Cupid Next Door [ YEONJI ]

Chapter Trois

After the shift that felt longer than it was, Yeonjun headed straight home. On the way, he was continuously thinking about the interaction between him and Yeji. "I'm such and idiot!" He was scolding himself quietly as he was crossing the street.

Once he reached his apartment's building, he took a deep breath and ran inside, continuing to run 3 floors until he was in front of his apartment's front door. He tried to unlock it with the key, but it wouldn't budge. Then, his worst fear came true: he heard the door of Yeji's apartment open with a creak.

He turned around cautiously, only to see a girl, who thankfully wasn't Yeji, leaving his neighbor's apartment. The girl stopped when she saw Yeonjun stare at her. "What are you looking at?" She spat out right before the same door opened, revealing Yeji with a book in hands.

"Ryujin-ah, you forgot your agenda! Oh. You're still here." She said, and her eyes followed the same direction her friend was looking towards. "Oh. Hi, Choi Yeonjun!" She smiled brightly, making Yeonjun look the other way, flustered. "Here." She handed the agenda to the girl called Ryujin. "Thanks. See you tomorrow at work!" Ryujin said and left in a hurry.

Yeji turned to Yeonjun, who was trying to open his door, but with no use, the door was stuck. "Let me help you." She went towards Yeonjun, taking the key out of his hand and doing some sort of maneuver that managed to open his door. Yeji turned to him and put the key back in his hand. "Uh... thank you!" He managed to say once he realized he was staring. "No problem!" She said and patted him on the shoulder, sending electrical shocks throughout his body.

After Yeji closed the door of her apartment, Yeonjun got into his own as well. He threw his jacket on the couch and went straight to the kitchen. He got out a bowl, cereal, and milk and started eating his all-time favorite meal as he was thinking about what had just happened. He could still feel her touch on his shoulder, like it had some sort of power on him. "Strange..." he muttered.

After eating and taking a shower, Yeonjun went straight to bed, trying to fall asleep, but he couldn't. He was thinking about Yeji. Yeji. Yeji. Yeji. "We met today. I barely know her! Then why do I feel like this?" He talked to himself, trying to understand the situation he was in better.

"Whatever..."

While Yeonjun was sleeping, or at least trying to, Yeji was making use of the liquor she just bought. She was savoring every bit of the liquid that she drank. She was drinking so much that she didn't realize she had just finished the whole bottle. "Huh... I guess I should go to bed now." She said between hiccups.

And then, once she got in her bed, her thoughts ran towards a specific person. Someone she just met. "He's a big, goofy guy..." she smiled at the thought of Yeonjun in a clown car.
