"No."

"What do you mean no? You don't control me." He scoffed and walked off to sit down but I grabbed his wrist. "Why are you always everywhere? Just disappear, please." I mumbled the last bit under my breath but I could tell that he still heard it. "Grant me my wish and I won't have to 'annoy you' so much." He then walked off and sat at a table in the corner of the cafe.

I started muttering a bunch of curse words to myself receiving a few weird and dirty looks from the film crew. We then continued filming like normal but Doom would constantly say and ask weird things, people were probably thinking that I was friends with a psycho. "Eonni, your friend said that he wants a Chaeroffle but he wants you to make it for him. Are you sure he's not your boyfriend?" Chaewon teased and I just awkwardly chuckled before responding with a "No, he's not."

"Here's your damn croffle, now eat it quickly and fuck off. My workplace isn't your little playground for you to fuck with me in. Leave." I whispered to Doom before walking off. I was frustrated, he was completely embarrassing me and didn't give two shits.

-

The day was finally over two hours later. The girls had just finished filming and Doom had left the cafe an hour ago, so that meant I could finally go home and relax.

Once I had gotten home I plopped myself onto the sofa and turned on the TV. I decided to just chill and watch for a bit before making myself dinner, and after 3 hours of me just rotting away on the sofa I decided to get up and make myself dinner.

When I opened the fridge, it was completely empty except for two eggs, tomato sauce and 4 bottles of soju. The fridge was screaming depressed, so I decided to get changed into comfy clothes and quickly go to the supermarket. The moment I opened my front door I was faced with the man of the hour himself. "You. Again. Did you have fun embarrassing me today?"

"I was a customer in a shop, I didn't do shit to embarrass you. Besides I'm not here to talk about that, I'm here for your wish." He said and I shoved past him picking up the bin bag outside and heading down the stairs to throw the bin bag away. He just followed behind me and grunted in annoyance when I didn't respond. "What can I do? Please just tell me there is a way for me to escape this. Is there any other things like you for me to go to." I asked.

Doom seemed to contemplate for a minute but then shook off that thought after looking into my eyes. "No there isn't and there is no other way to escape than make your wish. Or you could make things interesting and sacrifice your father." He grinned at the last part and I shoved him into the brick wall behind him. "Don't speak about my father."

"You didn't fight like this when that girl bullied you with her friends." His gaze lingered all over my figure, purely entertained by me. "How did you know-" he chuckled and leaned against the wall. "I see everything ."

Suddenly I collapsed onto the ground gripping onto my abdomen. Tears were rapidly flowing down my face, a sharp pain in my abdomen and I was screaming like a maniac. "P-please h-help me. H-help me." I cried and reached out my ahdn towards Doom but he didn't grab it.

Instead he just stood there looking down at me with a big grin. "If I help you, you must grant me that wish before you die." I didn't even take a second to think about it. There's so much more I want to do before I die so I just agreed. "Y-yes, I will." He then quickly grabbed my wrist and unlocked the gold bracelet that the old lady had given me a few nights ago.

"Where did you get that?" He asked, but I didn't respond. I had already passed out onto the ground.

-

I woke up in my room and was met by a pair of eyes. Doom. "You passed out right as I was gonna help you. Where did you get that bracelet from?" He asked but I just closed my eyes and sighed. " I bought it from an old lady a few nights ago." I could sense that his demeanor had changed. He got up and slid on his shoes and his jacket. "Where are you going? Don't leave, what if it happens again ." I quickly got up and grabbed his coat.

"You're already getting used to me, how cute. You'll be fine as long as you don't take off that bracelet and as long as that silver moon doesn't go red." He said, "Wasn't the moon gold before? Why did you change it?"

"I changed it because you're mine now. That bracelet is a magical charm meant to link deities with humans. She may have planned this all along. The bracelet was dormant but now that I have connected it with me it is now silver, the color of my soul. If you take it off you will no longer be immune to pain, the same for if it goes red. That means I've been renounced or have left this universe."

"I thought you said there wasn't any other deities like you."

"Well now you know." He then walked out the room and I realized that he had left the house when I heard the front door close. My stomach then rumbled again and I decided to just order some take out instead of go shopping. I 'd just do it another day.

-

I had the TV on and was relaxing on the sofa eating my take out until my attention shifted to the bracelet on my wrist. Who was he talking about earlier? I then shifted my attention back to my show.

"We cannot do this my love, you will be killed if we marry."

"It's okay darling. Anything and everything is worth sacrificing for you."

The two characters on the screen then kissed and just as they pulled apart a gunshot was sent to the male characters head. I sighed, seeing their tragic ending but then I realized something. That's my answer. My father won't have to die and I won't have to destroy the planet.

I rushed to my room and grabbed a sticky note from my desk, quickly writing something onto it and sticking it onto my wall. "Perfect."
