ok but imagine botany major taehyung studying late at night for his test the next day when the power goes out due to the thunderstorm outside so he furiously searches through all the drawers in his apartment until he finds an old musty box of weird red and black candles farther back under his bathroom sink than he’s ever looked before and there’s like twenty of them.
anyway he lights them all and puts them around him in a sort of circle so he can keep studying. at some point he falls asleep through and he only wakes up when someone’s shaking him which is weird because he doesn’t remember having a roomate?
he opens his eyes and is met with a guy - a really hot guy - crouching next to where he’s hunched over the small textbook covered table and the hot guy looks really annoyed. also he has horns. long black horns that curve over the crown of his skull and clearly sprout from his skull, starting somewhere beneath the messy black hair that hangs into his cat-like pitch black eyes.
taehyung screams like a twelve year old girl at a red velvet concert and bangs his knee on the desk and the demon looks absolutely unimpressed. it’s only after taehyung is able to soothe himself to a false sense of calm that he asks what the demon is doing in his apartment.
“you summoned me you idiot.” says the dark haired man as he paces inside the small two meter diameter of the circle of candles.
taehyung splutters. “s-summoned you? what are you talking about?! i don’t know how to summon a demon! i can’t even summon fried chicken and i’ve definitely tried much harder at that.”
the demon scoffs and shakes his head like he’s dealing with an ignorant child (he is). “the candles you brat, these are summoning candles. specifically my summoning candles. how did you even get them?” the demon is definitely annoyed and he glares at the candles as he carefully toes the perimeter of the circle before jolting his foot back as if he’d been shocked.
taehyung literally wants to cry as he stands and looks at the candles, backing out of the circle. “summoning candles?! i just found these under my sink! i need to study for my exam tomorrow!”
“come on kid, there’s no way you summoned me by accident. do you have any idea who i am? just cough up the reason you summoned me and break the damn circle so i can leave. what do you want? money? sex?”
the demon looks beyond annoyed and taehyung feels tears welling in his eyes as he runs his hands through his hair. “i’m telling you! i didn’t summon you! at least not on purpose. i just wanted to study for my test! i don’t want money or s-sex, i just want to pass my entomology class!”
the demon watches the pretty boy with soft brown hair and golden skin run his hands through his hair again as his eyes shine wetly in the dim candle light and he almost feels bad for being so rude to him. he really does seem like he has no idea what’s going on.
“let’s say you did summon me by accident,” taehyung stops his panicked pacing and looks at the demon, shivering slightly as his eyes pass over the horns again. “what am i supposed to do now? i can’t go back until i fulfill the desire of the one who summoned me.”
at this taehyung gulps and seems to think hard for a moment before shyly looking at the demon who’s glare is slightly less intense than it was a few minutes ago.
“you could live with me?”
the demon was not ready for that response and deadpans. “excuse me?”
“sorry!” taehyung waves his hands. the last thing he wants to do is anger the demon he accidentally summoned. “i just- i don’t even know how i summoned you and-and i dont know how to send you back because i don’t really have a desire for anything except maybe passing my test but i have to do that on my own! so since i we don’t know how to send you back yet you can stay here if you’d like. i mean i summoned you so i should take responsibility right? oh! i should probably feed you to oh my gosh it’s so late, have you had dinner yet? i have some left over kimchi jiggae, or i have ramyeon too…”
the demon looks at the boy in front of him, early twenties at the oldest wearing an oversized blue sweatshirt and bright red shorts that don’t even go to his knees and fuzzy yellow socks as he counts off on his fingers what food he can remember is in his fridge.
“…you’re offering me dinner…”
taehyung looks up at that and smiles innocently. “of course! grandma always says you need to take care of your guests and you look pretty skinny so i should offer you food!”
“…you accidentally summoned a demon, from hell, and your first instinct is to offer me dinner…”
“actually my first instinct was to scream, which i did, and now my second is to feed you! i doubt they have kimchi jiggae as good as seokjin hyung’s in hell anyway.”
the demon looks at taehyung and takes the time to take him in again, eyebrows furrowed at what appears to be the most innocent and polite human he’s ever met. the big doe eyes that look at him with nothing but welcome and kindness. the soft gold skin that glows in the candlelight. the gentle, sleepy smile that is nothing but trusting.
taehyung’s smile brightens and he turns to go to the kitchen before the demon clears his throat and he turns back.
“you have to break the circle or i can’t get out.”
“the circ-oh!” taehyung quickly grabs the two nearest candles and moves them to the counter a couple meters away from the circle and the demon hesitates for barely a second before stepping out of the circle and taking a quick glance around.
“my name’s taehyung by the way! kim taehyung, 22 year old botany major at seoul university.”
“yoongi. just yoongi. archdemon from hell. i’m 2,784 years old.”
“oh! you’re my hyung then! nice to meet you yoongi-hyung!”
yoongi just nods and watches as taehyung’s smile grows wider before he turns and makes his way into the kitchen, exclaiming in joy when the the lights flicker back on. yoongi shakes his head but can’t fight the small grin on his face as he steps into the kitchen. if nothing else this would be interesting.
