A month and a half went by faster than a blink of an eye. Jinyoung followed Jaebum to work everyday and was actually a big help, impressing not only his co-workers, but his boss as well. He was still a dick to Jaebum, no doubt, but to customers and people they passed on the street, Jinyoung was a full on sweetheart. Jaebum's never seen anyone more two faced in his life.
Though that sounded like a bad thing, it was actually a bit charming. Jinyoung had a way with his demeanor and words that had people instantly liking him; it was interesting to watch from Jaebum's perspective. Every time he would point out the other's nice side, Jinyoung would deny it with all his heart despite the countless amount of evidence that was stacked against him. And when he'd switch back to his mean side, his insults had grown pretty weak, and rather than annoyed Jaebum, they were more amusing than anything.
It was weird how fast he'd gotten used to an angel living with him. He thought it would just be an awkward two weeks or so of endless bickering and empty threats at one another, but it turned out to be much easier to deal with than he thought, despite the stay being way longer than first expected.
He actually briefly considered buying Jinyoung a bed, considering he'd been sleeping on the couch for all this time with surprisingly no complaints. He didn't mind converting part of his bedroom into Jinyoung's space, especially since his time left on earth was unknown. He could leave as soon as the next day, or he could be stuck there for years to come; the least Jaebum could do was provide him with a comfortable place to rest his head.
Things ended up working out differently though in question of their sleeping arrangements, all due to one stormy night that happened to be the first time really bad weather had came during Jinyoung's stay.
Jaebum was fast asleep in his bed, awoken not by the thunder outside, but a distant yelp from the living room. He laid there, ignoring the noise and passing it off as Jinyoung flipping through the numerous TV channels late at night with no consideration of the volume, only to hear the same startled yelp again and footsteps quickly travelling across the floor.
Jaebum sat up, listening for more of the strange noises. He was somewhat of a chicken in these situations, usually if he heard a weird sound he'd lock his door and stay in his room, only to wake up the next morning and find out it was a water bottle falling to the floor. But this time was a bit different, he'd always pass those noises off as Jinyoung doing something, since sometimes the angel does use the bathroom late at night or raid the cabinets for snacks. It didn't sound that way though, it sounded as if something were wrong, and those tiny yelps had to belong to Jinyoung.
He couldn't just lock his door and ignore it, he would feel awful if something happened that he could've prevented. Jaebum took in a breath of courage, finally urging himself to get out of bed and check on his guest. He slowly opened his bedroom door, peering out into the living room. His eyes immediately locked on the empty couch, his heart thumping hard against his chest as he tried to locate the missing angel.
"Jinyoung?"
He stepped out of his room, slowly walking along the wooden floor that creaked under his weight. A quick scan of the living room came up with no sign of Jinyoung, and the bathroom door was open, so it was easy to see he wasn't in there either.
"Jinyoung where are you?" He called again, for a moment wondering if he should arm himself with something just in case someone popped out of nowhere. He reached for the television remote that sat atop the coffee table. Wasn't the best weapon, but better than nothing. "Jin-"
A flash of light filled the apartment, a loud roll of thunder following. Another yelp came from from the kitchen, startling Jaebum who truly didn't want to go in there, but knew that if he didn't check on the mysterious noise he would be too terrified to go back to sleep, especially with Jinyoung missing.
