“You’re the shittest best friend ever, Lee Chan,” I groaned while throwing my head back dramatically.
“What do you want me to do, Y/N?” Dino asked with amusement tinged with concern as he watched me silently.
“Definitely not shrug it off like it's no big deal,” I exasperatedly replied.
“Dino,” You continue frustratedly while munching on sushi nearby. “I just told you saw—a man—in MY apartment! A man I don’t know! And this is your reaction?”
“Firstly,” Dino pointed out matter-of-factly between bites of sushi, “you said ‘creature,’ and secondly…you also mentioned him climbing in and out through your bedroom window! May I remind you that you live on the fifth floor? Lastly? This is likely all just figments created by your sleep deprivation.”
Exactly four years ago now since falling head over heels platonically for him—the son from whom I'd been hosted during migration towards Seoul South Korea—for studies at one prestigious university among others—our bond grew strong after he took punches meant for me from jealous girls returning fire against cheating boyfriends alike—all he asked in return was ice cream which naturally led us here today!
“It is not sleep deprivation!” frustration seeped into every word escaping my lips once more; “I have been sleeping fine this past week!”
“You said that he ‘came to steal your peaceful sleep.’ Pretty sure that’s still sleep deprivation,” Dino stood firm against any further arguments thrown his way confidently munching away still unfazed by everything else transpiring around us both right now!
“You really won’t believe it until seeing it firsthand yourself, will you?”
The conversation left lingering doubts swirling inside—a bit disheartened now too perhaps—but maybe he was right about making things up altogether. Why then did everything feel so vivid? Real? The fear…the touch…the voice—it all lingered like shadows refusing to dissipate completely!
But surely everything felt too real not merely imagined! I have been sleeping well at night for about six days now because that fucker never showed up again! If I'm honest with myself though? Dino's explanation is starting to look more plausible than ever before! Maybe this tall pale-skinned man was nothing, but figments conjured by exhaustion alone?
But still…that doesn’t explain those nightmares lingering behind either!
Perfectly fine whenever absent from sight…yet once again here am staring out windows wondering if tonight might bring back visits just like promised earlier?
To be completely honest, I’m kind of annoyed. Happy sure—but annoyed nonetheless because it lied about returning eventually!
Curiosity gnawed relentlessly within. Wondering what exactly he is to be bestowed with powers capable of inflicting such terrible dreams upon others instead?! Like any other 21st-century adult scoured forums mythological texts and obscure websites seeking answers and found nothing but empty pages instead.
All ancient folklore fitting his/it’s characteristics commonly depicted females instead—is he/she?
Tiredly rubbing my eyes clock strikes midnight meaning officially Saturday morning officially time chronically online ass to put my phone down finally!
Sighing heavily making way over locking windows—a habit learned after learning about nightly intruders lurking outside waiting patiently for me to fall asleep.
It’s the middle of summer and I want nothing more than to leave my window open wide and let cool breezes filter through rooms smelling sweet mosquito repellent wafting around everywhere nearby…
Suddenly, a loud thud jolts me awake from slumber followed closely by a second louder thud something heavy landed on a small metallic balcony outside! They say curiosity killed cats well call me that cat then! Carefully making way over the window pepper spray gripped tightly ready just in case needed…Just as I’m about to peek through familiar figure pops abruptly causing a shriek to escape lips involuntarily!
Eyes shifting latch mine back again asking silently if wanting…smirking I turned swiftly heading back to bed instead! If there’s one thing about myself? Never mess with liars ever! I can feel his confused gaze following my movements closely.
I know this man isn’t human, yet I’m still surprised by the sound of unlocking the window, abruptly sitting upright just in time to witness him entering the room casually like it’s his own!
“I'm sorry waking you,” says moving to take a seat bed beside me casually without hesitation whatsoever!
“Nuh uh sit at the desk instead!” kicking him off the bed playfully without remorse whatsoever!
“You never had a problem with me sitting before?” replying complying nonetheless without question whatsoever either!
“I've only been fully awake once when you were here, so technically it was never consensual!” pointing out firmly standing my ground against any further arguments thrown back towards my direction either way possible!
“We both know you were more curious afraid!” retorting smirk playing lips teasingly back towards direction again still…
“Don’t be cocky, the worst thing could do is kill me and I figured finally get all the sleep I’ve been missing out on” replying sarcastically smiling back at him. Chuckling lightly, his pretty smile lights up his face effortlessly radiating warmth around the room-filling space…
“So, are going to answer my question from last time? Or need force?”
“What question?” his head cocked to the side curiously catching attention fully now suddenly realizing how cute annoying could get easily enough too…
“What are you?! Sandman’s evil cousin something?”
Instead, chuckling broadening smile deep hearty sound resonated chest echoing softly throughout the entire room filling atmosphere surrounding us both instantly!
“The Sandman's evil cousin—that's first! No—I’m vampire!”
My heart skipped a beat momentarily, forgetting to breathe. I was entirely taken aback and completely stunned by the silence enveloping the entire space surrounding us both instantly!
