"Dad, I'm scared..." Hyunjin said, hiding under the sheets of his bed, his father waiting for little Hyunjin to sleep.

"Hyunjin, The Devil under the bed is not true." Hyunjin's dad reassured, but little Hyunjin is not giving in, but he stayed quiet and nodded his head.

His dad smiled at the little boy, stood up from the boy's bed and closed the light,

"Goodnight son."

And his father left the room, darkness flooded the room, the boy is stiff in his bed. He sat right up and grabbed his flashlight under his pillow and opened it.

Light flooded in the boy's room a little weight has been lifted of his shoulders,

He played with the flashlight light's a little bit but he felt something shift under his bed. he stopped playing with the light,

He tried to be brave this time. He inhaled lots of air, and looked under his bed, but he is just greeted by the empty space.

Hyunjin huffed out the air he didn't realize he holded,

Hyunjin sat back up, sighed out and rubbed his eyes,

"Yeah. Dad's right. There's no such things as 'The devil under the bed.'"

He talked to himself. He opened the flashlight again. The light roamed around his bedroom again.

He soon went stiff, goosebumps started to form in his body. He looked at the figure, a girl, maybe just the same age as him, with black hair tied in pigtails, her skin pale but her cheeks were rosy as her lips, the dress she wore were also black, and she has a black string tied in a ribbon around her neck.

The girl looked at Hyunjin, she sat like a limp doll, holding her black cat plushy with button eyes.

"What are you talking about?" She questioned,

"I am real. And I came from under your bed." She pouted while she played with the cat plushy.

"G-Get ba-Backk!!!" He started to move back when the girl stood up,

"I'm not going to hurt you, Hyunjin." She said, Her piercing eyes looked at Hyunjin's terrified ones.

"How did you know my name, Devil? " Hyunjin spat,

"I always hear it. And my name is _____."

"Oh, that... Is a nice name for a devil." Hyunjin complimented her name. _____just nodded,

"What can you do...? since you are the devil?" Little Hyunjin asked the small devil,

"I appear in every bed, but I always pick your bed." She answered, touching the cotton paws of her toy,

"Wha-What?!" Hyunjin gasped,

"Don't be that surprised. And I'm really lonely down there." She pointed down his bed. "Under your bed, The hole that you can't see."

"Can you be my friend...?" She asked, staring at Hyunjin wrapped around in warm, thick blankets.

"I won't do anything..." The small girl asked Hyunjin,

She disappeared in the place she stood and appeared right beside the boy, Hyunjin flinched,

"I promise..." She lift up her pinky,

Hyunjin thought for a moment,

"A-Are you su-sure...?"

"Yes, I am." She said,

Hyunjin took out his pinky and linked it with her.

"Then we are friends! " He said, giving her a toothy grin, definitely not scared of _____. The girl smiled back.

Hyunjin heard the door clicked, Hyunjin looked at her, _____ nodded and smiled,

"Well, see you." Then she disappeared.

Hyunjin looked at the space one last time and he immediately tucked in bed.

The door opened, his dad looked at the bed, the little boy sleeping soundly, his dad smiled, slowly closing the door again,

"See, there is definitely nothing scary." His dad talked to himself,

Hyunjin smiled, knowing he earned a friend. He slept comfortably, dreaming of _____.
