Here I am at my desk on a Friday night still trying to figure out what to write for this English assignment, I’ve probably been staring at the screen for who knows how long, I slouched in my chair and sighed heavily out of frustration. I looked down at my phone, 1:23am it read for the time, turning off my phone I sat back up to get back to work. Suddenly I heard what sounded like shuffling behind, coming towards me, at first I thought it was my imagination but it started to become louder by the second, as I was about to turn around to see what the noise was it clicked in me, turning back around facing my laptop I rolled my eyes “Jaehyun if you’re trying to scare me, it’s not gonna work I know you’re here” I said in a monotone voice. The shuffling suddenly stopped and I heard a soft groan behind me “dang it I thought I would get you this time” he said in a whiny tone, “better luck next time” I said not even sparing him a glance. Jaehyun is my demon, he’s kind of my guardian if you want to call it that, I’ve known him since I was 6 years old and he’s kinda just been here since then. I think of him as an ordinary human being cause he looks like one you see just walking down the street, nobody ever believed he was real, they all thought he was just an imaginary friend like every kid had. I’m a teenager now and he’s still here right by my side. “Why are you so serious? You sound like you are in some kind of CEO meeting” he says chuckling while laying down on my bed, “I’m guessing that’s a compliment, but I’m trying to finish this assignment” I said, still staring at the screen, “ finish?! looks like you haven’t even started” he said laughing, “shut up, I’m already annoyed as it is” I said trying not to get more upset then I already am. Jaehyun just sat there staring at me till he said something “Harp take a break, it’s not due till next week” he said seriously “ but I-“, “No buts c’mon shut it off and come lay down” he said interrupting me. I closed my laptop and sat next to him on my bed “happy?” I asked “very” he said with a smug smile on his face. We both sat there quietly till Jaehyun decided to break the silence “Why have you been distant from everyone lately?” he asked quite calmly, I kinda just looked at him thinking why he asked that question “have I been distant tsk haven’t noticed” I said not really caring. “It’s because of him isn’t it?” he said, my eyes slowly widened, I looked over at Jaehyun who wasn’t paying any attention to me, “what makes you think that?” I said trying not to make it obvious. “Harper, I know you too well it is him it’s freaking obvious. You just don’t know who to trust. I get it” he said, still not looking over at me. I didn’t know how to respond so we both just sat there quietly once again, ever since that incident I had to deal with while I was around him and then once I stepped away from him he disappeared, and for the past 3 months I kept thinking it’s my fault. “You know he’s the one that hurt you right?” Jaehyun said interrupting my thoughts, I nodded slowly “so don’t blame yourself for doing something you didn’t even do” he said sounding like he was getting irritated, “I’m trying not too” I said softly. Jaehyun sighed and sat up and looked over at me “You’re good at keeping secrets right?” he said staring straight into my eyes “uh sure” I said nervous of what he was gonna tell me. “Don’t get mad, I did this for you” he said, his voice getting deeper as each sentence comes out of his mouth, “what did you do?” I responded, I can feel my anxiety building up inside me what could he have possibly done? “You think his death was an accident?” Jaehyun said leaning back on the headboard of the bed. “Yeah cause it was an accident, right?” I said which just made Jaehyun chuckle, “You’re so naive it’s actually quite cute” he says smirking. I sat there thinking of what is happening right now “Jaehyun what did you do?” I said starting to get upset of what he’s not telling me, he just raised an eyebrow at me “you know demons can do a lot of things with people, scare them, mess with there stuff, mess with their imagination, question what is real and not real, and well-” he stopped and looked over at me “mess with their minds” Jaehyun replied with the biggest smirk on his face. I sat there quietly still not getting the clue. “So Harp I’m going to ask you again, do you think his death was an accident?” he said, very monotone but yet calmly. I sat there again quietly thinking of what he was trying to say till something hit me with realization and I looked up at him with wide eyes. “ Jaehyun….” I said in a loss of words, he just sat there staring at me, “you caused his de-” I was about to say it till I heard a little muffled laugh come out of his lips. “So Harper..” he said with no emotion while looking deep in my eyes. “Can you keep a secret?”
