Btw, I changed condo to penthouse because that sounds way fancier lololol

"HOW COULD YOU OF ALL PEOPLE BE MY NEW NEIGHBOR!!" Joohyun screamed hysterically, making Seulgi frown. "Is that a bad thing???"

She sighed. "Well no- but yes," making Seulgi frown again. Ignoring what the smaller girl just said so bluntly, Seulgi suddenly remembered something. "Ah! Isn't this our second meeting?" she smiled. "Go out with me, Joohyun!"

"No!!!"

"Why not? We're neighbors too now! Isn't this great?" Seulgi smiled brightly. "That's what I just don't get! I heard the penthouse next to mine costed 2.5 million! I don't think a girl like you has that much money at such a young age, come to think of it, after you literally just walked out of Gucci without even paying! I don't know what to think anymore. Maybe Sooyung was right.. Are you really an ambassador??"

Seulgi looked really confused. "2.5 million? Sooyoung? Ambassador??" Joohyun rolled her eyes looking annoyed as ever, "yes! Now are you an ambassador or not?!"

"No! If it were either of us you'd probably be the ambassador for Gucci. I'm not fit for representing a famous clothing brand... I much prefer sweats and hoodies," she chuckled slightly. Joohyun kept agape, "is the penthouse really 2.5 million then?" Seulgi shook her head. Well then, I gotta assume that it's cheaper then.. Joohyun sighed.

It was actually more expensive but I won't tell her haha.

"WAIT! Does this mean I live directly next to you??" Seulgi asked with a pleading look, while Joohyun gulped and kept quiet. ! That does!!!

Seugli gave her signature smile that gave Joohyun shivers. Why is this girl so cute!

"YAH! Seulgi! Are you just gonna keep talking to god knows who or are you gonna start helping us move your own furniture?!" someone screamed from the back. "Sorry Seungwan, I'm talking to my new neighbor!" The person who appears to be Seungwan places the boxes she was holding and walked towards Seulgi. 

"Ah, hello! Are you Seulgi's new neighbor? Please treat her well!" Seungwan raised her hand towards Joohyun expecting a handshake but Joohyun just stared at her hand coldy. Seulgi and Seungwan looked confused but she quickly lowered her hand. "Ah.. Sorry, about that. Anyways, I'm Seungwan, Seulgi's best friend." Joohyun stared at Seungwan's features.

"Are those fake bangs?" 

Woops. Didn't mean to say that outloud.

"U-Uh no... They're real?" Seungwan said in question, while Seulgi stared at Joohyun in confusion. Silently, Seungwan started whispering to Seulgi while staring at Joohyun. "Yah, Seulgi.. Your neighbor is really weird." Seulgi looked back at Seungwan and shook her head, "I know.... She's not even affected by my charms!"

"Seulgi! Your charms work on no one." The taller girl whined in defeat, while Joohyun kept staring. "You know I'm still here right.. And I can hear you for the matter of fact!" They both stared at the shorter girl in shock as if they've been caught red handed. "Uhhh... Errr...." Joohyun rolled her eyes and took a deep breathe. 

"You're both wasting my time, now, please excuse me." Joohyun quietly walked passed them to the main entrance of the building while the two just stared at her. After the girl was out of their sight, Seungwan sighed. "Welp, that girl isn't very friendly... Why'd you have to move into a penthouse full of rich stuck up people?! You're way nicer than them Seulgii!!" Seungwan whined while nagging the slightly older girl.

"Ugh! Seungwan, I'm just trying to be nice! What's wrong with being nice?! I can be, uh- not nice too!" Seungwan facepalmed, "NOT WITH THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE!"

"STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT ME!" Seulgi cried. "Whatever, you big bear! Now hurry up, the workers are almost finished with moving your stuff. I'll sleep over and maybe we can watch Netflix or something." 

"But the workers only moved the boxes and furniture into the penthouse, not organizing or anything!" 

"Well then, I guess we'll get working then!" Seungwan exclaimed as she dragged her best friend into the main entrance. "NOOOOOO! Please! I'm too lazy for thiss" Seulgi whined as she barely kept her feet balanced because Seungwan was dragging her away too fast.

"Hello, how may I help you today?" The person at the front desk asked, clearly seeing that Seulgi was being dragged against her own will, but decided to keep quiet. "Hello, we're the new owners of penthouse 7, the one on the top floor, can we get the key?" Seungwan asked, while Seulgi was still trying to get herself out of Seungwan's strong grip. How did this woman get so strong?!

"Ok, ID please?" Seungwan quickly grabbed Seulgi's wallet from her back pocket. "I told you not to put your wallet in your back pocket! It's going to fall out you buffoon!" Seungwan yelled as she grabbed Seulgi's ID out of her wallet. "Sorry..." Seulgi muttered, finally out of the girl's impossible grip. After the worker checked the ID, she gave Seungwan the card key.

