Its been a gruesome long week since I've set my orbs on Minho- call me crazy but I've been thinking about him a lot lately. His name, his deep voice, and his handsome image deliberately haunts my mind to the point where I think I should go to a doctor for a check-up. I swear a day have not pass by where I have not thought of him and it was slowly killing me. I sighed for the 50th time as I continued to pack up my things. Maybe Soyun was right, maybe Minho isn't 'the luck' I was looking for. The thought of losing something or someone again was sickening to my stomach. It because things were surely turning around ever since I encountered him, now I'm starting from square one. "Tch!" I bet the gods of bad luck are laughing down at me right now. 

"Aigoo!" I roared frustratingly as I kicked one of the boxes that contained my belongings-- hoping to alleviate all the emotions I have bubbled up in me. Too bad it didn't work.. It just made matters worse.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" I sniveled as I plumped myself unto the hard floor, hugging the toe that I injured by foolishly kicking the damn box with so much force. Aish, Park Shinhye can never do anything right huh? I'm clumsy, half-witted, and not gorgeous at all. Maybe that's why Minho doesn't want to set his eyes on m--- and there I go! Blabbering on about him once again! Minho this, Minho that! When is it gonna stop?! I must be going crazy... I must be REALLY going insane!  Why am I so hooked on this guy anyway!? What is he doing to m--

"Shinhye, are you excited!?" Soyun interrupted my vexatious thoughts. She and her fiancé​, Daehyun, found an apartment for me to live in, so this should be a great day for me. I should be ecstatic, excited, jumping all over the place but instead I'm being completely adverse, doing nothing but thinking about you-know-who. Soyun and Daehyun were generously helping me pack and move my items. If it wasn't for those two, who knows where I would've ended up? I would've been homeless, and wouldn't have an apartment that somewhat fits in my budget. If the apartment was cheaper it'd be even nicer-- but who am I to complain? I just need to work extra hours then.

I nodded my head with a smile as a response to Soyun's question. She being my best friend she knew that something was up with me; she also knew that that something was definitely Minho. 

"Honey, can you start carrying the boxes to the car please?" Soyun sweetly pleaded to her fiancé​. Of course he immediately did what he was asked of, leaving Soyun and I with more than enough time to be alone. After he left, her whole demeanor changed from being sweet and cordial to resentful and ire. She unexpectedly surprised me with a cruel knock on my forehead using her hard, steel knuckles. 

"Yah!" I yelped, rubbing my now red forehead. 

"Yah!" She mocked. 

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" We both roared in unison. Before I could even speak my mind, Soyun beat me to it. 

"You're still thinking about that jerk, huh!?" She questioned me with her arms scrupulously crossed over her chest. The expression on her face made me want to crawl into a hole and die. The fact that she can easily read me scares me sometimes. I even wonder if she's secretly a witch or something...

 I bowed my head in defeat, responding to her through my subtle actions. 

She sighed, shaking her head in disappointment.

I can almost feel how disappointed she was in me... 

"Yah Shinhye..You got a new job, and you have a new home you're about to move into. You did all that without Minho, so he's not your luck. The universe just works in mysterious ways." She claimed, however, I was not convinced. That job was given to me because Minho was there... But the apartment was a whole other situation I could not understand. I'm still waiting for the worst to happen once I move in. I truly believe that good things like this just don't happen to me-- something has to be up, and I was prepared for it. 

I agreed with Soyun just to get on her good side. I didn't want her thinking I'm upset after all she has done for me. I should at least show my gratitude by being happy... or at least trying.

I flashed a huge grin at her where she ree to me. 

"Now let's hurry up and get to my new home!" I squealed as I picked up a box, walking out the door. Soyun followed behind me with one in her own arms as well. "Today is going to be a good day." I tried to make myself believe that, too bad my thoughts were contradictory. Deep down inside I believed something bad was going to happen. Hell, I even began to make up crazy scenarios like...

Maybe the apartment is going to be more expensive than I thought.

Maybe there will be rats hiding in the apartment, ready to attack me with every chance they get.

Maybe the apartment will catch on fire-- with me in it!

Maybe once I walk in... the whole building will collapse, killing everyone in it!

Or- or maybe the gods of bad luck will grant me with the worst neighbors ever or something. Oh who am I kidding? I really didn't know what to expect. The only thing I was sure about was that something without a doubt was wrong somewhere and I could feel it in my gut. 

I'll just have to wait and see for myself once I get there.

"Here we are!" Soyun happily shrieked as she opened the door to my new apartment. This was actually my first time seeing this apartment for myself and I'll have to say that it's nothing like what I expected. The tiles of the floor and the walls were surprisingly clean-- they weren't perfect but it was close to being it. There was no sign of rats, so that was a good thing. The place was small but spacious...If that made any sense. The apartment consisted of  a nice little living room, a kitchen, a single bathroom, and two bedrooms...Two bedrooms. What am I going to do with two bedrooms if I'm going to be the only one living here... I guess that's another problem to solve for another day. Overall, the apartment wasn't that good looking compared to the ones I've seen on television, but it was bearable. Now to make it feel like home I'll just need to take my things out of the boxes and look for cheap furniture-- since those jerks broke almost everything when they were kicking me out my own house. A sigh escaped my lips. Thinking about that day gets me worked up all the time. Honestly, I'm curious though... I don't know how Soyun was able to have me move in so quickly. Is this a setup!?

