Just My Luck!

Soyun had let me in, gave me a change of clothes and provided a room that I could stay in. I told her everything which resulted in us shedding tears.

She has always been there for me--through the thick and thin. Whenever I was hurting, she would hurt. Whenever I was happy, she'd be happy and vice versa. Honestly, she has been my backbone throughout my life. Besides my grandmother--who's currently living in the countryside, nobody understood me the way Soyun did..not even my own parents. Sometimes I wonder what would I have done without her presence in my life.

Thinking about it now.. my life would have probably been worse than hell if she wasn't...

"Anyway...It's about time you moved out of that place." My eyebrows furrowed at the words that just slipped between her lips. How could she say a thing like that at a time like this? What is her crazy mind thinking about again?? 

"What do you mean it's about time!? Where else am I going to live? On the streets?"  I scolded. 

"Or...you can get a new place! Like an apartment!" 

"A-apartment?" I murmured. An apartment? What makes an apartment better than where I live now--well, where I used to live. 

"Yes! Think about it... rent will be easier to pay than that old house of yours. Come on..." Soyun wrapped her limb around my shoulder. "Do you really think you, all by yourself, can continue paying the bills for that house? You haven't completed university yet and you still have debts and loans you got to pay for. Not to mention you don't have a real job yet. There's only so much you can take Shin!" 

Soyun's lecturing was quite vexatious... but I hate how she did make a point. There's only so much I can take, and giving up the house to live in an apartment seemed like the safest bet. Though...I didn't want to give up my house that easily. My parents worked so hard to get it in the first place, so it'd be a waste to give up on it now...

"So what do you say?" Soyun bugged me. She really wanted me to agree with her idea. There's Soyun for ya, always looking out for the best interest in me. 

"Well..it sounds good but I find it troubling to look for the right apartment. And I don't think I'm ready to give up on my parent's house yet.."

"I know this one guy who works in this housing agency. Maybe I can get him to help you out. He's really quick with finding the perfect places for people. And hey, you can just live in an apartment until you have enough money to get your house back." 

My lips creased into a smile. I couldn't help but embrace Soyun with my arms.  She always came up with the best ideas, and this was just another great one. It wouldn't hurt to live in an apartment right? Although... I badly needed a job. 

"How about I lend you some money to get yourself situated once we get you an apartment!" Wrinkles of surprise appeared upon my forehead. I know Soyun is my best friend but her to offer me money was just beyond things she had to do as one, especially when she has her own bills to pay. Without giving it a second thought, I blankly refused. 

"You have a job interview tomorrow right? Once they accept you and you begin working you can just pay me back whenever. I'm just a friend helping out." She smiled generously. For somebody like me to be born unlucky--I was pretty lucky to have Soyun. 

I glimpsed at the time and holy I had to get to bed. It was getting late and I had to get up tomorrow for that  interview. Soyun and I could talk for hours if we wanted to. When it comes to us, there's no limits. But I had to go to bed if I wanted to at least try to get up on time. 

"Yah Soyun..I should sleep now or I'll oversleep again." 

We said our goodnights before I got into bed comfortably. Damn it, this bed is so comfy. I sure hope I'll be able to get up tomorrow...

The door bell rang repeatedly, leaving me with no choice but to answer the damn door to keep the person reticent. I just wonder when I will ever find some peace and quiet in this world.

I paused the movie I was currently watching to open the door. 

"Yah!Yah! I'm coming" I roared, annoyed with the whole situation before finally opening the door. 

"M-Minho.. What are you doing here?" I couldn't believe my eyes. Just when I thought I'd never see Minho again, here he was- just standing in front of me-being handsome as ever. The sun shined behind him which made him look more superior than he ever did. He seemed like he was God sent to just sweep me away from my misery.

"I'm your luck. And I've decided to stick by your side forever" I heard his husky voice speak, making my knees wobble.  I could no longer stand on my own. I was too weak to the point where I almost collapsed to the ground, but his strong arms beat me to it. There we were- our faces close to one another- his eyes looking into mine endearingly with his arms securing me tightly. It was like a dream...

