Closet Monster

Chapter 9

"As roommates, we need to establish some rules in this house."

Jungkook announced to a very unamused Lily who looked like she would rather be anywhere but here.

They are currently at the living room of Lily's apartment which is barely a living room. The only thing that is in this living room is one mattress and an old ass television that no one uses. Lily is half sitting on the mattress with her back against the wall and Jungkook is sitting across her with a notepad in his hand.

"Jungkook, I'm trying to relax,"Lily said.

Jungkook completely disregarded that,"Here, I've written down a few rules. You shall follow them henceforth, negotiations are not allowed."

Lily shook her head slowly but took the notepad to see what he's written down.

Jungkook kept looking at her. Writing down these rules were also an excuse to lighten up the mood a bit. The mood of this house is always weird, but ever since last night, after she asked him to find his father the mood of this house has been way weirder. Her expression was colder than normal. She didn't talk at all the whole day, only stayed in her room listening to music, barely replied to him. Her phone had been ringing continuously, Doyoung has been calling, she didn't pick up the phone for once. Just let it ring. She hasn't even eaten anything. She seemed to be deep in thoughts and Jungkook think whatever she's thinking is a very hard topic for her. Jungkook doesn't like this one bit.

So he came up with this plan to talk to her because he hates this atmosphere. He feels like after years he found someone to talk to, he doesn't want to be back to being silent and bored again. So he came up with these set of rules to take her mind off of whatever was bothering her.

Lily frowned seeing what was written on the notepad.

Jungkook smiled. It was probably working. At least he got her to react to something.

"Jungkook, are you insane?"Lily asked looking up at him.

He quickly hid his smile and raised his eyebrows.

Lily read the points out loud,"No killing in this house? Bitch? Where else am I supposed to.."

"That's your problem. You didn't have any problem getting rid of that Chulsoo guy outside. Find another damn place."

Lily couldn't believe it but she read the next rule out,"No putting dead bodies in the closet? Bitch, I rented this house solely because of the damn closet and.."

"Listen, unlike what you believe..sharing the closet space with a corpse is not fun. So no from now on."

Lily shook her head in disbelief but read the next rule,"Going to the grocery? Eating at least one edible, healthy meal a day...what the actual fuck? And how does this have anything to do with you?"

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about me. I wanna eat and the only thing you buy from the grocery store is frozen food, beer and a shit ton of bleach. Well..the bleach isn't used for eating purposes but do you know how unappetizing that triangle kimbap you eat on the daily looks? You could at least buy ramen? Even that would be healthier that that.."

"Listen..before I came, you didn't eat shit, did you? So now why.."

"Because now you're here, and you're my so called partner. So.."Jungkook shrugged, pretty happy that he got to get her to taste her own medicine. She gets him to do everything just cause they are 'partners'.

Lily shook her head,"And tell you everything about my plan beforehand before going to a mission?"

"I think that's fair, I don't want to make a fool of myself like I did last time during Chulsoo. And also we are partners, right partner?"Jungkook smiled cheekily.