"What's really going on hm!?" I avowed. Maybe I was over thinking the whole situation but come on... How can I, Park Unlucky Shinhye, get an apartment like this with a decent price in just a few days- without any strings attached!? I don't know about you, but I thought something was absolutely wrong with this picture.

Soyun rolled her eyes. I could almost hear what she was thinking..."Oh, Shinhye is at it again! Acting crazy and whatnot. Why can't she just accept things for what they are!?"

Well I can't because unlike your life, mine is screwed up! And it always has been since I was born.  Aishh...I'm not crazy am I?

"Shinhye.. why can't you just accept things for what they are?"

I knew it.. Do I know my best friend like crazy or not!?

"I can't-" "You can!" She debated, her hand found its way to my shoulder. For some reason it was soothing; it was definitely calming me down. Maybe I'm over thinking it, maybe the apartment is just a blessing- a break from the wrath of the evil gods. I sighed, mentally releasing all my stress and worries before giving Soyun a mild smile.

"Sorry Soyun. Instead of attacking you I should be thanking you...but you know how my life is." Overwhelmed with different emotions: happiness, gratitude, anguish, you name it... I couldn't help but tackle Soyun with a hug, thanking her repeatedly and also apologizing. She claimed that she understands my situation and knows how tough life is for me.  

"Guess who brought ice crea- wow..What did I miss?" Daehyun walked in Soyun's and I makeup session with ice cream for three in his hands. We chortled and told him that it was nothing.

We ate our ice cream as we conversed and laughed about many things. After that little break we unpacked a few boxes, getting situated but not quite-- the rest of the unpacking was better for another day seeing how dark it was getting outside. Time sure does have a habit of running out fast.

"We'll be heading out Shinhye. Do you wanna come with us and stay over for the last time?" Soyun kindly asked. Daehyun smiled, ready to open his arms and let me in whenever I wanted to stay over. 

"No thanks. I'll just stay behind and try to do a little bit more unpacking. I'll see you guys tomorrow?" 

They smiled and nodded to my response before we exchanged our goodbyes. Out of all the crazy things I've been through in life, those two are the only good things that has ever happened to me. Sure I consider myself unlucky, but I was hella lucky to have those two as friends. 

I tried to do more unpacking once they left but I ended up drifting into sleep- drifting into the dreamworld on the bleak floor of the living room. Being ridiculously tired I didn't get up to actually go to my new room.

Good thing I didn't have work tomorrow...

.:**:.☆*.:｡.✿

God this floor was uncomfortable, yet my body wouldn't get up to actually go to bed. I guess that shows how tired I was. At this point I truly believed that I wouldn't be able to wake up from this slumber. However, I could hear the rusty hinges of the old door squeal. The creaking sound the old door made still didn't wake me up... Jeez, what type of sleep was this? 

If the sound of the door opening didn't wake me up, you'd think hearing footsteps approaching me would... That wasn't the case though. The loud but gentle footsteps that gradually approached me still didn't disturb this crazy coma I was in. I could hear them, but my eyes wouldn't open. My body wasn't curious enough to see who the hell was in my apartment. Sleep over curiosity I guess..but then again, I could be dreaming.

Not only was I hearing things, I was starting to feel it too. It felt like somebody was gently nudging my back with the tip of their shoe. Right then and there my eyes had no choice but to open.

I turned around on my side to see who the hell was disrupting my sleep. My eyes weren't fully opened but it was opened enough to witness who it was, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 

I quickly sat up before rubbing my eyes with my wrists. My eyes were set on shoes- about four of them before the observant orbs crawled its way up to see who were wearing those shoes. 

Two men looking down at me- both broad shouldered, tall, and handsome. And I could recognize one of them...

"You!?" We both roared in unison- Minho and I. 

My heart literally skipped a beat the moment I saw Minho- you can say I was freakin' happy to see his face again. However, I could tell the feelings weren't mutual but one sided. I was greeted by Minho's lethal stare that I swear could rip me apart in a matter of minutes. His diminished eyes were rigid, hard, cold, and cruel. I could feel so much hatred from only looking at them. 

"Why are you here!? You're stalking me aren't you?" He assumed. Instantly I got up on my feet to defend myself. I know I can be crazy, but I wasn't crazy enough to stalk somebody.. 

"I'm not! I live here now!" The minute those words slipped out my mouth, Minho and the other guy looked at each other with the mixed expressions of amazement and confusion across their face. They looked back at me before bursting into laughter. 

"Minho. Who's this comedian anyway?" The random guy chortled. How dare he call me a comedian!? What was there to laugh at!? 

