Amid my drowsiness, I unconsciously moved my body, responding to the sounds I heard. I'm trying to sleep, but my neighbor's noisy this early at six too!

Snippets of thuds came from the apartment next to me that belonged to Ms. Goddess. Whatever she's doing, for heaven's sake. Please lower the noise.

As much as I'd like to complain, it's not like I could knock on her door and do that, right? We talked about treating each other like air, after all.

I slowly sat up and stood up to walk my way toward the bathroom. I might as well just wake up since I didn't think I could fall asleep. I should clean my apartment, too. It's been almost a week of no cleaning.

The mirror reflected my listless appearance, with one side of my cheeks red. My face looked tired like I had no energy at all. I washed my face and wiped my face with the tidily folded towel. Thank god there are no early classes today.

As I made my way to the nearby trashcan, I grabbed a trash bag from the nearby shelves to put the trash inside of it. While I was doing this, Ms. Goddess's apartment noise finally disappeared.

I stretched my body, tied my hair into a ponytail, and stepped outside the apartment with the trash bag. In a somewhat good mood, I started to hum while going downstairs to throw the trash.

After that, I went back to my apartment only to see one... two... three... four?! Four men came out from my neighbor's apartment, and I'm not even going to think of what these people were doing inside there. I won't be nosy.

Walking past the people like nothing happened, I couldn't help but glance at the door and see my neighbor in an oversized long-sleeved shirt. The shirt was a bit loosened as well as the buttons, and her shoulder showed along with her collarbone. Hot, but let's not get into insolent thoughts, Kim Minjeong.

"Just get out... we're done," Jimin said with her usual monotone voice.

"But, baby-"

Before the man could speak, Jimin closed the door and left the four men standing in disappointment. It's not like I eavesdropped. They were being loud.

Continuing what I was doing, I stepped back inside my apartment, grabbing the broom and dustpan to sweep the floor. Cleaning the apartment took me almost an hour, then there's the mop... right, this will be long.

———————————————

After a few hours of cleaning, I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead and smiled with satisfaction. The apartment was sparkling, and I'm proud of that. Though I'm kind of sweaty, it is a bit uncomfortable.

Let's take a bath, then go straight to class.

As I was about to walk inside the bathroom to clean up, I suddenly heard a knock on my door, which annoyed me. It's probably none other than Ning. Is she going to pick me up again?

Approaching the door, I opened the door.

"Ning go awa-"

"Minjeong! Please w— — wait... who are you?!"

I widened my eyes. It was surprising to see someone else other than Ning visiting my place. It was Jeno. I didn't even tell him my address, but why the is he here?

I gave him a wry smile, "What are you doing here?"

"M-Minjeong! I think there's a strang-"

", it's me."

Jeno blinked his eyes in disbelief and began examining me from top to bottom. The moment he gulped got me to release a disgusted face. Someone like him is checking me out? What the frick is going on?

I clapped my hands in front of him, "Jeno!"

"H-H-Hah?"

"Bruh." I rolled my eyes, "What are YOU doing here?"

"O-Oh right, excuse me!" Jeno cleared his throat, "Kendo! Please join us! The tournament is coming soon and-"

"No... a million times no." I sighed, "Look... Jeno I'm done, I don't wanna grab or touch one of those again. Now please leave me alone, tell your coach or whatever that I quit a long time ago."

"Ah."

"Plus, where did you get my address?"

"Ning."

"Aight."

I closed the door.

"Okay! I'll respect that!"

Ugh, he's so loud... I just hope he didn't disturb the neighbors— Oh wait, it doesn't matter. I already got disturbed.

"You know, you should keep that look more often!"

"Go away!"

That guy's so dense. He just insulted me indirectly... hah, I don't care. I couldn't help but chuckle at this while walking toward the bathroom. However, before that, I think I need to scold someone.

———————————————

It's 8:00 am, and I'm so unfortunate. I forgot to do my laundry yesterday, so I had no choice but to borrow a pair of pants from Ning. She was lucky that this situation happened and that I had no reason to scold her anymore.

However, the thing is, somehow, I feel a bit uneasy walking around the campus today... weird.

Anyway, Ning's style of clothes was very different from mine, but thank god I found the cardigan jacket I left inside her apartment that went well with the pants... I didn't have to wear her tops.

"No no no, I think you should just call someone else!"

"It's fine..."

At this instant, I was behind the campus, which had a few people present. I never expected people to hang out here since there are a lot of nasty rumors circulating here, but I guess we can't believe them easily.

Turning my head to look toward the voice, I saw two figures, one of which was familiar to me. It was strange. What are they doing unde
