Devil or Monster? (Darahae And Chandara Fanfic)

18

It was the start of the summer break. I planned of just sleeping until lunch because I deserved long hibernation but I was awakened by an unusual noise from the outside. It's like there were guys fighting with each other. I moved towards the door just to be sure that it was locked. I'm worried and scared at the same time.

But hey. Did someone just say my name?

I slowly unlocked and opened the door to know who was outside. To my surprise, I saw Donghae and Chanyeol, brawling with each other.

"Ya! What are you doing, you two? This isn't a boxing ring for pete's sake." I scolded them like I am their mother.

"Annyeong! I have something for you. I'll just call Kang Joon to bring it here."

"Aish!" I went here first. You must go home now or else..."

"Or else?"

"Ib dakchyeo! Shut up! Could you please stop bickering?" I tried to restrain them but they didn't stop scowling at each other, as if they didn't hear me. So, I just went inside and slammed the door.

I could still hear them squabbling outside and it irritates me. They're getting on my nerves. Argh!

"Aish!" I abruptly opened the door. "Tell me, what do you need?"

"You!" They answered in chorus. I was a bit confused that I unconciously let them go inside my apartment. The two boys happily grabbed the opportunity and positioned themselves at the living room.

"So what's this? Are we having a party?" I was still clueless. These two was just grieving last week on the demise of their ex. They ghosted me for 1 week and now they're here like nothing happened.

"Oh, here they are!" Chanyeol directed his attention to Kang Joon and another man in suit who both entered my apartment, carrying a compact refrigerator.

"What the hell?" I uttered out of surprise. Donghae was so baffled that he was just staring blankly at the men in suit while they put down the refrigerator beside my own fridge.

Chanyeol was wreathed in smiles. "Open it."

I hesitated at first, but I gave in to his request after seeing his smile. I wanted him to stop doing it not because I don't like it but because his smile was so contagious that I couldn't help but smile too. It's hard to maintain poker face but I need to.

"Uwa!" Was all I could say when I saw the contents of the fridge. It was all chocolates! Chocolate is life! Take note, it weren't ordinary chocolates. All were European chocolate brands that are hard to pronounce. ㅋㅋㅋ And because of that, my jaw fell to the floor and I lost the straight face that I've been holding on for a while.

"I think I don't need to ask if you liked it because your glistening eyes show that you do." Chanyeol opened a box of chocolate and dropped a chunk in my widely-open mouth.

I gawked in surprise. "Mashisseo! Jeongmal mashisseo!" Delicious! Really delicious!

"Ya! I'm still here." Donghae interrupted our chocolate munching.

"Donghae-yah, you should try this. It tastes like heaven!" I was going to feed him with a piece of chocolate but Chanyeol took a bite of it. Donghae, who was obviously disappointed, stood up and went towards the door.

"Haha." Chanyeol let out a sarcastic laugh. "Did you give up already?"

"Anniya! I'll just bring something more than that chocolate's worth. I'll be right back." He gave Chanyeol a cold-eyed stare before he went out.

More than chocolate's worth? Ugh. I don't have time to think what would it be. I'll just dig in to these chocolates and just wait and see.

"How do you read this?" I asked Chanyeol about the correct pronunciation of the chocolate brand. It seemed easier to spell than to pronounce.

"mar-keez du se-vi-nye" He proudly enunciate.

"Ah. Whatever!" Why do I need to know the pronunciation? It's all chocolate after all.

It was almost lunch time when I heard someone knock on the door. It was Donghae. I saw a gleam in his eyes when he stared at me.

"So this is how it feels like when you go home from work and your lovely-even-without-makeup wife waits for you to come home."

I felt my cheeks turn red. Honestly, I want to give him a peck on the cheek, like a wife does to her husband when he comes home. Good thing I was able to control my emotions because it turned out that there were two people hiding on Donghae's back.

"Eomma! Sanghyunie!" I hugged them tightly and gave them a peck on the cheeks which was supposedly for Donghae. ㅋㅋㅋ

We went inside and caught Chanyeol looking confounded.

"Ah eomma. This is our friend, Chanyeol."

He stood up and bowed as he greets. "Annyeong haseyo, eommanim!"

"Annyeong!" My mom greeted him back then pinched his cheeks. "Aigoo! Kyeopta!"

"Geuge mwoya?" What is it? I pointed on the styrofoam box Sanghyun was holding.

My mom took the styrofoam box and opened it. She drew out all the contents of the box and happily named it one by one. "Samgyetang, Japchae, Oi Muchim and of course, Kimchi!"

"And I bought ice cream!" Donghae proudly raised a plastic bag full of Melona.

"Mokja!" I declared and everyone started to dig in the food.

"Eommanim..." Chanyeol spoke out of the blue. "How long is your stay here? Is there someone left in your house?"

"We'll stay here for a week. No one's left in our house. Wae?"

"Aish!" He scratched his head and began calling someone on the phone. "Kang Joon-ah. Please tell them to postpone the delivery of the grand piano. Mwo? They are already near Jeollanam-do? Just tell them to go back. Arasso?"

"Delivery? Grand piano? Jeollanam-do? What do you mean?" I tried to interrogate him.

"It's supposed to be a surprise. I bought a grand piano for you because I know you want to have one. I planned it to be delivered at your mom's house because it won't fit here..."

"Chanyeol-ah, I appreciate everything you give to me but you don't have to do this. Love is not based on gifts nor money. It's the effort that counts."
