Mimi's mission to annoy the human started in the bathroom. Honestly, he found that white, round thing by mistake and was suddenly too curious.

The pixie was taking a stroll inside the bathroom, sniffing all the scented bottles with delight. He saw the human taking a bubble bath one night and wondered how it would feel to be in one. Mimi didn't know how to create one and today he was in a mission to find out.

However, his exploration was halted by the human's sudden appearance and he flew in a hurry, hiding between the tallest, round bottles that was bright colored. His heart pounded in his chest, and eyes were round.

The human appeared to be in a joyful mood as he hummed some pleasant tune. Mimi slapped both his hands on his eyes when the human began to strip. Sudden heat rushed over his face and neck. He wondered if he would create a fire if someone touched his flaming cheeks.

Shameless human.

The human yanked the shower and water droplets splattered on Mimi. The spray soaked him under a minute and the pixie fumed. He almost turned to scold the human for wetting him with water when he saw the rain pouring down the square-shaped metal head.

"Wow," he mused in wonder. "There is rain in this room."

He studied the human carefully, keeping his eyes stubbornly above his trimmed waist. This man was an enigma. He had so many things at this home and Mimi contemplated how a human could summon rain in only such small space. He glanced at the ceilings, outside the tiny window, where the sun was shining bright and then back at the human.

Does he know magic?

Mimi was too lost in his thoughts when the human snatched the bottle he was hiding behind. Suddenly exposed, Mimi's eyes widened for a second before he jumped behind another bottle with a squeak.

Stupid human.

His heart almost beat out of his chest. He clutched the slippery bottle as he tried to calm his breathing, only to scream when that bottle was lifted. However, this time Mimi was taken with it. His grip slipped, and he flapped his wings only to realize he was directly under the water stream and the water pressure was too high for him to withstand. Not to mention the water was scalding hot.

He coughed and spluttered, his grip loosening and falling down before being dragged down to the drain. Mimi screeched again, flailing his limbs in terror. A minute later, he fell to the floor. Thanks to his magic, he was able to get out.

The human almost drowned him. His skin was red and burning as if he was burned by the sun. Anger boiled inside him. However, Mimi had no time to dwell on it because the human shut the shower and exited the small stall. It was only Mimi's reflexes that saved him from squished into a pulp.

Well, technically, the human wouldn't be able to harm him. Mimi could change into a human sized fairy anytime at will. However, having grown in the Pixie Hollow where his kin hated the Fae folk, he never dared to take his Fae form unless or until it was absolutely necessary.

For example, he did it when he was once hunted down by a hawk that managed to fly away with him in its claws. He changed into his Fae form midair, causing the hawk to drop him. He did make sure to punch the living daylights out of that stupid hawk before flying away.

So he wasn't entirely defenseless. However, he didn't think the hawk and the human were the same. The hawk wasn't this handsome, and he wondered if he would be able to really punch the human in his face even if he wanted.

Ugh! What are you even thinking, Mimi?

He emerged from his hiding place once the bathroom door shut behind him, leaving wet footprints all over the place. Mimi sighed. Now he needed to go and dry in the sun. He shook the water off his wings and flew up, only to squeak and crash into something because the door suddenly opened again.

Mimi's heart thundered in his chest. Something was sticking to his back, and he turned his head to see a white, long roll of paper. It absorbed all the water from his wings, and suddenly Mimi was even more curious.

He waited until the human left to start his inspection. This white roll was truly marvelous. It dried his body and absorbed the water so quickly and efficiently that he didn't even need the sun anymore.

"Perfect!" He clapped.

Mimi was about to fly through the small outside window when the human returned.

"Holy crap!" he heard a cursed and turned his head in time to see the white mess he left on the floor. The human's face contorted, and he let out a groan. "How did this even happen?" The human started to clean but cursed after eying his wrist. "I hate it when this happens. I'm already running late." He stared at it for a few minutes with pure pain on his face before he rushed outside with another curse.

Mimi grinned. So this was all it took to annoy the human. Served him right for destroying his bed and disturbing his sleep. An idea crossed his thoughts, and he grinned wickedly, rubbing his hands together.

I'm gonna make you pay, human. You will wish you never crossed paths with me.

Jungkook frowned, glaring at the Microwave. He was sure he turned it on before going to dress. But the food was still cold and barely warm. So, with a scowl, he set the timer once again before heading to his room so he could finish dressing.

When he came back to take the food outside, his irritation flared. "Really?" he growled. "This is not the time for you to mess with me." He pointed his finger a the wretched device. "I'm so fucking hungry, and you're playing with my food." He popped the container back into the oven and set the timer again.

Did it stop working? He didn't even know anyone who could repair the oven in this small town. He would have to ask around. Shit. He should have just stuck to the stove.

He poured a mug of coffee, sipping it furiously as the timer stopped. Jungkook immediately opened the door and grabbed the container, only to drop it with a hiss because it was hot this time.

"What's wrong with you?" he whined before grabbing it carefully this time. He brought it to the table and blew the food, shoveling it as fast as possible.

Jungkook didn't like to be late, but morning just wasn't his favorite time of the day. He finished the food in record time and rushed outside. Once again, he didn't get time to wash the dishes. He really hated leaving them in the sink, but he never managed to get them done on time. So it would have to wait.

As he backed away from the driveway, he pouted. He tried to wake early but ended up snoozing the alarm and slept a bit more because the bed was too cozy. With a sigh, he entered the road and sped up, hoping tomorrow he would be able to wake up sooner.

Wrong.

Jungkook was so wrong.

He was late once again. This time, however, it was because of his missing car keys.

Damn.

He swore he put it in the designated bowl like he did every evening. He has been searching the living room for the past fifteen minutes with no luck. The bowl sat in the same place, undisturbed. It was only his keys that were missing. He thought it'd have fallen on the floor, but it wasn't on the floor anywhere either.

Jungkook gripped his head with a growl. Where the heck did I put it?

He doesn't even drink during weekdays. There was no way he misplaced it. He checked the time. Great. Now he was late.

"Fuck this!"

He hurried to his room and rummaged through his items, finding the box where he kept the spare key. Evening, he would tear this place down and turn it upside down if needed. But he won't stop until he found the keys.

He ran out of his home, driving away in his car.

***

Mimi watched everything unfolding from his hidden place on top of a wooden beam with Peter and Angelo beside him. The pixie smiled in glee. The keys were as heavy as him. But nothing little magic can't do.

He wasn't expecting the human to have another set of keys, but that was okay. A few minutes of annoying growls and frustrated groans were really worth it. The human was really cute when he pouted and talked to himself. Sometimes he looked like a complaining child.

Mimi laughed as he took the keys to his small box, hiding it under the scarf.

Perfect.

He marched away to perform his daily duties, already plotting what he wanted to do to the human.
