"Open me!"
Jisoo jumped back shrieking. The devilishly deep voice accompanied by the endearing words made her head spin. Was someone playing some sort of prank on her? But even if she were to take that as a possibility, it still didn't make much sense. Why and most importantly who would pull a prank on her?
*Woof!*
Oh right, the box. Jisoo was still very skeptical of this package but to find out answers, it looked like she had to open the box. So taking calculated strides towards the beige package, she realized how it was exactly of her height. Damn, someone spent a lot on a lousy joke.
"Woo, alright. You can do this." Saying out loud some encouraging words, she finally decided to rip off the top most tape. Whatever assurance she had given herself, nothing could've prepared her for the head which popped out of the box which then rolled onto the ground and finally halted at her feet.
"WHAT THE FUCK- OH MY GOD DALGOMIE" The features of the face were hidden as it had rolled and only the back of the head was visible to her. Shouting in extreme fear and bewilderment at what she just saw, Jisoo grabbed the dog who was now snatched from playing with a potentially new toy rolling on the ground, the woman bolting inside the house and shutting the door rather loudly. The tawny haired then realized that she still hadn't stopped her screaming.
"Ah, my throat hurts now...but what in the holy-"
*Ding dong!*
"D-dalgomie, stay here while I go call the police-"
*Ding-dong ding-dong*
"Oh my god, I can't believe this is how my life is gonna end. Just like that on a Sunday afternoon." She cried out in disbelief, scare quite visible on her face. The events of minutes earlier were unfathomable for her and she didn't even have the time to come to a logical conclusion for any of it because of the constant ringing of the doorbell. Whining pathetically, she clutched the white poof of excitement to her chest and sat against the door, hoping that after a while whatever that was would go away.
Persistence is key and the creature seemed to be quite well versed with that fact as it kept on ringing the doorbell, until the woman at the other side of the door shouted in defeat and annoyance.
"What are you and what do you want!"
No words were uttered. Absolute silence.
Jisoo sighed, had the thing finally accepted she won't open and stopped its efforts? That thought in itself was quite comforting and for another minute or two, there was no noise or action from the other side. Her suspicions seemed to be correct and she couldn't help but let out a big sigh of relief. Too soon, because there it was, the shrill sound of the doorbell echoing through the halls.
"Oh my god." The business major groaned, banging her head on the door with force which eventually led her to wince a little. Dalgom was scratching at the door, presumably wanting to open the door and inspect his new toy.
"You know what, this has gone too far. If I die, I die. I can't just sit here all night listening to the doorbell going off." The soft padding of her feet against the floor was heard as she jogged to the kitchen, grabbing a pot and a spatula. Yeah this should work.
Walking back through the living room, her eyes fell upon the phone placed on the turquoise couch. Should she call the police? It was technically the most sensible thing to do in such a situation but something was stopping her. Telling her she could manage it on her own.
"Here goes nothing.." She reached the foyer with a sigh and took heavy steps towards the door. The continuous rings never faltering, confirming that the thing was still there. Dalgom saw the weapons in her hand and barked, making Jisoo groan in annoyance.
"Dalgom-ah, quiet!" She whisper yelled, a finger pressed to her lips. The dog grumbled and with her rationality thrown out of the equation, the woman finally opened the door with the spatula flailing aimlessly in front of her.
Only problem, the package was gone. The pot had been dropped to the ground with a loud thud as she was met with a totally unexpected sight.
Instead of the big beige box with horrors, a tall brunet with the most endearing smile Jisoo had ever seen, was staring at her with lovely coffee brown eyes.
"Hi! I hope we get along as I'll be living with you for a month." He beamed, making Jisoo forget her previous worries and fears. Dalgom's sudden barking made her come out of the hypnotic state she was in, making her look down at her dog playing with the 'head' from before.
"D-DALGOM NO!"
"Oh so such creatures are called Dalgoms? This little one reminds me of clouds." The man said while laughing a little, bending down to pet the dog softly. Dalgom immediately sniffed the stretched hand and approved, giving the fingers a small lick before returning his focus to the 'toy'.
"What- what's with the head?!" Jisoo asked the man worriedly, seeing her baby trying to chew its hair. The lean man just giggled, making the other's cheeks turn slightly red.
"That was just an instrument I use to observe human emotions. Yours by far, was the funniest." The strange being said, walking past Jisoo into her house. She was dumfounded, replaying everything the odd man had said. That's when one of his line struck her.
"Wait, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'LL BE LIVING WITH ME?!"
