Between Me And The Demon
Chapter 1: A Weird Dream
Huyn Ki’s mother
Honey, you don’t have to go so early in the morning! You can sell the crops in the afternoon…
Huyn Ki (22)
It’s okay mom, people usually is already awake in this hour. I’ll make sure to sell a lot of crops so we can have more money.
Huyn Ki’s mother
Oh my dear Huyn Ki, you’ve grown so much! Okay, I will let you go but at least let me pack you a delicious lunch!
Huyn Ki (22)
Okay mom, I’ll be waiting out here.
It’s 6:30 am in Sakura village
Huyn Ki decided to go to the middle of town to sell crops
He needs money to pay off the debt and to feed his family
It’s a difficult life but he is happy.
Huyn Ki goes to the super market and sets up his stall like he used to
His best friend since childhood Ji-hoon greets him like usually
Ji-ho (20)
Hii Huyn-Ki! You have any carrots today?
Ji-ho is Ji-hoon’s younger sister and is also Huyn Ki’s second best friend since childhood!
Huyn Ki (22)
Carrots? Your lucky today Ji-ho, I’ve already promised you I’ll bring carrots today and I did!
Huyn Ki (22)
They’re even fresh and new.
Ji-ho (20)
Oh Huyn-Ki, your literally the best. I get 5 carrots, please.
Huyn Ki gives Ji-ho her 5 carrots
Huyn Ki (22)
Is there anything else you guys want to get?
Ji-hoon (22)
These crops are for sure super fresh Huyn. I’ll get 2 tomatoes.
Huyn Ki (22)
That’ll be $$$ in total.
Ji-ho hands over the cash
Ji-hoon (22)
Keep the change Huyn. It’s for your hard work :)
Huyn Ki (22)
Really? Thank you so much guys!
Ji-ho (20)
Your welcome, see ya tomorrow!
Huyn Ki waves the siblings a goodbye
Ji-hoon and Ji-ho’s family is rich, their parents owns a big restaurant
That’s why they always buy crops and ingredients from Huyn Ki
Because of that, Huyn Ki’s family have enough money to buy food
Huyn Ki (22)
Oh, hello! What would you like to buy?
???
10 potatoes and 2 onions
Huyn Ki (22)
Anything else, miss?
???
Hurry up, worker. I’m in a rush.
Huyn Ki gives the customer their ingredients
Huyn Ki (22)
That’ll be $$$ miss
The customer takes a look at the crops
???
Excuse me?! How can you sell these crops when they look horrible like this!
???
These onions are too small!! How am I suppose to give this to my chef?!
Huyn Ki (22)
O-oh! I’m very sorry miss. Those onions are actually fully grown, and they are very fresh!
Huyn Ki (22)
I took care of them very carefully.
???
It doesn’t look like it you poor filth! My normal onions are big. Take care of those crops carefully if you want to make money idiot!
Huyn Ki (22)
M-miss, big onions are filled with chemicals…People use chemicals to make them look big.
???
Your saying I’m lying now? Don’t you know who I am-
??? #2
??? There you are! Come one let’s go, we don’t have time.
The customer throws the bag at Huyn Ki
???
You just lost a good customer idiot! Learn how to sell correctly.
Huyn Ki (22)
(People are so rude these days, how am I suppose to make money…?)
Huyn Ki (22)
(All of these crops are fresh and they are carefully taken care of)
Huyn Ki (22)
(I’m so tired…)
Suddenly Huyn Ki sees a person in front of him looking at his crops
It’s a tall, handsome man with long pink hair
Huyn Ki (22)
Oh hello, can I help you sir?
The man didn’t reply but only stared at Huyn Ki
Huyn Ki (22)
(Why is he staring at me like that…? He’s making me nervous)
Huyn Ki (22)
(He’s very pretty for a man…)
Huyn Ki (22)
(No! What am I thinking? Snap out of it Huyn Ki!)
???
Ah, I’m sorry. I would like 5 onions please…
With a slight charming smile
Huyn Ki (22)
O-oh! Sure, anything else sir?
Huyn Ki (22)
(His voice is so calming and soft…)
The man smiles at Huyn Ki
Huyn Ki (22)
(He’s smiling at me…)
Huyn Ki (22)
Here you go sir, that’ll be $$$
???
Keep the change for your good service.
