-Your Pov-

I sat quietly outside on the veranda, just staring at the entrance gate…I have been for more then 3 hours.

Why was I doing this? Because…

A chuckle caught my attention as I smiled up at the owner of the voice

‘Annyeong Unni’ I beamed at her

Jihyo smiled and sat down beside me ‘waiting patiently for him are you?’ she stated rather then questioning

I nod happily and turned my attention back to the gate. Hoping that anytime soon, Jaejoong would walk through that gate. Jaejoong was still a Student, a student at a university and he had regular classes everyday, and doesn’t come to the shop till it was around noon.

‘The bond between you two seems to be close in a short time’ she commented

I smiled and nod ‘it appears so.’ I agreed ‘seems like I miss him very easily as well.’

Another chuckle escaped Jihyo’s lips ‘ And you are bored too without him, correct?’ she questioned

I nod ‘Neh. Very bored ‘ I said with a small pout

‘Why not go with him’ she stated

My head snapped turning towards Jihyo’s direction, a huge smile lacing on my lips ‘you mean…’ I started with hope

Jihyo chuckled and patted my head ‘Why not?’ she stated ‘I’ll arrange everything. Just be prepared by tomorrow.’

I let out a joyous squeal and hugged her tightly ‘Thank you Unni!’ I gleefully thanked

-Jihyo Pov-

Patting Byul’s head and returning her thankful embrace, a smirk laced on my lips

‘hmm I wonder how Jaejoong would take it.’ I thought curiously

‘Unni, I’ll call Jaejoong and tell him!’ Byul beamed eagerly

I laughed at her cuteness, while shaking my head ‘Ani, let’s leave it as a surprise for tomorrow’ I said

Byul thought about it for a second before nodding agreeing ‘He’ll be so happy and surprised!’ she said with a bright smile

Oh yes…definitely surprised.

-Jaejoong Pov-

I can’t believe this is happening. This must be some cruel dream.

Slap

‘ouch…okay this is not a dream’ I muttered rubbing my sore cheek

‘Joongie why did you slap yourself?’ the most annoying voice questioned me

‘Don’t say a word.’ I hissed angrily

Here I am…walking to my University…with the world’s most annoying and irritating inhuman girl…Byul.

How did this happen? Even till now I don’t want to remember or the fact that I can’t forget it.

-Flash Back-

After returning from my classes at Uni, I stop by at Jihyo’s shop, to do my work or more like house choruses.

Just a single step set through the front gate, I was already being tackled into a bear hug.

‘WELCOME BACK JOONGIE!’ Byul beamed loudly

My eyes twitched ‘get off me.’ I said annoyed

Byul grinned and did as I told

‘Pali! Pali! Make something for me to eat!’ She said, pulling me inside the shop.

On the way the twins and Max greeted me which I returned

 ‘Ah you’re here. Now please get started on the food before this shop becomes a grave.’ Jihyo said waving her hand telling me to quickly cook.

‘Is that all you think about?’ I questioned annoyed

‘Well that’s what your only useful for is it not?’ Jihyo mocked with a smirk

Opening my mouth I was about to throw a tantrum…

‘Joongie I want Kimchi stew!’ Byul said

‘I made that yesterday!’ I stated

‘That’s yesterday, today is today!’ Byul said grinning

I groaned and made my way to the kitchen

‘What am I their slave!?’ I thought angrily.

-Dinner-

‘Ah Jaejoong, I need you to stop by before tomorrow your classes.’ Jihyo said

I stopped eating giving her a questioning look ‘huh? What for?” I asked

A smirk came onto her face…which worried me ‘you’ll know when you come.’ She said

‘tsk and if I don’t?’ I questioned

Byul grinned ‘the spirits will eat you.’ She beamed

 I shot her a glare ‘Stop using my problem against me!’ I snapped

‘We’ll be expecting you here early in the morning then’ Jihyo said smiling

Do these people even listen to me?!

