn’t say nor do anything about it, Dahyun would probably combust on the spot out of embarrassment.

That was probably why Momo’s ears were burning red too.

“I-I’m sorry, unnie!” Dahyun hesitantly wrapped her arms around Momo’s waist, trying her best to express her apology. “M-Mina-unnie was just worried about how Chaeyoung and I were avoiding you at first, so she approached me with the truth. I simply didn’t dare to do anything about it because…”

Momo peeked through her fingers as Dahyun’s voice disappeared.

The demi-demon noticed how bashful the small human was now.

She wanted to pull her into another embrace, yet she still didn’t want to forgive her for hiding away her knowledge of her feelings.

Momo was indeed embarrassed from knowing the fact.

If she could, she’d like to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself inside until she naturally decomposes-

Well, she was in luck.

Kinda.

Momo suddenly took notice of an unnatural circular hole on the concrete floor- something Chaeyoung should know of- making her approach it without a word.

Dahyun simply watched as her crush stared at the random hole.

The demi-demon then laid herself down onto the ground and stuffed her head right inside, causing Dahyun to let out a shriek before rushing over.

“W-What are you doing, unnie?!”

“Bury me, Dahyun-ah. I’m ready to die now.”

“What are you saying- please get your head out of that weird hole!”

“I’d like to join Sana-chan and Chewy in their world. I can’t live on like this anymore.”

“Of course you can- wait, you call her Chewy too?”

“Chewy can teach me the ways of being a ghost and Sana-chan can chat with me in our mother-tongue.”

“You’re making zero sense- but please get up, Momo-unnie!” Dahyun pulled Momo’s arms with all her might, finally making her budge.

With effort, she managed to pull the older female back onto her feet before tidying up the girl’s hair for her.

Momo closed her eyes as she enjoyed every single touch of Dahyun’s delicate fingers.

“Why on Earth would there be a perfectly head-sized hole on the ground…” Dahyun muttered to herself as she finished, her gaze slowly lowering down from Momo’s hair to her eyes.

Of course, they both blushed from the sudden eye-contact.

Dahyun quickly took step back and retreated her hand away from Momo’s face, but Momo’s speed was faster.

She had grasped onto the pale girl’s hand and held it firmly within hers, her gaze staring into Dahyun’s without faltering.

Her sudden boldness made the human gulp in nervousness.

She was also trying her best not to stare at the demi-demon’s tempting lips.

With Momo them right then, it wasn’t really helping.

“Dahyun-ah.”

“Y-Yes…?”

Momo took a step forward to make up for the step Dahyun took back.

Her hands held onto the human’s tightly so that she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.

Momo was determined to get this over with.

There was no going back.

Not when Mina had already exposed her gay a long time ago.

Momo also found herself gulping before she could continue.

Her heart was thumping at an extraordinarily fast pace.

Her toned body trembled from the adrenaline.

“I-”

“Yah Dahyun-unnie! How the heck did you find my secret hiding spot, and why did you abandon your sh*t ba-”

Chaeyoung had started shouting after seeing her friend’s small head from afar.

Unfortunately, thanks to the tall bushes and trees within the garden blocking the other girl from her sight, she failed to realise that Momo was also present-

And it was far too late when she found out.

Momo was already glaring at her while Dahyun blinked at her rapidly, possibly praying for her life.

The demi-demon released Dahyun’s hand and approached the now-trembling Son Chaeyoung.

Momo placed a hand onto the girl’s wide shoulder, staring straight into the tiny girl’s eyes while hers turned bright red.

“Go confess to Minari with a sumo tackle.”

Chaeyoung’s eyeballs became red within a single second before she obediently walked away without another word.

Dahyun stared on with confusion as she noticed her best friend’s weird behaviour.

She couldn’t help but to ask about it when Momo had returned to her side.

“What was that…?”

“Mind control.” Momo merely shrugged, resulting Dahyun’s jaws to drop down.

“You brainwashed her?!”

“Yeah. She has been making Minari wait for too long anyways.” the demi-demon raised her hand and stoked Dahyun’s cheek gently. “Just like you.”

The timid human felt her whole body burning up, yet she didn’t know what to do.

Her brain and body automatically froze upon Momo’s magical touch, resulting her to simply stand there with still dangling open like an idiot.

“Dahyun-ah.”

“Y-Yes…?”

Momo chuckled as they returned right back to where they were before Chaeyoung’s interruption.

But this time she was determined to do the deed.

She can sense the ending to all these unnecessary repeating conversations-

Because Chaeyoung didn’t have a clone to interrupt them again.

Holding onto Dahyun’s wrist with one hand, the other pulled the short female closer towards herself by the waist.

Momo smiled shyly as she locked eyes with the person she treasured.

The adorable female who made her heart beat like no other.

The girl who made her feel more like her human side than her demon side.

“I like you, Dahyunnie. And I’m completely sober this time.”