Huyn Ki (22)
Huh? But this is too much! Please I can’t accept…
The man slowly walks away without responding
Huyn Ki (22)
(He gave me this much cash…)
8:15 pm in Sakura village
Huyn Ki (22)
(That’ll be good for today, I should close my stall and get back back home)
Huyn Ki closes his stall and walks back home
Huyn Ki (22)
(The sky is so beautiful, so many stars)
Huyn Ki’s father
Ah my son! How was work today?
Huyn Ki (22)
It was good as usual, dad.
Huyn Ki (22)
I almost sold all of the crops.
Huyn Ki’s mother
That’s amazing honey.
Huyn Ki’s mother
Sit down and eat dinner with us then take a shower.
Huyn Ki’s father
Also son, you don’t have to work tomorrow. You did a lot for this family so I’ll be giving you 1 week break.
Huyn Ki (22)
There’s no need for that, dad.
Huyn Ki’s mother
Oh honey you deserve it! Because of you this family is healthy and happy…
Huyn Ki (22)
Thanks mom, dad.
Huyn Ki have a serious in sleeping
Every time he sleeps, he will always be in the same nightmare..
He would always be chased by a demon
And the only way to get out of that nightmare is to be caught.
Huyn Ki (22)
(This nightmare again…)
Huyn Ki (22)
(But it’s somehow different…)
Huyn Ki (22)
(The demon is not just a faceless demon, it’s… the man I met today?)
Huyn Ki (22)
(What does that man have to do with me?! He’s just a normal man…)
???
Don’t hide Huyn Ki, be a good boy and come out.
Tentacles starts to grow from the man’s back
Grabbing Huyn Ki’s arms and legs
Huyn Ki (22)
(T-this is different… The demon usually would just grab me b-but…)
Huyn Ki (22)
(I can’t move..!)
The man’s tentacles tighten and he comes closer
Huyn Ki (22)
(I can’t talk, this weird tentacle is blocking my mouth..)
Huyn Ki (22)
(Huh!? Eat?!)
Huyn Ki (22)
(Is he going to cut me open and eat my insides?!)
???
Ah yes…It’s been years since I’ve seen such a perfect prey.
The man opens his mouth, and bits into Huyn Ki’s neck
Huyn Ki (22)
(It hurts!..)
Huyn Ki’s mother
Huyn Ki! Are you okay? Your sweating and shaking honey!
Huyn Ki opens his eyes and he was back at home
He was sweating like crazy
Huyn Ki (22)
I-it’s just another nightmare, mom…
Huyn Ki (22)
(The bite mark?! W-was it not a dream?!)
Huyn Ki (22)
(Ouch!…I can’t tell my parents)
Huyn Ki’s mother
It’s another one of those nightmares?
Huyn Ki’s mother
Oh honey I am worried about you..
Huyn Ki (22)
I’m fine mom, please leave…
Huyn Ki’s mother
Okay honey…
Huyn Ki’s mother walks out of his bedroom
Chapter 2: Struck With A Curse
Huyn Ki rushes to the bathroom to look in the mirror
Huyn Ki (22)
(The bite mark…)
Huyn Ki (22)
(Ugh, it hurts)
He puts a bandage to hide the bite mark
Huyn Ki (22)
(This should hide it)
Huyn Ki (22)
(I don’t have to go to work today, I’ll just water the plants first)
He gets the watering bucket
Fills it with water than goes outside to the garden
Huyn Ki (22)
It looks like you guys are doing good.
Huyn Ki (22)
Hah?! How can this chili plant be so dry?!
Huyn Ki (22)
Did I forgot to water it?!
Huyn Ki (22)
No…I water the plants everyday!
Huyn Ki (22)
Ugh, waste of seeds and water..
Huyn Ki (22)
(I’ll have to throw this away)
Huyn Ki goes into the forest to throw the dried chili plant away
Suddenly he heard a thump, like someone fell down a tree
A lot of the royal guards with their horses ran past Huyn Ki
Huyn Ki (22)
(What the? Is someone getting chased?)
Huyn Ki (22)
(I heard a thump somewhere here-…)
Huyn Ki walks through a big bush and saw the man that was in his dream laying on the floor!
Huyn Ki (22)
HAH?! What is HE doing here?
He crouches down to check on the man
Then suddenly the man opens his eyes, pin him on the tree then kisses Huyn Ki!
???
You can not tell anybody about me or else you will die.
The man collapsed back in the ground
Huyn Ki (22)
(What am I suppose to do now?!)