-Next Morning-

‘Here I am. So what is it?’ I asked with arms crossed

Jihyo looked at me and a sly smile came on to her face ‘Byul will be attending the same University as You. As well as for the course and all activities.’ She stated

Did I hear this right.

‘Can you repeat that?’ I asked

‘I’M GOING TO SCHOOL WITH JOONGIE!’ Byul shouted happily appearing out of no where beside me

‘WHAT?!’ I exclaimed in complete shock

Jihyo grinned ‘Great isn’t it?’ she beamed ‘now off you two go, before your late.’

‘B-But..’ I stuttered unable to let the whole idea sink in

‘Have fun Byul~’ Max grinned

‘Make lots of friends!!’ Junsu beamed

‘Pay attention to your classes!’ Micky grinned

Byul grinned ‘I sure will!’ she happily replied and dragged me out.

-End Flash Back-

I groaned for the 100^th time just from remembering it.

‘Joongie is it fun?’ Byul asked me

‘What’s fun?’ I replied bitterly

‘Well Uni of course.’ She said

‘I guess.’ I replied

Glancing at her from the corner of my eyes, I could see that she was happy and very overly excited.

 ‘Geez has she never gone to School or something before?’ I thought

As if she had read my mind, a warm smile came on to her face.

‘This is my first time ever to have done something like this’ she said

I gave her a confused look ‘what do you mean?’ I asked

‘I rarely get to leave the shop…well it’s more like there’s anyone that’s bothered to leave the shop and take me out.’ She explained

I raised a brow at her ‘you make it sound like you’re a prisoner there or something.’ I stated

She chuckled ‘it’s a curse.’ She said

This time I turned to look at her, giving my full attention…because I was curious.

‘Curse? Your cursed?’ I asked

She nod ‘Neh. I can’t leave the shop unless I am with someone that I have a really close bond to.’ She explained

‘And what if you don’t?’ I asked

‘I lose a feather’ She stated

I gave her a funny look ‘a feather?’ I questioned ‘geez don’t tell me you’re an angel or something. Course your definitely not one.’

‘Oh I’m a demon’ She beamed happily

I stopped completely in my tracks…

‘YOU’RE A WHAT?!’ I exclaimed in shock

She let out a laugh as if it was not a serious matter ‘A Demon.’ She repeated

My mouth dropped ‘D-DEMON?!’ I shouted

‘Yep.’ She grinned

Oh my F***en God…how in the world is staying with a demon any better then being eaten by those spirits?

‘Not all demons are how they say in stories you know.’ She said reading my thoughts once again ‘those are just to scare little kids.’

‘So your telling me demon can actually be good?’ I asked

She gave me a funny look ‘you don’t see me torturing your life do you?’ she stated sarcastically

My eyes twitched ‘ NOT TORTURING?!’ I shouted annoyed ‘I’M BEEN BOSSED AROUND AND TREATED AS A SLAVE!’

‘Well you can’t blame me, when that’s apart of your payment. you’re the one who’ve decided on it.’ She retorted with a grin

I can never win against this girl…

Or should I say a demon.

-Your Pov-

I stared in awe, looking at the building before me.

‘Whoa it’s big and pretty’ I said smiling

Without even looking at Jaejoong, I knew he was rolling his eyes.

‘C’mon we’re going to be late.’ He said and continued walking

Happily I caught up with him and clung on to his arm, earning a surprised squeal and surprised look from him

‘Y-Yah! W-What are you doing?’ He asked surprised ‘Your gonna give people the wrong idea.’

I grinned ‘Well I wouldn’t want to get lost. It would be a very dangerous matter for the both of us.’ She stated ‘Beside what idea could it ever give anyone?’

I heard Jaejoong grumbled some words but kept walking. Inside the building I was more in awe, at the same time was I was greatly happy and excited to be able ‘to do what normal people’ do.

‘This is the classroom…’ Jaejoong said when we both stopped in front of a door.

I nod ‘do we go in, now?’ I asked

However before Jaejoong could answer me, there was a female voice that greeted him, which instantly caught his attention and interest. His mood was a complete 360 turn…which amazed me.

