Chapter Three
"Who...who are you?" Nicole mumbled to him. She can't even talked properly right now because of what she witnessed. This man is not lying to her. He is telling the truth. He is really from hell. And he is really a devil. Those eyes it's not belong into a normal human being. He is not deceiving her at all. "S---stay! Stay away from me!" Nicole said with a warning when her senses come back to normal. "Don't come closer." She said in a little bit shaking voice.
"Do you believed me now?" JongHyeop asked her confidently. "You must be shocked, I know? I'm sorry for that." JongHyeop apologized.
"Whoever are you is not my business!" Nicole said crossing her arms and trying to calm her nerves. "And even you are from hell let's make a deal," she said. "And please change your eye color now. You are not
in hell anymore," she said in annoying voice not looking at him.
"Yes. I will return it to normal eyes of a human as you wish because I can feel you are a little bit scared of me." JongHyeop teasing her. "So what's the deal you want from me?"
"If I don't die in thirty days then I'm already free from you and you can also leave me even without a goodbye. You can go back to hell alone and I don't care about that f*****g mission you have on me." Nicole said with a side eyes. "Hayst, yabang ng demonyo to!" She mumbled.
"Okay deal. That was so simple and easy task."JongHyeop replied. "So, what is that words?" He asked being confused in the last part of her sentenced. Maybe she cursed her again or something else.Or anything more.
"I said what a cute and a handsome devil who arrived from hell just to pester me here in land. Very fun!" She lied at him.
"Am I cute and handsome?" JongHyeop teasing her again with that cute smile on his lips. His face suddenly got brighter. "But why your answer is to long? You just said two words." JongHyeop said not satisfied with her replied.
They keep on bickering like they known each other for to long. They didn't even exchanges name's. And so what? If he was really cute and have a handsome face. This devil is not even rich at all. He doesn't have any car or mansion or a villa to live with. He is just an ordinary devil with power and a golden eyes but poor in life like her.
"I'm going home." Nicole suddenly said. "And don't follow me anymore." She said showing her one finger for stopping him.
"I need to follow you." JongHyeop replied.
Nicole stop. "Why don't you ask Satan to gave you money so that you can live here? Why bother me?" Nicole said. "Look, I'm also poor like you struggling to live my life in a better ways. I don't have money. I'm just an ordinary employee. "
"Well, why you keep telling me the same things? Are you not even tired of it?" JongHyeop said. Making this devil annoyed in her present was quit satisfied. "Did I said I was poor? Hell shaked!" JongHyeop said.
Nicole smirked. This devil is not only cute but boastful too. "I'm tired! So much tired that I wanted to die." Nicole answered quickly. "So, is there any problem with that? I'm your mission right? So, I'm not dead yet. Why waste so much energy?"
"Yes, that's it! That's why I'm here for you. I came down from hell because of you. And everything is about you." He replied. "You did it for yourself. I just followed the order from above. And I didn't even know about you. I just cursed, well, no I got punished because of your nonsense life."
Nicole never bothered to answer the devil. She just started to walked back home. Ami is waiting for her. And this devil still following her. This homeless devil. No, not homeless, a shameless Devil. Yes, that's the correct term for that! Nicole said in her mind until they reached the front door of her house where she lived and Ami.
Nicole opened the door using her own key. JongHyeop is behind her back waiting for her to open it. Nicole slowly opened the door knob trying to quickly go inside and lock him outside but before she can do it for scaping him from his presence, JongHyeop already opened it first and went inside after her. And to her surprised JongHyeop help him opened the door for her.
"Ow!" Ami said in surprised. "Who is this handsome man you bring home?" Ami teasing her with a cute smile on her face. Staring at JongHyeop face and acting so pretty infront of him. Her best friend and roommate showing some sweetness on his strange man.
"He is the devil from hell." Nicole answered having a pouty lips.
"A devil?" Ami repeated in disbelief. "This handsome man is a devil? "You're crazy b***h!" Ami said laughing."You must be joking, right?"
