Shuhua sighed as she scrolled through the Facebook marketplace, her eyes growing tired from the endless listings of overpriced apartments. Her house was undergoing renovation, and she needed a temporary place to stay until it was ready. Just when she was about to give up hope, a peculiar ad caught her attention.

"Affordable Room for Rent - Magical Roommate Wanted!" the ad read. Shuhua's curiosity was piqued. She had always been fascinated by magic, even though she had never possessed any magical abilities herself. Could this be the opportunity she had been waiting for?

With a mix of excitement and skepticism, Shuhua clicked on the ad and read the description. The owner, a mysterious woman named Soojin, was offering a spacious room in her charming cottage. The catch? She wanted a roommate with "pronounced magical aptitude." It seemed too good to be true, but Shuhua couldn't resist the temptation.

Taking a deep breath, she decided to send a message to Soojin, expressing her interest in the room. To her surprise, Soojin responded almost immediately, inviting her for an interview at the cottage.

Nervously, Shuhua arrived at the address provided by Soojin. The cottage was nestled in a picturesque forest, surrounded by blooming flowers and enchanting trees. As she approached the front door, butterflies danced in her stomach.

Soojin opened the door, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Welcome, Shuhua! I'm so glad you could make it," she greeted warmly.

Shuhua couldn't help but be captivated by Soojin's presence. Her long, flowing hair seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, and her smile was as radiant as the morning dew. "Thank you for having me," Shuhua replied, her voice filled with anticipation.

As they entered the cottage, Shuhua's eyes widened in awe. The interior was like something out of a fairytale, with bookshelves filled with ancient spell books, colorful potions bubbling on the kitchen counter, and whimsical artifacts adorning the walls.

"I must admit, I'm not exactly magical myself," Shuhua confessed, feeling a pang of insecurity.

Soojinchuckled, her laughter echoing through the cottage. "Oh, don't worry about that," she reassured. "Magic comes in many forms, and sometimes, it's the most unexpected people who possess the most extraordinary abilities."

Shuhua couldn't help but feel a surge of hope. Maybe, just maybe, she had a chance at this magical adventure after all.

Over the next few days, they spent hours together, exploring the world of magic. Soojin taught her the basics of spellcasting, potion brewing, and even introduced her to a mischievous talking cat named Whiskers, who seemed to have a knack for causing trouble.

As they practiced spells in the cottage's backyard, Shuhua couldn't help but feel a growing connection with Soojin. Their laughter filled the air, and their shared excitement for the magical world brought them closer together.

One evening, as they sat by the fireplace, Shuhua mustered up the courage to ask a question that had been lingering in her mind. "Soojin, why did you specifically want a roommate with magical aptitude?" she inquired, her voice filled with curiosity.

Soojin's eyes softened, and she reached out to hold Shuhua's hand. "Because, my dear, I believe that magic is not just about casting spells or brewing potions," she explained. "It's about finding someone who brings a spark of enchantment into your life, someone who makes your heart flutter and your world brighter."

Shuhua's heart skipped a beat, and a blush crept onto her cheeks. In that moment, she realized that the magic she had been searching for wasn't just about spells and potions—it was about the connection she had found with Soojin.

And as they sat there, hand in hand, surrounded by the warmth of the fire and the flickering glow of their shared laughter, Shuhua knew that she had found not only a magical roommate but also a love that was truly enchanting.
