I came home to find Erin sitting on my couch. In her hands was my last tin of milo. She was using a spoon and happily eating the brown powder out of the tin. “Erin.... That's my last tin of milo!” I growled.

She smiled innocently at me. “What?! I was hungry! I love milo too and I didn't have anything but kimchi left in my apartment. You wouldn't let your best friend in Korea die of hunger would you?” She said blinking at me.

“You're my only friend in Korea.” I muttered grumpily. “Couldn't you at least not eat from the tin? It's so unhygienic!” I grumbled, but took the tin from her nontheless and using the spoon she was using, scooped a mouthful for myself, smiling as I forgot the soreness in my thighs at the taste of the sweet chocolatey powder. Mmmmm milo...

Suddenly through my food delirium, a thought entered and I looked over at the plump Korean woman sitting beside me on the couch and wondered; how did she get into my apartment? I sure as heck didn't let her in. I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at her. “Erin.... Did you just let yourself in?” I asked, in disbelief.

She beamed at me, opening her eyes wide, playing the innocent card. “Yes?” She finally admitted.

“What?! How did you know my pass code?” I demanded. “And how could you just let yourself in? I could have company!” I yelled.

Erin scoffed. “Pfft... Company? You? Please.... You're like the Mary but lesbian.” She deadpanned, rolling her eyes at me. “Besides it's common knowledge Reg... Your pass code is your birthday. You aren't the most complex creature around. I did get it wrong the first time, but only because I forgot you guys have the day before the month, whereas in Korea, we have the month first then the day.” She ended, beaming proudly at me.

I glowered at her, giving the ‘I hate you’ look before looking away and cussing under my breath.

“Soooo grumpy-pants... How was your first day at work?” She asked airily. I grinned goofily to myself as I recalled the day spent running after Ji Hyo. The show was aptly name. Running Man... Pfft.

“Ooooo... Looks like Reg's got a crush!” Erin said as she saw the silly smile I had plastered to my face. She appeared chuffed to bits about it.

“I do not!!!” I protested. She stared at me, raising an eyebrow. Begrudgingly I admitted my slight infatuation with the actress. “Yeah alllright.... Maybe.” I growled out to the Korean. Still refusing to concede.

Erin's eyes took on an exultant glint I wasn't so sure I was comfortable with. But as I talked about my day, focusing on the incident with Ji Hyo and her invite to the gym, I surprised myself with how easy the words came out of my mouth. I was gushing like a teenaged girl with a crush and I wasn't a particularly loquacious person!

Erin looked on jubilantly, a cheeky grin plastered on her face. Great! Just great!
