Sunghoon sighed with his arms crossed. He rolled his eyes as he stared at the witch across from him. “Ugh, not you again.”
“Yes, it’s me~” She mused and walked around the podium she had her grimoire on and stopped by the summoning circle he was standing in. “I need a favor from you, demon.”
“Every time you summon me here for a favor, it’s always for something stupid. So do enlighten me this time, witch. What stupid favor do you want me to do this time?”
“See, I got invited to a ball—”
“Immediately, no,” Sunghoon rejected. “Send me back home.”
“No! I summoned you here to do me a favor and that’s the favor. You have to listen to me.”
“I’d rather sit here and learn how to crochet than go to a ball.”
The witch sighed. “You’re seriously rejecting the chance to step out of the summoning circle? Every other time you’ve been here, you wanted nothing more than to get out and now there’s a chance and you won’t take it?”
“Because every other time you made me do boring things. I’m a demon, not your lackey. Besides, why in the seven hells would I even want to go anyway?”
“It’s the blood moon tonight! All of the world’s most powerful witches will be there, including our leader! You’ve said before you want to meet her, don’t you?”
“Yeah, to kill her and deliver her head to the Devil.” Sunghoon frowned, crossing his arms again. “I doubt you’d want that to happen.”
She smiled. “Of course not, but it’s not like it can anyway. As per your favor summoning agreement, you’re only allowed to do what I say, not what you want. You’re not allowed to do anything but what I tell you to do the entire time.”
Sunghoon’s eye twitched in annoyance. “I hate you.”
“I know you do~ so, demon, the favor I need from you tonight is to be my date to the witch’s ball and you have to stay by me the entire night.”
“Do I have to fawn over you also?”
“Of course you do! I’m trying to make everyone jealous. A handsome man on my arm ought to turn some heads.” She grinned. “The older witches can’t make fun of me for having shown up another year without a partner and the warlocks can stop looking at me like a prize they want to ruin.”
Sunghoon frowned and observed the witch. “Hardly a prize to even look at.”
The witch rolled her eyes. “We’ll have none of that either, demon. No insults for the rest of the night.”
“Sunghoon,” he said.
“Hm?”
“My name is Sunghoon. You might as well know it since you want me to pretend to be your partner.”
“Ah~ well then, Sunghoon, do we have a deal?” She stuck her hand into the protection circle and smiled.
“I imagine if I don’t agree you’d leave me here in your dingy attic for weeks without food so I have no choice.” He shook her hand. “Deal. This deal ends when you send me back home, meaning your soul—”
She grinned and pulled him from the circle with ease. “Yeah, yeah, I got it. After all the times I’ve summoned you, I know the rules. Now, let’s get you changed into something more appropriate.”
Sunghoon frowned and looked down at the suit he wore. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing? Is it not already appropriate for a ball?”
“Nope. It needs to be a bit more flashy. Maybe some sparkles.”
