I still can't believe that Min Ho just agreed to live with me. It got me wondering why this particular apartment was so important to him. After all, he is stinkin' rich, so why would he want to live here? Why would he go through so much trouble of living with me if he truly does despise me so much? Aish.. Curiosity is really my worse enemy!

 On our way back to the apartment I happen to overhear Min Ho's and his friend's conversation. They were whispering among themselves, however, I was still able to hear almost everything they were talking about. 

"Yah Min Ho, how could you sell off your mother's house like it was nothing!?" Ji Soo questioned Min Ho. 

"It has no value" Min Ho bluntly replied. 

"How could you say that when your mother-" Jisoo was interrupted by Min Ho's elbow harshly nudging him to his side. "Ouch!" Jisoo yelped. Min Ho looked back at me with a slight glare which startled me a bit. I'm not gonna lie, his loathe stares are scary. Damn...what did I do now!? 

"It's not the right time or place to talk about this matter." 

"But you didn't have to nudge me like that!" Jisoo whined as he hugged his stomach. 

Pshh.. that's what he gets for being a smart earlier. I chortled quietly to myself- or so I thought. 

"Hey! What do you think you're laughing at!?" I heard Jisoo's annoying voice ring once again. Was I really laughing that loud? I just my teeth, eyed him then walked past him as if he wasn't speaking to me in the first place. I didn't have the time or the energy for his bull again. 

"Well, I oughta!" He tried to come after me with his fist in the air, but Min Ho stopped him. "She isn't worth it." Min Ho convinced his friend. That comment really pissed me off. What do you mean I'm not worth it!? I am totally worth it I'll have you know!

The guy really frustrates me...

It's definitely going to be bittersweet living with Min Ho. 

We made it back to the apartment, and after looking at it once again I realized how small it's going to be for both Min Ho and I. I mean come on now, Min Ho's ego is definitely going to take up the whole space! I'm surprised it was even able to fit in through the small door.

"Which room am I staying in?" Min Ho began to analyze the apartment. His face carried a disdainful grimace throughout his whole examination. It was obvious to tell that he didn't like the apartment. I can already guess what's going through that pretty head of his.

'This apartment is cheap.' 

'This apartment is worthless.' 

'It's ugly' 

'It doesn't suit me' 

'And the worse part about this apartment is that I have to share it with that thing.'  I bet you these are exactly the words he's using in his head right now. 

I pointed at the room across from mine. "There." I had already picked out the biggest room. Thank God I arrived before he did. 

"Hey Min Ho, I can call off work to help you unpack!" Jisoo offered. This guy is really attached to Min Ho, I wish he'd just disappear. Please tell him no Min Ho. 

"No." Being startled, I jumped before clutching my chest for dear life. It was almost as if he had read my mind or heard my thoughts. I couldn't help but gaze at his handsome figure. 

"Just go to work and come back tomorrow. We need to talk privately anyway" He glanced at me with a raised brow. I looked around to see if he was actually looking at me. "M-Me?" I pointed at myself. He rolled his eyes and shook his head, practically saying 'well duh, who the hell else?' 

"You sure you can handle being alone.. with that?" The idiot glowered at me. 

"Yah! Who are you calling that? I'm a person you know!" Being heated up I walked up closer to Jisoo as if I was asking for a fight. The guy is slim and really tall. Who am I kidding? I don't stand a chance... unless I bite his arm. Tch, I'm going crazy, aren't I? We both crossed our arms as our eyes shot lasers at each other. 

"How about we stop being childish.." Min Ho pulled his friend away from me as they walked towards the door. "and go our separate ways." I sighed in relief. Watching Min Ho's friend walk out the door was one of the best feelings I've ever experienced in my messed up life. 

"And don't come back!" I yelled at Jisoo before Min Ho could close the door. I could hear him cursing me out with such harsh words through the thin door. I couldn't help but laugh because I seem to get him so worked up easily. It's going to be interesting living with Min Ho. 

Now that Jisoo left, heavy silence settled over us. He was the noise creature and now that he's actually gone the atmosphere felt kind of uneasy-  in fact, it was heavier, thicker than just uneasy tension. The thought of living with Min Ho was both exciting and easy, but actually being alone with him right now isn't as simple as I thought. Despite him being my luck, he is a man after all and I still didn't know much about him. My unstable eyes couldn't help but glance unceremoniously around, and my heart was pounding 5 times faster than usual. The eyes that tried to avoid his eventually met when he spoke. 

"Rules." He abruptly said as he sat down on one of the sofas. I was confused. What did he mean by rules? I sat across from him with a muddled expression on my face. "What do you mean?" I simply asked when out of nowhere he pulled out a mini board with a marker before handsomely crossing his leg over the other. I slightly jumped as I pointed at the objects in his hands "W-where did you pull that from?" because it wasn't there a second ago-

"Never mind that. Now that we're going to be roommates we have to set up rules for me to live comfortably." Typical Min Ho, only caring about himself. "For me to live comfortably." I mocked him-- well mentally of course. I rolled my eyes with my arms crossed over my chest. "Whatever you want prince charming." Unexpectedly, he laughed at my remark. Although it was for a brief moment, it was nice to actually see him smile rather than glower about. 

He began to write on the mini board he had before shoving it in my face. "Rule 1. Don't go into my room and touch my stuff or touch me. " 

"As if I would." I scoffed before he continued. I swear, I sat down there for hours listening to his ridiculous rules. 

"Rule 2. No touching my food." 

"Rule 3. Don't talk to me unless I choose to talk to you." Oh my gosh... Who died and made him almighty? 

"Rule 4. No noise, especially when I'm working here or sleeping." 

