IN THE QUIET OF THE NIGHT, as I was on the verge of drifting off to sleep in the comfort of my soft bed, a series of insistent knocks on my apartment door jolted me awake. It was well past midnight in Seoul, and the unexpected disturbance pulled me out of my near-slumber.
"Who's there?" I called out, my voice tinged with irritation.
I crossed the room and swung the door open without a second thought. Standing there with a bright smile was Adrielle, my cousin.
"Damn it," I muttered under my breath, my eyebrows knitted together in frustration. "What the hell are you doing here at midnight?"
Instead of addressing my question, Adrielle pouted her lips, which only made me look at her with disdain. My irritation was momentarily displaced as I took in her attire: a sleek, black strapless leather dress that clung to her curves, paired with shiny silver high heels.
"I can't sleep." she replied.
"So?" I shot back. "That sounds like a you problem."
"You're so mean!" she exclaimed, her puppy eyes pleading with me. "I really can't sleep! Let's go somewhere."
Adrielle's dramatic reactions never ceased to annoy me. Her constant antics were reaching a point where I was on the verge of losing my patience. If she didn't stop, I might just lose it entirely.
"No." I replied firmly.
"I don't accept 'no' as an answer," she whined, her voice dripping with insistence. "Please, come with me."
"God, Adri. Where do you want to go at this hour? You're crazy!" I said, shaking my head in disbelief.
"Where do you think? A bar, of course!" she replied cheerfully. "Let's have some fun! You've been so focused on providing for yourself that you've forgotten you need some me time too."
I shut my eyes for a few seconds, attempting to piece together why I was standing at my open door in the dead of night instead of asleep in bed.
"No." I replied, as I massaged my temples, trying to ease the growing frustration.
"Yah!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with mock hurt. "How could you be so cruel? What if I'd been kidnapped? Don't you care about me?!"
