50 Things I Don't Know About "K"

Neighbor

Amid my drowsiness, I unconsciously moved my body, responding to the sounds I heard. I'm trying to sleep, but my neighbor's noisy this early at six too!

Snippets of thuds came from the apartment next to me that belonged to Ms. Goddess. Whatever she's doing, for heaven's sake. Please lower the noise.

As much as I'd like to complain, it's not like I could knock on her door and do that, right? We talked about treating each other like air, after all.

I slowly sat up and stood up to walk my way toward the bathroom. I might as well just wake up since I didn't think I could fall asleep. I should clean my apartment, too. It's been almost a week of no cleaning.

The mirror reflected my listless appearance, with one side of my cheeks red. My face looked tired, like I had no energy at all. I washed my face and wiped my face with the tidily folded towel. Thank god there are no early classes today.

As I made my way to the nearby trashcan, I grabbed a trash bag from the nearby shelves to put the trash inside of it. While I was doing this, Ms. Goddess's apartment noise finally disappeared.

I stretched my body, tied my hair into a ponytail, and stepped outside the apartment with the trash bag. In a somewhat good mood, I started to hum while going downstairs to throw the trash.

After that, I went back to my apartment only to see one... two... three... four?! Four men came out from my neighbor's apartment, and I'm not even going to think of what these people were doing inside there. I won't be nosy.

Walking past the people like nothing happened, I couldn't help but glance at the door and see my neighbor in an oversized long-sleeved shirt. The shirt was a bit loosened as well as the buttons, and her shoulder showed along with her collarbone. Hot, but let's not get into insolent thoughts, Kim Minjeong.

"Just get out... we're done," Jimin said with her usual monotone voice.

"But, baby-"

Before the man could speak, Jimin closed the door that left the four men standing in disappointment. It's not like I eavesdropped. They were being loud.

Continuing what I was doing, I stepped back inside my apartment, grabbing the broom and dustpan to sweep the floor. Cleaning the apartment took me almost an hour, then there's the mop... right, this will be long.

———————————————

After a few hours of cleaning, I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead and smiled with satisfaction. The apartment was sparkling, and I'm proud of that. Though I'm kind of sweaty, it is a bit uncomfortable.

Let's take a bath, then go straight to class.

As I was about to walk inside the bathroom to clean up, I suddenly heard a knock on my door, which annoyed me. It's probably none other than Ning. Is she going to pick me up again?

Approaching the door, I opened the door.

"Ning go awa-"

"Minjeong! Please w— — wait... who are you?!"

I widened my eyes. It was surprising to see someone else other than Ning visiting my place. It was Lucas. I didn't even tell him my address, but why the shit is he here?

I gave him a wry smile, "What are you doing here?"

"M-Minjeong! I think there's a strang-"

"Asshole, it's me."
