Love Him, Not Me

03.

     After that little wish I made, I then headed back home and took a shower before taking care of the bruises that was all over me. Finishing all my homework within an hour time, I decided to take a short nap before planning on what to eat for dinner if I was even able to get up by then.

     In the end, I did manage to get up with the help from the loud neighbours blasting their music and a few loud honks that came from the cars outside.

     Lazily dragging myself away from the comfort of my small single sized bed, I brushed my teeth and splashed my face with cold water before heading out.

     As I walked along the cold busy streets, its currently winter season but my poor arse couldn't afford a proper jacket so I just wore on a sweater. It didn't help at all as my fingers were starting to go numb. Taking out my wallet from the pocket of my jeans, I opened it and as expected there was only 400 won inside it.

     Looking around the busy street, I weaved through the crowds and edged through the dense flow of people until I reached in front of a familiar ramen shop. I walked in with a smile on my face as I greeted the store owner sitting down at a table that was close by the heater. I liked eating here because my money was just always enough for a bowl of ramen, and plus the owner there would always give me a discount since I was a regular customer there.

"The usual?": the waiter asked with a smile.

I nodded my head and thanked him.

      Eventually getting bored of waiting since this stall was always packed with customers, I looked around and saw a male sitting alone in the corner and when he raised his head to look at me, we made eye contact as his mesmerizing violet eyes felt like they had just looked right trough my soul. It sent shivers down my spine when he smirked at me before disappearing into thin air when a waiter walked in front of me for just a millisecond.

     I looked around but he was nowhere to be found so I just shook my head and told myself that I was just imagining things because I haven't had enough sleep.

Time Skip:
     After having dinner, I walked back home with quick paces as I didn't want to freeze to death but as I walked along the now quiet and empty street, my mind was just filled with images of the male with violet eyes. Is he some kind of demon that wants to take my life? Nah he could just be a weido who thinks that its halloween.

     Upon reaching in front of the door to my apartment, my eyes darted to the small gap between the door and the floor, realizing that the lights inside were switched on which I remembered very clearly that I had switched it off before I went out.

     Taking in a deep breath, I mentally prepared myself before quietly taking out my keys and opened the door. Swiftly grabbing whatever that was near to defend myself which was conveniently an umbrella.

     Holding it tightly in my hand, I raised it up and I kept my guard up. Leaning on the wall and slowly inching my way to the kitchen, I saw a shadow and prepared to hit it once it walked out.

"1,2,3!": i counted in my head and closed my eyes as I swung the umbrella but it seemed to be blocked so I opened my eyes and met with a pair of the same bright violet eyes that I saw in the ramen stall.

3rd person P.O.V:
     The tall male swiftly removed the object out the boys shaking hands before pinning him to the wall. One of his hand was slammed beside the boys head while the other travelled up to his face and took a hold of his chin.

"Greeting a guest like that? How rude of you, do you need me to teach you a lesson?": he leaned down and whispered in the boys ear and smirked.

     Feeling the taller's warm breath fanning his ear, he squeaked and closed his eyes as his body started to shake due to the scary and mysterious aura that surrounded him. His heart was beating violently and his face felt warm due to how close they were.

"Please.... I have nothing of value to you.": the shorter said in a quietly.

"Oh really now?": the taller asked as he moved his face towards the shorter's neck while the hand that was on his chin moved to hold his waist.

Renjun couldn't say anything as he just nodded vigorously, his body wasn't able to move as he felt paralyzed when upon making contact with the taller's cold touch.

"Hmph. Hahaha, alright alright I was just kidding, calm down alright?": the male pulled away and laughed upon looking at the scared boy.

Taking in a few moments to calm himself down, Renjun finally had the courage to speak up again. "H-how did you manage to get i-in?": he asked, shuttering.

"Oh that was simple, I just walk through it.": the taller replied like it was a normal thing to do.

"No. I mean how did you get in here without the keys?": he asked.

The other sighed before replying. "You dont get it do you? Alright then, let me show you." He said before walking towards the closed bedroom door and placed his hand on it, making it go through without the need for keys.

"Wha-what? How? Are you a ghost?": he asked, now starting to feel terrified.

"Uh uh, correction, I am guardian, not a ghost. What an insult.": he said while pointing his index finger up.

"And what is that?": the boy asked with a raised eyebrow, not letting his guard down.

"We guardians are the ones who make your wishes come true.": the taller explained.

"And how would I know if you are telling the truth?": the boy crossed his arms.

     The taller was fascinated by the sudden attitude change in the boy. He smirked before revealing the the small pendant that was thrown into the fountain, letting it hang in between his finger as he looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow.

     The boy's eyes went wide for a second before chuckling as he thought of a comeback line when he knew he had lost.

"Fine then. I believe you being a guardian part but I don't believe that you can make my wish happen.": he said confidently and crossed his arms.

"Oh really? Alright then, what do I have to do if I really fail?": the male asked with curiosity.

     The boy furrowed his brows for a moment before snapping his fingers. "You have to fall in love.": the boy grinned.

"You never changed Renjun, and I hope it stays that way.": the taller smiled to himself before agreeing to the dare even though he knew he would lose if he did fail the mission but that is not going to happen.

"So thats a deal then. What should I call you?": Renjun asked, curious of what was the mysterious man's name.

"(M/N), you can call me (M/N).": he said before throwing the pendant back to the boy.

"Goodnight Renjun.": the male smiled to him before disappearing again when the boy was distracted in catching the pendant.

"Wait a minute! How did you know my name?": he asked but the taller was long gone so he just sighed and jumped onto the bed and recalled the amount of events that happened in a day before falling asleep.
