My heart was pounding out of my chest. It was pounding so hard to the point where I feared he'd hear it. 

I don't know why I quickly accepted his request. Hell, I don't even know why I'm this nervous. If I had known I'd be this nervous I would have never gotten in the car. I quickly clutched unto my bag as soon as I heard him speak.

"Where are we heading to?"

"Keep going straight. I'll direct you to my friend's house."  

After my exchange of words, silence ruled over. It didn't seem to bother him but it was suffocating me. Here I am... in the car with the person I believe that is my luck, and I'm doing nothing about it! What am I doing keeping my mouth shut!? I should at least make friends with him. 

"My name is--" As soon as I opened my mouth the car literally stopped moving. 

"What the hell is going on!?" He roared as he hit the stirring wheel of his broken down car. He couldn't believe that his car would out of no where act up like this. Poor kid. The way he was surrogating seemed like he had lost a child of his or something. The sad thing is we all know that this is the hand work of my bad luck. Him? He had no idea. So it was sad watching him struggle looking for the problem of his car. 

He got out the car, checking his engine and everything that could possibly cause his car to break down like this. He didn't run out of gas, and his engine was perfectly fine, so he was wondering what could possibly be the problem. Well you wanna know? I'm the freakin' problem!! As much as I was screaming it mentally, I couldn't tell him that I was the problem physically. 

I wanted to help him. But my damn phone died unexpectedly. And the funny thing is that his phone died too. He claims it was on 90% not too long ago.

But hey...Soyun's house didn't seem too far from here...maybe I can walk down her house. But..I doubt he'd need my help after I leave because as soon as I do, his car would probably start working again. 

"My friend's house is right around the corner! Maybe I can go ask her for help." I yelped as I walked off. It wasn't long before he responded. 

"I'll come with you. It's better than staying here frustrated" He locked the doors of his car as he caught up with me. Damn it! The plan was for him to start his car again and see if it'll work once I disappear...but he had to follow me. Great! More silence. Thank God he's the one to break the awkward silence later on.

"Why do you look like that?" 

I glared at him. You already have problems of your own and you're here worrying about mine!? Aish this man. 

"I was dressed for an interview, but as you can see..things didn't go too well." I ended up responding to this man. Why couldn't he ask me a normal question like 'what is your name?' or 'how's life or something'. Instead he had to ask me this question that I've answered more than 20 times today. I sighed. I know Soyun's house was just a few minutes away, but why did it feel like it was hours away? It was killing me...

"I might as well introduce myself since were spending this much time together. I'm Minho, Lee Minho. And you are?" 

"Park Shinhye!" I excitedly answered. I wasn't expecting him to introduce himself, let alone ask for my own name. I started to think maybe it's faith that is bringing us together like this. I clung unto his arm, flashing a huge grin at him before I spoke without thinking. 

"I want to be friends" I extended the pronunciation of 'friends'. Unfortunately, I was too close to him when I demanded to be friends. 

"Yah!" He shoved me off his arm, holding unto his nose as if a skunk had crawled by to release its unholy stench. "W-What is that smell?" 

"Aigoo...I did forget to wear deodorant... or was it my breathe instead?" I thought I  whispered unto myself, but he heard.

"You what!!??'

"Nothing!" I lied.

"Let's just keep going!" I tried to cling unto him again, but he shoved me. 

 "No! Let's keep a mile distance from each other!" He demanded. 

"But that's too far!" I approached him again.

"I don't care! Stay away!" He warned me with his finger pointing at me. But my stubborn personality wouldn't let him be. I wanted to be his friend. I wanted to be his friend so bad. So when he asked for my name it was like a sign that I should open up to him or at least try. He kept pushing me away like I was some pest, but I continued to bother him all the way to Soyun's house. 

.:**:.☆*.:｡.✿

We finally made it to Soyun's house. I guess Minho had somewhere to go because of how he violently pushed me out the way to knock on the door to Soyun's house. Like first of all, I'm the one who brought you here and this is my friend's house. You'd think he'd have a little more respect. 

Eventually Soyun opened the door and because this big head was in front of me she couldn't see me. 

"C-can I help you?" I heard her voice. 

"Soyun!" My head popped out from behind Minho.  Her facial expression seemed like she had just witnessed a ghost or something. I knew what she was thinking: 'What is Shinhye doing with a guy like this?' or maybe 'Am I dreaming or is Shinhye actually friends with a model'. Aish...just like other people she thought so low of me.

