Red Flags

March 2016

I think I'm gonna look for a new place. I caught Tae's attention. We had a small moment of silence since Jimin went to the bathroom.. almost 20 minutes ago. I figure he spotted a girl he liked and stopped by to try and get his next catch. Tae lowered his beer.
Why? What happened to your place?
Nothing. It's just too big. I know I was living in a luxurious place, connection my dad got when I decided to move here for university. I don't need all that space..
Did you choose that because you were with Sarah at the time? I shook my head, while taking a sip.
Nah, it was already set before I actually met her. Reason I picked it, was because Yoongi was supposed to move in with me, but the block he bought for his company has a place above the office, so he stayed there. I don't blame him for it, he's saving a lot with that.
Didn't he move in with his cute partner? Jimin showed back up at the table, taking the seat in front of me.
He did.
Some are lucky.. Anyway, what are you guys talking about?
Kook is looking for a new place, cause his is too big. Tae answered for me, while I was paying the waitress that came in with our new drinks.

Get a roommate. Jimin said after he made sure to give a wink to the girl leaving with her empty tray.
Who? You both already living together.
Anyone, find one online. You would be surprised how many people are looking for just a room to rent.
Yeah Jimin is right, a lot of people are looking and not just students. I mean, I know you don't need the money, but still some extra. They suggest that I put an ad up for it?
Living with a stranger? Jimin shrugged while drinking his beer. What if I get someone weird or dirty?
Just meet them first, don't accept the first person. You can set up rules and, since they are not on the lease, you can always kick them out. It could be interesting. I wouldn't mind having someone around to have chat from time to time.

And I did just that. The next day, I put a small ad online and by the following weekend I had around 15 people to meet. I actually had to remove it because I didn't want to spend all my day off doing random interviews. Jimin said I should get a guy for less drama, but Tae didn't agree and recommended I get a girl. He said they are usually cleaner and pay on time. I tend to trust him more, since I knew he had different roommates before Jimin moved in and all of them were female. On Saturday, a bit after noon, I already met with more than half of them, and I was already regretting it. I had a few good candidates, and I was thinking of canceling the rest since the last few were pretty wild. Like the one I was dealing with at the moment.

Well it was nice meeting you Mae. I opened the door for her.
Likewise! I will go get my stuff and move in by the afternoon! My eyes widen.
What no! I will contact you but if you didn't hear anything by Monday, someone else got it. She looked at me, baffled.
Why keep looking? I'll be perfect for you sweetie. I cringe. I'll clean, cook.. do everything for you! I slowly push her out.
Well thanks, you just helped me with my decision. She smiled, eyes full of hope. And I'm for sure not calling you back. I gave her my best smile, waving her goodbye. She stomped her foot down, acting like a kid that got denied a candy.
You don't know what you're missing! I shrugged.
Don't wanna know. She spun around getting to the stairs. I sigh when she looked at me once more.
I'm sure you'll put another ad in a few week!
If I do, please ignore it. She threw her arm in the air finally climbing down the stairs.
It should have been me! I could still hear her high-pitched whine, making me giggle. Watch where you're going! I figure she crossed someone on her way down.
You look where you going lady! I stop closing the door and stare at the staircase.
