"The devil plays by his own rules...but so do I, darling."

People believe there is a guardian angel for each and everyone of them.
But Afriel seems to have been given a bit twisted side of the deal.

"In so much less time I'm already yearning to be part of this world again. But something tells me I'm a fool to think that."
My mind was completely blown away at this point and I didn't know how to react to be honest. There's actually a Devil and probably some God too? I wonder what happened so tragic to Jungkook which made the literal Devil feel sorry for him. Maybe that's why Jungkook's memory is gone? To let him live a 'free life' ? Is he going to stay with me till I turn grey and my skin gets wrinkly? There were so many questions still left unanswered.
"Don't worry. My duration on earth is just eight months, I'll be gone soon."
I snapped out of my thoughts to see Jungkook looking at me.
"Did you just read my mind?!" I asked, taken aback by his answer.
"Uhh...no?" He replied, a shy smile on his face as he shook his head.
I inwardly cooed at how cute he looked at that very moment. You just met him, get a grip young lady. Pushing the thought aside, I asked him one last question, "So, are you going to be with me 24x7?"
His eyebrows shot up at the question, but relaxed almost immediately. All of a sudden, it looked like he didn't want to meet my eyes and was now looking down at his feet with much interest.
"Yes. That's what the... contract said."
I didn't want to bother him more by asking what else the contract had stated, but mainly because I was tired. This day had turned out to be the most surprising day in my entire twenty-one years of existence. Everything was just beginning to sit in my head. Guardians were real. They exist. I have one guardian to look after me. He was a demon...but his personality was really timid and somewhat...dainty. I again started to wonder what he could have done to be deemed as part of the "To the hell" club. He didn't look like someone who was capable of doing heinous crimes. But then again, looks can be deceiving.
"Oh and one more thing. I know you probably won't want me to be around you all the time, I assure you I'll not follow you everywhere. I'll pop in to check on you time to time, nothing else."
I tuned out of my inner monologue to nod to his statement. "Oh okay."
"Altough there's a catch. You might uh..."
I looked at him with a questioning expression. A catch?
"I would have to stay here, at your apartment for the whole of eight months and that means I'd have to sleep with you."
Immediately realising what he had just said, Jungkook started to panic.
I, for my part, had jumped up from where I was sitting beside him and was looking at him with a shocked expression.