"Yes." Nicole said with a nod. "If you don't believe me, ask him?" She said with a sighed."And there's no time for joke, okay."
"So what is your name?" Ami asked JongHyeop. " Are you really a devil from hell?" Ami asked him carefully. And she turned her face back to looked at Nicole.
"He doesn't have a name,l." Nicole answered. "Just call him, Devil." Nicole said in a pissed. Throwing herself from the sofa.
"How did you know? Maybe, you didn't ask him? That's why you don't have his name." Ami said still can't believe that Devil doesn't have a name.
Nicole covered her face with the throw pillow beside her. She closed her eyes. She doesn't want to talked about him anymore. She felt giddy that her head is going to exploded everytime she think of it. She will die soon. She just have thirty days left on Earth. No, not thirty but twenty-nine.
Then suddenly she felt uncomfortable. She removed the pillow from her face. She can't hear any sound. The place is so quite. She stood up quickly. Trying to find out what is going on. Why she can't hear anything? She walked slowly to the kitchen with curiosity and to her surprised the two are having a dinner. Eating peacefully and having a beer.
"Toast!" Ami said sweetly to him. Making a bang with their beers on air raising it. Nicole pretend that she's not there listening to them. She hide on the door. She peep at them again.
"Toast." JongHyeop said too.
And they both laughed.
Nicole pouted her lips. "What a nonsense!" Nicole said covering her mouth with her hand trying not to hear her voice. But before they discovered her, JongHyeop was already there standing infront of her. His one hand cornered her to the wall. It means she can't walk away again. When she looked back at the kitchen she saw Ami sleeping already at the table.
"What did you do to Ami?" Nicole asked him nervously. "I just saw her laughing and now...she was sleeping. Did you make her drunk?" she asked.
JongHyeop shaked his head.
"Well, I never did anything. I just snapped my fingers like that," he said showing to her what he did to Ami.
"Oh, yes. I forgot. You have a power." Nicole smirking. "But how can you do that to Ami?" Nicole said angrily.
"Ow, Im sorry about that. Actually, I make her fall asleep because I saw you peeping at us." JongHyeop honestly said.
"You are being unreasonable." Nicole said shaking her head.
So what should she expect more? Ami doesn't drink to much. Maybe she just played along with this devil to lure him and ask a question that's why she asked him to have a drink. Nicole tried to be understandable this time. Without realizing JongHyeop staring at her.
"W..what?" Nicole asked in mumbled. "Is there any dirt on my face?" She said being confused trying to wipe it with her hand. JongHyeop smiled sweetly. "And can you please remove your hand now," she said feeling uncomfortable by the way JongHyeop stood infront of him. She can sense the warm from his body.His aura was so hot like a fire.
"You are so adorable," he said. "Knowing you wanted to die and go to hell. What a waste." JongHyeop said shaking his head. JongHyeop lifted his hand to touch her face but she quickly turned her face away. She doesn't want anymore touching series or else she will melt. Because her body doesn't response to her senses once she felt the warm on him. Nicole tried to calmed herself.
"Yes, I know. But it's not the time yet, right? I've still have twenty-nine days. So, can you please move." Nicole asked.
JongHyeop step backward.
Waiting to moved more step but JongHyeop stopped after a few steps."Make a happy memories before you die," he said before leaving.
She just watched him go away. She doesn't know where did he go but all she remembered is that he reminded her to make a happy memories. Nicole suddenly felt sad. She felt something dropping from her face. She was crying. She looked at Ami. She was still sleeping.
Nicole hugged herself. She pity herself buy hatred. She cried. She was crying loudly covering her mouth so that her best friend won't hear anything from her. Why? Why? She asked herself. Why did I need to suffer so much? Why is the world so unfair? All those questioned suddenly making her more pissed off. Her mind is in a miserables state. Trying to forget everything how she wished the devil can snapped all her problem and everything will be fine.And everything will be back to normal again.
