A/N: I hope you guys liked the first chapter xx

I get into the cab giving them the address Chaeryeong gave me.

Arriving to the restaurant, as I walk in I look around trying to spot her.

"Y/n!"

I look noticing Chaeryeong sitting at a table towards the back. Walking over she stands up arms already outstretched as I wrap my arms around her giving her a tight hug. She does the same and we sit down.

I missed her so much.

"How have you been?" She asks.

"Great honestly, what about you?" 

"Great as well, the company has been well, we've done quite a few collaborations boosting our sales and also have a few people that sponsor us daily. It's been busy but good. Well other than the photographer who I let go but, that's what I have you for." She smiles.

"Of course, you can count on me." I say.

"You get settled in ok?" She asks and I nod picking up the menu. Man I'm hungry.

"You know you could've stayed with me, I could use the company." "I know, you've just done enough for me I didn't want to be in your way or anything."

"Ok, hold it right there, you'd never be in my way. I've missed you so much, you're always welcome to anything that's mine." She says and I smile.

"Thank you. But I'm fine at the place I'm at it's not bad honestly." I say.

The waiter comes over and I let Chaeryeong do the ordering since I'm not really sure what to get. I regret the decision as soon as I make cause she orders nearly the whole menu, claiming that there's so much she wants me to try.

"So, tell me more about your company."

"Well, we have been busy lately but everything's starting to wear down. We've so far collaborated with Puma, Chanel, and Adidas."

"Wow that's great, those are all big companies." She nods. "Yeah, it really helped our sales go up. Our online store has been off the chain, orders coming in everyday."

"That's amazing, I'm so glad everything going great."

As we eat we talk over a lot of other things just catching up.

"Ugh, I'm so stuffed." I say drinking the last of my water and leaning back in the chair.

"Me too, that was great." She says copying my action.

"How did we eat all of that." I say looking at the empty dishes. "I have no idea."

After paying for the food, we decide to walk around for a bit.

"How has your love life been?" Chaeryeong asks and I shrug.

"Nothing much, not since you know who." I say not wanting to say his name. I consider it a slur now.

She nods, "What about you?" I ask her. She smiles off into the distance and I push her softly. "Tell me." I say and she lets out a small laugh.

"Well, her name is Lia, she's a model for the company."

"Ooo, a model, scandalous." I tease. "Oh shut up." She laughs.

"Only thing is, is I can't tell if she's into girls or not."

"How come?"

"Well, we talk, like all the time and I don't know she just, gives me mixed signals you know."

"Well, have you asked her?" She shakes her head. "No, I haven't."

"I'll ask for you then."

"No you will not. I'll do it just give me some time."

Chaeryeong came out a couple years ago, I had already knew she gay before she even knew it herself. She always talked about this girl in our class that she thought was so pretty and it pretty much gave it away.

"Whenever you find out, let me know." I say.

We walk a bit more before heading back.

"Need a ride?" "Nah I'm good, I'll take a cab." I say. "Come on Y/n, let me take you home."

"No it's fine, here comes a cab right now." I say sticking my hand out as the driver slows down.

"Fine but here." She says digging into their purse pulling out some money. "Chaeryeong I can't take that." I say declining the money. "Just use it to pay for the fee." She says offering it again.

I shake my head, "I have my own money." I say. "Y/n if you don't take it I swear I will drag you to my car and take you home myself, the choice is yours." I huff taking the money from her manicures hands and giving her a hug goodbye.

"I'll call tomorrow so we can make some plans." She says as I get into the car.

"Alright, be safe bye." I say and she waves walking away to her car.

I give the driver the address to the residence as I buckle my seatbelt.

Switching out my shoes to my slippers I walk into the place.

"Ms. America, you're back!" Mrs. Kim chimes from behind the glass.

"Yeah, I went to meet up with my friend." I say beginning to walk to my room.

"Where did you go?"

I jump turning around seeing she's now right behind me.

Damn this lady walks fast.

She laughs loudly at my scare, "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's ok, I um, we went out for dinner." I say still clutching my chest because of my racing heartbeat.

"It was your boyfriend, eh?"

I shake my head as my cheeks heat up. "No it was a girl, I have no boyfriend."

"Oh that's a bummer, I expected someone as cute as you to have a special one in your life."

I shake my head again. "No, I'm better on my own." I say waving the subject off.

"So you no look for boyfriend?" She asks. "No." I say kind of getting tired of the conversation.

Before she could say something else a voice cuts her off, "When's the air conditioning getting fixed it's hot as hell in here." The same man who knocked on my door with the tattoos and piercings says as he walking down the hall, shoving past me and Mrs. Kim.

Mrs. Kim glares at his back as she responds, "I told you already we're working on it, now if you have a problem with it, go find somewhere else to stay. And next time say excuse me!"

The man huffs but doesn't respond and goes into the room that's across from mine, making sure to slam the door shut.

Mrs. Kim still glares at where the man once was. I can practically see the hatred in her eyes.

"W-who is he?" I ask.

"That's Jeon Jungkook. He's a criminal. He's been here since he got out of prison. Don't worry though, he won't be here much longer." She says as the smile returns to her face.

I nod looking back at his closed door.

A fucking criminal?! Are you serious?!

"I think I'm gonna head to bed now." I say as Mrs Kim nods and walks back to her office shouting a goodnight over her shoulder which I return.

I unlock my door going inside and making sure to lock it back.

Living with a criminal. Check.
