***I'm feeling very uninspired with this story, so there will be time skips and about two more chapters left, before this story ends***

I also want to say: I give my condolences to the AAPI community. As an ally, I stand with them in all endeavors, and hope that the hate against this community ends once and for all.

"Where do you think you're going?" Jihyo wonders as she eyes her friend.

Jeongyeon is currently trying to leave their apartment so that she can make it to her student aid job in time, but Jihyo is blocking her path. Said roommate is standing in front of the door, blocking it as she stand with her arms crossed against her chest.

"I'm going to Professor Park's office." Jeongyeon reveals, her arms being crossed over her own chest, as well.

"Why?" Jihyo questions some more. "Don't tell me you're going back after last night? Professor Park was so rude to you! You should quit the student aid job, and stay away from him."

Jeongyeon had told her roommates everything that had transpired the night before, in terms of the incident. Both of her friends were furious with how rude Professor Park was, and they didn't like the comment he made when Jeongyeon was trying to leave.

"Don't tell her what to do, Jihyo. It's her decision if she wants to keep working with him." Nayeon adds in, as she stays perched on the couch in the living room.

Jeongyeon sighs. "I just want to apologize again. He's most likely going to fire me anyway."

"You don't need to apologize. The incident was an accident, and Professor Park was the one that was rude to you." Jihyo spits back. Jeongyeon honestly loves her friends, and the fact that they have her back, but they can be extremely biased.

"I want to apologize to him again." Jeongyeon finalizes.

Jihyo sighs, and moves from the door. "Fine. But if anything else happens, let us know."

"You two will be the first." Jeongyeon agrees.

Her two friends bid her a goodbye and a good luck, as Jeongyeon leaves their apartment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeongyeon raises her fist to knock on the door in front of her, but she pauses. She's nervous and quite frankly still angry about what happened the night before.

It's currently Thursday afternoon, and Jeongyeon is standing in front of Professor Park's office, debating whether she should work today or not. She could make an excuse to get out of her student aid duties for the day, and therefore avoid Professor Park. Then again, Jeongyeon's never been the type to avoid people or situations, let alone confrontation. She's the type to revel in confrontation, and enjoy awkward situations.

Nonetheless, what happened the night before pissed her off. The way Professor Park acted, in regard to her being topless, was uncalled for. He was an asshole, with that attitude, and Jeongyeon found him to be rude. She honestly doesn't see what the big deal was. The mistake was an accident, and she doesn't see what the difference is between her taking off her blouse to reveal a camisole underneath and someone else taking off their sweatshirt to reveal a t-shirt underneath.

Not to mention, the way Professor Park acted was kind of sexist, in Jeongyeon's opinion. No one bats an eye when men expose their torsos, but when women do it, it's suddenly seen as controversial and inappropriate? That's bullshit. Jeongyeon guarantees that if a male student had accidentally exposed their torso in front of Professor Park, the two would've just laughed it off before going back to work. Instead, Jeongyeon accidentally exposed her torso, and was kicked out immediately, while a rude statement was hurled at her as she left.
