Kon woke up earlier than the devil. He sat on the bed and watched the devil sleep.
“This might be the last time I will see you, Osy.” He murmured before he kissed the devil's forehead. "I would have loved to stay, but I don't want to be the other man."
Kon slowly rose from the bed, as he made sure not to wake the devil.
The devil didn't stir until Kon entered the bathroom to bathe; that was when the devil woke.
“Are you in there, Kon?” He yawned as he knocked on the door.
“Yes,” Kon responded after a few minutes of silence. Though he wanted to pretend he didn't hear the question, he knew it was futile.
The sound of rushing water gave him away.
“Mind if I join you?”
“Of course, not.” Kon opened the door. “You can join me all you want.” He forced a smile at the devil.
