Ahn Veronica's POV

The rain gets heavier, blinding the view even with the wiper blades already doing its job while Jimin continued driving around the neighbourhood to get to my residence. Ah, what a life would it be to soak myself for a good half an hour in the hot tub--such therapeutic movement to relax the body and mind. I can't wait.

I hurriedly collected my belongings and left Jimin's car after his car stopped right in front of the building. I don't know if this is how other girls usually acts but right now, I don't have the energy to even talk to him-- just like how he wanted. I've a feeling it will turn into a big arguement and I don't want that. Afterall, he's still my boss. Boss...and a worker. That's all to it, and the friendlier we are towards each other, the better working environment we can create.

 Nah, who am I kidding? It sounded like I'm promoting a better healthy workforce style, when in fact I am just tired. Too tired to talk about anything deep with him. It's really been a long day after all.

I left his car and quickly tapped my car to enter the building, before he could even grab the umbrella from his car or open the door for him. I don't need any of that. He can save the 'Gentleman acts' for another women.

I walked up with a great feeling and urge to just dump everything and go straight to my washroom. The unpacking can wait. But what is in my front door took my excitement level spiral down straight into the pits of hell, leaving me confused and suddenly felt helpless.

Why are my all belongings outside the house?

I paid my rent monthly on time everytime. So why is-

Relax, Veronica. Just enter the house and then see how it goes or what had happened while I was away for the past four days.

I slot in my keys. I turned, and turned. But to no avail. Why couldn't this key work? Did they changed the lock?

"Veronica, is that you?" My neighbour, a kind old lady in her sixties who always baked me some cakes periodically, approached me. "My goodness, You are drenched!" She passed me some tissues, "Haven't you heard what happened in there?" She asked, doubling the un to my comfort. "It was a wreck in there" She shook her head, "The landlord lady told me that you and your room-mate hasn't been paying rent for the past two months. She had informed your roommate and made sure that if by third month no payment is made, two of you will have to be evicted."

I scratched my head in confusion, "But I did pay my rent monthly. I passed it to my room-mate. She will then usually give it to the landlord" I mused. How did this happen then.

"Well, my child. That is not the worst. Your roommate had apparently been dealing with illegal substances and she went berserk when the landlord and she went into confrontation. It created a commotion and people were starting to watch. I was there too and she threatened to kill herself if the two of you didn't get another month to pay. The landlord refused to give in and she jumped right out of that window...."

I gasped. Such a thing actually happened while I was away? We are in the fifteenth storey. Does that mean she.....

"She died. The police is currently investigating and no one is allowed to enter the room" She confirmed by slightest doubt.

"Grandma! What are you doing outside in this cold weather?" Her grand-daughter called as she looked at me. "You are that- neighbor" She said and turned to her Grandmother. "Don't go near her grandma, you never know if she's uses those substances too" She whispered to her though, it wasn't low enough. I could hear every word she said. She grabbed her grandma and went to their room.

Well, What am I supposed to do now? Who can I call? My brother? Jungkook?

I dig into my pocket to find my phone, but I couldn't. Did it put it somewhere else? Both of my pockets have nothing. Is it in my bag? I searched for it.

"Looking for this?" Jimin stood by the lift, leaning against the door, holding my phone in his hand.

"Oh thank Go-"

"You are coming with me" He took my hands and dragged me with him.

"W-what are you trying to do. Why are you-" I wriggled out of his grasp forcefully, and successfully.

"I am sure i have heard and understood enough from that old lady there" He dead-panned on me. So he heard everything?

"I-No. I'll find my own way" I rejected.

"In this weather? with all those stuffs?" He pointed to the box that were messily dumped outside the house.

"I can call my brother or Jungkook and-"

"What could jungkook help you with? Stay in his house? YOU AND HIM? No" He grabbed me again and lead me into the lift, closing the door. "You can call your brother later for further help but you're coming with me now"

"Oh Yeah you're right, Living in jungkook's house sounds like a good idea" I mused to myself. Why had I not thought about it before? Jimin scowled "And where would you even take me-" I continued.

"To my residence" He said. The same time the lift door opens and he man-handled me. Carrying me over his shoulder.

His residence? Stay with him? I've been trying my best to stay away from him but now I am actually getting even closer to him? No..No! "What the fuck" I scowled. No!

He stopped mid way and looked at me, surprise written all over his face. "That's the first time you actually said something vulgur" He smirked.

I rolled my eyes. Is this the time to be talking about how many times I speak-

"Ooof!" He threw me into the front passenger seat and fasten my seatbelt. Such a close distance.....

Wait, no. I'm not supposed to be admiring the close distance between us. I'm supposed to be struggling or get into some arguement with him so that i can escape and live with him.

"Don't bother. I've turned on the child's lock" He said calmly as he drove away.

No.....I don't want to be here....

But secretely, Why am I excited? Did I secretely want this?

Yes you do, Veronica.

No, I don't! Think of a reason to get out of here...Think!

"My stuffs...I need to get them-"

"I've already arranged for someone to get it sent over"

Well that's efficient.

I sighed in defeat.

"And in case you don't know, I'm still very much bewildered and irritated" He started. Huh? "First, with Kim taehyung, next, thought of staying over jungkook's house alone with him" He continued.

I know where this is going....His jealousy. "I am not going to continue with this topic" I said, and quickly shut my eyes close to pretend that i'm sleepy. There's no way I am going to continue this topic again.

I'll settle this staying-over-in-his-place but for now I must escape from this topic.
