Secret Cohabitation with a Bad Angel (01) - Secret Cohabitation with a Bad Angel

Seha's eyes widened, and she took a deep breath and let it out. Today is the first month. It's the first morning since she met that mysterious man. Seha's expression was filled with confusion as she tousled her messy hair. At that moment, a rustling sound was heard outside the room. Seha's face turned pale. Surely, I should be the only one in this house. A sound in a house where a woman lives alone? That's impossible. Seha's eyes widened in tension as she gripped the white blanket covering her body tightly. Footsteps were approaching. She could clearly feel someone walking towards this room.

"no!!"

Seha squeezed his eyes shut and let out a scream-like sound. Along with the scream, the man who had opened the door and entered also had a deep frown on his forehead. Terrified, tears welling up in his eyes, Seha cautiously opened his eyes and looked up at the man standing before him. The moment a man looking down at him came into view, Seha's eyes trembled uncontrollably and then opened wide.

“Ahhhh!! You, you?!!”
“...Are you the guy who wants to be strong?”
“...Huh...Huh...Uh, how...T, this happened...”
"I'll be here for the next month. Please take good care of me."
“Who...who are you...?”
“I am an angel.”
"yes...?"

Seha's expression grew even more dazed at his unexpected answer. It was hard to believe that the face of the man she'd seen every day in her dreams was right before her eyes, and now he was introducing himself as an angel. Am I still in a dream? Unable to believe the reality, Seha pinched her cheek painfully, and the pain was so intense that tears welled up, leaving her even more confused. He looked too much like the man in her dream to be crazy, and his form was too vivid to be hers. He wasn't a ghost. He definitely existed. But an angel? Seha pushed the man away and rushed over, gulping down cold water first. She had to come to her senses. If she didn't, she'd start to wonder if she was crazy. Thinking this, Seha blinked her eyes several times and turned away again. But he was still standing, his arms crossed, his muscular upper body leaning against the wall, his bulging muscles giving him a muscular, almost sculpted appearance.

“You may not believe it, but it’s true.”
“...Really? Angels...really exist?”
"Yes. Normally, I shouldn't be visible to humans, but since I've been stripped of my angel status, you can see me too."
“So...disqualification? Oh, how did that happen...”
“Why, why? Because I’m not qualified. Fuck.”
“...”

Huh...? Angels can swear too. Are angels these days different from the typical angels we know? Seha was flustered and confused. The image of the man seemed millions of light years away from the word "angel." His entire being radiated a strong sense of delinquency and roughness. With his jet-black hair and jet-black eyes, he didn't seem like an angel at all. Far from being an angel, it would be more accurate to call him a slightly, no, a seriously handsome thug occupying the streets. Perhaps calling him a devil would have been less surprising. Seha couldn't bring himself to say such things, and could only stare at the distant mountains. The man glanced at Seha, scratched his head, and spoke curtly.

"My name is Jeongguk. We're about a thousand years older than each other, but it's annoying, so don't speak to me in a high-pitched voice. Just call me by my name."
“Ah, yes, ah, no, uh, uh...”
"To return to my position as an angel... I must fulfill the punishment God has given me. Within one month."
“Huh, a month?”
"okay."
“What is this punishment from God...?”
"love..."
"uh?"
“I told you to learn love. In a month.”
“...Uh, I don’t really understand what you’re saying.”
“I got scolded so much for not even knowing what love was, even though I’m an angel! If I don’t learn what love is within a month, I’ll send you to the gatekeeper of the pit of hell instead of returning you to being an angel! Hey, you piece of shit! This is so annoying!”

Seha was startled as he watched Jungkook, his feet stomping furiously, his voice rumbling. How on earth should he deal with this man, who was behaving so rudely right in front of him? Seha could only swallow dryly. By the way, how did such a god-incapable, evil angel manage to crawl into his house? Why did he appear in his dreams? Seha was a little scared of Jungkook, but he still thought that only Jungkook could answer his questions, so he cautiously approached him, who was grumbling, and spoke to him.

“T-But... uh, uh... why are you... in my house? Why did you keep appearing in my dreams? Did I... do something... wrong?”
“Why? You called me.”
“Me, me? Uh, when did you call me? I don’t even know who you are...”
"You said you needed someone to love? I have to find love within a month, too. That bastard called God put you and me together."
“Hah, haah? What did you say?”

Seha's expression vanished in amazement. Oh, God. I asked you to send me the person I want to love. The person I'm destined for. I didn't ask you to send me some ruthless, thug-like angel. Seha was speechless, and could only look up at Jeongguk with blank eyes. Jeongguk strode over to Seha's refrigerator, opened it as casually as if it were his own, and took out an apple he'd kept inside. He began to crunch and bite into it. Seha was even more astonished as he watched Jeongguk devour the apple with relish, munching on it.

“Angels...even eat apples...”
“I’m not an angel now. I’m just like a normal human.”

Oh my god, why are you giving me this ordeal...!!!!!
