You had spent an eternity dwelling within the shadows, a creature born of darkness, thriving on the terror that mortals could offer. For as long as you could remember, the only thing you knew was the thrill of fear—a sweet, intoxicating essence that you craved above all else. Each night, you would lurk under beds and in closets, waiting for your next moment to consume that irresistible dread. Yet despite your nature, you remained strangely innocent, unaware of much beyond the boundaries of the supernatural world you inhabited.

One night, you hid beneath a human’s bed, eagerly awaiting the moment he would sense your presence and shiver. But instead of fear, you were met with something completely unexpected. A soft chuckle, and then a voice calling you “cute.” You had been seen, acknowledged, and somehow adored. This human—Kim Namjoon—had gazed at you with a fondness you’d never encountered. Intrigued and utterly bewildered, you returned night after night, hiding beneath his bed less out of hunger and more out of curiosity.

Over time, you became entranced by him, fascinated by the warmth he radiated. And against all odds, Namjoon began to fall in love with you, the creature who’d come to haunt him but ended up becoming his secret. He saw you as something precious, and his tenderness melted the darkness that had always surrounded you. It wasn’t long before he claimed you as his wife, binding you to him not out of fear, but out of a strange, enchanting affection.

Now, you found yourself in his kitchen, attempting to cook with ingredients you barely understood. You hadn’t known food, not truly—your sustenance had always been something intangible, rooted in shadows and emotions. And yet here you were, holding a spoon in your hand, trying to make something resembling a meal for the man who saw you as more than just a monster. You glanced up at him, meeting his warm smile as he watched you with amusement and adoration. In that moment, you felt something unfamiliar—a hint of happiness beyond your hunger for fear.
