Episode 4 : The Prank

At the faculty building, Spark was already planning something.

Ever since Day became his roommate, Spark had been trying to find a way to make him leave the room. Living with his rival was the last thing he wanted.

So that afternoon, Spark rushed to the student registration office to check Day’s schedule. After looking through the list, he finally found what he wanted.

Day always came back late at night because he had extra tutoring lessons.

Spark smirked to himself.

“Perfect.”

Feeling satisfied, he returned to the room and began preparing his first prank.

He knew Day usually cooked his own food in the small kitchen. Spark quietly went there and rearranged the salt and sugar containers so they were switched. Then he went to the bathroom and poured black paint into Day’s shampoo bottle.

But that wasn’t enough.

After thinking for a moment, Spark sprinkled itching powder on Day’s bed too.

Giggling to himself, he whispered,

“After all these things, you will leave this room soon, Day.”

About an hour later, Day entered the room. Spark was pretending to talk with his friend on the phone, but he quickly ended the call when he saw Day.

Day walked to the kitchen and said,

“I’m cooking food. Do you want to eat or not?”

Spark shook his head casually.

“No thanks. I’m going to order food online. Make food for yourself only.”

Day simply nodded and started cooking for himself. The food actually smelled good, but Spark already knew what would happen.

Soon the doorbell rang.

Spark took his delivery and happily started eating.

“Mmm… the pizza is so tasty,” he said loudly, trying to annoy Day.

Then he added,

“Do you want some, Day? Otherwise it will be over soon.”

But Day calmly replied,

“I’m happy with my own food.”

A few minutes later, when Day tasted his cooking, his face suddenly twisted in disgust.

He immediately spat the food out.

“Eww! What the hell did I make? How can it taste so bad?”

Spark tried very hard to control his laughter and kept a straight face.

Frustrated, Day threw the rest of the food away. He glanced at Spark eating his pizza but said nothing. Since he hadn’t eaten anything, he soon sat at his study table, looking tired and bored.

Spark muttered quietly to himself,

“Let me call my friend and talk nonsense so I can disturb Day while he studies.”

He started talking loudly on the phone.

After a while, Day finally shouted,

“Why are you talking all this rubbish now, huh? Please keep quiet and let me study!”

But Spark ignored him and spoke even louder.

Day eventually got fed up. It was already late, so he went to sleep.

Spark saw him lying on the same bed where he had sprinkled itching powder. Smiling mischievously, Spark also went to sleep.

An hour later, Day suddenly woke up.

His whole body was itching.

“I think today my bad luck has started… It’s itching too much,” he groaned.

Unable to sleep there anymore, Day looked at Spark sleeping comfortably on his own bed.