"This key is only temporarily. Please enter your own passcode on the door's lock system and finger print. After that, please return the card key." Seungwan nodded as she walked towards the elevator while Seulgi slowly followed. "Ouch.. My wrist.."

"Shut up you big baby. Also, what was with that lady? She was so cold to us, can't a regular person greet their new neighbor?!"

"Uh yeah.. About that," Seungwan eyed Seulgi suspiciously as the girl just scratched her nape. "I kinda.. Spilled coffee on her at the cafe earlier today after you left without even realizing that she was my new neighbor." Seungwan gasped, "no wonder! She looks hella rich too, I bet you she screamed, 'oh my gosh! this shirt is ing expensive! how could you?!' she looks like that kind of person," Seungwan chuckled. 

Seulgi nodded, "she was. I even offered to pay her back- but she said it was too expensive for me. I mean, it was expensive though. Her blouse was ing Gucci!!" Seungwan raised her brow "Gucci sells blouses?"

"I didn't know either!" Seungwan sighed. "Anyways, when I got there, I realized that I forgot my credit card and only had enough cash on me to buy the cup of coffee I spilled on her." 

"How'd you get it for her then? I saw the Gucci bag in her hand when she was walking back."

"I asked Sunmi unnie. I have to pay her a meal, though." Seungwan sighed, "you stupid bear." When the elevator door finally opened, they both walked through the large hallway. "Wheres #7? I don't see it." 

"It's over there, Seulgi. You seriously need some glasses." Suddenly, the sound of a door opening was heard. "Oh

Chapter 7: There's finally a breakthrough! Clear progress right here
\(^-^)/ ♡
Jisoo was spot on with her observations about Seulgi and Irene's personality, and I actually do agree that some of those could've made a bad combination had things been different. Had Seulgi not been attracted to Irene's feisty and headstrong personality, there certainly wouldn't be a chasing or pursuing of sorts from Seulgi's end towards Irene. Interestingly enough, their similarities does give them an edge when it comes to their own agenda no matter how people may look at it as a possible setback or cause of issue. On the other hand, their differences are the things that makes it possible for them to be more connected and go seamlessly together in terms of temperament and the like. It was those things that kept them coming back for more. While those traits looked and sounded undesirable and annoying at first glance, it was those things that really grabbed attention and made it stay. Without those things, I think nothing would standout and make both of them stop and look twice at the other.

Irene's backstory was credible enough to make such lasting impact on her that she basically turned into a different person the moment everything was said and done. I don't know what would be Seulgi's own story, but I'm guessing that she might be able to relate and identify enough with Irene because of her own background. Other than her personality, maybe her experience could end up somehow mirroring some of what Irene experienced before. If not, well there would still be no issue anyway. Whatever her story might be, they actually match and fit well with other. Their past won't have much bearing as long as they give each other a chance and remember that they could just make a better history out of the present if they so wish to really let the past stay as the past.

By the way, it turned out that a flustered Joohyun is a laughably adorable and clumsy Joohyun XD More of this please hahaha Not only was it entertaining, it was also a testament to her finally lowering down her walls bit by bit to and for Seulgi.

Chapter 6: Joohyun’s attitude towards Seulgi frustrates me. She belittles Seulgi while at the same time giving her mixed signals. She kept on asking if Seulgi can afford to buy this or that without even realising that she might have hurt Seulgi’s feelings with such questions just because she doesn’t look like those typical rich people. I also wonder if Seulgi’s image is one of the factors why she kept on denying Seulgi’s request for a date. She is conceited and full of herself and I can’t wait to know her reaction once she knows Seulgi’s real identity.

Chapter 6: Well, it would be nice if something were to happen that would make Joohyun at least admit that she does like Seulgi enough to consider a better relationship with her other than simply a neighbor. Anything that would move their standing along because at the rate things are going, it's more likely that Sooyoung would've already gotten together with Wendy and going steady for months because Seulrene's doing a perfect imitation of a snail's pace. Even considering Seulgi as a friend is a good enough step towards the right direction. A very small step forward is better than doing nothing at all. Seulgi and Joohyun's romantic involvement isn't even a possibility in the future at this point because of the damning stubborness and denseness on Joohyun's part. There is also the matter of Seulgi's full identity to deal with. It's getting kind of ridiculous how Joohyun and Sooyoung still misses glaring evidences or clues about Seulgi's person. They know that she is rich and that she knows people in high places, and yet they've never thought nor had a guess that maybe there is something more to Seulgi than meets the eye. There were instances that had shown Seulgi doing something that wouldn't be out of character for a person of importance, people giving her much leeway and respect, Seulgi knowing things at far greater detail, etc. and yet they've never processed those events as clues of Seulgi's identity. Just how blind can Joohyun and Sooyoung be for not suspecting even a little bit? They even missed an opportunity to know more about Seulgi at the party. They could've subtly asked the other partygoers if they know Seulgi and her line of work, you know XD Ask around or pretend that they don't know Seulgi and ask them who she is because they have never seen her before. They wasted the chance hahaha