"Ah. Jisoo, that thing right there is the girl I was telling you about." That thing? Minho was definitely worse than his friend. Comedian was nothing compared to being called a thing. Am I some kind of creature now!?  

"Yah! How dare you guys come into my home, unannounced. I can report this as breaking and entering you know..." 

"Proof." Minho demanded. 

"Proof?" What did he mean by proof? 

"Yeah! Proof! Prove to us that you're a resident here." Minho's ugly friend demanded as well. He was ridiculously close to my face as he was doing so too. Pfft.. If he thought he was intimidating he was wrong. I proudly dug in my back pocket to pull out my key to the apartment. Why do they care if I live here or not? 

When I pulled out the key their cocky demeanor changed. The apartment number was 4112, and it was clear that those numbers were printed on my key. 

The aura was quiet and awkward for a brief moment. That key definitely shut those two jerks up. Out of nowhere, Minho took action- picking up my boxes and throwing them out my apartment. Is he kicking me out?

"W-What are you doing!?" I roared as I fought back by picking up the boxes he was throwing out. He coldly replied. 

"You're in the wrong apartment." He continued to touch my stuff, throwing them out cruelly. 

"What!? But I just showed you my ke-" He shoved a key in my face. The key looked exactly like my own. "W-what-" "As you can see, this is my apartment. 4112. They must've given you the wrong key...Now get out." He gripped unto my wrist, dragging me out the apartment. 

Gosh he was so harsh. 

"How are you so sure that you didn't get the wrong key!?" I clamored. I swear I've never met a cruel guy like Minho before. Does he even know if the word 'respect' or 'kindness' exist? 

"Hey! There's a better way to handle this situation than just ripping each other's throats. Why not go to the landlord himself and talk about this matter?" For once the Jisoo guy was making sense. We made our way down to the landlord glaring at each other heavily. 

"Ah.. It seems like we've made a mistake. We rented out the same apartment to the both of you." The landlord sheepishly rubbed his nape. Turns out that they made the mistake of renting out the apartment to both Minho and I. I still don't know what this means though. Does it mean that one of us has to give up the apartment? 

"Now if you guys like...You two can live together and split the rent. The rent is 1500 and the gas/electric is 120 dollars a month, it'd be even cheaper if you two spli-" 

"No, I can easily pay the rent no problem. I'm pretty sure she can't." Minho interrupted the landlord. How rude can he get... Is there even a limit to his rudeness- but he wasn't wrong. I can't pay a total amount of 1,620 every month.

"B-But I thought the rent was just 500 dollars a month!??" I mean that's what Soyun told me... I knew this whole thing was too good to be true. "Hm..Nope, the rent has always been 1,500 dollars, unless it magically changed." The landlord chuckled among himself. I wouldn't be too surprise if that was what really happened, after all I am the unlucky one. However, I couldn't give up on the apartment just like that.. Hell, I already moved in! 

"Minho... Please lets split the rent!" I pleaded. Of course the guy didn't give in. 

"Are you crazy!? You and I living together?" 

"But I really need this place! I even already moved in!" 

"Yah..Minho just give it to her. She looks like she needs it more than you do. You have your mother's hou-" "I already sold it off. And you know why I need this apartment Jisoo." Minho scolded his friend. What did Minho need the apartment for? He's stinking rich, and I'm damn sure he could afford a better apartment. 

"Well I hate being in situations like this so this is the only offer I'll give; You two either share the apartment together or say good bye to it. Choose wisely." The landlord smiled before walking off. The thought of living with Minho was surreal. It was also absurd but I don't know why after all the verbal abuse Minho has put me through I secretly desired it. 

Jisoo kept pestering Minho about how crazy it was to live with a girl like me. He even offered Minho to live with him. 

"You're not going to give up the apartment are you?" Minho questioned me. His face carried the expression of hopelessness and desperation. Of course I wasn't. How great would it be to pay half rent and live with Minho- my luck. I couldn't help but gape at his handsome face and imagine how nice it'd be to live with him. Living with Minho would be like another chance to finally get on his good side and plus, I didn't want to lose my good luck charm again. 

"Hello?" Once again I heard his deep voice waking me up from my daydream. 

"Yes, I'm not giving up the apartment." 

"And I'm not either... I guess we're roommates now." He finally agreed with the deal the landlord handed unto us. I could tell that it was even painful for him to call us roommates. Again my heart skipped a beat. Here I was thinking that Minho was forever gone from my life, not knowing he's going to be my roommate! 

"Great!" I squealed as I brought out my hand, hoping for a handshake to seal the deal. He looked at my hand as if it was a wild animal with rabies. He his teeth and walked off, leaving me frozen at the position of my hand waiting for a handshake. He suddenly stopped walking and turned around. 

"Are you coming or what!? Aish.." He roared which strangely caused a huge grin on my face. I ran up behind him as we head back to our apartment.

This was just the beginning of our friendship, and I honestly didn't know what to expect...