"Shinhye! So you finally found the man of your dreams!" 

Great! She had to open that big mouth of hers. I and Minho quickly reacted. 

"Hell no!" He roared. 

"I-It's not like that!" I cried. 

"Yah! Stop being shy and come in." She grinned happily as she took Minho by the hand, dragging him into the house while I sighed and followed behind them. Out of all the embarrassing moments in my life, this was by far the worse one. Honestly, I wasn't expecting her to think Minho was my boyfriend or something like that. Like come on... a girl like me with a guy like that! Someone please smack some sense into her. Or better yet, someone please kill me right now because the embarrassment was too much! She's there rambling on about how she's my best friend and how I've never been in a relationship before. Way to go on telling my business to a complete stranger who seems to want to have nothing to do with me. 

"Yah...Shinhye. You've really done well! What did you do to get a handsome guy like this!?" The damn girl was all over his face. Like literally, her hands were all over his face. She even brushed her finger across his lips, admiring how perfect they were shaped.

I'm surprised how silent Minho was. For me, I was just silent because I wanted to die at the moment. But for Minho...I didn't know what he was thinking. I looked over to his face and damn he looked like he was about to explode. 

"WE'RE NOT ING DATING FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME!" His roar made the both of us jump. I knew he was going to explode, but I wasn't expecting him to be this harsh. Well, what can I say? He's probably disgusted at the thought of himself and I dating. 

Out of nowhere, Soyun nudged me and whispered into my ear. "Yah.. why did you tell me you both were dating then?" 

My jaw dropped. What the hell is wrong with this woman, and why the hell am I even friends with her? She gives me nothing but headaches. 

"I'm sorry, I just thought you two were dating or some sort." 

It would make things easier if she'd just shut up. Talk about anything but things that deal with the words 'boyfriend', 'dating', or 'relationship'. I couldn't take it any longer. 

"Ah oh yes! I was wondering if you could help Minho with his car. It stopped working all of a sudden." I quickly changed the topic. 

"My fiancé will soon be home so please wait for him." 

Great, there goes one of those words again. I know it wasn't 'boyfriend', 'dating', or even 'relationship' but 'fiancé' was connected in a way. 

Minho looked irritated. He must really need to be somewhere. He crossed his leg over the other and pinched the bridge of his nose. It was just  another sign that showed how annoyed he was with the whole situation. I can't help to think that he was having a great day till he bumped into me. 

"How about I get us some tea!" Soyun squealed as she left for the kitchen, leaving me all alone with him. God it was so awkward. He still had the expression of irritation across his face and I couldn't help but look down at the ground. I can't take it any longer....

"I'll go help her make tea!" I yelped as I stood up from my seat, heading for the kitchen. He just ignored me and continued to be lost in his deep thoughts. 

"You messed up everything!" I cried as I smacked the back of her head. 

"Hey!" She pouted as she rubbed her head to ease the pain. "I was supposed to make him my friend and now I can't. I can't even breathe the same air as him."  

"Why do you want to be his friend anyway? He seems like a jerk." Soyun spoke the damn truth. He was kinda a jerk-- wait no is a better fit. He was an , like how could he curse so freely in front of ladies. He seriously had no respect, but that didn't stop me from wanting to be his friend. Something deep down inside tells me he's the luck I need. 

Soyun boiled hot water while I brought out the tea cups from the cupboard. I slightly turned my head to respond to her question. "I want to be his friend because he's 'the luck' Soyun." 

"He's the luck? Didn't you say that about some dog you found on the street but the owners finally claimed it away from you?" 

"Didn't you say that about some gold fish you won from the carnival that ended up dying the following day?" 

"Didn't you say that about some bracelet you had, but ended up losing it somewhere at the mall?" 

"Didnt you--"

"I get it!" I interrupted her. Okay fine, there were some things I called my luck  back then but... "Minho is different." 

"Don't get your hopes up. After today you won't see that jerk ever again" She brutally spoke her mind as she poured the hot tea into three cups. She handed me the tray where the cups of tea were placed on, suggesting me to set it up on the table while she looks for some biscuits to go along with the tea. 

'You won't see that jerk ever again'. Those words kept replaying in my head as I walked out the kitchen to set the tray down. Maybe she's right.. I mean when has Soyun ever been wrong? I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't watch where I was going. I bumped my foot unto the table that caused me to screech and knock off one of the tea cups. And guess where the hot tea landed on... 

