You made some cereal for yourself. The dining room was still messy. Clearly he was a ruffian, with his look and sly attitude which just cherry on top of everything. You've been sitting all morning in the living room, waiting for your housemate to wake up. You couldn't sleep last night and you ended up making a list, some rules to be exact.


You need to set boundaries with him. He looked like someone who won't easily obey the rules. This was your poor attempt to make peace with him. Hoping the two of you could treat each other better or at least not make trouble for each other. That would work too.


You glanced at the clock on the wall. It's nine in the morning and he hasn't woken up yet. You had to go to Joon's flat at eleven. Should I knock on his bedroom door? He did not even unpack his stuff yet. There were a few boxes outside his room.


Some of the paintings were already gone. He looked around your age. He didn't leave a good impression on you. You heard keys jiggled from the front door.


"You woke up early." He went for a jog and bought some groceries on the way back.


"Have a seat, please." He looked at you and the paper weirdly.


"What is this?" You slide the paper forward to his side. He opened the bottle of fresh milk he bought, "I only buy one." On purpose.


"It's okay. I don't want them."


"Oh, I genuinely think you should drink some. Your height is a bit concerning to me."


"I look cuter this way. Thanks." "Now have a proper look at this." You said strictly.



"Fair enough." You do, look cute.



"This is some rules I came up with. We should set boundaries, your side, my side since we are going to share the house." And because you did not believe his shit a bit.


"Rules?" As he got older he lived freely and you, this girl trying to set rules for him?


"It's only simple. You can read them first."He looked at the top of the list. 


"Respect each other's privacy." "Sure did. I don't want you to get through my stuff." You rolled your eyes.





Housemate's rules.
Respect each other privacy ( Minding your own business )Be polite to each otherDon't use each other's things without asking ( including your Roommate's food )Split the Household chores ( follow cleaning schedule, clean up your own mess, and take turn with the trash and recycling)Can't use bathroom more than 20 minute ( since it's sharing bathroom, use your own toiletries, don't leave your personal stuff in the bathroom )There will be a penalty for not cooperating.





"You must be so upset about your food, huh?"He snorted, as you said it's quite simple, he thought he would read at least twenty rules.


"Yes, you haven't even cleaned up yet. I will really appreciate it if you help me with that."


"You can't bring more than two friends." He added under your writing.

"What?" Two? Only? You think of inviting Jin and Yuuna to have dinner here on the weekend. You will cook or something.



"You girls are crazy, I don't want strangers  coming around my stuff." He didn't mind one person around him, but more than that would be a headache.



"What if you are not home?" You looked for a hole in the rule he made.



"Miss Y/n, there will be a penalty if you don't cooperate." He turned your words against you.


"W.. what about you?" You sure he had a lot of friends. He looked like the centre of a party. He would bring some girls over!


"I don't have a friend." He shrugged, "At least no one is close enough for me to invite them to my place." He was a reserved person.


Well.. that's kinda sad... but you wouldn't fall for his stupid act. He? He had no friends? It's maybe because he was so annoying that no one wanted to be friends with him. Now that could be true.


"I have a boyfriend. So he might come over and sleep here from time to time. I hope you don't mind." You said.



"You have a boyfriend." He smirked, "Sure I'll do as point number one."



"What about you? Are there any girls or.. boys? I should be aware of it?" You thought he had at least seven girlfriends. One for each day.



"I will remind you to respect my privacy or there'll be a penalty."  He was too good at this!



"I'm just asking." You sulked, "House chores. Which do you want to do?"


"I never did house chores before.." He could do a little clean up. But a house, he wasn't so sure.



"Then we'll do it together." You will make sure he won't escape his responsibilities!


"Next one.. bathroom. I guess it wouldn't be a problem. I woke up earlier than you." Actually.. he smiled, "The penalty should be money or punishment."


"I'm fine with money." Besides, you won't violate any of these rules. You think about them clearly.


"Don't you think if you use money to solve your problem you wouldn't learn anything?" You looked at him suspiciously.


"What do you suggest?"



"Punishment."


"Sure, why not. Don't pick too harsh punishment, okay, I'm not sure if you could keep up. If there is nothing else to add please sign here. I'll get it frame and put it in the kitchen."

He is so dead!

"Great.." He signed the paper, he wrote his name under his signature. Kim Taehyung.
