Sugar, Spice and Pixie Vice | Jikook [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3

For the most part, the human was minding his business. He was almost thinking of doing the same when one night the human blasted that weird music all night through those big, black boxes Mimi never seen before.

The pixie got free food and a warm place to sleep. To be honest, Mimi loved warm places and the cottage was super warm after the human occupied it. So Mimi thought he didn't mind the human living in his space since it was convenient to him in a lot of ways. It was silent and peaceful just the way he loved until tonight.

"It's Friday, hyungs! Party party yeah!" the man called into that tiny device he always carried in his hand. Several answers came from that thing and it was chaos.

Mimi covered his sensitive ears and flew as far as he could from the cottage. Perched on a tree, he watched the home with a furious scowl on his face. There was no way he could crawl into his warm nest to get some sleep now.

With a pout, he put his back against the tree and waited, falling asleep against his better defenses. However, after almost falling face-first from the twenty-foot twice mid-sleep, Mimi decided it was time he took care of that annoying human. Maybe teach a lesson or two.

It was in the wee hours of morning when the music stopped and Mimi was able to stumble to his attic. Finally, he could get a few hours of proper slee—

Where is my bed?

The gray shawl was missing from the windowsill. He clenched his tiny fists, lips pursed and face growing red.

That's it!

This was the second time, the human destroyed his bed. He won't let this slide. The little pixie stormed into the human's living space in a tiny fit of rage. Surprisingly, after the first few days of observing the human Mimi realized he was actually clean. He left the kitchen in that state only because he was late to work, but spend a great deal of time in the evening cleaning every inch spotless and putting everything in its place.

A sudden thought crossed Mimi's brain. With an evil smirk, he began to throw all the throw pillows on the couch to the floor. He knocked the small lamp before going to the human's sleeping quarters.

"What's with him and shirts?" Mimi grouched. "Why is he always naked?"

He flew around the room looking for things to wreck. There weren't many. He pulled the sheets off the human and threw it to the ground.

If I don't get to sleep warm, then you don't either.

He then proceeded to the small laundry basket. With another victorious grin, he began to grab the clothes and threw it all over the place.

Done.

Mimi was about to leave when he saw the gray scarf hanging in one of the hooks.

That's mine.

He grabbed it and hurried to the attic. This time he chose one of the cardboard boxes, quickly emptying the contents to the floor. He wasted no time in creating another nest he could sleep in. With a contented sigh, he fell asleep immediately.

Something weird was happening in his home. The first time Jungkook noticed was when the apples began to disappear. At first, he thought he must have misplaced it or something. But then, after a busy week and forgetting to eat his apples, Jungkook thought he might have to throw a few of them away only to find there was none left.

It wasn't just apples though. His Shine Muscat and tangerines were missing too. Jungkook frowned.

What's going on?

Friday night was a blast. He brought his new music system home and had one too many drinks while playing games with his hyungs. It was the most fun he had in a while. However, he woke up to utter chaos around him and he didn't even remember doing it.

He was a tipsy drunk and never once created such mess. Not even when he started drinking for the first time. He took pride in being a responsible drinker.

Jungkook would never throw around his clothes and things on the floor like. No matter how drunk he was. He had passed out like a light and didn't hear a single thing either.

"Bro, trust me. Your house is haunted," laughed Seokjin. "I've heard about such things you know. These things are very common in old places, especially abandoned ones."

"Congratulations, Jungkook! You got yourself a very annoyed ghost," Namjoon chuckled.

"That's enough, guys," Hoseok groaned. "I'm about to get to bed after a long day of work and this is scary."

Jungkook shook his head. He glared at the mounted phone screen. "That's enough, hyungs. You know I don't believe in ghosts."

He drove with his windows down, enjoying the fresh morning air. In Avalon, everything was just so fresh without a hint of pollution. He haven't gotten a chance to explore the forest yet.

"Ah, come on. Think about it. What else could cause all this?" Seokjin argued. "Your toilet rolls were a mess this morning. You don't even have a cat to blame."

"He doesn't even have a neighbor," Namjoon added usefully.

"Exactly," Seokjin quipped. "Trust me it's a ghost." He moved closer to the screen. "At first, it was only stealing food, but you must have done something to warrant its anger."

"So our Jungkookie has a poltergeist friend, eh?" Namjoon grinned.

"Hyung, stop joking. Why would ghosts steal food?"

"Alright, guys, I'm off to bed," Hoseok intervened. "Jungkook-ah, don't believe them. And guys, stop making fun of such things. Let's not be careless. Even thinking about it is scary."

Jungkook chuckled. "Agreed. Hyungs, I'm almost here. Let's catch up later."

"Sure. But keep what I said in mind," Seokjin yelled before the screen went blank.

Jungkook parked his car in the designated parking space and glanced at the building in front of him. Could that be possible? Does he really have a ghost at home?

He laughed at the absurdity of it all. Ghosts weren't real, and he didn't think ghosts would steal fruits. If they were real, they were nothing more than wind. Those things didn't have a mortal form. So he leaned to the most sensible explanation. It must be a monkey. He lived at the edge of the forest, after all. It must have sneaked inside somehow. They were notorious for that.

With a sigh, he exited the car and grabbed his bag. Whatever it was, it was harmless. He would figure it out with time.
