Jin is focused on his laptop screen as he is typing. He then taps his finger next to the laptop. "Anything you like to add?""How about no more making fun of each other's interests? We are stuck here together, we should at least be able to enjoy what we enjoy without judgement." Jin thinks about it for a second. "Very well, but then we must agree to not annoy the other with them either. So don't come showing me what you've done because you won't get anything from me. I don't know art or handwork, and am not interested so I can't possible say anything about it. Bad or good." I try to clearify myself. "Sounds good to me." she said. "I won't waste your time with it.""I'm going to add a small clausule to the no touching policy. Only if the other person is in a life or death state or unconcious it is allowed without consent.""Yeah, that is a given I think," she said. Jin types on. "Anything else? Oh! the bathroom. So we will do our own laundry seperately, and when the other is using the bathroom we must do a signal of some sort, like a sock on the door. Since your father made sure we are open to all temptation by removing locks.""Okay, I can do that. I think that about covers everything, but if we think of anything else, we can add to it." she said. "Good" he says as he saves the file and sends it to his phone.

He looks at her for the first time and can see her wriggled up in the blanket, and frankly looking very cute like that. Jin is holding his phone and seems to think a bit. "I will need your number if I want to send it to you. Also just in case." Allison gave Jin a soft smile when he finally looked at her "I'm glad we got that all taken care of." she said. It was a step in the right direction of at least being able to coexist with each other. When Jin mentioned her number, she held out her hand for his phone, taking it and putting her contact in before handing it back to Jin. He sends it to her immediately and looks up from his phone with a soft smile. Allison blushed slightly as she looked away, "I think that's the first time you've ever smiled at me..." she said quietly."I guess we are set then." Frankly, Jin is feeling slighty better now that they clearly made rules. As if he is lighter. "Right, well, if we are all set here, I'm going to head to bed so you can game in peace." she said, standing up, dropping the blanket on the couch. "Did you already have dinner then?" Jin asks her. "Oh, no, I didn't but, I'm not really hungry, and I think it's your night to cook anyways." she said.

"Oh, we playing it like this already?" Jin answers in a playful tone and fitting grin. He pretends to open the laptop and lets his hands and fingers float above the keyboard pretending like he is typing. "New rule, no bossing around." Allison laughed, a genuine laugh for probably the first time since she had arrived at the apartment. "Hey, I'm just following the rules." she said. "Another new rule: No being smartypants." Jin started to laugh too. Allison giggled happily, "Wait, can I make rules too? New rule, no new rules." she joked with another laugh. "Darnit. I guess it's over now...""Yep. It's over." she teased, her hands on her hips as she looked at Jin. Wait, are we getting along? Jin and Allison seem to realise that thought He closes the laptop and moans as he gets up. He walks to the kitchen and checks the fridge for ingredients. "Tell me atleast we got something that I can work with here."

Allison followed him to the kitchen, her plans of going to bed forgotten now that they were somewhat having fun. "I just bought a bunch of produce today, and there's still some meat in there as well." She said as she sat at the table, watching Jin. Jin gets out the ingredients and rolls up his sleeves, revealing his lower arms. "Then I shall get to it. From what I see here... I'm getting a sense of..." And he closes his eyes as his hands ghost over the ingredients like some sort of weird spiritual medium. "Beef stir fry, with some veggies and garlic. And ofcourse, the Korean staple food: Rice and Kimchi!" He opens his eyes and throws a smile before he grabs the knife and skillfully starts cutting veggies. Allison laughed, "Sounds good, you food wizard." She teased as she watched him begin cooking, taking mental notes on how he did things for later.
