jaemin arrived home after an hour walk.

he was exhausted.

he didn't have the strength to do anything.

the boy lied on his bed, arms and legs spread, head resting on the pillow he had borne a hole in a few days before.

after a dozen of minutes of resting, and just listening to the music blasting through his ears, jaemin decided to take a shower.

the boy picked his pyjama from under his pillow, locking himself into his tiny bathroom.

he set his pyjamas on the sink before undressing and throwing his dirty clothes on the pile of non-washed clothes that had been there for too long – don't blame him, he was lazy to wash them by hand.

once he was in his bare attire, jaemin turned the shower's handle, opening the water – cold water – before slipping in the shower cabin, right under the water.

no matter how long he had had to shower with cold water, he never got used to it.

cold showers were like a way-too-loud alarm clock, blasting at 5a.m. when you had gone to bed after 3. very unpleasant.

what got him surprised today was that the cold shower didn't seem to be that cold.

in fact, it seemed hotter than usual. jaemin hadn't paid for the water bills though.

the water soon became boiling hot, and that's when jaemin knew there was a problem.

"ahhh!" jaemin yelled when the previously hot water became freezing cold.

he heard someone laughing at his pain.

and he knew exactly who that was.

"donghyuck!!!" the human yelled, wiping the steam off the shower cabin's glass to see the demon laughing his ass off. "get the fuck out of my bathroom- aaahh!!"

jaemin turned the water off as the temperature became unbearably hot once again, burning his skin.

the teenager opened the glass door before storming out, only to find no one standing there.

an awfully similar event happened the next day.

jaemin was inside his little house, preparing his dinner.

for once, he had decided not to eat a pot of ramen – he had had way too much this week – and instead, cook a piece of beef he had bought in the dirty convenience store of guryong village. the expiration date was today, so he had had it half the price it usually was.

he had meticulously cut the beef piece in half, saving one half for tomorrow, before cooking the first half.

his meat was inside the pan, getting cooked with a bit of oil and a few potatoes.

jaemin was aware that this was a divine meal.