‘GOOD MORNING DAMBI-AH~’ He greeted her very brightly

It was a complete difference towards me. I looked at the girl, and my eyes narrowed.

‘Her aura… ‘ I noted down mentally ‘ That’s unexpected…’

But my thoughts were cut short when I felt eyes staring at me, easily I meet eyes with that person…and that person was a male who stood behind the girl.

‘Another unexpected thing…’ I noted looking at the guy.

The girl’s eyes turned to me and a wide smile appeared on her face ‘Hi! Are you new?’ she asked

I smiled and nod ‘Neh.’ I replied ‘I see we’ll be classmates. I’m Song Ki Byul. But just Byul is fine.’

‘I’m Som Dambi, but also no need to be formal.’ She said happily

‘Very happy to have such an Aura’ I commented mentally.

My eyes turned to the male next to her, waiting for his introduction.

‘Jung Yunho.’ He said

I smiled ‘You have interesting friends Joongie.’ I commented

Jaejoong frowned ‘That is not my friend.’ He argued glaring at Yunho

I laughed ‘Enemies are the closest friends you’ll have’ I stated

‘tsk, whatever.’ He snorted

Dambi smiled brightly ‘i know we’ll be great friends, Byul-ah’ she beamed

I smiled and nod ‘Neh.’ I said

‘Yes it’ll be very interesting.’ I thought

‘NO!’ Jaejoong suddenly snapped ‘YOU CAN NOT BE CLOSE TO SOMEONE LIKE HER!’

I raised a brow at him before a sly smirk was printed on my face ‘Ah never knew you were the very possessive type Joongie.’ I teased looking at him and turn back to the others ‘Sorry about him, his like that because his my playmate.’

Jaejoong gasped, eyes wide and jaws dropped open widely. Yunho eyes widened slightly also amused before that changed into a smirk.

Dambi grasped but then a big smile appeared on her face ‘Never knew you guys have such a close relationship. That’s great!’ she complimented

I laughed out of further amazement that I felt as I never knew it was possible for Jaejoong’s face to look any more shock then he could of…

I grinned ‘Yes, We’ll surely get along well Dambi. As long as you don’t touch Jaejoong, then we’ll be just fine.’ I said but with a hidden meaning behind my words

However it didn’t seem like she had caught it and was giggling like it was a joke.

‘YAH! I’M NOT YOUR TOY!’ Jaejoong shouted angrily, which earned many funny looks as well as a look of shock from bystanders

Seeing the attention he had attracted on to himself, his face burned red from embarrassment.

I laughed louder at this, Yunho chuckled also finding Jaejoong’s reaction funny.

‘GRRR LET’S JUST GET INTO CLASS!’ He said angrily and stomp into the class.

Dambi gigged following behind Jaejoong, Yunho was about to head in, but before so he looked back at me with a small smile.

‘We’ll get along very well’ Yunho stated

I chuckled and nod ‘Neh. We seem to have the same joy.’ I commented earning another chuckle.

Yunho turned back and went in, I followed behind him.

‘This will be indeed interesting’ I thought

Stepping in, I observed the interior of the class, there were many layers of rows of desks. My eyes searched for Jaejoong, who seemed very happy to have gotten a seat next to Dambi and seeing the other seat beside that was free, I went and sat there. Yunho sat in front of me.

‘Joongie.’ I called Jaejoong, getting his attention ‘don’t get too close to other girls when I’m around. You won’t like the results of it.’

‘Are you threatening me?’ He questioned

I smirked ‘it is however you take it. But keep my words in mind.’ I said ‘that especially applies to Dambi’

His eyes widened ‘W-Why her?!’ he gasped

 ‘Because, I say so. It’s for your own good.’ I stated serious in my words with meaning in them

Jaejoong glared at me, not liking what I had said to him ‘you can’t make me’ he whispered

‘Neh, I can’t. But do think of the consequences if you don’t take my words in mind’ I said wisely

‘Don’t you dare think of hurting Dambi’ he hissed glaring harder at me

I let out a sigh ‘ One day you will be able to see clearer and understand further.’ I commented and then faced the front.