 

HOLD UP..

'I T  W A S   L I K E  A  D R E A M.'

I'm ing dreaming aren't I? 

My eyes suddenly opened, waking up to the ear piercing sound of the repeatedly rung door bell. I sighed as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. "Why is nobody opening the door?"

I got off the bed and man was the floor cold. My feet contact with the bleak ground caused chills to run up my body. If I wasn't irritated then I was irritated now. Like come on, I was having this amazing dream of Minho and it would've been nice to never wake up. But here I was--awake and cold. I sighed. 

"What a life.." 

Soyun and her fiance were still asleep. I don't blame them since they were at it all night. Ugh..I still have the shivers from their and groaning.  I sulked my way to the front door. Like seriously, who's at the door this early? It felt like it was 5 a.m, but then again I didn't check the time. 

I opened the door and the sun's ray of light immediately crawled upon my face, I couldn't see who was at the door. I used my hand as a blockade from the sun's glory. 

"What do you want at a time like this!?" I frustratingly howled. Honestly, I was pissed that this inconsiderate person was ringing the door bell excessively. I believed he/she was the reason why I woke up in the first place. 

"Time like this? It is 9 o'clock right?" The "inconsiderate" person spoke. My heart dropped to my stomach--not only because it was 9 am but because the voice was familiar. The individual walked into the house where his height hid the sun from blinding my eyes. I eyed the person from toe to head, and it was revealed unto me that this "inconsiderate" person was no other than Minho. 

"W-What are you doing here!" I pointed at him in disbelief. Ah t.. I'm probably dreaming again. It's probably time to get ready for this interview so I might as well wake up. 

"Wake up Shinhye!"

"Wake up!" I said continuously as I smacked my face-- since yelling was obviously not working. 

"OUCH!" I whined at my stupidity. My slap seemed realistic. 

"What are you doing now? Maybe I made a mistake in coming" He spoke, turning around to head out the door before I gripped unto his wrist. Our body contact felt so realistic. 

"It's a dream isn't it!? Tell me!" I yelped. I couldn't help but tug on his cheek. AND WHY DID IT FEEL SO REALISTIC!? 

He smacked my hand off him before shoving a bag that looked similar to mine in my face. "I only came to return this. You're even lucky I didn't throw it away. Maybe I should've done that instead--would've saved me the trouble." Lucky? How cynical it was for him to use that word. 

I fell unto my knees, laughing at how foolish I was just then. I seriously had a dream of a Minho saving me from my miserable life. But this Minho only came here to return a mere purse I got for about 20 bucks. I chuckled hard. I honestly thought this was just another version of the ious dream, but this was too real to be one. 

"Well...you can go back to sleep  since you seem like you were having such a great dream" He said as he brushed his thumb against the side of his lips-- indicating that I have drool hanging on the corner of my own lips. Great. I quickly wiped it off with my wrist. You have no idea how good the dream was..

Just when I was feeling sorry for myself because of the damn embarrassment, I stood up erratically. "What time did you say it was!?" 

He glanced at his watch. "Now its 9:25" 

If it wasn't for his annoying door bell rings I don't think I'd be able to get up and be ready for the interview. I chuckled happily among myself. I felt like I've defeated the gods of bad luck. 

"You have failed you wicked gods! HAHAHA" 

For a brief moment I forgot Minho was there. I looked over to him and his facial expression read 'this woman is mad'. There goes another embarrassing moment--though I didn't care at all. I just know for sure that this man is my luck, and I don't care if Soyun didn't believe it.

I know, deep down that he's heaven sent. 

"Can we exchange email addresses?" I detonated. I mean-- I didn't know what I was thinking. The words just slipped out my mouth. Even though I sincerely asked-- I don't think he took me seriously. I mean..who would with my hair in a tangled mess, drool probably all over my face and the way I was acting just now?

