taehyung groaned as the alarm clock blared into his ears mercilessly. stretching a hand out to turn the annoying thing off, he then reluctantly pushed himself off the bed and recalled the hazy memories of last night's events which involved his bizarre new roommate.

( he had a smug look as he answered, "i'm from hell."

"sure, you are," taehyung deadpanned. "what's your name?"

"uh, j-jeon jungkook," the ravenet said.

"right, jungkook," taehyung muttered. "listen, i'm beyond worn out right now and i'd really appreciate it if you'd let me have a good night's rest so that i won't die in my morning class tomorrow. thanks," he finished, not waiting for his roommate's reply before jumping onto the mattress and was out like a light within minutes. )

taehyung sighed as he shifted his gaze over to the other side of the room where jungkook was sleeping soundly on his own bed, all his boxes still left piled up and in the midst of being unpacked. he wasn't sure if the younger male had any morning classes today but nevertheless, he still felt like he should wake him up just in case if he did have morning classes.

he didn't want him to miss a class on the first day of college but heck, who was he kidding? that guy pretended to not even know what a freshman was.

trudging over to the lump underneath the blanket, taehyung lightly shook jungkook's shoulder and to no surprise, the other didn't budge the slightest. he began to grow agitated when jungkook continued to show absolutely no signs of waking up anytime soon despite the elder using even more force to shake him.

"i swear to god," taehyung muttered under his breath, ripping the blanket away from jungkook and reaching down to roughly slap his ass as the last resort.

that luckily worked as jungkook jumped up with a soft shriek, nearly knocking the crown of his head against his bed's headboard from the sudden movement, cheeks immediately dusting over with a soft hue of pink. he quickly looked around the room before glancing up to be met with taehyung's completely stoic and unamused expression.

"good morning?" jungkook hesitantly greeted.

"i'm surprised you know how to say that," taehyung sarcastically remarked but only got a confused frown from the black-haired male in return. "do you have any morning classes?"

jungkook slowly scratched behind his ear. "uh, i don't know."

"you don't know?" taehyung echoed in pure disbelief, wanting nothing more than to bash his head into a wall at the moment.

"i mean, i think i'm majoring in psychology or something. are there psychology classes... in the morning?" jungkook questioned.

"you're asking me? dude, i don't fucking know, i don't take psychology," taehyung replied with an exasperated groan. "shouldn't you have gotten a timetable or something from the front office yesterday?"

"w-what's a timetable?" jungkook mumbled.

taehyung nearly screamed.

"you're kidding. there's no way you're an 18-year-old human," he said, partially serious and partially not.

"i'm not human, i already told you that but you just didn't believe me," jungkook grumbled whilst folding his arms over his chest. the silver-haired man tried his best to not stare at how effortlessly his bicep muscles flexed at the small motion.

"you can't expect me to believe that you're from hell, jungkook," taehyung retorted with a click of his tongue. "hell doesn't even exist, for fuck's sake."

"but it's the truth! hell does exist," jungkook claimed, kicking with his legs on top of the bed like a whining child.

"right," taehyung absentmindedly spoke. "listen, i don't know what you're planning to do. i couldn't care less if you want to skip your classes or not but i really need to get to my own classes, okay? quit this roleplay shit of yours because it's starting to get annoying and if you don't, i'm going to have to tell them to reassign a new roommate for me," he claimed, his patience finally snapping like a string.

jungkook pouted. "but—"

"no. now if you'll excuse me, i need to get ready for my morning class because unlike someone here, i actually want to get a degree and graduate," taehyung snarkily remarked. you could say that he was going a little too far, but he couldn't stop himself from sounding like a dick; everything was just coming up like word vomit.

with no response from his roommate, taehyung rolled his eyes and turned around, about to grab an outfit from the wardrobe and head into the bathroom to change when he felt a sudden presence behind him and warm air being blown onto the nape of his neck.

"jungkook, for the last time," he began with an irritated scowl, whipping his head around to give the younger a piece of his mind when he felt all the oxygen being knocked out of his lungs at the pair of glowing crimson eyes that stared right back at him. wait—

his eyes were literally fucking red.

taehyung couldn't look away from them.

the ravenet's eyes were shining a beautiful shade of bright scarlet with ethereal flecks of dark maroon and bright orange dancing around those obsidian pupils, almost as if his irises carried the very essence of burning lava itself.

"y-you—how—" the older was at an utter loss for words.

"if you truly don't believe me," jungkook began, a sinister smirk tugging on the corners of his thin lips. "then i'll just have to make you believe me, kim taehyung."

"hold on, i—"

"but first, let's do something about that attitude of yours, hyung," jungkook continued with a raised brow, gradually leaning forwards until he was dangerously close to the other's face and he could hear taehyung's nervous breath hitch in his throat.

"demons don't like being disrespected, and i am no exception."

a/n: yes, this is taehyung!top.