I felt Jaejoong’s glare was still on me for another few seconds before it was adverted away.  

Unknowingly, there was an unpleasant feeling I felt in my chest, that I had got from Jaejoong’s angry glare and his accusing. This glare was different from his other ones  that I had many times received, those weren’t sincere, hateful or held threat warnings…but this time it did.

An elder man came in, and this caused all the attending people in their seats to become quiet, who I believe to be the professor or the teacher.

‘I believe today we have a new student.’ The professor said ‘Please stand up and introduce yourself to the class.’

I stood up and smiled brightly ‘Annyeong, My name is Song Ki Byul. I hope we’ll all get along well.’ I introduced and sat back down.

I was welcomed and greeted by many as well as by the professor before the lesson began.

- Break Time -

A large grin was stuck on my face while walking through the hallway with my arm completely clung onto Jaejoong’s arm, Dambi and Yunho both were behind following us.

‘YAH! Let go of my arm!’ Jaejoong complained trying to get me to let go

But as obvious as it may be…Demons are 10 times stronger then a human.

‘AND don’t drag me around like a ragged doll!’ Jaejoong continued to complain, trying to stop me from dragging him.

Of course that effort was a waste.

Giving up, let me drag him ‘Where are you going anyways?’ Jaejoong asked grumpily

I smiled ‘we’re going to eat lunch on the roof.’ I replied

-Roof –

-Jaejoong Pov-

‘FOOD~ FOOD~ FOOD~ FOOD~’  Byul repeated annoyingly

I groaned while quickly opening my bag and toss her, her lunch box…WHICH I MADE.

‘ WOOOO’ She cheered, happily opening the box and digging in.

 I rolled my eyes at her, before pulling out two more lunch boxes.

‘Dambi-ah~ I made you a lunch box!’ I said happily ‘Let’s eat together!’

Dambi smiled…a very beautiful smile I might add. ‘Thank you Jaejoong Oppa’ she thanked

I mentally squealed ‘OMOMOMO’ my mind screamed

However before Dambi or myself could eat, Yunho was first to take a bite out of the lunch boxes

Munching on the food with a motionless face ‘Hm not bad’ He commented

My eyes twitched ‘YAH YOU IDIOT! HOW COULD YOU EAT OUT OF OUR LUNCH BOX WITHOUT PERMISSION!!!!’ I scolded angrily

But…as always nothing I ever say affected that Guy. That very thickheaded guy.

‘So Byul, how did you know Jaejoong Oppa?’ Dambi asked, starting a conversation

Byul who had full, swallowed the large amount down and grinned ‘Well, he came in as a customer and his payment was to be my playmate.’ She answered

‘STOP USING THAT WORD!!!!!’ I hissed angrily

A look of full interest appeared on Dambi’s face ‘Do you own a shop, Byul?’ she questioned in awe ‘what kind of shop is it?’

‘I don’t own the shop, Jihyo Unni does. And it’s a wishing shop.’ Byul answered happily

‘Wishing shop? Omo that’s amazing’ Dambi praised

‘It’s not that great…’ I mumbled, which earned an elbow in the ribs.

‘Neh, it’s very amazing.’ Byul agreed ‘Do come by, if there is a wish you want granted.’

‘ANI!’ I protested ‘DAMBI-AH! Don’t go to such places!!! Their evil scams!’

‘Wouldn’t that make you an idiot to have became a customer to those ‘evil scams’?’ Yunho stated

Byul burst out laughing ‘that’s correct!. Yunho you’re Daebak’ she grinned with thumbs up

‘YAH STAY OUT OF THIS!!!!’ I shouted angrily, glaring at Yunho

Dambi giggled ‘you guys are such good friends.’ She said

‘NO WE’RE NOT!!!! WE’RE NOT FRIENDS!!!’ I Protested

But…I was ignored.

I groaned…feeling complete pity for myself.