He looked at me like I was pathetic and scoffed. "Are you kidding me right now?" He tossed my bag at me. It was meant for me to catch it but just like school, I wasn't great at sports. I missed the bag and it hit me dead at my forehead. "Like I said..I only came to return that." He turned his back on me to attempt walking out the door again. 

"How's your leg?" 

He looked back, leaving me with only a glimpse of his side profile.  

"Not the same." He left. 

I felt terrible but elated at the same time. Terrible because I know I'm the reason why he probably has some type of mark or bruise on his lap. Exhilarated because him being here and getting me up on time was just another proof that he's my luck. I don't know if I'm going to see him again, but I had a gut feeling I will. And I will make sure to get either his number or email address.

I watched him drive away in his car. 

.:**:.☆*.:。.✿

 

"Thanks again for the the attire Soyun!" I showed my gratitude as I made my way out the door. 

"Shin!" 

"Hm?" 

"Your belongings should be here before you come back." I smiled at Soyun. How nice it was for her fiance to help me bring my things over to their house. I am really "lucky" to have those two in my life. 

"Thanks." 

 

After a few minutes of struggling I finally caught a bus--and man was I walking down the runway again..

"Isn't that the same girl from yesterday?" 

"That weird girl again" 

"She doesn't look like a hot mess this time" 

Sighs. Why is it that I always ride the same bus with the same people every time I wanted to go somewhere. It really did . 

I moped to a seat and waited for my stop to arrive. 

 

Here I am again- at the place where I met that girl with the face of an angel but an heart of the devil. I tried my best as possible to avoid her--too bad things doesn't always go the way you want it to..

The two faced walked up to me as she chortled.

"You again?" 

I didn't have time for her harassment so I just walked pass her as if she didn't exist in my world. I didn't need somebody like her to bring me down. Today is a good day and I planned on keeping it that way. 

"This good for nothing..." I heard her mutter, hearing the click of her heels catching up to me. All of a sudden, I felt a grip on my shoulder--where the brat forcefully pulled me around--making me face her. Damn she's tall and slim..she really does look like a model..

"What!?" I roared. Despite her good looks the girl was such a pest!

"What are you doing here again huh!?" She knocked on my forehead. And right then and there I wanted to attack her--I wanted to scratch up that pretty little face of hers. "Get this in your thin skull that this place is not for people like-"

"Jinah!" A male's voice roared in raged. Instantly, our eyes followed where the voice was coming from. She stepped away from me, brushing of her attire and fixing her hair. She then flashed an angelic smile at the man. 

"What a fraud.." I murmured. She must've heard me because she side eyed me. 

"What is this?" The man questioned. I was going to answer but the two-faced beat me to it. "I was just showing this girl the way out since she didn't seem to belong here but she just attacked!" 

"WHAT!? No sir-" 

"Don't worry, I know how Jinah can be. What do you need?" The man kindly spoke. I sighed in relief. It's funny because if I was in his shoes I probably would've believed Jinah since she seemed so innocent.

I'm signing myself up for a lot of headaches if I try to work here. 

"I have an interview in about 15 minutes. I was asked to look for a man named  Mr. Gangjeon."

"Take that elevator there.." He pointed at one down the hall. "and go on the third floor. His office should be the first thing you see." I bowed about four times thankfully and said 'thank you so much' about eight times. He just chortled at me. 

"Yah Oppa! You should've showed her the way out!" Jinah ed about. Gosh she's so annoying. 

I ran down the hall to make it into the elevator since it just opened to an individual. I didn't want to wait so I had to make it before the doors closed. 

"That was a close one." I sighed. I nearly made it between the closing doors. 

I couldn't help to think that it was awkward between me and the stranger. I didn't want to look back--I thought doing so would just add more to the awkward aura. 

"What floor?" I asked the stranger since I noticed he hasn't plunged in any number. 

"Third" 

"Me too!" I happily retorted as I plunged in the number 3-- turning around to look at the stranger promptly. 

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, it did.  The elevator stopped working, leaving me stuck here with this stranger..or so I thought.
