Oppa's Past
Love in SeoulWe arrived at the apartment complex. I got out of the car without a word and went inside. The awkward elevator ride felt so much longer than it should have. Let's just get the cleaning over with Sophia. I told myself that repeatedly.
"Thirsty?" He asked casually. I shook my head. "I'll be in my room. You can leave whenever you want." I nodded and watched as SiKyung oppa disappeared into his room and shut the door. I placed my stuff on the couch and tied my hair up in a ponytail. I got out my headphones and began to listen to my music on my phone as I tidied up the living room. His papers were scattered around the table. Did he purposely make it messy today? It was so clean the other day. I began wiping down the tables and counters. Then I sweep the floor. Wash the dishes. I looked around and was pretty satisfied with my 30 minutes of cleaning. I started walking around to make sure I didn't forget to clean anything. I have to make it look perfect. A desk in the far corner caught my eye. I quickly grabbed a wet towel to go wipe it down. There were papers and pens on it.
