My Roommate is a Gumiho (Frightening Cohabitation / Gan Ddeoreojineun Donggeo / 간 떨어지는 동거)

Wait. Stop.

Wait.

Well…

It's not that I don't want to. I'm just a bit taken aback.

Sir.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dam.

You don't have to apologize.

I think we're moving too fast.

I feel sick.

I have to go to the next class.

What? You felt hungry again?

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I've never been like this

in hundreds of years.

I told you.

If a gumiho loves a human,

he'll have no choice but to walk a tightrope between affection and hunger.

And you're turning 1,000 years old soon,

so your instinct will want her energy even more.

But you don't have to worry

because the bead is with you.

"Hand over the bead, fill it with human energy, and get it back."

The rule set by the mountain spirit.

I'm saying your instinct came out only momentarily due to lack of energy.

Still, I was a threat to Dam,

and it's unacceptable.

Do you want to know the solution?

No physical affection.

The body is useless.

ABSTINENCE

How about you try having

a platonic relationship?

What do you say? Isn't it a good idea?

Right. I shouldn't make others do what I can't do.

Is there any other good idea?

It was a long day.

What is this?

Why does it feel so strange?

It wasn't even our first.

Wait. Does that time not count?

Then did I have my first kiss today?

I'm home.

I really did!

What's wrong with her?

Is she hungry?

My lord, did you hear about the rumor?

What rumor?

They say a wicked creature that feeds on human energy appeared in the city.

It is said that no one can resist falling in love

with its beautiful appearance and sweet words.

Is that so?

They say that once you run into it,

you will lose your liver, gallbladder,

and all your energy to death.

How terrible is it that?

It is probably only a story made up by gossipers.

It probably is, right?

Then…

Shall we turn the lights off, sir?

What in the world…

No matter how little energy I had, this never happened before.

I feel hungry for the first time in 1,000 years,

and it's because of my lover?

Sir, I'm sorry I left in a hurry yesterday.

I'll buy you coffee after class as an apology.

A platonic relationship…

I can't wait to have it.

Right. It's natural for lovers to do that.

I'll get used to it.

I'll grow up to be a physically affectionate lover.

Dam.

Sir.

Have you been waiting long?

No, not at all.

Their coffee is really good.

Let's go inside.

Wait for me, sir.

Hey, he's so hot.

He's so handsome.

Look how tall he is.

Is he a model?

He's so hot.

Here's cafe mocha for you.

Oh.

It looks good.

You got

cream there.

Where?

Here.

Wipe it with this.

Did you see that?

-It looks like he's not into her, right? -Yes.

Or maybe they're in a rut.

In a rut?

"In a rut"? We've only been dating for four days.

And we're into each other. Yesterday we had our very hot first kiss.

What do you want to do after?

There's a place I want us to go to.

Why an arcade?

I used to come here often.

I thought it'd be fun to come here with you.

-You don't like it? -I like it.

If I focus on playing games, we won't touch each other.

Let's try that.

Shall we?

I want us to be sweet like them.

I don't want to just shoot a gun like this.

Sir, why don't we ride a motorcycle?

Okay.

Did you just grab me by the collar?

No, I…

I…

Hey.

What's wrong with your shirt?

Did you have a fist fight?

Of course not.

Why are you watching this?

Why can't I?

I'm 18 years old and this is PG-15.

You're so old-fashioned like a Joseon person.

No, even Joseon people would consider you old-fashioned.

What? No, I am not.

Wait.

Did Seon-woo grab you by the collar

because you were being such a stiff girlfriend?

Oh…

Is that why

he tried to avoid me?

Wait. Stop.

Wait.

I think we're moving too fast.

I feel sick.

That was it.

He stepped on the brakes so I wouldn't feel sick.

I just wanted him to slow down.

I didn't want him to turn the engine off.

Last night, a man in his 20s was arrested

without detention at a club in Gangnam for assault.

I'm innocent.

He grabbed me by the collar first.

Grabbing someone by the collar is like picking a fight.

I mean, I had to do something before he hit me.

Well, it's a shame it had to come to this.

But I plead self-defense.

Also, how can his injuries require four weeks to recover? It's suspicious.

-What is it? - You know,

after becoming a human, I got a great appetite.

I enjoy a meal, a dessert, and a drink. All of them.

So?

I just had a fried chicken and beer.

And it was so good.

That's not what I meant to say.

Now that I'm full, I don't think of anything else.

-Why are you telling me-- -Why?

Try eating a lot of food to soothe your hunger.

What?

I've never soothed my hunger

-with human food-- -Exactly. That's why

I'm telling you to give it a try.

Who knows?

When you're full, you might be less thirsty for human energy.

How is that--

Thanks to Dam, I'm familiar with some of them.

Some of them are totally new to me.

Is this a trivet?

It's too sweet.

Jeez.

HUNGER IN LIFE

I'M HUNGRY

HUNGRY DAYS

A STORY THAT SATISFIES HUNGER

What am I…

Doing?

It doesn't make sense.

We lived together

then parted with a kiss.

Now we're together, but no physical contact?

Sir, good morning.

I believe there's a misunderstanding between us.

What I did and said the other day

didn't mean that I hated physical affection.

In fact, I really liked it.

I was just taken aback because it was my first time.

It was like doing the windmill

when I had just started to walk.

But now I'm ready.

I'll run at your speed and go anywhere with you.

PROFESSOR OF HISTORY SIN WOO-YEO

You pay this time.

-Because I paid last time. -Come on.

He read it. Why won't he text me back?

You…

dropped this.

Oh, thank you.

But how did you know it was mine?

Because I've been watching you.

What? Why has he been watching me?

Did someone really buy it?

Yes, it was sold two minutes after I uploaded it.

-Who bought it? I'd never take it. -I'd never give it to you.