"Rule 5. I don't like a messy home. So clean after yourself!" 

He went on and on and before you know it I fell asleep. 

"Rule 136...Hey!" He roared which of course startled me, waking me up from my slumber before I quickly wiped the slobber off the corner of my lips with my wrist. "Huh! Huh!? What?" 

"Were you even listening?" He questioned with a furious tone. I mean, if you were in my shoes- would you want to listen to this bull for hours!? Like come on, I swear one of the rules were to not breathe around him! Honestly, I was too annoyed to continue listening to him. His rules were a way to indirectly tell me that we should ignore each other's existence... when that's the last thing I would want to do. 

"Hello-" 

"Yeah! Yeah!"  I interrupted him as I stood up hectically. "I get it! You want me to practically act like I don't exist! Got it!" I couldn't help but roar. I stuck both of my thumbs in the air with a fake grin on my face before rolling my eyes and storming out the apartment, slamming the door behind me. I then leaned my back against the door with a huge sigh of release as I shut my eyes, sliding my down to the ground before burying my face in my hands. Why is it that he gets me so worked up and at the end of the day I'd be more than okay with it?

"Ughhh" I growled, maybe loud enough for Minho to even hear it. 

Instead of him to at least come after me, I could hear his heavy footsteps walk into his room and shut the door. Damn this door sure is thin... I swear I could even hear him breathing through it.

It's been about 30 minutes before I finally decided to meet up with Soyun to tell her all about this morning. 

"Okay, nope! Pack your things, you're leaving that apartment!" She ordered me as if she was my own flesh and blood mother.  Of course like a rebellious teen I argued and refused. You all already know that I strongly believe that rude bastard is my luck and there is no way I was going to lose him again. 

"No way! I know he's cruel and all but.." 

"He's my luck!" Soyun finished my statement in a mocking tone. I responded with an "Exactly!"

"Look here Park Shinhye, not only is he your "luck" but he is also a man- a cruel one in fact!"  She air quoted 'luck' which of course hinted at me that she thinks Minho being my luck is ridiculously ridiculous. 

"But-" "And he has that silly friend of his that will mess with you every chance he gets! Is this the life you really want to be living?" She interrupted me with a question that shouldn't even be a question at all. It's a no-brainer what my answer was anyway.

"Yes, I don't mind at all!"

"What's wrong with you!" Soyun cried. Hell, I don't even know what's wrong with me!

I sighed in defeat. "Once I find out I'll let you know." Honestly, I am as lost as Soyun is. Maybe I'm just crazy like everybody claims I am.  But at this moment, I wasn't as crazy as what Soyun had to say next. 

"Yah Shinhye, are you in love with that bastard? Does your heart pound fast when you see him? Does your face blush when you look at him? Do your palms and armpits sweat when you're around him? Do you get heated when you guys make any sort of contact?" She questioned me in a serious tone. For a second there I felt like a suspect being interrogated under a beam of light that was seeping through my skin and soul. 

I stood up from my seat chaotically to answer all her humorous questions. "Of course not! I just need him around." I answered. What do I know about love? I've never been in love with anybody so I'm clueless when it comes to those type of things.  Pftt.. blushed face? Palms sweating? Even heart racing!? Sounds like a heart attack to me. 

Soyun heaved a sigh of relief. It was like the best news ever for her to hear that her one and only bestie was not in love with a monster. 

"Is that how you feel whenever you're around Daehyun?" I asked. I was curious about this thing called love and why it was worthy enough to have heart attacks over.  

Soyun beamed. All of a sudden, her demeanor changed from annoyed and angered to happy and bubbly. The thought of Daehyun definitely put her on a trip to cloud nine. "Every time. You know it's love when those things happen to you." She smiled, just a little at first. But as she continued to talk about Daehyun and how he made her feel, the smile grew, reaching her eyes as she slowly revealed her teeth.  I couldn't help but gaze at her face.  Joy, comfort, and peace radiated from her smile, her mere smile. Just from admiring it I got the same cozy feeling she was experiencing. 

"So this is love..." I murmured to myself. 

It seems like it can get you so worked up and cause you a whole lot of trouble...but the heart attacks are most definitely worth it. 

I made it back home after spending the whole day with Soyun. 'Home'. What a funny way to describe this apartment considering the fact that I'm living with a person who seems to totally hate me. 

I opened the door and walked into the apartment with the high hopes of Minho being at work, or at Jisoo's place, or in fact, anywhere but here. But to my greatest disappointment, he was "home" chilling on the sofa in the living room.  Before I headed off to my bedroom I took a good look at him and boy was I elated.  I placed my hand on my chest and my heartbeat's pace was normal. I pulled out my phone to look at my face in the camera and thankfully my face didn't turn into a tomato. I quickly looked at my palms and felt my armpits from under my shirt and they were as dry as they could ever be. And my body temperature was as normal as my heartbeat. Throughout the whole inspection of my body, Minho was watching me as if I was some freak show. I can almost hear "she's being crazy again" from his lips.  

I heaved a sigh of relief before a simper formed on my face. I walked off to head to my room and before I could even step foot into it, Minho spoke. 

"If you have rules too, I might consider it." 

I stood there frozen. I couldn't bring myself to respond because in a matter of seconds my heart started to pound like crazy, my whole face reddened, my palms were moistened and my pits were drenched. Heck! My body temperature was pretty much high as if I had a bad fever! I couldn't believe what I was experiencing. I shook my head to shake it off but it only got worse when Minho tried to get closer. 

"Did you hear what I said?" He questioned as he walked up to me. Every time he got closer the symptoms got worse. 

I ran into my room and shut the door behind me before clutching onto my chest. 

"What is this?" I mumbled.