-End Of School-

-Walking To Shop-

After have saying bye to the love of my life, Dambi, we all went our separate ways…well I had to go to that damn evil wishing shop. So here I am walking with Byul…but…

‘Why the hell are you following us?’ I questioned unhappily

‘I’m heading the same way.’ Yunho stated simply

I groaned ‘THEN WALK FAR BEHIND WHY ARE YOU NEXT TO US?!!!!’ I angrily snapped

Both Byul and Yunho looked at me, blinking a few times before a smirk came onto Yunho’s face and a huge grin on Byul’s

‘We? Aww Joongie your really protective of me. That’s sweet’ Byul awed

‘so your both really an item…’ Yunho commented with a smirk.

‘AISHI! SHOULD OF KNOWN YOU BOTH WILL BE TEAMING UP ON ME!’ I groan unhappily ‘what did I ever do to deserve this great annoyance.’

I speed up my pace, wanting to no be anywhere close to them…but from behind I heard them both chuckling.

They’re both demons. One is really a demon and the other could be one.

-Your Pov-

Yunho separated from us a few blocks away from the shop. Entering the shop, Jaejoong was still grumbling angrily while starting on doing his chores. I happily greeted the twins and Max telling them I had a great day, I went into the living room, where I knew I’d find Jihyo.

‘Did you enjoy your first day?’ Jihyo asked smiling at me, once I had entered the room.

She as usual was laying on the sofa. I closed the door behind me and sat on the ground in front of her.

‘Neh, I really enjoyed it.’ I said with a smile ‘it’s interesting. I’ve meet interesting people’

Jihyo smile widened ‘new friends?” she stated

I nod ‘Neh.’ I grinned ‘Jung Yunho and Som Dambi’

Jihyo sat up from her laying position. ‘Jung Yunho, Som Dambi…indeed their interesting.’ She said nodding ‘however…I do sense there is a troubling matter.’

My smile faded just as Jihyo’s as well. Moving closer to her, I laid my head on her lap.

I nod ‘Neh. Jaejoong has affection for her.’ I said, closing my eyes ‘it’ll be complicated in the future.’

‘what will you plan to do?’ She asked

I remained silent, thinking hard.

‘Dambi, has no bad intention. It wasn’t her choice.’ I started ‘But it’s a different story if she knows of the burden she carries and chose to ignore it.’

‘I can’t say or label that she is a threat. However if she uses her burden to bring harm, I’d have to take action.’

‘And I’m hoping…that is not the case... Because she still human, with human needs and desires.’ I ended

There was a short silence between Jihyo and me. I didn’t know if what I had said was right or wrong. I knew that Jihyo herself can’t state weather I was right or wrong…but by her simple action of patting my head with a warm smile…it comforted me and ease the worry away.

‘When the matter comes, i know you will overcome it.’ She said while stoking my head

Slowly I felt myself falling slowly in and out of conscious

-Jihyo Pov-

I felt Byul’s breathing became light and steady.

‘Thank you Unni.’ She mumbled before sleeping asleep on my lap.

I smiled warmly down at her still stoking her head, however…being who I was, I knew and sensed bits of the future…my smile faded away.

‘But…I wished you wouldn’t bring pain upon yourself when the time comes.’ I finished

 On queue the door slid open, revealing Jaejoong in his apron.

‘Food’s ready’ he announced

I nod ‘ Carry Byul to her room.’ I said

Jaejoong frowned and crossed his arm ‘There’s no way, am I going to carry that pig.’ He stated stubbornly

We both exchanged a blank stare, before he let out a sigh

‘Fine.’ He groaned in defeat

He came towards me, bending down and picked Byul up in a bridal style, he lifted her without difficulty it seemed natural.

‘You both look good together you know that?’ Max commented as he appeared at the doorframe.

Jaejoong scoffed ‘like I would be stupid enough to take even the slightest interest in her.’ He retorted

‘Your affectionate one, isn’t your lady luck’ I stated, earning a confused look from Jaejoong

Jaejoong grunted ‘Seriously, I’m not understanding what your trying to say at all.’ He said and left carrying Byul to her room.
