The Devil's Sweetheart

58

Darkness was gone and the day started to spill with birds chirping and the spring breeze. Painted in a hue of orange and allied with golden rays of the rising sun, the sky stood high inviting to fly high.

Jennie was supposed to be in her brother's home by now, but due to her late-night sleeping, she was still bound to the bed. Although Lisa did not speak for a long time worried that she would get tired due to lack of sleep, Jennie couldn't sleep with immense happiness. Only with Rosé's continuous nagging, she woke up now.

"Can we skip going?" Jennie yawned and grabbed her mobile to check for a message from him and as expected there was one.

"We can skip. But do you want to be killed by Seul?" Rosé tried to peep into Jennie's mobile but Jennie stashed away the mobile.

"Go and get a boyfriend for yourself instead of peeping," Jennie rebuked and sent a cute gif to Lisa and waited for a while. When she did not get a response, Jennie got up from her bed assuming that he would be working out. One thing she understood is, he loves to push his body to the rims and mold it according to his taste and preferences. His taut muscles she felt when they were kissing was an illustration.

"It's because of you, I still don't have a boyfriend," Rosé shouted but Jennie was already gone to the bathroom.

After a long stretch of her shower, Jennie got ready and fed Carrot with her breakfast. She went into the bedroom again and pulled a gift wrap from the cupboard.

"What is that?" Rosé asked.

"It's a gift for Cutie," She added. Her niece bargained with gifts and chocolates to lend some confession pickup lines. "Let's go, Rosé. It's already late."

Jennie stepped into the car happily along with Rosé and Carrot to see her niece after a long time without knowing there was a big commotion going on in her home.

...

A man strolled into the house in his jogging outfit carrying a piece of paper in his hands. Burning rage hissed through his body like a deathly poison. The moment he entered the hall, he shouted in a high pitched voice. "Savny Kim, come out of your room! Do you dare to insult your father again?"

His loud voice echoed into the kitchen where a woman was busy readying the breakfast for her daughter. She sighed and walked out to find out the reason for his husband's fury this time. "What's wrong? Let her sleep for some time. She is tired of the long flight journey."

"I will not let her sleep today." He screamed and focused the attention on his bratty daughter again. "Are you going to come down or you want me to come up?"

In the middle of their fervent discussion, a small dainty figure was sleeping peacefully with a slightly parted mouth. A baby anime cartoon quilt was wrapped around her shoulders securely. The loud voice made her slightly stir from the sleep.

Ignoring the voice, she was close to drifting into her la-la land again, the familiar noise reverberated again into her ears.

"What's with that moning alalam?" She mumbled in her baby voice, her eyes shined, like the pebbles in the ocean when she opened her eyes. Morning alarm is his dad's nickname that she calls in his absence. All the neighboring children complain about Cutie's bratty behavior to her dad and she always gets scolding's from him. Not that she minded his scolding's, but he would always wake her up when she is in the middle of her sleep and that's the reason she calls him 'morning alarm'.

Unable to withstand the mouthpiece, she got up from her bed and slowly walked out of the room. She began stepping down the stairs, her face looked fresh and clean, except that her hair was disheveled due to multiple times rolling on the bed.