Huyn Ki (22)
(He put a curse on me? Was he getting chased by the royal guards?)
Huyn Ki (22)
(Should I bring him to the king…? I would get a lot of awards, then I can finally pay off the debt..)
Huyn Ki decided to treat him at the end
Huyn Ki (22)
(Luckily I have some bandages)
The man wakes up, pinning Huyn Ki on the ground
The man looks really shocked
Huyn Ki (22)
Oh! Your awake..
Huyn Ki (22)
Uhm…Can I get up?
Huyn Ki (22)
Don’t move too much! You’ll start the bleeding again.
???
You know how to heal me..?
Huyn Ki (22)
I think so, I’m pretty good with those kinds of stuff
Huyn Ki (22)
I read a lot of books about it.
The man suddenly kisses Huyn Ki once again
Huyn Ki (22)
(What?! Why is he keep kissing me…!!!!!)
Huyn Ki (22)
W-why are you keep kissing me?! Is there something wrong with your brain!!
???
It’s how I put a curse on people. I put another curse on you, you are not allow to leave my side no matter what.
Huyn Ki (22)
Stop acting silly! You can’t put curses on people…
The man stares at Huyn Ki deeply
???
(I put a curse on him, I can eat his nightmares easily)
Huyn Ki (22)
What’s your name?
Huyn Ki (22)
Well uhm, how about I give you one?
Huyn Ki (22)
What about Sung-ho?
Huyn Ki (22)
Uhm okay…Sang-hoo?
Huyn Ki (22)
Aughh, okay uhm..
Huyn Ki (22)
Oh! I got it, Mara!
The man thought for a moment
Mara
It’s okay I guess, I’ll take it
Huyn Ki (22)
I knew it would be a good name, it totally suits you..
Huyn Ki (22)
Also do you have a place to stay like a house? You can’t just stay in my house, my parents are going to come back soon
Huyn Ki (22)
Aughh, then how are we suppose to go there!
Huyn Ki (22)
My parents are going to freak out if they know I brought a random person
Huyn Ki (22)
What? Where am I suppose to hide you-
Huyn Ki (22)
I guess that’ll do…
Mara
(My plan is working..If I stay in here and he falls asleep. I can eat his nightmares easily!)
Huyn Ki (22)
Stay in here and don’t make a sound!
Huyn Ki (22)
Or my parents will know
Huyn Ki’s parents came back home
Huyn Ki’s mother
Honey, we’re back!
Huyn Ki’s father
We sold a lot of crops today! We got enough money for a whole month!
Huyn Ki (22)
That’s great! Most of the crops are almost ready to be harvest
Huyn Ki’s mother
I’ll make dinner now
Huyn Ki (22)
Mara, are you still in there?
Huyn Ki (22)
Is it comfy? I’m sorry you have to stay in that tight space
Huyn Ki (22)
You can come out when my parents goes to sleep
Huyn Ki (22)
I’m going to bed, don’t put too much pressure on your wound
Mara
Yeah, I won’t. Go to bed…
Mara
(I’m so hungry…I could gobble him up right now but I must wait until he falls asleep)
Mara
(The smell of 100% nightmare, it’s so sweet and tasty…)
He opens the closet, and laying in front of him was Huyn Ki
He walks towards and crouches down to take a look at Huyn Ki
Mara
(Look how delicious you are…)
He pills open the bandage that was covering his bite mark
Mara
(Look at that neck, he won’t mind if I give him another mark would he?)
Mara transform into his true form
Two long purple mix black horns
A long purple mix black tail
And big purple mix black wings
He opens his mouth, Mara’s fangs comes out then he bites into Huyn Ki’s neck
Mara closes his eyes and enjoy the tastiness of Huyn’s nightmare
When suddenly he heard something
Mara had to transform back to his human form and hide in the closet again
Mara
(Damn it, it’s 9:45 pm! I thought everybody would be asleep at this time…)
Mara
(Ugh, let me enjoy my meal for god sake!)
Mara
(I can just enjoy my meal in here then)
Since he just bit Huyn Ki, he can use his powers to suck Huyn’s nightmares from afar
Mara was half way through but then his wound starts to get worse
Mara
(I can’t absorb anymore nightmares if my wound is this bad!)
Mara
(I’ll need to wait until Huyn Ki heals me, then I’ll gobble him up..)
Mara
(He can’t run away neither can he tell anybody about me…I’ll just have to be patient)
