My Annoying Roommate

Chapter 6: Forced Date

Before they knew it, Aerin and Sehun were already dragged by their moms to a mall shopping like there's no tomorrow.

"I still can't believe you're my mom's childhood best friend's son!" Aerin muttered, stomping her feet like a kid. "What did I do in my past life to receive this kind of life?" She faked a sob.

Sehun rolled his eyes and ignored her. He tapped his feet impatiently, waiting for his and Aerin's mom to get out from the 6th shop they'd gone.
Aerin just watched their moms outside. She wanted to shop too, but seeing her mom shopping happily with someone else, she gave up. Yeah, she usually went shopping with her mom, her younger sister, Haerin and her little brother, Jonghyun. Ugh, how she missed those times.

After another 10 minutes of waiting, they finally got out with several shopping bags in their hands, laughing out loud.

"Aww, sorry for making you guys wait a little." Sehun's mom cooed. Aerin and Sehun secretly groaned. A little?! We've been waiting for thirty-two minutes forty-nine seconds!

"Ji Won-ah, why don't we let them go roaming around the mall by themselves? They're roommates and classmates, anyway." Aerin's mom suggested. Aerin turned to her mom. What in the world was her mom thinking?

Sehun's mom lightened up and nodded. "Yeah. Sehun," his mom called and Sehun already knew what his mom was going to say next. "Go with Aerin."

Sehun shook his head and crossed his arms on his chest. "I have soccer practice today. The game is next week." He lied.

"Yeah! Sehun has a soccer practice today!" Aerin joined and grinned sheepishly.

"Don't you dare lie, young man." His mom wagged her finger. "You really suck at soccer and now you're telling me you participate in a game?"

Wow. His mom is such a genius. Or Sehun is suck at lying.

Sehun gulped and looked down. It was true, he sucked at soccer. Or like, he really sucked at sports.

"But I don't want to go with this Ugly!" Sehun whined and pointed at Aerin. Aerin glared at him and hissed. "Like hell I do!"

Aerin's mom shook her head. "Alright. Aerin, go with Sehun."

"But--"

"I'll cut your credit cards and give your lollipops to Jonghyun if you refuse once more."

Aerin stomped her feet and pouted. "It's not fair!" She whined.

Sehun snickered at Aerin and got a glare from her. "Don't laugh, Oh Sehun," his mom raised her eyebrow. "You too, I'll throw your new Wii away if you refuse."

Sehun groaned and stomped his feet too. "But why?!"

"So it's settled!" Aerin's mom beamed. "We'll be leaving first. Behave, kids!" Sehun's mom waved and left with her mom.

What in the world?

"Why do I have to stuck with you again?!" Aerin grumpily said.

"This is the 10th time you've said that!" Sehun snapped at her. Aerin huh-ed him and crossed her arms. As she looked around the mall, her eyes glimmered in excitement when she spotted her favorite shop. Not bothering to tell Sehun where she was going, she ran to the shop.

"I don't get it why our moms want us to be together." He said, still not realizing Aerin was gone. "It's so frustrating!"

People around the mall mistaken Sehun as a lunatic person because he was talking to no one.

"Why are you so quiet, Ugly?" He asked while shifting to his right and found people staring weirdly at him instead of Aerin.
He stopped walking and face palmed himself, feeling embarrassed. Where the hell is that Ugly?!
