“Can I… have a hug? I am scared…”
it's a dark night , the rain is loud outside . the raindrops that drop heavily on the leaves and trees , a wild tiger hides under the half broken window of the church they live in ─ the church he brought mimi to , perhaps unwillingly . his magic kept everywhere dry and comparably warm , but he couldn't do anything about the darkness and the sound of the lightning . mimi's voice makes the demon look up , having stopped cleaning an ancient stone tablet that had old korean words written on it . veelak didn't sell them to people , nor did he want to earn any money from it . he simply gave them away to the museums , threatened the dealer to not let anyone find out who gave them to her ─ he doesn't even know why he does this . the tender brush between his long fingers , gently placed on the dusty desk . mimi looked beautiful , darkness and the sudden flash of lightning that touches his soft features ; some creatures can't appreciate the beauty of darkness . humans can't either , they can't see , so they fear it . or maybe it was the sound of the thunder outside , and the growls of the tiger behind the wall . ‘ .. i thought you were sleeping . ‘ hugging , the demon slowly pulls his rolling chair away from the desk to open his arms instead . waiting for the other to slip between his arms , it's almost embarrassing , it's almost making him shy . but he stands his ground , and keeps his arms open . but makes sure to soothe mimi's fear ; ‘ it's just thunder . it'll pass . ‘
