Both of them leave the event and walk on the street that night, the confession was the best.
"Ouh I forgot!" he said.
"What?" she asked.
"Saengil chukhahaeyo~(it means happy birthday in Korean)" he kissed her cheek.
"Ouh! You remember!" she was surprised.
"Of course~ I always remember it~ I prepared one more gift for you~" he hugged her tiny body tightly with his left arm and they walked faster.
They both reached out to his house and He opened the door. She entered it and was told to sit in the living room.
Suddenly the light was off.
"Hyun-ssi?" she called him but there's no response.
"Hyun-ssi!!" she kneels before standing up if he still hasn't yet responded.
And...
"Saengil chukha hamnida~
Saengil chukha hamnida~
Saranghaneun Nayoung-ssi~
Saengil chukha hamnida~"
Hyun was singing a happy birthday song while bring in a cake with candles lit up on it. He put it on the table.
She was stunned while covering her face with her hands and looking at the cake.
"Make a wish and blow it~" he said and she nodded.
She holds her palms together and closes her eyes "I hope that I can be with Hyun-ssi forever, anywhere and anytime. Hope we also can get married~" she giggled and blew the candle.
"Why are you giggling?" he asked.
"I asked for an expensive wish!" she excitedly said.
"What is it?"
"If I tell you, then it can't be a wish anymore~ I'll tell you once I see the way it becomes true~" she cut the cake.
"You promised me~" he pointed a spoon at her and she nodded.
Both of them eat the cake and watch a movie later.
"Yah, aren't you gonna take off that blazer? It looks hot..." she said.
"What hot? Am I that hot~" he teased and giggled later.
"No!! I mean you looked like you were gonna sweat a bucket! Why don't you take off that blazer!" she hit his leg.
"Okay~ I'm just kidding~" he took off the blazer and put it on her.
"Thank you~ as if you know that I was cold~" she blushed.
"With those off your shoulders, you might freeze~ You wore something as beautiful as this and we ended up in my house...don't you think it's a waste?" he asked.
"There'll be no waste when I'm always with you~ I don't care if I miss a super fancy and elegant occasion, as long as you're here by my side, I'm fine with everything~" she wrapped her arms with his arm and laid her head on it.
"What a lovely~ but I never miss an occasion~ so don't worry, when you're with me, there's always something you might want. I can give you everything..." he added.
"You're my everything, we as a human never wanted more after having someone that we love and loving us. We are simple and easy~" her voice slowed.
"Yes my love~ as easy as ABC~ you cried, I hugged you. You're anxious, I pat you and when you're in trouble, I help you to solve it~" he continued.
"Ne~ but if I was happy, laughing and smiling, you also need to be the same cause it'll be a problem if you don't do it..." she warned in a very sweet way.
"Are you threatening me~?" he flirted.
"Kinda~ aren't you scared?"
"I do, I'm scared that you will be leaving me alone here...that's already enough to make me suffer just like how humans feel in hell..." he said.
"I'll never leave you~ even after life~" she teased.
"Hey! Afterlife wasn't a joke you know! You'll leave me if you go after life!" he whimpered.
"Aww~ my chagiya was whimpering~" she rubbed her face on his shoulder like a cat.
"I'm serious, okay!" he said.
"Okay~ okay~ me too~ do you think I'm playing around?" she asked and it made him realize.
"What are you gonna do? You're not gonna..." he widened his eyes and was quite anxious about her. She is a sweet and polite girl with some naughtiness but that 'thing' wasn't part of her.
"No Hyun-ah~ I'll not do that~ but if one day I'll go first, please consider that as a moment for me to be better for you in the afterlife, it'll be a long period of me leaving but I'll come back. I promised~" she persuaded.
"You promised not to leave me..."
"I do, but give more of your time for me to try my best in return to your arms~" she still persuaded. She knows what he's gonna do if anything happens to her.
"I trust you since you always keep your promises but the longer I wait, the less patience I have..." he warned.
"But the longer you wait, it'll be more satisfying to see me back in front of your eyes~" she giggled.
"I'll wait for that later but for now, enjoy the moment~ don't talk too much, enjoy the movie~" he kissed her head and they enjoyed that night until sunrise.
"I still have one assignment I need to finish..." she said.
"Forgot about that, there'll be a long night...you can do it after this movie finishes..." he said and she looked at him with cute, convincing and big eyes. Hyun didn't look at it but he knew how it was going to be.
Later on...
"How many questions that you still got?" he asked while helping her with the assignment.
"Two more! I'll finish this faster!" she is rapidly typing.
"Why didn't you finish it earlier? This task was easy..." he laid on the couch.
"It does but...I was doing something else back then..." her voice became melancholic.
"What did you do? Is that important?" he asked in curiosity and looked at her back view.
