Chapter 2 - Morning Demon (1/2)

Park Su-Jin was a twenty-four years old college graduate, and a rather cheerful girl. She enjoyed almost everything in life, and had a positive mentality.

However, she had a mortal enemy, and that was the alarm clock.

If there was anything she hated most in the world was having to wake up early in the morning. It was really a mystery even for her how she had managed to get through school without missing a single morning class.

Little did she know that the unknown hero of her success was none other than her younger brother. He was the one who made the brave effort of going inside the monster's lair in order to wake her up. That particular morning was going to be worse than usual, though.

Two days ago, Su-Jin received an email, letting her know she had been accepted as an intern at Kangji Tourism, the biggest travel company in Seoul. It wasn't easy getting a job there, and she had been happy beyond words at her good fortune.

However, she also felt nervous and scared. That internship meant a lot to her, as it was the only chance to successfully enter the travel industry.

Therefore, the night before her first day at work, she had barely slept. She kept tossing and turning, the nerves making her brain think of all sorts of things, until she finally managed to fall asleep at six in the morning.

Work hours began at nine, and she had to wake up at seven in order to get there in time. That left her with only one hour of sleep before the 'enemy' sang its shrill song.

Sometime around half past seven, Su-Jin's bedroom door suddenly opened.

A young man appeared on the threshold, enshrouded in the fuzzy light coming from the hallway. He was tall, with hair the color of coffee and white skin like that of K-pop idols.

He knew better than to adventure further inside his sister's territory. Instead, he peeked around, his light brown eyes analyzing the surroundings.

In a quick glance he saw his sister lying face-down on the bed. As usual, she was half strangled by the sheets. The alarm clock was also lying face-down, in the farthest corner of the room. It looked quite pitiful, with its glass broken and heavily dented frame. Just by looking at this, it was clear who had won the war.

'I really pity the man who will end up marrying this creature. Of course, that is if anyone would even dare approach her.' Min-Jun thought to himself, letting out a loud sigh.

”Time to wake up, sis. It's already half past seven. If you delay any longer, you will be late on your first day of work.” He said loudly, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe.

At his voice, Su-Jin's body stirred a little, but she didn't open her eyes.

”Sis, it's late. Wake up!” her brother tried again, sounding slightly impatient.

Park Min-Jun was usually a very calm and patient guy. What usually strained his nerves, though, was having to wake up his monstrous sister.