Yup! Minho! Great! 

"AH !" He yelped as he stood up quickly. His nice pants were now drenched with my stupidity. 

"I-I'm so sorry!" I quickly grabbed some napkins that were near by before dabbing the wet area of his pants which...I probably shouldn't have done because I ended up touching the wrong place...his bulge. 

"W-What do you think you're touching!? Get me ice quick!" He shoved me away. Soyun rushed out the kitchen, wondering what the whole commotion was about. 

"What did you do Shinhye!?" She asked me. 

I was panicking. Because of me he might have some type of mark on his leg. That tea was extremely hot! "I-I-I poured the hot tea on his leg and I think I might of touched his dingdong..." I managed to reply to her question. This was by far the worse day. Now there's definitely no chance of me being his friend at all. If he didn't hate me before then he had to hate me now. I quickly wrapped up some ice and rushed out to him. He grabbed the pack of ice from my hands and placed it unto his lap.

"I got to get out of here. Being stuck on the road is better than being stuck here with you two." 

The minute he tried to leave, Soyun's husband-to-be walked in the house.  

"Great you're here. Come with me." Minho demanded as he dragged Soyun's fiance out the door. He looked back, giving us a 'what the hell is going on' look on his face. Soyun gestured him to follow Minho, that everything was going to be alright.

They left and the door was shut. 

Soyun and I sighed. "Well I'm glad he's gone" Soyun smiled. I hummed in agreement as I sulked. Although she was glad he left, I wasn't. This was definitely going to be the last time I will ever set eyes on him. Well...back to my screwed up life.

"So tell me why a guy like him would be your luck." 

I ended up explaining what I went through today from waking up late to getting saved by Minho. Soyun thought it was just coincidental, and I started to believe it was just that too. But deep down in my heart, I knew that it wasn't coincidence...it was Minho.

We ended up talking about a whole bunch of things before Daehyun (a.k.a Soyun's hubby) came back. 

"Oh darling you're back!" Soyun squealed as she ran up to Daehyun. She gave him a kiss on the lip. If I don't leave now they'll probably try to get freaky in front of me again. And trust me, that's not a sight I would love to see again. 

I stood up and brushed crumbs off my attire. "Well..it is getting dark-- where's my purse?" I looked around. Ah! Yeah that's right... I left it in Minho's car. Too bad I won't ever see him again. 

"I did see a bag in that guy's car. If I had known it was yours I would've brought it back." Daehyun said sincerely. 

"Don't worry about it. It's fine!"  It's not like I had anything important like money or my i.d in it. I had my phone right here with me and that was all I needed. "The car...what was wrong with it?" I knew the answer but I wanted to hear it from Daehyun himself. 

"Nothing actually. It was funny because the minute he started his car it worked!" He laughed. I laughed with him, and so did Soyun. 

We said our good byes and I left the house. Daehyun offered to take me home but I turned his offer down. I rather walk home and calm my nerves about the situations that took place today.

It was getting dark but thank God the part of Seoul we live in is safe...well for the most part. The whole time I walked home I was able to clear my mind about today and forget about Minho. Like Soyun said, Minho being 'the luck' was just like the dog, fish, bracelet and other items I lost. At the end of the day, I ended up losing Minho and there was nothing I could do about it. 

I was finally home. I would say 'home sweet home', but nothing was sweet about it. When I reached, all of my belongings were outside on the ground. I couldn't help but cry. They were finally kicking me out of my house, out my parents house! My parents were no longer here to help me pay for the bills so I guess it was my time to get evicted. A whole bunch of guys walked out my house, I ran up to them and dropped down to my knees. 

"Please give me one more month. I have no where else to go!" I pleaded with tears running down my cheeks. I felt so weak, I didn't know what else to do but beg. 

"Lady, that's what you said the last three times and we're yet to see any money. I'm sorry, pay your debt or lose the house for good." One of the men responded as they walked passed me, leaving me there bawling on my knees. It was a official. I had lost my parents, and now I've lost my house and unfortunately my dignity.  I felt so hopeless. I didn't have the money to finish university or pay for my bills.

"I'm just so damn useless." I chuckled bitterly unto myself. I have no where else to go but Soyun. If I had enough money I would've stay in a hotel but you all know my situation right now..I'm jobless and I only have enough money for transportation and food. I would carry my things with me but I was too damn weak to deal with them right now. 

I left my house and headed back to Soyun's. 

"Soyun...Here I come.."