"Very important for me..." she added.
Flashback On
The dress was on the bed while she was in the shower, still in her outfit. Under the shower, the water ran through her body along with tears down her eyes.
"I should hate him from now on..." she said while hugging her legs close to her chest.
"I don't want him to feel bad but I feel the worst feeling...he's a demon, it's impossible for me to be with him..." her heart whispered.
Her eyes get blurred with water and tears, it's very heartbroken to see something that you can't have getting far away from you. That's the best but why did the heart feel tearfully apart?
That's the love that she can't even tell, the moment when she knew falling in love wasn't easy but still gave it a try because hoping that magical things would happen.
After showering, she wears the dress and stands in front of the mirror with everything ready. Her lips are still trembling and there's a line of tears under her eyes but she needs to be strong. There'll be something good that happens, she feels it but what just happened was too painful.
Flashback Off
"Cry in the shower? Am I that cruel for hurting you?" he hugged her from behind. Their bodies are touched and feel each other's warmth.
"I just feel that you are getting so far away from me that I can even think that you'll disappear from my life...I never felt so cool, warm and calm after my parents death but with you giving me back that feels..." she sobbing and holding her tears back.
"Cry if you need to, don't hold it too much, your throat gonna choke and your chest gonna crowd...I'm extremely sorry, I didn't know that getting far away from you gonna tear you this badly. Since you said you hate demons..." he stopped.
"I do hate them but you are different, my perspective changes when I know the truth. I thought you're gonna tell the truth once I said that I hate demons but you misunderstand me, I'm sorry too..." she rubbed his arms that wrapped around her body.
"We are different but we are still the creatures that's gonna feel pain, love, happiness and more...I will admit that staying away from you will make me miss you more. Even if we can't be together forever now, maybe one day we will..." he calmed her down. Her teary eyes were so beautiful but there's pain that both of them can't endure.
It's the correct person, the right time but different creatures that can't be forever together. It's gonna be painful to see one die and leave one another.
That's life, you're alone then fall in love but one of them will go first and you'll be alone again until you find another person or be loyal to the past.

The birds are chirping in the morning and the television has been on since last night. The light from outside shines into the house and makes the inside brighter. The curtains were slowly moving by the wind from the open windows.
Both of them were laying on the couch together, hugging each other with the blanket on. They were deeply asleep after a tiring day last night. His hands were on her body and they slept facing each other.
Later on, Nayoung slowly opened her eyes after the sunlight shone on her. She moved her position to make it comfortable. Nayoung looked at Hyun's sleeping face, it was quite calmer to see it than his usually cold and sweet face.
She was happy to see that a guy in front of him was already her boyfriend and hoped to be a husband but would that be possible?
She hugged him and he moved a bit, it's the first time they were waking up next to each other and being very close. Who knows that the small couch will fit both of them.
"Are you already wake up?" he suddenly asked in a raspy voice that sent butterflies down to her stomach.
"I must stay focused, I must! Stay! Focus!" her heart whispered.
"Focused on what?" he asked. It's very hard to hide what she feels from him, what a mind reader boyfriend.
"Focused to not sleep again...or we'll be late for class.." she covered.
"Just a few more sleep, okay yeobo?~" he hugged her tightly with his massive and thick hands. The agenda of 'don't want to let you go because you're mine since last night'
"Lord, have mercy..." her heart whispered again and he giggled.
"Let's go..." he immediately sat down with messy hair and siren eyes after waking up.
"I'm gonna faint..." she widened her eyes while her heartbeats almost dropped.
"Since I summoned this new power, mind reading...your heart will be part of the mouth and I'll hear everything~ so don't faint~" he smirked.
"How can I not if you're to stunning when you're waking up~" she moved her body forward.
"Then...you should normalize this from now on cause I want you to move in with me" he said.
"Was this guy for real?! Am I gonna die if I keep seeing this side of him?!" her heart whispered.
"You're not gonna die darling~ and I'm gonna take that as yes~" he said.
"Huh? Ouh haha~ why do I feel like you're breaking into my privacy..." she squinted her eyes.
"I promised I'm just gonna use it for good~ no harm~" he smiled and she's blushing.
"O-okay, I can trust you..." she looked away shyly.
"Good then, I'm gonna take a quick shower and maybe you want to get ready...I already can't go on anymore with the dress you're wearing, it breaks my patience of holding back the love..." he whispered to her ears that sent shivers down her spine.
Rapidly, Nayoung stands up and runs away from his house and gets into her house.
She can hear her heartbeat in that silence. It was so cold just now but she felt ticklish when he whispered next to her ears.
She was blushing and thinking of what would happen if both of them were living together.
It's gonna be very flirty everyday, he's not an easy person. How can she need to run away everytime he lets out that sweet talking?!
