spider {MUNXHANA}

Spider 🕷️

Hana woke to the sound of a high pitched, bloodcurdling scream coming from the downstairs training room.

She sat up straight, rubbing sleep from her eyes and wiping the drool from her cheek as she tried to make sense of the scream that managed to make it all the way to her room.

She soon realised that it sounded like Mun's extremely feminine scream and went back to sleep, assuming he saw his own shadow...again.

However, not long after she closed her eyes, another yell made it's way up the stairs and echoed through her room.

"HANA!", Mun shouted from the training room. "HANA! HELP!"

Hana rolled her eyes, dragging her aching body from the comfortable bed and pushed herself to her feet. She ran a hand through her hair, moving her hair off her face and took her time making her way to the training room.

I wonder if he's seen the spider, she thought to herself, smiling at the idea.

When she rounded the corner her eyes widened, taking in the scene in front of her.

Mun was stood staring at the spider enclosure - or would have been if his face wasn't covered with trembling hands - a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face.

"What do you think?", Hana asked, coming to stand next to him.

Mun jumped, not noticing she had been there. "Hana! Look there's a spider!", he whispered, taking a step back to protect himself behind her.

Hana turned around to face him. "I know. Do you like him? I haven't decided on a name yet but I was thinking Aragog." She smiled at him, waiting for his thoughts.

"Ohh from Harry Pot- WAIT. IT'S YOUR SPIDER?!"
He dramatically clapped his hands over his mouth, his eyes opened wide, showing the betrayal he felt.

She tilted her head to the side, confused by his reaction. "Yes. I found him and thought he'd make a good pet."

"WHY? WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO GET A PET SPIDER?!" He flung his arm out, pointing at the spider enclosure, still keeping a safe distance.

Hana crossed her arms defensively. "Actually, it was yours.", she accused, narrowing her eyes and taking a step towards Mun.

Even though they had been friends for over two years, Hana still intimidated Mun and so he took a step back and looked at the floor.

"I was thinking maybe a cat or a dog when I suggested we get a pet for the noodle restaurant...", he explained, daring to take a peek at her face. "But, I guess you thought I meant get a...spid-", he looked away from the enclosure, and ran a hand through his curls. "A spider."

Hana studied Mun's face. His pale, clammy skin. His wide eyes accompanied by dilated pupils. The beads of sweat, continuing to form and trail down his cheek.

Was he...scared?

Hana let out a quiet chuckle under her breath before clearing her throat and patting Mun on the back. "Oh So Mun-a. Let's get you over this fear of spiders."

Mun turned to look at her. "I'm not scared."

Hana sighed. "Mhm."

𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼

The first thing Hana did was show Mun pictures of spiders. At first he was hesitant to look at them but when she bribed him with ice cream he could look at every picture, from the small spiders to the big spiders.

He was like a child.

Next, Hana made him talk to the spider. What he talked about didn't matter, but she thought it would
help him bond with Aragog.
